LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY COATESVILLE SHAME Aftermath of Coatesville Negro Burning. America's Self-Government Collapsed when put to a test. The Outrage Scored by a Southerner. VOL. X/111. COATES Aftermath of Coatesville N Self-Government Collapse The Outrage Score What made the Coatesville horror possible is a question many are asking, when they examine the local conditions and find only an apparently peaceful, commonplace Quaker community! Yet here a Negro was taken from a hospital, whither he had been brought after severely wounding himself to prevent being taken alive to answer for killing an officer of the law. He was placed upon a burning pile and beaten with fence rails until he died in the flames. The story was told in our last week's issue. Mr. William T. Ellis has made a special study of the crime, its causes, and the community where it occurred, and his answer, in aword is: "It was a social, political, moral, and religious collapse on the part of a community that is worse than most of its neighbors, and better than some." But the appalling thing, to his mind, is that the roots of the crime "strike back into the present-day American character." "It was due," he declares, "partly to lack of conviction and character, to essential irreligion; partly to frivolous-mindedness, the old Athenian lust for a new sensation; partly, in its beginnings, to intemperance, partly to lack of the church-going habit (the gathering of the mob synchronized with the evening church services); partly, to that provincialism which makes men incapable of considering consequences beyond their own village, and primarily to the absence of the great conceptions of loyalty to God's law, and to man's law." The investigation of this crime says the writer in The Continent (Chicago), leads "up to the door of the churches." "Coatesville is a more than ordinarily religious town. That fact is written not in cynicism but in sincerity. * * * * * "Law failed in Coatesville. Our boasted American self-government collapsed completely when put to a test. The Chinese, Japanese, Hindu, Turkish, European and British editors who comment upon this terrible tragedy as proof of the breakdown of the American system cannot easily be gainsaid." No man in Coatesville, according to the investigator, raised his voice against the avowed purposes not of the crowd. "It was a blood-thirsty crowd; seemingly heedless, fundamentally lawless, and eager for any sort of excitement." "Any strong man could have turned them aside." The pastors of the seven Protestant churches were away on their vacations; the Roman Catholic priest was in the city, but away from his nome. Only the nurses at the hospital which held the wounded Negro raised voices in protest, and they, frightened by the pressure of a besieging mob of thousands, in vain sent appeals over the telephone "to the officials and to leading private citizens for succor." Now that Coatesville has had time to reflect, her attitude toward the crime is fixed. "Nothing in the Coatesville conditions depressed me more than the city's apparent callousness to the enormity of its offense." The citizens went about their usual business, and the observer made his visitt "their talk was of the business men's annual picnic on the morrow." "Yes, the town of Coatesville went on a picnic to Reading, three days after this tragedy which startled the world. There were two train-loads, aggregating, the station agent told me, between 1,000 and 1,100 persons. All this is not the conduct one might expect of a city, more than half of whose adult population had committed, or approvingly witnessed, a foul murder which had caused the whole nation to lift its voice in horror stricken protest." SOUTHERNOR SCORES COATES- VILLE BURNING. I am a white man of pure Cuscasian blood, with not a drop of Negro blood in all my ancestry. I am a Southerner by birth—a native of Louisiana. In politics I am an Independent Republican, and in every line of thought I am an Independent and Progressive. I am not in love with the Negro, but I am in love with justice and with humanity; and if the awful deed, the more than savage burning of the Negro, Walker, that has forever blackened the name of your city, and left the stain, which not even justice can wipe out, is not followed by bringing to swift justice and merciless punishment the worse than hyenas, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7 1911. State Hist & Nat Hist Societies State House ONIZING MERC ADO JOURNAL DENVER, COLORAD who somehow or other, have acquired the semblance of human beings, then I ask God to call down upon them the punishment commensurate with such an awful deed, and to wipe from the face of the community that would condone such superlative fiendishness incarnate! Knowing to what a degraded level the police of our country—North, South, East, and West, in rural communities as well as cities and towns—have fallen; that they form one of the principal sources and main abbeetors instead of preventers and curers of vice and crime; that almost universally their sole work is the accumulation of human misery and want that they feed and fatten upon it; that they have become a scourge and not a protection to most communities, large or small, that they secretly encourage and connive at the breaking of the very laws that they are specially selected to uphold; and that instead of bending every effort to the capture of criminals they expend that energy in the effort to make criminals of innocent men and women who without friends, money or influence win their displeasure and fall into their power; until to day the police of America are almost universally known as the most brutal, depraved and corrupt on earth! Knowing also that the Negro, whatever his faults, is nearer to our Americanism by birth, inheritance, contact, environment, education, and tradition than the scum of almost every nation and race on the earth, that are allowed to swarm through the gates of our Castle Garden; that the Negro, since the shackles of slavery have been stricked from his limbs, has paid for that emancipation in full, not only by fighting the battles of his white persecutor, with distinction and even glory, in the Civil, Indian, Spanish, and Philippine wars), but by emancipating himself from ignorance, helplessness and poverty, and making himself a useful, industrious and helpful citizen; and knowing that there is a certain element of mahy American communities, associated with those secret powers—hierarchical as well as political—that are secretly bending every energy to the destruction of American institutions and American spirit! Knowing these things I repeat, and feeling that the statement given out as to the acts and the confessions of Walker are one-sided and cannot now be confuted by the miserable victim of their awful savagery, and the meager fact in his favor, that has been allowed to creep through the press censorship, that he killed the policeman in self-defense, I, as an old newspaper man and man of the world, expert in the analysis and study of human action, base my protest upon the well known facts given by me above. Next to the awful inhumanity of such fiendish deeds, my greatest objection is to their thorough un-Americanism! Back of them is suggestion of clericalism, more even, than racialism, and I ask my countrymen to beware of the secret power that lies back of it all.—Louis J. Livingstone. WHITE AND COLORED FARMERS Washington, D. C., Sept. 20. Census Director Durand gave out today an important advance statement from the bureau of census containing additional figures and details of the agricultural statistics of continental United States collected at the thirteenth decennial census, April 15, 1910. It is based on a preliminary comparative summary submitted by Dr LeGrand Powers, chief statistician for the division of agriculture in the bureau of the census and it supplements a brief preliminary notice issued in July last. The figures here given are subject to revision, inasmuch as there are a small number of farms the returns for which are incomplete, which will be included in the final tables. Such additions, however will not materially modify either the amounts or the rates herein stated. The number uf farms operated by white farmers was 5,422,892,or 85.5 per cent of all farms, while the number operated by Negro, and other non-white farmers was 917,465,or 14.5 per cent of the whole. There is a slight increase in the proportion of Negro and other nonwhite farmers, the proportion of farms operated by them 10 years ago being 13.4 per cent. Whether this increase in the proportionate number of Negro farmers means any increase in the relative extent of farming conducted by Negroes cannot be determined until further tabulations are made showing the size of farms, by color or farmer. Famous Negroes. A quartet of famous Negroes; Sergeievich Poushkin, born in 1799 of a noble Russian family on the paternar side, had an Ethiopian grandmother. Aleander Dumas pers, born in 1802, descended from an African grandmother from Haiti and a French nobleman. The novelist's father took the name of Dumas from his Ethiopian mother. Samuel Coleridge Taylor, born in London in 1857, the son of a West African doctor and an English mother; and Will Marion Cook, with both maternal and paternal African forbears. Cook's mother was the first colored school teacher in the state Kentucky, and his father one of the first colored lawyers in America to practice in the city of Washington, D. C. where the composer was born forty four years ago. RACE NEWS --- Lonisville, Ky—Quite a number of months ago several ladies proposed to establish a home for colored girls where they would be trained in Domestic Science and other useful arts. Everyone, white and colored, was in favor of the establishment of the home. Several solicitors were placed in the field; the site for the home was selected in a white residence district. The white citizens in the neighborhood raised a storm and have held several indignation meetings, declaring that the establishment of such a home in this aristocratic neighborhood would depreciate the value of their homes. It seems so strange how some of these same persons will not have any one else but colored servants who sleep on the premises, who cook their food, laundry their clothes, nurse their children and fill every position around their home. Yet when a home is established to train young women for these places a great storm is raised. Wilmington, Del., Sept. 5.—Mrs. Laury Kirby, colored, age 58 years 1104 Walnut street, is the mother of 27 children. No other mother in Wilmington can lay claim to such a record. Of her 27 children nine four girls and five boys are living. Only one, Jas. Kirby, is now in this city. He is her first son, her first daughter being a twin sister to James. This mother of many children was a slave in the home of John Davis, at Centerville Md. Just after the war, when she was 15 years of age, she was married to Louis Kirby. Mrs. Kirby's first children were twins. They both living. She gave birth to three more sets of twins, and then her children came singly, one each year, until there twenty seven in all. Altough a large woman and a mother of twenty-seven children Mrs. Kirby is a very active woman. She goes out to do washing early in the week, and takes washing at her home the last half of the week. She lived at Centerville until about nineteen years ago, when at the death of her husband came to this city. Asbury Park, N. J., Sept. 20. The delivery of 900 feet of hose to the Eureka Fire Company has stirred up a hornet's nest among those of the whites who do not want to see the colored fire company here. The hose was deliver- NO 4 ed some time ago at the instance of Councilman Weedon and trouble has been brewing ever since. Some of the prejudiced members of the City Council ordered Fire Chief Arthur H. Hope to send for the hose, but members of the Eureka Company refused to give it up unless the Chief or some member of the Council appeared for it in person. This has brought on a controversy, as Chief Hope refuses to go after it in person and his removal has been threatened. The Eureka Fire Company is situated on Springwood avenue, right in the heart of the colored residential section, and all of its members are colored. The colored section is west of the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad in a section formerly called Neptune Township. It represents almost a colored town for here are all of the residences, business placer, hotels and boarding houses for the race. There are also two colored policemen and one constable in this division. St. Louis, Mo.—Supreme Keener of Records and Seals C. K. Robinson, in discusring the great progress being made by the Knights of Pythias, stated that at the biennial session held recently at Indianapolis, twenty-six grand lodges were represented and 3,320 subordinate lodges, and that the order now boasts of having 126,-535 members in good standing. The Pythians own property valued at $1,500,000. The amount of endowment collected by the order has been $1,010,263.74 and $849,-478.41 has been paid out of endowment. There has been expended for sickness, $236,539.07, and $101,945,14 for burial. In the Grand Lodge treasury is $42,835-55. The property owned by the Supreme Lodge is located 3300 State street, Chicago, valued at $50,000, and the Pythian Temple Sanitarium, Hot Springs Ark., valued at $25,000. The property owned by the grand lodges is valued at $776,294.55. The order has lost by death within the past two years 2,931 members. There is a balance in the Supreme Lodge treasury of $46,000. At the session at Indianapolis, the Pythian Temple Commission decided to enter at once into the erection of a temple on the property in Chicago at an estimated cost of between $150,000 and $200,000. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. WESTERN. President Taft arrived in Denver on the morning of October 3, and after spending fifteen hours in that city departed for Cheyenne, Wyo. Gov. J. M. Carey of Wyoming was the principal speaker at a luncheon of the Denver chapter of the American Institute of Banking in Denver. Five hundred Italians living in San Francisco have notified the Italian consul that they are ready to return to their native land for military service. Acting without reference to the refineries at New York or San Francisco, Tacoma jobbers have reduced the price of all grades of sugar 70 cents a hundred pounds. Progress by the ocean-to-ocean aviators has not been so great during the week. So small has been the number of miles made by any that there seems little chance the big prize will be won. Gen. Irving Hale, whose record at West Point and in the Spanish-American war has made him nationally known, was stricken with apoplexy in the street of Denver and his condition is serious. Fire which broke out in a warehouse in Wichita, Kan., was not controlled until the property loss was $500,000 and two firemen and three spectators were reported buried under a fallen wall. William E. Dawson, his wife and one daughter were found dead in their beds in Monmouth, Ill., the skulls of each crushed in. Dawson was the caretaker of the First Presbyterian Church. United State Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin, probably has taken the witness stand in his own defense against charges that the corrupt use of money contributed to his election March 4, 1909. Moving pictures and their effects upon the lives of children were discussed at the session of the American Humane Association in San Francisco, and the convention went on record as favoring the strictest censoring of films displayed. A special from Wallace, Idaho, says three men were killed and eight injured on the Milwaukee logging railroad, twelve miles from Herrick, when the brake on the locomotive failed and the train ran wild through the derailing switch. President Taft presented a loving cup to President James C. McGill, and an automobile to Manager Jack Hendricks, of the Denver Baseball Club. The presentation was made at the Broadway park on behalf of the Denver fans. The Southern California conference of the Methodist Episcopal church adopted almost unanimously a resolution asking the general conference to strike from the discipline of the church the rule against card playing, theater going and dancing. Barney F. Lally, once private secretary to William McKinley, died at his home in Tulsa, Okla. Beginning on the day President McKinley was shot in Buffalo, Lally always wore a white carnation in his buttonhole in memory of the dead President. Fresh from his triumph, when he topped the Rocky Mountains in a sensational flight from Helena, Cromwell Dixon, the 19-year-old aviator, fell from a height of 100 feet in his initial performance at the Spokane Interstate fair grounds and was fatally mangled. The Public Lands convention in Denver was run according to program, but a considerable number of the delegates were dissatisfied with the methods employed, they say, to give control to Colorado. Some favored conservation and the government policy toward public lands. Some are opposed to this and want the public domain turned over to the several states. All resolutions were referred to a committee of ten men. FOREIGN. The British steamer Hatfield was in collision with the British steamer Glasgow and sunk. Twenty persons drowned. Italy's warships are before Tripoli and Italy's ultimatum is in the hands of the Turkish government. Only a few hours will elapse before Turkey must make her reply. From present appearances, the Turkish-Italian war promises to be the shortest and most bloodless war in history. Its distinguishing characteristic has been the absence of fighting, and, with Germany acting as peacemaker, it may end before fighting takes place. SPORT. WESTERN LEAGUE STANDING. CLUBS. Won. Lost.

In the closing game of the season in Wyoming between the Chenenne Indians and the James Brothers team of Cheyenne, the Indians won, 6 to 3. Although the winner of the National league penant has not been decided, the National Baseball commission will meet in Cincinnati to arrange for the world's series. The Johnson-Wells championship fight, scheduled for October 2, in London, Eng., has been abandoned by the principals and promoters, owing to the opposition of the authorities and a large element of the public. The Colorado College game with the School of Mines at Golden, has been postponed from October 14th, until November 18th, which arrangement will give the Mines more time to get into shape for the conference game. Howard Baker of Boulder, welterweight champion of Colorado, who recently knocked out Johnnie O'Keefe at Leadville, has accepted the challenge of Charles Pierson, the "New York fighting newsboy," for a match at 154 pounds. Battling Nelson, the former lightweight champion, failed in his "come back" efforts, when he ran against Young Saylor, a Tartar from Indianapolis, who gave him more than he had bargained for in their twelve-round engagement at the Armory A. A. in Boston. The clubhouse was packed and the crowd was not disappointed, for they witnessed the hardest fought battle seen in that city for some time. GENERAL. Two dead, two fatally shot and four less seriously wounded is the net result of a free-for-all fight at Oakdale, La. The American declaration of neutrality in the Italian-Turkish war only awaits the President's formal approval. As a result of the local option elections held over the state June 28, one hundred saloons in Utah have closed their doors. Miss Katherine Irving, a niece of Washington Irving, who for years resided with her uncle at Sunnyside, died at Litchfield, Conn. She was 63 years old. The Third regiment Mississippi National Guard has been ordered to McComb City, Miss., to suppress riots raging there as the result of the Illinois Central strike. Dr. Harry Elgin Webster of Oregon, Ill., who confessed to the killing of his wife, after a conference with his lawyers, has decided to repudiate the 10,000-word confession which he made in Chicago. While on his way down town, Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley dropped dead in New York. The admiral died before medical aid could reach him. He was a veteran of the Civil and Spanish-American wars. A carload of strike-breakers on their way to New Orleans over the Illinois Central were stroned by a mob as they passed through McComb, Miss. Windows were broken and several of the men were injured by broken glass. Bandits robbed the Bank of Noel, at Noel, Mo., after standing off a posse of 300 men, awakened by dynamite. Four robbers found shelter behind large rolls of wire. After securing $50,000 they fled to the woods and escaped. Transportation of mail across the continent by aeroplane, over a designated route, by special mail messenger appointed by Postmaster General Hitchcock, is a test that will be undertaken. The route is from New York to Los Angeles. No more men will be hired at present to fill the places of strikers on the Illinois Central road, according to a statement issued from the office of Vice President Park, in Chicago. Enough men are now at work to keep up light repairs indefinitely, it was said, and the manufacture of numerous locomotive and car specialties will be discontinued. The task of attempting to put an end to all initiative and referendum legislation in this country began in the Supreme Court of the United States in Washington when counsel for the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Company filed a brief attacking a taxing law of Oregon because it was enacted under the initiative clause of the state constitution, which is alleged to be in violation of the federal constitution. Official documents of the Southwestern Lumber Dealers' Association, which contain a virtual blacklist of retailers "not in sympathy with our asociation" were introduced as evidence in the hearing of the suit in St. Louis to oust the alleged lumber trust from Missouri. In order to fight the high cost of living the mayor of Indianapolis will have potatoes shipped in from Mishigan and sold to the people for 75 cents per bushel. Commission men have lowered the price to 90 cents per bushel. All Parts of the State Western Newspaper Union News Service. COMING EVENTS.

Denver,—The State Board of Equa- ration raised the assessments on cor- porate property in Colorado $1,728,000 over the amount on which levy was laid last year, the total value being placed at $60,000,000. The board met recently and made its decisions on all petitions for re- duction submitted to it. Only eight reductions were allowed out of twen- ty-five complaints. The Colorado Eastern Telephone and Telegraph Company's holdings were placed at $70,970. The June assessment was $76,870; in 1910 it was $25,150. The Colorado Postal Telegraph Cable Company is assessed at $168,140; in June it was valued at $178,140; the 1910 levy was $135,000. The June valuation on the Eagle Valley Telephone Company was $4,770, but the amount was lowered to $4,290. Last year's valuation was $3,750. The Garfield County Telephone Company is assessed at $11,840, al though the June estimate was $16,980. The assessment last year was on $3,990. The Beaver, Penrose & Northern railroad must pay taxes on $22,717—a reduction from $27,640, but an increase over $17,530 for last year. The board will sit to determine equalities between the counties of The board will sit to determine equalizations between the counties of the state. Federation of Women's Clubs. Denver.—The Woman's club, where the seventeenth annual convention of the State Federation of Women's Clubs held their opening meeting, was agog with indignant talk, for the women considered that they had been snubbed by the Chamber of Commerce when that body, who had permitted the President to speak at the Auditorium, the Denver University, to the Yale men at the Country Club, to citizens, to Republicans, to the baseball fans and to the railroad men, to the press men and yet when the President was asked to address for fifteen minutes a representative body of the most intelligent and prominent women in the state, the Chamber of Commerce curtly refused. The executive board of the State Federation met and passed an important resolution, asking that the State Federation co-operate with the Direct Legislation League and the State Federation of Labor to initiate an eight-hour law for women. The two named organizations have agreed to initiate such a law. Another resolution recommended by the board was presented by Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford and enthusiastically indorsed that the Federation go on record as favoring the great highway across the United States as a memorial to Lincoln. The number of delegates to the National Convention of Women's Clubs was discussed and it was recommended that they be more equally distributed throughout the state. Thus far Denver has been getting more than its share, having been allowed eleven, whereas the new plan will provide that the delegates be so apportioned that three be allotted to Denver and the rest be apportioned about the state. Mrs. Dewey C. Bailey, as its president, gave the greeting from the club of Denver and Mrs. Milo J. Evans responded for the Federation. Mrs. Wixson, who addressed the convention began by a reference to the senator who said that the government was fast becoming a government for the women, by the women and of the women. She made a reference to the recent land convention held here, and said that if an earnest conference were necessary to conserve the natural resources and highways, it is quite as necessary to come together to consider the conservation of human resources. "If forest ways, coal mines and broad acres are necessary to be conserved that future generations may prosper," she said, "how much more important to the preservation of the state is it that the intellectual wealth and power of the children be conserved." Mrs. Theodore H. Van Wagenen, state president of the Congress of Mothers, spoke of the new mother—that she was evolved from the spirit of cooperation and that it was the sympathies of the mother going out to her less fortunate sister, who could not think out her problems, that had resulted in the Mothers' Congress, where the mothers from various walks of life met in counsel together. Long Whistling Must Stop. Denver.—Whistling by locomotives, mills and shops is no longer in good form in Denver, the Fire and Police Board has decided. The board has announced that on Oct. 10 an ordinance regulating noises would be stringently enforced. Notices have been sent to railroad companies and factories using screechers that on and after that date no whistle can be blown for more than fifteen seconds within the city limits.

Elliott, of Denver, has filed direct information against Mrs. Gertrude Gibson Patterson, charging her with murdering her husband, Charles Patterson. Because he sat on a bench in the park with a woman not his wife, Alex Taws, chief of police of Colorado City, has lost his job. Mayor P. J. Hamble dismissed him from service. J. B. Baldwin, for the last six years one of the officials of the United States mint in Denver, died suddenly at his old home in Williamsport, Pa. Heart disease was the cause of death. Steps are being taken by the people of Cannon City to secure the proposed Colorado Odd Fellows home, to be located by the grand lodge of that organization at the 1911 session in Denver. United States Senator Cummins of Iowa, one of the leaders of the Progressive Republicans in Congress as well as among the people, will visit Denver and address a mass meeting October 12th.

Judge R. E. Lewis in the United States Circuit Court issued temporary injunctions restraining the county officials of Pueblo and El Paso counties from collecting the 1911 taxes assessed against the Santa Fe Railroad Company in those counties because of inequality of assessment. 1 WE HAVE THE BEST EQUIPPED OUTFIT IN THE WEST TO PRODUCE THE GOODS. shoe sole REPAIRING WHILE YOU WAIT CAMBERS 277 J.

Dubois not only gives a fine editorial on "The First Universal Congress" in this month's issue of The Crisis, but also writes a splendid account of the meeting in the same issue. Says The Crisis on the object of the meeting: "What after all was the object of assembling a congress of this character? To many people it seemed a visionary scheme; what practical outcome could there be? The executive committee stated the purpose of the congress succintly: 'The object of the congress will be to discuss, in the light of science and the modern conscience, the general relations subsisting between the peoples of the west and those of the east, between so-called white and so-called colored peoples, with a view to encouraging between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly, feelings, and a heartier co-operation.' Lord Weardale in his introduction to the volume of papers has enlarged upon this idea: 'To those who regard the furtherance of international good will and peace as the highest of all human interests, the occasion of the, first universal races congress opens a vista of almost boundless promise.' "No impartial student of history can deny that in the case of nearly all recorded wars, whatever the ostensible reasons assigned, the underlying cause of conflict has been the existence of race antipathies—using the word race in its broad and popular acceptance—which particular circumstances, often in themselves of trivial moment, have fanned into flame." The writer continued further with several other paragraphs and spoke of the personnel of the meeting and used extracts from papers read by seventeen of the most highly educated and scholarly men in attendance. We give a resume of one of the most important papers: "Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, United States.—The negroes number about ten millions in the United States. Most of them descend from former slaves. They live at the present time under a system of theoretical liberty, but it is restricted in practice by certain legal dispositions and by custom. They are well disposed toward family life, in so far as they are enabled to enjoy it, and to education. They have churches of their own. About two hundred thousand of them are farmers, and fifty thousand are engaged in commerce and the liberal professions. Seventy-five per cent of the negroes live in the south. One theory proposes that they should emancipate themselves by acquiring wealth, but it would seem that intellectual emancipation should proceed hand in hand with economic independence." Sir Harry Johnson, of England, stated that the physical difference from the white was merely a question of taste. He spoke highly of the negro's ability and his progress in various walks. Great good is hoped will be the result of such a meeting. Those connected with the gathering claim it will promote cordial relations among all divisions of mankind, void of color or prejudice. Let us hope that all races are better off by the meeting. The negro must recognize and appreciate the favors which come to him, and stand with the m:n, or men, who stand by him. All men in the white race are not enemies to the negro. There are thousands of persons of the Caucasian race who sincerely and genuinely wish us well, and when we find them we should show by our attitude that we appreciate their kindness. You should patronize the man in business who shows by his acts that he desires you to succeed, and return in every way you can the favors which the charitably disposed show you. "He that would have friends must show himself friendly."—Danville Torchlight. The masses do not know, nor even have an idea what the men whom they have put in front of the work, along the different lines, have to undergo. If they did they would be more considerate in their criticism of them. A great many of the people think that the men who are always on the road as representatives of the race are having a good time, but if those same people who have that idea were put on the road, or put in the lead for just one month, they would change their minds as to the good time that the leaders have.—Helena Interstate Reporter. There are a goodly number of negroes in town who should be on the farm; but they cannot go unless they are backed by the moneyed men of this city. Charleston merchants and business men have just begun in the last one or two years to put out their money. They are buying real estate and selling it out to negroes. This is indeed commendable on their part. The next step will be the farm, and we do not care how quickly it comes.—Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. It pays every Afro-American youth to have a reputation for being courteous, truthful, trustworthy, honest and reliable.—Cadiz Informer. Twenty-seven parishes in the state of Louisiana have more educable colored children than educable white children, according to the returns made to the department of education for the enumeration of 1911 by the assessors under the law. The names of the parishes and the number of educable children, colored and white, are as follows: 5,238 Baton Rouge, E. 3,450 5,238 Baton Rouge, W. 1,906 5,396 Booster 1,365 11,736 Caddo 6,180 3,926 Carroll, E. 290 1,651 Carroll, W. 972 6,087 Cattailou 1,709 4,902 Clalborne 2,764 4,476 Concordia 632 5,967 De Soto 5,82 2,541 Fellidaiana, E. 2,361 3,814 Fellidaiana, W. 513 5,707 Iberville 5,488 2,100 Madison 290 2,100 Morehouse 1,223 7,441 Natchitoches 6,176 4,107 Ouachita 3,881 2,242 Plaquemines 1,709 2,760 Pointe Coupe 2,616 2,586 Red River 2,061 3,136 Richland 1,284 1,629 St. Charles 1,022 1,877 St. James 1,183 2,420 St. John 1,763 6,146 St. Landry 6,776 6,413 St. Mary's 5,335 3,473 Webster 2,584 116,483 69,380 Pugilistic prophets are looking in vain for a "white hope" who shall develop strength enough to wrest the championship from black-brows. Of a recent tournament given to discover one of these "hopes" the following description is at least suggestive: Great white hope tournament No. 2 did not pan out as the promoters and fans had hoped. To the contrary, it was what might be termed a frost, and, compared with No. 1 show, was disappointing. Only six of the 21 entrants put in appearance and of these only one made a noise like a regular scraper. In the finals he lost his noodle and the decision at the same time, fouling his opponent before we could get a real good line on his ability. This idea of tournaments is a splendid one and if promoters do not develop frigid pedal extremities some of these days a heavyweight may show with sufficient skill and natural fighting ability to warrant some experienced person taking him in hand with the ultimate idea of holding him into such shape where an exchange of swats with Mr. Jack Johnson or his successor will be in order. The fact that a colored man reigns on the pugilistic throne makes it possible for these unknowns of little or no elastic capacity to show their wares to a critical public, and while in the majority of instances to date the quality of the goods has been punk fight followers should take heart in the thought that it is through perseverance and constant application that anything worth while is ever accomplished and hope some day tangible results will be the answer.—Dallas Express. The encouragement which the negro ministers have given, by timely word from their pulpits and in such publications as they control, to the business growth and expansion coincident with the organization of the National Negro Business league is creditable to them, as the moral leaders of the people, which it is a pleasure to acknowledge. The business education which the negro ministers have had in the upbuilding of their great church denominations and educational institutions has been more helpful, perhaps, than the business training received in negro fraternal and benevolent societies. The training has been of a character that could not have been gotten in any other way, as the business enterprises of the country were closed against the negro people, where such training is to be obtained—the practical training which, supplemented by that of the schools, has given the United States a pre-eminent position in the politics and commerce of the world. But it is a fair statement of the situation that the practical work which the negro ministers are called upon to do, as an object lesson to the people, has not so far been touched by them. The ministers should readily see that mere preachment no longer suffices as the work needed to be done by them. The parish and community work which has given the Catholic church so much power and enabled it to exercise such great influence over the masses, on this continent and in Europe, is due in the main to the fact that the poor and the wealthy, the laborer and the business man, have been regarded by the church as equally the beneficiaries of its influence for the promotion of the common good. It is the hope that the negro ministers will give more attention to the business growth and expansion of their membership in the future than in the past. They could do this to advantage from the purely selfish point of view, if for no other, as a well-to-do, a prosperous membership, is no more helpful, more to be desired, than an impoverished one. Let pulpit and press work together in the future as in the past to get the negro a more solid foundation in the good things of earth.—New York Age. At a recent international gathering of the Christian Endeavor society in Atlantic City, Booker Washington was unanimously elected to the position of trustee-at-large. The metion to elect him was made by a southern white man living in Nashville.—Southern Student. CHARLES S. WEST WEST Confectionery and Baur's Ice Cream Cafe in conection.

According to the space given in our principal newspapers in the East to the big and little show, the big and little comedians and the many little Jim Crow joints called shows or theaters, the "stage" is the most important feature of the progress which is claimed for the race in recent years. Burlesque of the ugliest characteristics of feature and habit have never served a race of people any good and lasting purpose, and we fail to see the reason for its strong attraction for the audiences which make these numerous departures possible. We are neglecting the higher and better side of artistic development in the rage for mad fun over things entirely unreal and unnatural, and our best papers are helping us to run backward along these ill-advised lines, because those who do not know or care for what is good and elevating are willing to pay something to see their nonsense in print. One good, decent theater in a town presenting only credible acts would be worth more than a score of the dingy joints and a hundred of the burly "actors," such as are establishing Negro theatrical circuits over the country. Our good people ought to take a bigger hand in the control of representative enterprises connected with the stage and the theater. competuosity and inexcusable. In Tripoli in northern Africa, Irish dependency, its inhabitants, being Mohammedan national character of the ruling other portions of northern Africa, Tripoli has offered a friendly like Italy to get a food long had her eye on the centre, who have schemed and authority.

Irise, but of apparently insider many ugly scars and wound suffering subjects to forget. With characteristic impetuosity and inexcusable haste, Italy has forced Turkey into a war over Tripoli in northern Africa. The country has long been practically a Turkish dependency, its inhabitants, comprising a mixture of Arabs and Ethiopians, being Mohammedans and otherwise in close harmony with the national character of the ruling people of the Turkish empire. But with the other portions of northern Africa subdued and monopolized by England and France, Tripoli has offered a single opportunity for a lagging European monarchy like Italy to get a foothold on the neighboring continent. So Italy has long had her eye on the capital city of Tripoli and has planted colonists there, who have schemed and intrigued with the object of increasing Italian authority. The demands of Italy have gradually taken shape until it finally became evident that she designed to make at least the principal city an acknowledged gateway for Italian colonization and trade. Measured by the European standard, the rule of the Turks has been lax and non-progressive, but it is undoubtedly preferable to the native population. Nevertheless, like other European nations have done in other parts of Africa, Italy conceived the right to assert her sway and finally demanded the recognition of her supremacy in the port of Tripoli by the Turkish government. Not obtaining ready acquiescence, she sent a fleet of warships to blockade the port, with orders to bombard the town and drive out the Turkish garrison stationed there, if Turkey did not accede to her demands before the expiration of a final twenty-four hours notice. It is alleged that the Italians did not wait for the twenty-four hours to expire before seizing a Turkish ship engaged in landing supplies for the garrison, and thereupon started a general campaign against Turkey's naval force in the Mediterranean Sea and the straits leading to Constantinople. The Turkish government, though seeking to avoid war, has become quickly aroused to the necessity for a campaign of defense, and the intense religious fervor characteristic of all followers of Islam (is forcing the government to resist Italy's encroachments. The fanaticism of the Turk and of his Arabic and African allies makes him a dangerous foe in war, especially when the religion of the people is appealed to, and if other countries remain neutral, Italy is apt to find herself with a bigger job on her hands than she anticipated. The trouble long brewing in Morocco over French occupancy and German inter-meddling, the unrest in Egypt over British domination, and the natural discontent of other native African tribes over the usurpations of European powers, may all take on a new and dangerous aspect over this last attempt on the part of a presumptuous power to further assault and destroy their old and deeply founded religious faith. An imbroglio of this nature is one of the probabilities of the future, and the present crisis might easily mark its beginning. The policy of conquest prevalent all over Africa must reap its harvest some day, and the result may be a war too bloody and too costly to warrant the sacrifice which European arrogance will make necessary. In the politics of the world, strange things arise, but of apparently insignificant causes, because back of those causes are many ugly scars and wounds which cunning nature has not permitted her suffering subjects to forget. The president of a college near Boston tells me that he received today a letter, the writer of which, a graduate, asked for a second diploma. He said that he had been engaged but that he and the lady of his choice had a falling out. The lady showed her displeasure by tearing his diploma into bits. "I am afraid," said the president, "he will have to go through life minus his diploma, but with a certified copy."—Boston Record. --- The Rent Sheepskin. in the postoffice in the city of Denver.

Archaeological researches made at a spot some 20 miles from Kars, Russia, have brought to light a completely intact stone fortress of prehistoric date. The masonry of the primitively designed forts and bastions is somewhat roughly, but extremely well laid. Among the many and various objects found are quite a number of well-preserved figures of heathen gods, mostly in animal forms and in a kind of hard-baked potter's clay. TRIPOLI By MARY E. ALLEN, Boston HE educator whose domain is physical training recognizes that his special educational field, unlike any other, comprises two distinct factors—the resultant must be brain development and health. In no other division of education is the acquisition of health an essential feature. Indeed, no thought of health exists in connection with the ordinary phases of education. In deciding whether he will study the classics or the sciences, seldom does a student consider the question of health as influencing his decision. For this reason the general public looks upon physical training as chiefly the development of muscle quisition of health. Hence there is little clear perception of the real side of physical training, and public interest has centered on instead of on educational development. It is difficult to draw between the two, though no thoughtful educator can fail to see distinction is real. I advise that develops brain centers and brain control of nerve must be symmetrical in design and proceed from simple to complex training is educational. Exercise that has ont its ultimate use, recreation, competition, the ability to beat, belongs to the third division of physical training. The tendency of such exercise is asymmetry, one-sided development—over-development of one under-development of another. In our college faculties once grasp this throughout there would uncertainty in handling football and other games involving some few of the students, and greater justice in the treatment of directors and an understanding of the value of this work many. It is conduce to an increase in muscular control, to health and to position of various good qualities, but only within certain limits. One was expatiating on the great value of football in development, etc., a friend of mine remarked that she "would like to the self-sontrol gained on the football field would make a man unt with a crying baby at night." A question whether self-control gained in the field of competer restricting rules, in the eye of a criticising public, is a conwill serve in ordinary living, where one makes his own rules or about them. Athletics, within healthful limits, are most highly used, but they should be entirely separated from exercise in its real field. Games of all kinds would be included in educational training, but they would take a subordinate part and would be until the special development they are capable of giving is achieved. and the acquisition of health. Hence there is little clear perception of the educational side of physical training, and public interest has centered on athletics instead of on educational development. It is difficult to draw a clear line between the two, though no thoughtful educator can fail to see that the distinction is real. Exercise that develops brain centers and brain control of nerve-endings must be symmetrical in design and proceed from simple to complex. Such training is educational. Exercise that has ont its ultimate object fun, recreation, competition, the ability to beat, belongs to the play ground division of physical training. The tendency of such exercise is to induce asymmetry, one-sided development—over-development of one part and under-development of another. Could our college faculties once grasp this throughout there would be less uncertainty in handling football and other games involving comparatively few of the students, and greater justice in the treatment of gymnasium directors and an understanding of the value of this work with the many. Games conduce to an increase in muscular control, to health and to the acquisition of various good qualities, but only within certain limits. When some one was expatiating on the great value of football in developing self-control, etc., a friend of mine remarked that she "would like to know if the self-sontrol gained on the football field would make a man more patient with a crying baby at night." "Tis a question whether self-control gained in the field of competition, under restricting rules, in the eye of a criticising public, is a control that will serve in ordinary living, where one makes his own rules or lives without them. Athletics, within healthful limits, are most highly to be prized, but they should be entirely separated from exercise in its educational field. Games of all kinds would be included in educational progressive training, but they would take a subordinate part and would be used only until the special development they are capable of giving is The playground idea must be pushed if health and physical efficiency are to be incorporated in our children's lives, but what is done in the playground would certainly constitute very desultory education. Everybody who thinks realizes that the play element should be fostered—not only in children, but in grown-ups—from the kindergarten games, tops and marbles, hop-Scotch and tag to tennis, baseball, cricket, etc., for children of older growth. They are all in the same category—the recreational list—and are valuable, as they meet the individual need for recreation and fun. and in professional life, and they tell me that the gum chewing repulsive that it makes them often lose a valuable acquaintance less deal. man, no matter how smartly gowned, has no attraction for them; they see "her jaws working like a steam engine." ominent physician told me that his wife had to stand all the time in the car from the city, a distance of eight miles, because other would have been compelled to seat herself beside a woman or a was chewing gum, which was so sickening that she could not be a young man cousin at Yale university, and he will not make instance of a young woman who chews gum. and his companions formed a club, and there are now 150 in of young millionaires and lawyers and doctors, who have signed ever to marry a young woman, no matter how attractive she is, a gum in public. are sincere, as he told me that one cannot go in the best society life embarrasses one by chewing gum. in business and in professional life, and they tell me that the gum chewing habit is so repulsive that it makes them often lose a valuable acquaintance or a business deal. A woman, no matter how smartly gowned, has no attraction for them when once they see "her jaws working like a steam engine." A prominent physician told me that his wife had to stand all the way home in the car from the city, a distance of eight miles, because otherwise she would have been compelled to seat herself beside a woman or a girl who was chewing gum, which was so sickening that she could not endure it. I have a young man cousin at Yale university, and he will not make the acquaintance of a young woman who chews gum. He and his companions formed a club, and there are now 150 in this club of young millionaires and lawyers and doctors, who have signed pledges never to marry a young woman, no matter how attractive she is, who chews gum in public. They are sincere, as he told me that one cannot go in the best society if one's wife embarrasses one by chewing gum. to be done?

Athletics When Carried to Excess are Harmful I can tell many girls why they have missed their chance of marrying. While they may be good looking and may dress well, if they have that awful habit of gum chewing there is not one gentleman out of five hundred who will take one of them for a wife unless he is a habitual gum chewer himself. Why is it that women persist in gum chewing in public when it is, as we all know, a vulgar habit? If one must chew gum for indigestion one should do so in the privacy of one's room at home. I have talked to dozens of men, both In the near future everything will be done to benefit the greater part of the children attending our public schools, but what has been done to improve the present system for the benefit of the weak and nervous children that attend them? After the vacation these children will begin their tasks fairly well, but look at those children two months later, and still later when the school days are over. What is left? In many cases the child is a physical wreck or a complete ruin, in a few years ready for the asylum or even the cemetery. $15 SALE OF LADIE'S FALL SUITS We are going to sell the best Suits that can be had for the money, and make all alterations without extra charge.

The President's visit to Denver last Tuesday was characterized by a demonstration that made the nation's chief executive feel that the Queen City of the Plains was glad to greet him, and he expressed himself in most flattering terms of the warm welcome he received during his short stay in our midst. The spirit of Denver to greet distinguished guests has always been done in a manner that is never surpassed by any city in the Union, at least that is the reputation we have. The People's Sunday School Alliance held one of its old fashioned meetings Sunday afternoon, Dr. W. A. Jones presided. Rev. J. A. Thomas-Hazell, S. T. B., was the principal speaker. His subject was "The Negroes Contribution to the Worlds Civilization." Those who were not present missed a great treat. The Reverend was at his best and if there is one thing that he likes to speak about after the Scripture it is the Negroes former position, while the destinies of the world's civilization were being shaped. The Alliance gave an account of its stewardship as agent for the Harris appeal funds. The reports follow: The committee appointed to raise means to have the case of Harris appealed to the Supreme Court, beg leave to report that much credit should be given Attorney W. B. Townsend for the splendid service that he rendered in the matter.

The People's Sunday Alliance Agents Per W. A. JONES, M. D., Pres. R. J. VON DICKERSOHN, Sec. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Miss Bessie M. Garrison measured up to all expectations in her magnificent address last Sunday evening to a very appreciative and representative audience. Miss Garrison represents the work of the Woman's Home Missionary Society among the twenty colored conferences in Methodism. A handsome collection of $12.00 was given her for her work. She left this week for Colorado Springs, where she goes to address the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Colorado Annual Conference. Sunday is to be a high day at Scott's.

A new choir stand will be built to accommodate the excellent choir we now have. Mesdames Hicks, Rice, Lyles, Lutrelle and others are responsible for this splendid showing. Mrs. Lyles sank a sweet solo last Sunday evening to the delight of the large audience. Two new teachers were appointed by Superintendent Fred Brown last Sunday. The Rev. C. W.

It stopped my hair from falling out and breaking off and my hair is now as soft as it can be and is longer than if has been for a long time. My friends all want it.

A quaint paragraph appears in the will of Mrs. Julie Hall, of Brighton, England. At the reading of the will the other day it was found that she had bequeathed £100 to her coachman, provided he is in her service at her death, and "if I do not die through or from the effects of a carriage accident when he is the driver." New Idea in Judicial Lore New Idea in Judicial Lore: The suggestion of a French judge, who presided at a breach of promise suit, has aroused the interest of American men and women. The suggestion is that when young people become engaged an agreement to marry should be drawn up with a clause providing damages if it is broken. The Chivalrous Earl. Representative Henry of Texas, at a luncheon in Washington, inveighed eloquently and wittily against the Ameri can heiress who marries the foreign nobleman for his title. "But she gets the small end of it," said Representative Henry grimly. "Here's an example: There was a Texas girl with $20,000,000 who married an earl—we'll call him Lord Laclands. Well, this earl was notorious for speeding his motor cars. So they changed the law to fit his case. Afterward a man safe to him: 'Well, Laclands, what are you going to do, now that in all speeding offenses the owner of the car and not the chauffeur is to be arrested?' 'Do? asked Lord Laclands. 'Why, I'm going to put every motor I own in my wife's name.'" Easily Satisfied. There is a bachelor who says that all he should ask in a wife would be—a good temper, health, good understanding, agreeable physiognomy, figure, good complexion, domestic habits, resources of amusement, good spirits, conversational talents, elegant manners—money!

ENGRAVERS-PRINTERS OUR CUTS TAULKS DENVER, COLO --- President Taft Visits Denver ADDRESSES PUBLIC LANDS CONVENTION, REPUBLICAN LEADERS, GOES TO BALL GROUNDS AND MEETS SOCIETY LADIES. IN HIS ADDRESS HE DISAGREED WITH RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY LANDS CONVENTION REGARDING STATE CONTROL. Denver.—President Taft found an ideal Colorado day in Denver from the moment of his arrival at the Union depot at 8:50 in the morning until his departure at midnight for Wyoming. His day in town included a breakfast with the Yale Club at the Country Club, where he spoke briefly; a visit and a speech to the students of the University of Denver; an extemporaneous but a very important speech to the Public Lands Congress, and 10,000 people in the Auditorium; a luncheon at the home of Crawford Hill, where he met the leaders in society; a visit to the Baseball Park, where he presented a loving cup to Jimmy McGill, the owner, and an automobile to Jack Hendricks, manager, on behalf of fans of Denver; a visit to the Denver Press Club and a brief speech; an automobile tour to City Park, Congress Park and the Capitol Hill residence district on his way to Littleton, where he made a brief speech; to Fort Logan, where he informally and socially met the officers, and, abandoning the proposed trip to the foothills, to the Brown hotel, where he met the Republican leaders of the city, and at night a banquet in El Jebel temple, attended by 600, after which he left for the union depot to board his train for Cheyenne and the Pacific Coast. At no time was there an enthusiastic ovation given to Taft, with the exception of that at the Auditorium, for the reason that he was so rushed there was no time for a demonstration. The arrangements were such that there was no opportunity for an outburst of popular enthusiasm, especially because there was no parade. "You have rendered your verdict, but I disagree with you!" Very frankly, and unmistakably, President William Howard Taft took issue in his Auditorium speech with the resolutions of the Public Lands Convention. There was no attempt at evasion of the question which means so much to the West. Before 14,000 enthusiastic people who crowded the big building the President took up the challenge of the Public Lands Convention, almost before the ink had dried upon the paper whereon was printed the resolutions indorsing state control of natural resources. It was a kind and fatherly rebuke that the President administered, a typical Taft rebuke, but at the same time is was without doubt a spanking. "I am President of the whole country and what I am trying to do is to get you together—it is not talk, and it is not abuse, and it is not muck raking, and it is not anything but getting on, that counts," said the President, with the smile that takes away any sting there may be in his words, and the audience broke out into cheers and applause. "Much of the conservation talk has been hysterical, the word has been used as a fetish, but still it is wise on the whole." This is the tenor of the President's position. Extreme democracy marked the entire Auditorium program. There were no theatrical effects to touch the drama-loving hearts of untrammeled Western people. There were no bands to stir the blood of a patriotic citizenship. There were no military processes, nor "pomp and power," no imperialistic tendencies. Plain "Bill" Taft entered the Champa street door of the Auditorium accompanied by his secretary and a few secret service operatives. He walked down the aisle to the platform like an ordinary American citizen called upon to make an address. The great crowd that massed the lower floor of the hall, filled the balconies with color and clung to the walls, sent up a wild cheer as the well-known ponderous figure in black appeared. The cheering continued as the President mounted the platform and greeted those congregated there to do him honor, and when he ascended the rostrum people rose from their seats and waved handkerchiefs and hats at the head of the nation. When President Taft spoke he did so with that lucid consecutive well poised style that unfailingly stamps a man of long judicial training. The words simple, the sentences clear and the manner of delivery fitted his words with tailor-made precision. Secret Out at Last. "Why do you have those glass cases with the axe, hammer, crowbar and so forth on these cars?" asked a traveler. "Oh, those are put there in case any one wants a window open," replied the facetious man.—Red Hen. And Kitty Couldn't Open. "My husband is the most careless man on earth." "How now?" "He went away fishing and left the cat a supply of canned meat to subsist on."—Louisville Courier-Journal. There is no magnetism streaming from the man as is the case with certain other chief executives who might be mentioned, but there is plenty of wholesome, kindly attraction. He did not seek to startle his audience, but to argue with it. He was plain, deliberate in action, clear of thought. His very attitude appealed for calmness and that judicial consideration to which he so frequently refers. He spoke without the use of gestures or dramatic vocal climaxes. President Taft was introduced by Congressman Frank W. Mondell, Wyoming, chairman of the Public Lands Congress, as the "holder of the greatest executive office on earth." On the platform were: Former United States Senator Henry M. Teller, Gov. John F. Shafroth, former United States Senator T. M. Patterson, Congressmen A. W. Rucker and E. T. Taylor, J. Arthur Eddy, the members of the governor's staff in uniform and members of the committee on permanent organization of the Public Lands Congress. President Taft spoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman, Governor Shafroth, Ladies and Gentlemen, My Fellow Citizens of Colorado and Many Other Western States: "It is a great privilege to be here in the presence of this magnificent audience. "This, I understand to be a meeting of the Public Lands convention and I assume that you desire to hear me on the subject that title indicates. "For several years there has come over the country, urged on by scientific statisticians, a desire to take stock of our national resources and they have been able to state a good many things that have given the whole country alarm lest those resources were either being exhausted or were coming under the control of monopolistic combinations that did not, in the opinion of the public, work for the ultimate good of the public. "For a time it seemed that if anyone wished to understand the severest rules with respect to conservation, he was inspired either by the devil or by corporations. "Now I think that that attitude of public sensitiveness in respect to conservation, in which the very word became a fetish, was but very little understood, and that we are prepared, throughout the country, to settle down to a calm consideration of what ought to be done in the preservation of our natural and national resources. "While I recognize the extremes to which advocates of conservation have gone, nevertheless you must admit that mistakes were made in the early days of this republic and that corporations and others did acquire an undue proportion of the natural resources of the country and that it would be wise, for us, in the future, to take such a course that there may be a public control of the distribution of what remains of the natural resources, so that we shall not have so much concentration in the power and control of individuals and that, if we had taken the proper course, would still be under ultimate government or state control. "And while you have registered your verdict, from which, in many respects, I disagree, I, nevertheless do not despair of making an appeal to you to be reasonable and to view this thing from the standpoint not of a case settled, but of one in which there is to be an appeal to a higher court. We may kick—if I may use that Anglo-Saxon and colloquial, but very forcible expression, against the situation as it is but you are philosophers enough to know out here, as we do in the East, that if you kick against the pricks, it does not help. "Now, for instance, you say that you are utterly opposed to the leasing policy of coal lands and mineral. I want to make a distinction. There is no proposition, so far as I know, that there shall be any leasing of agricultural lands. "I have heard a good deal of discussion with reference to the ineffective and unjust operation of the rules of the Department of the Interior in the construction of the laws affecting the acquisition of title under our homestead laws. Now, with relation to that, if there is room for a remedy, I am quite sure that Congress and everybody else will be glad to adopt methods to secure such remedies. The Easiest Way.

Futile Arguments, ‘There was once an orator, Themis- tocles, and as he reasoned a Colonel Boanerges in the audience hurled a stone at the speaker.

Wherewithal shall their heads be clothed 1s among the simplest of the problems that confront the mother. Plain, strong and sim- ply trimmed hats of good felt are the proper choice for school, Noth ing more pretentious or less useful and durable {s worth a moment's con- sideration. The on!y trimming allew- able ts confined to bands with bow and ends of ribbon, or sashes of silk. Mothers should discourage the fad for going to school hatless. Besides the coarsening of the skin which re- sults from deep tan, and the difficulty of getting rid of a too-generous sprin- kling of brown freckles, the hair should be protected, and the habit of carefulness as to appearance instilled in the little girl. This does not mean hat she may never go bareheaded by any means, The mother will use her judgment in this matter, but it 4s rath- er dificult to make the journey to school batless and not arrive there Deep Flat Collars Are Strictly the Cor- rect Thing—Frills for Elbow Sleeves and Hem of Skirt. Today the deep flat collar of pleat: ed lawn, with a simple hemstitebed or Sealloped edge. of a size that re- calls the frills worn in our greatgrand: mother’s girlhood days, with turned- back cufis on the elbow sleeves to match, are decidedly la mode. ‘Those who are fortunate enough to possess real old collars of exquisitely mbroldered lawn and muslin which date from the time of the revolution ire producing them with pride and are greatly envied. for these wonderful old examples of needlework are in ex- traordinary demané, Usually they are of exquisitely tine embroidery or cobwebby lace, mellow: ed with age, yet strong enough to give good service for a long time to come, it carefully handled, A charming revival of a somewhat ‘ater period Is the fichu, of finest, soft- est muslin edged with little frills, which Marle Antoinette made famous. Nothing ts so wonderfully becoming to both old and young as these fichus of soft, snowy muslin. ‘The reflection they throw on the face and throat of the wearer !5 deliciously becoming. ‘The frilled fichu 1s accompanied by frills to match at the elbow sleeves and, when possible, with frills on the ‘em of the skirt, On fine lawn or batiste dresses either the Marfe Antoinette frills or fichus are the style of the moment for a fin- ish to the bodice. The Newest Tea Gowns. The tea gown is practical to wear at home in the afternoon or evening, and will save the street gown and the more elaborate evening gown. ‘The lines of the best tea gowns are long and loose, but at the same time a tea gown should not be shapeless. A long coat sffect 1s good, provided that the gown itself over which tho coat 1s worn has a belt or girdle. Mhis should be placed high up under the arms to give the em- pire effect. There should not be much fullness if the material 18 on the or- der of voile or net. The soft finished satin gown to be worn under a lace oat should fit, or, rather, should be 80 out as to indicate the lines of the fig: wre—Harper’s Bazar. Reveal Dainty Footwear. Ultra-fashionables at places where the richest costumes appear show the whole foot and ankle as they walk. It seems as though the bootmaker and hosiery manufacturers woutd have to cerurn to almpler styles themselves before the liking for short skirts de- creases. Footwear {s dainty and pret- ty as It has seldom ever been before, and the short skirts are a frank recog- aition of it. Wasnt ue (Nodular. Cutaways are popular, and there is a great variety of them.

Now, of all things that will be use ful to the girl in later Ife, a regard to the neatness of her hairdress, will be most important, when !1 comes to matters of personal appearance ‘The trousled heads of infancy and litue girlhood are forgotten tn the beauty of childhood, but only neatness is tol- erable tn later years. ‘The pretty fashion of walking out tn the early evening, for pleasant saunterings to nowhere in particular, furnish all the opportunity needed tor the bare-headed brigade. When children have a playground sheltered by trees, they may romp hatless to their heart's content. Hut on the dusty road, to and from school, and especially in the dust-laden air of the city streets, the head should be protected. It Is a matter of clean- liness there, saving the hair from tne necessity of too much washing. A fairly good quality of felt should be selected for every day wear, and the fact never lost sight of that only the simptest decorations are permis- sible. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
