Washing New Seven Presidential Boom Headquarter for the Manly stand taken by A Washington, D. C., March 19. With seven Presidential booms headquartering in Washington verily all is not quiet along the Potomac. Not in decades has the country been so keenly interested in a Presidential contest so far in advance of election day. The humorous whimsical side of the stirring developments in the maelstrom of politics in the past few weeks has offered a most tempting opportunity to the satirist and cartoonist, as evidenced in the leading journals and magazines The ever active press agents have been busy exploiting the many homely virtues of their respective candidates. It has been elaborately and pathetically described how Gov. Harmon once led a prayer meeting; which event is counterbalanced by the touching example of another candidate addressing a congregation from a pulpit on Sunday morning; also we have the picture of Colonel Roosevelt amid the ardous task of editing and promoting a campaign finding time to display an example of civic virtue and good citizenship by serving in the capacity of a humble juror. Present indications are that the delegates elected to date are as follows: Taft 131, Roosevelt 13, and Cummins 2. Contests are reported in the first Georgia, the third Virginia, and the second and fifth Missouri, and the third Oklahoma districts. In one respect this year will be the most unique in our political annals. In at least 12 states this Spring the delegates to the National Conventions will be chosen at direct primaries by the voters of each party. In five states, Nebraska, Oregon, New Jersey, North Dakota, and Wisconsin the voters will express their choice for the Presidential candidates the delegates being bound by the choice of the majority. On all sides we hear words of commendation and praise of the manly stand taken by Attorney General Wickersham against the arbitrary action of the executive communitee of the American Bar Association in papers (white) of the New England States likewise express their unqualified condemnation of the committees action in very positive terms. --- The President has by proclamation prohibited the shipment of arms into Mexico having been so authorized by the Congress in the bill passed to end the traffic in arms with turbulent nations. It is thought that the enforcement of this order will contribute greatly to the discouragement of hostilities in that war distracted country. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. Mrs. C. H.

We wist to warn colored real estate purchasers of our city that we have been informed through reliable sources that there real estate agents in our city who are not honest, as shown by their past past record in real estate deals.

M. Patterson, the Hon. Simon Guggenheim. This paper is proud to note that every prediction that it made has been more than fulfilled, for the senator has made good. He is a broad minded man, with the interest of the people at heart. He has never failed to protect the interests of our state. Through him the state has received large sums for public buildings and other purposes; the onslaught of the destructive Democratic party on our beet sugar and mining industries is being resisted by him. It is to be regretted that the senator's private business is so urging that he has decided to retire from public life. If the signs are right, the people will see to it that at the primaries to be held this fall, he will be nominated to succeed himself, which would certainly be of great service to the state. It is nonsense for his enemies to expect the colored people to oppose the senator. The Colorado Statesman will do all it can to bring peace to our fold. We want a solid Republican delegation sent to the next Congress. At the state convention held at Colorado Springs last Wednesday, Senator Guggenheim was elected member of the national committee from Colorado and a delegate to the Republican national convention to be held in Chicago. Other delegates elected were: Thomas H. Devine, Pueblo; Jefferson B. Farr, Walsenburg; Crawford Hill, Denver; A. M. Stevenson, Denver; Irving Howbert, Colorado Springs; A.

Many donations have been made to the school by Paducahans and people elsewhere. 一 Valdosta, Ga., March, 9.—A colored preacher named Frazier of this city, has a coffin which he has no special use for, and is wandering if he will need it at all at an early day. He found it on his front porch with a note as follows: "We have no ill against you, but this neighborhood is not large enough for your institution, therefore you had better move." Frazier has recently acquired a large frame house on Gordon street in a thickly settled white portion of the town, and it is said that the neighbors there have seriously objected to the house being occupied by colored people and they object to a colored orphanage. He stored the coffin. Cambridge, Mass., March 20. The entertainment and closing exercises of the Webster evening school classes last Friday evening were largely attended.

The fight between the Banks and Redmond factions for control of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Mississippi came to an end last week when the courts decided in favor of the Banks' faction. The court held that the M. W. Stringer Grand Lodge was the only colored organization having the right to use the Masonic name in Mississippi, and that the affairs of Charles Banks as secretary and treasurer had been honestly and intelligently conducted. The fight for control of the Grand Lodge started some months ago at Holy Springs when the faction headed by Dr. S. D. Redman left the M. W. Stringer Grand Lodge and started a new organization. The Banks' faction got out an injunction against the new lodge, which has been made permanent. Asbury Park, N. J., March 6. The efforts of the new Democratic administration to do away with the Eureka Fire Company composed of Negro firemen, are being bitterly fought by the colored citizens of the well-known summer resort, and to date the Negroes have blocked every move of the Democratic Mayor and City Council to put the Negro fire company out of business. As the matter now stands the colored citizens secured an order from the Supreme Court ordering the Mayor and City Council to show cause why they should not be permanently enjoined from disbanding the colored fire company, and the case was called for trial March 20.

The Butte, Mont., miner's union of the Western Federation of Miners voted to take a referendum vote upon the question of striking. One life sacrificed for each million tons of coal produced, was the human toll exacted by the coal mining industry of Colorado of 1911. The ten millionaire packers charged with criminal responsibility for packing combine were found not guilty in Federal Court in Chicago.

The Interstate Commerce Commission decided that the proposed increase of 33 1-3 per cent in the transportation rate on "feeder" cattle and sheep made by all the western railroads was not justified. The commission expects the carriers to cancel the proposed advances by April 15. If they should fail to do so voluntarily, the commission will issue a preemptory order. Existing rates on "feeder" cattle are approximately 75 per cent of the rates on fat cattle. WASHINGTON. Representative Martin of Colorado has not introduced his smelter trust resolution, but says he will do it immediately. Supervising Architect J. Knox Taylor has informed Gen. George W. Cook that he would positively complete the new federal building in Denver by July 1, 1912 ready to be occupied.

This is the plan of the leaders of the Democratic House of Representatives with respect to the solution of the "Philippine problem." POLITICAL. State wide Republican primaries in New York, for delegates to the Republican National convention at Chicago resulted in the election of organization candidates in practically every district where there was a contest, according to unofficial returns, fairly complete in many instances, at a late hour.

Hutchinson, director of the eastern branch of the National Taft bureau. FOREIGN. The Mexican rebels after three days of fighting claim victory at Jimenez. There are many dead on both sides. Gen. Gonzales Salas, the federal leader, and late Mexican minister of war, is among the wounded. He resigned his portfolio to take the field. Conditions in Mexico seem to be steadily becoming worse, according to state department reports. Movements of rebel troops and bands in that vicinity have put the populace in a more pessimistic mood. In Puebla more federal garrisons have revolted. A fateful day in the history of British trade struggles came to a close with the passage through Parliament by a large majority of the bill establishing in legislation the principle of a minimum wage in the mining industry. The vote was 213 to 48. SPORT.

Six inmates of the Huron county, Ohio, infirmary are dead as a result of asphyxiation. Seven others were overcome but are recovering. After an absence of more than twelve years caribou have returned to the Maine woods and by 1917 it is expected that hunters will be able to secure them. As a result of the strike of the McKay stitchers at Lynn, Mass., who number only about 200, some 1,500 operatives affiliated with them in the joint council of the United Shoe Workers of America went out. Much anxiety is felt over the probability of floods in the Missouri river watershed. Railroads are expecting trouble. Dynamite, with which to break up possible ice gorges, has been distributed to various places. There is more snow on the ground than for many years at this season. With the brain of a new-born babe substituted for a portion of his own, William Buckner, a wealthy real estate broker and operator of Cincinnati is recovering from the rarest operation ever performed in the Johns Hopkins hospital at Baltimore. Buckner had for months been in a state of semi-coma. Consideration by union officers of a possible compromise in the wage demands of the miners in the bituminous coal fields of western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois resulted in a decision that when the conference with the operators is resumed the miners will adhere to their original demand for a 10 per cent increase and shorter working hours. Chicago is soon to have a hippodrome with a seating capacity of 6,100. It will be the largest auditorium used exclusively as a theater in America.

ART OF DRESSING WELL. A famous designer of women's gowns was asked what she thought was the secret of being well dressed. The answer: "Knowing what to leave off." If women digested this simple advice there would be fewer grotesque human fashion plates to rouse a laugh. Since the vogue of the tailor-made girl there are not so many caricatures in street attire. It is when she is in her festal war paint that many a woman shows ignorance. A host at a large dance said when leaving the receiving line: "Don't women own mirrors any more? No one who saw herself first would ever be seen in some of the costumes here tonight." It often seems to the onlooker that women must look in their glass with unseeing eyes. Otherwise they would lack courage to sally abroad. The fat woman, for instance, cannot realize how she looks or she would prune her taste for gay colors and broken lines, big figures and shiny fabrics, huge hats and picture effects. She would know enough to avoid all but studied simplicity. Here is a list of things to avoid: Motor bonnets, picture hats, ultra short skirts, girlish frocks and rakish angles for the woman of uncertain age. Such are for the young only. Dutch colors, French necks and nard lines for the girl with the scrawny throat; never a decollete gown for the woman whose neck has shriveled with age and lack of massage. Loud figures, crude colors, eccentric lines for a girl whose type is not ultra-refined. There are some women who can carry off the bizarre; most women, however, cease to look dylike. Hats to the ears or hair to the eyebrows by any one past her first flush of beauty, particularly if she is rotund of figure and square and short of face. The garb of the stage for the drawing room belle. She may look beautiful, but she does not look smart, and runs the risk of looking what she is not. The last freak of fashion for the girl who must hang on to her clothes. The one chance for the modest income is unobtrusive dressing that cannot be dated. High heels, frills and fluffs on the street and severe attire in the drawing room, where frills are in place. Anything that is too ultra for the community where it is to be worm. What goes without comment in the foyer of the Metropolitan opera house or on the avenues of our great cities scandalizes a small town. Overexaggeration, especially when it verges on lack of refinement. The too scant or too low cut or too transparent gown is bad form, though many well born and bred women offend in this way. Hair too much curled by the girl with raven locks—the kinks give an ordinary air; an overdressed head by all who aim at smartness and a disheveled head by anyone short of a beauty with wavy tresses. RENEWING USEFULNESS OF THE CARPET. Many a good carpet becomes shabby and worn looking without being actually old. The figures lose their brightness, and the grain is rough and unkempt looking. Here is a simple process by which the carpet or rug will once more look presentable and as good as new: Cut an ounce of yellow soap into small squares, and with them make a lather with a pint of clear boiling water. Add to this lather a quart of hot water to which has been added an ounce of borax. Place the mixture on the stove and bring to a boil. Remove it, set to cool, and when quite cold add one ounce each of alcohol and ammonia and half an ounce of glycerine. Wipe over only a small portion of the carpet at a time and rub vigorously with a clean flannel dipped into the mixture until, finally, all the spots are removed and the color revived. The result will be surprising, for the change and improvement are remarkable. Another good method is to shave half a pound of soap and boll it in a quart of water until dissolved, then add a gallon of hot water and one ounce of salts of tartar. Mix thoroughly. Use a stiff brush and scrub the carpet with the mixture, which should lather freely and clean the carpet without making it very damp. As you clean a breadth wipe it hard with a cloth wrung out of cold water. If there is much green in the carpet put a cup of vinegar in the cold water. This quantity will clean a large carpet, and the process is approved by those of long experience. A housekeeper who has tried the following method says this fluid is a success for cleaning a carpet: Put one cake of white soap, two tablespoons each of ammonia, borax and sal soda into a saucepan. Boll it until it is dissolved, then add soft water enough to make three gallons and let it come to a boil, and then set aside to cool. When cold apply to the carpet with a stiff brush, rinse the carpet with a cloth wet in cold water and wrung out partially dry. Before washing rugs lay them out straight and brush with a stiff, dry scrubbing brush. You will be surprised at the amount of dirt to come out in this way, which is much better than shaking or beating them. MAKING THE HOME BEAUTIFUL. While woman's domain is the home, as every one acknowledges, there is one part of her kingdom over which she holds no sway. This is the den. Here man comes into his element and usually enjoys the privilege of "fixing up" one room to suit his own taste. While no reflection is cast upon the masculine idea of beauty, still it must be admitted that the appearance of the usual den does not lead one to believe that his taste is altogether artistic. A den is usually a room in which a heterogeneous collection of furniture is to be found—furniture which would do duty nowhere else in the house. The men of the family seek comfort rather than beauty, and with this object in view bring together all their favorite tables and chairs, regardless of the fact that they may be artistically screaming against each other. Now, comfort, of course, is to be desired—it is the keynote of the den—but this does not mean that harmony need not exist in the same room. A few suggestions as to how both may be combined may not come amiss. In a room of this kind more elastic rules for furnishing are permitted than anywhere else in the house. The owner must be careful, however, not to go so far as to render the effect obnoxious to the eye. Take for instance, a den seen recently which was done in mission furniture with all sorts of Egyptian and East Indian draperies hung about the walls. Probably the owner, himself, realized that something was the matter with the room but did not know where the trouble lay. The mingling of styles so extreme as these is sure to bring about an inharmonious effect which will grate on the good taste of every beholder. Though there need be no fixed style preserved throughout the room, harmony should be preserved, nevertheless. In the den, as in the living room, in fact, in any room which is in use by every member of the family, there must be furniture suited to the taste of each one, but care should be exerted to keep everything in good taste. For instance, in the room mentioned above, the only change that need have been made, was in the draperies. If the hangings had been in Indian style, they would have harmonized with the mission furniture and at the same time have offered an opposing note of relief from the severity of this much used furniture. The old Navajo blankets make wonderful wall decorations and are quite as useful for rugs or sofa coverings. Then, the Indian element might have been continued to good effect in the knick-knacks. The woven blankets of the Moki Indians of Arizona and the Pueblo pottery, both make unique fittings for the mantelpiece or shelves. In one den a bad light had been cleverly overcome by a repapering and a slight change in decorations. A north light is always trying, and when a room with a northern exposure is papered in blue or dark brown the effect is most depressing. A change from the brown in which this room was done to a yellow brightened its aspect. The whole appearance was altered by painting the oak woodwork white, by blue pottery on the shelves and, by changing a dark carpet to warm rugs, repeating the room colors. An added touch of red was used besides.

Put one pound of lean beef through a meat chopper, add a level teaspoonful of salt, a dash of pepper and two tablespoonfuls of water. Mix thoroughly and form into a cake the size and shape of a porterhouse steak Put an iron pan on the stove and grease it; when hot put in the steak. Cook for a moment on one side, turn like a pancake and sear the other, then push it over a moderate fire or put in the oven to cook slowly for 15 minutes, turning once or twice. Transfer to a heated platter and baste with a little butter. ON NEGRO LEWIS LAWYERS KICK Wickersham Is Making Fight to Save His Assistant. LEWIS WAS ELECTED MEMBER OF BAR ASSOCIATION AND WICKERSHAM IS WORKING TO PREVENT EXPULSION OF THE NEGRO-CASE HAS BEEN REFERRED. Washington. — Attorney General Wickersham is seeking to prevent the American Bar association from ousting W. H. Lewis, his negro assistant, from membership. Lewis was elected about a year ago, but the executive committee of the association, when it met here January 4, passed a resolution rescinding the election. The bar association membership has been in turmoil ever since the election of Lewis, but the facts have just come to light through the fight the attorney general has undertaken on behalf of his assistant. Lewis was elected at a meeting of the executive committee between the annual meetings of 1910 and 1911, the election having been a perfunctory matter, as Lewis was indorsed by a majority or the local council of Massachusetts. It is said his application did not state that he was an assistant attorney general. His color was not the subject of inquiry. The membership committee was preparing to issue its year book for 1911-12 when a member of the committee sought information as to the identity of "W. H. Lewis of Boston," a new member. When it developed that Lewis was the negro assistant attorney general a storm of protest was heard, and the year book was held up. The case was referred to the executive committee which adopted a resolution at its January meeting rescinding the vote by which Lewis had been elected. At the time of the meeting here it was rumored that some such action was to be taken, but members of the committee denied it. Assistant Attorney General Lewis was questioned at the time, but he disclaimed having knowledge of an attempt to oust him. It is understood here the case has been referred to the general counsel of the association, which will meet in Milwaukee next August. This council is made up of one member from each state. Lewis placed his case in the hands of Mr. Wickersham, and he has written to all of the 4,700 members protesting that Lewis was legally elected, and that the executive committee was without warrant in rescinding the election. It is claimed that a negro was never before elected as a member of the bar association. Members seeking to bar Lewis from membership claim the association is social in character, and some have gone so far as to declare they will resign if negroes are admitted. 100 PER GENT. ILLITERATE AFRICAN MISSIONARY TELLS OF CONDITIONS IN DARK CONTINENT UNDER PORTUGUESE RULE — PORTUGUESE ALSO DENSELY IGNORANT. New York.—Miss Martha Drummer, missionary to Quessua, Melange, Angola, Africa, addressed a St. Mark's audience dressed in the costume of the progressive natives a few evenings ago. Miss Drummer read and sang in the native language. She then gave at length her experiences with the curious customs, ignorance and superstition of the people. Her work is with and for the natives of Africa, supervised by Bishop Hartsel of the M. E. church. Her field of labor is on the Portuguese possessions. Notwithstanding the fact that the Portuguese nation is more than seventy per cent. illiterate, it holds complete control over the natives, who are one hundred per cent. illiterate. The Portuguese hold Angola as a dumping ground for their criminal class. All the thieves, murderers and other objectionable citizens are exiled to Angola, where they are given free range with the native Africans as their prey. Thus, added to their burdens the missionary and the natives have this extra load of sin to bear. Miss Drummer told her story with earnestness and zeal. In some instances her stories were amusing; at other times they were heart-rending. She told of when she was leaving this country, six years ago, how an old colored woman, having heard that Africa was a dark country, brought her five little pieces of candle to light her way. This incident she wrote back to a lady who sent her one hundred dollars to help in the work. ARRAIGNED AS CHICKEN THIEF NEGRO PLEADS UNWRITTEN LAW Alton, Ill.-Gus Tucker, a negro name, who talks with a Spanish acelony, pleaded the unwritten law when called for trial before Circuit Judge Crow. He told the court he stole chickens from the negro who stole his wife and that he did not think he had done wrong. Judge Crow and the state's attorney changed the charge to petty larceny and Tucker was sentenced to jail. RACES MAY BE SEPARATED IN SLEEPING CARS BY LAW Atlanta, Ga.—"It seems that the legislature has taken action prohibiting white and colored passengers from riding together in the same cars, but permitting white and colored passengers to sleep together in the same cars. This has always struck me as anomalous." So wrote Judge James K. Hines, special attorney for the Georgia railroad commission, in an opinion recently rendered that body upon a complaint by John D. Walker, the well-known banker of Spata. It is not unlikely that Mr. Walker's complaint and the commission's investigation of it may lead to some more legislation or attempted legislation this summer upon the "jim crow" line. When Mr. Walker got on a train in Atlanta a few nights ago, bound for New York, he found difficulty in getting a berth. All he could get was an upper, while there were three negroes who got on the train in Atlanta who were supplied with lowers. Also there were some other white passengers who were unable to get lower berths. Mr. Walker was indignant, as were the other white passengers who failed to get berths. He did not wait to write; he telegraphed the railroad commission about it. He wanted to know if some action could not be taken to "stop such social equality privileges and objectionable practices." Members of the railroad commission puzzled over the matter and began to hunt up the law. They knew it was unlawful in Georgia for the railroads to transport white and negro passengers in the same day coaches. But how about sleeping cars? Surely, if the two races were not allowed to sit up together in a railroad coach, it could not be lawful for them to sleep in the same car? Finally, the matter was turned over to Judge Hines, with the request for an opinion. Did the commission have any authority in the matter? Could it deal with Mr. Walker's case? Judge Hines was asked to find out. He did. "In my opinion," wrote Judge Hines to the commission in reply, "the commission has no power and authority to remedy this situation. Mr. Walker will have to appeal to the legislature and congress. "The legislature of Georgia has passed a law requiring the railroads doing business in this state to furnish equal accommodations, in separate cars or compartments of cars, for white and colored passengers; but this law expressly provides that it shall not apply to sleeping cars." Here Judge Hines makes the above quoted comment upon a law which permits under cover of darkness, as it were, what is prohibited by daylight, and continued: "By another statute sleeping car companies and railroad companies operating sleeping cars in this state have the right to assign all passengers to seats and berths, and can separate the white and colored races in making said assignments, and the conductor and other employees on the train, to which said sleeping cars may be attached, shall not permit white and colored passengers to occupy the same compartment. This statute further provides that nothing therein contained shall be construed to compel sleeping car companies to carry colored persons in sleeping or parlor cars. Conductors have police power to enforce the provisions of this act. (Civil code sections 2724, 2725.) "As the statutes of this state expressly declare that the races cannot be segregated in sleeping cars, but they can only be assigned to separate berths or compartments, I do not think that the commission has the power and authority to make a rule or regulation separating the races in sleeping cars. "It is competent for the legislature of this state to pass a law requiring the separation of the two races in public conveyances in intrastate journeys; and such a law is not unconstitutional. "The legislature would hardly have authority to pass a statute regulating this subject in reference to interstate journeys. "The segregation of white and colored passengers on interstate journeys is a reasonable regulation of interstate traffic, and carriers can make and enforce such regulations under the act to regulate commerce. "The railroads of the south, if they see fit, could put into effect and force this regulation without legislation; and the commission might call their attention to the complaint filed by Mr. Walker." Judge Hines' opinion will prove an interesting one; it contains information not generally known. The impression has been gained probably from the law requiring separate day coaches for whites and negroes, that the same, or a similar, law governed sleeping cars. The legislature, if it should deal with it at all, could only make a regulation governing journeys wholly within the state. And since it is not likely that congress will pass an act separating the races in sleeping cars carrying interstate travel, it is a question, as Judge Hines says, that is up to the railroad companies.

"Tis not in mortals to command success, but we'll do more, Sempronius we'll deserve it."—Shakespeare. "All men who deserve success do not win it, for life is short and individuals may die before truth comes into its own. But great races of men are practically perpetual and their virtues are practically sure to win their deserved reward. Herein is the solution of race problems. All superficial calmming and raging and all meek supplicating and longing will avail nothing but the wasting of time and strength, for in the natural course of existence, the fittest survive and the weakest perish. DENVER STORES. As the time for spring openings draws near and the approach of Easter looms up, Denver stores take on a renaissance. Already these caravansaries of artistic dry goods, lace and feathers are dressing up in their most beautiful colors and showing evidence of new life and special activity. The spring styles and openings as seen in the advertisements of this paper display the latest designs in newest things ever seen in Denver. Each year surpasses the preceding ones and this year is no exception. We call the attention of our many readers and ask them to glance at the display ads in this paper and see if we do not put you in touch with the very best dealers in the city, in every department of up-to-date goods. It is a feast to the eyes and a pleasure to the aesthetic taste of connoisseurs to see this display of tastely things exhibited to the public. The Colorado Statesman is anxious that its readers get the best in the market at the most reasonable prices. Hence we advise you to patronize those who advertise with us as you will find it to your personal benefit. WHY WE COMPLAIN. It is not at all in a spirit of hostility that we repeatedly urge the Republican leaders of Denver county and of the state to pay more attention to the colored vote, nor does it give us any pleasure to point out the ill results of past neglect. It is decidedly distasteful to us to be compelled to harp upon this score, but we know the conditions that exist among the colored people and we have seen these conditions grow up, year by year, and our complaints are founded as largely upon our desire for party unity and party success as upon our wish to see the colored vote make natural progress in his political sphere. Progress is just as essential, just as natural and just as certain to the colored people as to any other element, and if it cannot be attained through a plain and natural course of development it is sure to find some way to demonstrate its resistless activity in every human rank. Restlessness among colored voters is the natural result of stinted privileges, for it is altogether unnatural for American citizens of any hue to remain content under actual conditions which do not measure up to those ideals which are the boast of free men. For a long time past the colored vote has been handled as if it were a mere inallenable adjunct to the Republican party, which required no consideration other than an eloquent reminder of its own history, to hold it loyal, in the main, to any candidate or principle that the party organization might endorse. This simple course has appeared successful, not because it was logical, but because other conditions have helped to support and maintain it. But the signs are abundant that it has run its full length, for despite the most earnest persuasion and the most solemn declarations of racial interest, we have seen our voters deserting our ranks and gaining more practical benefits from those that we have long considered our political enemies. The policies of war apply in politics and everything becomes fair to the opposing forces in close campaigns. We are not unmindful of our modest representation in minor political places, but the clamor for a more honorable standing in the party organization is in our ears, and we are merely trying to impress Republican managers with the logic of the claims and demands of that progressive element among the colored folk which is awakening to a rational realization of its material needs.

Public Library Should Contain Good Novels By SAM WALTER FOSS THE IDEAL attitude of the public library toward fiction should be one of severity, tempered by toleration. A public library should buy all the good novels and buy them in large numbers. The bad novels it should not buy at all. All a public library, then, has to do in the matter, in reference to any novel, is to discover whether it is good or bad. This is a very simple thing to state, but a well-nigh impossible thing to do. There are easy-going readers who think there is some good in all novels, and there are implacable haters of modern fiction who stiffly maintain that, at present, no good novels are written at all. From a committee made up of the implacables, the easy-goers and intermediate types of critics the public librarian should get varied estimates of all the novels published, and from these varied estimates draw his own conclusions. These conclusions will frequently be wrong, but he will have lived up to the best light he has. He will probably find some good novels. To deny that good novels are written today is to make a too sweeping impeachment of our literary output. Let the librarian do his best to find these good novels and then duplicate and reduplicate them many times. It is undoubtedly a misuse of one's time and a perversion of his intellectual faculties to read fiction, even of the best quality, exclusively. No one knows better than the librarian that there are a large number of readers who never do read anything but fiction. They have lost the power to wrestle with books that deal with realities. The fiction drunkard has lost the intellectual stamina needed to clutch and grip the great thinkers who write real books—science, philosophy, literature. Much fiction has made them mentally flabby—their mental muscles are paralyzed by intellectual dissipation. They are literary drunkards, and all good librarians have an interest in their reformation. Good fiction presupposes a considerable degree of intelligence in its readers. If it deals with the eternal verities of human nature it must make its readers interested in many and varied domains of thought. A good novel by a real thinker should stimulate its reader to broad investigations, and, sometimes, to long-continued research. It is hard for a librarian, even with the co-operation of many helpers, to select the small percentage of good fiction from the large percentage of the bad. His action, whatever it may be in the matter, will not be without vociferous protest on the part of the public. But let him do his best and abide in complacent good nature. Sam Nolton Foss Aside from all ethical reasons why capital punishment should be forever abolished I beg to mention a more potent one. I make my appeal now in the name of economy. Plan to Compel Criminals to Work By SARAH BLUEMENTHAL Compel Criminals to Work By SARAH BLUEMENTHAL We all know that in most cases the expense in the prosecution is in direct ratio to the financial rating of the accused, but even where four men are sentenced to be hanged within two months of the date of their crime there is a certain amount of money spent by the state. It seems hardly fair that the public should be taxed for this purpose needlessly. Again, there are many instances where the family of the murdered man become the charges of the public at large because the only bread winner has been taken from them. Where the convicted men are executed society is forever placed beyond the possibility of drawing upon the wrongdoers for the support of those who have suffered most keenly. The public is put at a double expense, the expense of the prosecution and the support of the sufferers. There should be indefinite imprisonment, first and foremost for the purpose of making good to society, to as high a degree as possible, for the harm done. The work done by the prisoners should be at a living wage so that the very source of the privation caused by crime should have an opportunity to make restitution. If once the principle is decided upon the method can easily be discovered. The school should furnish the training formerly furnished by the farm and the home, or the education of the child will be defective in the most important respects. Too Much Emphasis on Mere Learning By Prof. John M. Tyler, Amherst College Much Emphasis on Mere Learning By Prof. John M. Tyler, Amherst College It can no longer be merely or chiefly an institution of learning, as it could content itself to be a century ago. It must furnish training in skill and ingenuity, in planning and doing, as well as in learning and abstract thought. It must educate for efficiency and power. We have fine buildings, good equipment, but the system under which our teachers are working is antiquated. It must shift its emphasis from mere increase of learning—or memory—to increase of physical, mental and moral power and efficiency. Such a change will force its way here but slowly against the prejudices of parents and public, who would have even the baby devote himself to learning something "useful." Who comforts the wife murderer? Every day we read of some brutal murder and the next day we read of the notes of sympathy and the flowers sent to the murderer by tender-hearted women. Comforts for Men Charged With Murder By Agnes Hall Charged With Murder By Agnes Hall His trial drags on and on until he has been pitied by women from one end of America to the other and finally he is either an acquitted or convicted hero. Women's influence should be exercised to make a country-wide law that would execute a woman murderer as nearly instanter as would be compatible with justice and with no sympathy whatever shown him. A mighty few such convictions would have more effect than dozens of convictions under the present system, where the murderer is followed to court by dozens of women. Sewed Soles 60 cts. and 75 cts.

Von Dickersohn, Mrs Vernell, Ed Allison, Thos. Dickerson, and to the State convention: C. A. Franklin, Dr. P. E. Spratlin; Alternates, Mrs. P. George and E. Allison. Prof. Charles Alexander of Boston, Massachusetts, was a visitor in the city this week, en route to California, where he goes to arrange for a course of lectures to be given by Dr. James E. Shepard of Durham, N. C. Prof. Alexander is well known all over the country, having at one time published the Alexander Magazine of Boston. While in Chicago he was entertained at a banquet by the prominent business and professional men of the city. The State Convention having completed its task the voters can now --- turn their attention to our next primaries which will be held in the near future, to elect delegates to the City Convention. Mr. Dewey C. Bailey has announced himself a candidate for Mayor on the Rebublican ticket. He is well and favorably known, and if nominated would make an ideal Republican Mayor, the kind that Denver and every other city in the state needs. The Colorado Statesman will insist that every colored voter turn out and vote at this primary. Y. M. C. B. Fair, Carnival and Indoor Track Meet Tuesday and Wednesday Evening April 2 and 3, 1912.

The services of the past Sunday were an advance on those of the preceding Sunday in point of attendance and interest. At the morning service four infants and children received the sacrament of Holy Baptism, and the service was a fitting reminder to those who had previously received this sacrament of the vows and promises that were then made. The sermon of the priest, Father Brown, on "The Sinlessness of Jesus," was appropriately applied to the purity of infants, and the grace received at Holy Baptism. In the evening the Very Rev. Dean Hart of St. John's Cathedral gave a splendid exegesis of the text, "Gather Up the Fragments," and also practically applied the subject to present day needs. At both services the church was well filled. On Sunday next, Palm Sunday, there will be the blessing and distribution of palms. The sacrament of Holy Baptism will be again administered, to a class of adults. This will be the third class of candidates in the course of the month to receive this sacrament. This service will begin at 11 o'clock promptly. Candidates and their sponsors are requested to be in their places before the service begins. Immediately after the baptismal service there will be a choral celebration of the Holy Eucharist and a sermon by the priest on the subject of "Christ's Triumphal Entry Into Jerusalem." In the evening the Rev. Charles H. Marshall, rector of St. Barnabas' Church, will be the special preacher. Members are advised to come early to these services in order to secure their accustomed seats, for none will be reserved. The Sunday School scholars will meet on Wednesday and Friday afternoons at 4 o'clock to rehearse their Easter Day programme. Special Holy Week services will be held on Wednesday evening next. The devotional exercises will be "The Way of the Cross." On Good Friday, morning prayer and pre-communion service will be held at 10 o'clock.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS £06 NOES: OL NOW /EOFE, OF WHOM: there are now some 100,000 in the four Boroughs, have more public en- tertainments, more elaborate and ex- pensive, than those of any other city in the country. This is true because they make more money and save less and have more opportunities than the negroes of other cities. White, black and colored of New Yorkers are alike in the disposition to dress better, feed better and enjoy lfe more than any other people in the country. People who spend most. they make come upon trouble after a while and fall out, but in New York there are always others to fall in, so that there is never any gap. The so- ber-sides, and old fogies who watch the passing show and furnish the food and drink and clothing for {t gather in the dollars and keep them. They are the substantial negroes in every com- munity who do this, and they get more satisfaction and comfort out of gath- ering and saving the dollars their brethren spend than the spenders do. Indeed, it is more blessed to gather in and save than to scatter and spend. But those organizations of ours that give entertainments should sit down hard on the disposition to scan- dalous conduct which has made its ap- pearance at public receptions. These organizations have, in the main, a rep- utation for high and ennobling pur- poses to maintain, and they cannot af- ford to allow it to be lowered by con- duct of their patrons scandalous in character. A new generation have come upon the scene in New York, many of whom have a notion that loud, boisterous and vulgar conversa- tion, indelicately suggestive dress, dances in which the proprieties are whistled down the winds, and drink- ing to excess are the things most ap- proved to be done, and do them—the wives and daughters and sons should be protected from the extremes in these things that corrupt the mind and encourage extravagant spending in dress, drinking and eating. It fs to be regretted that the lessees and owners of dance halls and gardens retain the right to sell all the liquor and cigars and eatables they can, and do it, to make up the difference in the small rental demanded for the use of such halls and gardens. The lessees make the money on the bar and res- taurant privileges, and the organiza- tion scarcely covers expenses by the admission prices demanded. It is a fair deduction that 90 per cent. of the vast sums spent every week by negroes in public entertainments goes Into the pockets of the white lessees and owners of the halls and gardens who retain the bar and restau- rant privileges, and who often make @ scandalous condition in the effort to sell as much liquor as possible, and do it. There ts no apparent escape from this condition in New York ex- cept that our organizations pool their money and credit and purchase one great garden and one great hall of their own. Public entertainments that corrupt the morals of old and young alike, that put a premium upon intemper- ance, which lead to display of obscene talk and vulgar actions—such public entertainments are dangerous, Our older men and women should see this, if the younger do not, and do what they can to keep the moral standards high. We believe they desire to do so and will welcome any assistance we can give them in helping them to do 80 ‘The progress of a race is measured allke by things the race Is trying to do and by the things that it has ceased to do. Among the things that have fallen into discredit among us we may mention these: Begging mon- ey from the whites with which to bury @ negro. That used to be a rather common custom In small towns and villages, We know now that when- ever the whites have to be appealed to for funds with which to bury a ne- gro it 1s In the case of a negro who fs not worth burying, Another cus: tom now happily on the decline is that of solfciting ald from the whites to enable us to celebrate the 19th of June, Thoughtful negroes everywhere are beginning to feel that in a matter of this sort the negro should pay the piper or do withont the music, But what about another habit closely akin to these two and which in some quar- ters 1s as strong now among us? We mean the habit of begging and harass- ing the white man for funds with which to buid fine churches, Haven't we reached the point where the ne- gro should be content to worship in only such buildings as he ts able to erect himself and such as his limited means will justify? We know the negro does violence to his self-respect —to say nothing about what he does to God—by soliciting for funds to build churches which in no sense 1s an Indication of the sort of homes the race {s content to occupy. In the pas: of building costly churches we ave long ago exceeded the speed Hmit and in the method of getting ‘the funds together for that purpose we have often outraged common sense and ordinary decency and self- respect. A church should in a meas- ure be an index of the taste, comfort and well being to be found in the homes of the majority of Its wor- RET eeer a aie an aee ge eRe: | Sere ce Mee aes should do so by reason of being be- low the general average of such things. In ninety-nine casef out of a hundred the church with us ts a gro- tesque exaggeration. The deserving leader in these matters is the man who {s trying to get the race to come down to the earth. Generally we've been acting on the theory: First, get fine churches and everything else will be added. We've got to turn that rule around. Common setise, business sense, and the sense of self-respect all dictate this reversal—Dallas Express. ‘Those who have kept tab on Hous- ton's local affairs, especially as they apply to and affect the negro citizen- ship, know for a certainty that a brighter and better day is dawning. The negro is coming into his own, In this particular, they as a class are do- ing much for themselves, but as a matter of fact the changes that are being effected daily and which are bound to inure to the negro’s bet- terment are being rapidly facilitated by the daily press of the city, proml- nent among which is the Houston Post, which says: “We come now to the question of housing the negro people of Houston, and what we say of Houston is true of all the larger cities of the south. The great majority of negroes live in rented houses owned by white people. As a rule; these habitations are miser- able, filthy, insanitary shacks, locat- ed upon boggy streets. People who inhabit such places are subjected to stich conditions of living that disease, physical and moral, is Inevitable. The consideration of self-preserva- tion alone would suggest the crying necessity for better conditions. If such filthy quarters result in malig- nant diseases, the health of the white people of the community is always im- periled. Negroes are employed in al- most every well-todo white home In the southern cities, and their capacity to transmit disease is limited only by the conditions among which they live. If they are afforded decent surround- ings, they will have an incentive to cisanliness and self-respect that is oth- erwise impossible. This incentive must be afforded by their white land- lords. “A Houston building firm recently an- nounced that it would erect some mod- el cottages to be sold upon easy terms to negroes. ‘This is an example worthy emulation. The home-owning negro 1s a good citizen. Home-owner- ship makes a good citizen of the aver- age man ,white or black, But one thing is certain: ‘The public health of all southern cities will be greatly improved and the mortality rate ma: terlally reduced if far-reaching move- ments be Inaugurated to house the tenant negroes in clean and sanitary houses. They are going to be with us always, and {t 1s but common sense to encourage them in every pos sible way to become a helpful, intell!- gent, moral ‘and respectable influence in the communities in which they live. ‘This they can not do unless they have the constant sympathy and aid of their white fellow citizens. Governors and other leaders from several southern states recently con ferred in Baltimore on labor and in dustrial conditions in that section. ‘The reawakened south, {ndustrially and agriculturally expanding at a rate unknown since the Civil war, needs la bor. ‘There 1s insistent demand that European immigrants be steered to the south to supply this demand. ‘The negro is almost ignored in this demand for immigration. He is set ‘down as hopeless, trifling, futile, im posstble, But is it safe to rush to that conclusion? ‘Though the white population of the south 1s increasing more rapidly than the black, and though every decennial census makes {t more clear that there 1s no possible danger of the black, as once was feared, coming to predomi nate—despite all this, the fact remains that there are some 11,000,000 of col ored people in the country, and that they cannot be got rid of. There ‘stands the hard fact. “Tt may be that the negro is not so ‘desirable a worker in factory or fleld as the Immigrant; but if the immi grant takes his place, the negro will be left on the hands of society, de manding the means of livelihood, 1 menace to the community in greater and greater degree Just in proportion as the hopelessness of his condition {s made more apparent. If the south’s 11,000,000 negroes could be traded off for 11,000,000 of whites, that Would be a solution. But ‘they cannot be. The negroes are ‘there. ‘They must be provided for; ‘made as useful as possible; made to support themselves. "To make the most, the best, of tts negro workers 1s the first big duty of ‘the south, It is the most difficult problem before the nation. It cannot be solved by the effort to drive the negro out; he will not be driven out. He must be looked after, educated in the right way, given a chance to be self-respecting, encour- ‘aged to improve his condition.—Co- lumbia Magazine. No man who weeps at his misfortune can ever get to be a true philosopher. ENTIRE COUNTRY REJOICES OVER DESERVED PROMOTION OF EMMETT J, SCOTT ELECT- ED SECRETARY OF TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Washington, D. C.—There is general rejoicing throughout the country over the action of the board of trustees of ‘Tuskegee Institute in electing that faithful and experienced worker, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, as secretary of the school, in the upbuilding of which he has had so large a part. he place was created especially for him, and is a fitting recognition of his eminent and helpful services to the Institu- tion covering a period of 15 years. ‘The honor came wholly unsolicited, as far as Mr, Scott is concerned, and was, therefore, a complete surprise to him. Although he accepts the rare compliment paid him by the heads of the school, it {s understood that in as- suming the new dignity he will not consent to any suggestion that the re- lations he has long sustained as Dr. Washington's secretary shall be termi- nated. Consequently, it has been ar- ranged that Mr. Scott shall continue to serve the principal in the same ca- pacity as of yore, in addition to his duties as secretary to the schcol, Mr. Scott is a native of Houston, Texas, and is a leader in the field of journalism, as well as in the arena of education. He won his spurs.on the Houston Daily Post, and with ©. N. Love founded the Texas Freeman, the higher voice of the great southwest He 1s now editor of the Tuskegee Stu dent, a paper of wide circulation and vast influence in educational circles, and has just launched the Business League Herald, as the spokesman of the National Negro Business .League, of which he is corresponding secre- tary. Mr, Scott has declined several flattering offers to go into the federal service, but was induced by President ‘Taft to accept a place on the United States commission to adjust the dim- culties of the Liberian republic, and had the distinction of being the first colored man appointed by Mr. Taft after his inauguration in 1909, On this commission, in company with military and civil officers of high rank, Mr. Scott acquitted himself with marked credit, and is conceded to have been the foremost member of that unique body. It is felt by Mr. Scott's host of friends that in his enlarged sphere of activity, Mr. Scott will prove to be an even more potent factor than ever in the forward movements and exten- sion work of the famous Tuskegee In- stitute. He is in receipt of a heavy mail, bearing congratulations. BEAUTIES AMONG DESPISED RACES Paris.—lor the first time In many, many years a German book, Hans Heinz Ewers’ “India,” set all France talking, The great traveler makes the extraordinary statement that the most beautiful women in France and Ceylon come of a race formerly regarded as political and social partahs. ‘The Eng- lish have abolished the pariah taint in Ceylon, and the first French reyolu- tion removed {t from the Cahets or Cagotes in France, who, though Chris- tlans, were obliged to enter church by @ spectal door, had their own holy wa- ter fonts, etc, up to the downfall of French royalty, The Cahets live now in the tand- scapes of Gascogne, Gyuene, Bearn, Brittany and Maine. Their origin 1s unknown, but the name indicates that they may be descendants of the Goths, Cahet being a contraction of canis goticus—Goth-dog. For more than a thousand years the rest of France treated them as outcasts, and they are still so regarded socially in many of the rural districts. They are easily recognized by the missing ear-lob, a characterization Mkewise found in many Parisians. Maybe in olden times many stray Cahets, wishing to escape prosecution at home, emigrated to the great town, It is a fact, though, that nearly all the great women beauties of France were and are Cahets, which, says the author, strangely coincides with the other fact that the Rodiyas of Ceylon, until the arrival of the English re- garded as outcasts, both politically and socially, produce the most beautiful women, not only in Ceylon, but in all India, “In this connection,” says the au- thor, “I observed that in the land of castes, the darker the skin, the lower the social order, “This holds good in all India, yet the Rodiyas are much lighter in color than the majority of their contempora- ries, and not only the women, the men, too, are far better looking than their contemporaries. Their features are of a noble cut and their legs are much better developed. “Their better physical condition 1s due to the fact that up to the English protectorate the superior castes of India gave their unfaithful women and their unchaste daughters to the Rodiyas as the most horrible of pun- ishments. In this way the despised race received a goodly admixture of the best blood of India, many queens sultanas and princesses being cop demned to marry Rodiyas.” HENSEN TELLS OF TRIP TO THE POLE Guest of Society for Historical Research in Yonkers. ATE BOILED DOG OFTEN MAN WHO eBoaniview PEARY TO THE NORTH POLE RELATES ABOUT THE ARCTIC REGIONS— CLIMATIC AND ASTRONOMICAL INCIDENTS OF THE VOYAGE. Yonkers, N. ¥.—At a recent meet- Ing of the Negro Society for Historical Research, with headquarters in this city, Mr. Matthew A. Hensen, who ac- companied Commander Peary to the “north pole, was the principal speaker. “The exercises were held at Sunny ‘Slope cottage, which {s the residence of Mr, John E. Bruce, president of the organization. A special feature of the “musical program was the part taken ‘by little Miss Cecile Butler and her brother Willie, who gave sev- eral piano and violin selections with rare ability, | Mr. Hensen told of his travels and experiences in the arctic regions in a straightforward, painstaking manner, drawing here and there many striking illustrations of the difficulties and hardships encountered en route to the icy regions. He is a pleasing speak- er and possesses a fund of humor. He said he felt highly honored when he was asked to speak before the Historieal society, which is doing a good work in preserving for fu- ture reference the achievements of the negro race. He had been a globe trotter for many years, Before he entered the service of Commodore Peary he made the trip to China and the orient on a sailing vessel and was out of the country for three years. On his re- turn from this trip he went to South America, where it was so hot they had to feed the hens cracked ice to prevent them from laying hard boil- ed eggs. Next he entered the service of Peary and for 20 years had followed the commander's fortunes on all his trips to the north pole and shared with him the hardships which its triumph- ant discovery entailed. In 1906 Hugh Lee and himself were the only men in Peary's party to yol- unteer to stay with him for another year, and they, with Peary, made the famous record trip across the polar ice in 33 days. Jn the final quest for the pole they made an average of 26 miles a day, and on reaching the pole Peary took five sets of observa- tions to make sure he had actually got there. He told in a humorous way how the party subsisted during this and’ other trips polarward, They had boiled dog for breakfast, stewed dog for dinner and cold boiled dog for supper. Some- times they shot a musk ox and en- Joyed a square meal. The Eskimos, he said, are polygamists, haying as many wives as they can support. They have no religion that can be defined. They believe if a man is good he will go up into the sky after death and if bad down into the bowels of the earth. ‘They are a short lived people. ‘The men rarely live to be 40 years of age. The females marry at from 12° to 14 years and at 18 or 19 look to be 30 or 40. They have a proverb which he quoted in Eskimo and trans- lated: “The peacock may be a beau- tiful bird, but It takes a stork to deliver the goods.” . He said the moon shone so brightly in the arctle regions that it is possible to hunt the musk ox by its refulgent light or to read or do any work ordi- narily performed in the daytime. The sun at its brightest can be looked at without danger to the eyes. Its heat Is not felt. For 110 days the sun never sets in the arctic regions, and for the same number of days it never rises. Mr. Hensen was asked a number of questions by members of the so- ciety, which he answered quickly, showing that he was familiar with the geography and topography of the polar region, where he had spent, off and on, the best part of 20 years. A reception in Mr. Hensen’s honor was given at the close of the program. ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS HE’LL QUIT BAR ASSOCIATION IF IT OUSTS LEWIS. Washington, — Attorney General Wickersham said that he would re- sign from the American Bar associa- tion if that organization sustained the action of its executive committee in ousting William H. Lewis, a negro, and an assistant attorney general, from membership. ‘The attorney general declared that he was not fighting for the admission of a negro to the organization, but was waging a fight against the idea that the American Bar association could do a thing which he believes to be illegal.

No farm home vegetable garden should be without a good row or bed of asparagus. It is of the easiest cul- ture and can be grown almost any- where. It comes on for table use very early in spring before most other plants are ready, and a short row of it will supply a common-sized family with an abundance of this appetizing and healthful green food for four or five weeks at a season when green things are most relished. Although asparagus will grow and thrive for many years in exposed and neglected situations, yet the best re- sults are secured by planting it in very deep and well-fertilized soll in a fayored portion of the garden. Most persons speak of the “aspar- agus bed,” yet the writer has had the best results with the least amount of labor by setting the plants in a straight row across the garden. In a bed, the plants are hard to cultivate and keep clean, and after a few years the roots become so crowded for space that large growth is not possi- ble. In the row, cultivation is easy. ‘We use the horse cultivator for stir- ring the soil on each side of the row, and in this way with close working only a very few weeds must be pulled by hand. In fact, perennial vegetable beds in general are going out of date, with hills and straight rows 3 or 4 feet apart to admit of horse tool cul- tivation taking their place. Since the asparagus row {s to be permanent, it 1s best to make the soil very fertile and work it deeply. Open as deep a furrow as possible with a twohorse plow, throw- ing the soll both ways, and then with one good horse to the same plow throw out the soil 6 to 10 inches deep, with plenty of loose so!l for filling. In the bottom of the trench is placed a deep layer of decomposed manure, and back over this a good layer of fine soll is plowed and firmed down. On this soil a thinner layer of fertil- izer {8 placed, and is covered lightly with soil. The roots, or one-year-old plants, are set on this about 1 foot apart, and fine soil covered in and over the roots till the first crowns are buried 3 inches. During the first season after plant- ing the row {s given good, clean culti- vation, the same as the rest of the garden plants. In the fall the tops are cut away and removed, and the row given a liberal mulch. of manure, which the following spring is cult!- vated into the soll about the roots. Only a few shoots should be cut the second year after planting, but the fol- lowing spring and thereafter the growth will be large and close cutting may be done. A saving of two years or more can be made in planting roots instead of sowing seed. The roots may be purchased cheaply of private grow- ers, or they may be purchased of all large seed dealers. One hundred plants make a good row for the family garden. ‘To grow asparagus from seed, plant the seed in spring as early as posst- ble, covering with about an inch of fine soll. Several weeks will be re- quired for the seed to germinate and the young plants to come up. Give clean cultivation from the first, and thin the young plants to stand about 2 inches apart in the row. In the fall, cut the tops away, and the following spring take up the roots to set in the permanent row as described above. ROAD PROGRESS ANALYZED. In 1903 the Department of Agricul- ture listed the reasons for the lack of progress in constructing good high- ways in the following order: 1. The excellence and the rapid de- yelopment of our raihvay systems and our extensive waterways. 2. Our long familiarity with bad roads and the indifference of those in charge of highway affairs. 8. The lack of appreciation of the social, commercial and economic value of good roads, and the fear of increased taxation on the part of the rural population. 4, The wasteful and ineffective sys: tem of personal service of the rural population on the highways, 5. The lack of general authority, intelligent supervision, provisions for equitably distributing burden of cost, and business methods in highway con- struction and maintenance. ‘Within a few years several of these causes have become inoperative, and several other forces have been arous- ed to action which will make for much improvement in our highways, Our “extensive” waterways have declined in Importance, a large part of their business being taken from them by our railway systems. These, in turn, have consolidated, and, in many cases, have raised rates on the short hauls, in order to offer better terms to those who have long hauls to be undertaken. Our long familiarity with bad roads and the former indifference of those In charge of highway affairs, has been supplanted by a desire to see what good highways are like, and a very lively interest in good roads in most sections of the country. The lack of appreciation of the values of good roads and fear of in- creased taxation have been largely re- moved by campaigns of enlightenment ’nd more equitable systems of taxa- Won. The lack of general authority in ‘some sections persists and better high- way legislation has been the rule iu many states, while business methods of highway construction and main- tenance are chief topics of conversa tion where any group of farmers get together. Several factors have appeared which have materially boosted the good roads movement within a few years. Foremost is the work of the ‘automobile dealers and clubs in their work of encouraging the building of ‘good roads. Another factor is the !n- creased interest of railroads, bankers and commercial interests generally whose profits depend upon the in- crease in general prosperity. A factor which is not yet powerful is the use of automobile trucks for hauling. These machines are used in many places for suburban deliveries, and their use may be extended In the future. Altogether, the outlook for better highways 1s more encouraging | than ever before. PROTECTING FRUIT. Millions of dollars’ worth of proper- ty is lost and hundreds of men are impoverished annually by destructive storms and frosts which damage fruit trees and destroy part of the crop. Severe frosts will sometimes destroy the crop for several years. Only with- in a few decades have artificial meth- ods of overcoming destructive atmos- pheric conditions been tried. The methods have been of three classes; explosives, smudges and heating de- vices. | European grape growers were the first to try explosives, and they have ‘since been tried with indifferent suc- cess in many ways. The method con- sists of bombarding clouds, bringing probable storms in the mountains be- fore they have time to invade the low- lands where the vineyards are. Smudge pots for protecting the buds from the sun's rays on clear mornings were first used In France. Small wooden boxes were filled with resinous substances, smothered with earth and fired in early morning to make a cloud for the protection of the fruit. The co-operation of an en- tire district 1s necessary in this case. Smudges are also used as heating de- vices. Of] heaters have been found to be the best, except in regions where coal is exceptionally abundant. Crude oll can be obtained cheaply in tank lots. The ofl is burnt In specially construct- ed lamps, holding from five to elght quarts of ofl. A heater that will hold seven quarts of ofl should burn ten hours, which is sufficient. One hun- dred ofl heaters should be used for each acre. An orchard of ten acres should be protected by always having on hand a sufficient number of heaters and a‘carload of ofl. The heaters, if used in the number indicated, will raise the temperature of the orchard ag much as 15 degrees. A temperature of 28 degrees Fahren- hett 1s considered sufficient to keep the buds from injury in April, when the killing frosts are most to be feared. This temperature should be determined from thermometers hung on the trees, for a thermometer hung on the house will be altered by the heat of the building. Thermostats, which sound an alarm when the mer- cury has dropped below a given point, are useful. Protecting orchards from frost has passed out of the experimental stage, end has become a science from which definite results may be obtained from a certain investment of money and labor. LIVE STOCK JOTTINGS. At the present prices of all feeds, wheat {s about the cheapest and best that can be used for a variety of pur- poses. When feeding wheat to horses, give only a very small amount at first and mix {t with corn, oats or bran. Wheat can be fed to hogs with safety by scattering it over the ground for them to pick up only a few grains at a time. Feed the calves some grain and heavy feeds at this season, so they will not become poor and stunted be- fore they go onto new pasture. A good way to clear a small field of brush and sprouts 1s to fence {t and pasture with sheep, calves and other stock. The animals will keep the sprouts eaten off if confined to the space, and they will manure the ground while killing the undesirable growth. Hogs will root more in spring when the ground {s soft than at any other season. Feeding with shorts, tank- age, charcoal, coal, salt and things they relish will reduce the rooting inclination. Rooting in some cases will do the hogs good and the soil good. Rings are to be used only in extreme cases. Rooting {s always an indication that the animals do not re- ceive a variety of foods that their ap- petites demand. Rings may cure the rooting, but they will not cure the de- mands for foods. Sows farrowing in spring should be provided with extra dry shelter and bedding. Pigs and other baby animals can endure considerable cold when they are in the dry, « . —=~" J , POETRY [ of and by Our People She oe) OR SO IO ata ee ee gms egw A wanderer I ought to be ‘That's allus on the steady hike, Yit I ain't never been to see ‘What other porta an’ lands is like: [ only sits upon the quay Where ships come in an’ ships depart, I longs to board ‘em an’ to flee But I ain't got the nerve to start.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street THE ANTLER'S GOLD MINING AND MILLING COMPANY PROPERTY IN ROUTT COUNTY, COLORDO. The property of the Antler's Gold Mining and Milling Company consists of about 200 acres of placer ground and eleven lode claims, in all 310 acres of ground with a large deposit of free filling ore. The metals are free gold and native silver. The gold is predominating. Assays can be picked to run up into the thousands; samples can be picked from the ore that are more than half gold, but the average value cannot be properly determined until the ore can be extracted from greater depth and tested by the car lot. The surface cres, as nearly as can be determined with their present developments, will average between $15 and $20 a ton. The company is going to install a complete plant of machinery in the spring of 40-horse power capacity and sink the main shaft to find the quality and quantity of the ore at considerable depth, and as soon as the mine will justify it, the company will erect a mill to treat the ore at the mine. The ore deposit on the surface is twenty-six feet wide and can be traced for a distance of 1,400 feet, and I am not afraid to say that in a short time will be able to prove the Antler's to be as good a mine as any in this state. The "Antler's" mine is situated in the Hahn's Peak Mining District, in the county of Routt and state of Colorado, and is the main source of the placer gold in that district. The Hahn's Peak placer was first discovered in the 60's and a great deal of gold was taken out of the gulches by panning and rocking, and later on a hydraulic plant was erected by J. B. Farwell of Chicago, and a great deal of gold has been taken out, but only a small percentage of what exists in the ground yet that can be taken out with a large profit. For the last thirty-five years continuous prospecting has been carried on and hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent in the search for the source of the placer gold. I came to Hahn's Peak in the spring of 1881, and seeing all the course gold and nuggets taken from the placer I took the gold fever and, together with others, we started the first tunnel in the district to find the lode from where the gold came; but, like many others, we met with continuous failures. Placer gold can be found on all sides of Hahn's Peak, but the most extensive placer is on the south side, and, therefore, all prospecting has been carrier on on that side, but in the meantime a party of prospectors from Rawlins, Wyoming, came through the country and found some float on the north side of the mountain which assayed $7,000 in gold. Another party, from Denver, found float in the same vicinity assaying $14,000 in gold. Later on Mr. P. C. Coryell of New Castle did some placer mining at the head of Little Red Park, and through it I found the gold was going up the mountain in the vicinity where the richest floats were found. I started to follow the gold up the hill until I got on top of a Flat Top mountain, where the Antler's is now located. But I was not through, my discovery was not completed. I have, since that time, spent eight years and $9,000 dollars to find the ore in place. The ore body is now cut at a depth of fifty-five feet from the surface in place and in a fairly solid position. See what Mr. Newton, editor of the Daily Mining Record and one of the best mining experts, has to say about it: I have now formed the Antler's Gold Mining and Milling Company with a capitalization of 3,000 shares of stock of the par value of $1 per share and non-assessable. There is only one kind of stock; 100,000 shares of the stock I call capital stock, and 200,000 shares are placed in the treasury for development, machinery, mill and general expenses. No salaries are paid to officers except for actual services. I am only holding 15,000 shares of stock; 85,000 shares are sold to small hard working business men in Denver at 50 cents per share, part cash, and the balance I am to take out of the dividends on the stock held by them until paid, 50 cents per snare, which will give me $42,500 in cash for the mine. Now the company is offering 50,000 shares of the stock at 10 cents per share, and possibly a few shares will be offered with a raise of 5 to 10 cents per share to raise the necessary money to install a small plant of machinery and to do the necessary development on the mine to justify the installment of a mill. Now, at the present time this stock is too cheap for the millionaires, and we are not hunting them now, but we will try to have the mine properly opened up by September next, and by the showing we now have the stock should be considerably above par, perhaps $2 per share. Then is the time to draw the attention of capital, now, in the meantime, while this 10-cent stock is on the market, if you have a hundred or two dollars, and not enough to make a start in any kind of business, read this well over until you understand it correctly, and figure for yourself what an investment of $100 is liable to bring you in one year, and, take it on the other hand, with the capitalization of 300,000 shares it is nothing big to expect a dividend of $2 per share annually, which will give $2,000 a year on an investment of $100. If you have not got the amount of money you would like to invest in this stock, send us one-fifth of the amount you want to invest and pay the balance by June 1, 1912. We will receipt you for what money you pay, and if something should come in your way that you are not able to pay up in full by June 1, then we will issue stock to you for the amount paid. This is straight and a square, honest way for all, and we are going to continue business in that way. If you are in the city, call at our office, 837 Acoma street, and see some of the ore from the mine and let us tell you all about it. Vice President. NIELS P. JOHNSON, Secretary and Treasurer. The Daily Mining Record of Denver, under date of July 15, 1911, gives the following article: GOLD STRIKE ON THE ANDREW SMITH IS IMPORTANT. The excitement attending the recent developments at the Royal Flush did not have time to subside before attention was again directed to Hahn's Peak by a big gold strike made by Andrew Smith on the north side and over toward Little Red Park. I blazed a trail over the fallen timber on the shoulder of the peak from the Royal Flush to the Andrew Smith property, and spent a little time with Mr. Smith and his hard-working wife, who, by the way, has been assisting her husband in the actual mining operations. Andrew Smith owns a ranch on the road to Three Forks, but he has had the gold fever for many years, and 'tis said has mortgaged his ranch that he might dig for the stuff which would make him wealthier and in short time if he could but strike it right. With his wife, he has worked hard and faithfully, enduring privations together, but from what I saw and learned they have their reward in what looks like a bonanza. The old German and his Swedish wife received us hospitally, incidentally refreshing us after our hard climb with home-made cider, brewed of dried apples and yeast. The Andrew Smith properties here have been pretty well burrowed with tunnels and open cuts, and a shaft put down to a depth of 56 feet. The shaft cut an ore body, which was 26 feet on its dip, and the material is so solid that—well, I am glad that I do not have to drill in it. It is a quartzite, with conglomerates that showed a fine string of colors from the panning which Mr. Smith made for us. Large chunks of this ore, he said, had assayed four and one-half ounces gold, with silver values ranging from 40 to 80 ounces to the ton. He told me of having found wire silver, and of a gold assay of $1,200 from a piece of sandstone. STRIKE WILL HAVE BEARING UPON FUTURE OPERATIONS UPON FUTURE OPERATIONS. I don't think that Mr. Smith will bother himself much about whether his find is in place—at least, not for the time being. He has a big deposit in sight, and which should yield into the tens of thousands. It looks like a permanent find, if we are to judge by the solid character and splendid appearance of the rock, and certainly the values should please the most particular. Here's luck to you, Andrew Smith, and I hope you make a million! I think that I am safe in saying that the Andrew Smith strike is the most important gold strike made on the peak, and it should have an important bearing upon future operations, as well as proving a great insentive for further serious work over in that section. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Back again for another year of diligent service to the good people of Denver and Scott's! We are happy to be back in this beautiful city of sunshine. Let us make this the grandest year of them all. Mortgage to be paid off, church renovated, souls saved for the Master's kingdom. The old comforted and the young encouraged. We have nothing but a vision of the grandest, unselfish service before us. There will be organized a Five Points Literary Society in Scott's in the near future. There will be inaugurated a Wallace's Academy to help those who are in service or who have been deprived of school privileges. The following branches will be taught: Elementary studies in English, Greek, Latin, French, German, Hebrew. Course in elocution and theology. Please send all applications to the pastor, J. N. Wallace. Terms will be very reasonable. We wish to thank the Rev. Dr. R. A. Ralph and Dr. B. T. Vincent for the excellent service rendered Scott's during the pastor's absence. The people were well pleased with these eminent divines' sermons. The Easter exercise promises to be greater than ever. The choir will render special music. The Sunday school will render its program in the morning. The Junior choir will wear white robes donated by Mrs. Luella Williams and Mrs. F. D. McPherson. Mrs. E P. Forney has been very sick, but is improving at this writing. Sunday will be Trustee day, Mr. John F. Thomas, the new chairman of the Trustee board, is the right man in the right place. He is asking for a large collection for his department Sunday. The benevolences reported at the conference were $152, more than three times the sum reported the year the pastor came to take charge of the church. Can't we go a step higher this year? The Rev. C. W. Holmes, ex-pastor of Scott's, will leave about the first of the month for his appointment in Ardmore, Okla. He will speak words of farewell Sunday morning. You ought to hear him. Mrs. Lucy W. Holmes spoke to the Sunday school last Sunday morning. The subject for the Sunday morning discourse will be "The Crucificin" "And when there comes unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, they gave Him vinegar to drink, mingled with gall, and when he had tasted thereof, He would not drink. And they cricified Him." Matt. 27: 33-35. The evening discourse will be "The King and the Country." Strangers are made to feel welcome. It will not be long before our beloved brother J. D. Rice will finish his course at Gammon Theological seminary. The pastor is requesting friends to send donations to him for an ap propriate graduating present. We especially urge the members of Scott's to give liberally. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT DAY. Estate of John H. Wilson, Deceased, pointed administrativeatrix of the state of John H.

AUTO INDUSTRY LEADS COPPER, TIN AND SHEET IRON INDUSTRIES SHOW REMARKABLE GROWTH. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington. An increased tendency toward diversification in manufacturing industries in the United States was observed by federal officials who have compiled statistics of the relative importance of manufacturing industries. The statistics cover the ten-year period ending with 1909 and were collected by the census bureau. The report on the investigation says that the less important industries of the country showed greater percentages of increase during the period than the more important ones. By far the highest percentage of increase was noted in the automobile industry. Exceptionally large increases were credited to the copper, tin and sheet iron industries. Large decrease in the average number of wage earners was shown in the iron and steel blast furnaces, sugar and molasses industries. The manufacturing industries of the United States employ as wage earners 6,615,046 people or almost fourteen and one-half per cent. of the total population; the value of the products of these industries is $20,672,052,000 and the value added by their manufacture is $8,530,261,000. The slaughtering and meat packing industry ranks first in gross value of products with $1,370,568,000; second is foundry and machine shop products with $1,228,475,000; third, lumber and timber products with $1,156,129,000; fourth, iron and steel, steel works and rolling mills with $985,728,000, and fifth, flour mills and grist mill products with $883,584,000. Homestead Bill Passes Washington.—An important step toward liberalizing the land laws was taken when the House by an unanimous vote, passed the three-year homestead act substantially as it passed the Senate. All the essential features of the original bill were retained and what differences exist between the Senate and House measures will be adjusted by the conference committee, which will consist of Senators Smoot, Jones and Newlands and Representatives Taylor, Ferris and Mondell, all favorable to the measure. When finally shaped up by the conference committee, and the conference report accepted, President Taft will sign the bill. The proposed new law, in brief, reduces the homestead period from five to three years and gives homesteaders five months' leave of absence each year, and six months in which to establish residence after making the original filing. The heirs of a deceased entryman are relieved from residence on the entry upon a showing that the entryman had complied with the law up to the time of death.
