C., Nov. 28. Criticism of alleged discrimination toward Indians at the expense of colored citizens is made part of the annual report of Howard University, forwarded to the Secretary of the Interior by President Thirkield. He pointed out that for the 250,000 Indians in the United States the government last year spent $1,430,000, while for the 10,000,000 colored persons only $100,000 was appropriated. "Yet colored teachers in the common and high school," the report continues, "are expected to meet the requirements of the State authorities. To practice medicine the colored man is required to pass the same examination before State boards as the white physicians. So also in other professions and pursuits provision must be made for these 10,000,000 of our colored citizens, else it will mean the blind leading the blind and both falling into the ditch at great cost to society and the State." In order to further emphasize the greater need of aid from the government, Dr. Thirkield, in his report says: "While the Rockefeller fund of a million dollars is available for the eradication of the hookworm disease, yet there is the Negro race with tuberculosis, typhoid infections and other diseases wiping out tens of thousands and lowering the vitality and physical efficiency of a race. "At the same time," he continues "their condition is a positive menace to the white race, with which it is so closely bound up. It is a question of national interest. Here is a race, multitudes of whom are still the prey of the voodoo doctors and conjure men and given to patent nostrums. The pressing need is for the training of men for the instruction of the ignorant and superstitious, men with scientific knowledge and broad views of medicine, men who can put medicine knowledge in simple form before the masses and through preventive medicine raise the vitality of a race that is being decimated by disease." Dr. Thirkield adds that the great need of the colored men today is more practical study in matters of agriculture. Nearly 85 per ```markdown ``` cent of the population of 10,000,000, he says, are engaged in agricultural pursuits. Yet there is not a single school for colored persons in the United States where agriculture is a specialty. The report shows that 1,672 students attended Howard University during last year, coming from thirty-seven States and eleven foreign countries. TRUE REFORMERS ES CAPE RECEIVERSHIP We are pleased to note that the True Reformers organization is not fated for a receivership. The organization has made a tremendous struggle to maintain its integrity. The great body of its members has been deceived by a few head officials, who either were too stupid to understand statistics as they apply to insurance companies or else they wilfully appropriated the funds to their use. In either case they are inexcusable and deserve the wrath of the law that seeks to overtake them. The good intentions of the organization are easily seen through the efforts to live. It has proven worthy of living through the efforts. It is very fortunate that the State authorities and those of the judiciary of Virginia looked at the affairs of the institution with a degree of unusual leniency. Had they done otherwise, had they done what was in their power to do or what the enemies of the organization cared to have done, the receiver would have been appointed, and without doubt the affairs would have been wound up. The motives of the institution are praiseworthy, and while at times vaulting in ambition, never departed from the lines of industrialism, having in mind the betterment of the masses. Designing men or stupid men got in the fore of the concern. They took great salariees——too great for an institution of its character. Features were introduced, and while all right as features, they fell to the management of incompetent men and dishonest men. The order was not able to exert that fine supervis DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9 1911.

And thus a splendidly conceived order went from bad to worse, until the day of exposure—the denouncement, to express it theatrically. The True Reformers organization can succeed as any other lodge, but it must be conducted on the same principles. There's nothing new under the sun. The proposition won't have to oe revised for lodges and insurance companies. There's no quick rich method to be discovered. The Richmond Grand Fountain will have to get wise to the fact, and govern itself according to evidence, they should have broken up. It was simply a case of mercy. The Freeman has always extended that feeling. And now, since there seems a chance to live, things should be said, strong things. The order has the same right to exist as any other, but not if it does differently. We congratulate them on their prospects, and hold out our hands to those big-hearted white men who know and understand. A little moral: There are sometimes touching points in the par allel existence of the two races.— The Freeman. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS Mr. R. Woodson and family of Billings, Montana, are new arrivals.

Rev. Dudley has just completed and caused to be published in this city a valuable book of 36 pages, entitled "The Soul of Man." The book is a worthy compilation of thought and study, and we recommend it to any one, who likes good literature and especially from our own race. We should encourage the author by hasily subscribing for his book of good intelligent thought, for it will benefit any one who reads it. Rev. J. Jackson Bellamy, former pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist church has just returned form a trip to Las Vegas. N. M. Nelston Whiteside, a bright lad of 17 years, has just arrived from Independence, Mo.

With the closing of the year finds this worthy organization growing in membership, it now has about one hundred members in good standing. The association has buried four members since its organization, and it is really doing more good in our community than any other organization, that has for its object the caring for its deceased members. The society has been in existence four years and is growing in popularity. WANTS TO BE SENT TO PEN TO PERFECT HIS INVENTION Savannah, Ga.—When the United States court convenes in Savannah the federal grand jury will be called upon to indict one of the most remarkable Negro criminals with which the government has ever had to deal. The man gave the postal authorities endless trouble. It has never been their lot to contend with a smoother Negro criminal. The prisoner is Lewis H. Wagner, alias Evan P. Harris, a South Carolina Negro. Harris is an exceptionally smart Negro and is well educated. He confessed that on a number of occasions he raised postal money orders, in one case making an order for 19 cents read $88.19. With every evidence of sincerity, Harris declares that he did not commit the crimes for the money he realized on his operations, but that he might break into the federal penitentiary, where he would have the facilities for perfecting an invention which has to do with compressed air. Whether the motive for Harris' crimes is correct or not, the Negro talks in a most convincing manner. He says he has been working on an invention, but has been unable to complete it for lack of facilities. Some one told RACE NEWS Mr. Julius Rosenwald, of the firm of Sears, Roebuck and Company, Chicago, has consented to become a trustee of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute of which Booker T. Washington is Principal. While the Follies of 1911 company was in Cincinnati, the dramatic critic of the Cincinnati Enquirer said in part: "If it were not for Bert Williams, the comedian of dark hue, who would have cared to sit through the whole evening? Williams ought to demand nineteenth of the salary, for he deserves it." Tuskegee, Ala., Nov. 28.—The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, of which Booker T. Washington is principal, has just received a legacy of $10,000 from the estate of the late Maria Blanchard of Philadelphia, Pa.

He will stop in Europe to make final banking arrangements. Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 6.—Two Negroes and one young negress were burned to death by a mob of white land tenants who object to the occupancy of land by Negroes, near Savannah, Tenn., yesterday according to meager reports received here today. The lynching is said to have occurred ten miles from Clifton Tenn. The three Negroes were traveling to a gin with a load of seed cotton. They were waylaid and tied to the wagon load cotton, it is said, and the mob after building a fire beneath the wagon, stood guard until the Negroes were cremated. Washington. Nov. 22.—The negotiations for floating a loan to rehabilitate the Republic of Liberia on the West Coast of Africa, are almost completed. The State Department has been advised that the Legislature of Liberia has ratified the loan ageeement made with an American banking syndicate. Reed Paige Clark, of New Hampshire, will be appointed general receiver of the Liberian customs. him, he says, about the variety of tools and assortment of machinery the government has in the federal prison in Atlanta, and he says he came to the conclusion that if he were a prisoner there he could let his inventive inclinations have full play. Harris will be given an opportunity of investigating the inside of the federal prison in Atlanta. The post office inspectors intend prosecuting him in both Georgia and South Carolina, Harris having operated in both states. In addition to being a clever money order crook, Harris is a sleight-of-hand performer and has a reputation in several Georgia counties where he has given exhibitions. He maintains an elaborate wardrobe and keeps trunks in several towns that he wants to visit. He is a lightning change artist. He has been known to appear in a post office wearing overalls and old cloths with dirt begrimed face and hands, and present a money order within ten minutes after a public appearance in the street, where he was dressed as a dude.

New York, Dec. 6.—George Jackson, a Pullman porter on the New York Central, returned to his home last night and tried to make up with his wife, with whom he had quarreled. "Get out of here," she cried. "You are no good, and I'm going to earn my own living after this, dressmaking." Jackson drew a revolver and as his wife ran screaming, he fired two shots into the back of her head. When she fell dead he fired into his own head and dropped dead across her body. FLORENCE COLO.

SAYS DERELICTS FROM CITY SLUMS ARE PRACTICALLY KEPT IN BONDAGE. Western Newspaper Union News Service, Washington. —Depicting conditions in the sugar beet fields of Colorado ap- preaching peonage, James Bodkin of Meade, Colo., told thé so-called “sugar trust” investigating committee of the House that city derelicts recruited from the slums, were kept practically in a state of bondage. Mr, Bodkin described a system of contract labor in the Colorado fields and detailed the hardships, he charged, were inflicted on working people recruited by the Great Western Sugar Company, He said that a man, his wife and several children, ranging from eight years upwards, would put in from ten to sixteen hours a day at “pack-breaking work,” which an Amer- ican would seorn to do. The committee took great interest in his description of the “slum labor.” Representative Raken of California, sought to show by the witness that the tariff levied in the name of Amer ican labor did not reach down to the Russians and Hindus who worked in the Colorado beet fields. “How much can @ woman earn in the tied?” asked Mr. Hinds. “{ don't know,” answered the wit- ness. “She is a better worker than the man—he’s generally the boss— the women and the children do the work.” Mr, Bodkin expressed as the belief of the committee of farmers, of which he is a member, that the sugar com- pany was not paying a fair price for beets. He said his crop paid him about $5.75 a ton. ‘The profit on an acre was small. He had asked the sugar company for a dollar more on the ton, and was refused. “if the tariff is of any benefit, the sugar company gets it,” said the wit- ness. Before W. P. Willett, New York sugar expert, left the witness stand, he described the sugar trade of Den- mark. He recommended the adoption of the Danish system of internal tax ation and encouragement of the beet sugar industry by the United States _ “We don’t hire the labor; the sugar growers do that. We buy their pro- duct and manufacture it; we have nothing to do .with employing labor ers to work in the sugar beet fields,” said Walter A. Dixon of the Great ‘Western Sugar Company, - “Of course, the growers make con tracts with their employes, but indi- vidual contracts, and if the laborer is married and has any children old enough to work, they go into the fields with him, ‘The laborers are of all classes, chiefly Hungarians. “{ don't know how long or how hard the growers work the men, be- cause it’s none of our business. They raise the beets and we buy them. The laborers seem satisfied and I have never seen any visible condition of peonage.” Morton David, humane officer of the State Bureau of Child and Animal Protection, says that he made an in: vestigation of the labor conditions in the beet fields around Greeley, La Salle and Windsor a week ago, ana found nothing to complain of. “The children of the Russian and German families are well cared for, haye good food, go to school, and I heard no complaints,” he said. “In fact, I found the children that work in the beet fields a happy and healthy lot of children, much better off than many children in the cities.” ™, ___ C Sais aed LEER, : | fgg NS Ben ee By a (is of ee OE By A eh oe » git ‘ Bk RAE Ye Nog Tike 2 ee) i I ee WO GL te ee ANGE SENN ae eet (Of Res, CS Ga penitent a trrere CH ay oe). | SPP es oe YAO, Dh APM wf DENVER'S PRIDE ‘The purity of Capitol Beer is demonstrated by its superior flavor and strength-giving qualities.

Stinson preached in the colored Presbyterian church, corner of Fort and Houston streets, in Atlanta. Among other things, he said: "If the high-class press and good people are to be believed, the negro is seeing dally the need of moral homes and school training and fully trusting in God, as our fathers and mothers did in other days. Our own safety largely depends on honorable employment of the youth. Our contribution to the communities' good and the negro's true elevation depends upon what is taught in the practical school house, the common-sense home and the purely moral church. These conditions can hardly be brought thoroughly into action without the proper class of men and women as leaders. Less can be said about race irregularities, and more about a good and useful life; for, say what you will, there is a large class of our people who are taking advantage of the bad things they ought to shun, and they are proving most damaging to our well being and future happiness. The church, in the past, has meant everything good to us when we were trained and had no better sense than to worship God honestly. But in these days of imitation, unscrupulous conduct and ornamental education and the subterfuge of race trouble, too large a class of us are seeking to shift the responsibility of developing the right kind of habits and life, and we are deceiving no one more than we are destroying ourselves. Sad to say, this child race of ours has too many morally bad leaders, whose highest interest is sham honors, filthy lucre and to play cheap politics; but all is coming out right in the end. The Lord knows how to deliver the Godly out of temptations and keep the wicked until the day of judgment to be punished." Do you take a negro newspaper? If not, why not? Negroes who never read negro newspapers are untrue to themselves and to the race. They see only one side of the race question, and lose interest in the race and in themselves. Reputable negro newspapers give the world the bright side, while most other journals paint a black picture. All negroes are not failures, neither are all negroes "black brutes." Some are men with souls, whose useful lives make brilliant pages, worthy to be read by any people. Suppose you subscribe to and read a negro paper, and thus get another side of the picture—The Negro Fortune Teller (Huntsville, Ala.) Booker Washington's message of hope gave the poor struggling negro of this state and of the country as for that, much inspiration at a time when it was distressingly needed and highly appreciated. And we wish to say further that the sentiment those messages contained has too 'deeply rooted and grounded itself in the hearts and hopes of the determined members of the race to ever be uprooted by those of the other race, who every now and then see the "nigger in the woodpile" and thereby seek to raise the false cry of social equality, and thus seek to turn friendly sentiment against us.-Western Star. It is generally a worthless, loudmouthed black loafer who is continually contending that the negro race never was anything, is now nothing, and never will amount to much. He is ignorant of the rise and fall of nations and races; consequently he can have no conception of the long stretch of years required for the development of a people. Every time it is our painful privilege to hear such self-discounting rot we wish it were possible for the leopard to change his spots. Such a human cipher would look so becoming with the appropriate complexion of a toad frog.—Southern Life Magazine. It has always been a mystery why apparently intelligent people, when at a concert or an entertainment of any high order, will laugh and talk while some singer or reader is trying to be heard. It is very ill-mannered and shows a lack of good breeding. If the entertainment is not to your liking, get up and go out, but do not disturb those who do enjoy it and have paid for just that privilege.—Chicago Defender. The longer I live, the more deeply am I convinced that that which makes the difference between one man and another—between the weak and powerful, the great and insignificant—is energy—invincible determination—a purpose once formed, and then death or victory. This quality will do anything that is to be done in the world; and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities will make one a man without it.—Buxton. Jack Johnson may meet Bombardier Wells in London, England, this fall. Hugh McIntosh is trying to get them together. "If Wells can keep away from Johnson for five rounds," said McIntosh, "he is sure to win, as I consider him one of the hardest hitting pugilists I have ever seen. He is a wonder and we will have him in shape to annex the title by next autumn or winter." Twenty-five million negroes in the new world. Great Scott! Who would have thought it? That number does not include the untold millions in Africa, mind you; but only those who "live, move and have their being" in the new world. According to Sir Harry Johnston, a very eminent and painstaking scholar, as stated in his most recent book, "The Negro in the New World," these 25,000,000 negroes are distributed as follows: Thirty thousand in the Dominion of Canada; 10,000,000 in the United States; 5,756,000 in the West Indies; 117,000 in Central America; 60,000 in Venezuela and Colombia; 225,000 in the Guinea; 8,300,000 in Brazil and 90,000 in the remainder of South America. How the thought that the 25,000,000 human beings in whose veins courses negro blood makes our heart leap and our mind speculate upon the destiny of this people.—Birmingham American. In a certain church a member was charged by another with a misdemeanor, and the minister requested that some member of the official board prefer a charge. Out of the nine members of the board not one felt inclined or would do so. The brother who had been charged with the misdemeanor happened also to be an official member of the same board; when he was advised of what was about to take place he challenged any member, pastor included, to prefer a charge, and if they did, he threatened to do the same against every member for the selfsame crime. Needless to say, the charge has never been preferrd, even unto this day. And why? Ask it of the winds.—Philadelphia Courant. The Chicago Daily Tribune thinks it plausible that Europe has decided to divide northern Africa, in view of German and French activity in Morocco and Algeria, and Italian activity in Tripoli, but questions if this can be done without the possible dismemberment of Turkey and a possible Pan-Islamic uprising. We do not think Europe, with the assistance of America, is ready to challenge as Christian powers the Islamic powers of Asia and Africa to a death struggle. The latter powers are by far, numerically, the stronger, and modern methods of warfare and equipment are the common property of all of them. A religious war is the most dangerous of wars. There has recently been installed in the public square down town an ice water fountain with this sign attached, "For White People Only." One would scarcely have thought that the first official act of the honorable commissioners of Mobile affecting the negroes would be an act of discrimination against the entire race. The negroes, like all other people of Mobile, looked forward to the commission form of government with the hope that conditions might be better for them along all lines and that much of the inconvenience and unnecessary restrictions, so far as he is concerned, might be done away with.—Mobile Press. The negroes in this country, chiefly at the south, have increased from four to ten millions. Of this number 40,000 own their own homes and 750,000 are farmers, owning 23,000 square miles of land. In the whole country they are assessed as owning $500,000,000 worth of property. Some towns in the south are inhabited solely by negroes. They have 445 banks in the United States, and in the south there are 30,000 negro teachers with an enrollment of 2,000,000 school children. Every negro in this country is proud of the above showing, and the better element of negroes has decided to become an important factor in the development of this south land.—Ex. Dr. Booker T. Washington's appearance in the Alabama case at the White House was that of a patriotic citizen of Alabama, a defender of the civic privileges of his race and a foe to the reactionary forces that would relegate the negro to the background. Dr. Washington is in no sense a politician. He gives his opinion of public matters when an expression can do good. He does his duty as a wide-awake American should. — Houston (Tex.) Freeman. More than passing interest will be taken in the announcement that Prof. J. A. Martin, for 15 years principal of the Jackson public schools, has been elected to the presidency of the Alcorn college, in Mississippi, succeeding Prof. L. J. Rowan, who has held the place since the last revolution, for revolutions at Alcorn are about as numerous as they are in Haiti. Prof. Martin is also president of the State Teachers' association.

THE bustle and bustle and quickening anticipation of the holiday season is already well under way. The shop and store windows are budding out in all their white and emerald glory, and the glitter and dazzle of the imitation snow flake are making Santa Claus' white beard look whiter and his red coat seem still more red. But the best holiday bargain seekers have long since learned that the one reliable index of special holiday bargains is the advertising page of their favorite newspaper, the one they read the most and which is found oftentest and longest in the hands of their families. What the advertising columns of The Colorado Statesman tell you about choice things to buy and the new and novel offerings of the holiday bargain counters will be perfectly reliable, and what is more, they will disclose to you the merchants and tradesmen who are offering the greatest inducements for your trade. We have always made it a point to put our readers in touch with the leaders of holiday traffic, for we are proud of the claim that none know better than we the exacting tastes of the people we serve. But it may be well understood that the listed bargains in the advertising columns are only hints of the splendid opportunities offered by our advertisers, whose complete lines of novelties and regulation triumphs cannot be adequately described in a limited space. Hints of the beauty and wealth of the holiday market are what our readers may look for in our advertiser's descriptions and announcements, and we are fully confident that our advertising hints to the wise will be thoroughly sufficient. The most liberal and progressive merchants and the most wide-awake tradesmen have long since learned the value of these columns as a means of reaching a desirable patronage, and for all those stores whose announcements appear herein throughout the coming season we bespeak that confident consideration and liberal patronage which we know our readers are prepared and ready to give. THE CENSUS the report of the director of the 19,828,294 Negroes in the United States out over the number reported ten yea than 10 per cent of the entire population is less than it was in the prece of increase of the white population of increase of whites also shows a, is not correctly carried out, for en-born parents are counted on the while the Negroes have no such at the rate of increase of the wh ACCORDING to the report of the director of the United States Census Bureau, there were 9,828,294 Negroes in the United States in 1910, an increase of 11.3 per cent over the number reported ten years ago. They constitute a little more than 10 per cent of the entire population of the country. The rate of increase is less than it was in the preceding ten years, and less than the rate of increase of the white population, exclusive of immigrants, but the rate of increase of whites also shows a falling off. But the comparison, evidently, is not correctly carried out, for the children born in this country of foreign-born parents are counted on the side of the natural increase of whites, while the Negroes have no such advantage. If there were some way to get at the rate of increase of the white population whose native purity is unbroken for one hundred or two hundred years back, as is that of the Negroes, it might be found that the American Negro would have the right to claim that he is about the only true American, after the Indian, now left in the United States. It is very doubtful that there are ten million white Americans whose paternal or maternal ancestry can be traced back over three hundred years of unbroken American family history. Considering all conditions, therefore, it is evident that the Negro stock shows greater native virility than does the Caucasian, for it must not be forgotten that the former has adapted himself to climatic conditions differing vastly from those of his native state, and to a large extent directly opposed to them. It is likewise evident that the theory that the Negro will die out as a factor in the American population will take a long time for its fulfillment. The complete assimilation and ethical and social conciliation of racial elements in America's complex population, including the Negro, is the only sure basis for the perpetuity of the government. The less logical theories advanced by hot-headed racial partisans are but chaff hurled in the face of the winds of Destiny. The figures of the census alone convey an unmistakable lesson to American statesmanship, and renew the reminder that the neglect or unnatural obstruction of any established element of the citizenship, and especially the Negro, must necessarily obstruct and injure the moral and social development of the nation. The obligation of the government of the United States to its Negro population is an unavoidable obligation, made so by those irrevocable laws of nature which men of greed always fail to consult, and soon or late, it must be paid. The Negro must come into his enjoyment of the wealth, the culture, the freedom and the opportunities and privileges of American life, along with the white American, share and share alike, in full payment of the implied obligation assumed with his adoption into the country, or America must weaken and destroy itself with self-repression and internal revulsion. The latter possibility, of course, is held to be improbable, and all wise men look for the day when justice will overcome prejudice and the domestic tranquility and social peace of the nation will be sealed so strong with the knowledge of mutual welfare that the United States will properly take her prophesied place as the world's melting pot of the races of men. Easy Task Labor of Cuban Cigar Maker Lessened BY EDWIN TARRISSE ORK in a Cuban cigar factory of the best class is agreeably spiced with entertainment and instruction. In such a factory not only does every cigar maker have plenty of light and air, a leather covered chair to sit on and the privilege of keeping on his hat while he works, but he is entertained meanwhile with novels and newspapers, song and discussion. The factory reader sits at the rear of the workroom, enchroned upon an elevated stand. He is paid from the private funds of the cigar makers, the cost to each man ranging from ten to fifteen cents a week. This covers the cost of the books, novels and newspapers, as well as a salary of $39, which is paid to the president of the reading committee to make up for the time he is supposed to lose from his work while engaged in counting votes or making the weekly collection. The readers earn from $40 to $60 a week, reading for a period of three or four hours a day. As a rule each factory has two readers, and newspapers are taken up in the morning and books or novels in the afternoon. The selection of the book or novel to be read is an interesting feature. It takes the character of a political election, each man voting for the book he wants. The president of the reading committee counts the votes and announces the winning book, which is forthwith bought and placed in its turn to be read. Those who cannot read or write are yet kept informed in this way upon public questions, and are able to discuss intelligently problems of national and municipal interest. They seem to be well informed on scientific and other matters. tI is frequently the case that the newspapers have editorials or articles which arouse the patriotic feelings of the men. Then the reading is stopped, voices are heard commenting on the subject treated, and their knife, or chaveta, is struck violently on the flat surface of their working table. This is their mode of applauding. Sometimes the national hymn and other popular airs are intoned, but singing is reserved for important occasions, such as the victory of a Cuban in a foreign country in some athletic contest, in a hard game wrung from some of the baseball teams which visit Havana each year. The excitement lasts, however, only a few minutes, work is at once resumed, and the only voice heard in the big room is that of the reader.

Public opinion, once thoroughly aroused and concentrated upon a definite object, will always sweep everything before it. It is not, then, a question of ability, it is a question of willingness on the part of public opinion. Will public opinion ever reach the point where it will compel uniform marriage and divorce laws?

It may seem to some of us that in the matter of divorce and remarriage conditions are already sufficiently malodorous to justify their correction without delay.

As soon as these conditions become "ripé" public opinion will turn its attention to them and will perform a drastic and thorough surgical operation.

To be sure, we hear a great deal these days about the tremendous power of the "interests," and how frequently that power is exerted in directions counter to the natural trend of public opinion. But when we attempt an analysis of the matter, it becomes apparent that the power of the "interests" is simply a power to mold public I am one of a family of eight.

We didn't need it. It is fear that rules, not love. Children are having their character ruined by too much allowance being made for their youth. The ten commandments are as applicable to human frailties today as they were when written. The crying question of the day is how to rear children.

January 11-12—Second Annual Good Roads Conference—Pueblo. Jan. 16-20—Seventh Annual National Western Stock Show, Denver. Watchman Dies In Flames. Steamboat Springs—Fire of unknown origin broke out in the saloon of the Moffat Coal Company at Phippsburg, four miles below Oak Creek, destroying the structure and causing the death of Patrick Lewis, night watchman. Lewis entered the building while the fire was raging, it is believed to recover valuables. Prominent Pioneer Dies. Florence.—James H. Pinkerton, aged 78, a pioneer and prominent several years ago, died here from Bright's disease. He came to Colorado in the spring of 1859 and a year later brought his family from Illinois over the plains in a prairie schooner. They took up their residence at Golden and later lived on the Big Thompson and Poudre rivers. Sheepmen Guard Flock. Craig.—Sheepmen of this section held a meeting here for the purpose of organizing a body guard for George Woolley, from whose flock 110 sheep were maliciously slaughtered recently. Woolley received 3,000 sheep from Denver, and to prevent further depredations by his enemies, a body guard of nearly 100 men assisted him in driving the sheep from Steamboat Springs to Craig. Standard Mill Closes. Colorado Springs.—As a result of the Standard plant of the United States Reduction and Refining Company closing down temporarily, a new roaster, to cost $20,000, will be installed by the Golden Cycle mill, which, in addition to its own output, will take care of the Standard mill contracts, beginning the first of the year. The Golden Cycle plant will output about 40,000 tons a month, and many of the men who will be thrown out of work at the Standard will find employment at the Golden Cycle. McCormick Gets One to Ten Years. McCormick Gets One to Ten Years. Glenwood Springs.—In district court Judge Shumate sentenced A. B. McCormick to one to ten years in the reformatory for having secured money under false pretenses. McCormick came to the Grand valley last summer with letters of highest recommendation from prominent Colorado men and other credentials and offered farmers stock in the Bankers' International Life Assurance Company of Denver. George Severs, a Carbondale farmer, purchased $1,000 worth of stock supposedly in that company, but when his certificate was delivered he found that it bore the seal of the Bankers' Fidelity & Securities Company, newly organized by McCormick. Colorado Birth Statistics. Denver.—There were 10,870 babies born in Colorado during the year ending September 30; thirty daily visits by the stork, with Denver having seven every day, Colorado Springs two a day and Pueblo one every other day. This is a birth rate of one baby to every eighty people in the state. Colorado Springs, with a population of 30,000, leads in the highest birth rate, having had 611 births in the year, or one to every fifty people, or 2 per cent of the population; while Pueblo, with a population of 44,395, had only 298 births during the year. Colorado Springs also has the distinction of leading the state in the number of twins, according to figures compiled by the state board of health. Favor Colorado National Park. Washington.—A number of letters have been received by the Department of the Interior recommending the establishment of a national park in portions of Grand, Jackson, Larimer and Boulder counties, Colorado. It is proposed to include in this reservation Estes Park, Long's peak, Grand lake and the caffions of Big Thompson river and its tributaries. The area of the proposed national park is about 600,000 acres, and the advocates of the creation of the park believe it is of a character totally different from any existing national park, and furthermore is much closer to the center of population than any of the present reservations. Secretary of the Interior Fisher has discussed the matter with J. Horace McFarland, president of the American Civic Association and other representatives of that organization, and it was the opinion of all who participated in the conference that before any action could be taken it would be necessary to have made a very careful examination of the area to be included in the proposed park. Colorado Sugar Growers Honored. Washington—To Colorado sugar beet growers is to be given the honor of furnishing the only testimony concerning the actual raising of sugar to the house committee which is investigating the sugar trust. Three men from northern Colorado, who are experts in beet culture, will appear before the Hardwick committee. They are James Bodkin of Mead, E. U. Combs of Fort Morgan and Albert Dakan of Longmont. Small Happenings Occurring Over the State Worth While. Western Newspaper Union News Service. The factory of the Great Western Sugar Company at Fort Collins has closed. Miss Lillian Strong of Trinidad was seriously burned by the explosion of gasoline. The Fort Lupton City Council has refused to accept the pumping plant recently erected in that city. Organized labor in Denver contributed approximately $8,000 to the defense fund for the McNamaras. Carpenters are at work in the Denver jail constructing stage and scenery for the annual Christmas minstrels. Frank Peduttia, coal miner, 40, was asphyxiated in the abandoned working of the Royal coal mine near Aguilar. Robert L. France of Denver has been appointed clerk in the new division of postal service located at Omaha. Louis Hanson, aged 98, and thought to be Pueblo county's oldest inhabitant, was found dead alone in his hut in Pueblo. More than half a thousand people attended the opening of St. Peter's Catholic church's eighth annual fair at Greeley. Land in Hudson has been purchased by representatives of the Burlington road on which to build homes for construction forces. William J. Knowles, son of Police Magistrate James Knowles of Ouray, was killed at Sisson, Cal., by being run over by a freight train. Governor Shafroth has issued the call for delegates to the second adnaul good roads conference to be held in Pueblo, January 11 and 12. The Pueblo Commerce Club has asked the county commissioners to contribute $300 for the State Agricultural college at Fort Collins. P. J. Lewis, 60 years old, whose home is in Denver, met death in Pittsburg, Colo., when the roof of a store fell, pinning him to the floor. The Western-league owners are pulling for a 154-game series to begin about the same time as last year and get out of the way before snow flies. On December 6 the Great Western Sugar Company paid out to farmers of Weld county $298,100, making a total of $1,132,892.77 for the season of 1912. O. E. Rink of Fort Lupton has entered his famous ox team for the horse show in Denver next month, and the steers will haul a float in the parade. All four banks of Fort Collins will contribute to the fund being raised for maintenance of the experimental department of the Agricultural college. In one of the most disastrous games played on the Meeker gridiron, Meeker lost the football championship of northwestern Colorado to Craig by a score of 6 to 5. A piece of steel that flew from a blacksmith's anvil pierced the right eye of L. P. Lawton, a young business man of Colorado Springs, and he may lose the optic. For permitting young men to drink beer in their restaurant at Colorado Springs three Chinamen were fined $100 and costs in police court, and the young men $10 each. With William G. Evans as president, the Northern Construction Company has been organized for the purpose of completing the Greeley-Poudre Irrigation district, embracing 125,000 acres. Operators in the northern Colorado coal fields met recently and passed resolutions condemning the Boulder county, district and state officials for failure to properly protect their employees in the mines. Lost in a blizzard on their honeymoon, near Meeker, John L. Hadden, an attorney of Cambridge, Mass., and his bride of three weeks battled for eight days against the rigors of zero weather and the terrors of insanity. Word from Chicago is to the effect that Tim O'Neill is to be matched with Jim Flynn of Pueblo. The match will be of great interest, as not only is Jim Flynn well known in Colorado, but O'Neill spent last winter in Denver. Graig peace officials who are searching for clews that might disclose the identity of those responsible for the death of 100 sheep in George Woolley's corral recently are of the opinion that five men took part in the actual slaughter, and that two stood guard on either side of the road to the entrance to the Woolley ranch. For a town of 1,500 people to be without a rural mail service during the 30 years of its life is an unusual situation. Meeker is the town, but will get its first rural route soon. Heretofore the ranchmen, with the exception of those living along the Meeker-Rifle and Meeker-Rangely stage lines, have had to come into town for their mail. Morgan county beet-growers have realized $725,000 from the two factories of the Great Western Sugar Company at Brush and Fort Morgan during the campaign just closing and 120,000 tons have been sliced, averaging a sugar content of 16.2 per cent. The tonnage per acre in the county shows several unusual instances of 22 tons while the average is slightly below 20. Isaac N.

BIG MISTAKES IN CLEANING Misguided Housewives Scrub and Clean and Then Spoil Work With Dirty Dish Towels. Undoubtedly there are women who will clean out the cracks in the back door steps with a wooden skewer and yet will wash dishes with a rag composed of many fragments and squeeze it out of the dishwater to lie in a wad until needed again. A physician once told a housewife that her kitchen floor should be wiped free of dust every day and thereafter she washed it with a generous amount of water, keeping it continually damp and a menace to health. A good many misguided housekeepers scrub and beat the beauty out of their household belongings and in fighting the dust germ after this manner, they substitute the continued dampness which is a fine culture for molds and mildews. They scour and wash utensils and set them to air, after the fashion of long age at isolated farm houses, not realizing that the air in town and city is laden with dust that includes much more than particles of Mother Earth. They sterilize fruit jars covers and then carefully wipe them with a dish towel thus adding more germs than were there before sterilizing. WHERE MEN COOKS EXCEL Their Methods Surpass Those of Most Women in Economy of I have had occasion to watch many men cooks and have often noted that their methods surpass those of most women cooks in economy of motion. This is apparent in cutting celery or rhubarb—a man's knives, by the way, are always sharp. A man lays on the board as many pieces as his knife will strike, and slices through them all in a twinkling. Men cooks have a deft way of chopping food. Anything not committed to the chopping machine (they never use a chopping tray), they place on their board, and holding the palm of the left hand lightly over the end of the blade, they work the knife like a lever. Pitchers are held in high esteem with them, too. Try mixing pancakes in a pitcher of the bellboy shape—one that an eggbeater fits in nicely. And how much easier to pour directly from this pitcher onto the griddle, instead of ladling the batter out of a bowl.—Good Housekeeping. German Coffee Cake. When making bread reserve a cup of sponge, and one cup of milk, previously boiled and cooled (or lukewarm water will do), add one-third cup sugar, salt-spoon of salt and one heaping teaspoon of either butter, cottolena or good clear drippings (beef, never mutton). Stir in enough flour to knead a good firm loaf, not too stiff; then roll out an inch thick; let it raise, and when light dot bits of butter over the surface and sprinkle generously a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. The addition of blanched almonds, chopped fine, is an improvement, and if you sprinkle a few drops of water or milk over the top the sugar will candy and taste better, at least to the children. Bake till a golden brown. You can also bake this in a loaf, adding raisins, or without raisins you can make zwlebach of it by cutting in slices and toasting in a slow oven. Rolled Oat Cakes. One cup of rolled oats, $1 \frac{1}{2}$ cups of white flour, one-half cup of light brown sugar, one-half cup of butter, one-third cup of sour milk, one-half teaspoon soda, one handful of raisins and dates chopped fine. Break the oat flakes up fine with the hands, add the flour sifted with the soda, rub or cut the butter in as for pie crust. At the beginning of operations put the sour milk and sugar together and when other work is done add these. Roll thin, sand with granulated sugar, then cut out. This will make three or four dozen cookies $1 \frac{1}{2}$ inches across. It makes a much easier dough to handle than one with egg, so can be rolled thin with ease. Apricot Taploca. Soak one cupful of fine taplaoca for two hours in sufficient cold water to cover. Drain, put into a double boiler with one-quarter of a cupful of sugar and the syrup drained from a can of apricots, adding boiling water sufficient to give three cupfuls of liquid. Add one-half of a teaspoonful of salt and cook until transparent. Cut each piece of apricot into three and put in layers in a pudding dish with the cooked taplaoca. Bake for half an hour in a moderate oven and serve with cream. Frying Veal. When frying veal, either steak or chops, first dip the meat in a little sweet milk. Then place in a frying pan containing hot butter or a mixture of hot butter and lard. Fry over a good fire and see the results. The milk causes the meat to brown beautifully and imparts to it a delicious flavor and unusual tenderness. Veal fried in this way browns quickly and the juice of the meat is retained, which is not the case when frying is continued for a long time. Watch Heat of Oven. A slow oven is one which will slightly yellow a piece of paper after three minutes.

WRIGHT, JR., AT BIG CONFERENCE OF CHARITIES IN BOSTON—PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION ACCOUNT FOR RELATIVE INEFFICIENCY—LABOR UNIONS' WORST FOES, BECAUSE IN THEM THE COLOR PREJUDICE IS MOST EFFECTIVE. Boston, Mass.—At the final section meeting of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections "The Negro in Industry" was the topic discussed at the "Standards of Living and Labor" section in Kingsley hall. The speakers were Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard university, Washington, and R. R. Wright of Philadelphia, Pa. The negroes have been workers in the north ever since the days of the first colonies, and through they never have been a great factor, except in the large cities, where 75 per cent. of the northern engroes now live, they form a great mass of domestic and personal workers. In Pennsylvania, for instance, where the greatest number of northern negroes live, 59.2 per cent. of the males and 92.7 per cent. of the females were in domestic and personal service in 1900. It is sometimes said that negroes do not work, but statistics show them to comprise a much larger percentage of workers than their percentage of population would warrant. Negroes were, for example, only 2.5 per cent. of the population of Pennsylvania, but were 3.3 per cent. of the workers. Negroes have made slow progress in the north, but this is due to two reasons—the low standard of efficiency among southern negroes, who have immigrated north, and the attitude of organized labor. Low efficiency might be overcome more quickly if the unions were more friendly. The result is, if the efficient negro would go up, it must be in opposition to the labor union. This, of course, tends to make the negro a strike-breaker, but I am sure, an unwilling strike-breaker. Outside of the miners' union and those of hod-carriers, the negro has but little chance. In Chicago, for example, the negroes in the building trades have made their way in spite of the unions. The same is true of the stockyards, where practically all the negro has gotten has been in opposition to the union. In Pittsburg, each step that the negro has made upward in the steel works, has been done as a strike-breaker. This is unfortunate. But to be fair, the trouble is not in unionism per se, but in the growing race prejudice which tends to make a farce of American democracy. Only unionism organizes its men and therefore their race prejudice has the force which organization always gives. But white non-union workmen strive as vigorously as union men to shut the negro out. The result of this is, that to get a foothold, the negro must work for a lower wage. This lowers the standard of living and tends to drag that of the white workman down. Still, under the condition, the negro worker is gradually growing in importance in the north, especially as waiter, porter, domestic, worker on the streets, in municipal construction work, and in the large industries needing a large unskilled force. In the steel works they are a distinct force, also in the mines. In skilled mechanical pursuits the number is growing gradually, each census showing an increase in northern cities. The immigration of large numbers of negroes to the north and their segregation in large groups in certain sections of our cities has given rise to negro business men and professional men. So that today, many of the largest churches, hospitals and stores are in the north, and a much larger percentage of negro business men and professional men are in the north than in the south, in spite of the difficulty the negro faces in the north of a higher standard of efficiency to reach, than he has in the south. While the industrial progress of the race has been great during the past 40 years—great enough to command the praise of the severest critic, yet the handicap of race prejudice cannot be overestimated. It is the greatest drawback of the negro, for it put before him a double standard—not merely efficiency, which he can reach, but also a standard of race which is impossible for him to reach, and which must discourage and demoralize him. SOMETHING A SENATOR NEVER DOES. Mr. Heyburn of Idaho sometimes has trouble in getting a large audience of his fellows when he speaks on the floor of the senate. One day last July he rose to make a speech and, seeing that there were only three men besides himself in their places, he moved to adjourn. This was prevented by the assembling of a quorum of senators who had been sitting in the cloakrooms. In beginning his delayed speech, he said: "I do not understand the conduct of senators. I have seen them under all phases. I have seen a senator leave this chamber when he should stay here to receive good advice. I have seen him leave this chamber when, by remaining, he could have given good advice. The only thing I never saw a senator do was to back out of the door in the middle of his own speech."—Popular Magazine.

THE first is a pretty simple dress for a girl of sixteen years; it is made in old rose cashmere, with collar, waist-band and cuffs of silk of the same color; the right front s cut in a point that wraps over the left, it is fastened by hooks and eyes and ornamented with silk-covered buttons and loops. The vest and undersleeves are of ivory piece lace. Materials required: 4 yards 46 inches wide, ½ yard silk 22 inches wide, 1 yard lace 18 inches wide. A dress for a tiny girl of four years is shown next; it is in spotted Jap silk. The top of bodice is finely tucked, the ends of the tucks being covered by lace insertion that gives the effect of a round yoke; the neck is also finished with insertion. The skirt is gathered below the waist-line, and the gathers are covered by an insertion-trimmed band; wider insertion finishes the foot. Materials required: 3 yards 36 inches wide, about 4 yards insertion. The third is a simple dress of printed delaine for girl of eight to ten years; the Magyar bodice is short-waisted at sides and is cut with a deep point both front and back, the points, square-cut neck and sleeves are trimmed with insertion. FASHION IN WRITING PAPER Long, Narrow Envelope in Which Folded Square Sheet Fits Is the Mode at Present. Practically all fashionable writing-paper is accompanied by long and narrow envelopes in which the folded square sheet fits. Styles in dies change with other fashions that govern correct writing-paper. The most popular monogram die today is circular in form, with the circle usually indicated by the shape of the letters. Another popular die is diamond-shaped, and is placed in the middle of a page at the top. Drop letters, too, especially in script type, retain their popularity, but are now made long, very narrow, and more decorative, with linked and interlaced letters. Indeed, interlaced letters are the rule in new dies, and the latest designs look like Egyptian hieroglyphics rather than any letters known to this continent and century.—Harper's Bazar. BIBS ARE PRETTILY SHAPED Accepted Form Has Been Proved to Be Capable of Many Dainty Transformations. Fashion does not admit of much latitude in the form of a bib, but it is the fancy now to vary the accepted form as much as possible, making triangular and pointed-shaped ends, and as new an outline as possible. One triangular style is prettily finished with three rows of narrow lace. The fine top piece is sewed to its thick lining beneath the second row of lace. Even rubber bibs have become attractive, and are thin and soft to the touch, with a finish on the outer side like a line weave of figured nainook. It is customary to baste these thin rubber bibs beneath fancy ones of thin material, although it is an open question whether rubber is a good thing to lay over a baby's chest.—Harper's Bazar. Shoes of Two Colors Shoes made of two colors are very fashionable both for evening and afternoon wear in Paris. The fronts and heels are made of one color, usually black patent leather or white kid. The vamp of the shoe which has straps like a sandal, matches the down in color and is usually of velvet. Shoes of this sort, with the vamp of purple velvet and purple stockings, are worn with black costumes. Higher Boots. Buttoned boots for walking are ighter this year than they ever were fore, and they will probably be down by their button length, as are long, short and medium gloves. A extra high shoes so more than the edge of the bodice and is turned up at the foot with a deep hem. Materials required: $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards 28 inches wide. Next is for a girl of the same age; it is carried out in plaid washing silk, made in pinafore style with strappings of plain silk. The front is laid in a wide box-plait the entire length. The under-slip is in muslin all-over embroidery, cut Magyar. Silk-covered buttons are sewn in the points of the straps and waistband. Materials required: $4\frac{1}{2}$ yards silk 22 inches wide, $\frac{1}{2}$ yard plain silk, 1 yard embroidery 18 inches wide for slip. In the last we have a simple white serge dress for a girl of ten to twelve years. The skirt has a panel back and front laid on in wide wrapped seams; folds of crosswise silk stand out each side of lower part of panels. The bodice is tucked in a line to give the effect of a continuation of the panel, and folds of the striped silk stand out over the shoulders, half-way down both front and back; a small piece of silk is let in at the front; it is arranged for the stripes to form points in center. Hat of dark blue straw, trimmed with ribbon. Materials required for the dress: $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards 46 inches wide, $\frac{3}{4}$ yard striped silk. This blouse, which is cut Magyar, is in pale mauve foulard dotted with a darker shade; the collar an cuffs are of Paisley patterned foulard of the same shade of mauve. The vest and collar-band are of tucked white ninon with frill of same down the front. Materials required: 1 $ \frac{1}{4} $ yards 42 inches wide, $ \frac{1}{2} $ yard Paisley pattern 24 inches wide, $ \frac{1}{2} $ yard ninon 40 inches wide. To Dress the Hair. Among the most artistic collures is one in which the hair is draped in an undulating fashion, so as to cover the ears. With this goes the wide silver fillet, which encircles the head, while at the back two or three soft curls droop carelessly from the band of silver. A fashion that finds favor with some women is the wearing of a head band of colored ribbon, embroidered with beads of all shades. Tiny wreaths of pink roses with pearl centers are favored by the young girl, and a plain ribbon band tied in a small bow at the side is very attractive and youthful. The College Girl's Blanket. Let the college girl who is to furnish her own blanket and desires the college monogram or letters on it, choose a blanket whose border is one of the college colors and then cut from broadcloth letters of the other color and appliqued them on the border. Or choose an all-white blanket and apply the letters in the college colors in either linen or silk. Sapphire Chains. Long, flat chains of sapphires are likely to be much in vogue during the autumn to harmonize with some of the tones of blue that will be used for dinner gowns expressed in velvet and satin.
