THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THE MANFAR- THEST DOWN THE WOMEN WHO WORK IN EUROPE. SIXTH ARTICLE BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. VOL. XVII. THE MA THEST THE WOMEN WHO WORK TICLE BY BOOKER Several times during my stay in London I observed, standing on the corner in one of the most crowded parts of the city, a young woman selling papers. There are a good many women, young and old, who sell papers in London, but any one could see at a glance that this girl was different. There was something in her voice and manner which impressed me, because it seemed to be at once timid, ingratiating, and a little insolent, if that is not too strong a word. This young woman was, as I soon learned, a suffragette, and she was selling newspapers—"Votes for women." This was my first meeting with the women insurgents of England. A day or two later, however, I happened to fall in with a number of these Suffragette newspaper sellers. One of them, in a lively and amusing fashion, was relating the story of the morning's happenings. I could not help hearing what shesaid and soon became very much interested in the conversation. In fact I soon found myself so entertained by the bright and witty accounts these young women gave of their adventures that it was not long before I began to enter with them into the spirit of their crusade and to realize for the first time in my life what a glorious and existing thing it was to be a Suffragette, and, I might add, what a lot of fun these young women were having out of it. It had not occured to me, when I set out from America to make the acquaintance of the man farthest down, that I should find myself in any way concerned with the woman problem. I had not been in London more than a few days, however, before I discovered that the woman who is at the bottom in London life is just as interesting as the man in the same level of life, and perhaps a more deserving object of study and observation. In a certain way all that I saw of the condition of women at the bottom connected itself in my mind with the agitation that is going on with regard to woman at the top. Except in England, the women's movement has not, so far as I was able to learn, penetrated to any extent into the lower strata of life, and that strikes me as one of the interesting facts about the movement. It shows to what extent --- WELCOME N. N. E. C. A REAL WELCOME TO ALL. The sitting of the National Negro Educational Congress in our city brings to us a class of visitors to whom we bow with homage and adoration and in honoring them we honor ourselves. This is not only the greatest Negro session ever held this far west, but truly an epoch-making convention. This work means self-help on the part of our race; it shows antipathy to being hurdens, but to be burden-lifters. It demonstrates the fact that our educational leaders are beginning to learn the fundamental lesson of turning our minds from our ills and into the channels of our opportunities, and that no individual or race amounts to much who contents themselves sitting about brooding over their troubles, their tribulations or encumbrances, etc. While this is styled an educational session, our guest represents the rank and file of every honest calling. Men and women of successful commercial tact, apostles of industrialism, Negroes who can lucidate any problem from the primer to astronomy; men of divinity; desciples of Blackstone; men and women of the healing art, etc., are all here and with the joyful heart we extend to each and every one a most hearty welcome. Our visitors will find much to amuse, interest and entertain them, for this the interests, hopes, and ambitions of modern life have, or rather have not, entered into and become a force in the lives of the people at the bottom. Thus it came about that my interest in all that I saw of working-women in Europe was tinged with the thought of what was going to happen when the present agitation for the emancipation and the wider freedom of women generally should reach and influence the women farthest down. In my journey through Europe I was interested, in each of the different countries I visited, in DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12 1911. certain definate and characteristic things. In London, for example, it was some of the destructive effects of a highly organized and complicated city life, and the methods which the Government and organized philanthropy have employed to correct them, that attracted my attention. Elsewhere it was chiefly the condition of the agricultural populations that interested me. In all my observation and study however, I found that the facts which I learned about the condition of women tended to set themselves off and assume a special importance in my mind. It is for that reason that I propose to give, as well as I am able, a connected account of them at this point. What impressed me particularly in London were the extent and effects of the drinking habit among women of the lower classes. Until I went to London I do not believe that I had more than once or twice in my life seen women standing side by side with the men in order to drink at a public bar. One of the first things I noticed in London was the number of drunken, loafing magnificent spot is truly and rightfully placarded the Queen City of the Golden West. Our equitable climate is unsurpassed and is the topic throughout this great country. Our parks (and there are many of them) are simply dreams—no Jim Crowing—just walk right in and make yourself at home. Our car system is unequaled by any city of similar size. Get right on any desired car and ride to any boundry line of Denver for a single fare. See the beautiful and magnificent foothills by trolley or automobile for a normal fee. Our churches, eating and sleeping quarters are up to the standard and are at your disposal. Our places of indoor amusement are numerous. If you are out of evenings you will note one of the greatest lighted cities in the country. To this, as well as our homes, the distinguished guests and visitors are welcome. Visitors and delegates, be content to enjoy anything that may interest you while within the borders of our city. We are sure that your coming will be no disappointment to us, but a joyful, happy and peaceful meeting In extending this cordial and unstinted welcome, The Colorado Statesman aims to be hearty and profuse. Our doors and hearts are open to you. Many festivities are listed during your stay, chief among which is the annual outing of The Colorado Statesman at Bloomfield Park, Wednesday, August 16, 1911. You are welcome, welcome, welcome. women that are passed in the streets of the poorer quarters. More than once I ran accross these drunken and besotted creatures, with red, blotched faces, which told of years of steady excess—ragged, dirty, and disorderly in their clothing—leaning tipsy against the outside of a gin-parlor or sleeping peacefully on the pavement of an allyway. In certain parts of London the bar-room seems to be the general meeting place of men and women alike. There, in the evening neighbors, gather and gossip while they drink their beer, bitter been. It is against the law for parents to take their children into the bar-rooms, but I have frequently observed women standing about the door of the tap-room with their babies in their arms, leisurely chatting while they sipped their beer. In such cases they frequently give the lees of their glass to the children to drink. In America we usually think of a bar-room as a sort of men's club, and, if women go into such a place at all, they are let in surreptitiously at the "family entrance" Among the poorer classes in England the bar-room is quite as much the woman's club as it is the man's. The light, the warmth, and the free and friendly gossip of these places make them attractive, too, and I can understand that the people in these densely populated quarters of the city many of them living in one or two crowded little rooms, should be drawn to these places by the desired for a little human comfort and social intercourse. In this respect the bar-rooms in poorer parts of London are like the beer halls that one meets on the Continent. There is, however this difference—that the effect of drink upon the people of England seems to be more destructive than it is in the case of the people on the Continent. It is not that the English people as a whole consume more intoxicating drink than the people elsewhere, because the statistics show that Denmark leads the rest of Europe in the amount of spirits, just as Belgium leads in the amount of beer consumed per capita of the population. One of trouble seems to be that, under the NO 48 English industrial system, the people take greater chances, they are subject to greater stress and strain, and this leads to irregularities and to excessive drinking. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Battle On Regular Duty. Samuel J. Battle, the first Negro to be appointed a member of the police force in New York City, is now on duty in uniform. After undergoing a thirty days' apprenticeship in which he was instructed on the duties of an officer, last week he was assigned to do regular duty and went to work Saturday. Although it was at first given out that Police Officer Battle had been assigned on the 26th Police Precinct, which embraces Forty-second street, and Sixth avenue to the North River, the heads of the department changed their minds and sent him to the West 68th Street Precinct, which takes in from Central Park West to the North River. Many were of the opinion that the Colored police officer would be sent out in Harlem in the vicinity of 135th street. When Police Officer Battle was ordered by the lieutenant to walk about for two hours with one of the white officers last Friday he had his uniform on for the first time. The two policemen had not gone a block before a crowd began to collect and follow them. Men, women and children vied with each other to get a glimpse of the first colored man to be appointed on the police force of New York City, whom they seem to regard as a curiosity. Police Officer Battle is also attracting much attention on his beat. His superior officers have congratulated him on the fine showing he makes in his uniform.—New York Age. Booker T. Washington is moving on helping the helpless and scattering sunshine throughout Southland. Let his enemies rest awhile and look at the good which he is doing, and then go and do likewise.

Catskill, N.Y., August 2.—Bob Cole, colored comedian and song writer, walked into Catskill creek this afternoon and was drowned. It is believed his act was deliberate, for he had been ill and despondent recently. While out with two friends Cole walked into the creek and apparently allowed himself to sink. His friends, supposing it was in play, watched for some minutes before realizing that Cole was drowned. Cole had appeared all over the country. He often impersonated a tramp and sang songs of his own composition. He was born in Athens, Ga., forty three years ago.

The Senate has taken up the Arizo- na and New Mexico statehood propo- sition. Recall of judges bitterly at tacked. The last chance to get pension legis- lation through the House at this ses sion was lost when Speaker Clark sus tained a point of order by Represen- tative Fitzgerald against the Anderson invalid pension bill. Although Senator La Follette de- clared his conviction that there would be a wool tariff revision bill at this session, both he and Representative Underwood of Alabama acknowledge that they are no nearer an agreement on the measure. Feebly defending his confessed graft Former State Senator D, W Holtslaw, the sixty-two-year-old Illi- nois banker and church leader retold to the Senate Lorimer committee bis story of being paid for voting for Lay imer for Senator. Bearing an initiative and referen: dum feature to safeguard against ger- rymandering in a number of states the Congressional reapportionment bill passed the Senate. It fixes the future House membership at 433—with two more when Arizona and New Mexico attain statehood—instead of the pres- ent 391. George W. Perkins, a director of the United States Steel Corporation and one of ths men said to have aided in averting financial disaster during the panic of 1907, faces the alterna- tive of answering questions to the House commitiee on inquiry into the steel corporation, bearing on his per- sonal campaign contributions or being sent to prison, Members of Congress from the West, insurgents as well as regulars, who are opposed to a revision of the wool tariff at this time, are becoming convinced that Senator La Follette does not intend that the President shall have an opportunity to carry in- to effect his intention to veto a wool bill framed in advance of the tarité board report. To his story of how he claims he was bribed to vote for Lorimer, Charles A. White, former member of the Illinois Legislature, added for the benefit of the Senate Lorimer com- mittee that he believed every one of the fifty-three Democrats who voted for Lorimer did so for a money con- sideration. He added that he thought some of the Republicans who voted for Lorimer got money for so doing. Chairman Underwood and Senator La Follette of the House ways and means committee, who have undertak- en to reconcile the differences be- tween the Senate and the House on the wool and the farmers’ free list bills for the full conference commit tee, are in an unquestioned deadlock with the possibility of remaining 80, and thus forcing an adjournment of the session without final action on either of these measures.

No Money to Fight Scabies. Denver.—An appropriation made by the state Legislature to be used in joining with the federal officers in fighting the spread of cow mange or scabies in this state is unavailable be: cause of the crippled condition of the state's finances. The appropriation amounts to $10,000 and cattle men who were instrumental in getting the bill through the Legislature believed that if properly expended it could do much to put a stop to this cattle scour- age. Now the new state veterinarian is readp to begin work and the money is not available. The appropriation has been placed in the fourth class which is for the present a class from which no appropriations will be paid. It is likely that money will not be available to pay this class of appro- priations for a year if it ever becomes available, and meanwhile Colorado will have to depend upon the efforts of the federal stock inspectors to fight the eattle mange. New Court of Appeals Judges. Denver.—Governor Shafroth has filed with the secretary of state his appointments to the new Court of Ap- peals authorized by the last session of the Legislature. There were more than 100 candi- dates for the five judicial positions each being a prominent lawyer in Col- orado. The governor has had all these candidates under consideration for three months, and his announcement ot the five men is the resul: of long study. The five men the governor has ap- pointed to the Court of Appeals are among the best known lawyers in Col- orado. Each of them is a resident of the state for many years and of va- ried experience in law, Tully Scott of Cripple Creek has been named as presiding judge of the new court. "The other judges appointed by the ‘governor are: Alfred R. King, Esq., of Delta, Delta county, Wclo.; Stuart D. Walling, Esq., of the city and coun- ty of Denver, Colo.; Edwin W. Hurl- but, Esq., of the city and county of Denver, Colo., and Louis W. Cunning: ham, Esq., of Colorado Springs, El Pago county, Colo. The Court of Appeals will, on Octo- ber 1, when its members assume of- fice, begin on the back calendar of the Supreme Court. It will not for the present, in all probability, assume any of the new business of the Su- preme Court, but will clear up the docket and then it takes up its duty, handling a part of the work that now comes to the Supreme Court. Big Colonization Scheme. Durango.—Steps are to be taken for the colonization of 136,000 acres of land at a point a few miles distant from Durango.

AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE OLD STAND 1443-1447 Stout St. ‘Western Newspaper Union News Service, ‘Washington.—By a vote of 53 to 18 the Dill granting statehood to New Mexico and Arizona was passed by the Senate after rejection of the Nelson amendment which proposed striking out of the Arizona constitution its ju: diclary recall provision. ‘The bill, as passed by the Senate, differs only slightly from the House measure, and it is sald may be unsatisfactory to President Taft. He has contended all along that he would be glad to sign the statehood bill it the Nelson amendment pre- vailed, but that it was a grave ques: tion whether he would be willing to sign it if the amendment were defeat- ed, as it was by 43 to 26. The indica- tions are that the bill will become a law without his signature. ‘The Senate amended the House bil: with two minor changes regarding the manner of voting in New Mexico on proposed amendments to its constitu tion. These undoubtedly will be agreed to by the House and the bill will be expedited to the White House. These ‘amendments were reported by the Senate committee on territories and agreed to without debate. Practically all the debate on the bill centered around the Nelson amendment. Even some senators, who declared their opposition to the recall of judges, voted against the amend: ment on the ground that if the peo ple of Arizona desired recall as part of their system of government it was for them and not for Congress to say whether they should have it. ‘The bill as passed compels Arizo- no as a condition precedent to entry into the Union, to submit the recall proposition to the voters for final de cision as to whether it shall remain in their constitution. New Mexico musi vote on a proposition embodied in the bill which would make the constitu tion.of the state easier of amendment ‘The test vote came on the Nelsorz amendment, which was lost. ‘After this had been defeated it was thought the bill would be adopted without division, but Senator Bailey called for the ayes and nays. Senator Bradley of Kentucky, and O'Gorman of New York voted for the Nelson amendment. ‘The same two members, with Sen ator Bailey, yoted against the fina passage of the measure, as did tw progressive Republicans, Senator Bris tow of Kansas and Kenyon of Iowa ‘The others who voted against the ad mission of the territories were Sena tors Brandegee of Connecticut, Burn ham of New Hampshire, Crane o! Massachusetts, Curtis of Kansas, Dil lingham of Vermont, Heyburn of Ida ho, Lippitt and Wellmore of Rhode Island, Nelson of Minnesota, Oliver and Penrose of Pennsylvania, Root o!

ANOTHER revolution is said to be in progress in Hayti. President Simon went into office on a revolutionary wave, and in spite of his promise of a placid sea and a pleasant sail under his piloting, he seems destined to get out just as he came in. Hayti seems to run its government on a war basis, and continues to disappoint the hopes of colored people elsewhere, who want to point to the Haytians as examples of the capacity of colored people to govern themselves. There is a chance, of course, that some of the published dispatches concerning conditions in Hayti are manufactured by designing Americans, but if there were not some actual disorders of serious character endangering the country's peace and the welfare of foreigners, there would be no chance for fake reports to make any reasonable impression. Hayti needs to do something to improve her international standing. She needs to do something to cure the war malady, or the semblance of it, at which American or other foreign press agents can seek to arouse fear and unrest on the part of outsiders holding interests there. After people learn the futility of war they learn to avoid it by peace conventions or other compromises. Haytians fight among themselves all too easily, and they ought to find a way to stop it. Her constitution or her laws are at fault somewhere. In our judgment, she needs a constitutional convention, to which all of her generals and other statesmen should be invited, and a new constitution and code of laws designed specifically to quench the revolutionary spirit ought to be adopted. Officers should be provided and distributed in such a manner as to make revolution unprofitable, or else the presidency should be abolished entirely and a commission substituted. Frequent elections might help out. As things are going, Hayti is becoming a discouragement. Our race loyalty embraces no excuse for anarchy or other self-destructive methods of government. WAS NEGRO ENFRANCHISEMENT A MISTAKE? THAT it was a grave mistake to grant wholesale enfranchisement to the Negro as a part of the program of reconstruction following the close of the Civil War has often been alleged in print, in Congress and in the public forum, and we frankly confess that the argument in support of the allegation has seemed to us hard to meet. The necessities of the situation were so crowded and embarrassed by strange and demoralizing results that the underlying wisdom of the policy of the North was easily lost sight of. We are, therefore, thankful for a very lucid editorial in The Independent, the great weekly magazine of New York, criticising an article in its own issue of July 13, written by a liberal Southerner and reiterating this charge against the North. The Independent says: "There was so much bad in the Reconstruction period that it is easy to condemn its policy. That is now popular, and we allow Southern historians to write the story and guide the popular judgment; but we are of those who believe that despite debts, despite corruption, the general policy was wise and its purpose righteous and its adoption necessary. "Leaving out the consideration of the bad administrative features, what were the principles involved? They were, first, equal suffrage and equal civil rights, as expressed in the last two amendments to the constitution; and, secondly, a free public school system. What was desired was to hold fast to our central doctrine of liberty and equal rights as expressed in the Declaration of Independence, and then to create an educated body of citizens who would be competent wisely to exercise these rights. The achievement of this purpose required the creation of new state constitutions which should embody these principles. To achieve it easily and quietly would require the co-operation of the white people of the South. To some extent, as in North Carolina and Georgia, this was given, with happy results. In other states it was bitterly resented, and evil results followed. The enfranchised Negroes needed the kindly guidance of their natural white leaders, but they seldom got it, and this was unfortunate for both races. Professor Banks implies that it was a mistake to give the ballot to the ignorant Negroes. We suppose it might have been denied to the illiterate; but that rule would have disfranchised quite as many white men. The great gift of Reconstruction was that it created the public school, and provided that those to whom the vote was given should be able to cast their votes intelligently. There was no such system before the war; now it cannot be taken away. The system is yet very imperfectly and very unfairly organized; but it is the best blessing the South has, and it is the gift of the Reconstruction period. The giving of the ballot to all, white and black, was high statesmanship. At one step it was assured the transformation from slavery to liberty. To achieve it immediately was necessitated by the conditions. Throughout the South those who believed in slavery, who held it impossible that the Negro could rule, were enacting laws to reduce the freedman to a condition of peonage equivalent to slavery. They were not to be called slaves, perhaps, but they were to be serfs, bond servants, held to the soil, not allowed free movement, subject to their masters. The public seems to have forgotten this. The conditions required drastic and heroic treatment, and there were statesmen who saw it and acted wisely. The results prove that they were right. Education is vastly improved for both white and black, and the principle of equal rights and equal suffrage is upheld even when its enjoyment is more or less restrained. The progress of the Negroes in education and wealth under that policy is nothing less than wonderful. The men, in the days before the war, who held that slavery was wrong in morals and bad in policy were totally right." By DR. P. C. BRANSCOMB, Montreal, Can. OME time ago a lady of whom I thought a great deal and to whom I stood in the relation of family physician came to see me, as she said, to have a heart-to-heart talk about her husband, a very close friend of mine and a most worthy man. She had no complaint to make of her consort. He was everything that was kind and good and generous, but—there is always a but—it was beginning to tell on her nerves the way her good man bothered her without being conscious of it. The trouble was he hung about the house too much and this threw upon her the burden of entertaining him. He was in magnificent health except when now and then he suffered from an over-indulgence in wine and mixed decoctions. Whenever this happened he was especially hard to entertain. This was about the gist of her woes, and wouldn't I please do something to help her out. I asked her it her husband had ever tried golf, and finding out he hadn't I told her to send him to me. When he called I told him with all gravity I could muster that he needed a new interest in life and that if he would take my counsel I'll give him, gratis, a prescription that would lengthen his life at least ten years. Of course, I didn't allude to wifey's visit. He was curious, and I saw that my words impressed him. Well, I expatriated to that gentleman for twenty minutes on golf, and got him so keyed up that he was trying it inside of twenty-four hours. Today he is an enthusiast and also a shining example of what the sport will do for a man of fifty who has become tired of nearly all other diversions, travel included. ? Mr. Golfplayer's wife met me the other day as I was leaving home and told me she was absolutely happy over the change in her lord and master. She said he had ceased drinking, ceased hanging about her when she didn't feel up to the task of amusing him, and that he had rather do without his dinner than his regular game. It was the best remedy she had ever seen given to reform a man. As One Wage Earner Views Salary Question By J. D. KELLUS We are seeing constantly the employers' side. Employees are urged "to hitch their wagon to a star," to do the best work possible, and the question of recompense will solve itself. Now, please let me speak for that long-suffering employee. I'll grant there are many unconscientious workers, as there are unscrupulous employers. But is the percentage of the first so much greater than that of the latter? Of course a clever employer recognizes efficiency, but the point is that he is not willing to pay for that efficiency which he recognizes; not until he has to. He has to only when another employer recognizes it. My point is that when a worker has achieved the solid basis of real efficiency, in order to have his or her own employer recognize it he must make some other employer see it first. For instance, I know a girl, competent and successful, who was working for the sum of $6 a week. Another business man saw her worth and offered her $10. She immediately went to her employer and told him of her offer. Naturally he raised her salary to $10. Another instance was that of a young man working for $15 a week. A rival firm offered $21, with an increase of $1 a week for each succeeding year until a maximum of $25 was reached. When he told this to the head of his own firm the offer was at once met with one exactly similar. He remained where he was. The firm gave its "capable and expert" employee the $21, but has never since raised it. Now, this is not intended as a tirade against employers. I have no especial grievance. Though far from being adequately paid, I am considered one of the successful workers. But I do know there are two sides to this question, and this is to urge the girls wherever possible to let other firms know of their ability that their own employers may be alive to the fact of their conscientious and capable efforts. Laborers Blind to Their Own Interest By DR. JAMES BANNING of London The average workingman of Great Britain is greatly in favor of a scheme of insurance against invalidity, so that he will have a support no matter what happens to him. He has read of the splendid system whereby the German government insures its working class and thinks his own government should do as much. But when it comes to the withholding of a part of his wages as his personal contribution to the insurance fund, the British wage-earner makes a vigorous protest. In Germany the state, the employer and the worker all contribute, which is a fair proposition, especially as the percentage given by the employee is very small. Yet the Englishman balks at the enforced levy. He is perfectly willing to pay sixpence to see a game of football, but to be forced to hand over that sum, even when it goes to his own benefit, is a totally different thing, and it will take a campaign of education to teach the people to act in their own interest.

Again We Say Subscribe for THIS PAPER WASHINGTON GOSSIP Washington Has a Plague of Cranks Inspectors Are Busy Watching Frauds Scurrying Little Senate Messengers New Senators Laugh at Silence Rule MARK 32 WASHINGTON.—Every crank in the country that doesn't know what fool thing to do with himself gets on the train and tells the conductor to put him off at Washington—thinks he must see the president. If the wheels in the head of some lunatic in Bangor, Me., or Tombstone, Ariz., get to working overtime he heads for Washington to show the president the mechanism. If some long-haired lunatic in Oshkosh builds a wheelbarrow out of a soap box and a sifter rim he won't be happy till he's trundled it 'cross country to Washington and has the president come out on the front porch and look at it. Every summer, before the president leaves, there's a perfect deluge of cranks that have ridden horseback from Dawson City or driven an ox team from some town out beyond the Rockies, says a White house attache. Recently we had two of these idols in one day—three, to be exact. One THE efforts of the government and the various states to provide pure food for the people of the country has brought about a higher quality of foodstuffs, but it has not deterred the inventive genius of the country from trying to work out schemes for substitutes and adulterations. State food and drug inspectors receive scores of letters and circulars from alleged chemists and get-rich-quick men who would make grocers and butchers their tools. Probably the worst adulteration that has come to the attention of the department is a butter emulsion which will cause the butter to absorb its exact weight in water and still prevent the butter eaters knowing it. Take a pound of butter and a pound of water and a spoonful of this emulsion, work the three together for about ten minutes, and there is two pounds of butter and no water. The average housewife could not tell the difference between this watered butter and the real article. A man in Tennessee has developed a scheme by which he can make a pure apple cider vinegar at an actual cost of four cents a gallon, and using one apple for each gallon. The fraud could not be detected except by an actual chemical test. The same chap also has a scheme for making apple 17 YEARS OLD MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY BEHIND THIS IS THE DAY I GET CANNED VISITORS in the galleries of the senate chamber are always interested in the bright little messengers who scurry about bent on errands for the senators. These pages live officially in an age limit. They must be no less than twelve nor more than sixteen years old. His seventeenth birthday is usually a sorry day for the page boy for it may be long before he can have so good an income; certainly many years before he can earn so much with so little physical and mental effort. The boys are employed during the sessions of the senate a $2.50 a day; and that means 30 or 31 days a month, whether the senate is in session every day or not. There are now fourteen pages on the floor of the senate, and four riding pages. The latter receive $550 a year, their pay going on whether the senate is in ALL the new members of the senate seem to have "lit a talkin'," as the southern mountaineers say of a garrulous stranger with a ready flow of conversation. In other days it was considered the proper thing for a new senator to sit in silence through his first term of six years. It is only a few years since a lot of precedent-bound senatorial dignitaries expressed their indignation at the intrusion of new members by walking out of the senate chamber when Beveridge began to talk a few days after taking his seat. The same treatment was given La Follette, who remarked as the coat tails of his colleagues vanished through the door that they would come back and listen, and that he probably would be in the senate when most of them had been retired. Of the recently elected members of the senate, many are young men, caring little for antiquated traditions. Luke Lea of Tennessee, thirty-two was a man riding a burro from San Diego to Boston on a bet, and the other two were a man and his wife from some insane place out west. They had sworn on the bones of the saints or something that they would walk into every state in the Union within a twelvemonth; they had already been in seventeen, and, having thus acquired fame, came to Washington to show themselves to the president. Then there's the lunatic who tramps across country on a wager that he can go from ocean to ocean on a dollar and thirty-seven cents. There must be a hundred of him every year, and he generally brings a letter to the president from the mayor of the little town he comes from. And these are just a few of them; if I'd put down the names of all this breed of cranks that turn up here to see the president in six months it would be longer than the list of applicants for a vacant consulship. The trouble is, the president, in many instances, can't get out of seeing the crank. With the cunning of one of his kind, he generally goes straight to one of the local papers. The paper takes him up, prints his photograph and publishes his vain-glorious interview about his eccentricities. JUST A CASE OF WATERING STOCK ON A SMALL SCALE butter with one apple to the gallon of butter and at a cost of one-fourth the real article. A man in Rochester, N. Y., developed a plan of treating sawdust with molasses to use in adulterating spices. One part of the real spice and three parts of sawdust made the product, which could not be detected by the eye or tongue. Frauds in flavoring extracts and maple syrup have been common. A Vermont man has offered a recipe to grocers so that they can make the maple syrup they purchase into an adulterated product, three gallons of fraudulent syrup to one-half gallon of the real syrup. There are numerous other schemes for increasing the weight of parched coffee, preserving eggs, useless baking powders, making mincemeat and tomato catsup at reduced cost by using little meat or tomatoes. The grocer, to get the recipes, must pay for them. The price is usually $10 and a pledge to secrecy. session or not. The pages are never removed on account of politics. The boys of the senate wear knee breeches, neat little round-abouts, silk stockings and well-polished shoes. Their faces and hands are clean, their hair carefully brushed and each one of them looks as if he had just come out of a bandbox. The duties of a page today are substantially the same as were required at the beginning of the government. Sometimes the boys are not dismissed when they reach the age limit. Exceptionally bright pages have been retained as riding pages, whose duty it is to carry messages for senators to executive departments and to all points in the national capital. Others have been promoted to the position of deputy sergeant-at-arms of the senate, or as superintendent of pages on the Democratic or Republican side of the senate. The boys attend night school and by listening to debates and by reading the congressional record are receiving educations on national affairs and on economics such an no university in the world could afford to provide for its students. WHEN TRADITIONS OF THE SENATE AND BUSINESS CONFLICT TRADITIONS WILL BE IGNORED years old, and the youngest man ever seated in the senate, began talking very soon after taking the oath of office and has on several occasions notified his colleagues that when traditions of the senate and business methods conflict the traditions will be ignored. Senator Kenyon of Iowa is not much older and is a ready and aggressive talker, with no disposition whatever to play a thinking part through six years. Senator Pomerene of Ohio relieved himself of a speech within a few weeks after taking his seat, and Senators Williams, Works and Hitchcock are all talkative new members.

What Is to Come Is Hard to Predict—Present Styles Are Popular With Wearers, at Least—Revival of Taffeta. The Paris season has run its gay course, winding up in the whirl of its "great week"; in London the coronation and its attendant social functions are past, and on this side of the water broiling hot weather has brought forth all the midsummer chiffons and set things humming at the various summer resorts. For the folk vitally interested in the modes the last word has been said regarding summer fashions, and already they are concerned with the early Paris openings and projected novelties for the autumn, yet they study the summer frocks closely, for in the latest of these lie hints of autumn probabilities, and if one is buyer or designer or maker one must not be caught napping. Nothing is certain concerning radical changes. The prophet who says otherwise is bluffing, but it seems likely that those leaders in the dressmaking world who have most to do with launching new modes will make a desperate effort to effect very considerable changes this fall. The prosperity of the trade demands it. It has been possible for several seasons past for a woman to wear an old frock without appearing actually out of the fashion, and that is a thing painful to manufacturers, merchants and dressmakers. Something really must be done to relegate all last winter's frocks to outer darkness, and the only effective way of accomplishing this is to bring about a decided change in the silhouette. Mere change of detail will not be enough. But this change of silhouette cannot be brought about too abruptly. The women who wear the clothes do have something to say about them, and the women have clung rather tenaciously to the straight, narrow silhouette, with its scant skirt and simple bodice and close clipped shoulders and high waist line. To win them from their allegiance will be a work of diplomacy and the designers have been experimenting gently for some months past. Here and there one has seen a skirt with a trifle more amplitude than the majority, a noticeably smart frock with natural waist line defined. Flounders and plaitings have crept into use, though so flat and limp are they that they do not seem aggressive. The Marle Antoinette fichu has been used upon the narrow, scant, high-waisted models of 1911, but perhaps it may be an entering wedge for the long waist and skirt amplitude of its own period. The revival of taffeta and the trimmings of the early Victorian period—ruchings, shirred cords, puffing, etc.—may be another opening wedge, though now all this is set in tune with the silhouette of last spring. It will be interesting to see the results, but for the moment the modes are amusingly eclectic, and where ultra-smart folk congregate one is likely to see frocks hinting at many periods, though the majority, as has been said MODELS OF SCHOOL DRESSES Designed for Girls of from Ten to Twelve Years of Age—May Be Made in Many Materials. Pale blue cambric with a darker blue stripe is used for our model, which is simply made with a panel taken down back and front; on this the stripes are cut to run horizontally, on other parts they run down. A collar of white lawn hemstitched with blue is worn; it is cut with one point at back and two at front. A belt of dark blue encircles the waist. Material required: 4 yards 36 inches wide. Either cotton, linen or fine woolen material can be used. The bodice is made with a box-seat down the center of back and before, show a uniformity in general plan that is a trifle monotonous, even though one may approve the plan. CARE OF THE DRESS SHIELD Use of Pins Something to Be Avoided —Proper Way to Wash the Articles. Shields for sleeves of thin summer gowns should be edged with a narrow valenciennes lace, or, still better, covered with white lawn edged with lace, or you may use shields with the outside faced with silk. As the shields will show plainly through a thin gown, it is well to give attention to the selection, choosing those of good quality and light'weight. Instead of sewing or pinning shields in a waist, sew a narrow piece of tape or baby ribbon at each end of the shield, and sew similar pieces at the proper distance apart in the armholes of all your waists. The shields are quickly tied in place, they are easily changed in wash waists, and there are no pins to rust or prick. To wash shields, first place them in cold water to soak. Perspiration cannot be removed if they are first washed in warm water. Scrub them light-press under a cloth. A dress shield may be cut in half and each half used as the lining for the baby's bib. Make a removable cover of linen or lawn edged with lace or embroidered.

Opinion seems to be unanimous as to the prominence of the side frill or jabot, says the Dry Goods Economist. That is the accessory on which French women have concentrated attention. Report has it that almost every well dressed woman at the French capital wears a frill jabot in some form. Not only are they seen on the coats of taffeta or satin and wool serge or silk serge suits, but on fancy lingerie blouses and dresses as well. It is not often that a piece of neckwear adapts itself to almost every style of toilette that is fashionable. This fact is the secret of the present popularity of the side frill in Europe, and there is no doubt that the vogue will be repeated on this side. front and three narrow tucks on each shoulder, stitched down about five inches. Little yokes are arranged on the shoulders, with rounded tabs cut out in with them, where a button is sewn. The skirt has a box-plait down front and a deep added piece at foot, which is set on with a wrapped seam. Materials required: $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards 42 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{2}$ dozen buttons. Pink Ribbon In Lingerie. With the incoming of thin summer clothes one sees a good deal of the now established French idea of using pink ribbon in one's lingerie instead of any other color. The claim is that it brings out the color of the skin, and is more artistic than blue or lavender. If one wants to try its merits it would be wise to run chemises and corset covers with a quarter inch pink ribbon a little deeper in tone than what is known as flesh color. An elaborate display of ribbon is not in good taste. It is possible that an eighth of an inch would be the best width to use. Care of the Baby's Feet. Too much care cannot be given the baby's feet. The little child's foot is naturally pretty, but it is so soft and pliant that it is easily molded and an ill fitting, badly made shoe will only too quickly deform it and twist it out of shape. The shoes, regardless of whether they are buttoned or laced, must not be too tightly fastened or the circulation of the blood will be impeded. It is a good plan in summer to allow the baby to go barefoot as much of the time as possible about the home. This allows the foot to grow naturally. AMERICAN PASSES AWAY IN PARIS IN ARMS OF HIS WIFE. AFTER LONG ILLNESS PNEUMONIA AND KIDNEY TROU- BLE CAUSED MR. GATES' Western Newspaper Union News Service. Paris.—The American financier John W. Gates, died in the arms of his wife and his son Charles G. Gates. The end was peaceful and it seemed as though he was falling asleep. The usual restoratives failed in the last crisis. His iron constitution and courageous resistance, backed by every resource of medical science, failed to save Mr. Gates. He had battled for weeks heroically with a disease of the kidney's and when it was believed he was almost sure to recover, he contracted pneumonia. Several times he was reported to be at the point of death, but with the aid of powerful stimulants, rallied. The pneumonic and kidney troubles ameliorated somewhat, but there was a recurrence of the congestion of the kidneys which was followed by a further attack. Mr. Gates suffered a general relapse and gradually sank until death intervened. Mrs. Gates and his son Charles G. Gates had been at the bedside almost constantly since Mr. Gates' illness was pronounced serious. Genial, warmly loved and fiercely hated, who never accepted defeat, gave and took hard blows and always laughed; who followed many courses in his indefatigable chase for wealth, made and lost many millions, but more often won than lost, John W. Gates flaved to forgive and then attend the funeral of most of his enemies and died a successful and wealthy man. Mr. Gates virtually began his career in St. Louis and there achieved his first and most characteristic victories. Born on an Illinois farm, he went to Chicago like most of the enterprising young men of his age. "The cards came up wrong for me in Chicago," he used to say, so he moved to St. Louis, carrying no excess baggage in the way of money, opened an office as a broker in the iron and steel business and began to spy out the land. Seven or eight years ago Mr. Gates' health, which he had treated as cavalierly as he had his fortune, began to break and rumors of his retirement began to be heard. He had removed to New York in the meantime and opened expensive offices in the Wall street district with his son, Charles T. Gates, and a number of other partners.
