XVIII. NATION GRO BU The meeting of this body of aggressive and progressive men and women held its thirteenth annual session in Chicago, Ill., this week. In point of numbers, enthusiasm and zeal it easily eclipsed any session of the League since its organization in Boston. The progress reported in commercial affairs from every section of the country was inspiring indeed, several representatives from other countries being in attendance. Mr. Washington, the president, was at his best and every note sounded by him rang true to progress. The object of the meeting was not to count wealth or measure finance amid such overwheming odds as found in the white race, but simply to put forth an humble and determined effort to collect our scattered forces in business and put confidence in its possibilities, unity in its resources and turn the attention of the race to money getting, money saving and investment in enterprises that offer good returns and to emphasize that, these things are a necessity in this commercial age. There was no discordant notes in the audience, scholars, teachers, professors, lawyers, doctors, druggists, wholesale and retail, business men and women in every line, farmers, artisans, mechanics, workers in social reform, editors and those in every way engaged in building up the race. There was no discordant notes against any other organization or class of men engaged in other lines of endeavor. It was found that the race is now engaged in almost every money producing enterprise in the nation. The one dominant note was "work, struggle, invest." Without labor and economy and its fruit—money—we cannot rise above being hewers of wood and drawers of water. "What we have lost in politics, like the Jews, let us gain in wealth," and it was indeed encouraging to see how this advise has been accepted for many years. NEGROES URGED NOT TO DEPEND ON UNCERTAIN JOBS A plea to Negroes to cease depending on odd and uncertain jobs as a means of livehood and to enter farming and commercial lines, was made Wednesday night by Dr. Booker T. Washington in an address before the league. The educator pointed out that the buyers of farm products, household furniture, buggies and wagons did not ask whether the goods came from the hands of a white or colored man. He said that the South and West with their millions of acres of unused lands and new cities offer welcome to the farmer and the small business man regardless of race. Watt Terry, of Brockton, Mass., told the convention how he started in the real estate business and increased his capitol from fifteen cents to $500,000. "I found no barrier against me because of color and I bought the choicest property in Brockton," he said. "I attribute my success to the fact that I worked, and that all my deals could be submitted to the inspections of the angels in heaven. "The man who tried to keep me from going into the real estate business because he feared my color would be against me, still is working for $2 a day. I have two thousand persons in my apartment buildings and only one family belongs to the Negro race." ENTERTAINED BY HELEN M. GOULD Tarrytown, N. Y., August 14. Lyndhurst, the beautiful and spacious country place of Miss Helen M. Gould, the noted philanthropist, and member of the wealthy Gould family, was the scene of much merriment last Saturday, and the attendants and attaches claim there was more laughter and jollification to the square inch than on any previous occasion at Lyndhurst. The merrymakers were members of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church New York City. The Rev. R. M. Bolden, pastor of Mother Zion Church, was formerly pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church in Tarrytown It was while here that he formed the acquaintance of Miss Gould, who was among the wealthy residence who aided him financially in his church work. A short time ago Miss Gould, through the Rev. Dr. Bolden, extended an invitation to the members of the Sunday School to spend a day at Lyndhurst, which was promptly accepted. Men, women and children, numbering over three hundred, left DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY. AUGUST 24 1912. State Hist & Nat Hist Books State Houses House, If Yo ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO New York on a special train over the New York Central Saturday morning at 9 o'clock for Lyndhurst. Miss Gould personally chartered the special train and the visitors did not have to pay a cent. The party arrived at Tarrytown at 9:45 and was at once taken to Lyndhurst where every arrangement had been made for the entertainment of the guests. The well known philanthropist also saw to it that an appetizing luncheon was served to the visitors, and not one of the three hundred left Lyndhurst craving for something to eat. The party returned to New York on the special train at 6 o'clock, after enjoying the hospitality of Miss Gould for over seven hours. WHITES KNOW LITTLE OF NEGRO PROGRESS The following editorial appeared in the New York World, August 6: "Only one valid objection can be urged against the bill of Congressman Fitzgerald appropriating $250,000 for an exposition to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Negro emancipation in this country. The sum asked is to small for the occasion. The exposition should not be a paltry one. It should be made as near as possible complete in every line of labor and all-comprehensive in its scope; ample in extent to show both what the Negro has been able to achieve in his fifty years of freedom and what guarantees he gives of industry and of art for the years to come. "If the exposition be undertaken in the right spirit and carried out on broad lines, it can hardly fail to augment the credit of the black race and go far toward removing many prejudices that now hold their place in the minds of people both North and South. The world knows little of what the Negroes have done and are doing with their freedom. The output of their activity, the fruits of their advancing culture, are mixed with the overwhelming mass of the products of the white race and cannot be measured and appraised to the credit of the black. Consequently, what we hear of the Negro as a Negro is mostly a record of his blunders or his vices or his crimes. "An exposition of his industry would be surely worth while if done on a scale commensurate with its importance, and only on such a scale should the Government give aid to it." NEGRO POSTMISTRESS Mrs. Laura Anderson Hamilton, for many years a teacher in the public schools at Leavenworth, stood first in a civil service exami- nation for postmaster at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont and was appointed July 25th at a salary of $90.00 per month. There were three candidates for the place; two white men and Mrs. Hamilton. She is the first woman of her race to land a like position over the civil service route, the appointment of Mrs. Cox and others having been recommended by the President. DEMOCRATS HOLD UP NOMINATION Washington, D. C. Aug. 13—General Robert Smalls, whose name was sent to the senate some months ago for reappointment as internal revenue collector at Beaufort, S. C., is being held up by the Democratic Senators from that state, and thus far the Republican Senators have failed to get it reported out of the committee to which it was referred. General Smalls was appointed collector under President McKinley, reappointed under President Roosevelt and again reappointed by President Taft. There has been no criticism of his administration of the office, in fact his several reappointments is the proof that he has made a capable and efficient official. It is not at all probable that President Taft will withdraw the appointment. He will leave it to the Senate to confirm or reject. This is the second colored official in the South President Taft has reappointed this year. EXPLOSION KILLS NINE-TEEN COLORED MINERS. Seventeen Bodies Recovered at Abernant, Ala. Nineteen Negro miners were killed by an explosion in the Abernant Coal Company's mine at Abernant, Alabama, Tuesday morning. Forty-six white men and eighteen Negroes got safely out of the workings after the blast. Seventeen bodies had been recovered Tuesday night. The explosion occurred in entry 25, about 100 feet from the surface. The majority of the workmen were engaged at a lower level which prevented greater life loss. TAFT COMMUTES SENTENCE. Colored Woman, Ill. Her Life Is Spared Washington.—With the sevenfold example of legalized murder before him and following a determined campaign of leading women of the national capital, President Taft this afternoon announced that he would commute to life imprisonment the death sentence imposed on Mattie Lomax, a Colored woman, convicted of murdering her husband, and the first woman held in the District of Columbia under the death sentence since Mrs. Surratt, one of the Lincoln conspirators. The Lomax woman is said to be dying of tuberculosis. RACE NEWS Mr. Andrew Carnegie, who is now at Skibo, Scotland, sent to Wilberforce University a few days ago, $8,000 in part payment of his pledge of funds to complete the girl's Dormitory. This building will be furnished in September at the cost of something over $43,000. Toward this amount Mr. Carnegie contributes $17,500. This will complete the building free from all debts. Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, former pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, and now editor of the A. M. E. Review, has deserted Roosevelt. Dr. Ransom was one of the Colonel's most enthusiastic admirers and made the principal speech at a big Raosevelt meeting conducted by Negroes at Chicago during the recent National Republican Convention. Chicago, Aug. 7.—Jack Johnson champion pugilist, showed yesterday that he could fight as fairly in court as in the prize ring. He appeared as complaining witness against a colored youth whom he had arrested for stealing a tire from his racing machine. The evidence was against the prisoner and the Judge was about to hold him to the Criminal Court when Johnson spoke: "Your honor he said, "I know this boy is guilty, but sending him to jail won't get me my tire back and it may do him harm. If you are willing I am satisfied to have the charge changed to one of disorderly conduct and a small fine imposed. "One dollar would suit me as well as anything else," the champion replied. The Judge made this the fine. New York, Aug. 18.—The question whether Negro attorneys shall be admitted to membership in the American Bar association will be submitted for decision to the annual meeting of the organization next week at Milwaukee. The executive committee last night made a special report regarding its action in resounding the election of three Negroes as members. This question first became prominent last January when the executive committee reconsidered its action in electing to membership William H. Lewis, a United States assistant attorney general and a well-known Boston Negro. Lewis is a Harvard graduate and in his university days was famous as a football player. The rejection was made on the ground of "ignorance of material fact," which NO 50 fact was that the man was a Negro. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Aug. 13.—Mrs. John A. Kenney, wife of Tuskegee Institute, Friday, August 9, at 12 o'clock, from cancer of the kidney, from which she had long suffered. In an effort to prolong her life and ease her sufferings Dr. Kenney had her spend the month of July at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, Michigan. Not securing relief, Mrs. Kinney requested that her husband's friends and associates in practice, Dr. Daniel H. Williams of Chicago and Dr. F. A. Stewart of Nashville, be asked to come to Tuskegee in order to perform an operation. Even the skill of such renowned practitioners, however, as Dr. Williams and Dr. Stewart availed nothing against the malignant maiady which had fastened itself upon her. Dr. Kenney's thousands of friends throughout the country, and especially such as are members of the National Medical Association, of which he is the secretary, will sorrow with him in his bereavement. The remains were carried to Forest Depot, Va., Mrs. Kenney's old home, and interred Sunday afternoon. Julius Rosenwald, the Jewish philanthropist of Chicago, has again shown his splendid charitable spirit through his great gift of above $600,000 to various institutions and charitable concerns. Tuskegee is among the beneficiaries, receiving $25,000, to be used in furthering the work at Dr. Washington's well known school. Dr. Rosenwald, has just reached his fifteenth year, and in celebrating it concluded to make the princely donations. He gives on the theory that money is made to be spent, and presumably on the theory that he should show mercy as it has been shown unto him. As we view it, he does the reasonable thing. His talent has been for money getting, while that of the inventor, the scholar, the musician or whatsoever, has been for that for which they stand. These give back freely of their "stores," feeling that it is their duty to do so. The very wares in Mr. Rosenwald's stores, and by which it has been possible for him to make so a fortund, were the result of the genius of other kinds. So it is fitting when the Carnegies, the Rockefellers, the Resenwalds also conclude to contribute to the world of their genius and for the same end—the happiness and advancement of mankind.—Freeman. 4 BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR- EIGN COUNTRIES.

Thomas Taggart, national committee: man from Indiana, was master of cer: emonies. . Governor Marshall in his formal speech of acceptance attacked the Republican party on the grounds that it had fostered special privilege to the point of making men everywhere So clalistic in theory if not in conduct. In this connection he said: “It {9 idle for a thoughtful man in America, whether millionaire or pau- per, longer to play the ostrich, Safety does not consist in hiding one’s head in the sands of either sentiment ot hope. “It is foolish for the vastly rich to keep on insisting that more and more shall be added to their riches through a specious system of special legisla: tion, ostensibly enacted to run the government, in reality enacted to loot the people. “It is worse than ignorance for them to smile at the large body of in. telligent Americans who regard them: selves as fortunate if the debit anc credit accounts of life balance at the end of the year; and to assume that the mighty many, who are becoming convinced that that social system that we call democracy is but a glit tering generality, will long endure the industrial slavery being produced. “Whether voting the ticket or not men everywhere looking upon the aw. ful injustice of this economic system are becoming Socialistic in theory i not in conduct. “And shall any fairminded mar say that if it redounds to the interest: of the people of this country a hun dred men shall control its business tc the good of everyone, tnat there is anything fallacious in the theory that government, instead of transferring business to a favored few for the bene fit of all should ftself discharge thé business for the benefit of all? “{ do not hesitate to say that if i be impossible to restore this Republic to its ancient ideals, which I do not believe, and I must make the ultimat choiee between the paternalism of thé few and the Socialism of the many count me and my house with th throbbing heart of humanity. “The discontent in Republicar ranks is Democratic discontent. Hov much of it has reached the poin' where, wearied with the bad work ings of a good system, it is willing t« topple that system over and try some thing new, I cannot prophesy. “But I am quite sure that whatever badges men may wear in Americs this year, whatever ballots they may cast and’ whatever battle cries they may utter, there are but three grades of citizens.” : “The first grade is made up of the favored few, their hangers-on anc their beneficiaries, who think th eagle is upon the dollar, not as an em blem of liberty, but as an emblem 0 power, and who look upon governmen BAN ON DIVORCED PERSONS.

Belle Plaine, Kan—In a fight that followed a desperate attempt by Sam- uel Wood, thirty-five years old, a farm- er, to kidnap Ethel Manahan, the twenty-two-year-old daughter of Mat- thew Manahan, at the latter’s farm near here, James Thompson, sixteen years old, was killed; Manahan was fatally wounded, and’ Gaylord Mana- han, sixteen years old, a son of Mat- thew, was hurt, but not seriously.

Grand Junction.—John Forrest, & railroad fireman of this city making his first trip, and W. H. Ramore of Helper were killed, while Engineer A. RB. Keeley of this city and Engineer B. C. Cole of Helper were seriously in- jured in a head-on collision between two freight trains near Farnham, Utah, Forrest, who had just obtained ‘a position, was urged by his mother ‘and sisters not to make the run, for they had dreamed that he would be killed. He laughed at their fears. as an annex to their business affairs; these are thoy who in the past years of Republican misrule have turned the temple of constitutional freedom into a money-changers mart and have made of the co-ordinate branches of the gov- ernment obelsant lackeys of tho jingling guinea, “The second grade consists of those whose outlook upon life has been en- larged by the civilization under which we live, who have been taught by the school and the college, by the press and the magazine, who appreciate the good things of life, whose horizon has been enlarged and whose capacity ior joy and sorrow has been Increased. “Conditions have become unbearable to them. They have reached the point where, in the struggle for that whicti they believe to be right, they are will- ing to destroy the ideals of the Re- public.

And they hold that it is no part of government to boost one man and boot another.” “If I doubted that the return of the historic Democratic party to power would fail to right the wrongs of in- dustrial life, wipe out the injustices of legislation and to preserve the oppor- tunity of every man for happiness, then my voice, now weak, would be silent. It I did not believe that inso- far as human agency can, this party of ours will promote the brotherhood of mankind, I would here and now repu- diate it. “But believing as I do that the re- public had its origin in an inspiration which did not come from the mere brain of a mere man, but sprang from the heart of humanity, believing that this age more than any’ which has pre- ceded it calls for conscience and broth- erhood in governmental affairs; hoping that every sacrifice of mind and body and personal good which has been made, is a guaranty of the perpetuity of this, the latest and greatest experi- ment upon the part of a democracy to work out its ideals in government; and trusting that the God of Washing- ton, the founder, and of Lincoln, the preserver, will still be the God of the republic, and will not permit his chosen people to forever wander in the wilderness of legislative sin, I accept upon its platform, the nomination of the Democratic party for vice presi- dent of the United States. “And may my right hand forget her cunning and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth if in all my get- tings I fail to get that greatest gift— wisdom aid imderstandig to know the heart-break and the need of our common humanity.” SALVATION ARMY CHIEF DEAD. Great Work of Gen. Booth Known Over Entire World. London.—General William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, and one of the greatest humanitarians in the history of civilization, is dead. ‘The aged lifelong enemy of sordidness, selfishness and sin breathed his last Tuesday night. His last words uttered just before consciousness passed from him, were a message of faith and hope. “God’s promises? You have a mes- sage to army and to the world?” ques- tioned Bramwell Booth, gently bending over the bedside of the dying leader of men. “They are sure—yes, they fare sure —it you will only believe,” came in clear, whispered tones from the lips which could speak no more.

UTICA PUT ON GALA ATTIRE TO WELCOME NOTIFICATION COMMITTEE. ACCEPTS PARTY’S CALL PRESIDENT TAFT, UNABLE TO ATTEND WIRES WORDS OF CONGRATULATIONS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Utica—Vice President James S. Sherman, the first man to be twice nominated by the Republican party for the office he now fills, was for- mally notified at his home here that he was again the choice of a Republi- can convention. “This distinction was not sought by me,” said the vice president, after United States Senator George Suther- land of Utah had delivered the speech of notification, “but unsolicited it is the more appreciated I can not but recognize your message as a mandate I must obey.” Large numbers of people came to the city for the event was prepared with an idea of making it a holiday for the central and northern part of the state. About twenty members of the committee of notification were present, headed by United States Sen- ator George Sutherland of Utah, the chairman, They were escorted to the Sherman residence on Genesee street by thousands of citizns. From the Sherman residence the plan was to go to Roscoe Conkling park. Mr. Sherman was ill recently, but has been steadily improving for the last fortnight, and was fit to meet the demands of the day. President Taft sent a telegram to Vice President Sherman congratulat- ing him and the Republican party: on his renomination, The President wired: “I am very sorry that the public business prevents my presence at the ceremonies. I congratulate you and the party on your nomination. The Republican party continues to be the party of the constitution, the defender of our gusrantees of civil liberty, pri- vate property and pursuit of happi- ness, and other civil rights; the up- holder of law and order, the opponent of Socialism, the sturdy supporter of high compensation for wage earners and our industrial success through a protective tariff. Iam proud again to be a jcint standard bearer with you for that party of conservatism, sanity and progress.” Senator Sutherland said in part: “We shall have arrayed against us in the coming campaign our ancient and hereditary enemy the Democratic party. In addition, we shall be called upon to contend with some former as- sociates whe have concluded to abandon their amiable custom of fir- ing upon the flag they have been fol- lowing, in order that they may engage in the more honorable but no more effectual occupation of assaulting it from the front, “For the next few months our ears are to be filled with the yoice of the malcontent, strident and many keyed, calling upon the people to forsake the tried and beaten paths of constitu- tional government, along which they heve walked with sure feet for more than a century, and enter upon a per- sonally-conducted pilgrimage through the political wilderness to a promised land as shadowy and unsubstantial as a desert mirage.” Vice President Sherman in accept- ing, said, in part: “Gentlemen of thé committee, you represent the forty- eight states of the Union, and eight million Republican voters in our wide domain. You bear the commission of the conyention which, representing them, met in’ Chicago in June, ‘The annals of American parties do not re- cord the proceedings of a political gathering condacted with more open- hess, fairness, deliberation, sobriety and worthy purpose than that for which you speak. Not deceived by the clamor of those who attempted to bolster up claims without basis, by hundreds of contests resting on a foundation so flimsy that in the light of investigation most of them melted away lke snow in a furnace heat and were rejected by quite or nearly a unanimous, vote, the convention adopted a platform that rings true for patriotism and constitutional gav- ernment and worthily bestowed a re- homjnation upon our present chief ex- ecutive.” New York.—The state's appraisal of the estate of John W.

Pennsylvania Man Explains Charges Regarding $25,000 Deposit. Washington.—In a careful, deliber- 2te speech in the Senate Senator Pen- rose of Pennsylvania replied to the charges made regarding a certificate of deposit for $25,000 sent to him by John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil Company in 1904 Senator Penrose admitted receiving that sum from Archbold, but said it was part of a contribution of $125,000 made by Archbold to the Republican national campaign fund, $100,000 of which amount, he said, went to the Republican national committee and $25,000 to himself for use in Pennsyl- vania. “President Roosevelt had been ad vised of the contribution,” Senator Penrose declared. He said that later Cornelius N. Bliss, then treasurer of the national committee, asked for an- other contribution of $150,000 from Archbold and his associates “interest- ed in the Standard Oil Company.” “The command was urgent, insistent —tI may say imperative, and it was represented it came direct from Pres- ident Roosevelt,” declared Senator Penrose, William Flinn, Roosevelt leader in Pennsylvania, was scored by Penrose. The senator charged that in 1904, Fiinn offered him and Israel W. Dur ham “$1,000,000 or $2,000,000" if they would favor his candidecy to the Sen- ate to succeed Senator Quay.

Mr. Hewetson-Watson, organist and chorus director in the city, begs to inform the public that he never authorized the promoters of the "Comrades" entertainment at Eureka hall, on the 26th inst. to insert his name as a competitor in their rag-time contest. He further states that he was requested to give a planoforte selection, which he was willing to do, but thinks it unfair to advertise him as above, when he has no inclination to be an aspirant for rag-time honors. While Mr. Hewetson-Watson does not denounce the rag-time music, yet he holds that the introductions made by amateur musicians tend to destroy the essence of the compositions, and therefore would not be a contestant. THE COMING CAMP OF COLORADO. I will again call the attention of the readers of the Colorado Statesman to the Hahn's Peak mining district. This has been one of the best placer mining camps and perhaps the best today in the state of Colorado. It is one of the earliest camps in the state. We all know that placer gold is coming from lodes or deposits of some kind from somewhere. We are now getting after where and how the ore is lying in this district and it is prophesied by experts and everybody in general, that this will be the next large producing gold camp in the state. The "Antlers Gold Mining and Milling Co." is one of the concerns operating in the district. It is also the oldest and is holding over 200 acres of possibly the best ground in the district, at least we have got a deposit 26 feet between walls of a high grade free milling free gold ore. We are driving a tunnel 800 feet to cut the ore, the tunnel was started the first of July this year and is now in 140 feet, and if we can continue to raise the necessary money to keep the work going we will cut the ore by April, next. The company is capitalized at 300,000, 200,000 is deposited in the treasury for development, machinery, mill, etc. We are offering a block of stock at 10 cents per share. We are leaving it to your own judgment what the stock will be worth when the tunnel reaches the ore. Try your luck; take some of this stock. You will help us and yourself the most by doing so. Ask Mr. Rivers, the publisher of the Colorado Statesman, and also an officer in the company. He will tell you what he has heard from his friends and good authority on mining, about the property. Now take advantage of this offer as it is most likely the last chance to buy stock with this company at this price. Send your order and money right to the mine, to A. J. Smith, president and general manager, Columbine, Routt Co., Colo., or to NIELS P. JOHNSON, Secretary and Treasurer. 527 Elati St., Denver Colo. James H. Brown A Colorado Man To Represent Colorado In The Senate With fifty-two years of life in Colorado behind me, I know her needs and her people. Without fear or favor I pledge my every effort to the development of our great natural resources, and the prosperity and happiness of ALL our people. JAMES H. BROWN. James H. Brown is essentially a Colorado product. Born in St. Joseph, Missouri, he was brought to this state when a six-months-old babe, by his father, Henry C. Brown, when the family settled in Denver, Colorado, in June, 1860. Henry C. Brown was a real Colorado pioneer; truly a builder, and a builder of greatness. He loved Colorado and he believed in Colorado, and those principles he inculcated into his children. He donated to Colorado the ground upon which stands the present State Capitol building. Perhaps the best evidence of his unbounded faith and praiseworthy citizenship was the erection of the Brown Palace hotel. There was something more than mere commercialism in building that magnificent structure in the early days. Mr. James H. Brown was educated in the public schools of Denver and received his higher training at the Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. He studied his chosen profession—the law—in the law offices of Symes & Decker in the city of Denver, and in 1879 was admitted to the Colorado bar, and in 1881 to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States. He was the first elective city attorney of the City of Denver—1885-1887—elected upon the Republican ticket. Unreservedly, Mr. Brown has always given of his time and talent to matters of civic and public interest, and he could always be found advocating that which seemed best for ALL the people. In fraternal and club circles Mr. Brown has been a prominent factor. TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF COLORADO. In Presenting My Name at the Primaries as a Candidate of the Republican Party for the Office of United States Senator for the Short Term, I Submit the Following as My Platform and Principles. Lower Cost of Living—Increased Income. 1. The restoration to the people of their natural rights and liberties prior to the prevalent Trust Era, by lowering the cost of living to reasonable figures and increasing the wage and opportunities of the wage-earner and small merchant and manufacturer for profitable and continuous employment; this to be accomplished by— For the People, Against the Trusts—Sherman Law Inadequate. (a) Abolishing the trusts by the lawful exercise of the federal taxing power. The Sherman anti-trust law has proved wholly inadequate in affording the people any substantial relief. The beef trust trial consumed over three months' time, cost thousands of dollars, resulted in an acquittal of the defendants, followed by an immediate increase of the cost of meat, which still continues. Instead of wasting the people's money in costly, protracted and fruitless litigation, frequently productive of perjured evidence, it is far better to save the people's money and shift the burden of taxation from the shoulders of the people to the business of the trusts. 1.

Federal Control of Interstate Corporations. in enactment of law licensing and placing under all corporations engaged in any form of intec at the formation of all kinds of trusts and time, place, quantity, quality or cost of any life. (b) The enactment of law licensing and placing under federal control and regulation all corporations engaged in any form of interstate commerce, so as to prevent the formation of all kinds of trusts and combinations for controlling the time, place, quantity, quality or cost of any of the necessities and comforts of life. Revalue of Plants—Squeeze Out Water. reaction of laws for the just, fair and reason and other plants within the jurisdiction of the latter shall be squeezed out of all classes of plants, so as to insure the ability of the samest, natural, normal interest rate earning will be obviated on the part of the manager excessive sums for public service or private pr to the people (c) The enactment of laws for the just, fair and reasonable revaluation of all corporate and other plants within the jurisdiction of the federal laws, whereby the water shall be squeezed out of all classes of securities issued against such plants, so as to insure the ability of the same to reduce their income to an honest, natural, normal interest rate earning capacity, whereby the necessity will be obviated on the part of the managers of such plants for charging excessive sums for public service or private productions offered by such plants to the people Restore Competition. state and vivify the economic maxim in all ation that "competition is the life of trade," it good comes to each and all without injur dependent rivalry in business which produces price, after paying a reasonable living wage (d) Reinstate and vivify the economic maxim in all lines of business throughout the nation that "competition is the life of trade," by which is meant that the greatest good comes to each and all without injury to any, through that honest, independent rivalry in business which produces the best article at the lowest price, after paying a reasonable living wage for the labor of production. Honest Reduction of Tariff. own honest and efficient reduction of the tariff, the agency of a permanent tariff commission, just and living wage to the wage-carner, a manufacturer or promoting the organization or, perhaps, aertheless, giving to capital only a fair and just (e) Such an honest and efficient reduction of the tariff on all foreign products, through the agency of a permanent tariff commission or otherwise, as will secure a just and living wage to the wage-earner, without unduly enriching a manufacturer or promoting the organization and existence of trusts, and, nevertheless, giving to capital only a fair and just return for its investment. Pensions From Profits. In the creation of a fund out of the profits of a small enterprise, out of which should be paid deductions to faithful employees. The profits of a worker bear the burdens of that business along with them on to the general taxpayers of the labor becomes injured, sick or in want. Is Entitled to Equal Standing With Security differences arising between the employés are of labor, the rights of labor, which keep them should have a standing at least equal to those of any such enterprise, instead of, as is preto, which, in the present high cost of livestock, and other industrial disturbances. (f) I favor the creation of a fund out of the profits of each manufacturing or industrial enterprise, out of which should be paid death, injury, sick and old-age pensions to faithful employees. The profits of each business or enterprise should bear the burdens of that business along with the benefits, rather than shift them on to the general taxpayers of the community, when employed labor becomes injured, sick or in want. Employees Entitled to Equal Standing With Security-Holders. (g) In all differences arising between the employés and employer over wages and hours of labor, the rights of labor, which keep such enterprise a going concern, should have a standing at least equal to that of the holders of such securities of any such enterprise, instead of, as is usually the case, coordinate thereto; which, in the present high cost of living, is the cause of strikes, lockouts, and other industrial disturbances. Justice to Both Labor and Capital. A just regard should be paid in all enterprises for the rights of both labor and capital, to the end that legitimate business may be promoted; at the same time the rights of the laboring man should be adequately safeguarded. Abolish Fellow-Servant Doctrine. 2. Introduce into the federal jurisprudence, as a permanent provision thereof, a change in the law of master and servant, whereby the doctrine of fellow-servant, as a defense to the master in an action for negligence, shall be eliminated. Advance Woman Suffrage. 3. I shall advocate the advancement of the cause of woman suffrage in national affairs as well as in the several states of the Union. Restore Home Life. The family is the unit of the state. Its prosperous condition is alone the only stable and permanent foundation for the maintenance of a noble and enduring race and nation. Each family must own its own home, comfortably furnished, and its possessions suitably and comfortably fed and clothed, with adequate opportunity for education and recreation. Such a change in the present economic conditions as secures the family these things will restore that attractive home life so essential to attach our sons and daughters thereto, and will relieve the fields of industry from the competition between the sexes for employment and support. The uplift in moral condition which will result from these changes is a field of activity in which every man should be pleased to enlist the hearty co-operation and support of every woman, by broadening the scope and field of suffragette activity.

National Highways—Nominal Toll—Steady Employment for All. 4. I shall advocate the enactment of a law inaugurating a nation-wide improvement, giving employment at a comfortable living wage to every unemployed man in the country, by the construction and maintenance of a national system of highways. In times of peace they will be a great economic benefit as government post roads, and also to all classes of society, including alike the wealthy automobile tourist, the farmer, the merchant, the cattleman and the laborer, and whether used for pleasure or profit. and whether at all. In times of war they will afford adequate means for mobilizing troops, supplies and munitions of war, upon our borders, without paralyzing internal commerce upon the existing railroads. A nominal but sufficient toll imposed for the use of these roads will pay for their construction and maintenance as well as for continuous extensions thereof. Such an enterprise will give the inland states of the nation a beneficial participation in the expenditure of the public revenues, heretofore largely devoted to the improvement of rivers and harbors, without, at the same time, as is largely done in the latter improvements, swallowing them up without any equable return to the people or the general treasury. Curb Smelting Trust—Develop State's Mineral Resources—Exploit Agricultural and Horticultural Products. 5. While Colorado must thank (?) the smelting trust for having passed from a mining state into a great agricultural and horticultural state, never theless every effort must be put forth to curb the smelting trust and develop Colorado's vast mineral resources, as well as to exploit her ability and her achievements in agricultural and horticultural products. In this connection I purpose to find and apply a remedy which will prevent the departments of the federal government through executive orders and under guise of promoting federal irrigation projects in other states, from depriving the citizens and lands of the state of Colorado of their priorities and irrigation rights in the streams within her borders for the benefit of the citizens and lands of other states and territories and foreign republics. Protect Irrigation Against Federal Encroachments. It must be self-evident to every right-thinking person, that the natural resources and advantages within the boundaries of our state, are and should be dedicated, primarily and exclusively, for the use and benefit of the inhabitants thereof, and that a distribution of such resources, to the exclusion of the rights of the people of this state, for the benefit of the lands and citizens of another state or foreign territory, is an unjustifiable deprivation of not only their legal but of their natural rights. Preserve Equal Opportunity for All. 6. It will be my aim, as it should pires at this time for a high public offer to see that the door of opportunity is and all of the citizens, on equal terms summing the right to administer the own country, should see to it that su only principle upon which good goves all the powers of government should greatest good to each and all of its c 6. It will be my aim, as it should be the chief aim of every one who aspirates at this time for a high public office like that of United States senator, to see that the door of opportunity is kept open, in this Republic, to each and all of the citizens, on equal terms; and the people of this nation, in assuming the right to administer the political and economic affairs of their own country, should see to it that such opportunity is kept open, upon the only principle upon which good government can justly exist, namely, that all the powers of government should be wisely exercised so as to give the greatest good to each and all of its citizens without injury to any.

In regard to the unfortunate situation which confronts the Republican party in the state of Colorado, I would say that if I am honored with the nomination and election as a United States senator from this state, it is my purpose to represent not any faction or any particular set of men, but to act as the impartial representative and mouthpiece of the economic and political interests of the whole people of the entire state of Colorado. Arbitrary Power Defeating the People's Will in Conventions Denounced. I do, however, at this time, unhesitatingly affirm as my humble opinion, that the powers of government are derived from the just consent of the governed; that such was the purpose of the constitutional safeguard of free speech and free press; that all body gatherings and conventions should be free from the taint of fraud, collusion and unreasonable exercise of arbitrary power, and should be so constituted and conducted as to express not the will of the bosses, cr the dictates of a faction, but the will of the majority of the whole people, EXPRESSED BY THE INDIVIDUAL DIRECTLY, in the accomplishment of their high purposes and achievements for the advance of our civilization and the securing of enlightened freedom.

Realizing that the Negro voters have many important issues peculiarly their own in this campaign and that it is necessary for them to be acquainted with these issues and their purport in order to vote intelligently and to the best interest as an important factor in the body politic of this great commonwealth, to meet this need a bureau of information will at once be opened at 21st and Arapahoe where facts and figures and all kindred political information touching the Negro vote throughout the nation may be obtained at first hand. The committee is arranging to have convenient offices where all the leading newspaper of the state and nation will be acceptable to visitors at all times. Correspondence will be kept up with all the Negro headquarters in the U. S. to the end that our friends, members and visitors may be in touch with the political situation from day to day throughout the nation. Stationery will be furnished those who care to while away a few moments; in fact everything will be done to make this a pleasant and profitable place for ladies and gentlemen to visit who desire direct information as to the status of the Negro in the political world. We would be pleased to have our friends call before the primary election, Sept. 10th, 1912. We may be able to advise you as to the best persons to support and those most deserving of your aid. Generally speaking this bureau is Democratic in politics. If you are a Democrat, come early and join us; if not, drop in and convert us. Strangers and visitors in the city made welcome. (Signed) JAS.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The editor recently spent some time inspecting the class work of two great institutions, the University of Wisconsin and Tuskegee Institute, the famous school established by Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, Ala., for the education of negroes, and in which all the teaching is done by negroes. In many of their features the two institutions present striking contrasts, but perhaps in no respect do they differ more widely than in the quality of the teaching; and in this respect the negro school has a very decided advantage. The skill shown by the teachers at Tuskegee is incomparatively greater than that of the teaching force at the University of Wisconsin. At Tuskegee, when a student recites he stands erect, and says something that has a definite, beginning, aim and end; and he makes his statements without interference or help from the teacher. Then he is quizzed by the other students. At Madison, the students do not stand to recite, and many of them do not sit; they loll or loaf in a half reclining position. As a rule, if any recitations are made they are read from the note book in the hand of the student, but most of the alleged recitation work is done on the co-operative plan; the teacher and the student collaborate to produce a result, the student's contribution to which in many cases is limited to "yes" or "no," or at best consists of finishing out a sentence which the teacher has almost completed, the teacher not infrequently responding with approval "eg-zacktly," or "very good." When a student begins a recitation de novo—a rare occurrence—he usually introduces it with "Why" or "Well," and often closes with the rising inflection—American Journal of Education. Problems of home life, the needs of the negro in rural communities, health and better school facilities were discussed at the sixteenth annual session of the Hampton Negro conference. The conference was called to order by Maj. R. R. Moton. Jackson Davis, supervisor of negro rural schools in Virginia, said that in 18 counties of the state the school term was lengthened one month one year, and nine new buildings erected. $13,744.16 raised by the colored people in these counties to aid in the support of their schools during the year. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones gave a review of facts culled from the recent census. Prof. J. M. Gandy of the Negro Organizing society, stated that 32,228 of the 48,114 negro farm operators in Virginia own 2,238,220 acres. He said that improved methods would make the colored farmers realize as much as white farmers. In speaking of the rush of the negroes to the cities, Dr. George E. Haynes of Fisk university gave the following causes: Divorce of the negro from the soil; growth of commercial and industrial centers; legislation affecting city and urban conditions; relations of landlord and tenant; influence of employment agents; exaggerated stories; restlessness. The part that the colored minister can play in racial uplift was discussed at length. M. W. Reddick, Americus, Ga.; Dr. J. J. France, Portsmouth, Va.; Mrs. G. W. Cook, Washington; Mrs. Butler Wilson, Boston; C. G. Spaulding, Durham, N. C.; the Rev. A. A. Graham, Phoebus, Va.; W. T. B. William, and Capt. Allan Washington were among others who took part in the discussion. A very suggestive article on the race problem in South Africa was recently published in the Empire Review, a British publication of wide colonial circulation. The article was written by Mr. Henry Smith, who says in part: "The racial problems of South Africa are rapidly assuming gigantic proportions and every fact which comes to light indicates that the Britton and Boer will now have to decide upon a definite course of action in regard to the future of the country. For many years we have witnessed the growth of the colored population and the decrease of the white races. South Africa is becoming blacker and browner every year. The disproportion between the white and the colored races is increasing every year. If the Union of South Africa goes forward exactly as it has during the last seven years it will fifty years hence contain roughly 3,000,000 whites and 12,000,000 colored people. If we take all British South Africa and not merely the Union the preponderance will be far more overwhelming." Man can build a house, but only a woman can make it a home for him. The colored National Democratic league, represented by fifty-five delegates, was in session at Baltimore during the national Democratic convention. The league is said to represent 100,000 colored voters organized into twenty-nine clubs. The effectiveness of these votes will be measured, of course, by their geographical locations. All Saints Episcopal church (colored) of St. Louis recently gave an offering of $50 to help liquidate the indebtedness of a white church. Because the bureau of census at Washington insisted that mulattoes be enumerated in the last census there has been a genealogical mix-up, the negro being the loser from a numerical standpoint. Investigations show that the statistics just issued for publication by the department of commerce and labor class thousands of negroes with what has been officially designated as "foreign or mixed parentage." Had the bureau of census designated all of African descent under the heading of "Negro" figures would show that negroes constitute a much larger percentage of population. For instance, Greater New York is put down as having a negro population of 91,709, when all told, there are at least 100,000 citizens of color in the various boroughs. The census people claim that there are 22,000 negroes in Brooklyn, although it was conceded by those familiar with the population of this city that from 27,000 to 30,000 negroes reside across the bridge. The census bureau in its statistics specifies the country's population under the following divisions: "Native parentages," "foreign or mixed parentages," "foreign born whites," "negroes," and "all other." Thousands of citizens in the state of New York and throughout the country have been classed under "foreign or mixed parentage," because mulattoes were enumerated, when they should have been put down as negroes. The opinion of the census bureau of what was a negro and what was a mulatto was very confusing and caused thousands of negroes who were not mulattoes to class themselves as such. The census bureau's instructions were that the term black included all negroes of full blood, and that the term mulatto included all not of full blood, but who had a perceptible trace of negro blood. Hundreds and hundreds of negroes who were not black, neither were they mulattoes, classed themselves as citizens of mixed parentage, being so confused by the complex instructions of the census bureau. Therefore, in the mentioning of these negroes, they are put in the "foreign or mixed parentage" class—New York Age. By will of Catherine Simons, a colored woman who spent most of her life as a cook, several Boston institutions are to receive bequests from her estate of $6,000. The will leaves $500 to St. Monica's Home for Sick Colored Women and Children of Boston, $500 to the Church of the Holy Trinity, the largest Episcopal church in this city. There are small bequests, $500 to the Home for Aged Colored Women in Boston, $500 to St. Augustine's church, Boston, $500 to Woodlawn cemetery in Everett, Mass., and to relatives. The residue is left in trust with ex-Gov. Frank B. Weeks of this city, the income to be devoted to charitable purposes at his discretion. Miss Simons in her early days was a slave. She worked as a domestic for many years in the homes of Middletown families. In Boston she was cared for during her last days by friends. She did much for the poor of her race. Distant relatives are making a contest on the ground that she was of unsound mind. All the indications point to a bumper cotton crop for this year. This item of news is second in importance only to the paramount and cheering fact that the watermelon crop is all that could be desired, and the country, therefore, is safe! On with the dance, let joy be unconfined! Now that Champion Jack Johnson has blighted another "white hope," and thereby inflated his own bank account, he has opened up a cafe in Chicago, whose fixtures and appointments cost something like $50,000. Running a cafe as a side line seems to have long been a mania with prize fighters. Nine-tenths of the ring masters have tried it—and come to grief. It is predicted that in going into that line himself, Lit'l Arthur has established a "rat hole" which in time will devour more money than he can make. However, when the game is over, John will have the consolation of reflecting, "I have had my fling." There will be no color line drawn at the cafe, but it is doubtful if its negro patrons will be very numerous. Everything is so fine and so costly that it would bankrupt even a well-to-do negro to loiter around there for a day or two. We can't stay there an hour—Old Hickory. No one has ever yet strained their back muscles breaking bad habits. Only silly bachelors joke about marriage. Perhaps you once were the "under dog," the "downtrodden race," but now you stand forth in the glorious light of liberty and all indications are that some of you will triumph, rising superior and dominant in the possession of all that goes to make a people honored and blessed. We are not prophets, we have only a vague idea of the millenium, but our hopefulness and belief in the courage and ability of our people, cause us to take this optimistic view of present tendencies. Illinois Chronicle. YOUNGEST OF HER SET WIFE OF MEXICAN AMBASSADOR BABY OF DIPLOMATIC CORPS. Senora Calero Plans Important Innovation, Marking Departure in Capital Social Matters—To Establish Home in Suburbs. Senora Calero, wife of the Mexican ambassador to the United States, is the youngest woman who ever occupied such a lofty position in the diplomatic corps at Washington, with the sole exception of Miss Elverson of Philadelphia, who married M. Patrenotre, the French ambassador, in 1895. Miss Elverson was 22 when she was wed to the bachelor France, Senora U.S. CAPITOL diplomatist from France. Senora Calero, who was Miss Jovita Angela Charles of Saltillo, Mexico, was less than 24 when she was married a few months ago to the brilliant young statesman from the southern republic. She is partially English and possesses the soft blonde hair and rosy complexion of the Briton, with the fire and vivacity of the Latin. Senor Calero is the youngest ambassador now serving at this capital, and is about 40. He was married before and there are eight children, the oldest a boy of 14, named for him Manuel, and the youngest a pretty little girl of 5, who is called Luz, meaning light. Senora Calero has planned an important innovation and one which marks a departure in social matters. She will establish a home in the western hills of the city and leave the embassy, which is now almost in the heart of the business district, for the business offices and for the large state functions which must be given every season. The Mexican embassy was purchased nearly 25 years ago by Senor Romero, and it was then in fashionable residential Washington. Now a grocery store, a big apartment house and a telephone station are its closest neighbors. For this reason Senora Calero has divorced the official amenities and the public business of the embassy from her home, and this program, say the prophets, will soon be followed by public men in Washington. There has long been agitation about the president leaving the White House and getting a home in the West End, leaving the historic old mansion for offices and for banquets, receptions and all fetes of an official and semi-official character to be given in the splendid state parlors of the mansion. It is stated that this same program will be followed by the British and Austrian embassies next winter. They will get new homes and leave the present buildings, which their respective governments own in the business section, for offices and state functions. The ambassador and his wife left a few days ago for Mexico, where they will remain until autumn. CONSCIENCE FUND IS LARGE Has Now Reached a Total of $431,807 —First Contribution Received in 1811. The still, small voice of conscience, pleading with Americans who, in various ways, had defrauded the United States government, brought to the federal treasury during the fiscal year 1912, just closed, a total of $6,514. This amount came from several hundred people, the identity of all unknown, and makes an aggregate of $431,801 thus paid into the treasury. While it is popularly supposed that these contributions are placed in a separate fund, or what is familiarly known as the "conscience fund," there is in reality no such distinct account piling up in the vaults of the government. As the money is received it is immediately turned into the general fund of the treasury and expended the same as any other receipts. The conscience contributions range from a few cents to thousands of dollars. The largest received during the last fiscal year was $2,000, while the greatest sum ever received was $35,000 a number of years ago. These anonymous contributions represent payments for customs duties withheld, undervaluations, the use of concealed postage stamps, and doubtless an infinite number of other things known only to the senders. The first contribution was received in 1811, the second in 1827. Ever since the latter year they have been coming with increasing regularity. On Abandoning Pets A great many people are honestly and sincerely fond of animal pets. A great many more think they are, but are not. What they mistake for affection is merely selfishness—a desire to possess pets and to use or abuse them at their pleasure. The season is approaching when the Humane Society and humanely inclined people have a great annual problem to contend with—the tendency of people to abandon their pets—cats and dogs, mainly—when leaving the city on their vacations. Leaving a dog, a cat or a bird to die from starvation, or to be put out of its misery by an official executioner, is a cruelty that cannot be excused. RECORD DELUGE AT CAPITAL All records for rainfall in the city of Washington were broken the other afternoon. During 45 minutes, between 6 and 6:45 o'clock, the water fell in torrents all over the District of Columbia and when the official forecaster at the weather bureau went to his rain guage he found that in that three-quarters of an hour there had been 2.5 inches of water. Maintained uniformly all over the 70 square miles of the District, this means that 421.143,333 cubic feet of water fell, and that the amount of water thrust upon the jaded and sweltering capital in less than an hour was something like 3,162,000,000 gallons. But this was not all of the waterfall. It continued raining into the night and the official weather bureau record of the rainfall from 6 o'clock until 8 o'clock—two hours—was 2.8 inches. Most of it fell in 45 minutes. The previous record for Washing- tion was 2.29 inches in one hour in October 20, 1910. Again on July 12, 1910, there was 1.20 inches of rainfall in 30 minutes, and on July 12, 1911, there was 0.84 inches of rainfall recorded in 15 minutes. "It was an ideal afternoon for a big deluge," said the official forecaster. "The mercury went up to 94, making it the warmest day of the summer in Washington, and there was no wind— ideal conditions for a storm. Our records show that the heavy rain of the day was local to Washington, only a trace having fallen in New York." The model sewer system of Washington groaned under the weight of water during the 45 minutes when the storm was at its height. They rebelled and refused to carry off the storm and streets were flooded above the curbing, while cellars throughout Washington were flooded a foot—something that has not occurred in years. CONGRESSMAN PLAYS A JOKE Sabath of Illinois "Puts One Over" an Astute Member From New York. During the hot spell, just past, Washington's one and only roof garden became suddenly the center of attraction for members of congress marooned here on the sweltering nights. Not less than 50 of the legislators were assembled in little knots of four or five. In one group sat John J. Fitzgerald of New York. At another table was William Calder, the only Republican from Greater New York. Far over in the corner was Adolph Sabath of Illinois, the villain of this story. Calling a waiter, Mr. Sabath scribbed a few lines on a card. "Take this to Mr. Calder," said he. The note read as follows: "Dear Bill: Please let me have twenty, quick. I'm in dutch. Hastily, Fitz." Mr. Calder dragged forth his wallet. He produced fifteen of the required sum and placing it in an envelope dispatched it to the other Brooklyn man's table with the following endorsement: "Fitz: Sorry, but this is the best I've got. Keep it. Bill." Mr. Fitzgerald was nonplussed. He looked across the broad roof at Calder, but failed to catch his eye. Then he wrote on the back of the envelope: "Dear Bill: I'm blessed if I know what you're up to, but if you want to put fifteen in cold storage I'm your party. Fitz." Mr. Sabath did not tell this story. Old Tavern to Go. Hungerford Tavern, where George Washington used to stay when he paused at Rockville, one of the suburbs of Washington, in his trips through this part of the country, is to be torn down. The quaint little old inn is to be replaced by a modern building. The Daughters of the American Revolution held an option on this property for a number of years, but it expired a short time ago, and they were unable to make payment. Besides George Washington, Hungerford Tavern held within its hospitable walls other famous men, including Gen. La Fayette, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Gen. Braddock, leader of the ill-fated expedition in the French and Indian war of 1765. Wm. Payton, an Englishman, built the tavern in 1750. For many years it has been owned by Miss Lucy B. Russell, of Washington. Etchings to Remain. Despite the criticisms made by Mrs. Joseph Pennell, biographer of the artist Whistler, of the manner in which the paintings and etchings by Whistler are hung in the new National museum, the pieces of art will not be removed. Mrs. Pennell has written an article for a New York newspaper, in which she contends that the grouping of the pictures is inartistic and that they are hung in badly lighted places. The paintings form a part of the Freer collection in the museum. Clever Deduction. "My son," explained the new client, "had a dog named Crimson.

New Currency Can Then Be Carried in a Pocket Book Without Folding—Only Objection Is Two Sizes of Money. Washington.—Despite the fact that the rise in the cost of living within recent years makes a dollar look smaller to most of us than it did a decade ago, the treasury department has decided to make the bills smaller than they are at present—not the purchasing power of the currency, but the size of the bills themselves. It has been decided that the paper money of today is too large for convenient handling. A dollar bill is now over three inches wide and a little over eight and one-quarter inches long. It is to be cut down to six by two and one-half inches. The treasury thinks that this reduced size of the currency will be vastly easier to handle and it is certain that it will mean a large annual saving on Uncle Sam's expense bills for paper. The economy on paper alone (for $240,000,000 bills issued per annum) will amount to 87,000. Then there will be an increased output of at least 25 per cent for a given amount of labor at the bureau of engraving and printing where all the paper money is manufactured. This gain, carried through all the processes of printing, examining, counting, drying, numbering, etc., will in itself represent more than $200,000 a year. The notes being smaller, less engraving will be required for the plates from which they are printed. Less ink will be used—an item more important than one might imagine. Taking other items into account it is reckoned that the total saving to the government by reducing the size of paper money will be in the neighborhood of $615,000 per annum. In addition, it is expected that the "life" of a dollar bill of the new size will be much longer than that of one of the present series. Requiring the less fold to be stowed away conveniently in a pocketbook or bill-fold of the ordinary size, it will last at least one-third longer in circulation, according to the estimate of treasury officials. Consequently there will be fewer notes to be redeemed as unfit for future use and the force of the redemption division in this city can be cut down sufficiently to save some $50,000 a year in salaries. When it is considered that it costs the government one cent to print a paper Dollar and put it into circulation, the importance of prolonging its "life" becomes manifest. Fortunately, the treasury has had an opportunity to make some advance tests, as they might be termed of the smaller money. All the paper money of the Philippines (which has replaced the old Spanish notes) has been printed at the bureau of engraving and printing in this city. It is of exactly the size now proposed for our own green backs and certificates—six by two and a half inches. Up to date it has proved satisfactory in all respects. The new paper money will be small enough to be carried flat—i. e., without folding—in a pocketbook of moderate size. It will also be very much easier to handle. Experiments made with bank clerks and tellers in this city recently have shown that the small notes do not cramp the fingers as do the old ones. They have also the additional advantage that banks can store in their vaults 25 per cent more of them within a given space. The only objection to the new departure seems to be that for some time there will be two sizes in circulation. But this difficulty is to be obviated as far as possible by preparing in advance large quantities of the small notes, which, on a given date, will be changed for the big ones at subtreasuries and other large financial institutions throughout the country. By this means it is hoped that all the "large" bills will be collected within two months after the small ones are put into circulation and that this plan will obviate the confusion which would probably result from the two sizes of bills being in circulation at one and the same time. In addition to changing the size of the bills it is also planned to reduce the nineteen designs now on the currency to nine, using the same portrait on one denomination throughout. Thus, the $1 bill, whether treasury note, bank note or certificate, will bear the head of Washington in the center of its face. Its holder will thus know the denomination without looking at the figures and cashiers of banks and others who handle great quantities of money will be enabled thereby to detect counterfeits more readily. MANY VISIT MOUNT VERNON. The visitors to the home of Washington, Mount Vernon, during the past year have numbered 113,000, the total receipts reported from the fees amounting to $28,250, which will be used for the general expenses incurred in preserving Mount Vernon. A new $8,000 pier has been ordered by the Mount Vernon Ladies' association. The wharf at the present time is a wooden one and is beginning to rot. The new wharf is to be of a substantial character. The ladies have to cut their plans for improvements according to their cloth, and sometimes run pretty short of funds. WASHINGTON MONUMENT BUILD ER DEAD. There died recently in Washington a man whose name ought to be known on both continents, and yet it is more than likely that his death scarcely caused a sigh from one of the thousands who have viewed his handiwork. This man was Thomas C. Purcell, builder of the Washington monument. He had the distinction of laying the second corner stone of the Washington monument and every other stone until the aluminum was placed on the apex. He was 88 years old, and has long been a resident of the District. He is said to have been the best and most artistic stone mason in the country. He was a native of Ireland, and came to this country when about 23 years of age. When he came to Washington he worked on the extension of the Capitol. He set the second cornerstone of the Washington monument in 1880 under direction of Col. Thomas Lincoln Casey. He personally set every stone in the exterior walls of the monument and supervised the setting of all the interior stones. He was familiar with its construction in every detail, and a few years ago published a nationwide famous history of the monument. The last work which Mr. Purcell supervised was the construction of the new naval observatory building at the reservation on Wisconsin avenue. Under his supervision the corner stones of the patent office, the old postoffice building, Cabin John Bridge, the war and navy department building and the pedestals of the Lincoln and McPherson monuments were laid. Mr. Purcell was personally acquainted with almost every president since the Civil war. He was a great favorite with Presidents Lincoln and Grant. He is servived by three sons and three daughters. CELEBRATE JULY 26. The postoffice department celebrated its Fourth of July on July 26. It was in 1691 that the progenitor of the present postoffice was planned, when William and Mary, by letters patent, granted to one Thomas Neale, master of the mint, constituted him the first postmaster general of America. Neale delegated the task of establishing a postal service in the wilderness of the new world to a versatile, energetic Scotchman, Andrew Hamilton. Hamilton's first service, a weekly post, was from Portsmouth, N. H., to Boston, Saybrook, New York, Philadelphia, Maryland and Virginia, though the service was dependent to a large degree upon the weather. The receipts of the postoffice of New York city during the year 1693 were £61. Then England bought it back in 1707, paying Neale for his grant £1,664. One hundred years ago the whole country had only 2,300 post offices, as against 59,580 in 1910. The total receipts in the earlier year were $551,694. Since then they have been multiplied more than 400 times to reach the $224,128,657 of 1910. And it was on July 26, 1775, that the postoffice department was really established, although it was then very much like it is now. MILITIA TO GET REVOLVERS. The present rate of delivery of automatic 45-caliber pistols, model of 1911, indicates that the ordnance department of the army will be able to begin to supply these pistols in quantities to the organized militia about December, 1912. In the meantime the ordnance department can supply to each state not to exceed 20 pistols, with extra magazines, holsters and ammunition, charging them to the quota of the state through the division of military affairs, or the pistol, holster and ammunition can be sold to the several states by the ordnance department for cash under the provision law. The price of the pistol will be $14.75; holster, $1.55; ball cartridge for automatic pistol, $20.75 per 1,000 and the price of the slide for carrying the holster on the officer's leather saber belt probably 20 cents. A leather pocket to carry extra magazine and web pockets to be worn on the field belt, and web field belt are being designed by the ordnance department PENSION OFFICE SWAMPED. The pension office is fairly swampy with applications. Over 425,000 have been filed under the new act passed May 11; hundreds are pouring in each day, and the pension office, which has to take care of them all, is undergoing the greatest rush of business that it has experienced since its foundation. The payments on the new pensions began July 4, and arrangements to pay them up to date just as fast as possible are being rushed. But because of the work incident to filing the applications, and then searching the records to determine whether they should be allowed, it has been absolutely impossible for the pension office to keep up with the task. Imagination Needed Massage. W. D. Howells, at a luncheon at Kittery Point, said of a certain popular novelist: "There is about as much poetry in him as there is in McMasters. "McMasters, you know, was walking with a beautiful girl in a wild New England wood. "What is your favorite flower, Mr. McMasters,' the girl as'ed softly. "McMasters thought a moment, then cleared his throat and answered: "Well, I believe I like the whole wheat best." Government's Entries on Right Side of Ledger. Almost Every Fire or Other Disaster in Which Property Is Destroyed Has Its Compensations for the Nation. The obvious fact is recalled that when the Titanic plunged two miles below the surface of the sea, the great ship carried with her an immense amount of wealth in various forms, among these a good deal of ready money, and of this money a considerable sum in United States notes, were promises to pay on presentation and demand, which shall not be paid, as they can never be presented. How much of this kind of money, or of any other kind, went down in that ill-fated ship can never be known. But the catastrophe brings to mind the cognate fact that there is scarcely a day in the year in which the government does not make money by the destruction of some of the evidences of its liability to be asked to pay. Where a government bill is mutilated, any portion of it may be presented for redemption. Provided three-fifths of the note can be identified, the full face value is returned to the owner, but if less than three-fifths can be identified only half is paid. Of course millions of money, or rather evidences of the government's obligations to pay money, are swept out of existence altogether. This happens every time a ship goes to the bottom of the sea or a great fire occurs. The treasury department issues statistics covering these points. In the midst of the Civil war the government issued more than $400,000,000 of legal tender notes. There are now outstanding $3,000,000 of these notes in denominations of $1 and $2. Most of this is undoubtedly destroyed or held by collectors, and will never be presented for redemption. During the war the government issued fractional currency paper money to the extent of $369,000,000. Of this currency more than $15,000,000 is still found in the accounts of the treasury and little of it will ever be presented for redemption. For government use in the Civil war notes bearing compound interest were issued to the amount of $267,000,000, of which about $160,000 has never been presented for redemption. During the war there were issued demand notes amounting to $60,000,000, and of this $53,000 has never been presented for redemption. Besides this the government from time to time sends out checks to meet obligations for sums as low as a dollar. A great many of these are never presented for redemption, but are kept as souvenirs by the receivers, and furthermore a great many banks receive checks in payment of interest in bonds, and sometimes neglect to present them for redemption, for years, if for small amounts, forever. This is all like finding money for the government, and with us the government and the public are synonymous terms, the people are the gainers. Two Little Birds Stowaways I wa. riding along the shore of Great Bear lake in Utah one afternoon and, coming suddenly over a rise of ground, surprised a grebe in the edge of the tules. She swam into the lake, turning and calling repeatedly. Then two little grebes appeared and, swimming low with only their heads and backs visible, hurried after their mother. As they overtook her, each one reached out and, catching the feathers of her back in their beaks, they drew themselves alongside and quickly huddled under her wing, completely hidden. Had I not been a spectator to the act, I should never have suspected her of carrying two little "stowaways" as she hurried off.—J. Alden Loring, in the Outing Magazine. Forgetfulness Causes Four Deaths Forgetfulness Causes Four Deaths. A terrible accident occurred the other night at a level crossing on the line from Paris to Tours, France. A woman who kept the crossing gates forgot a new express service which began the evening in question, and did not shut the barrier against the public. As the train was arriving at full speed a deaf woman and her little boy aged two went to cross the track. Suddenly realizing the danger, the gatekeeper rushed to the rescue of the woman and child, and a baby which she herself was looking after, ran after her. All four were struck by the engine and killed outright. On Hand. "Was your wife in the suffrage parade?" asked Murbyb, meeting Jelliffe on the street. "You bet she was!" said Jelliffe enthusiastically. "Why, she is the flag bearer for her chapter!" "Mercy!" cried Morrowby.

Country Is Said to Be Worth Six Times as Much as It Was a Century Ago—Money Unequally Distributed. Within the last twenty years over 120 millionaires have died in the United Kingdom. Between them they have left over 230,000,000 pounds, or an average of nearly two millions sterling each. These are huge sums, but the income of even the most indulged of millionaires is a trifle compared with the income of the nation as a whole. Among us, official figures show, we inhabitants of the United Kingdom are making some two thousand millions sterling a year. Our national capital works out at the useful sum of eleven and a half thousand millions. The eleven thousand millions represents private property; the half—five hundred millions—is the estimated value of public property such as government and municipal buildings, warships, public parks, etc., down to the postoffice public inkpots. How does Britain's wealth compare with that of the Britain of a century ago? The answer is simple. The Britain of 1912 is worth just six times as much as the Britain of 1812. The official estimate of that year made the nation's wealth rather less than two thousand millions. How much does the kingdom possess in hard cash? Very little in comparison. If an Englishman as rich as Rockefeller decided to turn all his wealth into golden sovereigns and half-sovereigns, nobody else in the kingdom would have one. There is only a hundred and thirteen millions in sovereigns and half-sovereigns in circulation, only twenty-four millions in silver, and only three in copper—a total in all of a hundred and fifty millions, which is a trifle in comparison with the nation's capital and annual income. The explanation is that paper—in the form of checks, drafts, bonds, etc.—plays a very great part in our national finance. Its importance is shown by the fact that though Britain possesses only a hundred millions' worth of gold, some thirteen thousand millions' worth of checks go annually through the London clearing house. As for the wealth possessed by Britons individually, there are, according to the official estimate, nearly 300 people who are receiving over £40,000 a year, some 800 people are the lucky possessors of incomes of between £20,000 and £40,000; nearly 3,000 people have incomes of from £10,000 to £20,000, while those who get from £5,000 to £10,000 a year number about 7,000. In all, between 11,000 and 12,000 people are enjoying incomes of over £5,000 a year. To deal with less fortunate people, there are some 1,200,000 income taxpayers—1,200,000 people, that is, are in receipt of incomes or salaries of over £160 a year. For every person in receipt of an income of over £5,000 a year there are twenty-nine who are making between £700 and £5,000, and eighty whose incomes lie between £160 and £700—London Answers.

Cruel Laws of a Past Age. It is almost impossible to hang a woman in this country, but in old time England this was not the case. King George III, once offered twenty-three women offenders an alternative to hanging. They might, should they choose, be transported instead. Six of them voted for hanging. Many women were then hanged for less crimes than smashing windows. George Paston, for instance, notes the fate of a woman left husbandless by the press gang: "Rendered desperate, she entered a shop and took up a piece of linen . . . but laid it down again. For this she was condemned to death, and was hanged, we are told, with her infant at her breast." Agriculture in Alaska. Although the Eskimos know next to nothing of agriculture, there is no reason why good crops of grain, vegetables and fruits should not be grown in Alaska. The government has three or four experiment stations there, and all the evidence goes to show that farming can be carried on with success to a more or less limited extent. A number of good strawberries, which yield well, have been developed, and winter rye and wheat can be grown wherever the snow fall is deep enough to protect it from the severe winter temperature, which means from $2\frac{1}{2}$ to $3\frac{1}{2}$ feet. Good potatoes have been grown and herds of cattle and sheep are doing well. BOILED RICE AND LETTUCE Excellent Food Combination That Is Especially Appealing on an Extremely Hot Day. A usual combination of special food value is cold boiled rice heaped on cress or lettuce. In the center of the rice put some slices of pickled red beets and sprinkle the whole with chopped olives before adding the completing touch of a rich mayonnaise. Or turn out little molds of cold-boiled spinach upon cress or lettuce, decorating with slices of hard-boiled eggs and olives. Where lettuce alone is at hand vary the dressing instead of the principal ingredient. Combine for the sauce half a cup of cream, the yolks of two eggs, a dozen capers and four teaspoonfuls of tarragon vinegar. Beat thoroughly and pour over the lettuce, tossing the latter with a fork to mix the sauce thoroughly through. A salad that the men folk will rejoice in—that sex as a rule being partial to onion—is made in this way: Half a dozen sweet green peppers, with the seeds removed in the usual way, and one large Bermuda onion, all of these minced fine by passing them through a meat chopper. Add salt, pepper, French mustard, a cup of olive oil and the juice of one lemon, in which a one-inch piece of preserved ginger has been minced very fine. Serve on lettuce, very cold. A novel shrimp salad of continental origin calls for two dozen or more asparagus tips, cooked very tender and cut into short lengths. To this add an equal appearing quantity of shrimps, cooked and cut up. Add a mayonnaise flavored with a few capers, and serve on lettuce, which may be arranged as a border. The basis of many a tasty salad is cream cheese, one recipe applying to it being as follows: Chop very fine some olives and green peppers, using enough cream cheese to arrive at an agreeable smoothness, and serve on cress or lettuce which has been dipped in French dressing. Or chopped olives and pickles can be stirred into the cheese in the same way. USING WATER TO COOL FOOD Temperature May Be Lowered Appreciably by Arrangement Simple In the Extreme. There are many ways of lowering temperature by utilizing the fact that water when evaporating draws off heat from surrounding objects. If a pitcher of water be wrapped with a cloth which is kept saturated and exposed to a draft of air the temperature of the water in the pitcher will be lowered by several degrees. A receptacle in which food is placed may be cooled in the same way. Take a wooden box with a sound bottom made of one piece and invert it. Tack a layer of cotton batting over it and cover with some coarse cloth. It is now to be kept wet by some contrivance that will furnish an automatic drip. The writer used for this purpose an old aluminum pan which had in it a half dozen very tiny holes, and when filled with water it supplied just enough water. Raspberry Jam. Now being the season for making raspberry jam, the following recipe is offered as a suggestion: Take a pound of sugar—or, better still, a pound and a quarter—to each pound of fruit. Macerate the raspberries for three or four hours in powdered sugar. Then put them into a preserving pan with half the sugar and cook-them on a quick fire. When the raspberries have melted pour the whole on a rather fine sieve, so that the extremely small seeds cannot pass through. Rub them through the sieve with a wooden spoon. Put the pulp back into the preserving pan with the other half of the sugar. Boll up quickly until the jam has attained a suitable consistence. Take the pan off the fire, allow to cool and pour into pcts.—Ladies' World. Ecg Cutlets or Croquettes. Make a thick white sauce of two tablespoons butter, four tablespoons flour and three-quarters cup milk. Season highly. When still hot stir in one well-beaten egg. Add the finely chopped whites of four hard-boiled eggs and the yolks forced through a sieve. A little chopped pickle, green pepper or parsley may be added. Cool. Shape into egg shapes and flatten out to represent cutlets or not, as desired; dip into raw egg and fine crumbs and fry a delicate brown. Serve in a nest of parsley or shredded lettuce. Taffy. Put a tablespoonful of butter in a granite saucepan, and pour over it one pound of sugar and two tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Let the mixture stand all right. If it looks very dry in the morning, add a little more vinegar. Boil the mixture without stirring it until it hardens when dropped into cold water. Then put in a teaspoonful of vanilla, little by little, stirring it well into the candy, and then pour into buttered tins to get cold. Raspberry Vinegar. Turn over a quart of ripe raspberries, mashed, a quart of good cider vinegar. Add one pound of white sugar, mix well, then let stand in the sun four hours. Strain it, squeeze out the juice and put in a pint of good brandy. Seal up in bottles, alr-tight, and lay them on their sides in the cellar. Cover them with sawdust. When used, pour two tablespoons to a tumbler of ice water. A Big Gift to the Public THE DENVER REPUBLICAN DELIVERED TO SUBSCRIBERS AT SIXTY CENTS A MONTH.

DENVER, COLORADO THE LADY'S DRESS The illustration on the left shows a dainty gown of cloud gray delaine and has an effective trimming caused by a yoke and sleeve strap of fancy delaine, pale pink or blue would be pretty; this has the lower part set to it with slight fulness; narrow lase or fancy braid edges the trimming; a gray silk cord girdle draws the gown in at waist. Materials required: Five yards delaine 40 inches wide, three yards 28 inches wide, two and a half yards edging. The second is a handsome style suitable for satin, face cloth, or cashmere; it is a loose, elegant gown and has a large collar composed of a piece of lightly embroidered material edged with a band of satin to which a silk fringe is attached; the cuffs are made to match. Materials required: Five and one-half yards 44 inches wide, two yards fringe three-quarters yards satin 20 inches wide. Shade and Material Both Are Employed in Costumes That Have "Official" Sanction. The "sweet unreasonableness" of which the poet sings is exemplified by the French modiste who invariably emphasizes tulle and lace and all filmy fabrics for winter and then introduces velvet, and sometimes fur, on the summer costume. Fashion's vagaries are inconsistent but beautiful, so why object? Black velvet is one of the prime favorites today. It is used for all types of sashes and girdles, affording contrast and giving a slender appearance at the waist line. It is practical on account of its defiance of dust and hard wear, and its ability to harmonize with all colors is too great to figure. Therefore the black velvet has an excuse other than beauty for being. Most noticeable is the use of black velvet as facings for hats. The newest models now show entire undersurfaces of black velvet, or wide bands on wire applied with perfect smoothness to the edge of the brim. In this manner the bright color of a hat can be toned down and dissociated, so to speak, from the gown. The black also brings out the brightness of the eyes, the whiteness of the skin, and is generally becoming. The Sailor Blouse. The middy blouse is enjoyed by the younger generation. The yoke idea is repeated on many of the smart models for the athletically bound woman. The enlarged armhole is another feature, more of the last season than the future, to be sure, which has alided in making a shirt intended for strenuous arm motion comfortable. Although the high manish linen stiff collar with the jaunty little four-in-hand tie is very trig, it is not nearly as comfortable as the soft turned-down collar finished with a soft silk cravat. Patch pockets should be just as plentiful as possible. Ropes of Pearl and Jet Ropes of pearls are sometimes three yards long and when these break by catching in the handle of a sunshade or by some other accident it is not always easy to recover all of them, and in the case of real pearls a single lost one may represent a large sum of money. That may be one reason that the chains are now in less costly materials. Jet is immensely in favor for this purpose, and jet ornaments are coming in as a consequence of the craze for a touch of black in all the newest gowns. Narrow Pleated Skirts According to the Dry Goods Economist, the fall lines of dresses include many models made in some form of pleated skirt. In every instance, however, they are straight and narrow. The pleats extend to the waist in some of the samples, but other styles show pleated panels or deep pleated flounces. When the pleats extend only to the knees a modified panier drapery finishes the upper skirt section. Polo Blouses. No discussion of cool clothes for hot weather is complete without a reference to those admirable shirtwais made of white silk which are called polo blouses. They are another addition to the mannish garments which women have garnered into their wardrobes. Extreme of Fashion, but the Ensemble Is Not Always of the Best. There is a revival of the red head. A genuine carrot shade is the favorite of the moment, and women have it regardless of their eyes and com- plexion. If they but knew how they looked! Most tinted hair is artificial looking, but there is something about the vivid red hue that makes the most refined woman look like an adventures, coarsens her features and is generally unbecoming. This truth has not the least effect on those it most concerns; but they might refrain from tampering with their hair if they knew how much the artificiality added to their years. It hardens the features and gives a strained look to most faces; it dulls the complexion and makes all but the extreme blonde look sallow.—Ex change. DAINTY HAT A The brim of this hat is of pale blue Tagel, the crown of fine lace over pale blue silk; it is drawn up into a puff and set to the brim under satin ribbon, which is arranged in a bow in front. Under the Brim. Have you noticed the hat trimmings' new position? Look under the brim if you would find it. Roses, tiny bunches of field flowers, flat bows of velvet ribbon, plumes and aigrettes are now decorating the hat underneath the wide brim. And it is delightfully becoming. Paul Pooret introduced the large flat hat with the underbrim trimmed as suggested. Other milliners took up the becoming style and the feature is firmly established in the millinery realm. Black as Decoration. The present craze for black and white has got into the house, and black sofa cushions, and table covers, elaborately embroidered, of course, are now reported. The pin cushion may be black, in a white bedroom, and a footstool with delicate embroidery of a contrasting color, will also add to the effectiveness of the room. Black satin is the best for this purpose. Aluminum Thread Bags. Bags and purses are being crocheted of a new aluminium thread that looks like silver and that is said not to tarnish. The thread is used with cut steel beads or without the beads and costs 40 cents a spool. The bags that are mixed with the beads are particularly handsome.
