PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY WILSON AND EMANCI- PATION Chairman of the Republican National Committee Points Out Where Choice of Democrats for President Attacked Abraham Lincoln. VOL. XIX. WILSON Chairman of the Republican Nation Choice of Democrats for Presid "At this time when the Negroes throughout the United States are celebrating in various ways the fiftieth anniversary of the first proclamation of emancipation and when the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, Woodrow Wilson, is appealing to the people of the Western States to support him, it is fitting that the chairman of the political committee organized to further the cause of the candidates of the Republican party for President and Vice President should call attention to an expression of opinion by Gov. Wilson at a period in his career when possibly he never dreamed of being a candidate for a political office. That expression of opinion as made in his capacity of historian, and it adds to the cumulative testimony that he was until he became a candidate, and that he is now, un-American in his views of public questions and at heart contemptuous of more than one class of American citizens and out of sympathy with their aims, their purposes, and their beliefs. It was on September 22, 1862, that President Lincoln issued a proclamation giving formal notice that unless the Southern States returned to their allegiance to the Union within one hundred days he would declare the slaves within their borders free, and it was on the 1st of January, 1863, following that a definite proclamation of emancipation was issued. Of this crowning event of the career of the immortal Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson says in his "History of the American People," written forty years afterwards: The proclamation, when it came was no law, but only his (Lincoln's) deliberate declaration of policy for himself and for his party; and changed, as he meant that it should change, the whole air of the struggle and of politics as well. "It is safe to say that not even the most radical unreconstructed Southern man would attribute to Lincoln this motive which it remained for the historian Woodrow Wilson alone to discover, that Lincoln abolished slavery to further his own political ambitions and those of his political party. The statement adds proof to much already at hand that Woodrow Wilson forty years after the war, was, and presumably still is devoid of sympathy for the motive and results of the Civil War. "The quotations from the Democratic candidate's writings proves that he is not a reliable historian nor a fair commentator. It goes to show what had been often asserted, that Gov. Wilson is not at heart an admirer of or a believer in American institutions, as his other writings and speeches show that he is not a eulogist of American industries nor a defender of American labor. He continuously slanders millions of adopted citizens from abroad who have become good Americans. He sneers at trade unions and apparently he would, if he could, close every American mill and buy in foreign markets, because in the first place he is an aristocrat born and bred and because he wants the American people to buy where they can buy the cheapest. "Everything that can be learned about Gov. Wilson from his writings, from his speeches, and from his manner of living, indicate that he is not the type of man who can successfully appeal for the support of the American people." DISREGARD COLOR LINE Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 22 — Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, preached in the Kansas City Cathedral today to a congregation that filled the building. "When it comes to the relief of human suffering," said the Cardinal, "we should not be stopped by differences of color, race or nationality or of religion." He urged the co-operation of capital and labor, saying, "Let brain and brawn mind and physical forces, capital and labor be one and inseparable." A luncheon in honor of the Cardinal was given by the Catholic clergy and prominent laymen of the city this afternoon, and later he addressed the children of the parochial schools at the residence of Bishop Lillis. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5 1912. CHARLES W. WATERMAN, Republican Candidate for U. S. Senator (Short Term). Chas. W. Waterman, candidate on the regular Republican ticket for the short term in the United States Senate, is indeed one of Colorado's most splendid citizens, and a fitting representative of the stalwart progressive and uncompromising westerner, and we have no hesitancy in presenting his name to our hosts of readers and friends for their suffrage. He was born of poor parents, way up in the hills of Vermont, in November, 1861, at the sunrise of those stirring times and days in the history of the country that tried men's souls. He attended the village school of the district, and through courage and perseverance, privation and a determination, characteristic of a noble New England parentage, he entered college and from there went to the university, where he completed his course in law. To say the least of him, he was ambitious, ambitious for that kind of knowledge which would give him a constructive intuition, an idealistic love for his fellowman and the spirit, the samaritan spirit of fidelity to trust confided in him. Imbued with such utopian ideas, born with a sterling and impeachable character, there was, neither is there now, any power strong enough to retard his progress. The Republicans of the state, detecting within him those rare requisite qualities of constructive statesmanship, have recommended him to voters of Colorado for the high office of United States Senator. A part of the commonwealth of this state confirmed that recommendation on primary day by giving him a large majority on his party ticket, and we feel, according to the signs of the times, that on the fifth of November that all the people of this commonwealth will further confirm that recommendation by giving him a large majority and send him to Washington, where he will represent the interests and general welfare of a great and fast-growing agricultural and mining state. A man whose sympathies are in harmony with the present national administration, a man who believes in the fundamental principle of government being honestly and faithfully worked out along progressive and conservative lines. The money interests of our state, commercial, agricultural and mining, in order to be fostered must be safeguarded by sane laws and regulations. In Mr. Waterman we have a man who is conversant with its conditions and if elected to the high office of Senator, he is pledged to see to it that these interests are properly safeguarded. In dealing with grave and national issues he has the ability to cope with it in such a manner that Colorado will feel proud of her native son and the people of the country will realize as never before that out of the fastness of these western mountains comes a real and worthy and valuable statesman. See to it, that you elect a man to office, as your servant, who will work out what he has at hand, and not a chaser of air bubbles on a Socialist sky. All true Americans are believers in the doctrine of the government of, for and by the people, when and so far as the people are "Right." Chas. Waterman, we are pleased to say, will lose no time, valuable as it is, chasing "wildcat" dangerous Socialist reform measures. This is an age of practical things and not the ories. NO 4 Klaw and Erlanger have made arrangements for Bert Williams to appear next summer in London, the financial consideration involved being $1,750. Although it has not been made public where the colored comedian is to play, it is believed that he will make his London debut at the Palace. Prescott has exactly five Negro children of school age, and still is under the purview of an act of the legislature which calls for segregation of school children of African descent. So, until directed otherwise by the courts, the five are to be segregated by being taught together in a corner of one of the schoolrooms. Los Angeles Times. The Parker House of Boston, Mass., has been turned over to colored waiters. The house is first class, employing about a hundred waiters. The manager says he has had his fill of unions. The success of the colored boys is considered quite a victory. We are not among those who feel that the colored boys should have all of the hotel work, even if is merely waiting table. They should have a good share of it, however, since they don't get a square industrial deal. Nashville, Tenn.—On last Tuesday night a crowded car leaving the station was the scene of a lively tilt between a white man and a student of Fisk University. The white man struck the student in the face, breaking his glasses. No sooner had he struck the student than he found himself stretched across one of seats from a student uppercut. From that time on it was the student's fight. When the white man struck the young student he broke his glasses and cut his face. The blood flowed freely, and the young man had to stop often and wipe away. This was the only time his fist or his foot was not pressing hard against his white friend. No one took any part in the fracas expect the student and the white man. One white passenger was heard to remark that so long as the white people resided in that colored community they should make up their minds to behave. It seems that this white man had taken a seat in the rear of the car and when a colored student who was a stranger here and not accustomed to the rules took a seat by this white man he became enraged and shoved him off the seat. When he did so the student took his part, with the above result. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR EIGN COUNTRIES.

They surprised him by escorting him to a dinner at the Auditorium hotel, where he found himself the guest of honor at the close of the quarterly meeting of the executive committee. And the dinner, although purely complimentary, became in effect a gathering for the inspiration of the association's labor to make Colorado the leading state in work for the religious betterment of youth. The Rev. Mr. Carman himself so characterized the occasion. Garden of the Gods Dedicated. Colorado, Springs.—The Garden of the Gods has been formally presented to the city of Colorado Springs and dedicated to the use of the entire world. Honor was paid to the memory of the late Chas. E. Perkins, whose children and heirs carried out his wishes that the great natural park be preserved to the people. With simple ceremonies and in the presence of members of the Perkins family, a large bronze tablet, placed on the north rock of the Gateway, was unveiled and the formal transfer of the Garden of the Gods to the City of Colorado Springs completed.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Advices from Paris, France, state that the idea of making up for the numerical inferiority of the annual French conscription contingent for the army, as compared with that of Germany, by redrafting a corps of black troops drawn from French West Africa into the Continental forces has long been broached. It will not meet with acceptance yet awhile. But every, now and then the campaign in favor of the scheme is pushed a step forward. Thus, the governor of French West Africa, having been asked by the war office for 5,000 black troops for Morocco, cabled within forty-eight hours undertaking to supply the required contingent in six months time. On the other hand, a permanent force of native troops is being organized in the colony, whence reinforcements can be drawn when wanted. Le Matin takes these arrangements as a text to argue in favor of the regular employment of black troops. By the new year France will have over 15,000 men of the latter under arms. By 1914 the force will fall little short of 20,000. That is the strength of an army corps, and "France will thus possess twenty-one, instead of twenty, army corps." The Twenty-first Army Corps, if employed in time of war, must necessarily be employed on the European Continent. Any scheme for drafting it into Algeria, to enable the French troops stationed there to be available elsewhere, would arouse the Arab population to revolt. Will European opinion ever stomach the employment of black troops in European warfare? Perhaps, if pressed by superior numbers, France would override European opinion. The fifth annual convention of the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses was in session recently in Richmond, Va. There were between forty and fifty nurses in attendance, coming from different sections of the country. Miss Mary F. Clarke, president of the association, presided over the deliberations of the body. There were many excellent papers read during the session, among which were "General Nursing," Miss Gusie W. William, superintendent of Richmond hospital; "Homes for Nurses," Mrs. W. A. Frazier, Washington, D. C.; "Mental Nursing," Mrs. Ada Franklin, Petersburg, Va.; "Special Nursing," Mrs. Clara Rolins, Washington, D. C.; "Chronic Nursing," Miss Bessie Hunter; "Nursing in America as a Profession," Miss E. Miller of Philadelphia. Others papers were read by Miss M. E. Baltimore, Harrisburg, Pa.; Miss M. A. Sandusky, Jacksonville, Fla.; Ida B. Eason, Virginia; Dr. W. H. Hughes, Richmond. "The Relationship of the Nurse to the Physician." "The Mistakes of the Past and the Outlook for the Future," a round table talk, was one of the most interesting features of the convention. The address of welcome was made by Prof. D. Webster Davis. The response was by Miss Florence Fordham of Orangeburg, S. C. The officers elected were: Miss Mary F. Clarke, president; Miss M. Davis, first vice-president; Miss E. C. Christie, Chester, Pa., second vice-president; Miss Florella Porter, Orangeville, S. C., recording secretary; Miss C. S. Morgan, corresponding secretary; Miss M. R. Tucker, treasurer. The installation address was made by Dr. H. L. Harris. When a fellow finds fault about everybody, where is the fellow who doesn't find fault with him? Women must work that some men may weep—those paid good salaries by some socialistic concern. Life is not so short, but that there it always time enough for courtesy.—Emerson. Woman has a smile for every joy and a tear for every sorrow.—Germain Francois Poullain de Saint Foix. There is one thing that people won't stand in any man, and that is for him to feel that he is "above them." The lesson of life is to believe what the years and the centuries say against the hours.—Emerson. Only he who lives a life of his own can help the lives of other men.—Phillips Brooks. The dishonest man is apt to find the people a rather suspicious lot. Many a man who is not perfect is a tolerably good fellow, and useful in a modest way. If a man cares for his friends, as much as they care for him, believe him; but when he thinks they care more for him, he's only fooling himself. The dancer who is to lecture upon how to attract men won't even need the illustrative art of dancing in her talks. Three things a wise man will not trust—the wind, the sunshine of an April day, and woman's plighted faith. Robert Southey. Some time ago the question of putting negro policemen on the force was mooted. There was much diversity of opinion wherever discussed. There are those who believe that a colored officer might get killed, and they are very solicitous as to his welfare. They have a perfect horror at the thought of an officer being killed if he be of African descent, but they have little or no concern about a colored man being shot to death in citizens clothes. There are those who think that a colored policeman should not arrest any one except colored people: while there are still others who think that being a policeman is a white man's job. None of these elements will ever do much toward restoring law and order in Dallas, where we have a murder every time we have a week. Those charged with the responsibility of gaining a good name for Dallas and preserving the same must rise above these petty notions and adopt measures and select men to carry those measures into effect without for a moment stopping to consider the question of the color or race of the man. The Dallas Express wants to see negroes on the police force. We believe it will create a better feeling. The colored officer will necessarily spend much of his time with negroes. The better element of negroes will feel freer to help him hunt down a criminal than they will to help a white man. In other words, the city is entitled to the experiment. Let us try it. If it does no good we can stop it before it does much harm.—Dallas (Tex.) Express. From a standpoint of interesting clinics, instructive papers, attendance, entertainment and enthusiasm, the fourteenth annual season of the National Medical association, held at Tuskegee institute, was the most successful in the association's history. One of the features of the session was the daily clinics, 499 persons going to the institute's hospital for medical and surgical attention in four days. The news that the leading colored physicians and surgeons of the country would gather at Tuskegee in annual session and conduct daily clinics led to one of the most extraordinary scenes ever witnessed at far-famed Tuskegee. For miles around negroes who had been suffering with some affliction for months, and in some cases years, hled themselves to the institute to put themselves under the examination of doctors. The physicians were deeply touched by the pathetic appeal for medical aid, and quite often did the patient leave the hospital greatly benefited by his visit. Some crippled and infirm walked from sixteen to eighteen miles to Tuskegee institute while others drove a distance of thirty miles. Nashville was chosen as the next place of meeting and Dr. J. A. Kenney of Tuskegee institute, was elected president at the annual election of officers, which resulted as follows: J. A. Kenney, M. D., Tuskegee institute, president; D. A. Ferguson, D. D. S., Richmond, Va., vice-president; Dr. C. A. Wilkerson, Mobile, Ala., second vice-president; Dr. J. R. Levy, Florence, S. C., treasurer; Dr. W. G. Alexander, Orange, N. J., secretary. Edna G. Weaver, twenty years old, who took examination for seven different civil service positions open to women at Kansas City, holds first place in six of them and second place in the other. Two things have recently stirred Chicago. First, the meeting of the Business League, and secondly, the generous gift to Negro education on the part of Julius Rosenwald. In some publications the gift of Mr. Rosenwald to Negro education has been misunderstood. It has been stated by several papers that this gift of $25,000 goes to Tuskegee, which is denied. The money is simply placed into the hands of Booker T. Washington to be distributed as he deems wise among the smaller schools of the south.

Nolan of Toledo, declared that inmates of poorhouses usually were permitted to die "like animals without summoning priest or clergy man." Grave abuses in expending funds, she said, demanded the attention of voters. IBISH; DEEY KING GEORGE Ulster Lords Pledge to Ignore Home Rule Decree. Ballymoney, Ireland—Within gunshot of the famous Glens where Rory the Rapparee, held at bay the power of the invading Scotch covenanters and fought the last battles in Dalriada for the vanquished Stewarts, the Irish lords bade defiance to any decree of king and commons, placing the government of Ireland in the hands of a nationalist parliament. [Fifty thousand excited Unionists with flaunting banners and brass, fife and drum bands from Derry, Antrim and Down, listened to the right honorable, the earl of Kilmorey, pledging the lords of Uister never to submit to "the degradation of the North at the bidding of the pope's henchmen." Woman Risks Life to Save Grandchild Montrose—Unmindful of her own danger, Mrs. J. C. Frees stood in the center of a room filled with flames, with her skirts wrapped tightly about her 3-year-old grand-daughter, Harriet Lacher, until her husband rushed into the room, dragged woman and child outside the house and smothered the fire enveloping them. Colorado Free of Plague. Denver.—"Colorado horse owners need have no fear; the mysterious disease that in the last few months has killed thousands of horses, valued at $1,000,000, in western Kansas, while it got a start in certain parts of Colorado, is entirely in control." Dr. W. W. Yard, state veterinary, who arrived in Denver from an inspection trip through western Kansas and eastern Colorado, made this statement. He found several cases near Holly. These animals were brought into Colorado before this state established a quarantine. BLACK IN PENITENTIARY FOR SAFE-KEEPING, HANGED IN CORRIDORS. GUARDS OVERPOWERED LOCKED IN CELLS WHILE AS SAULTER OF WHITE WOMAN IS DANGLED ON ROPE. Western New Paper Union News Service. Rawlins, Wyo.—Crouched in an inner cell in the Wyoming penitentiary listening to the angry cries of over sixty convicts as they decreed his fate, Frank Wigfall, a negro, was a moment later dragged from his cell, a rope was flipped in a half-hitch around his neck and he was tossed over the third tier of the prison cell-house to death by hanging. Wigfall, who was charged with attacking Mrs. Esther Higgins, seventy-three years old, was taken from the city jail and confined in a cell in the penitentiary, in order to keep him away from the mob of angry Rawlins citizens, who had been making threats of lynching. The lynching is perhaps the first of the kind in history. Never before, so far as known, has a group of convicts seized a fellow-prisoner and hanged him for crime. HUMAN BEHIND HOGS. Declares Expert on Eugenics at Indianapolis Meeting. Indianapolis, Ind.—"The human race has not kept pace with the improvement in the blueblooded breeds of hogs and cattle within the last 100 years," Dr. William A. Evans of Chicago said in his address before the National Conservation Congress. "Eugenics has been neglected and as a result nations have waned and families disappeared." Dr. Evans said that vegetable and animal life each complements the other and that the high death rate in crowded cities is due in great measure to the lack of vegetable life. C. & S. Distributee $340,000. Denver.—The Colorado & Southern distributed $340,000 in dividends to the holders of its preferred stock. It was the semi-annual dividend of 2 per cent. The 2 per cent on its common stock, which is usually payable in December, will probably be declared this year as usual. Gave $400,000 for T. R. Election. Washington.—George R. Sheldon, former treasurer of the Republican national committee, testified before the Clapp committee that in 1904 the Standard Oil Company contributed $100,000, J. P. Morgan & Co. $100,000, H. C. Frick $100,000, and George J. Gould $100,000. Sheriff's Wife Catches Jail Breakers. Springfield, Mo.-In the absence of her husband, Mrs. John S. Hufft, wife of Sheriff Hufft, trailed two fugitives from the Laclede county jail at Lebanon to Springfield and, alided by local officers, recaptured Guy Jarnhardt, a white man, and Herbert Nash, a negro, who broke jail there. Sulzer Named by New York Democrats Syracuse, N. Y.-It took four ballots for the Democratic state convention to nominate Congressman William Sulzer for governor. Martin H. Cliffin was nominated for lieutenant governor. Produced 8,003,755,000 Gallons of Beer Washington — Nearly 8,003,745,000 gallons of beer was the world's production in the year 1910, according to a report to the state department from Consul Helingartnew at Liege, Belgium, quoting figures from the Action Economique. Of this enormous amount, 7,925,000,000 gallons were consumed during the same period. The United States occupied first place among the beer-producing countries, with an output of 1,908,010,377 gallons. Germany was second, with 1,703,666,460 gallons, manufactured by 13,186 breweries. Great Britain ranked third and Austria-Hungary fourth. Report Mrs. Forte Alive at Ranch. Report Mrs. Forte Alive at Ranch.

The fellow who thinks that Colorado is going to give any more time to rocking Democratic hobbies has an agreeable disappointment coming to him. Once more we rise to exclaim that the interests of the Colored citizen are not being properly recognized in the otherwise cautious plans being carried out by the Republican organization in Colorado. While the deliberations and actions of the state committee demonstrate the pleasant fact that the party is harmonious in its general desires, it remains obvious that certain rightful convictions on our part have not been given that weighty consideration which they deserve. Concessions to the popular demand in the choice of a candidate are no more necessary than is the conciliation of elements which are sure to express their honest sentiments in the great National conflict that is coming. What Democrat, in Congress or out, has ever condemned the Brownsville verdict as unjust to the Negro soldiers? Most Democrats condemn Republican administrations for having Negro soldiers at all! If Democracy has her way, what justice or honor will ever be accorded the Negro in the army of the United States? In every Democratic state in the Union the Negro soldier's presence is regarded with resentment and disgust. Will Negroes vote to turn over the absolute control of their soldiery to the tender mercies of those who despise and hate them? We cannot think it. THE COMING TEST. most of the Negro's self-re will be up to him re tial activity by which the case when he was slavery and adjust him aw, but it is a trial requi vital influences having The most severe test of the Negro's self-reliance that he has ever been called to face will be up to him next month. It is not a matter of industrial activity by which his daily wants may be provided for, as was the case when he was forced to step out of the heedless conditions of slavery and adjust himself to personal responsibilities strange and new, but it is a trial requiring a finer intelligence, a keener appreciation of vital influences having direct bearing upon his future welfare as a citizen and determining his capacity to employ and enjoy the privileges of a free man. This test is to be political and is to be fought out in the course of this campaign for the choosing of the President of the United States. Swift-moving events of the past four years have combined to bring about a complete change in the character of the issues upon which candidates for office go before the people. For more than forty years the colored voter has felt that the manner in which he cast his ballot had something to do with the opportunity he might enjoy to develop as a freeman and a citizen, and the solidarity of his political action has been an evidence of his faith and trust in the principles to which the Republican party has clung and which formed the basis and bulwark of the public life of the nation's greatest statesmen. But new ideas, vigorous and strong, have forged to the front in the last four years, and under the strenuous tutelage of men of great political power and dauntless personal will have driven into the background the sentiments as well as many of the live issues which heretofore appealed to the people, and with these sentiments and issues have given interests so vital to the Negro that their continued abandonment will mean the elimination of the Negro as an important political factor in all parts of the Union. This object has been accomplished practically already in the South, but the work in the North and West requires stranger and more subtle tactics. The abandonment of all race controversies in politics is to be the policy in the North and West, while in the South they remain actively dominant. Closer touch among the white people of the nation upon industrial matters, and a compromise of sectional feeling at whatever cost, is the ambition of these new thinkers and wonder-workers of the North and West. Their success will mean, first, an absolute change in the political character of the Republican party and of its attitude toward the Negro; and, second, the quick rejuvenation and sudden return to prolonged national power of the Democratic party. The Negro's political strength would then become of no avail, because its aid would be unnecessary and undesirable. Nothing but the solid opposition of the Negro voter to this transformation of the Republican party will thwart the success of these ambitious schemes, whose real source is to be found in the heart of the Bourbon South. The independent, self-saving judgment of the Negro must be aroused against the subtle plans by which this most cruel political prescription is expected to be attained. CLYDE C. DAWSON. The Colorado Statesman presents readers the picture and a short biography of C. Dawson, the Republican candidate long term. Mr. Dawson was born in 8, 1864. His parents were Dr. Jeb Dawson, both natives of the good old City, Colorado, in January, 1876, and graduated with the first class from spring of 1884, attended the Denver to Ann Arbor, Michigan, graduating in 1888.

His Republicanism a delegate to every Republican possible exception of one or more. He was a delegate from National Conventions of the office, yet he has been in name to go on the ticket, or belonged to any clique, always been one who was has urged in many conversions. Republican Candidate for U. S. Senator (Long Term). The Colorado Statesman presents to the consideration of its many readers the picture and a short biographical sketch of the Hon. Clyde C. Dawson, the Republican candidate for United States Senator for the long term. Mr. Dawson was born in Dallas County, Iowa, February 8, 1864. His parents were Dr. Jesse W. Dawson and Caroline Price Dawson, both natives of the good old state of Ohio. He moved to Cañon City, Colorado, in January, 1876, and attended the public schools, and graduated with the first class from the Cañon City High School in the spring of 1884, attended the Denver University in 1884-5; then went to Ann Arbor, Michigan, graduating from the Law Department in 1888. Commenced the practice of law in Cañon City in January, 1889, being a member of the firm of Waldo & Dawson, and later merged into the firm of Waldo, Dawson & Stump, from 1889 until his removal to Denver, where he entered the firm of Hayt, Dawson & Wright, January 1, 1910. Mr. Dawson has been largely interested in irrigation matters and the litigation growing out of such questions of which he is an authority. Being a public-spirited citizen he has always taken an active part in politics and hence he is eminently fitted to cope with all public questions of the day. His Republicanism has never been questioned. He has been a delegate to every Republican state convention since 1888, with the possible exception of one or two conventions when he was out of the state. He was a delegate from the Second Congressional District to the National Conventions of 1904 and 1908. He has never held a political office, yet he has been importuned by his many friends to permit his name to go on the ticket, but has always steadily refused. He has never belonged to any clique or faction of the Republican party, and has always been one who was unutterably opposed to machine control. He has urged in many conventions the giving of the [Image of a man with a mustache and a high collar, wearing a suit and tie. The background is plain and oval-shaped.] CLYDE C. DAWSON. opportunity for expression still believes in the form States the greatest country and among the civilized peoples why Mr. Dawson sheds, because he has always been principles, having gone on success. Second, because ar to the party's expense being the fact that it takes after party success or polls he is able, does not control through which he hopes at Mr. Dawson is a ripe set of the day and will up for the rights of his own Negro voter will receive to the white voter. What morely diagnosed the reasons mor, let us give several poen and Colored voters fae is still a young man and as to unload. He is a strong sympathizational ostracism. The situation we cannot oceans should not unanimize for the United States Serie he kind that thinks and his ideas in the interest of delegates the fullest opportunity for expression and action. He has always believed and still believes in the form of government which has made the United States the greatest country in the world and the greatest force for good among the civilized people of the world. There are several good reasons why Mr. Dawson should be elected United States Senator. First, because he has always been a loyal and earnest believer in Republican principles, having gone down or come up with the party in defeat or success. Second, because he has been a regular and liberal contributor to the party's expense bill. There is no denying the fact that it takes money to run a campaign. What seeker after party success or political preferment in this or any other state, if he is able, does not contribute to the success and expense of the party through which he hopes to raise the standard of good government? Mr. Dawson is a ripe scholar and is well posted on all economic subjects of the day and will use all the powers that he possesses to stand up for the rights of his constituents, irrespective of race or creed. The Negro voter will receive the same uniform courtesy that he extends to the white voter. What more could we ask? Now that we have rightfully diagnosed the reasons why Mr. Dawson politically deserves the honor, let us give several personal reasons why the Colorado Statesman and Colored voters favor his candidacy: First, because he is still a young man and in the prime of life, with no mossack issues to unload. Second, because he is a strong sympathizer with all people who suffer because of racial ostracism. As we look over the situation we cannot consistently see any reason why the Republicans should not unanimously elect Mr. Dawson to be Colorado's choice for the United States Senate. He will be a working senator, one of the kind that thinks and acts according to clear, common sense business ideas in the interest of the state and the whole people. Reactionary Advice.

It is difficult to determine the cause of most cases, and accidents, but during the investigation which followed the fatal accident to Lieutenant Sevelle recently in France an important discovery is said to have been made by eye-witnesses. This was that the wing of his Bleriot broke downward instead of upward, indicating that there was an extreme downward pressure as the operator started to volplane. Experiments lately made in France are said to have confirmed this, and it is now believed to be necessary to guy the wings as substantially above as below. --- Danger to Aviators. COLLAPSIBLE UMBRELLA In Paris no walking costume is complete without the "Stick." One has just been invented that is convertible into a parasol. One would not dream that the stick could conceal such a large sunshade. (On the left shows the sunshade as a cane, and on the right, used as an umbrella.) Photo.

Perhaps you have a perfectly good suit that was fresh from the tailor's hands last season and which you will want to wear now, provided it can be freshened a bit and altered to conform to the mode of the present. Naturally, you will want this change made with as little expense as possible, for it is not, after all, a last year's costume? At a glance you see that the coat is too short, the skirt too narrow and the collar and cuffs quite different from the newest patterns, and the question at once arises, "How can it be remodeled?" The coat, requiring the most attention, we will attend to first. Taffeta silk, or one* of the many fancy braids, and new buttons will be all the trimming required. A new collar, either of the shawl or sailor variety, will do much to bring the coat up to date. The addition of a broad band around the bottom will give the required length. By mitering the corners, braid four or six inches wide can easily be made into a square sailor collar and brought in a broad band over the shoulders and from there down the front of the coat. Cuffs of braid finish the coat trimming. If braid is used on the coat carry out this effect on the skirt by opening the side seam half way from hem to waist line, and over this stitch the wide braid, allowing it to continue to the waist over the skirt. With a band of braid around the bottom of the skirt this makes an effective trimming, especially if buttons matching those used on the coat are placed at intervals of four inches on the side band of braid. A belt of braid or soft girdle of silk completes the remodeled suit, which will be found satisfactory in every way to the woman with a limited purse. Feathers vs. Flowers The rage for feathers which has marked the summer millinery has given a serious setback to the artificial flower industry, and an attempt is to be made to introduce flower be decked hats in the coming winter. At the beginning of the season many attempts were made to popularize floral millinery fashions, but women insisted on having feathers or perky bows of ribbons for the adornment of their headwear. All kinds of beautiful blossoms were introduced in colors true to nature and in colors unknown to nature, with the object of luring women back to their old allegiance to the flower decked summer hat, but women would have none of them. Feathers or nothing at all, that was the decision, and flowers were relegated to the top shelf. Eascinating Color Plaited white maline make up into a collar that is positively fascinating. Incidentally, it is wondrous becoming. First you take a six-inch-wide strip of white tulle and "knife" it into plaits of infinitesimal depth. When you have a length long enough to set smoothly—in plaits—about the shoulders, you attach one side of it to the lower edge of a band of folded satin or velvet and upon the upper edge of that band, you put an inch and one-half broad plaiting of maline. Finally, you join the ends of the neck-band under a bow of velvet or satin. This neckpiece is lovely in black tulle over white tulle, in all black or white or in white with a black collar band. And it goes charmingly with any sort of simple little frock which has not a stock collar. Setting Lace Insertion. When lace insertion is set crosswise in a thin skirt the weight of the cloth below soon causes it to tear. This may be remedied by putting a piece of net a little wider than the insertion back of it. The net strengthens the insertion, but does not detract from its daintiness. No One Idea May Be Set Down as the Fashion Decree of the Season. Sleeves are increasingly broader, but are in many cases put in full but flat into a small armhole and then are allowed to widen toward the bottom, ending in a wide cuff and fall of lace or net at the elbow. Or they are put into the armhole full, are adjusted to the inner arm by little tucks and are allowed to droop on the outer arm over a close-fitting lower section reaching to the hand. The little oversleeves of coats or tunics are often cut in one with the shoulder, but the kimono sleeve really has lost prestige at last and is seen less than it was at the beginning of the season. When it is used the underarm seam is so fitted up to the armpit that bagginess is eliminated and the kimono idea remains only in the absence of an armhole seam across the shoulder. ATTRACTIVE TRIMMING. All manner of odd trimmings are being placed upon the hats brought out for this autumn. While some of these garnishings are a bit outre, many of them are really attractive, as in the case with the shape in black velvet. On the low and rather wide crown is not an tom of trimming, but the flaring brim is turned flatly back, under an Egyptian fan plume of white ostrich spirals rooted in a pump bow of black velvet ribbon. A ruche of white ostrich flues, banding the throat, fastens under a black velvet chou. Clever Idea. "Necessity is the mother of invention," and with stockings so extravagantly sheer and therefore so frightfully expensive, one clever woman has devised a scheme whereby she always appears to be clad in the most daintily transparent black hosiery, whereas in reality she is wearing a dark London smoke colored stocking at about 35 cents a pair. The cleverness of this idea must be demonstrated before it can receive appreciation. Not only does the smoke color give the effect of extreme transparency, but it also suggests the daintiest of feet and ankles, minus the usual unattractive number of swollen veins and bumpy that are so obtrusively apparent. Transparent Guimpe. If a girl feels that she absolutely must wear a transparent guimpe even though the day chance to be unseasonably cool, let her get a "chicken-skin" under guimpe. This contrivance is a fake neck of pale flesh tinted leather of a quality finer than the material used for the best of gloves, and really leads the casual observer to believe that the thinly-velled neck is on view. Incidentally, the "chicken-skin" may prevent a case of pneumonia. mn a nea —!

Writing in the “British News of Canada,” an Edinburgh man, who went out to the Dominion six years ago and in that time has been in ey. ery province, says by way of advice to intending emigrants: “Come out to Canada, by all means; there is work for you if you are not too proud (my first Job was the pick and shovel), but don't by any means come out here and think you are just as good as the man who hired you. Do your work, hold your tongue, and don't always be telling us how you do things at home; we are tired of hear- ing about it. Finally, remember that the man who pays you wages is the boss, in spite of the yarns of the emt. gration agents.” Not the Christabe! They Wanted. One London woman who had named her dog Christabel Pankhurst recently wrote a postcard to a friend, saying: “Christabel Pankhurst is too much of a worry; I shall have to send her away.” Before long three detectives had called at the house whence the eard issued to find, not the elusive suffragette, whom the English police were searching for, but only her canine namesake! £ BAGS SEES Gere eE EH SEH4HHS > fom ee ; T ‘ 5) ; ET ¢ SA ‘ | QD fpterr 7A \} EZ ; g j ; 9 t ‘ ; a ; 6 we MY RE | : : Cc bees. | Lemar | > “Nature hath framed strange | » fellows in her time’—but we can > fit them, > Stout men, slender men; all | > kinds of men. : > = < Pele NM OB SOD) , : > Suits, Overcoats, 9 > Fancy Vests, and odd trousers. | > New, nobby and desirable, > Next time you're down our > Way see them, neil Q\ ai sireehe= gaunt Per NC > Our Hat Stock’ | > is most complete—many stylish | and up-to-the-minute blocks in ‘ both soft and stiff, $3 to $6.50. ; Winter Underwear Woolen and cotton shirts. ‘ - Neckwear, Hosiery, | J Etc., » At our usual reasonable prices. | : : JohnsoneNoel > 1005 SIXTEENTH ST.

The trumpeter bird is the ragpicker of the woods and swamps of Guiana, where he is always at work at his trade, with his stomach for a pack and his bill for a hook. He performs a useful but most extraordinary service, devouring a perfect multitude of snakes, frogs, scorpions, spiders, lizards and like creatures. But this terrible bird can be made perfectly tame. On the Guiana plantations he may be seen fraternizing with the chickens, ducks and turkeys, accompanying them in their walks, defending them from their enemies, separating quarrelers with strokes of his bill, sustaining the young and the feeble and waking the echoes with his trumpet while he brings home his flock at night. The trumpeter is as handsome as he is useful. Noble and haughty in his aspect, he raises himself up on his long, yellow gattered legs and seems to say, "I am the trumpeter, the scourge of the reptiles and the protector of the flocks." In southern Africa there is another great exterminator of reptiles, the snake eater or secretary bird, a magnificent creature that attacks the largest serpents, making a shield of his wings and a sword of his beak. The name of "secretary bird" is derived from the plumes projecting backward from its head, which look like quill pens carried behind one's ears. In South America, in the very neighborhood of the trumpeter's home, there lives the kamichi or kamiki, which wears a sharp horn projecting from its forehead and a murderous spur upon each of its wings. With these three weapons the serpents that he attacks are powerless against him and are easily put to death. The secretary bird, the kamichi and the trumpeter form a vallant and useful trio. The trumpeter has two merits above the others—the ease with which he can be domesticated and his musical talent. The natives have a saying that he has swallowed a cornet. Whether promenading or war making, he fills the air with his trumpet calls, and at the sound of his voice of brass the reptiles take to flight. "Don'ts" for College Girls. First of all, the girl who goes to college must remember that the initial impression which she makes determines very largely her happiness or unhappiness for the first few weeks. Above all things, she should not arrive in an elaborately trimmed suit, a beplumed hat and pumps. Such things may be suitable for rare occasions at home, but they find practically no place in the outdoor wardrobe of the well-bred college woman. The plain tailored suit cut on good lines, a tailored hat to match, and neat shoes create an impression of quiet, good taste and appropriateness. This keynote of simplicity should be recognized throughout her wardrobe. Elaborate chiffon or net waists and fussy neckwear are of little use, for a college girl's room was never designed for clothes which require careful treatment and protection from dust.—Leslie's. Severe Caste In China. The ideals of the Chinese have always been for scholarship rather than for war, for mental rather than for physical accomplishments, and the hero tales told to children show youth arriving at prodigious learning, and consequently high office in the state, after years of labor. Society is still divided into the four ancient classes: Scholars, from whom all officials are chosen; farmers, artisans and laborers, merchants. Yet it is possible for a clever boy of any class to become a scholar and enter the government service, and there are many instances of poor parents scrimping and starving to keep a gifted son at his long and severe studies until he can pass the final examinations, become a mandarin or office holder, and begin to reward his family.—Christian Science Monitor. Youthful Mendicants The man who stops a pedestrian and says: "Say, I'm on my uppers, and need a drink," often lands his quarry, the honest confession being in the begar's favor. Two barefooted, far from clean boys, who in their day may follow the same tactics, stopped a woman in upper Broadway, and one of them mumbled a plea for a "penny." "What for?" asked the woman. "We're makin' up for a soda," said the boy, with a wink. The woman smiled, and the boys got their "soda."—New York Tribune. Crowds at Horticultural Show. London's latest horticultural show attracted 180,000 persons in eight days. NOT FOR BARBER'S SHEARS Golden Curls Too Pretty to Be Severed, Declared Chivalrous Knight of the Razor. Occupants of the barber chairs and the men who sat in line waiting for the call "Next" wondered at the presence of a pretty little girl of five who romped about the shop, and to whose golden curls, each man said to himself, poetic metaphors might be applied without being ridiculous. She skipped from chair to chair, visiting each barber and said "good-by" to all when she left. Every razor, every brush or pair of shears in the shop was stopped long enough for the owner to say "Good-by, Pauline; come back again." "Is that your little girl?" the occupant of the third chair asked of the barber. "No; she's just a little friend. Her mother sent her here to get her hair cut." "Why, it don't look as if it had been cut. It falls all over her shoulders. It can't have been cut in a year." "That's just it. That's why we're friends. I wouldn't cut it. I sent her back to her mother with a note. I said if they wanted to spoil anything as pretty as that they'd have to go to another shop, and that was all there was to it. "You see, it was like this. Pauline played out in the yard one day and got her hair all full of sticks and things and all tangled up. It's a lot of trouble to keep a head like that in shape, and when her mother came to comb it out she got disgusted and quit. The first we ever saw of Pauline she came into the shop crying and carrying a note. Well, do you know, I didn't have the heart to do it. There wasn't anybody in the shop that would do it. We just combed it out and sent her back with a note saying that if it was cut it wouldn't be at our shop. By the time Pauline got home her mother had got into a good humor and her father had come home. Her father nearly had a fit. He came over here and set 'em up to cigars. He said if his wife ever wrote any note like that again or any fool barber paid any attention to it somebody would sure get trimmed. Whenever Pauline's downtown she drops in for a visit. We're great friends."—Kansas City Journal. Good Whaling in the Pacific. Five hundred whales thus far in the season, thirteen of them sperm whales, is the wonderful record made since the beginning of the season, according to Captain Shadforth of the steamer Grey, tender for the Canadian Northern Pacific Fisheries company, which maintains a number of whaling stations along the coast of British Columbia. In addition to the 500 males caught at the three stations there are many hundreds which have been caught along the coast by other companies and by American and Norwegian concerns in Alaska waters. It is believed that before the season is over at least 2,000 whales will have been caught on the north Pacific coast. The huge number of mammals caught in such a short period is a direct contrast to the old methods of whaling, when it would have taken years for a big fleet of sailing vessels to have caught a similar number of whales by the old hand harpoon.—Vancouver Sun. Funeral as Festival. A shining example of communal judgment of almost indescribable stupidity may be found, Louis Viereck, the special correspondent of the International, writes in the August International, in the interesting city of Strassfurt, famous for its mineral wealth. The estimable mayor of Stassfurt recently conceived the ingenious idea of levying a tax on the dead of the community. According to the latest decree issued by his honor a funeral is to be considered an amusement and taxed as such. The widow of a citizen, applying for a funeral permit, received the following document: "Five marks. Permit to arrange a festival. Herewith permission is granted to the Widow Liedke of this city to hold a funeral parade with music on the 5th inst., the procession to march through the Wachtel, Rosmarin, Prinzen, Brucken, Stein, Fursten and Hacklinger streets to the outskirts of the town." Has Kent Snow Long. W. R. Haun, a farmer living near here, still has some of the snow that fell during the famous storm of January 26. On that day a drift about 12 feet high formed near Mr. Haun's house. He covered the drift with several loads of straw and it was not long until the big drift had turned to ice. Several church and school socials have been furnished with ice cream frozen from ice from the big drift and the element of novelty attached to the affair has made them successful from a financial standpoint. —Larned Correspondence Topeka Capital. "He is lacking in tact." "Why, I thought he always said nice things?" "He does, but not always the right things. He was protesting his love yesterday when he passed an old woman. I saw my cue and said:" "Will you love me when I get old "Will you love me when I get old and look like that woman?" "Of course I will, darling!" he cried. "So I dismissed him. The idea of his consenting to think that I could ever get to look like that horrid old thing!" Women are so peculiar. She Was Old-Fashioned, But Knew Cupid's Way. By IZOLA FORRESTER. Betty was sweeping the hall when the bell rang, and the postman handed in a handful of letters. "Slx for Geraldine," said Betty, sitting down on the stairs. "All valentines. This one feels soft and satiny. That must be from Mr. Raleigh. Wish I were engaged, too, so somebody would send me one like that. I'll never be if I stay here all my life, playing maid to Geraldine, and right-hand girl to Aunt Margaret. I wish, if I ever did have one all my very own, it would say on it, 'To Betty from Jack.'" The last was in a whisper. Behind her came Aunt Margaret downstairs, eyeglasses at the proper angle, serene and well poised as always. "Don't neglect the corners, Betty," she said, pleasantly. "Has the mail arrived? Oh, yes. For Gertrude! How popular and loved the child is." "Certainly," said Betty, vigorously attacking the broom once more. "Don't be ungenerous, even in thought, Betty. You had better oil the staircase too, today." Betty stood still for a moment, looking after her aunt, but Mrs. Potter crossed the hall, and went into the dining room to her late breakfast. Jack was just finishing his. With the morning paper propped before him, he wished his mother a perfunctory greeting, and went on reading. Mrs. Potter opened her mall. One letter attracted her attention. It was a curious letter. The envelope was long and narrow and of thin, pale blue paper, with a sort of checkered effect. She opened it, and glanced over the first page, and Jack looked up from his paper at the quick cry of alarmed surprise. "Who's dead, mumsie?" "Don't be flippant, Jack. The shock is quite bad enough. I have a letter from your father's sister Polly. A most impossible sort of an old person, Jack. I have not seen her in over fifteen years, not since your father made his fortune out of Potter's Pure Pellets. She lived on a farm somewhere up in Connecticut. Your father was born there, but he got away from the environment as soon as he could fairly toddle." "What's the old lady writing to you for?" "Heaven only knows. And she calls me dear sister Maggie. Jack, nobody ever called me Maggie, excepting her." Jack laughed, and took the letter. The writing was a bit quavering and uncertain, but he made it out. It was a simple, heartful letter, full of sincerity, and a reaching out after one's own people. "Dear Sister Maggie," it read, "I have been thinking of you and the children or some face, and I want to see you see me and I calls me to visit seeing as you weren't given to visiting, I thought I'd take time by the forelock and curriedise life is shown you with curriedise life is shown my heart strings begin to twangle after some of my own flesh and blood as I grow older." Hope this finds you all in good health, as I am at present, and trusting "Hoping this finds you all in good health, as I am at present, and trusting to be in your mids' shortly, I remain. Your sister. "Polly Ann Potter." "The letter has been delayed, mother," said Jack. "It went to the old address first. What a bully place she lives in, Woodchuck Hill." "She must be sixty-five, and poor as only those human relics dragging out life in worn-out farm houses can be, Jack. I might telegraph her that we were starting to Florida or Bermuda." "Oh, nonsense, mumste. Make the old lady comfy. She's only lonesome. A month here in New York, trotting around with you and Gerry would buck her up fine and dandy." Geraldine came in dressed for her morning walk through the park. She was a tall, pretty girl, rather pallid, but sweet faced, and well bred. "Who's Betty helping out of the cab, mother?" she asked. "It looks like Noah's great-grandmother." "Jack, I am going to faint," exclaimed Mrs. Potter. "Buck up, mumsie, and be decent," warned Jack, as he opened the door, and faced Betty, loaded with two large covered baskets, and an ancient black leather travelling bag. Betty's face was radiant. "Here's Aunt Polly!" she announced. Behind her stood the oddest figure. As Geraldine said afterwards, she did not think there were any people like Aunt Polly left in the world. Tall and spare, head well up, with a wide, genial smile that took in all creation in its approval, she had happy gray eyes and crinky gray hair parted in the middle and drawn down over her ears. "Well, how are you, folks?" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with tears. "Bless my heart and soul, it's so good to see you all. How your chicks have grown, sister. Been a 'feedin' them the pellets regular?" "Betty, take your aunt's parcels up to the gray chamber. How do you do, Polly. You are very welcome." Mrs. Potter closed her eyes as a marryr should, and pressed a bird peck on the wrinkled cheek nearest her. "Betty, child, you let them satchels and things of mine alone," ordered Aunt Polly, vigorously. "I never let folks wait on me. Well, Maggie, how be ye, anyhow? You look sort of pindlin'. You'll have to speak up louder, 'cause my hearing's defective. Come nearer, children." She sank down into a rocking chair and beamed on the floor. "This is the girl you named Polly Ann after me' isn't it? "We call her Geraldine, to avoid confusion, Polly." Mrs. Potter passed the point of danger with poise and graciousness. "I think she resembles my side of the family, don't you?" "She does seem more set up than the Potterses," Aunt Polly smiled, and turned to meet Jack's hearty salute. "I'm Jack, auntie. How's things down home?" "Well, fair to middlin', fair to middlin'. I brought you up some Hubbard squashes, and good Peck's Pleasants, and nuts, and ginger cookies. I ain't forgot when I was young. I knew the children would enjoy things right from the old place where their father was born." "So kind of you, Polly," acknowledged Mrs. Potter, sweetly. "Betty, you may remove them to the kitchen." "Wait a minute; I ain't got a good look at you yet. This is Millie's girl, ain't it? She favors Millie, too." Geraldine smiled shyly. "Call me Gerry, auntie. Jack does." "She don't handsome a bit, does she, Maggie?" Polly said. "Anybody sitting stiddy with you, yet, child?" "I'm to be married Easter week." "My, backward, ain't ye?" laughed Polly. "Run along and take your walk. Who's she going to marry, Maggie?" "A gentleman in a Wall street office." "You don't tell me. Ain't that too bad! But love goes where it will. Jackie, help your old aunt off with these pesky tight shoes and get my old slippers out of that bag on top. I pretty near lost all my religion wearing them down here." Jack knelt on the floor, putting on the slippers. "Mother worries too much." "Hurries too much?" "Worries. She has a good many social engagements—" "I didn't know they'd let Potter's Pure Pellets into New York society," chuckled Polly. "Land, Jackie, I remember when your father used to putter around home over his little dough and sugar pills, and a little peasin. And he put on the labels they'd cure everything on earth except chillblains and bolls. Seems queer to think he made a fortune out of them before he died." "It's about all gone now," said Jack cheerfully. "We're putting on a lot of dog, Auntie, that we can't back up with the real goods. It's in the air down here." "Better come home with me. You're a Potter through and through, Jackie. Sitting stiddy with any girl!" Jack grinned, and shook his head. Out in the hall they could hear Betty's voice singing. "I want Betty," he said simply. "She sings like an angel." "Umm. Be a lot of help to you on the farm won't she? She was so glad to see me." Aunt Polly warmed her toes at the radiator, and thought for a minute. Then she said, "I'm afraid I'm too old-fashioned for Maggie and Gerry. They don't take to me, do they?" She glanced up shrewdly at Jack. "Have you asked Betty to have ye?" "She's only seventeen. Auntle." "Don't you waste time, Sonny. I was in love at sixteen, and we kept a'waitin' and a'waitin' for his folks to die and my old bedridden father to stop needin' me, and by the time they'd all passed over the shining strand, my lad died too, and we'd missed our way somehow along love's post road. Sometimes you can't put much faith in the sign posts along that road. Now, you brace right up to the occasion and ask Betty while she's sweet as a rosebud." "How long can you stay, Auntie?" "Well, it depends. A day or so. I come up on a little business besides," said Polly placidly gathering her bonnet and knit muffler, and coat and shawl together. "Mebbe I'll take you home with me, Jackie." Jack stood where she left him, and Betty came in. Somehow the old lady's simple philosophy of life had put new courage into him. "Betty," he said, slowly, "Betty, listen. Aunt Polly's offered to put me to work on her woodpile if I marry you." Betty dropped the broom and dust-pan with a bang and looked at him. Jack had always been her hero, ever since the day when somebody had brought her there to live, a little pensioner on her godmother's bounty. "She's just making fun, I guess," said Betty, with a sigh. "You couldn't cut wood." "I could learn, dear." Jack's arms folded around her somehow as if they belonged there. "We'd chuck all this city life, and go back home. There's about a hundred and sixty acres there of land waiting for somebody to wake it up. I remember dad telling about it. Would you go with me, Betty?" Betty turned her head to answer, and met his lips. And so Mrs. Potter found them as she came in the dining room, followed by Aunt Polly. "Jack, I'm amazed at you," she began, in a repressed, sorrowful tone, but Polly laughed. "Oh, good land, Maggie, let the children kiss if they want to. It's all my doings. I found one sane member in the family. He's going to marry Betty here, and they're coming to live with their old aunt on Woodchuck Hill, and work the farm on shares, ain't you, Jackie?" "Back to the farm!" exclaimed Mrs. Potter, despairingly. "Back to nature," retorted Aunt Polly, forebly. "When you get back from your Florida trip, sister Maggie, you'd better run up and stay awhile. We'd be real pleased to have ye." (Copyright 2012, by Associated Literary Furnished Rooms And the Old Reliable Newport Thirst Parlors SHORT ORDERS AT AL pe Street.

DENVER, COLO. 1516 COURT PLACE COLORADO NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Feet Must Be Studied by Officers in the Army Feet Must Be Studied by Officers in the Army WASHINGTON.—Army officers must become foot doctors and understand all the little twists and turns in chirropody if they obey an order just issued by the war department. Soon the fastidious young West Pointer will be seen on his knees before the raw recruit explaining how best to harvest the corn or bunion with a razor. He will inspect the recruit's socks and have him wash his feet and put on clean ones. All of which would make it appear that the next course in study to be listed at the national academy may be chiropody. In addition to the titles, like "U. S. A," which the graduate places after his name, there will then be one "F. E." (foot expert), or "Ch. D." (doctor of chiropody). For many years the army has employed expert blacksmiths to care for the horses' hoofs. Now the hoofs "Company comes the proper trimming or paring of corn lief of painful but ingrowing nails, sending serious cuts. There is one phi will be appreciable infantrymen. It or socks with hoof in marching." Rat Psychologists Trying to "Kid" Uncle Sam ASSISTANT Surgeon General William Colby Rucker of the public health service announced Aug. 21 that he was searching for a new kind of rat trap, to be adopted as the official trap of the service in its war against the bubonic plague. He has now in his office 75 models for rat traps of many designs, together with about fifty drawings. "Rat psychology has evidently been the subject of deep study on the part of inventors and would-be inventors who are trying to market their ideas in my office," said Dr. Rucker, "and the interesting thing is the wide divergence of the conclusions that have been reached. An Iowa student sent me the following suggestion: "Take an iron pot and place a rock in the middle. Fill the pot with water even with the top of the rock, so as to make the rock look like an island. Float a piece of cheese on the water. The rat will jump for the cheese and after falling in the water will climb on the island and scream for help. The entire rat family will rush to his aid, dive overboard to his rescue and then kill each other fighting for a foothold on the rock. "Another trap of simple type suggested was the bran barrel trap. I was told to cover the surface of a pail of water with bran; to fix a plank All Complimentary Verbiage Is Ordered Cut Out All Complimentary Verbiage Is Ordered Cut Out HEREAFTER THEY WILL USE SIR AND CUT OUT ALL THIS NON-SENSE REFORM in the army correspondence is the latest development in Major General Leonard Wood's plan for increasing the efficiency of the fighting force. Under orders from "the top" the complimentary verbage under which all communications between officers of the army and between those officers and the war department have been carried on have been ordered cut out. Such army forms as "Colonel Smith presents his compliments to Lieutenant Jones," as the precursor of a simple request; the subscription, "I have the honor to be, yours with great respect;" repetitions of titles at the beginning and end of communications of a most trivial nature, will hereafter be eliminated. Car Fare Was Wanted by a Georgia ARNOLD A. BLAYLOCK, twenty eight years old, said to be the finest specimen of a genuine mountain moonshiner ever captured in the national capital, who was arrested the other night after he had surrendered himself at police headquarters and announced he was a fugitive from the "revnoo offcers," was released when the police learned he is not a fugitive. Blaylock's little scheme to trick the police into paying his railroad fare back to his farm in the mountains of White county, about 20 miles from Gainesville, Ga., was turned inside out by the police when they received word from Gainesville that Blaylock is not wanted there. The moonshiner was arrested a few weeks ago for alleged illicit distilling, but he furnished $200 bond and is free to go and come until his case is called for trial in October. It remained for Blaylock to explain why he suddenly left his home and journeyed to Washington, and in the explanation he revealed a feud in embryo. Two years ago Blaylock sold 500 acres of land to Henry Gerrard, a of the infantry will receive like attention. "Company commanders will personally inspect the bare feet of their men before a march is undertaken," reads the order. "While on the march they will personally see each day that their men wash their feet as soon as possible after reaching camp, prick and evacuate blisters, dust the feet with foot powder supplied by the medical department, and put on clean socks." By way of emphasizing the necessity for obeying this order, another clause says: "Hereafter an undue amount of foot injury and disability from shoes will be regarded as evidence of inefficiency on the part of the officers concerned as cause for investigation." Then there is thus further instruction: "Company commanders will cause the proper trimming of nails, removal or paring of corns and callouses, relief of painful bunions, treatment of ingrowing nails, and other defects, sending serious cases to the surgeon." There is one phase of the order that will be appreciated by the bachelor infantryman. It is that "darned sox or socks with holes, will not be worn in marching." THAT SMELLS GOOD BUT I HAVE MY SUSPICIONS platform to lead to the edge of the water and to cover this with bran. It was predicted that the rat would eat his way to the water's edge and then, beholding what he thought to be a sea of bran, would dive into it, thus ending the romance of his life. "Many suggestions for electrocution outfits have been sent in, but all of these are of such complicated design and would cost so much to manufacture that they have no value for our purpose. "The sneeze" trap is simplest in construction and least expensive of all the models which have been submitted. It consists of a pasteboard tube two inches in diameter, lined with cotton batting. A powder of cayenne pepper and snuff is sprinkled on the cotton and the inventor placed over a rat hole. The inventor said the rat would sneeze himself to death when he poked his head out of his hole." The army correspondence forms date back to the days of the Colonial forces of King George III. Letters between army men, when official in their nature, use line after line of complimentary phraseology to put forward a ten-word request. General Wood started the pruning movement and when he got through with it nothing was left but the superscription "Sir" and the signature of the writer outside the message to be conveyed. Along with the excess verbiage the army has also discarded the elaborate system of recording the business of the various branches of the service by means of lengthy letters detailing what might pass in the ordinary course of the day's work as business conversations. The shorter method is making a big hit with the younger element in the army. "One does not have to be any more respectful to the chief of staff than he does to his 'striker' now," said a second lieutenant, fresh from Philippine duty, who recently was pitchforked into the department by reason of the newly applied operation of the detached army rule. Y'wuz? I WUZ RUNMIN' WAY FROM TH' REVNOO OFFCERS British Columbian. Some weeks ago Blaylock's cows destroyed Gerrard's corn. Gerrard thought the destruction was "done apurpose." Then the "revenoo off'cers" came and "cut down Blaycock's still." The next day Gerrard's still was "cut down." The following day, at a camp meeting, gossip said Blaylock had "reported Gerrard to the 'revnoo off-cers,'" and Blaylock says he traced the gossip to Henry Gerrard. "I went home and fetched mah gun, and I went over to see Gerrard. He said he didn't kyar to tarry and talk with me, and I'd just up with mah gun and allowed he bettah tarry a-bit. "Wal, some other bodies stepped in and I took 'er train up this away." Moonshiner PLAN BIG PEACE ARCH SPAN WOULD CONNECT STATUES OF GRANT AND LEE. Each and Every State of the Union Would Be Invited, Through Its Governor, to Furnish Material for the Structure. A Lincoln memorial peace arch to span Pensylvania avenue at First street Northwest, directly in front of the Peace monument, and to connect the base of the Grant statue at the east end of the Botanic gardens with one to be erected to Gen. Robert E. Lee at the northwest corner of Pennsylvania avenue and First street, is proposed in a bill introduced recent directly in front of the Peace monument, and to connect the base of the Grant statue at the east end of the Botanic gardens with one to be erected to Gen. Robert E. Lee at the northwest corner of Pennsylvania avenue and First street, is proposed in a bill introduced recently by Representative Pou of North Carolina. One million dollars is appropriated in the bill for the Lincoln arch and $250,000 for the Grant statue. It is proposed that material for the building of the arch shall be furnished by the different states of the Union. The bill, in part, follows: "That the sum of $250,000 is appropriated to be expended in the erection of a statue to the memory of Gen. Robert E. Lee of the state of Virginia. That said statue shall be situated on Pennsylvania avenue in the city of Washington, immediately opposite the statue now in process of erection to President Grant. "That the sum of $1,000,000 is hereby appropriated in the erection of an arch over Pennsylvania avenue, connecting the base of the statue of President Grant with the base of the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee, which arch shall be known as the Lincoln Peace Memorial arch, and which shall be built in honor of the memory of that martyrred president. "That the secretary of war, Gen. Bennett H. Young, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, and Gen. Harvey M. Trimble, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, are hereby constituted a commission with full authority to acquire by purchase or condemnation proceedings a site on Pennsylvania avenue for the erection of the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and also with full power to provide for the erection of the same and the aforesaid Lincoln Peace Memorial arch. Any vacancy in said commission shall be filled by his successor in the office or position now held, and the members of said commission, except the secretary of war, shall each be paid the sum of $2,000 for services. In addition, each member shall be paid his necessary expenses. "Each and every state in the Union shall be invited, through its governor, to furnish material to be used in the building of said arch, which shall bear such inscription as may be unanimously agreed upon by the members of the commission. "Said commission is authorized and empowered to secure plans of the proposed statue and arch from American artists, and to pay therefor such sum as in the judgment of the commission is just and proper." "GYM" FOR WOMEN IS URGED Supervisor of Capital City Playgrounds Strongly In Favor of the Movement The movement for the establishment of a gymnasium and swimming pool in the central portion of Washington for the use of women is receiving the approval of persons of prominence on every side. Edgar S. Martin, supervisor of playgrounds, expressed himself as heartily in favor of the project. He agrees with the commissioners, however, that the proposition cannot be made a reality until congress becomes far more generous than it is at present. "The plan is an excellent one," said Mr. Martin. "The need for such a gymnasium and swimming pool is obvious. At present but few women have the advantage of physical training. If we had more gymnasiums we would in all probability have a stronger race of women." Fine Rugs From Old Rags. Beautiful and serviceable rugs can be made from old rags. They are not the old-fashioned rag carpet kind, but when the colors are artistically combined they produce soft Persian effects. For the foundation of the rug burlap is used. Upon this, when cut in the size desired, outline your design with a soft blue pencil. Then with a steel buttonhook or large crochet needle pull a piece of cloth a quarter of an inch wide and an inch in length through the loosely woven burlap and draw it out again as if you were taking an ordinary stitch in sewing. After the whole surface of the rug has been covered in this way trim the uneven ends with large shears, and the rug is finished. These rugs may be made from woolen or silk rags. Police Are Stumped. Local police are stumped in attempting to carry out the new anti-flirting regulations, providing that a masher can't be arrested if he responds to goo-goo eyes but only if he starts flirting ADDS A RICH COLLECTION United States National Museum Receives Valuable Gansevoort Donation of War Relics. The United States National museum has lately added a rich collection of souvenirs through donation of a valuable series of uniforms, swords, relics and other objects relating to Brig. Gen. Peter Gansevoort, Jr., his son and grandson. The objects of primary interest are the ones pertaining to General Gansevoort himself, who served in the revolutionary war. He was born in Albany, N. Y., July 17, 1749, and died there on July 2, 1812, at the age of sixty-three years. The two uniforms—one of the revolution and one of the 1810-1812 period—attract more attention than anything else. The revolutionary one is the only uniform of the time in the museum collection except that of General Washington. In the collection is a sword of this period, belonging to General Ganssevoort, decorated with the arms of Great Britain, and is undoubtedly of an old design. There is also a folding mahogany camp cot used by the general. The other uniform, which represents the period of 1810-1812, is quite complete and in excellent condition. It is made of a dark blue cloth, lined with buff flannel, having deep cuffs and a high collar, with broad lapels buttoning back to the coat, trimmed with gold braid and brass buttons inscribed with an eagle surrounded by seventeen stars. Accompanying this uniform is a chapeau de bras of dark blue cloth, cut in a half-moon shape, a design of military hat adopted from the French, decorated with a black rosette, displaying the arms of the United States in gold and trimmed with gold braid. MIDSUMMER IS MOST RESTFUL Social Events at the Capital City Are Then Transferred to Other Centers. With the adjournment of the congress the many people who were kept here on its account have closed their homes and made their departures. Midsummer in the national capital, however, has offered such a pleasant surprise in the matter of weather that its enjoyment has been quite as great as others have found it at any of the eastern resorts, where social doings keep up a never ending program. "It is the most restful time of the year," one Washington matron declared a few days ago. "So many others are gone, that a person is as independent here as though one had happened upon a strange city with all the advantages of knowing the way about. To go to almost any watering place means to continue more or less the rush of the winter. Whereas, to stay at home means a real rest." On this account a number of women have preferred to remain in the national capital with their husbands this summer rather than to take part in the social affairs at the fashionable resorts. Mrs. Taft stayed here longer this year than she has since she became first lady of the land, and since her departure for the summer has made a short visit to the executive mansion. CONGRESS TO SIT ALL YEAR? Senator Bourne of Oregon Thinks That the Pressure of Business Demands It. Senator Bourne of Oregon, predicted the other day that the day is almost here when congress will have to meet all the year around. "It looks to me," said Senator Bourne, "that the pressure of public business and the needs of the country will require that the national legislature sit almost continuously in Washington. This year congress was in session about nine months and I look for the same condition to prevail next year, and all succeeding years. The people demand that we give their interests earnest consideration. "When we have worked out the problem of campaigning and popular nominations it will not be necessary for congressmen to leave their desks in Washington to present reasons to their constituents why they should be returned to office." Mr. Bourne remained in Washington during the recent campaign, practicing what he is preaching, and was defeated for the nomination. His constituents, he thinks, will finally appreciate the fact that he remained here to look after their interests while his opponent was tearing down his political fences. Notable Chinese Woman. Sung Su Tsung, a young woman teacher in a school in Shanghai, is regarded in her home city as a second Joan of Arc. After weeks of hard work she has succeeded in enrolling 120 of her women friends in a military organization, and has offered their services and her own to the Shanghai provisional military authorities in their fight against the Manchus. All the younger women in the teacher's detachment are anxious to go to the front and are bringing their influence to bear in asking for the chance to see and do some fighting. Gift Horse. Hostess (after presenting fan to prize winner at whist drive)—Really, I'm afraid, it's hardly worth accepting.

BIG CROPS ALL OVER WORLD Bumper Yields of Grain Shown By Preliminary Figures of Rome Institute of Agriculture. Washington D. C.—Crops generally throughout the world this year are bumper. This is shown by figures in a cablegram received by the Department of Agriculture from the International Institute of Agriculture in Rome, Italy, giving the preliminary estimates of the acreage production of wheat, rye, barley, oats and corn. It is estimated that the production will be as follows: Wheat—France, 335,974,000 bushels; Roumania, 85,417,000 bushels; Canada, 206,033,000 bushels. Total production in twenty-one countries, 3,200,000,000, or 6.7 per cent more than last year. Rye—France, 51,432,000 bushels; Netherlands, 16,322,000 bushels.

Men without char- acter to whom licenses would not have been granted—the most criminal element in the cities—dispensed the vilest sort of li- quors, selling at all hours and to all ages without discrimination, and without restriction, Our larger cities were experiencing a reign of disorderly conduct previously unknown, and after two years of such experience, the voters of Alabama called a halt and the legislature was prevailed upon to give relief in the re- enactment of a local option law.’ ALABAMA’S PROHIBITION RECORD Adopted State-wide Prohibition..........0eceeeee0ee0 e+ 01907 Voters defeated effort to place prohibition in the Con- stitution. By a plurality of 27,000.........0..0sseeeeserereee e+ 1909 Hobson’s own District voted against Constitutional Prohibition by a large majority. Under State-wide Prohibition, blind pigs, bootleggers and kitchen dives multiplied to such an alarming extent that the Legislature responded to public sen- timent and— Repealed the State-wide Act....+seseeseceeeeeeeee eee es 19M Alabama is now an Option State. MR. HOBSON, WHY SHOULD COLORADO ADOPT A LAW WHICH PROVED A FAILURE IN YOUR STATE? Voters Attention! To vote against State-wide Prohibition and for Loeal Option, mark your ballot thus: YES { NO | x WILL SOME PROHIBITION AGITA TOR EXPLAIN. Given Freedom of Town. In one of the principal cities the minister who offered the prayer was followed by an official of the local commercial club, who said in sub. stance: “The town is yours. Here are the keys We have provided everything a hungry or a thirsty man could de- sire. If you don’t see it, ask for It. Every time you see a carpet leading from the sidewalk up a starway, fol- low the carpet—you'll find something and nobody will bother you. Have a good time, the treat’s on us.” In another town each place where beer, whisky and wine are being Served was accurately located from the platform. A minister who was de scribed in newspapers as having ap: plied for a commission as a special of. ficer that he might raid these places denied he had made the request. All he had done was to “indicate to ax officer where he thought intoxicants might be found.” In the larger towns the location of the “joints” is as well known as the court house or leading hotel. Many of them contain costly bar fixtures Supplies are cached in distant build ings. In a majority of Oklahoma ho tels whisky or beer may be obtained merely by the use of the telephone, Why Prohibition Doesn't Prohibit in Oklahoma? From the Chicago ‘fribune, June 8, 1912, HARD TO KEEP OKLAMOHA DRY Speakers in Conventions Give Loca- ‘ions. of “Alind. Plizs”—Seek. to” Ste Hullronds—Attornes. General Asked for, Opinion ax to. Pronecution. Muskogee, Okla., June 8.—(Special.) —Oklahoma is running against many ‘obstacles in its efforts to make prohl- bition prohibit in compliance with the state constitution, Enforcement offi- cers are more or less active, but the bootleggers are so much more so that they are able to serve refreshments before the officers overtake them, In the larger towns and cities pub- lic sentiment seems to uphold a cer- tain standard of law enforcement above or below which officers may not go, This standard does not permit a genuinely wide open traffic in liquor nor does it insist upon its absolute sup: pression. The greater the number of persons who may be interested in at least a temporary disregard of the Jaw, the less likelihood is there of in terference by local officers, This may be observed during the holding of big conventions. COL. THEODORE ROOSEVELT SAYS. that in so doing he does not wrong his neighbors. Wide difference of opin- fon in matters of religious, political and social beliet must exist If con- science or intellect alike are not to be stunted, if there is to be healthy growth’ Bitter internecine hatreds, based on such differences are signs, not of earnestness of pelief, but of that fanatacism which, whether reli- gious or anti-religious, democratic or anti-democratic, is Itself but a mani- festation of the gloomy bigotry which has been the chief factor in the down: fall of so many nations.” Vote no on the prohibition question. “The good citizen will demand Nb- erty for himself, and as a matter of pride he will see to it that all others will receive the liberty which he thus claims as his own, Probably the best test of true love of liberty in any coun- try 1s the manner in which minorities are treated in that country. Not only should there be complete liberty in matters of religion and opinion but complete liberty for each man to live his life as he desires, provided only A RECERCEMD Su rake” scodh® | PARLORS 1023 NINETEENTH STREET. | » > THE DOUGLASS ay aa -_ A © ee. 69 UNDERTAKING epee COMPANY ‘ J.
