Colorado Statesman

PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY STRENUOUS Almost as a total population of Colorado the Negro stands off and feels that he is not in touch with the great, strenuous life which is the heart of the present century's human existence. The world's problems are not ours. There are no problems for us except those touching the right and the opportunity to live. If we can be employed in some way and dragged along in the wake of the world's hurrying events, we will be half way content, at least. Such seems the position of the Negro race in Colorado, but, as a matter of truth, is there not a great, ardent life opening before this same Negro? Is there not a great business development awaiting an enlightened direction? Are there not great social, financial and political problems of racial unity, world-wide in their application, appealing for recognition before the awakening Negro of today? Wealth-getting is the first great motive with the Caucasian. Let it be so with the Negro. The money-getting spirit carries enlightenment and civilization with it. Business is the watchword of today. Even with the field filled up and handicapped as it is here, 11,000,000 of people of our race are sufficient within themselves to create a volume of business of their own which would be more than respectable. But our business enterprises can easily take a peculiar advantage, providentially reserved, if they will, by seeking development on African soil. We are not talking of emigration. We are talking of business. The wonderful and sagacious information coming occasionally to the Negroes of this country from native sources, combines to present to us a special business phase of life, gigantic in its possibilities and reserved for and applicable to us alone. In our present poverty, this must sound like dream talk. But it is natural and therefore undoubtedly true. Men of faith, courage, patience, men of loyal race desire and strenuous energy are awakening among Negroes to a realization of the auspicious providence, and heaven promises that this century will not close leaving the Negro, as now, an uncounted-for factor in the world's development.

BARRED NEGRO DEMOCRATS Richmond, Va., Sept. 17.—Richmond is on the verge of a great change in its municipal management. A commission form of government is to be inaugurated the beginning of the next year. The Democrats held a primary last week for the purpose of nominating five candidates for the first administrative board to be voted for in the election to be voted for in the election to be held in November. Under the new primary law enacted by the last Legislature colored Democrats should have been allowed to participate in the primary had they so desired, and there were a few headed by Giles B. Jackson, a Negro Democrat of long standing, who offered to vote, but were turned down because they were not white Democrats, and not one of them voted. There are about a thousand qualified Negro voter in Richmond many of whom were deeply interested as the character of the men to be selected to manage the city's finances for the next four years (presidential year) to vote, there being no Republican party except on such occasion, many of the qualified Negro voters would have cast their ballots in the primary with the best element of the whites and by so doing would have succeeded in electing a board representative of the best interests of the community rather than of the partisan political set who are but on the city. Being denied the right to vote in a Democratic municipal primary, it remains to be seen what Giles B. Jackson and his alleged Wilson and Marshall Negro followers will do in the general election next November. BELASCO TRICKED BY NEGRO DEPUTY New York, Sept. 14.—Edward E. Lee, a colored deputy employed by Sheriff Harburger, after an exciting experience, served David Belasco with a summons in a suit filled by Mrs. Leslie Carter. The deputy watched at one of Belasco's theatres in vain for a number of days, and then went to the box office, where he casually asked: "Do you expect 'Dave' around here soon?" "It kind of woke that man up," said Lee. "He wasn't used to colored men coming around and asking for 'Dave.' Thursday night I saw Mr. Belasco drive up in his car. He hurried into the theatre and I rushed in after him. The attendants tried to keep me out, but I pushed into the dressing room and tapped him on the shoulder. "Some one called a policeman andhe grabbed me. I told him to stand back." "I'm the kind of an officer that don't have to wear a tim badge; I've got a gold one.' I said. His eyes almost popped out of his head." Counsel for Mrs. Carter refused to discuss the case. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 1912. State Hist & Nat Hist Soc State House HANTS WH ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO B. M. C. BREAKES UP IN A ROW Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 16th.—The 16th B. M. C., of the G. U. of O. F. adjourned in disorder Saturday morning without the election of officers. E. H. Morris, of Chicago, head of the Order, and Ben. J. Davis, editor of The Independent published here, were rival candidates When time came for election of a grand master, Morris yielded the chair to Henry L. Johnson, Register of Deeds, Washington, and deputy grand master. Several ballots were taken without result. Morris, convinced that some of Johnson's rulings were endangering his chances attempted to resume the chair. Johnson refused to yield and the convention was thrown into disorder. Two policemen detailed at the hall to preserve order forced Johnson to give way to Morris. The latter declared the convention adjourned. No arrests were made, although the police disarmed one delegate who drew a knife. Deputy Grand Master Johnson was Editor Davis' chief lieutenant, and when Davis saw that Grand Master Morris was about to resume the chair he sent for the police and ordered them to put Morris out of the building. Mr. Morris told the officers that he was the legal and official Grand Master and defied them to lay their hands on him. The officers, upon learning the true state of affairs, ordered Johnson to take his seat; he refused and shook the gaved in E. H. Morris' face, then the officers seated him by force. One delegate from Geogia drew a revolver and wanted to shoot Grand Master Morris, but was finally persuaded to put it in his pocket. The proposition to remove the headquarters was presented by Houston, who spoke for nearly an hour in favor of it. H. P. Slaughter, secretary of the lodge from which the proposition was supposed to have come from, said, as secretary, he had never signed the proposition and that his name had been forged. Continuing, he said: "We have 22 delegates here from Washington and 21 are against moving the headquarters. The one vote favoring it is the candidate for Grand Secretary, who wants the headquarters removed for his personal convenience The proposition was lost. The proposition to return the Odd Fellows' Journal to Philadelphia was carried. H. P. Slaughter, editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal, seemed to be the chief war horse, and he fought Davis, Houston and Johnson to the finish. This"big three" combination was only popular in --- The Independent, which is published by Davis. Houston could only poll one vote from Washington and that was his own. Many of the States that had been announced in The Independent for Davis voted against him. It was not expected that Morris would run, but when he decided to enter the race Davis lost many of his promised votes. He claimed 987 votes from Georgia, but when counted they could only find 513, the rest had deserted him and gone to the other side. When Davis saw himself loosing ground he and Link Johnson started a rough house. The police took charge of the meeting and told Mr. Morris to adjourn, as it was getting troublesome. All were quiet except the Georgia delegates, headed by Davis and Johnson. One policeman (a white man) went down on the floor and in two minutes every Georgia delegate was seated. Then Grand Master Morris announced that the auditorium belonged to the city and was only rented up to 5 A. M., and as it was after 4 A. M., it would be a matter of impossibility to finish the business. He then declared the meeting of the B. M. C. adjourned, to reconvene at the call of the Grand Master in 1914. By this act all of the present officers remain and Houston,s steam roller crushed only his own gang. CATHOLIC SCHOOLS New York Sept. 19.—Miss Katherine Drexel, Mother Superior of the Sisterhood of the Blessed Sacrament, and founder of that order, has rented a house at No. 61 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, in which was opened a school for Colored children. The session began with 80 pupils. Many more are expected. This is the beginning of a movement among Catholic for schools for Colored children. The sisterhood is a Philadelphia order, but as Miss Drexel wishes to add this to her other benefactions Cardinal Farley has welcomed her to his archdiocese, and similar privileges have been extended to her elsewhere. Accordingly she is opening schools in Chicago, Columbus, Philadelphia and Nashville. Funds of the order are derived from Miss Drexel's private fortune of $15,000,000, the income of which is applied to benefactions. NEGROES IN BUSINESS ORDERED TO MOVE Bluefield, W. Va., Sept. 10.—All Negroes in business on Raleigh street received letters this after noon telling them to move from that street by Saturday night or they would be dynamitted. The letters were signed, "Lynching Committee." All are excited. They are arming and have appealed to the city and county authorities for protection. The postoffice authorities may take charge of an investigation since the letter went through the mails. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 10.—Incomplete returns here indicate for a certainty that State-wide prohibition was defeated in yesterday's election. The "grandfathers" clause amendment, seeking to enact a requirement that a man's right to the ballot depended upon whether or not his grandfather had been able to read and write, was decisively beaten. This amendment was designed to disfranchise the Negro. this case proceedings will be started immediately in every other State where similar statutes exist. Among the membership of the Knights of Moses are two thousand Negro ministers and bishops, and they hope to wipe off the statute books all laws which they consider to discriminate against their race, the Jim Crow law being one of their objects of attack. Huntington, W. Va., September 18.—Charles Smith was arrested here today charged with being one of the party who lynched the Negro, Walter Johnson, at Princeton, W. Va., on the night of September 5. Smith was hurried out of the city and his whereabouts kept secret as the officers feared an attempt at rescue by his friends. It is reported that other arrests will be made here during the day and excitement while suppressed, is intense. A grand jury in session at Princeton is investigating the lynching. Berlin, Sept. 11.—Hazel L. Harrison, who for the past year has been studying in Berlin, Germany, under Hugo Van Dalen, speaks of the good fortune that has come to her. Mr. Ferbucco Busoni has consented to direct her studies for the coming year. Mr. Busoni heard Miss Harrison play he said she was "very gifted, had strength, rhythm and poetry and if she would follow his advice she would have undoubted success." Hugo Van Dalen, her present teacher, is a former pupil of Mr. Busoni, who for the past years has not taken any pupils, but after hearing Miss Harrison play in his own home, became interested in her and offered to direct her studies. Miss Harrison will remain abroad another year and will also appear in concert in Berlin this winter. Atlanta, Ga. Under a suit entitled "Joe Butt vs Registrars of Fannin County, Ga." the knights of Moses, a secret order of colored people, has begun a fight in the United States court for the Northern district of Georgia to test the State Negro disfranchisement laws as enacted by the constitutional amendment ratified by the voters in October, 1908. The Order, controlled by a supreme lodge in Douglas, Ga. has 5,000 members in lodges scattered throughout the South, and if it is successful in NO 3 this case proceedings will be started immediately in every other State where similar statutes exist. Among the membership of the Knights of Moses are two thousand Negro ministers and bishops, and they hope to wipe off the statute books all laws which they consider to discriminate against their race, the Jim Crow law being one of their objects of attack. Jefferson City, Sept. 20.—State Superintendent of Schools William P. Evans is asking the Negro school teachers why they have fallen behind in the matter of advanceing the grades. In a letter to them he says: Public sentiment demands Negro teachers for Negro childreu, and in response to that demand you have a great responsibility placed upon you. The state asks that the boys and girls intrusted to your care become good citizens. Are you ready to discharge this duty? Are you by precept and example instilling a desire for higher living? I know there are many worthy, high-minded Negro teachers, but there is need for their number to increase. Among white teachers there is great enthusiasm in raising the grade of certificates and in improving themselves for their work. Some of us hope speedily to see a great educational revival, Are you ready for it? Jackson, Ga., Sept. 13.—In the township of Jackson, named for the famous cotton wizard, the citizens are giving corn husking parties and serenades night after night at the home of Mr. Jackson. All this is being done because on Tuesday, Sept. 3, when he brought into market the first bale of cotton in the entire south, Mr Jackson led the world. In speaking to a correspondent Mr. Jackson said: "I am just a common farmer, who takes the Bible at its word, and study nature as the others do not and then follow the laws of nature. In this way I am able to give to the world the first of cotton. "No! Why, no! I am not afraid of being lynched for raising the first bale of cotton. You see the white people in this county represent colleges and high schools and they are all highly educated and we do not allow the white nor colored trash to linger long here. I have both white and colored to work for me and we get along together as we ought to live the short time we have on earth.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS A negro boy in Canton, Texas, has proved himself a real hero, and there are two happy parents in the vicinity of the little town who feel that they can never pay the debt of gratitude they owe him for the rescue of their child. Little Calvin Stepp, a child of three years, fell into a sixty-foot well. It was dry and had been abandoned, but was insecurely covered. Owing to the fact that the well was very narrow (13 inches in diameter), the child struck from side to side, breaking the force of the fall. Strange as it may seem, the little one was unharmed. Its voice could be heard calling: "Tome dit me out!" The mother insisted on being lowered into the well, and made a desperate effort to descend, but her shoulders could not be forced through the narrow opening. For two hours or more fruitless attempts at rescue continued, when Elbert Gray, a thirteen-year-old negro lad, arrived at the well. "I'll go down," he said. A rope was fastened about him, and he was lowered to the bottom of the well. He grasped the child by the sleeves of its dress and the two were raised forty feet, when the cloth tore apart, and the child fell to the bottom again. The brave negro boy's head was bruised and bleeding when he was drawn to the top, but he was eager to try again. A loop was fastened about his ankles and he was lowered into the well head down. He carried a rope with which he made a noose under the baby's arms. Both were then drawn to the top, neither very much injured. Cheers from the crowd and tearful thanks from the parents greeted the negro and $25 was raised for him on the spot and a much larger sum was given him in town.—Grit. Negotiations are under way for the formation of a business alliance between American negroes and the natives of the Gold Coast, West Africa. Charles W. Chappelle, known both in New York and Pittsburgh, is at the head of the project, and has interested thirty-two colored men of Pittsburgh and two in New York. Mr. Chappelle returned from the Gold Coast a few weeks ago, after spending several months investigating the business possibilities of that country. While there he says he made contracts with eighty-two chiefs, who will supply him with gold, cocoa, mahogany and rubber. The American negroes and natives are also organizing the African Central railroad and the West Coast Steam and Harbor company. These two transportation concerns will develop business for 440 miles in West Africa. While in New York a few days ago Mr. Chappelle, accompanied by E. M. Askworm, a native of the Gold Coast, visited the Astoria veneering mill, at Astorla, L. I., and made arrangements to furnish the mill with many thousand feet of mahogany. No company has been formed and no stock is to be put on the market, each American putting in a certain amount, which will be used in developing the natural resources of the Gold Coast in conjunction with the natives. Miss I. M. Carpenter has been appointed soliciting agent of the freight department of the Pere Marquette-Lehigh Valley railroad, with headquarters at Davenport. Miss Daisey Odin was made division agent on the Burlington, at Rock Island, about a month ago. Both women are experts in the kind of work they will do. In the District of Columbia the statement shows that there were 94,446 blacks and 32,952 mulattoes in 1910, as against 75,572 blacks and 19,836 mulattoes in 1890. The growth of the number of mulattoes does not imply an increasing intermixture between whites and blacks, since children born of marriages between blacks and mulattoes would be mulattoes, according to the census definition. It will be seen that Washington has 127,398 Negroes, the Negro population forming more than one-third of the total population. The per cent increase of mulattoes over the number in 1900 is about equal to the per cent increase that is shown by the "blacks" for the same period. Savannah, Ga., is to have a four-story hotel by and for colored people on the European plan. A lunch counter, buffet service at any hour and, roof garden will be some of the features. No married man in Vienna is allowed to go up in a balloon without the formal consent of his wife and children. Colored men and women, be loyal to your enterprises, not only with your mouths but with your pocket-books; for it is money which makes the mare go. Often we hear some thoughtless darkey talking about having been bitten by patronizing their own race, and giving that as a reason for not bestowing further patronage. These same people have also been bitten by whites, and will be bitten again if they stay on earth. Adopt the wise course. Let by-gones be by-gones. Do like other intelligent people—patronize your own race. Robert R. Church, Sr., one of the wealthiest citizens in Memphis and considered the wealthiest Negro in the south, died at his late residence, 384 Lauderdale street, Memphis, Tennessee, who was 74 years old, had been ill eighteen months. He retired from business last October and was succeeded by Robert R. Church, Jr. The Memphis Commercial Appeal gives the following account of Mr. Church's career: "The singular circumstance of a Negro, born a slave, rising from cabin boy on a Mississippi river steamboat to the mastery of a fortune estimated at a million dollars made him a conspicuous character, and the news of his death was received all over the city with expressions of interest and enterprise. Church's life reads like a page born from fiction. He came to Memphis years ago. Thrift and industry uncommonly marked, coupled with a keen insight and keen business ability, made him quickly recognized as a man of uncommon business ability. His word was as good as his bond. He came to Memphis from Holly Springs, Miss. For a while he worked around the livery stables here and later he went into the saloon business. Here he got his start. His savings were gradually invested in real estate. One purchase followed another. He saw with a prophetic eye a great city, and he knew that some day his property would be valuable. He rarely if ever sold. Conservative estimates are that he left between 200 and 300 houses in various parts of Memphis. The bulk of them are in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards. According to one in authority, his monthly income from his rentals amounted to $6,000 alone. He owned a subdivision of 135 acres on the Raleigh car line east of Memphis and was founder and first president of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, the first Negro financial institution of the city. Church's Park on Beale avenue is also his property. Though no unusual deeds of charity or munificence are credited to him, yet it is known that he was a charitable man. He lived simply, though he could have easily outshine many a man in the ostentatious display of luxury. He went about his work quietly and kept a poise that marked him as a man of extraordinary common sense. The late John Overton, John Gaston and the late Col. Josiah Patterson were his friends. Sid M. Neely was his closest adviser. There were 9,827,763 negroes in continental United States in 1910, according to a preliminary statement issued by Director Durand of the bureau of the census yesterday. The statistics, which were prepared under the direction of William C. Hunt, chief statistician for population, are subject to revision. Of the total number of blacks 20.9 per cent. or 2,050,686, were reported as mulatto, that is, according to the census definition, all persons, not full-blooded blacks, having some proportion or perceptible trace of African blood in them. The Kentucky Daughters of the American Revolution are pleased by the passage of the bill in congress appropriating money to mark the trail of Daniel Boone. Suitable milestones will be set in place to commemorate the journey of the pathfinder of Kentucky. The Virginians are setting up stones to show the paths of the first traders. Perhaps unappreciation of the colored journal comes more from the fact that but few persons actually read all its columns, remarks the Illinois Chronicle. A hasty glance at the headlines, a peep at the editorials and a skimming of the locals constitute the average reader's attention to the weekly issue. The opinion from such cursory reading then follows that the "negro paper is no good—no news—not worth reading." Give the papers a change to prove their worth. Brains are put into them; use your brains to get the substance out of them. Read them carefully, not one issue, but several, and find out what they contain, then give your honest opinion and let it be unprejudiced, if you please. A tract covering nine city blocks in Wilmington, N. C., valued at about $30,000, has been set apart by an act of congress for a negro school. A $40,000 building is to be erected at once.

INITIATIVE LAW IS SUSTAINED SUPREME, COURT REVERSES RIDDLE IN INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM CASE. GOES TO VOTERS NOV. 5 OPINION WRITTEN BY CHIEF JUSTICE CAMPBELL, ALL THE JUDGES CONCURRING. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—The decision of Judge Harry E. Riddle of the District Court in ordering Secretary of State Pearce to re-advertise and re-submit the initiative and referendum to a vote of the people, virtually killing the act, was reversed by the Supreme Court in an opinion handed down Monday. The cause was ordered remanded and Judge Riddle commanded to dismiss the petition of W. H. Tate of Pueblo, brought by his attorney, N. Walter Dixon. Dixon has three days to file a motion for rehearing. Justice Campbell wrote the opinion, his six associates concurring. The Western Newspaper Union had made extensive advance preparations in order to handle the initiative and referred laws for the newspapers of the state in case the Riddle decision was reversed, and had the amendments all in type and several extra carloads of paper provided when the Supreme Court rendered its decision. The decision in full follows: At a special session of the General Assembly, convened in August, 1910, by proclamation of the governor, there was proposed, as an amendment to our constitution, to be submitted to the people at the general election in November of that year, for their approval or rejection, what is generally known as the Initiative and Referendum law. A constitutional majority of the people approved it. Thereafter, a large number of amendments to the constitution, proposed under authority of this new section, were filed in the office of the secretary of state for submission to the people at the general election to be held in November, 1912. The relator, Tate, conceiving that the amendment in question was not a part of our organic law, filed his petition in the District Court of the Second Judicial District, setting forth therein in what its invalidity consisted and praying for a writ of mandamus to compel the secretary of state to publish and submit, or re-submit, the same to the qualified voters at the next general election, to be held in November, 1912, and to hold for naught and ignore any and all petitions which have been filed in his office in accordance with its provisions, that contained proposals for constitutional amendments and laws thereunder. The District Court granted the prayer of the petition and issued its writ accordingly; to review which this writ of error has been sued out by the secretary of state. One Defect Is Noted. The only defect which the petition points out in connection with the submission of the proposed amendment was the conceded failure upon the part of the secretary of state to cause the same to be published in the session laws of the special legislative session previous to the general election of 1910, at which the vote upon it was taken. Section 2 of Article XIX of the constitution, which provides how amendments thereto shall be proposed and submitted, is controlling of the question. That part of the section which is pertinent here reads: * * * "the proposed amendment or amendments shall be published with the laws of that session of the General Assembly, and the secretary of state shall also cause the said amendment or amendments to be published in full in not more than one newspaper of general circulation in each county for four successive weeks previous to the next general election for members of the General Assembly." Relates the Contention. The contention of relator, briefly stated, is that the publishing of proposed amendments in the session laws for four successive weeks previous to the next general election is an essential condition precedent to the validity of their submission; that they may be proposed only at a regular, and not at a special, session, of the General Assembly; but, if at a special session, that must be done at such a time as that publication in the session laws can be made as the foregoing language prescribes. By Section 9 of Article IV of our constitution, "the governor may, on extraordinary occasions, convene the general assembly, by proclamation stating therein the purpose for which it is to assemble." There is no express provision in this section, or elsewhere in the constitution, which prohibits the governor from including in his proclamation convening a special session of the General Assembly proposals for amendments to the constitution. It is claimed, however, that the inhibition arises, by implication, from the language above quoted, which requires that proposed amendments be published in the session laws. But it is obvious that if this requirement is mandatory and applicable to insertion in the session laws, the particular objection here urged is untenable, for the General Assembly may be convened in special session a sufficient length of time in advance of the general election to permit compliance with publication in the session laws. The objection goes, if at all, only to amendments passed at so late a date that the requirement cannot be met. And so the question really is whether proposed amendments, submitted either at a regular or special session. must be published in the session laws for four successive weeks previous to the general election at which the vote is to be taken. The language interprets itself. There is no occasion for construction. It is immaterial whether we regard the quoted words as a compound sentence or as two separate sentences. There is a complete clause or sentence ending with the word "assembly" first employed. It does not say that publication shall be for any specified time, or previous to the next general election. It is only by construing the word "also" as an adverb instead of a conjunction and as meaning "in like manner," which relator says should be done, that the qualifying clause "for four successive weeks previous to the next general election" can be said to refer to the first as well as the second, preceding clause or sentence. "Aiso Is an Adverb." "Also" is an adverb. But it is equally true that it is a conjunction, and among its meanings are, as given by Webster, "besides, as well as further, too." It is in the sense of "besides" or "further" that the word is used here. That being so, it is entirely clear that publication for four weeks previous to the next general election relates only to newspapers and not at all to session laws. This conclusion is fortified by the fact that, according to the ordinary use of language, it would be a strained construction and an unnatural use of words to say that an amendment shall be published in the session laws for four successive weeks. "The Session Laws" is not a serial publication, or one that is made at a fixed period or at regularly recurring intervals. It is published only once, as a permanent memorial for its designated contents. It has been held that publication of the session laws is a continuous publication. (State ex rel v. Grey, 21 Nevada, 378.) It was so held to save the validity of a constitutional amendment where the publication in the session laws was made sixteen months before an election, whereas the constitutional requirement was that the publication should be for three months before the election. That is not authority, however, for the contention made here that our constitution requires publication in the session laws for four successive weeks previous to the general election. Court Makes Point Clear. A moment's further consideration will, if possible, make the point clearer: If "also" neans "in like manner," it follows that publication in the session laws must, in all respects, be in the same manner as in newspapers. Newspapers are usually daily or weekly publications, and publication therein is made daily or weekly. Publication in the session laws is made once for all. It is not repeated either daily or weekly, monthly or annually; and so, if the requirement as to time is applicable to both kinds of publication, it would be impossible fully to comply therewith, if the ordinary and primary signification of words is to govern. An ingenious argument by petitioner's counsel is made that if publication in the session laws need not be made until after the election, it involves an absurdity, since it is only "proposed" amendments that are to be published. And if so, they may be made only before, not after, the election, because after election, amendments become, if approved, complete or finished documents; if rejected, worthless things; and, in either case, they are no longer "proposed" amendments. The provision means that whatever is proposed as an amendment shall be published in the session laws, and that may be done as well after as before the election. The majority opinion in re House resolution No. 10, 50th Colo. 71, is clearly authority for the conclusion which we have reached, that publication of proposed amendments in the session laws need not be made for four successive weeks previous to the next general election. If it had been the intention of the framers of the constitution to so require, it would have been easy to say so in no uncertain terms. It is only by giving to their language an unnatural and forced construction that any such contention can be upheld. It is too plain and conclusive to our minds that the publication for four successive weeks previous to the general election applies only to publication in newspapers to need further argument or citation of cases to support it. With the wisdom or policy of this amendment this court, of course, has nothing whatever to do. If the cost of submitting amendments that are proposed for submission at the coming election will be grievous and a burden to taxpayers, this court can give no relief. The people have ordained their own constitution and, through their representatives, have made their laws. It is the duty of the court to enforce them as they are written. If relief should be given, only the people themselves directly, or through their chosen representatives, can, in a proper way, afford it. The judgment of the District Court is reversed and the cause remanded, with instructions to dismiss the petition. Decision en banc, all the justices concurring. In Coffin 24 Hours: Sits Up.

It is only essential that the Republican organizations and press keep in touch with the people upon topics of current political interest. It may annoy the Democrats to know that the Republican press, the sentinels of the party, are on the alert and keeping the army informed of the moves of the enemy. It is not to be expected that the Democratic bosses will approve of this vigilance, but they will have to endure it just the same. A calm, fair and unimpassioned discussion of public questions is always in order. If public interest is to be kept alive to public needs, it is absolutely necessary that this course be pursued. IN THE BALANCE mals subscribes to the c t he thinks he ought to l arnings; he is not caref highest type of man. One of our journals subscribes to the opinion that the Negro does not deserve all that he thinks he ought to have. It points out that he does not save his earnings; he is not careful to impress the world that he belongs to the highest type of man. The paper thus supports our theory that the highest duty of the race press and race pulpits at the present time is to make war upon the vices of the race. It should be plainly pointed out that, to a startling extent, our race is abusing the privileges which it already possesses. We sincerely believe that if all of the serious-minded and therefore really deserving Negroes of Colorado (and there are many such), would make up their minds, as an essential to self-preservation and race salvation, to mercilessly condemn and constantly oppose the wanton vice and general unworthiness inherent in all of our conduct, there would be a vast improvement in our race in the next year. We have many good traits and some Negroes are doing exceptionally well, but it is the general condition to which the newspapers are calling attention. The white man is making war upon the Negro in many insidious ways and in some instances we are losing ground, because we are unable and unfit to hold it. As the newspaper points out, it is not sufficient ground for total discouragement that we are being deprived of guaranteed rights, for this is a world in which men and races are compelled to deserve and defend what they possess and hope to enjoy. The Negro who stops for a moment to contemplate the vast amount of earnest and determined energy which the white man is expending in Colorado to advance his standing and maintain his supremacy individually and nationally, will practically realize that the Negro has got to wake up or practically get out of Denver. The white man is not going to carry the Negro up with him. There are no indications that he takes any such charitable view of what he calls the "White Man's Burden." The Negro has got to "get up and hump," swim or sink. We are living too easy. We are not serious enough. Our play hours are too long; our business hours too short. We are too narrow in our vision and too wise in our ignorance. We have got to get down upon a more simple and therefore a more stable foundation. Money saving and industrial activity, clannish support of race enterprises, honest business and stern determination to promote fairness, encourage virtue and to condemn and punish vice, depravity, profligacy and all the weak and unworthy characteristics which we have been covering up and tolerating are imperative duties whose neglect condemns us all. How are these principles to be instilled into the minds of the people? That is a serious question. We believe it depends upon those already of a sober turn of mind. The complaints of the Press or of individuals, can do no good unless some action is aroused. The remedy does not lie in big showy conventions where men display their oratory and their poverty. It is a matter for communities to take up. The sober men and women who think of these things should get together and plan. Co-operation, not in a single business effort, but in the support of enterprises already established or to be started, would be a thing worthy of long discussion and earnest trial. Educate and elevate the social and business ideas of the people and lead and teach them by the most practical and worthy of examples. THE HAT It is evident that the "Winter Girl" is about to don a splendidly beathered war-bonnet in which to go forth to her season's conquests. When she starts there will be no lack of the pomp and circumstance of war so far as her head-decorations are concerned for the new millinery is simply one grand exposition of feathery trimmings. Whatever the winter girl elects to do the winter matron will do also, from the socially active grandmamma down to the latest acquisition to matronly ranks. Therefore, it is in order for us to become acquainted with the new feather things, and we shall find them immensely worth while. The great thing in their favor is that we may wear them with a clear conscience, or, better still, with a light heart. For few of them are anything more than the feathers of domesticated fowls and birds, cunningly worked into beautiful ornaments. And this is quite enough. Beginning with wings (which appear on al sorts of hats from plain pressed shapes to elaborately made millinery), we find them made in all sizes and many novel shapes. There are many butterfly wings in solid or two-color combinations, and many beautiful specimens of rich variety in colors. Small, brilliant feathers, carefully sewed to a foundation, present to us the appreciation of their designers of the wonderful beauty of nature's incomparable colorings. These "fancy feathers" as they are termed in millinery, open our eyes and make us more observant of the world of beau- TO WEAR WITH FINE BLOUSE "Pinafore Gown" of Linen Is One of the Newest and Best of the Designs Offered. For smarter wear there is a beautiful model of very fine linen. This has a pinafore top with straps over the shoulders, and is intended to be worn with a fine blouse. The upper part of this, including the little scooped-out apron top and bib, as well as the lower part to below the hips, is a mass of thick embroidery in soft, glossy, white thread in a bold design of flowers and leaves in relief. From beneath this embroidered top there falls a round skirt of linen plainly hemmed and lightly gathered into it. The corsage worn with it is of white tulle, with revers and cuffs of embroidered linen. For smart afternoon occasions one sees a good deal of the old-fashioned plum color which our grandmothers delighted in for their stiff silks and brocades. A costume of fine crepe de chine in this tone had a wide skirt, knife-kilted from waist to hem. With this there was a little cutaway coat of the same color and materiel with orange silk revers and cuffs lightly braided with soutache, with a touch of some really good lace introduced into the scheme. Boudoir Headdresses Boudoir headdresses are so dainty that it is almost impossible to resist the temptation to wear them publicly. The latest English model is shaped like an Anne Boleyn cap. Usually the crown is made wholly of shadow net and edged with French valenciennes, but it may be of tucked mull and cluny, and—if expense be not an object—of Duchesse lace. But the cap positively must have a trailing vine of tiny flowers in satin, outlining its shape sharply and drawn together at the back with a soft ribbon bow. These caps are lovely in all-white, allcream, or all-mauve, and they are wondrous odd and chic in dull gray relieved by tiny flowers and soft ribbons in mauve tones. Only a small number of Parisiennes have dared to venture forth with the sunshade instead of the hat to protect their heads from the rays of the sun. This fad is not likely to create much stir or disturb the mandate of fashion very seriously, for the idea of a well-dressed woman without a hat is somewhat incongruous. A craze of this kind originates not so much from hygienic motives, but from the desire for sensation, and women who appear hatless among the fashionable promenaders are those who appear in lingerie gowns in December and wear furs in June. ty which lies in feathers. Wings are made in an almost endless variety of shapes and those medium in size or small are favorites. Next to wings, ostrich feathers are what is known as "ostrich fancies," are best liked. These are used on dressier hats as a rule, although all feathers appear on all sorts of hats. Narrow bands made of ostrich feathers. long "quill" effects with curled heads, innumerable wreaths and pompons and beautiful sprays and tufts of plumes are shown, in colors that are enchanting, and in the snowiest white and richest, glossiest black. The bird of Paradise is the ambition of those who dare think of being reckless with money and is worth far more than its weight in gold. The algrette compels admiration but sells better in the imitation than in the real feather, on account of the sentiment against wearing it and laws in some states operating against it. But imitations are good enough to answer its purpose, and there are plenty of airy substitutes. There are bands and breasts of feathers very handsomely wrought; those of the neck feathers of peacocks are especially brilliant, and the feather makers have covered entire hat-shapes with small feathers, finishing them with wings designed for them. They are rich and somewhat expensive, but money measure distinction here for not many such hats are made and sold. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

IN PUTTING UP PRESERVES Matter of Importance is the Selection of the Right Kind of Fruit to Be Handled. Fruit for preserving in any form should be fresh-picked, or gathered, and slightly under-ripe. Such fruit ensures more perfect shape in the finished product and eliminates the possibility of fermented fruit or the loss of pectin or jelly-making property. Handle soft fruit (peaches, berries, etc.) as little as possible. If it is to be canned in jars, put it into the jars, at once, on hulling or otherwise preparing it. If berries must be washed, put them, a few at a time, into a colander, pour cold water over them and turn at once upon a large sieve to drain, then hull. Large hard fruit, as apples, pears, and quinces, should be washed and wined dry before paring. Cut apples and other hard fruit, for jelly, into quarters, removing all wormy places or imperfections. Retain the skin and cores. The cores of quinces should be discarded, as the excess of gummy properties does not improve jelly. Use a silver-plated knife to pare fruit. Peaches, soft pears, plums and tomatoes, set into a wire basket (frying basket) may be plunged into a saucepan of boiling water; after three or four minutes remove to a kettle of cold water for the same time, when the fruit may be quickly and easily peeled. This method of peeling is admissible when a large quantity of fruit is to be put up, but it is thought to detract somewhat from the flavor. Chicken Ple. Cut up the chicken and stew it until it is tender, season it with one teaspoonful of pepper, one tablespoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of ground mace, one teaspoonful of ground ginger, one tablespoonful of chopped onion and two tablespoonfuls of chopped parsley. Take a deep pie dish and line it with a pie, crust, then put a cup in the center of the dish (this cup will hold the gravy).

The occasion was a Sirprise party given in honor of Miss Samira Harris, who has spent her va- cation in Denver and was on the verge of making,her departure for Atlanta, Ga,, to resume her studies at Spellman Seminary. The secret had been well guarded, so that the surprise was a real one. Those comprising the party were Rev. and Mrs. A. E. Reynolds, Mr. and Mrs. William Hoy, Mesdames J. W. Parker, W. M.

Washington.—New York city will witnes on Oct. 14 and 15 the mobil- ization of the greatest fleet of war- ships ever assembled in American wa- ters. The navy department issued preparatory orders for the mobiliza- tion a few days ago.. At the same time the warships of the Atlantic fleet and Atlantic reserve fleet gather in the harbor of New York city the Pacific fleet will mobilize at San Fran- cisco and the Asiatic fleet at Manila. In the mobilization in New York waters will be 120 ships, including the new 26,000-ton dreadnaughts Wyo- ming and Arkansas. There will be 43 ships assembled at San Francisco and 20 at Manila. Rear Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, commander-n-chief of the Atlantic fleet, will command the mobilization in New York; Rear Ad- miral Southerland the fleet at San Francisco and Rear Admiral R. R.

ENTERTAINMENTS FOR FARMERS ‘ Free entertainments are given to rural communities in some counties in Alabama as part of a campaign to induce the people to stay on the land instead of abandoning thelr farms for city life. This information has been recelved by the United States bureau of education from E. M, Shackelford, principal of the state normal school at Troy, Pike county, Alabama, who fs at the head of the movement. Mr. Shackelford writes: “In my opinion, the exodus of the younger generation from the country to the town 1s at present the most serious menace to our general welfare. Good roads, motor cars, the telephone and rural mail delivery are improving rural conditfons greatly, but rural so- cial life does not yet afford the op- portunities for the commerce of ideas that an ‘active, reading, thinking pub- Mc demands. Hence the tendency to congregate in the centers of popula- tion, and hence this effort of ours to afford a few social opportunities through a course of free entertain- ments.” ‘The entertainments consist mainly of lectures, “lantern shows,” and se- lections on the Victrola, Some of the Jectures are given at night, and some in the afternoon. Occasionally dinner is provided at the school and an all- day session 1s held. While this movement was started by the Troy State Normal school, the co-operation of the Alabama state health and medical departments and the various state Institutions has been enlisted for supplying speakers, enter- tainment clubs and other attractions, Most of the entertainers give thelr services without charge, “and trans- portation 1s furnisled by the owners of automobiles, Friends of the new movement anticipate that {t will be a powerful factor wherever introduced fn adding to the pleasures of rural Mfe by furnishing additional _oppor- tunities to the country folk for recre- ation, culture and social intercourse. Practical if Not Poetic. W. D. Howells, at a luncheon at Kittery Point, said of a certain popu- Jar novelist: “Phere 1s about as much poetry in him as there is in McMasters, “MeMasters, you know, was walk- ing with a beautiful girl in a wild ‘New England wood. “‘What {s your favorite flower, Mr. MeMasters?' the girl asked softly. “McMasters thought a moment, then cleared his throat and answered: | “*Well, I believe I \like the whole ‘wheat best.’ ”"—Washington Star. ROAD EXPERTS NEEDED. A practical effort to bring the sup- ply of expert highway engineers to the point where they will be numer. ous enough to meet the demand for their services 1s to be made at the American Road Congress, to be held on the Million-Dollar Pier, in Atlantio City, September 30 to October 5. At the present time, with the people of the United States spending more than $200,000,000 a year for the improve- ment of highways, the demand for expert highway engineers exceeds the supply. ‘There is to be a conference of educational institutions at the American Road Congress, to be di- rected by the Society for the Promo- tion of Engineering Education, and through this conference efforts are to be made to induce the leading unt- versities to establish specific and practical courses for the instruction of highway engineers. At the present time there are about £2 universities devoting some atten- tion to highway engineering. The in- struction in this branch of engineer- ing, however, {s, in most cases, merely a part of the general training of engi- neers, 80 that there will be a sufficient number of trained men to handle the great problem that has been thrust upon the United States by the wide- spread agitation for a better system of public highways that will reduce the cost of hauling crops and permit shipments by farmers at all seasons of the year, Prof. Henry H. Norris of Cornell university {s secretary of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Edu- cation, which 1s composed of officials of the leading educational institu- tions having engineering departments. Professor Norris has just sent letters to all the institutions which are rep- resented in their society asking them to appoint delegates to represent them at the convention, which will be part of the American Road Congress at Atlantic City. Prof. William T. Ma- gruder, of the Ohio state university, is president of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, while the vice-presidents are Prof. L, S. Marks of Harvard and Prof. F, W. Sperr of the Michigan College of Mines. ‘They believe that if the unl- versities will supply well-equipped en- gineers it will be a long step towards doing away with the careless super- vision of the construction and main- tenance of public roads, that now re- sults in the loss of a large percent of the money invested in roads. MUST ANSWER QUESTIONS. In the future, when a person calls at the general delivery window of any postoffice will have to answer these questions put by the clerk before he gets his mail: “Are you twenty-one years of age?” “Haye you a permanent home in the city?” > “Are you using a fictitious name?” “Is this correspondence {ilegal?" An order Issued to postmasters by Dr. C. P. Grandfield, first assistant postmaster general, reads in part: “The attention of postmasters at offices having city carrier service 1s called to paragraph 2, section 713, postal laws and regulations, compll- ance with which should prevent the improper use of the general delivery by residents. Postmasters at such of- fices, may require all persons supposed to be residents to furnish in writing their names and addresses and state- ments of their reasons for preferring to be served at the general delivery. “Minors calling at such offices may be requested to furnish the Informa- tion indicated above and also the names of their parents, in order that the parents may be notified and have an opportunity to control the delivery of the mail to the extent authorized by section 643, postal laws and regu- lations, | “Postmasters at offices not having city carrier service may notify the parents of minors in all instances where It appears that the minors are calling at the general delivery for mail under objectionable efreum ak aca TIME “VIA WIRELESS.” ‘The new wireless station at Arling- ton which wili be completed in about a month will act as a clock regulator for thousands of jewelers all over the country, ‘The right time as recorded at the naval observatory will be flashed all along the coast and as far west as the system will reach. The towers are expected to communicate with vessels three thousand miles at sea, but the exact distance they will command over land has not been calculated to a nicety. It 1s belleved that messages will he recorded at least 1,500 miles inland.

Uncle Sam ts going to try to pro- duce a trout that can Ive and prosper in the warm water of the sluggish streams of the southern states. An experimental fish station will be es- tablished near Washington for that purpose. Congress has provided the money for the work. The fighting brook trout {s to be modified, domesticated and made to furnish more food and less sport for the human family. The experts of the bureau of fisheries hope to suc: ceed in getting a trout that, will fll the bill, but they recall the fact that many years ago fifty million Pacific coast salmon were planted in the Mis aissipp! river and perished. Ui UNCLE SAM’S STAMPS BUREAU OF PRINTING AND EN- GRAVING BUSY PLACE, Billions Are Turned Out Yearly— Process of Manufacture From Pa. per Mill Until the Shipping ; Room Is Reached. Think of receiving more than. $603,- 000 on a single day's investment of only $1,703! Think what the result would be in a fit year, counting the working days! Almost $181,000,- —— 000 from an in. vunIn it vestment of $511,- ES | 000! It sounds lke the vain S imaginings of —— 1 — 1 some drug victim WAAR An or the ravings of th fy | a maniac. And ISS U yet {t is not only eet AD true but tt merely shows In plain fic- a ures the results of the manufacturing business. Furthermore, that business is car- ried on right here in the national capital; 1s, in fact, one of its recog: nized establishments. It {s only when the above figures are given that the bureau of engraving and printing 1s lost sight of and a great temple of wealth 1s brought to mind, But even then {t must be remembered that those figures, appalling as they ap- Pear, represent only the cost of manu- facture and face value of the postage stamps printed by the government, beside which are the revenue and cus- toms stamps. Reports of the bureau of engraving and printing, when taken as a manu- factory, show some astonishing fig- ures, Take, for instance, the single items of postage stamps; that is, with- out the revenue and customs, which, by the bureau’s own classification fall under a separate head. There are 51 kinds and denominations printed, rang- ing from the humble little green 1 cent stamp up to its stately, aristo- cratic brother, which staggers under the weight of a $5 valuation. Also 15 colors are used in printing the stamps. A pauso here for reflection will Pree ably convince the most observant pbr- son that he is unfamiliar with several of these colors; that 1s, of course, in connection with stamps. We all know the 1, 2, 5 and 10 cent stamps. But to be able to call to mind just what those 15 colors are means a wide ob- servation as well as a careful one. For the benefit of those who fail to solve this self appointed riddle the answer 1s this: Four shades of blue, two of green and two of brown, red, yellow, olive, orange, purple, lavender and dark slate. ‘The stamps which leave the bureau annually amount to more than $10,- 000,000, the latest yearly report show- ing the number to be 10,003,265,148. That brings the daily output down to 83,334,000 odd. Taking the yearly to- tal in connection with the latest cen- sus report for the entire, United States, {t Is seen that each year every man, woman and child in the country uses approximately 110 stamps. The paper on which the stamps are print ed comes to the bureau direct from the manufacturers in sheets nine and one-fourth by ten and three-elghths inches, that being the required size for printing 100 stamps, More than 96,500,000 sheets are used in a year, while the daily consumption is about 322,000. The figures regarding the cost of production are also interesting. The total cost of production, as before mentioned, is $511,000, Of that amount the greater portion is paid out in sal- aries to the 600 employes necessary in the manufacture of the stamps, The remainder 1s expended for paper, ink, gum and plates. The cost of the paper annually ts $50,000, The amount used dafly amounts to about $167. This paper for one year weighs 450 odd tons, while a ton and a half is used every day. Both the ink and gum used, the former in printing and the latter on the back of the stamps, are made at the bureau, The ink, purchased in its dry form, weighs more than 200 tons—enough for one year—while al- most three-fourths of a ton is used daily. The cost of the dry ink is $38,500 a year, or $128 every day. The sum, purchased in the same form, is secured {n equally large quantities, the amount sufficient for a year welgh- ing 315 tons, with the daily consump- tion amounting to one ton, The cost of this, however, fs less than the ink, as the yearly supply costs $15,000; the dally, $50. Working for Women. Miss Constance Leupp, daughter of the former commisstoner of Indian af- fairs, is vice-president of the new Con- sumer’s league of Washington, which has just started a movement In the District of Columbia to better the conditions of manufacture and sale and to secure better wages for work- ers, especially women and children, The league is now conducting an in- vestigation into the hours of labor and the earnings of the women, and children in the District. It is said that many young girls who have no homes are working in stores at $2 and $3 a week. Tough Flour. “I wish to complain,” sald the bride, haughtily, “about that flour you sold me.

It {s the color of emerald, or shamrock, or something equally as green and dear, It grows bountifully upward from the top basin of the fount and then falls in feathery or plumey masses, veiling all the ironwork of the fountain and hiding the bubbling and dripping water. Of course, it is a marine plant. Thous- ands of persons passing the treasury have stopped and stared at this green growth, asked many questions. Enter the treasury, go to the cap- tain of the watch and ask, “What is that?” One of the Civil war veterans on gurd there, glittering in a silver shield ag big as a dishpan, will prob- ably say: “You are the ten thousandth man and the twenty thousandth woman to come here with that question, Nobody in the treasury know what the thing was, 80 we sent for one of the plant sharps at the National Botanic garden. He told us what the thing was, but still we did not know and could never remember, so we got him to write {t out and then we pasted the name in this ledger. If you can read it you may.” ‘The watchman will open an impres sive book and you may read this, the name of the plant: “Myriophylum Prosefinacordiss.” By common persons this strange water plant 1s sometimes called “par. rot feather.” Should you go to Washington, be sure to see this wonderful plant, ADOPT HOBO SIGN LANGUAGE House Doorkeeper invents System to Stop Petty Pan-Handling Around Capitol. The doorkeepers of the house of resentatives have adopted the hobo sign language, and they say it works like a charm. One of the pages in- vented the ‘system to assist in put- ting as many crimps as possible into the petty pan-handling that goes on around the capitol. "The other day a flashy looking indi- vidual approached the doorkeeper at the main entrance to the floor of the house, flipped out a card and haugh- tily asked that it be sent in to Repre- sentative Sereno Payne, of tariff fame. It was then that one of the tricks of the “Weary Willie’ code was worked, ‘The doorkeeper sized up the visit- or as one of those pestiferous per sons who make life a burden to states- men. He passed the stranger's card to a page, but before doing so he turn- ed down the upper left-hand corner in such a manner that the flashy looking man never noticed it That turned down corner meant in the slang lan- guage, “Nothing doing.” The house page rushed in on the fior at Joe Dawson speed, noted the turned down corner and threw the card into the waste basket. Then he sauntered over to the pages’ corner, back of the big screen on the Repub- Hcan side, matched nickels with oné of his fellow-pages, and, after the lapse of a polite length of time, returned with the information that Congress- man Payne was out. The New York member sat nodding at his desk, touch- ing elbows with Uncle Joe Cannon and John Dalzell, oblivious of the fact that he had just been sought. Uncle Sam’s Rat Hunt. ‘The government Is to become a mod- ern competitor of the Pied Piper of Hamlin as an exterminator of rats. But the magic of the Pied Piper's flute is to be displaced by the most im- proved, modern, double-action steel: jawed rat trap that American inven- tive genius can furnish, Through Surgeon General Bliss of the public health and marine hospital service, the government has asked for demonstrations of rat traps. The gov- ernment wants traps to exterminate rodents which carry the bubdnic plague from seaport to seaport. The trap which proves most efficacious will be recommended by the govern: ment for use in American ports where the plague-carrying rat may be ex pected. As a means of promoting its coun- try-wide campaign against the plague the service has issued a circular spect- fying the proper method of poisoning rats. This has been sent to every American port. ‘Towel Problem Solved. Postmaster General Hitchcock has solved the towel- problem that con- fronts other executive departments. When the “laundry trust” of Washing- ton jumped up the prices on towels Mr, Hitchcock installed a plant to launder the postoffice department tow- els. Local laundries laundered 100 towels for 32 cents last’ year. This year the price demanded is 75 cents. Up to recently one towel a week was allowed to each of the 1,800 em- ployes of the department. Now each employe {s allowed three towels a week. The department towels are washed by a machine owned by the government, and operated by a person paid $580 annually. Last year when the price of ice went too high, Mr. Hitchcock estbiished a small {ce fac- tory, and makes his own ice, saving the government several hundred dol- lars annually. ~ Private Dining Room.

CALLING WILD BIRDS Imitation That Is Not at All Hard to Achieve Given a Musical Ear With a Little Study the Substitute Will Be an Easy Matter—Naturalness First Requisite. In order to call birds with much success a good musical ear is certainly needed; but any one with patience can lure birds near or bring from them an answer merely by whistling an imitation of their notes. The observer can call numbers of birds to him by sucking his finger or the back of his hand. The sound produced is like that made by a young bird in distress. No other sound will so speedily attract birds, and their response is a touching evidence of the natural affections that they possess. Although this is the best way to bring many birds near, and bring them with dispatch, it has serious drawbacks. Those that come are likely to be fearful and excited, their voices are querulous and their bearing unnatural. Therefore, the experience is not nearly so satisfying or instructive as that of luring a single bird through the powers of attraction and charm, rather than through rousing curiosity and fear. Move quietly and try to put yourself in the bird's place. This act of mind will soften and mellow your whistle, and it will give you a much better chance of success. Perhaps its first answer will be a half-amused, half-annoyed note of surprise that any bird should whistle so strongly. When a bird is sighted or is thought to be within call give your first whistles gently, and give them to yourself, in order to make sure that you are on the right key. And as far as possible avoid the appearance of being a lurker or an object of suspicion. Act naturally. The song of a bird cannot really be well imitated, even by experts, but with a little listening and practice the amateur can whistle the different calls. This innocent, instructive, and diverting pastime proves a great delight to those who love the woods and fields and the wild things that live in them. "Beauty" Treatment Failed. "Beauty" Treatment Failed. Because she had a "sweet sixteen" cheek on one side of her face and a much wrinkled and faded "past fifty" cheek on the other a woman in Lyons, France, secured $5,000 damages from a beauty doctor much patronized in that city. She alleged disfigurement, and the judge agreed that her face did look very much like a walking certificate of feminine deceit. The doctor advertised in the newspapers that he could restore the beauty of youth by grafting—lifting the skin and sewing it again to the forehead under the hair. Madame Berthe Peully thought she would like to be a young girl again. She has buried two husbands and is now looking for No. 3. The beauty doctor operated. His method succeeded beautifully on the right cheek. The left one, however, refused to succumb to the treatment—a most provoking rebellion. "Have patience," pleaded the doctor, "we will yet succeed. See, Madame, the loveliness, the delicate youth of your right cheek!" The lady, however, could only see the faded accusativeness of the left side of her face. Indignant, ashamed, she sought her lawyer, who took the case into court, and won. ```markdown ``` His Lordship's Beard. A certain peer, an important figure in the Upper Chamber by reason of a very long and very bushy beard, had dismissed his valet for the night. Shortly afterwards, however, he was much annoyed to hear peals of laughter from below, and called back the man to explain. The valet answered that it was just a little joke, but his lordship would have none of it, and demanded the details angrily. "Well," admitted the man, with reluctance, "it was really a little game we were having, my lord." "What game?" "Well, my lord, a kind of guessing game." "Don't be a fool, Walters! I rang for you in order to get an explanation. What guessing game were you playing? Guessing what?" "We blindfolded the cook, to tell you the truth, my lord, and then one of us kissed her, and she had to guess who it was. The footman held the mop up, and she kissed it, and then cried out, "Oh, your lordship; how dare you!"—London Mall. Had the Last Smile A lady, having left her umbrella in a tram car, applied for it at the office. "Oh, you ladies, you ladies!" said the official in charge, as he brought about 30 umbrellas for her inspection; "you are so terribly forgetful." The lady smiled as she calmly pointed out to him that, with the exception of three, they were all gentlemen's umbrellas. Doing Very Well. He has no energy. "He has energy enough to roll his own cigarettes and to carry a large cane. You can't expect too much of a young feller." Reclaiming Hawaiian Island. The practically barren Hawaiian island of Lanai will be reclaimed by a water conservation scheme and devoted to sugar beet culture NOT CAST FOR FISH Game Warden Had the Line, but Little Else. Smiled When Caught With Two Lines Out, Which He Knew Was Contrary to the Law, and He Laughed Last. Zeb Jenkins came in sight and was walking pretty rapidly for him. Getting within halling distance he called out: "I jest see the funniest thing you ever see!" "What was it?" I asked when he got a little closer. He was so full of laugh and so out of breath through his unwonted exertions that he was entirely unable to say anything at first. But presently he began: "I been down to the lake all the mornin' trolin' fer pick'rel, Joe Bridges was out in a boat kind o lazyin' 'round fishin'. I passed him once and noticed he had two lines out. "Better look out," I says. "You're bustin' the law. You hain't up right to fish with more'n one line. The game warden's liable to show up any time." "O, pshaw!' he says. 'I ain't 'fraid o' no game warden; 'specially no such poor excuse as Bob Dawson." "All right," I says. "Ef he gits you, jest remember I warned you." "I rowed across to that deep place over near the other side. The fish got to bitin' purty good, and I forgot all about Joe and his two lines. The sun was hotter 'n it began to make me sleepy. By and by I heerd a shout: Hey, you, come in to shore! I want to see you.' I looked around, and it was the game warden, standin' on shore lookin' mighty important and yellin' to Joe. Joe looked up in a leisurely kind of way and says: "What do you want?" "You're arrested—that's what I want!" "All right,' says Joe; 'come and git me!" "By thunder, I will!' says the warden. "He goes and gits a boat and starts out toward whar Joe is. I kind o' moved over that way to watch proceedin's. Joe set still and kep' on fishin'. When the warden got close to Joe he yells out: 'Now, you come along here! you're vl-latin' the stattoots and I've caught you red-handed.' Joe didn't move, so he says ag'in: 'Come here!' "No, sir,' says Joe. 'I don't move an inch. Ef you want me so gold-danged bad, you'll hev to tow me ashore.' "Well, they didn't seem to be nothin' else to do, so the warden hitches a rope to Joe's boat and begins to row him toward land. Did you ever tow a boat single-handed? Well, then you know it ain't no easy job, 'specially in the hot-sun. The warden keeps rowin' and sweatin', and Joe sets back in his boat calm and serene like the Gatobar of Brooda, both lines trailin' behind. Finally they gits to shore, and the warden says: 'Now, pile out o' there.' "Joe steps out and stands on shore, and the warden jumps into Joe's boat and pulls in one line. Well, they ain't nothin' on it. He throws it into the boat and starts to pull in the other one." "‘Something on this!’ he says. With that he gives a yank and pulls in—what do you s'pose? Three bottles o' beer! Ha! Ha! I be'n laughin' ever sence. Never see any one look so dumfounded. Well, s'long! I got to git along and tell all the boys 'for the warden gits up here.'—Puck. Tough on the Old Man. The occasion was a choice little tea party on the lawn and the hostess was beaming and busy among her guests. "Yes," she remarked, "my little girl is very clever. She can imitate almost anyone." "She can, my dear," echoed the host delightedly. "Come, Alice, show what you can do. Pretend to be the housemaid." The little girl, eagerly enough, came forward and bowed to one of the guests. "Will you take some more tea, madam?" she asked politely. Then she turned to another guest: "May I move your chair, madam? The sunlight is very strong." At this the guests were exceedingly interested and asked for more. "Imitate your papa, dear," said one. Backing away from her father Alice exclaimed in a terrified tone: "Sir, let me go! Don't touch me, sir! Give you a kiss, indeed! Supposing the missus was to hear you?" Then the clever little darling was Then the clever little darling was wafted away suddenly. Real or Imitation. Sir Thomas Lipton was talking about pure food laws to a New York reporter. "And that reminds me," said Sir Thomas, "of my youth, when I was running my first shop and sleeping under the counter. "A rival in the next street was selling notoriously bad goods, and I heard a story about him with delight. "It seems that a customer entered his shop and asked for a pound of butter. "Yes, sir," said my rival. 'The real or the imitation, sir?' "What was it you sold me yesterday? inquired the customer. "That was the real, sir." "Then give me the imitation." HUQHITT SAYS MUST KNOW MEN TO SUCCEED The most consistently inconsistent human paradox of these strenuous times celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday anniversary in and about Chicago the other day rounding out a pretty fair record for having never done the expected thing at the expected time. PETER H. Inconsistency is his middle name. He revels in it by day and dreams by night of new outrages against the natural law and order of things. If we were scheduled to take the trip with Charon tomorrow morning he would either go tonight or wait until tomorrow afternoon, charter a scow and negotiate the Styx by himself. He has made a dozen or more millions out of his inconsistencies. With him they are marketable commodities with fixed values. His aptitude for the unexpected rescued him from the turmoil of a farmer's life and left him serene and satisfied at the head of a railroad system of some 9,000 miles of track and $200,000,000 of assets. This man—his name just happens to be Marvin Hughitt—spent his 27,383d day being exactly as consistent as he has been throughout the other 27,392. "I don't see why any one should be interested in my birthday anniversary," said Mr. Hughitt at his summer home in Lake Forest. "Why do they keep reminding me that I am getting so close to the end of my rope? "You know, I have a confession to make, and my birthday anniversary is a good time to make it. Really—I don't deserve half the credit I have been given for the remarkable success of the great railroad I happen to preside over. "I'll tell you the honest truth. It wasn't I who did it. It was the small army of efficient, and faithful men I had around me." Mr. Hughitt declared that the secret of advancing is to know men. Hughitt is not of the Hawley or Harriman type of railroad magnates. He was essentially a builder, never a gambler. His life has been one of constant and steady growth, with none of the great successes and failures which left both these others bent and seared. He is as straight as an Indian, alert and handsome as are few men at his age. The folks expected him to stay at home and make something of a celebration of the event. Instead he went to the office, intent upon running the railroad. But everybody at the office seemed to expect him, so he decided to go calling on friends. SUBJECTS OF KING OF SIAM PAY NO TAXES SUBJECTS OF KING OF SIAM PAY NO TAXES Traditional mental pictures of the king of Siam and the land over which he rules were ruthlessly destroyed the other day by Harry D. Warner, former Minneapolis man, who left America August 25 to return with his bride to Bankkok, the Siamese capital, where he is the representative of a big American corpotion. He made the long journey he Tales were ruthlessly de- stroyed the other day by Harry D. Warner, former Minneapolis man, who left America August 25 to return with his bride to Bank- kok, the Siamese capital, where he is the representative of a big American corpotion. He made the long journey to Minneapolis to marry Miss Harriet M. Riggs. Of Vajiravudh, king of Siam, Mr. Warner said: "Instead of having 600 wives and drowning the ones that displease him in sacks with wildcats, as the old-time story books used to say, he hasn't even one wife. "Instead of riding about on the back of an elephant, he owns forty automobiles and keeps them all in use. "Instead of being educated only in the mystic lore of the Orient, he is an Oxford graduate and the author of "The War of the Polish Succession." "Instead of shrouding his country in the traditional weird customs of the east, he is doing his best to make the land as occidental as possible. "Instead of surrounding himself with curiously robed white-bearded patriarchs to aid in the government, he pays J. I. Westengard of Chicago $25,000 a year to be special adviser, riding around in automobiles and thinking up new schemes for civic improvements. "Instead of oppressing his subjects, though he is an absolute monarch, he levies virtually no taxes at all, practically all of the revenues needed for the government being obtained from the crown teakwood forests and jewel mines. "Instead of maintaining a mysterious capital surrounded by an ancient wall, he has in Bangkok a modern city of nearly 700,000 inhabitants, paved and electric lighted, with an electric tramway system, four steam railroads, a fire department, police force, public health service, three newspapers, hospitals and European hotels. "Siam is no toy kingdom. The country is larger than England and Wales combined and has a population of 16,000,000. Though Buddhism is the state religion. Christianity is not discouraged." MRS. ADAMS' EXPERIENCES IN SOUTH AMERICA Mrs. Harriett Chalmers Adams, woman explorer of South America, Chairmen Adams of South America, and the wife of Franklin Adams of the Pan-American Union, has returned to the United States from another trip to hitherto unknown parts of South America. She has now traveled more than 40,000 miles on that continent. Speaking of her experiences, she says: "I have MARY BROWN gone through experiences such as, I am convinced, no white woman has had. I have circumnavigated the South American continent, covering more than 40,000 miles, and have penetrated savage wildernesses where no white man had ever been. I have climbed mountains, walked in the extinct crater of Mount Misti, wandered in regions of mountain cold where my eyelids froze, and, descending into the Amazonian wilderness, stayed in a region infested by vampires—creatures which until then I imagined to be pure myths. I have stood on the site of what is possibly the world's oldest civilization, and have studied ruins built before the time of Babylon." Mrs. Adams has spent about eight years in exploration. In this work and pleasure she discovered, high in the Andes, an unknown river of peat —an important geographical discovery, which sheds new light on the geologic formation of the continent. She was the first white woman to invade the interior wilderness of Peru, where she wandered about the sources of the Amazon, in company with jaguars, monstrous snakes and other wild animals, none of which ever harmed or even attacked her, which led Mrs. Adams to the conclusion that no wild beasts are dangerous unless first attacked themselves by men. On this trip Mrs. Adams came to a region infested by vampires, which previously she had believed to be mythical, and spent a night—the most horrible, she says, of her life—among them. On this occasion her husband and Indian guides were attacked and a number of their mules killed by the blood-sucking creatures, which measure three to four feet from tip to tip of their wings. LONDON LORD MAYOR'S EXPENSES EXCEED SALARY To be lord mayor of London costs a lot of money, the New York Times correspondent writes. He receives $50,500 a year in salary, free of income tax, but is expected to entertain lavishly; in fact, when the corporation in 1873 fixed the amount of his present emolument it recommended that the lord mayor should show hospitality and attention to JOHN H. BURKE the other municipalities of the kingdom, the representatives of the city gullds and the trading and commercial classes of London. Interest in the heavy pecuniary burden the lord mayor has to bear is revived through a motion pending in the city of London corporation in regard to the question of the lord mayor's expenses "owing to altered circumstances." Since 1873, when the matter of the lord mayor's salary was last discussed officially, the expenses of the office have increased enormously. Probably none of the incumbents of the office in recent years has been able to defray the costs of the honor out of his salary, large as it is. It is asserted that one lord mayor-spent $150,000 in his year of service out of his own pocket, while the minimum expenditure is said to be about $40,000. Away back in 1774, the year before the system of compensating the lord mayor through certain dues was abolished. John Wilkes received about $21,000 and spent more than $41,000. After Wilkes' term the salary for 60 years was $5,000 with some allowances, and later these included about $16,500 paid by the corporation for the expenses of the mansion house, the lord mayor's official residence. This system was in force until the present salary was granted. In addition to what he now receives, the corporation spends from $30,000 to $40,000 a year on mansion house expenses. Those who have witnessed the lord mayor's show get an idea of one very heavy burden which the lord mayor had to bear in part. When the present lord mayor assumed office, the "show" included a historical pageant with costumes that were worth a small fortune. Fashion's Dire Requirement: The greatest destruction of wild animal life in the history of Siberia was caused last year by the requirements of fashion. The returns for the fur trade—$4,000,000—exceeded those of 1910 by half a million dollars. Growing Hops In Italy. Successful experiments in hop growing have been made in Italy.

NEWS CAUSES ANGER LIPS OF SLAYER CURL AS MES SAGES SENT TO HIS WIFE ARE READ. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Amarillo, Tex.—"Your moy ofrever, Al Boyce." Thus ended the letters read in the court room here. They sizzle with burning, undying affection and, like a message from the tomb, reached the ears of John Beal Speed who is fighting for liberty. Friends say Mrs. Lena Sneed, at Calvert, Texas, is awaiting a visit from the stork. They say that Sneed is doubly bitter on this account, and they ascribe this as the reason why the lips of the slayer curled and his eyes flashed fire, then he wept, when the letters between the dead man and the woman about to become a mother were read to the world. The letters are numerous and cover the period from the arrest of young Boyce and Mrs. Sneed in Winnipeg, nine months ago, until a few days before Boyce was killed here, September 14th, by Sneed. All of the letters are written in most affectionate terms, the majority of them beginning: "My Precious Lena" or "My Darling Lena," and ending: "Your boy forever, Al Boyce." It is these letters which caused the banker, John Beal Sneed, to plan every detail of the murder of his old rival in love, and upon them Sneed relies for acquittal when his trial commences. Len Boyce, brother of the slain man, was first put on the stand to identify the handwriting of Al Boyce, which he did, reluctantly. One of the first letters read says: "We are going through lots of suffering and sorrow, precious, and I love you with an undying love and will to the end. Life at present is one long, aching void, and I do miss you and long for you to comfort me. Your boy forever, Al Boyce." While Judge Browning's court room was not packed to its capacity there were many women present. The deputy sheriffs searched as usual all persons entering the room for firearms. They found a handle of a tub in a boy's pocket and even took that away. CANVASS NEARLY COMPLETE. State Board Finds Tierney and Bulkeley Run Neck and Neck. Denver. — The State Canvassing Board has about completed its work on the returns from the primary election. The only contest is that between John I. Tierney and M. M. Bulkeley, candidates for the Democratic nomination for state senator from the twenty-second senatorial district. Tierney claims that he has 4,097 votes and that Bulkeley has 4,093. Bulkeley, however, says that he is thirteen votes ahead. The canvassing board appointed one of its members, State Auditor Leddy, to meet with both candidates and go over the returns and settle the question. Weld County Horses Dying. Kerscy.

"Buy Your China and Glassware Right" WISCONSIN SENATOR NOT FOR PROHIBITION M. Senator La Follette, the Progressive Republican, who was the choice of many of his party for President before the Republican convention, and who is known as a clean, progressive, patriotic statesman, is opposed to state-wide prohibition. This developed incidentally at the New Jersey Camp Meeting grounds at Atlantic City, when the Rev. J. T. Scott, an Indian missionary of forty years' standing, while Senator La Follette was on the platform addressing the audience, called to him from the floor: "Senator, may I ask you one question?" "Go ahead," said the Senator. "Do you believe in prohibition?" Without a moment's hesitation, although the question was wholly foreign to the issues being discussed, the Senator answered: "NO." The crowd cheered and the Senator continued. We have already learned that President Taft and Woodrow Wilson are out of sympathy with state-wide prohibition enactments and thus the emphatic declaration of Senator La Follette makes a strong case against CONSTITUTIONAL prohibition. It would bankrupt the English language to attempt to give all of the reasons why a state-wide prohibition law fails. The main reason, however, involves the accepted principle, that "laws which are not supported by a strong public sentiment fail in application." President Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Robert La Follette and hundreds of other leaders in thought have declared against the wisdom of adopting such a law as state-wide prohibition; yet, such authorities emphatically endorse our present local option law, contending that in such matters as the regulation of the sale of liquor and deciding the license question, home rule and local self-government is to be desired. Remember, the defeat of state-wide prohibition leaves the license question to be decided by the people. Communities that are now dry remain dry; licenses can only be granted where a majority of the voters in a community approve of such a course. This is as it should be. Vote NO on the state-wide prohibition question, thus: YES NO X MORE PROOF OF THE FAILURE OF PROHIBITION. Governor Brewer of Mississippi Says: Can't Enforce the Law. (From the Mobile Register, August 17, 1912) (By Governor Brewer "My attention has just to an article which appears Sunday's paper that purports an open letter from you which it is stated that you formed that never before been such a wide open sai And now comes additional evidence of the failure of prohibition from far away Mississippi. Mrs. Harriet B. Wells, president of the Mississippi W. C. T. U. has written to the governor of her state informing him that NEVER BEFORE has there been such wide open sale of liquors as is now being experienced in the cities of "DRY" Mississippi. Vicksburg is said to be a veritable pool of liquor and the conditions are steadily becoming worse. In reply to the complaint of the W. C. T. U. leader the governor of the state is reported to have written the following: WILLIAM J. BRYAN VOTED AGAINST. In his home state, Nebraska, when the issue of state-wide prohibition versus local option was voted on, Mr. Bryan cast his vote against state-wide prohibition. In explaining his vote he spoke as follows; "So far as my personal habits go, I am a teetotaler, never having used liquor as a beverage, but I voted against state-wide prohibition because at President Taft and Woodrow with state-wide prohibition enact-relaration of Senator La Follette CONSTITUTIONAL prohibition. lish language to attempt to give wide prohibition law fails. The is the accepted principle, that by a strong public sentiment fail Wilson, Robert La Follette and ought have declared against the as state-wide prohibition; yet, endorse our present local option matters as the regulation of the license question, home rule and irred. state-wide prohibition leaves the the people. Communities that es can only be granted where a unity approve of such a course. prohibition question, thus: (By Governor Brewer) "My attention has just been called to an article which appeared in a last Sunday's paper that purported to be an open letter from you to me, in which it is stated that you are informed that never before has there been such a wide open sale of illicit liquors in that city, referring to Vicksburg. This condition of affairs, I am informed, has existed for the last two years of the administration of my predecessor, and I understand that you frequently conferred with him on the subject, and that you were advised by him and by the late C H. Alexander that the governor was without power to enforce the statute. "Such steps as are within the power given or could be taken within the limits prescribed by the constitution and laws, I have already taken. In fact, I think I have gone the limit, and if you have any suggestions to offer that will aid or assist me in an honest effort to enforce this statute I would be glad to receive them." I thought the license system we had, with LOCAL OPTION, WAS BETTER SUITED TO THE CONDITIONS WE HAD TO MEET IN OUR STATE." The defeat of the prohibition submission will mean the retention of our LOCAL OPTION LAW. Communities that are now dry will continue so. It is an old axiom that laws not founded on right and reason cannot be enforced. Prohibition by force spells failure; it produces evil, as the tree beareth fruit of its kind.
