REGISTER NOW, at Court House, If You Want to Vote at Primaries, Sept.10 THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY ROOSEVELT AND THE NEGRO VOL. XVIIII. ROOSEV ANI The following editorial appeared in the Tonopah Daily Bonanza, Wednesday, August 14th: Colonel Roosevelt and Senator Newlands should be placed in the same class when it comes to their opinions as to the rights of the Negroes of the United States. Senator Newlands would return all Negroes to Africa, while Roosevelt declares he will have none of that race in his own personally conducted progressive party. The stand taken by both gentlemen is not surprising when it is considered that every move made is with the intent to play politics and not administer justice to all concerned. Roosevelt, at the recent so-called progressive convention, refused to allow the Southern Negro delegates to sit in the convention. But two months before he appeared at the Chicago convention and with his lieutenants tried by every means possible to secure the votes of the southern Negroes that he might receive the regular party nomination. Yet, in the last convention, the keynote was "justice for all," and in the same breath the keynoters ordered the colored men from the south to stand outside; ordered them from the hall and in their places seated the white delegates. The colored delegations who were thrown out of the convention appealed to Roosevelt for justice. They were informed that the situation could not be changed and the former president even refused to discuss the question. Where the colored delegates had been eagerly sought two months before, the situation had changed itself until the colored man was informed in words that were not polite, that he was not wanted. The sudden change in front on the part of Roosevelt was what he believed to be a master stroke in securing the votes and support of the voters of the South. It was an attempt to play upon the sympathies of the white southerners, and no thought was given as to the justice of the proceedings nor to the rights of the southern colored delegates. Several years ago when Roosevelt occupied the White House, he catered to the colored vote by inviting Booker T. Washington, the famous colored educator, to dine with him. This act, as has since been proven, was pure'y one of po- litical purpose, and the truth is borne out by the recent action of Roosevelt in declaring he desired only the support of the "educated and clean" Negro. It is true that all Negroes are not educated, but statistics show that a greater per cent of the colored population of the United States of the present day have secured a fairly good education when compared to the colored population of years ago. When the Negroes were freed from bondage they faced what appeared to be unsurmountabe difficulties. These difficulties are being slowly overcome, and it is in the endeavor of the Negro to advance himself and his race that Colonel Roosevelt objects: While his "Lily White" methods may have gained him a few votes in the South, it has lost him many more, and the principal loss is not confined to the ranks of the colored men, for the whites who believe in justice do not concur in the action of the progressive presidential candidate who is seeking to advance himself to the detriment of others. Colonel Roosevelt, in the president's office, made a grand stand appeal for the support of the colored voters. President Taft, on the other hand, while not adopting the grand stand methods, has taken a stand that will result in assisting the Negroes to better their conditions. One of his first public statements, on assuming the presidential office, was that whenever the opportunity arose, and the colored population in the vicinity justified, he would appoint a colored man to public office. However, this has nothing to do with the actions of Roosevelt in his attempts to make the progressives a "white man's party". The result of this move will be eagerly watched with interest when the ballots are cast in November. NOTICE.

Tuesday, Sept. 10th. ADDRESS By President Booker Washington Before the Negro Business League At Institutional Church, Chicago, Wednesday, August 21, 1912 "There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the rest of their lives is bound in shallows and miseries." These words from Shakespeare have an especial application to our race at the present time. The men and women of our race of this generation hold in their hands the future of the generations that are to follow. This is in an especial sense true of the Negro business man and woman. If we do not do our duty now in laying proper foundation for economic and commercial growth, our children and our children's children will suffer because of our inactivity or shortness of vision. I want to say while I am on this subject that I have been surprised and delighted at the progress which has been made by colored business men in Chicago. As I drove down State street the other day for a mile and a half I am sure that two-thirds of the places of business I saw were conducted by colored men. If they were not owned by colored people they were at least patronized by them. I was equally surprised and delighted when I drove down Wabash avenue and through some of the abjoining streets to discover what handsome houses many of our people are living in. As I have had a chance to visit these houses I have been pleased to find how handsomely, even artistically, they were furnished and carefully and neatly they were maintained. It would be a revelation, almost a miracle, to our people of forty years ago to see the kind of homes in which their children were beginning to live. In fact, it would astonish a good many of our people in other parts of the country even today to see the progress of the colored people in Chicago. I do not think there is a city in our country, where there is a community of colored people living together in such numbers as you do here, which has made so rapid progress in so short a time, or where the opportunities are so good. Our great Creator has ordained that races and nations shall prosper in proportion as they find, develop and use the natural resource- es of the earth in promoting wealth, intelligence, happiness and justice. If I can, I want to sound a note of warning to the ten millions of Negroes throughout our country. We are now ten millions strong. This means a population nearly twice as large as the population of the Dominion of Canada. It is a population three millions greater than that of Belgium. It is greater than that of Holland and Switzerland combined, or the combined population of Norway, Sweden and Denmark. We have the advantage of many of the races of the old world in that we are citizens of a comparatively new country, whose, natural resources are just beginning, as it were to be discovered and developed. Our country is new and our race is new so far as freedom is concerned. Now is the time—not in some far-off future, but now is the time—for us as a race to prove to the world that in a state of freedom we have the ability and the inclination to do our part in owning, developing, manufacturing and trading in the natural resources of our county. If we let these golden opportunities slip from us in this generation, I fear they will never come to us in a like degree again. At the present time there are over 270,000,000 acres unused and unoccupied land in the South and West. In fact, one-half of the land in the South and two-thirds of the land in the West is still unused. Now is the time for us to become the owners and users of our share before it is too late. From ownership of the soil comes independence, self support, happiness and real manhood rights. If the white man can secure wealth and happiness by owning and operating a coal mine, brick yard, or lime kiln, why not more Negroes do the same thing? This is an era of specialization and organization. Our race should take heed of this and act. We shall be a potent force all directions in proportion as we organize and work together North and South. In racial unity, racial peace and cohesiveness and organization will be our strength and life. We should put behind us the day of childish things. All that I am here advocating and emphasizing does not mean the limitations or circumscribing of our race mentally, morally, civilly or in other directions, but it does mean real growth and real independence in all these directions. Growth in these economic directions will help the teacher, the minister, will help the school, the college, the university, the Sunday school, and school, and church, will help the lawyer, the doctor, the dentist, and add to our political independence. RACE NEWS Louisville, Ky.-The members of the Negro Outlook Committee are making a fight for additional playgrounds for colored children of the city. Representatives of the committee petitioned the Park Board a few days ago to equip the lot at 16th and Baxter streeta, and to provide additional facilities to those in Baxter Square. In order to give every candidate a square deal, read this paper next Saturday for instructions how to vote under the new primary law. Tuesday, Sept. 10. Charles Chappelle is the head of a project, and has interested several colored men in New York and Pittsburg, to form a business alliance between American Negroes and the natives of the Gold Coast, West Africa, to deal in gold, mahogany, cocoa and rubber. No company is to be formed, just each person putting in a certain amount to help to develop the Gold Coast. Chicago—A tract of 6000 acres near Whitehall, Mich., which formerly was owned by John Alexander Dowie, is to be occupied by a co-operative association composed of colored men, according to a report which reached Chicago from Zion City. Many colored men in Evanston and Chicago are said to have signed agreements to buy part of the land and occupy it during the summer months. The plan is to have each family build a small summer house for occupancy. Orlando, Fla.—James Crocker, of Birmingham, Ala., has been in the city all week representing his invention, an air motion engine, which he claims, with one dollars worth of oil, an engine, can be run 150 miles. He has his patent right papers with him, and many letters from financiers, making offers of various kinds. Mr. Crocker's ambition, however is to dispose of shares of stock at $10 a share to colored men and women, until enough stock is sold to finance the manufacture of the invention. If it is a success, as many believe it will be, Mr. Crocker will soon be living in an atmosphere of fame as well as surrounded by riches. Richmond, Va. August 17.—Virginia Christian, colored, seventeen years old, the first woman to be NO 51 put to death in the electric chair in Virginia, was executed early today. Governor Mann refused to yeild to the entreaties for clemency. The murderess was poor, sullen and ignorant, and she was as oblivious of her impending doom as though the electric chair was nothing more than an ordinary event in her everyday existence. Ministers had prayed with her, missionaries and social workeas had endeavored to awaken in her some spark of emotion in the hope that her conscience might show some sign of repentence and that this might be used as a plea for executive clemency. THE AX MAN. At San Antonio, Texas, no little excitement has been caused during the past year among the colored people on account of the frequent visit of the Ax Man who has, with his "little hatchet" or ax murdered at least a half score of people, and not one arrest has been made for such dasterly and outrageous butchery of human beings, in fact, but little effort has been made to capture the guilty by the loath officials of that city. Sheriff John Tobin has been the only one who has manifested a desire to run down the guilty but he has been very much handicapped in this respect by the city officials refusing to make a vigorous effort in lending aid. This caused the sheriff to deputize a dozen or more of colored men to guard and protect the colored citizens who live in the vicinity where the ax man has reigned, but the Chief of Police ordered the arrest of all deputies appointed and as a result the matter went to court, and the sheriff won out, and now those who were arrested has brought suit against the city for damages for their unjust arrests. Mayor Jones who has just recently took the oath of office, has dismissed every police officer and filled their places with men, whom it is hoped will do their duty in the protection of citizens regardless of color, he has also ordered a sufficient number of electric lights placed in the district where the ax man done his dirty work. The colored citizens jubilent over the actions of Mayor Jones, and it is hoped and believed that the new city officials will work in harmony with Sheriff Tobin in trying to apprehend the guilty offenders. The writer is glad to know that at least an effort is being made to give the colored citizens the protection they deserve.

Denver, Colo. ‘AFRO-AMERIGAN ° CULLINGS “Have you a man to take charge of our farm?” “We wish a young woman to teach domestic sclence in our city school.” “We need skilled mechanics to teach carpentry, wheelwrighting and blacksmithing.” “Negro nurses, men and women, are in great demand here in our town.” These are some of the many calls that assail the princt- pal of Tuskegee Institute at all sea- sons of the year. It is reasonably so. ‘The change of the trend of education among both white and black: the in- crease of wealth, and courage to ven- ture into business among’ Negroes; the higher and higher esteem into which the skilled Negro workmen are rising all make this call louder and more general. At Tuskegee Institute some thirty odd of these industries are taught. There are millinery, dressma- king, ladies’ talloring, upholstering and mattress-making, domestic sct- ence, laundering and gymnastics for Sirle; there are shoemaling, tailoring, wheelwrighting, carpentry, cabinetma- king, tinsmithing, printing, harne*s- making, mechanical and architectu“u drawing, mechanical, electrical aud steam engineering for boys; and there are dairying, swine raising, truck farm- ing, poultry rafsing, stock raising, floriculture, landscape gardening, vet- erinary science, fruit growing, and many other branches of industry, both mechanical and agricultural trades for both boys and girls, This again is the modern trend of things. Therefore let no one halt at the idea of young women entering the agricue tural trades. Moreover, experience and experiments at Tuskegee Institute are demonstrating that the young wo- man is just as apt and able a pupil with the machinery in the creamery, with the science of feeds in the poul- try yard, with packing and handling fruit in the orchard as* she is with grammatical syntax in the classroom, and just as quick and aggressive as is her young man classmate, to whom time and prejudice have hitherto re- stricted these trades. There have been several failures of co-operative effort to do business of one sort and another in New York in the past few years, but that should not deter our men and women from such efforts. Failures are, in a meas- ure, the necessary step to success, as it is by experience that we learn what 4s good and what is bad method. As we have few opportunities to learn business methods by growing up with the business we have to get the experl- ence the best way we can, even if it be through the sore ordeal pf failure after failure. It 1s said that Peter Cooper failed at a dozen things before he found the sign of success. Nearly every day we meet some man of the race who, having made a venture by himself, or in partnerships and fafled has no disposition to try again. He thus loses the capital he lost and the experience he gained in the losing of it. There is nothing but death in dis- couragement of any sort. Three men, sive men, ten men, with a hundred dol- lars apiece can start a good business of most any sort, and while letting one of them manage it, earn an independ- ent wage while the business grows. Plenty of them are beginning to do so here in New York and in other parts of the country. Try it, you!—New York Age. Greenville, S.

The eighth biennial convention of the National Association of Colored Women, held at Hampton Institute, Hampton Roads, Va., was pronounced the largest and one of the best in the history of the organization. The con- vention began last week with a dele- gation of over four bundred women from various parts of the United States. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter of New Bedford, Mass., was the presid- ing genius, and among many others seated on the platform with her were: Mrs. Booker T. Washington, vice-prest- dent-at-large; Mrs. Mary Church Ter- rell and Mrs. Lucy Thurman, honorary presidents; Mrs. Josephine B. Bruce, acting chairman of the auditing com- mittee; Mi-- Ida R. Cummings, corre- sponding secretary, and the various state presidents. Mrs. M. E. Steward of Louisville and Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley of St. Louis recorded the do- ings. Mrs. Eva T. Jenifer of Chicago was at her old post in charge of the ways and means committee, owing to the unavoidable absence of Mrs, Kath- erine D. Tilman of California. Mrs, Mary Handy, president of the Mite Missionary society, which is national ‘$n scope, were seated on the platform: ‘We gather from the reports of 1911 the total valuation of property owned by negroes and who paid taxes there- on for the current year in the follow- ange states is as follows: ee) ee oe ie a Arkansas ......-2+++++++--$20,500,000 Georgia ......veeeseoeeee+ 82,681,427 North Carolina..........+- 28,600,000 Virginia ........e+e+0++0++ 27,000,000 Texas ....e-eeeeceeeeeee+ 80,000,000 Oklahoma ........+++.+-. 662,000,000 The total value of all the property owned by the negroes in the United States will cover more than $600,000,- 000. Among the problems that the Na tional Federation of Women’s Clubs, soon to meet in Hampton, should take up for discussion and make a feature of Federation interest, 1s the work of domestic service as it affects our women. ‘There are so many sides to the domestic service problem that it is necessary to indicate the special phase when discussing it. The first phase {s, of course, the work of the wife in the home, and the work of the daughters as helpmates of the mother and as a preparation against the time when they as wives will have homes of their own. This is the highest call to domestic service. It is the founda- tion of the American state. It is sus- ceptible of infinite discussion. Every woman has ideas of home education for domestic service and what should be the character and scope of it, al- ‘eit the best people are coming to the sensible conclusion that the daughter, however wealthy, should have her edu- cation rounded out by a course in a domestic science school, Ike that of Pratt Institute, in Brooklyn, and such as 1s included in the courses of our own Hampton, Tuskegee and other in- ‘stitutes. The Woman's Federation could do a good service by emphastz- ing this phase of domestic service education, as the home life of tho negro, which depends so much upon the wife and mother, {s of vital .a0- ment. But the phase of domestic service as an occupation, as a livelihood, 1s also of great moment, as so many of our women, both young and old, have to take to {t as a matter of necessity if not of choice. To all such the best domestic science education {s of the greatest benefit and assures the best positions and wages. There are plenty of indications that negro women are not being attracted to domestic serv- ice as an occupation as formerly and that they are not giving the satisfac- tion the service calls for. The reason for this condition could be considered and discussed to advantage by the ‘Woman's Federation. A real race leader should be @ use- ful man, able to arouse his people to become interested in his fellow men in making conditions better and in up- lifting the human race, to see that each and every man enjoys the rights and privileges and blessings, as guar- anteed by the state ad national gov- ernments, We have been troubled too much with false leadership; men that were placed upon the pedestal of hon- or and “sold out” for selfish interests. ‘They have regarded self aggrandize- ment higher than general good. Such leaders ought to be relegated to the rear and place given to men of honor intelligence, integrity and character. It is a fact that the younger generation is no longer standing by the false lead- ers and the press and people are up in arms against him. With such a spirit, the coming years will note change that will work for the greatest good of the race. Let us keep up the fight for true leadership.—illinols Chronicle.

CONGRESS ENDS LONG SESSION TARIFF BOARD “KILLED” Washington.—Congress has closed another billion dollar session, but the exact total of the nation’s “cost of live ing” varies as it is seen through Re publican and Democratic eyes. The total appropriations for the fis- eal year 1913, which began July 1, 1912, amount to $1,019,636,143.66, as given to the Senate and House by Sen- ator Warren and Representative Fitz gerald, respectively chairmen of the two appropriation committees. It is conceded by both of these lead- ers that this is $7,046,000 less than the nation’s budget of 1912, but it re- mained for former Speaker Cannon, in behalf of the Republican forces of the House, to produce figures to show that the present Democratic Congress had actually appropriated more for general purposes than did the preceding Re publican Congress. Representative Cannon declared that out of the gen- eral total should be taken all expendi- tures made for the Panama canal. ‘With such deductions, he said, the to- tal appropriations for 1913 would be $990,656,143, as compared with a total of $981,122,881 appropriated for gen- eral purposes last year. Important Bills Passed. Among the more important laws en- acted during the session are the fok lowing: Abolishment by high taxation of the manufacture of white phosphorus matches. Eight-hour federal labor law. Prohibition against exportation of arms, coal or supplies to insurrection- ists in other countries. Granting commissions as ensigns to midshipmen on graduation from An- napolis naval academy.

Creation of children’s bureau in de- partment of commerce and labor. Increase of pension of Civil war vet- erans through tlie enactment of a ser- vice pension law. Other Features. Among other important features of the session were the following: The decision of the Senate that Wil- liam Lorimer had not been legally elected senator from Illinois, The beginning of impeachment pro- ceedings against Judge Robert W.

Douglas, Ariz—All Americans in Mexico will be killed by rebels after September fifteenth, is the declaration brought here from Col. Emilio P. Campa, a leader of Orozco's rebel army, who, with eight hundred men, is operating along the Southern Pa- cific of Mexico, below Nogales, Ari- zona. The word is brought here by vari- ous Americans who declare they re- ceived it directly from Campa. An only alternative given by the rebel leader is the resignation of President Madero. Based on this report received from ‘Thomas Holland, an ex-Arizona ranger, and from United States customs offi- cers, American Consul Dye of Agua Prieta, Mexico, wired the State De- partment at Woshington that Campa declares the State of Sonora will be devastated unless the Mexican Presi- dent resigns. Three hundred rebels are reported marching on the El Tigle mining camp, about sixty miles southeast of here, and a fight is expected.

At present the political horizon in county and state is a trifle misty, but the clouds will soon break away and the sun will display its bright orb to a multitude of admiring spectators. Then we shall see that Colorado has had one of the most prosperous years in its history. The earth is fairly burdened with its increase. Farmers are rejoicing, the market is steady and everybody is busy, and we have not as much to complain of as we thought. In the meantime every voter will be making hay if he gets registered and has his friends and neighbors to register, and like the farmer be ahead of the game. At the last election many voters could not express their choice because they neglected to register.

Get your accoutrement in order, the battle is more than half won when everything is in perfect readi- THE POLITICAL CHECKERBOARD. Faithful Office Worker Often Passed By By A. Rubinstine, New York The political checkerboard of Colorado is badly twisted and strewed with debris. It is no great wonder. Politics is business and business is politics. The two are so inseparably woven there is hardly any telling where one begins and the other ends. Corporations employ attorneys and men to look after the political end of their business and it is natural for these hired employés to do what they are paid for. Officeholders and taxpayers alike have interests to conserve. It is natural, therefore, that this trinity of interests should at times conflict and find themselves at different angles. The thing that seems fair and reasonable is for each of these interests to take an intelligent view of the courtesy, respect and consideration due the other. The trouble that has arisen, and what tends to split the parties into factions in the state is the unwillingness of these different interests to "play fair." It is the "all hog" spirit of some one of these interests to ignore the other and deprive them of their just portion that has caused all of the trouble that Colorado politics is now experiencing. Blind partisanship to one interest and ignoring the just consideration of others is what is playing havoc with the powers that be. It is at this point that the Colored people find their fault. They ask for nothing but what is fair and just. Simply give us what is our due in proportion to our votes, loyalty and service and we will be content; anything less we can not accept. Let the party deal fair with the business interests, with the officeholders, with the taxpayers and workers, and there will be harmony and success, but let it do otherwise and there will continue to be trouble. Is it not time for the leaders to see the situation and adjust the differences on a fair and equitable basis and save the wrangling and disturbance that is bound to ensue so long as injustice is done any faction? WHOSE FAULT IS IT? Whose fault is it that the Colored man's industrial and commercial interests do not improve faster than they do? Whose fault is it that young men and women do not find agreeable and inspiring employment to start them on in the world when they come out of school? Why is it that we do not seem to exert as much respect as an equal number of people of any other nationality, although the latter may have been citizens of this country but a very limited time? We are in the habit of blaming all these things to the unjust prejudice of the white people, who ought, we think, to furnish us all the benefits and opportunities that they furnish their own. Unjust to College Men As Class ByJoseph J. Mills,Portland,Ore. Our disappointment and discouragement over these points of moral obligations and social duty have sacrificed a great many ambitions and completely demoralized a great many lives, and still we seem to be generally oblivious of the fundamental fact involved that the fault is largely, if not all, our own. Everybody is coming to understand that the Colored man must do just as other people do, to get himself equally respected with them. We make the boast that there are very few Colored beggars. The most of us get employment of some kind. When our earnings are all averaged up, we make very good wages. But what we most need is to be taught early the great importance of saving what we earn and starting a business to cater to the needs of the general public. If we have what the public needs, the public will not hesitate because we are Negroes. Business success is a natural and sure result of careful and wise business venture. One business success leads to another. But we must catch the modern business idea, and aim to do things well. The wealth that we throw away for social amusement and waste upon hobbies, we should save for sober use. We must make business for ourselves if we would ever see our young folks employed in business houses. The mercantile conditions to which we must aspire cannot be attained without long and hard labor. We are at the very bottom of the ladder, but there are a thousand ways in which we may go up, round by round. First Class Work Guaranteed. We Solicit Your Patronage. THE BARBER'S CAFE By ELEANOR C. MARSH, Los Angeles, Cal. If my daughter is bitten by the matrimony bug at the age of 17 I shall sigh for the days, the good old days, when the parents of refractory maidens were wont to shut them into their rooms to think over their foolishness on bread and water. That is the course I should like to pursue, but, living as I do in these days, when the new commandment, "Parents, obey your children," has geen given unto us, I shall probably not be allowed any "say" in the matter at all. Still, like little Mary, "I can't help finkin'," and here are some of my "foughts." Is a girl of seventeen old enough to marry? Well, just think of the seventeen-year-olds of your acquaintance—little giggly, gushy high school girls, immature in body, mind and soul. Think of marrying one of them! Think of being married to one of them! A girl of seventeen hasn't a thought of any one but herself. Her pompadour, her complexion, her figure, her character (with a capital C, if you please), constitute her sole interests in life. This is all very natural. Youth is inevitably selfish and self-centered. I am not criticising Miss Seventeen; I am only protesting against piling the burdens of wifehood and motherhood upon her slender young shoulders. 929 Twenty-first Street.

Colorado Wall Paper & Paint Company The wife at seventeen is usually a middle-aged woman at twenty-five, while her sister who has remained single until that age is still in her lovely girlhood, and at thirty-five will be no older than the early married woman at twenty-five. The girl at twenty-five hard and cynical! The cynical ones at that age are the married women who have outlived their illusions and seen their idols decay. If by sheer luck the young wife has chosen a good husband, the wifely duties so early assumed will have aged her far more than if she had been prepared for them. But she is much less apt to get a good husband than her twenty-five-year-old sister. Usually he will be only a boy, with no more capacity to bear and forbear than she. Friction between them will be more frequent and neither will understand how either to meet or avoid it. A pitifully large number of early marriages end in the divorce courts, while those who defer marriage until twenty-five or over are usually married for life. Interior and Exterior Decorators.

Accommodations for House or Lawn Parties, Socials and Weddings EVERYTHING STRICTLY FIRST-CLASS To those who contemplate a season of "roughing it" I would say that elaborate camping outfits and preparations defeat the very ends sought. If one camps out for pleasure, the pleasure may reasonably be supposed to consist in the differences between camp life and living luxuriously at home. The joy of roughing it, to me, is in reducing life to its simplest terms and pitting human resources and ingenuity against primitive conditions. 2401 Emerson PHONE YORK 7616 Sunday Dinner, 50c from 12 to 2 p. m. THE SEWING MACHINE This is the camp equipment my "partner" and I used to take in frequent expeditions: A blanket and poncho for bedding and shelter; for tools, a hand ax and a moderately heavy jack-knife. Weapons, a shotgun, with shells adapted to various kinds of game, and a small caliber rifle for "sportsmanlike" hunting of squirrels, and such "small deer." Our larder contained salt pork, corn meal, sugar, beans and occasionally dried apricots. Two pipes and plenty of tobacco completed our outfit. For the delicacies of the table we depended upon what we could catch or kill and it was an unwritten law that we should not kill more than we could use from day to day, leaving the "big game" until we were about ready to return to town, when we could take that with us for gifts. To live well and comfortable we had to hunt close and work hard. Sometimes we built a shack that would house us against the roughest weather. These expeditions were achievements in that they brought our facilities in triumphant conflict with elemental conditions and with few of the tools of civilization to aid. SHOE REPAIRING The indictment that college graduates do not make desirable farm help because of their indolence and indifference to their work, brought by the New York State department of agriculture, is not a fair one. College men who are lazy and indifferent about work on a farm would be lazy and indifferent about their work in any other vocation. If the New York department of agriculture has found lazy and incompetent men among university graduates, it should be charged against them as individuals—not against the fact that they are college graduates. The employee on the farm who would play the mandolin or rest in the shade during the hours he should be at work, would watch the clock and soldier on the job wherever he might be—even though it might be in mahogany-furnished offices. Undoubtedly such men "cut" classes when students and use a "pony" to assist them in their translations. They are simply 50-cent boys into which hopeful parents are trying to cram a $5,000 education. It isn't the fault of the education if it can't be done.

T 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.” {s 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, ete 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 ot this stock. You will help us and your self the most by doing so. Ask Mr. Rivers, the publisher of the Colorade 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 prop. erty, 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, pres ident and general manager, Colum bine, Routt Co., Colo., or to NIELS P. JOHNSON, Secretary and Treasurer. 527 Elati St., Deaver Colo.

SS ss ee Mg Coven Experimenters Report Results of Year's Study to Board. Adoption of the New Idea Will Bring an Increase in the Efficiency, Say Probers—No More Aching Washington.—"An army crawls on its belly, but it has to use its legs to do it." With this seemingly paradoxical adaptation of the dictum of a famous general, officers of the United States army are today giving forcible expression to the vital importance of the matter of the soldiers' shoes. Napoleon himself once said that he made war not with the arms but with the legs of his soldiers, in expressing his identical view of the same question. Another grand commander, Marshal Bugeaud, declared that the two greatest problems of war are to find harness that will not injure horses and shoes that will not injure men. Bearing in mind these vigorous expressions from the mouths of men who were great generals when the United States was hardly born, officers of the American army have been wrestling with the shoe problem for a century. Next to the matter of food itself, it has been long recognized as of supreme importance, though this recognition has not always resulted in proportionate attention being paid to the problem. After many a weary and bitter struggle, during which investigating board succeeded investigating board, and shoe after shoe was tried on the long suffering soldier without much relief of his miseries, an army board has now produced a shoe which is generally pronounced as the most satisfactory yet devised for the United States army, and superior so far as is known to that in use in any other army. This board has presented its report after four years of experiment, study and investigation, and has been enabled to recommend a shoe which all its members feel sure is the best shoe the soldier could wear. This report is now in the hands of the war department, and will soon be taken up for final consideration by General Wood, chief of staff, and his military advisers. Should the report be accepted, as is generally anticipated, and the shoe recommended made the official shoe of the army, the American soldier will have a new experience in foot comfort, it is predicted. Indeed it is believed that the leaven of shoe reform spread among the soldiers will have no inconsiderable influence upon the foot comfort of the general public, for the defects of the present service shoe in the army are but slight indeed compared to those of the shoes worn by millions of Americans in civil life. TALE OF POSTAGE STAMPS. It is not often that Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock contributes a detective story to contemporaneous literature, but he did the other day when he forwarded to congress "The Trail of the Three Trunks; or, Who Got the Postage Stamps?" The story is in one volume and suitable for light summer reading. It is a stiring tale of the reasons why Edgar Allen, Jr., postmaster at Richmond, Va., should be relieved from accounting for $17,788 worth of two-cent stamps stolen from his postoffice in March, 1910. The story is a thriller, and carries the reader over seven or eight states. Detectives disguised as baggage smashers and otherwise figure frequently. The tale revolves about the desperate attempt of Edward Fay and Richard Harris to "get away with the swag" in three trunks, and the trail of the trunks, which led to the discovery of the culprits; the return of part of the booty and prison cells for the burglars. The postmaster is technically responsible for the partial loss. It has been the custom of Congress to make good the losses of bondsmen in such losses. SLEEP PRODUCING BULLET? Alexander F. Humphrey of Pittsburg is endeavoring to impress the war department with the desirability of equipping the United States army with his new sleep producing bullet. According to the claims of the inventor the Humphrey sedative bullet is coated with a preparation of morphine which renders it painless after it has once entered a wound. Instantaneous pain at the moment of impact and then sweet dreamless sleep is promised for the enemy so fortunate as to stop one of the new projectiles. At the war department it is stated that no officers or men of the army have yet volunteered their bodies for experiment as targets for Humphrey's soporific pellets. LAST OF THE OLD SANTEE. Another relic of the famous old wooden navy of the United States passed into private hands, probably to be reduced to junk, when the navy department accepted a bid of G. Hitner, of $3,610 for the Santee. She was an old sailing frigate, laid down in 1820, and was for nearly half a century on duty at the naval academy, where many admirals and high ranking officers of the present navy were confined on her when she was the midshipmen's prison ship. BIG SHOOT FOR CAMP PERRY Other Nations to Send Teams to Make It an International Event. Army officials say the international rifle match to be held at Camp Perry, O., next summer will be the greatest shooting tournament in the history of the world. It was announced that practically every civilized and some of the semi-civilized nations of the world have indicated their purpose to send a team to the match. The prospects are that there will be enough sharpshooters at Camp Perry to form a brigade. The recent victory of the American team at Buenos Ayres, and in Stockholm in the Olympic games, has convinced the military authorities of other nations that the marksmen of this country lead all others. The foreign military authorities say they are anxious to participate in the Camp Perry event in order to become better acquainted with the American system of developing marksmen. They are at a loss to understand how the American riflemen have been able to use peep signals in rapid firing. Military authorities of other nations have not considered peep sights suitable for service conditions. They did not think that rapid firing could be done with any degree of accuracy by the use of peep sights. But in the Pan-American match at Buenos Ayres, and the Olympic shoot at Stockholm, this theory was exploded by the American teams. The American marksmen, according to official records, received at the department here, not only made more hits, but fired more rapidly. The United States minister at Buenos Ayres in his latest report to the state department, speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of the American team. As the result of the team's remarkable record and its sportsmanlike conduct, the minister reports that Argentine, Brazil, Chill, Peru and Uruguay have decided to send teams to the Camp Perry international match. Reports of the same character come from the Olympic matches, which indicate that all of the nations of the Old World will be represented at the event. HYDROPHOBIA DEATHS LESSEN. Returns to the marine hospital service indicate that there were 98 deaths out of 4,625 human hydrophobia patients treated with serum in the United States last year. The number of rabid animals killed and examined was 3,393. New York and New Jersey each had 13 deaths from hydrophobia and Pennsylvania 10. Every state except Idaho, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Vermont had hydrophobia infected areas, New York having 39, New Jersey 68, Ohio 91 and Pennsylvania 52. The total for all the states is 1,381, as against 534 infected localities in 1908. The figures show a spread of hydrophobia to the Pacific coast states, which were apparently entirely free from the disease at the time of the government's investigation in 1908. In contrast with the increased distribution in the lower animals there has been a decrease of 12 per cent. In human deaths. BEWARE OF "FRIED FROZEN EGG." The department of agriculture has issued a solemn warning to the American public to beware of "the fried frozen egg" and the "boiled dried egg." These dread species of hen fruit, according to the department flourish around localities where fresh eggs are hard to obtain. The department insists that the traffic in these unlowful eggs has increased greatly in the past few years. The warning states that there is no particular harm in freezing a frying egg or drying a boiled egg if the same is done under the proper sanitary conditions and before the egg obtains a to venerable age. It warns the public further that such eggs appear in cakes and pies, where their inferiority may be successfully concealed. ASKS SENATE TO NAME HER. Believing in the omipotence of the United States senate, Miss Sallie Rundles of Madison, Ala., has asked it to send her a real nice name, because she doesn't care for the one she had. Here is her letter: "Dear Sirs: I will ask a favor of you if you Please my former name is Rundles and I don't like the name and desired to ask the legislature for the favor of sending me a nice name. I am a young lady of 17 years of age. Please do your best to give me a nice name. I will Pay the cost so let me hear from you by return mail. Yours respect, Miss Sallie Rundles." The senate regrets that it cannot oblige Miss Rundles. HOME SCHOOLS FAVORED. The navy department does not think much of "Naval Preparatory Schools." The regulations just issued governing the admission of candidates of the naval academy, just made public by the navy department, recommend that all candidates study at home schools near their homes, rather than at one of the "cramming" preparatory schools. DONATES NAVAL LIBRARY. The valuable naval library of the late Commander Theodore Mason, U. S. N. has been donated to the United States Naval academy by Mrs. Duliz James. She is a sister of the naval officer. FINAL MESSAGE OF SPANIARD DYING IN HOSPITAL Not Black Hand Letter, as Nurse Feared, But Instructions to His Brother Not to Pay the Medical Man. In a New, York hospital a cadaverous Spaniard, with the aid of oxygen and a pump, was staving off the final moment of exit. Rallying temporarily, he stretched out a hand and clutched at the arm of the nurse, motioning her to lean over and put her ear to his mouth. "My doctor go?" "Yes; he's gone." "Shut 'e door." "Lock him," he begged—it was the custom to humor the dying. He beckoned her closer and pulled her down to him again. "You make promise?" "Yes, indeed; what is it?" "Get paper, pencil, and—what you call?—envelope." Shielding his writing with one hand he managed to scrawl a single line on the note paper and to address the message, but before loosening his hold on the paper he called her to him once more. "Now you promise for me again? You promise you not show this to doctor?—not show it tonight, nurse—not to anybody? Just mall it—you promise?" She nodded. He slipped the sheet from the envelope once more, grinning with what had every appearance of flendish exultation. "That fix him," he muttered. "That fix him." An hour later, when the doctor returned, he found the nurse crying. An hour later, when the doctor returned, he found the nurse crying. "He died fifteen minutes ago, and I don't know what to do. I ought to mail this, but I'm afraid it's some Black Hand business or something. Would you be willing to look it over and see if it's all right to send? You read Spanish. She handed him the letter. He glanced at the one single line and shook his head. "Is it a Black Hand message?" she whispered. "No," he said plaintively, "it's to his brother. He just writes, 'Don't pay the doctor.'"—Lippincott's. Cause of Age and Death. Cause of Age and Death. Everything points, it appears to me, to the essential correctness of the view which holds age and death to be the result of the greatly increased differentiation of larger organisms. Is there then any probability that we shall some time find that in the higher animals, as in the lower ones, death need not occur? Evidently not. If death is the price of differentiation, then after the goods have been delivered the price must be paid. To prevent a higher organism from undergoing death would at the same time prevent him from becoming a higher organism. And the cell which remains in the embryonic condition—the cell of the germ glands—is even now as immortal as the cell of the infusorian. Death, as Minot says, is the price we pay for our complex life. Age and death, though not inherent in life itself, are inherent in the differentiation that makes life worth living—Prof. H. S. Jennings in the Popular Science Monthly. Dangerous Exercise. Every person who has received gymnasium training is aware of the fact that an exercise which calls for painful effort on the part of the beginner is often performed almost without any conscious effort at all after a certain amount of training has been received. Again, it is perfectly well known that brute strength alone does not make a gymnast, and that a simple exercise may offer great difficulty to a muscular and well developed individual who has not been trained in the gymnasium. The explanation for this is made plain in an article by Prof. du Bois Reymond in Die Umschau, who points out that one of the essential functions of gymnasium work is not so much to build up muscle as to train nerves and nerve groups to work in proper unison and co-ordination. The Process. Finding one of her pupils in peculiar distress over his lesson, a teacher in a primary school inquired as to the trouble. The boy stated this arduous problem: "If Richard has three red apples and John has four, how many have they both got together?" "Is that so very hard?" she asked. "Yes, ma'am." "But, surely," the teacher continued, "you know already that three and four make seven. There can be no trouble about that." "I know that, ma'am," was the pathetic response. "But the process! It's the process that wears me out!"—Lippincott's. Value of Buildings in France. The results of the decennial valuation of buildings in France show that in the fiscal year 1909-10 there were, outside of public buildings, monuments, etc., 9,475,786 houses and 137,676 workshops and factories in the republic. The rental value of these structures is given in the returns as $708,723,431. The rental value in the department of the Seine, which includes Paris, is $232,922,284, practically one-third of the total rental value for the whole of France. FATHER MAKING HIS CHILDREN LEARN VALUE OF MONEY. Each Has Some of His Own for Household Work, but Allowance Is Reduced If His Savings Fall Below Mark. William Jones is a thrifty father with a plan of his own for teaching his four children the value of money. These children are 15, 11, 8 and 6 years old; the two eldest are girls, and the two youngest are boys. Father Jones is head of a branch of his household which he calls the "thrift department." To teach a child to save, Jones believes, it is essential to let him handle a little money of his own, and always to have some in his possession. "I believe," says Jones, "that the boy who can go through a store full of attractive things, spend a small amount thoughtfully, and come back with some loose change in his pocket is on the road to thrift." In carrying out his duties as general manager of the thrift department Jones pays each child a certain amount for work done about the house. The 8-year-old boy earns twenty-five cents a week in this way. He is expected to spend fifteen cents of that amount in any way, he pleases, but to have at least ten cents every Saturday night for the small metal "home bank" which is kept for him. If he brings only eight cents, the next week his allowance is cut to twenty-three cents, and fifteen cents of this is put into the bank by General Manager Jones before the boy can touch it. The plan works. Nearly a hundred dollars is in a savings bank to the credit of the eldest girl; the other girl has $40. The 8-year-old boy has been "broke" a number of times, but he is learning that it doesn't pay to spend it all. Jones says that his 15-year-old daughter has become a careful and successful shopper, that she always has money for whatever she wants most, and that so far as she is concerned his duty as overseer is about ended. I've never heard of a thrift plan that seemed more reasonable, interesting and likely to succeed. I believe it would do a lot to hold a family together. Certainly, in Jones's case, it is going to ease the responsibilities of the future. World's Largest Index. On Beacon Hill, in Boston, under the golden dome of the state house, is one of the largest indexes in the world. In fact, the Russian public index is the only one known to be larger. More than nine million names, giving births, marriages and deaths in Massachusetts from 1843, make a complete record, showing not only where people were born and where they died, but also statistics which are vital in making up calculations. Before this time the records were kept in the different towns, but now they are all concentrated in the state house in Boston. In a relatively small space all these records are preserved, and as births, marriages and deaths come in, different forms of cards are used, and a great variety of names, Grectan, Assyrian, Italian, and others now mingle with good old New England names that have been on the records since the landing of the Mayflower—"Affairs at Washington," Joe Mitchell Chapple, in National Magazine. Roman Masons and Their Tools. Roman Masons and Their Tools. The excavations at Pompeii and Herculaneum have uncarted masons tools much resembling those in use today, and demonstrated the freer use of large tiles, the employment of iron to tie together brick and stone work and the use of a kind of concrete of which lime was the binding medium, and finely broken brick a favorite material. The dome of the Pantheon, built in the first century of the Christian era, still testifies to the enduring nature of concrete superstructure, albeit bound with lime and not with cement.—"Nobility of the Trades," Charles Winslow Hall, in National Magazine. Day's Effect on the Mood. But the days themselves are not recurrent periods of limpid quietude. They vary as the landscape in its extreme of storm-terror and warm, autumn haze. And we vary with them, a very mirror of responsive emotion to all that surrounds us. The quest, then, is to learn so to live that we are content to make our way along a path we see but dimly, yet do so having no fear. Our faith must never waver in the security of the way; and each day's journey must find us enriched by what has been revealed.—Thomas Tapper. Horseshoe Nails in South Africa The demand for horseshoes nails is fairly good throughout South Africa. Away from the railways, the truck wagon, with five to eight pairs of bullocks, is still very much in evidence. Horses, mules and donkeys are used in more populated centers for drawing heavy loads. In the country horses are used chiefly for riding and driving. As the roads are usually quite rough all these animals require frequent shoeing. New University for Slam. The king of Slam has approved the scheme of establishing a "University of Bangkok." It will include eight faculties, viz., arts, medicine, law, engineering, agriculture, commerce, pedagogy and political science. Furnished Rooms Parlors 41-45 Arapahoe Street.

Miss Morgan keeps reasonably busy. She was prominent in promoting the recent ball for the Vacation Savings fund for working girls. She explained some of her knowledge of conditions and views on econom- any woman can be happy unless she works. Miss Morgan keeps reasonably busy. She was prominent in promoting the recent ball for the Vacation Savings fund for working girls. She explained some of her knowledge of conditions and views on economic problems in talking about it. "We all know," said Miss Morgan, "that the girl who makes from five to six dollars a week cannot possibly live on her own resources in New York and save money. I know that no young woman here can be really self supporting on less than eight dollars a week, but a great many young women live on less because they are partially supported by their families. When any employer tells you that he pays his girls five or six dollars a week, and that he employs only young women who live at home, you can be sure that that employer who does not pay a living wage is practically subsidized by the families of his employees. "The Vacation Savings fund was organized primarily to help the poorly paid working girl to save money for a vacation, but we hope ultimately to convince employers that a girl who works only fifty weeks is of greater value than one who works 52 weeks. You must know that the greater number of girls making five and six dollars a week do not receive paid vacations, and those that do have little chance of enjoying them, because their two weeks' wages are mortgaged in advance to their families. The Vacation Savings fund was organized to help girls earning small wages to put aside sums ranging from five to twenty-five cents a week for the purpose of taking a two weeks' vacation in the country. "The girls do not wish to feel that they were in any way the recipients of charity, and there is nothing that I detest more than charity myself. Charity solves no social problems—in fact, it retards their solution. So they conceived the idea of giving a ball." Miss Morgan said that she was strongly in favor of trades unions, but was not interested in suffrage. "I believe there are many things more immediately necessary for women," she went on, "but suffrage is certain to come." REV. A. B. IRWIN IN ONE PULPIT 25 YEARS The Presbyterian congregation in Highland, Kan., gave a reception a few nights ago to the pastor, Rev. A. B. Irwin, and Mrs. Irwin, upon the conclusion of his twenty-fifth year of continuous ministry in the same church.

Irwin, and Mrs. Irwin, upon the conclusion of his twenty-fifth year of continuous ministry in the same church. When Dr. Irwin came to Highland twenty-five years ago there was neither a Presbyterian church nor parsonage. The congregation worshiped in the chapel of an old college building. Dr. Duncan Brown, now of St. Joseph, who preceded him, served as both pastor and president of Highland college. Dr. Irwin is a graduate of Knox college and of the Yale Divinity school. His first work was as principal of the Emerson institute in Mobile, Ala., then maintained by the American Missionary association as a normal school for freedmen. He entered the home mission field in Nebraska, where he served four churches at one time, driving 50 miles each week to do so. Afterwards he preached for six years in the Presbyterian church at Beatrice, Neb., from which place he went to Highland. Extract From Australian Diary. About noon it got too hot for anything and I took a well earned swim in a secluded creek, amid shoals of fish, large and small, who apparently resented my intrusion from the way they came and stared at me. I found on emerging from the water that a host of blue brown ants had taken possession of my clothes, and when they were shaken out they revenged themselves by biting my bare feet in a way which was exceedingly painful. There are thousands of ants everywhere. Some of the anthills are three feet high and six feet across—but except for a sharp nip at the time, the ordinary ant's bite is not noticeable. But if a soldier ant or a bull ant or a greenhead (an ant about $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches long with a green head) bites you, it is not to be forgotten because they take quite a big piece out. Then there are the white ants (not really ants, but termites), which cheerfully eat the insides out of the beams of the wooden houses, and recently have been eating the sheet lead on the top of the Sydney museum. The city fathers thought this was going a little too far, so now the ants are preserved inside the museum with samples of the half consumed lead as a warning to all who would allow their appetites to run away with them—The Gentlewoman. ONCE A MILLIONAIRE; CARRIES DINNER PAIL Edward Corrigan, former king of the American turf, has come back to Kansas City, after thirty years, to start life over again. With what little he could save from the wreck of his fortune after the final crash three years ago, the former millionaire has leased a few acres of land, set up a stone crusher and settled down to de- Kansas City, after thirty years, to start life over again. With what little he could save from the wreck of his fortune after the final crash three years ago, the former millionaire has leased a few acres of land, set up a stone crusher and settled down to devote himself to leveling limestone cliffs, the same sort of work he did as a railroad contractor before taking up the racing game. A few years ago Corrigan was the most spectacular figure on the American turf. His thirty years in the racing game were spent in continuous fighting. In 1891 he forced the Coney Island Jockey club to allow his horse, Huron, to start in the Futurity at Sheepshead Bay after the club had ruled that there was a defect in the entry. The horse came in second, but the judges wilfully overlooked him, so that no part of the $60,000 stake went to Corrigan. From that time on New York tracks were closed against Corrigan. Nothing daunted, he took a stable of horses to England. He was not welcomed, and it was said that it was only through the efforts of Mark Hanna and others that he was granted privileges at Newmarket. The scene of Corrigan's longest and most bitter fight was the Hawthorne track in Chicago, which he managed in opposition to John Condon's Harlem track. Condon sent word that rather than compromise he would sink the Harlem track to the bottom of Lake Michigan. "Tell him," said Corrigan in reply, "that I'll put Hawthorne on top of it to keep it down." Corrigan eventually moved to the coast. He established the beautiful Ingleside course on a site overlooking the Pacific. The authorities closed its gates. In New Orleans and Missouri his hard luck continued. He awoke one morning to find himself penniless, bankrupt. The former "master of Hawthorne" now goes out to his little quarry every morning carrying a dinner pail. MRS. REBECCA CLARK IS AN OPTIMIST AT 108 "I never worry," said Mrs. Rebecca Clark, the oldest of London's three centenarians, when asked how she had managed to remain an optimist at 108. MARY "Never since I was a young girl have I allowed worries to interfere with me," she said brightly, "and to this I attribute my long life. As a matter of fact I am of such a happy disposition that I feel I must do a step or two when I hear a band playing. "Cheerfulness is the best elixir for living a hundred years. A woman can always be cheerful if she makes her work at home congenial. In fact, a woman's place ought to be her home." Alert and active, Mrs. Clark runs up and down stairs with a vivacity that is amazing. She can hear a bee humming and threads needles for her daughter. Every Friday she walks to the postoffice to draw her old age pension. She has a son and a daughter who are both old age pensioners. Her eldest grandson is fifty-eight. Mrs. Clark's chief delight is automobiling. "I always feel somehow younger after an auto ride," she says. "This summer I have often gone motoring with a friend and did a little haymaking, which is another of my favorite pastimes." Mrs. Clark scorns all invalid foods and insists on having the same fare as the others in the house. This was her birthday menu, to which she did full justice: Breakfast, 10 a. m.—Eggs and bacon, bread and butter, two cups of tea. Luncheon, noon—Biscuits and tea. Dinner, 2 p. m.—Veal and ham, two vegetables, gooseberry tart and Devonshire cream. Tea, 5 p. m.—Bread and butter, two slices of birthday cake, two cups of tea. Supper, 7:30 p. m.—Crusts of bread and tea. Mrs. Clark is the possessor of four royal letters—from the late King Edward, Queen Alexandra, King George and Queen Mary. Gave Himself Away. Mrs. Binks (with a disgusted air)—That Aunt Sallie, who writes the articles in the household department of this paper, isn't a woman at all. It's a man. Mr. Binks—Why so?

MADE IN WASHINGTON MADE IN WASHINGTON LAWS NOT ONLY THINGS TURNED OUT AT CAPITAL Not an Industry Among Many That Has Not Shown Remarkable Increase—Government Largest Manufacturer. It will surprise many persons to learn that Washington, aside from being the capital of the United States, is a manufacturing center of no small importance. There is not an industry among the many that are followed there that has not shown a remarkable increase in the last five years. In some instances these percentages of increase are even larger than the United States, is a manufacturing center of no small importance. There is not an industry among the many that are followed there that has not shown a remarkable increase in the last five years. In some instances these percentages of increase are even larger than they have been in other cities in the United States that are large manufacturing centers. This, according to Harper's Weekly, has been brought about by several things. The city has grown rapidly during the last decade. The population of Washington in 1900 was 278,718. In 1910 it was 331,069—a gain of 18.8 per cent. In the same period even such great manufacturing centers as Cincinnati, Lowell, Fall River and Pittsburg showed smaller gains. Five years ago the foundry and machine shop business in Washington was of so little importance that it received no mention in the government's statistical reports. In 1910, however, it came to the front with the largest percentage of increase of any of Washington's industries. There are now twenty-three foundry and machine shops in the District of Columbia, and the latest official figures as to the value of their produce showed it to be $1,175,000. This is not a large sum, of course, but it is 163 per cent. greater than it was five years ago. Lumber and timber products is the only one of Washington's industries that shows a smaller percentage of increase than that of the population of the city. There are ten establishments engaged in the manufacture of lumber and timber. Their products in 1910 were valued at $609,000, an increase of 18.4 per cent. over 1905. The brewing and distilling concerns of Washington find more than a local consumption for their product. There are five such establishments, and the value of their output increased nearly 55 per cent. In the last five years. The manufacture of flour was one of the earliest enterprises that were engaged in by the original settlers of this region. It is still a thriving industry which keeps pace with the demand. There are seven mills making flour and grist mill products, and the value of their output in 1910—$506,000—showed an increase of 23.3 per cent. over 1905. There are fifteen firms in the stone and marble working industry whose product for 1910 reached $549,000. There is no record of a single one engaged in this business in the 1905 reports, which would indicate that it is a brand new form of enterprise in Washington. There are three large establishments engaged in the manufacture of gas for heating and illuminating purposes. Like the electric light and power companies, these companies are among the city's institutions. Washington is a rather torrid town in midsummer, and therefore uses a large quantity of ice. There are six ice manufactories, the value of whose product is close to $1,000,000 annually. One would fancy, considering that the patent office is in Washington and that the Americans are the greatest inventive geniuses on earth, that the business of model and pattern making would be a very large one. But most of the applicants for patents seem to get their models made elsewhere, doubtless because they can have them constructed in their home towns under their own eyes. There are six concerns engaged in the making of patterns and models in Washington, and they dispose of their product for about $100,000 a year. The capital employed in all the industrial enterprises in the District of Columbia is more than $30,000,000. In 1905 it was about $10,000,000 less. The federal government of course is the largest manufacturer of all. It is engaged in nearly a hundred different lines of manufacturing industry. The total number of its employees in its various plants exceeds 12,000. Of these the bureau of engraving and printing has 4,190, the naval gun factory (the United States navy yard), 3,141, and the government printing office 4,155. Wrong Pipe. Marion had been silent for three minutes at least, and Mrs. Cook, thinking that she was depressed and wishing to cheer her up, handed her the platter of golden brown biscuits with the suggestion, "Have another, Marion!" "No, thank you, Mrs. Cook, no more biscuits for me." replied the child decidedly. "Why not, Marion? Don't you like my biscuits?" "Oh, they're very nice," responded the child politely, "but I won't eat any more; a piece of the last one I had went down the wrong pipe and almost CHURCH HUNDRED YEARS OLD Anniversary Washington's First Presbyterian House of Worship Is Celebrated—Erected 1827. The First Presbyterian church of Washington celebrated its one hundredth anniversary a few weeks ago. In this structure since its erection in 1827 presidents, cabinet members, senators and representatives in compress, also prominent persons from all walks of life, have worshiped. At the century celebration, when the services were conducted by Rev. Donald C. McLeod, pastor of the church, a historical sermon was preached, and one of the features of the evening was the display of articles used in the original little White Church under the Hill, the name given the church out of which the present First Presbyterian church sprang. It was organized in 1795, and it still has its high mahogany pulpit and silver communion bowl and quite a number of other historic articles. Andrew Jackson was the first president to attend services there, although he never tied himself to any church, but his leaning was towards the Presbyterian faith. James K. Polk and Franklin Pierce also attended church there. It is said that Pierce used to walk from the executive mansion to this church on Wednesday evening to attend prayer meeting services. Abraham Lincoln worshiped there, and General Grant. Grant's pew was No. 67, and he paid $95 a year for it. For nearly 50 years Dr. Byron Sunderland was pastor there. Dr. Sunderland was one of the dearest little old Christians that ever lived. He was extremely loyal to the flag, and when the war broke out he preached a sermon following the firing on Fort Sumter which so angered some of the communicants of his church that they got up and walked out. It was in this church in 1895 that the first Flag day exercises in the District of Columbia were held. A movement to place a bronze tablet in the church corridor giving its history was started recently. It is hoped to have this completed before the inauguration. An endowment fund is also being raised that will secure the future financial status of the church from whose original two dozen members the Washington membership of the Presbyterian church has grown to 10,000. NO PRIVACY FOR DIPLOMATS Appropriation for State Department Exclusiveness Is Cut Out by the House Committee. "Gastronomic diplomacy" is not to displace "dollar diplomacy." At least it is the intention of the house committee on appropriations that it shall not. Proof of this is found in the omission from the sunny civil bill of an appropriation which has been asked for the preparation of plans for a kitchen and fashionable dining room in the new building for the department of state. Because the plans as drawn provided for an elaborate banquet room, the appropriations committee omitted the entire item of $40,000, which was requested for the preparation of the plans. The committee took the position that until a new office design, sans culinary equipment, is submitted, nothing should be paid for the plans. As a result, it seems certain that if friendly relations are to be maintained by gratifying the inner man, that sort of diplomacy will have to be practiced in the banquet halls of hotels as in years gone by. During the hearings on the sundry civil bill it developed that some of the government's nephews had a scheme in mind which would have necessitated keeping a well-stocked larder. It was originally planned to have suites of rooms in the new department of state building, so that they could be used by visiting dignitaries. Under such conditions it would have been unnecessary for Admiral Togo and the Duke of Connaught to associate with American people at the hotels of Washington. "Uncle Sam," inkeeper, would have provided them with free board and lodging while here, but alas—"economy" spoiled the golden dream. Enoch Arden Affair. An Enoch Arden sort of a masculine gender affair occurred here in Washington recently. Wm. Doonan, of Superior, Wis.; A. J. Doonan, of Boston, and M. Doonan, a ranchman of Montana, are three brothers. Two of them, A. J. and M., had not heard a word from the third brother, William, in 22 years, nor had the three brothers met in that time. The Boston and Montana brothers had corresponded, but the Wisconsin brother had not been heard from since he left Boston. The Boston and Montana brothers agreed to meet each other in Washington and attend the unveiling of Columbus's statue. They met in the lobby of the National hotel, and were talking, when a stranger sauntered up, and, taking a chair near, in a moment discovered that he had found his long-lost brothers. He introduced himself to them and participated in their reminiscences. Produces Forms of Life. The work of former investigators, Tichomorrow, Toyama and Kellogg, has been substantiated by Mr. Ripley, of the department of biology, Trinity college, Hartford, Conn. Mr. Ripley has produced caterpillars from unfertilized eggs by the action of sulphuric acid, and has therefore carried one step farther the investigation of his predecessors in the production of larvae. FOR SUMMER SLEEPING ROOM Japanese Crinkler Crepe an Inexpensive and Always Suitable Curtaining to Be Used. Japanese crinkler crepe is among the attractive inexpensive curtainings for the summer sleeping room. No matter what is the color scheme of the chamber, something to harmonize with it may be found in this material, which comes in innumerable shades and combinations. Another attractive curtaining in cotton has an arts and crafts design on white or tan, is striped with a narrow, brightly tinted broche pattern. All linen crash which is 48 inches wide may be had in a variety of tones, and needs only a coarse lace or a machine hemstitched finishing to make a substantial and refined looking curtaining. Most attractive are the imported marquisettes of soft finish and strong weave, the white piques with colored stripe borderings in tan, blue, rose, malze or violet; the silk and cotton foulard patterned batistes and the hand woven chiffon batistes. Charming looking summer bedroom curtains are of Swiss muslin, machine embroidered with white on color or with a color on white. HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Fine-gingham and percales will emerge from the tub with the gloss and dressing of new material if dipped in sweet milk instead of starch. To keep towels with colored borders pretty, do not allow them to become badly soiled. Rub gently with a white soap. Rinse in warm water and then in cold water. Wash quickly and never soak or boil them. When counting the wash make out two lists, one for the washerwoman and one for yourself. A book may be purchased with carbon paper in it such as clerks use in the stores. Write the list once and the other will be traced. Carpets if well sprinkled with salt and then wiped with cloth squeezed out of warm water containing a spoonful of spirits of turpentine to every quart will look bright and new and will not be troubled with moths and buffalo bugs. If you wish to have your table linen look nicely do not put it through the wringer, as it makes creases that will not come out even if the cloth is ironed when very damp. By rinsing very thoroughly it looks better even if not wrung very dry. Just try it and see. In fact, any clothes that you wish to look very nicely when ironed you will find come out a great deal better if wrung by hand. The Kitchen Floor A cork floor-covering is easily cleaned and is serviceable. Linoleum is used in many kitchens. An uncovered and unfinished floor of hard maple or birch is durable and reasonable in cost, but has the disadvantage of being difficult to keep clean. Tiles of brick are both durable and picturesque, but are comparatively expensive. A cement floor is more reasonable in cost, and if a few rugs are used to mitigate its hardness, it will be a great joy. With a cement dado going up two or three feet around the walls and a sanitary drain in one corner, this floor might be cleaned with the hose every day. To Make Good Coffee. French cooks are famous for the excellence of their coffee, which they make so strong that one part of the liquor requires the addition of two parts to reduce it to the proper strength. This addition is made with hot milk. The large proportion of hot milk, in place of so much warm water, gives the coffee a richness like that made by the addition of cream in the ordinary way. By this means any housekeeper desirous of making good coffee, can have it without cream. Baked Potato Balls Rub cold mashed potatoes left from yesterday, smooth with a spoonful of warm buter and soften with warm milk. Beat up an egg in it, stir until hot in a clean greased frying pan, not allowing it to "catch" on the side. Then let it cool. When cold and stiff make into balls, roll these in flour and bake upon a greased pan until well browned. Pile on a hot plate. When Baking Potatoes Use one of the new wire frames that may be had for a few cents. You stick the potatoes on little upright points, the potatoes bake all over at once and you do not burn your fingers in turning them over or getting them out, for you can put a dozen potatoes on the frame and put it in the oven just like any other pan.

Brown A Colorado Man To Represent Colorado In The Senate [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. 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. Federal Control of Interstate Corporations. (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. (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. (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. (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 the 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. (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 its employed labor becomes injured, sick or in want. Employés Entitled to Equal Standing With Security-Holders. (g) In all differences arising between the employees 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 the securities of any such enterprise, instead of, as is usually the case, subordinate 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 safe-guarded. 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 its maintenance of a noble and enduring race and nation. Each family must own its own home, comfortably furnished, and its occupants 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. 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 5. While Colorado must thank (?) the smelting trust for having passed from a mining state into a great agricultural and horticultural state, nevertheless 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 be the chief aim of every one who aspires 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 upon, 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. Impartial Representative of Whole State. 7. 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, or the dictates of a faction, but the will of the majority of the whole people, EXPRESSSED 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. IN ACCORD WITH THEODORE ROOSEVELT. In conclusion, I declare myself in accord with the Progressive movement * inaugurated and now being led by the Honorable Theodore Roosevelt. Joint Public Debate. I shall be pleased to engage in public joint debate upon any of the foregoing issues, with any of the gentlemen who are opposed to me as candidates for this office. If elected to the United States Senate I pledge myself unreservedly to the foregoing platform and Declaration of Principles. I shall exert my every effort to the attainment of Colorado's just proportion of federal improvements. I maintain that Colorado needs no favors, but will prosper abundantly under equitable consideration, justice and a square deal. That the rights and needs of Colorado shall be recognized will be my constant aim. JAMES H. BROWN. Candidate for United States Senator (Short Term) at the Primaries, Tuesday, September 10, 1912.
