PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY TO NEGRO LEAGUES To the Presidents and Officers of Local Negro Business Leagues: Now that the political campaign is over and we are free to give our attention to matters that more directly concern our welfare as individuals and as communities, I want to urge upon each Local Negro Business League throughout the United States to cut out a definite piece of work that the League may accomplish during the coming winter. 1st.—In order to accomplish some definite thing, each League should have a regular time for meeting. 2nd.—A regular program should be mapped out in advance of each meeting. 3rd.—Each League should have a special attractive place to meet in. 4th. Each League should consider carefully what the organization can do to promote the welfare of the community in business and commercial directions. There never has been such commercial prosperity existing through out the country as is true to-day, and our people should share in this prosperity. It is largely through the help and leadership of each Local Negro Business League that they will be able to do so. If your League has not had a meeting for sometime see that one is called at once and new life is put into the organization. Persons desiring to organize new Local Negro Business Leagues may secure information by writing to Mr. Emmett J. Scott Corresponding Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. (Signed:) BOOKER T.

WANT TO DEGRADE OUR CAPITOL CITY Washington, D. C., Nov. 27. The spectacle of the capital of the United States being provided with "Jim Crow" cars will be a reality if the bill drafted by W. J. Neale, chairman of the Legislative Committee of the District of Columbia, and which has been presented to the members of the Central Citizens' Association becomes a law. The fifty members who were present in the directors' room of the North Capital Savings Bank voiced hearty approval of the proposed measure. It will be submitted to the Federation of Citizens' Associations at the next meeting, the first Saturday in December. The bill, which provides separate compartments for, or distinct lines of demarcation between, the Negro and white races, was patterned after similar bills which have been adopted in Maryland and Virginia. It is reported that Neale and his associates are also considering the advisability of having a bill introduced providing for separate streets on which whites and blacks shall walk in the capitol city. Baptist F.reign Mission Board Reestabliseed in Philadelphia.

State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House DENVER THE BEAUTIFUL IS ALSO A CITY OF REPUTABLE BUSINESS HOUSES AND THRIVING MERCHANTS TO WHICH THE COLO-RADO STATESMAN DESIRES TO CALL THE ATTENTION OF ITS ARMY OF READERS. This issue of our paper is not an anniversary number nor a holiday edition, but is issued for the benefit of our host of readers and prospective buyers who will soon be mandering through the stores for the purpose of making purchases for the holiday season. The twenty-seven years of residence and nineteen years of bona fide personal and business contact of the manager of the Colorado Statesman, whose cut appears in the purchasers' edition of this paper, enables him to speak with some degree of experience, if not actual authority, on the rise and development of this ideal city of the Rocky Mountain district. Also to point our readers to the class of merchants who solicit your trade because they advertise in this paper the year around. Not that other stores and merchants are not as good, but because those whose advertisements are found in our columns particularly solicit your trade and take pains to especially call your attention to their goods. These merchants are among the best and most thoroughly reliable. Whose enterprise has not only contributed to the welfare and success of the city, but also to the comfort, convenience and happiness of our growing population. Denver, the Queen City of the West, bears the enviable reputation of not only being the best winter resort second to none and a home resort the whole year around. It is the most beautiful and healthful residence city in the world. In this cosmopolitan city one will find all that delights the soul in the diversities of nature and embracing atmosphere. Its sunshine, blue Italian sky, clear, crisp air and comfortable temperature; it is a city famous for electric lights and conventions. Commercially, it is the distributing point for the western half of the American continent. It is modern in buildings, streets, sidewalks and business methods. Its railroad facilities are ample, making it profitable for outside buyers to come and make holiday purchases with the least inconvenience as well as spend a pleasant time in sightseeing and social diversity. Our object is to make it easy for all purchasers, both at home and from the outside, to patronize first-class merchants who sell the best line of goods at the most moderate prices. M. JOSEPH D. D. RIVERS, Proprietor OF THE COLORADO STATESMAN During the holidays there are merchants who do a fake business, handling only shoddy and shop-worn goods and palming them off on unsuspecting buyers at extravagant prices, but the class of merchants who advertise in the Colorado Statesman do not advertise for the holidays only, but during the entire year—spring, summer, fall and winter. Strangers, therefore, coming to town, and our own readers, should visit those stores and trade with that class of merchants who advertise with us the entire year. This paper carries annually the largest list of the most respectable merchants, who bear the reputation of square dealing, the finest and best line of goods and fair treatment to all of their customers, be they rich or poor, black or white. Our twenty-seven years of residence and nineteen years as manager of a newspaper ought to place us in a position to give sound and safe advice to the race in making purchases, and our interest in the colored people of the city and state makes it incumbent upon us to call their attention to those merchants who will give them the best service and honest goods for the least money. Open the pages of this paper and investigate our list of advertisers and then go to those stores where you will be assured of the treatment your patronage deserves. You will find our list of advertisers polite, attentive and willing to suit you, and you can get a high grade of goods that will satisfy you. Observance of national holidays is not considered complete in these days without giving presents, and these gifts, in order to be appreciated, must come from first-class stores and bear the mark of reputable makers and retailers. The shops of Denver fairly teem with novelties suggestive of the occasion and its time-honored observances. Christmas and New Years, being a festive occasion, the desorations in these stores are a treat in themselves and lends to the purchasers a pleasant and agreeable task in making selection. We do not wish to say that those merchants who do not advertise in the Colorado Statesman are fakes, but we do say that those who place their announcements in our columns especially solicit your trade and are willing to give you the benefit of their confidence by putting their advertisement with us. and they are models in recognizing the excellent taste and purchasing power of our people. It will increase our usefulness and show your own wisdom and enterprise by kindly informing the managers of the various departments where you make your purchase that you saw their advertisement in our paper. The Colorado Statesman therefore takes the liberty to give you the benefit of its nineteen years' advertising experience with the perfect assurance that you will be well pleased by following our suggestions and purchasing early before the great rush comes later on. As the season advances it will be impossible for you to secure the careful selection and courteous attention that you can get by making your purchases now. The Colorado Statesman therefore suggests that you go as soon as possible and do your shopping while it can be done with ease and pleasure and not be a burden. RACE NEWS London, Dec. 1.—Mrs. Anna Gross, an American Negress, to night shot and killed Miss Jessie McIntyre, a young English actress. Mrs. Gross was separated from her husband, Pake Gross, a vaudeville performer, whom she attempted to kill. Jealousy is said to have been the cause of the shooting. Mrs. Gross was arrested. The Norfolk, Va., City Council has passed a law requiring all washerwomen to be registered. The object of the law is to protect white families from tubercular contagion. When tuberculosis is discovered in a house no one in that house is allowed to take in washing. The law works terrible hardship on those who depend on washing for a livelihood. The new assistant register of the United States treosury, J. P.

They were arrested in a raid on a house in Kansas City, Mo.—In 1903 Jacova May, a former slave, made a will leaving $4,800 to Mrs. Eliza G. Burnett, a white woman, living here. After the Negress died in 1910 another will, made a short time before death, was found, in which the money was left to her children. Mrs. Burnett has brought suit to obtain the money, asserting undue influence was used in the second and last will. Twenty-three years ago H. L. Sauders, a Negro of Indianapolis, Ind., began in a small and modest way a ladies' and gents' furnishing business. He started in with a sewing machine and over-abundant pluck and determination. Since then he has moved five times into larger quarters and today has twelve power machines and an electric cutter. He employs twenty-five people in his shop and two traveling men are busy on the road all the year. Marion, Ind, Nov. 29.—James Kelley, 71, is in the county jail, following the murder of Thomas Harvey, 69, yesterday. Both were colored and were inmates at the National Soldiers' Home here. The old comrades had quarreled and Harvey's body was found along the river bank. He had been stabbed in the heart. Sheriff George says Kelly has confessed that he killed Harvey in self defense. A revolver was found grasped in Harvey's hand Kelley lived in Indianapolis until fifteen years ago, when he entered the home. NO 13 The new assistant register of the United States treasury, J. P.

They were arrested in a raid on a house in East Laporte, in which twenty-five persons were taken. The police have been watching the two for several weeks and assert that they have indisputable evidence of a traffic in colored girls between Laporte and Chicago and Chicago and Michigan City. Resortt have not been tolerated in Laporte since the now metropolitan police system has been started, and the police are determined to break up the business in this vicinity. The Topeka Negro Business League, under the leadership of Messrs. G. D. Olden, president, and J. M. Wright, secretary, held its regular meeting Monday, November 11, at the League headquarters. The thing about this local Negro Business League is that it not only holds regular meetings, but has a regular and stated headquarters for its meetings. It has a committee on trade extension, which is called upon to make its reports at every meeting. At the last meeting held a very attractive business proposition was submitted, and all of the members brought along their check books. Under the direction of the local league of Topeka two coal yards have been established this fall, a moving picture theater has been fully financed, and will be open to the public in a short time. The Topeka League is already planning its arrangements for the Kansas State Negro Business League, which is to be held in February, 1913. We feel that the Business League of Topeka is a model for other leagues. COLORADO POPULATION Composition and Characteristics Set Forth in Bulletin Prepared by Wm. C. Hunt of Federal Census Bureau. Western Newspaper Union News Service. The first population bulletin for Colorado gave the number of inhabitants by counties and minor civil divisions, the decennial increase and the density of population, and the proportion, urban and rural. The present bulletin deals with the composition and characteristics of the population. The two bulletins cover all the principal topics of the population census except occupations and ownership of homes. A series of summary tables (numbered 1 to 15) reproduces from the general tables the more important state and city totals, and presents also certain additional data relative to state of birth, age, and marital condition. The census inquiry as to school attendance was merely as to whether the person enumerated had attended any kind of school at any time from September 1, 1909, to the date of enumeration, April 15, 1910.

DECREASE OF $319,027.88 SHOWN IN MEASURE INTRODUCED IN THE HOUSE. BIG CUT IN ESTIMATE SENATOR BRISTOW PROPOSES INITIATIVE AND RECALL FOR JUDICIAL DECISIONS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington—The first big supply bill of the present session of Congress, the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, was reported to the House by the appropriation committee. The measure carries $34,897,105.50, a decrease of $319.027.88 from the corresponding bill of the previous session. The estimates of the secretary of the treasury, $36,514,955.50, were cut more than $1,000,000.00 by the committee. As presented to the full committee by the subcommittee which framed it, the bill included a provision by Representative Burleson of Texas, making former Presidents members-at-large of the House with a salary of $17,500. But a full committee disapproved and it was struck out. The Commerce Court is not provided for in the measure. The court asked for $54,500 for the coming fiscal year but the committee could not allow the item. The last legislative, executive and judicial bill gave the court just enough money to continue it to March 4th next year. President-elect Wilson will probably get the regular annual allowance of $25,000 for traveling expenses. The committee included in the bill a provision putting the clerks of the House on the House pay-rolls and paying them direct. At present members draw $1,500 a year for clerk hire and pay their own clerks. There has been much complaint that the full amount does not go to the clerk. The bill omits all appropriations for the mints at Carson, Nev., and assay offices at Charlotte, N. C., Boise, Ida., Helena, Mont., and Salt Lake IcTV, Utah. The initiative, and the recall of judicial decisions, as amendments to the federal constitution, were proposed by Senator Bristow in resolutions laid before the Senate. SNEED AND WIFE RECONCILED. Man Acquitted of the Murder of A. G. Boyce Visiting at Calvert. Fort Worth, Tex.—John Beal Sneed, acquitted of the murder of A. G. Boyce, has become reconciled to his wife, whose elopement with Al. Boyce brought about the killing of the Boyces, father and son. Sneed and his wife have left for a visit to Calvert. J. D. Crane, foreman of the jury, said, regarding the verdict: "We freed Sneed simply because this is Texas. In Texas, we believe in the protection of the home at any cost—even if killing the person responsible for the wrecking of a home is necessary." It was learned that the verdict of acquittal was reached on the second ballot. On the first ballot it is said that eleven jurors voted for acquittal and but one for conviction. 14 Hydro-Electric Concerns Merge. 14 Hydro-Electric Concerns Merge.

Western Newspaper Union News Service Washington—It will cost $823,415, 455.14 to conduct the affairs of the government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, according to the estimates of the various department heads submitted to the speaker of the House by the Secretary of the Treasury. This amount, which does not include any provision for postal service, which is expected to be self-supporting, is an increase of $72,074,248 over the appropriations made for the present year by the last Congress. Of this increase, $28,312,220 appears in the estimates of the secretary of the navy and $20,597,297 represents the increase asked by the Navy Department in the appropriations for building and equipping new vessels. The estimates would provide for three new battleships to be laid down during the year. This would make up for the lapse of one ship from the two battleships a year program caused by the action of the Democratic House in providing ror but a single ship at the last session of Congress. Another $20,000,000 or more of the total increase is shown in the estimates for the payment of pensions. The amount asked for is $185,220,000. Last year but $165,146,470 was expended for pensions. An increase of about the same amount appears in the estimates for public works for the year. The construction of public buildings planned for the year shows an increase of $1,012,530 over the appropriations for the present year, $8,722,200 being asked for that purpose. The work to be done during the year on the Panama canal will cost $30,174,432, which is $1,130,567 less than the appropriations for the current year. Of this sum $6,769,522 is asked for building fortifications and military barracks in the canal zone. This year but $2,235,000 was appropriated for fortifications at Panama. The estimates forecast another billion-dollar session of Congress, for in addition to the $23,415,455 which is the total estimated for, the postmaster general estimates that $281,791,508 will be necessary to conduct his department for the year. This amount will be supplied out of the postal revenues and will bring the total estimated appropriations for the year up to $1,105,206,963. $91,790 ASKED FOR COLORADO. Of This Sum $18,000 is for Postoffices at Grand Junction and La Junta. Washington—In the secretary of the treasury's estimate of government expenditures for the fiscal year' ending June 30, 1914, submitted to Congress the following recommendations affecting Colorado were included: Surveyor general's office, $26,590.

Some of our Negro leaders, since the enactment of the disfranchisement law are advising the Negroes to go out of politics and enter business. It is bad advice, for it means to give up one of our rights as citizens. If we give up the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which gives us the ballot, our political enemies will attempt to force us to give up the thirteenth amendment which set us free, and the fourteenth which made us citizens. Let us not grow indifferent or discouraged in our rights, but agitate in the newsappers, on the platform, in the public, in the legislative and congressional halls, and, if necessary, contend for them in the highest courts of the land until they are granted. Right, though checked temporarily, is invincible, and on the steady march to sure conquest. Below a certain degree of affluence everybody considers himself poor The man of moderate wealth or of easy circumstances will tell you that he is a poor man. The great majority of individuals, making up the bulk of the population, many owning homes and enjoying modest comforts and all in circumstances assuring an enduring period of ability to earn and command a living wage in exchange for their labor, all lay claim to the characterization of being poor. In personal assumption and belief, at least, nine-tenths of the people of the world thus classify themselves, for purposes of comparison with those whose settled possessions place them above the necessity for the co-operation and assistance of others for the securing of their actual needs. So great and extensive is the desire to claim sympathy, or to be absolved to a certain degree from responsibilities or binding obligations of conscience, that only fighting room is left in the world for the destitute or half destitute to be very poor. In fact, however, the man who has health and strength and opportunity and ability is not poor, and a large majority of the people of the world have these. That some men amass great fortunes while others, of similar station and identical opportunities at the start, acquire only moderate possessions or drift to failure, is due not always, to special genius, but often to that peculiar and seemingly supernatural direction which leads one struggling prospector to abandon a claim wherein another casual but earnest searcher stumbles upon a limitless bonanza. Complicated conditions, some founded upon the errors of social forms and some beyond human control, have to do with the making of some men rich, the keeping of the many in the ranks of imperative labor and the woes of the destitute. But the poor are only those who struggle helplessly against constant want, or who are afflicted and needy. Some there are who are helpless or afflicted, though not entirely destitute, and they, too, are poor, for they are on the way to destitution. The rest of us, making up the great majority of humanity, have the power to alter and improve our conditions. And all of us owe a duty to the poor which we should not seek to escape. Those who are worse off than we are have a moral claim upon us. The pittance to the needy, the ministrations to the afflicted, the placing of new opportunities in the way of the apparently helpless; these are the obligations which appeal to the human conscience, and which should pass down fulfilled, from the millionaire to the day laborer. --- THE POOR Pawn Tombs of Relatives. In times of financial difficulties the Loochooans, residents of the southwestern islands of Japan, sometimes pawn the graves of their relatives. They are always redeemed, however, failure to do so meaning family disgrace. The turtle-back shaped tombs, usually located on a hillside facing the water, are elaborate affairs of stone and cement, and their cost and upkeep often bankrupt the family. Roman Script Favored: Shall the world's script be Roman, such letters as we use, or Arabic or Chinese? The Roman script has by far the best chance and the best claim, according to the New York independent. Efforts are making to 'introduce it in China and Japan, and now the effort is making to interest India in reducing its fifty alphabets to a single one.

COLORADO BRED CATTLE COLORADO BRED CATTLE WIN HONORS AT INTERNATIONAL LIVE STOCK SHOW Stock Previously Shown at Denver Get Large Number of Blue Ribbons Chicago—Colorado-bred cattle again walked away with the greater part of the honors in the international stock show that is holding the attention of the stockmen and farmers here. In the carloads of fat cattle, about half of those on exhibition were Colorado bred, mostly those shown as feeders at the Denver show last January and now exhibited finished for the block. Nearly all were in the money. The William Marr North Park cattle, which were champions at Denver last January, were first in their class, and were only beaten for the grand championship by a load of magnificent Angus yearlings from Illinois. The Al Neale shorthorns from Montrose, which were champion feeders last year, were back in finished shape and were again blue ribbon winners. Competition in the feeder division was light this year, as most of the feeder cattle are holding back for the Denver show next month, but Andrew Norrell of North Park captured two blue ribbons with his Herefords. COST OF BALKAN WAR Nations Have Spent $150,000,000— Killed Number 34,600, and Wounded 163,700 London—According to the latest available estimates furnished by com- petent authorities the casualty list of the Balkan war up to the present time stands as follows: Country Killed Wounded Turkey ..... 20,000 100,000 Bulgaria ..... 10,000 40,000 Servia ..... 3,500 15,500 Montenegro ..... 800 5,000 Greece ..... 300 3,200 Totals ..... 34,600 163,700 Above the cost of maintaining their usual military establishment, it is estimated that the warring nations have spent $150,000,000 in the struggle, not counting injury to the trade, the desti- ction of property, or the lost services of the killed and maimed. SHAFROTH TELLS OF LENIENCY Flogging Urged for Punishment by Governor Baldwin Richmond, Va.—Flogging, in some cases, for children, the whipping post for violators of certain laws and sterilization of assailants of women were advocated by Governor Baldwin of Connecticut in an address here. In his speech Governor Baldwin declared that he was more in sympathy with the "classical school of penology" than the "new or noisier one, mainly made up of sentimental humanitarians or theoretical psychologists." Governor Baldwin's address followed an address by Governor Shafroth of Colorado, in which Governor Shafroth advocated lenient but certain punishment to criminals, and cited his own state as an example where this system had worked well. U. S. Women Can't Marry German Diplomats Washington—there was a veritable storm of protest, intermingled with unbelief, when the news became generally known in social circles in Washington of the edict that hereafter if a German diplomatist marries an American girl it will be considered tantamount to asking for his resignation. Denver Man's Former Wife Shoots Affinity San Francisco—A tangled romance, checkered with dramatic incidents in its devious windings, culminated when Robert J. Widney, a wealthy real estate broker of Los Angeles was shot and probably fatally wounded under peculiar circumstances at the Sorrento hotel, in the room of his paramour, Mrs. Frances Vernon Lyons, divorced wife of W. C. Lyons, a Denver insurance man. Mrs. Lyons, who, on the stage several years ago, was known as Vivian Vale, is being held in detinue at the city prison.

This promises to be one of the most interesting of the series. Our Thanksgiving dinner was a glowing success. Two hundred and fifty free dinners were served at the church and baskets were sent to those who could not get to the church. Carriages were sent for the aged members and free street car transportation was furnished to others and in this way were brought together at the church many pioneers of Denver and pillars of Zion, some of whom had not been to church in eight years. After dinner had been served, an old-fashioned reunion was engaged in and the meeting was brought to a close with hearty handshakes and Godbless-yous. Our Thanksgiving offering last Sabbath was cheerfully and generously observed. For the benefit of some who could not make their offering last Sunday the time has been extended a week. We are very grateful to Revs. Bray, Reynolds and Wallace and their congregations for their presence and assistance. The strong and timely sermon by Rev. Wallace and the inspiring music by Scott's brilliant choir deserve special mention. The pastor and officers desire to thank the Jubilee Singers for the splendid concert given Thursday evening of last week. The program was quite entertaining and a fine audience was out to witness it. On Thursday evening, December 19, the Mite Missionary Society will present Rev. Wiseman and Mr. Morrison, of Boulder. They will be assisted by Denver's best talent. The mid-week Bible class grows in interest and in numbers as well. Attorney G. G. Ross, Mrs. Anna Brown and Mrs. Thetta Miller are among the new members enrolled recently. Campbell Chapel, A. M.

Dr. Bell is an earnest and powerful preacher who has been successful in planting the church in many cities and towns throughout the southwest. Don't fail to hear him. The greatest commendation is due Mrs. L. O. Tucker for the excellent program rendered Thanksgiving evening. The financial success of both the dinner and the evening entertainment were beyond the committee's fondest hopes. The spirit of God was powerfully present in Campbell Sunday morning, and there was scarcely a dry eye anywhere in the large congregation, as everybody talked of the goodness of God and rejoiced in His love. The musical at night was of such a high order as to receive the hearty support of the full house that heard it. Mrs. Craig, the new organist, and Mr. Woodward Frazier are bringing things to pass in the choir. Madam Spires never sang to greater effect than on Sunday morning. Beautiful twelve-page programs of the Mock Annual Conference, beginning December 16th, are being circulated throughout the city. Get one and don't miss a night. Eureka hall will be crowded to witness the Rough Riders' Jubilee, Musical and Drill next Tuesday evening. The champion drill team of Colorado and Wyoming, under the direction of Mrs. L. O.

Be sure to see the baby show. At the close of the program there will be a "hog killing," at which time twelve fat hogs will be slain. Thursday evening is set apart as "An evening with the instrumental and vocal masters of Denver" under the management of Dr. Lena Harkless, secretary of the church extension department. This is to be a treat for music lovers. Remember the coming revival, tray for it and for Rev. J. P. Howard, who is coming to assist.

Quoting from the Southwestern Christian Advocate of last week's issue, the editor had this to say about the recent Home Mission celebration: "The Rev. J. N. Wallace, D. D., our pastor of Scott church, Denver, Colo., delivered an address before a full audience during Home Mission week, in the Highland Methodist Episcopal church of Denver, Dr. C. O. Thibeau, pastor. The Highland churen is one of the leading white churches of Denver, and Dr. Wallace made a fine impression." Thank you, editor. The three days' dinner was a great success from every standpoint. Those who worked so nobly deserve much praise for their unstinted labor. A large amount was raised to meet some urgent obligations. The Ladies' Aid Society is an indispensable factor in the social and financial life of the church. Dr. S. S. Turner made a splendid impression at the recent union Thanksgiving service, with her fine soprano voice. The doctor will assist with the choir. The musical and literary program, lead by Mrs. E. P. Johnson and Miss Lela Rice, was greatly enjoyed by the appreciative audience. Miss Esther Raglen had charge of the program. Dr. Turner read a very illuminated paper on Thanksgiving. Mrs. Callie Tompkins lead the League last Sabbath with a vim that is always calculated to make these topics interesting. Prof. L. H. Lighter will lead next Sunday. The subject of the topic for Sunday is "Unanswerable in Controversy; the Strength of Certainty in Belief," Matt. 22:46; Prov. 16:1. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ross was very seriously scalded last Wednesday while the mother was preparing to clean the kitchen floor. The little one stumbled against a bucket of boiling hot water. We hope for the best, for very little encouragement is held out for her recovery. The parents live at 2549 Clarkson. The Epworth League will render their farce comedy on the 23rd of December. Mrs. Lucy Coleman has moved to 2530 Clarkson, where she will welcome her many friends in the future. Mrs. R. L. Pope was a caller at the parsonage this week. Little LeRoy Wallace suffered with an attack of indigestion last week. Mrs. Anna Johns has returned to the city after an extended visit south and east.

Phone Main 7419 1905 Curtis Street A TAFT SENDS IN MESSAGE ABOUT FOREIGN AFFAIRS President Informs Congress of Our Relations With Other Nations. AMERICAN DIPLOMACY WINS Its Success in Settling Central American Troubles. DIPLOMATIC SERVICE BETTER Reorganization Has Done Much to Increase Its Efficiency—Adjustment of the Scaling and Fisheries Disputes—Interests of United States in the Near and Far East. Washington, Dec. 3. —President Taft submitted to congress today the first of several messages. It was devoted to our foreign relations and in part was as follows: The fundamental foreign policies of the United States should be raised high above the conflict of partisanship and wholly dissociated from differences as to domestic policy. In its foreign affairs the United States should present to the world a united front. The intellectual, financial and industrial interests of the country and the publicist, the wage earner, the farmer, and citizen of whatever occupation must co-operate in a spirit of high patriotism to promote that national solidarity which is indispensable to national efficiency and to the attainment of national ideals. The relations of the United States with all foreign powers remain upon a sound basis of peace, harmony and friendship. A greater insistence upon justice to American citizens or interests wherever it may have been denied and a stronger emphasis of the need of mutuality in commercial and other relations have only served to strengthen our friendships with foreign countries by placing those friendships upon a firm foundation of realities as well as aspirations. Before briefly reviewing the more important events of the last year in our foreign relations, which it is my duty to do as charged with their conduct and because diplomatic affairs are not of a nature to make it appropriate that the secretary of state make a formal annual report, I desire to touch upon some of the essentials to the safe management of the foreign relations of the United States and to endeavor, also, to define clearly certain concrete policies which are the logical modern corollaries of the undisputed and traditional fundamentals of the foreign policy of the United States. Reorganization of the State Department. At the beginning of the present administration the United States, having fully entered upon its position as a world power, with the responsibilities thrust upon it by the results of the Spanish-American war, and already engaged in laying the groundwork of a vast foreign trade upon which it should one day become more and more dependent, found itself without the machinery for giving thorough attention to, and taking effective action upon, a mass of intricate business vital to American interests in every country in the world. The department of state was an archaic and inadequate machine lacking most of the attributes of the foreign office of any great modern power. With an appropriation made upon my recommendation by the congress on August 5, 1909, the department of state was completely reorganized. There were created divisions of Latin-American affairs and of far eastern, near eastern, and western European affairs. To these divisions were called from the foreign service diplomatic and consular officers possessing experience and knowledge gained by actual service in different parts of the world and thus familiar with political and commercial conditions in the regions concerned. The work was highly specialized. The result is that where previously this government from time to time would emphasize in its foreign relations one or another policy, now American interests in every quarter of the globe are being cultivated with equal assiduity. Macit System in Conquista and Dialo tem in Consular and Diplomatic Corps. Expert knowledge and professional training must evidently be the essence of this reorganization. Without a trained foreign service there would not be men available for the work in the reorganized department of state. President Cleveland has taken the first step toward introducing the merit system in the foreign service. That had been followed by the application of the merit principle, with excellent results, to the entire consular branch. Almost nothing, however, had been done in this direction with regard to the diplomatic service. In this age of commercial diplomacy it was evidently of the first importance to train an adequate personnel in that branch of the service. Therefore, on November 26, 1909, by an executive order I placed the diplomatic service up to the grade of secretary of embassy, inclusive, upon exactly the same strict non-partisan basis of the merit system, rigid examination for appointment and promotion only for efficiency, as had been maintained without exception in the consular service.

How faithful to the merit system and how nonpartisan has been the conduct of the diplomatic and consular services in the last four years may be judged from the following: Three ambassadors now serving held their present rank at the beginning of the administration. Of the ten ambassadors whom I have appointed, five were by promotion from the rank of minister. Nine ministers now serving held their present rank at the beginning of the administration. Of the thirty ministers whom I have appointed, eleven were promoted from the lower grades of the foreign service or from the department of state. Of the nineteen missions in Latin America, where our relations are close and our interest is great, fifteen chiefs of mission are service men, three having entered the service during this administration. The thirty-seven secretaries of embassy or legation who have received their initial appointments after passing successfully the required examination were chosen for ascertained fitness, without regard to political affiliations. A dearth of candidates from southern and western states has alone made it impossible thus far completely to equalize all the states' representations in the foreign service. In the effort to equalize the representation of the various states in the consular service I have made sixteen of the twenty-nine new appointments as consul which have occurred during my administration from the southern states. This is 55 per cent. Every other consular appointment made, including the promotion of eleven young men from the consular assistant and student interpreter corps, has been by promotion or transfer, based solely upon efficiency shown in the service. In order to assure to the business and other interests of the United States a continuance of the resulting benefits of this reform, I earnestly renew my previous recommendations of legislation making it permanent along some such lines as those of the measure now pending in congress. In connection with legislation for the amelioration of the foreign service, I wish to invite attention to the advisability of placing the salary appropriations upon a better basalis. I believe that the best results would be obtained by a moderate scale of salaries, with adequate funds for the expenses of proper representation, based in each case upon the scale and cost of living at each post, controlled by a system of accounting, and under the general direction of the department of state. In line with the object which I have sought of placing our foreign service on a basis of permanency, I have at various times advocated provision by congress for the acquisition of government-owned buildings for the residence and offices of our diplomatic officers, so as to place them more nearly on an equality with similar officers of other nations and to do away with the discrimination which otherwise must necessarily be made, in some cases, in favor of men having large private fortunes. The act of congress which I approved on February 17, 1911, was a right step in this direction. The secretary of state has already made the limited recommendations permitted by the act for any one year, and it is my hope that the bill introduced in the house of representatives to carry out these recommendations will be favorably acted on by the congress during its present session. Diplomacy a Handmaid of Commerce Diplomancy a Handmaid of Commercial Intercourse and Peace The diplomacy of the present administration has sought to respond to modern ideas of commercial intercourse. This policy has been characterized as substituting dollars for bullets. It is one that appeals alike to idealistic humanitarian sentiments, to the dictates of sound policy and strategy, and to legitimate commercial aims. It is an effort frankly directed to the increase of American trade upon the axiomatic principle that the government of the United States shall extend all proper support to every legitimate and beneficial American enterprise abroad. How great have been the results of this diplomacy, coupled with the maximum and minimum provision of the tariff law, will be seen by some consideration of the wonderful increase in the export trade of the United States. Because modern diplomacy is commercial, there has been a disposition in some quarters to attribute to it none but materialistic aims. How strikingly erroneous is such an impression may be seen from a study of the results by which the diplomacy of the United States can be judged. Successful Efforts in Promotion of In the field of work toward the ideals of peace this government negotiated, but to my regret was unable to consummate, two arbitration treaties which set the highest mark of the aspiration of nations toward the substitution of arbitration and reason for war in the settlement of international disputes. Through the efforts of American diplomacy several wars have been prevented or ended. I refer to the successful tripartite mediation of the Argentine republic, Brazil, and the United States between Peru and Ecuador; the bringing of the boundary dispute between Panama and Costa Rica to peaceful arbitration; the staying of warlike preparations when Hayti and the Dominican republic were on the verge of hostilities; the stopping of a war in Nicaragua; the halting of internecine绞手 in Honduras. The government of the United States was thanked for its influence toward the restoration of amicable relations between the Argentine republic and Bolivia. The diplomacy of the United States is active in seeking to assuage the remaining ill-feeling between this country and the Republic of Colombia. In the recent Civil war in China the United States successfully joined with the other interested powers in urging an early cessation of hostilities. An agreement has been reached between the governments of Chile and Peru whereby the celebrated Tacna-Arica dispute, which has so long embittered international relations on the west coast of South America, has at last been adjusted. Simultaneously came the news that the boundary dispute between Peru and Ecuador had entered upon a stage of amicable settlement. The position of the United States in reference to the Tacna-Arica dispute between Chile and Peru has been one of non-intervention, but one of friendly influence and pacific counsel throughout the period during which the dispute in question has been the subject of interchange of views between this government and the two governments immediately concerned. In the general easing of international tension on the west coast of South America the tripartite mediation, to which I have referred, has been a most potent and beneficent factor. China. In China the policy of encouraging financial investment to enable that country to help itself has had the result of giving new life and practical application to the open-door policy. The consistent purpose of the present administration has been to encourage the use of American capital in the development of China by the promotion of those essential reforms to which China is pledged by treaties with the United States and other powers. The hypothecation to foreign bankers in connection with certain industrial enterprises, such as the Hukuang railways, of the national revenues upon which these reforms depended, led the department of state early in the administration to demand for American citizens participation in such enterprises, in order that the United States might have equal rights and an equal voice in all questions pertaining to the disposition of the public revenues concerned. The same policy of promoting international accord among the powers having similar treaty rights as ourselves in the matters of reform, which could not be put into practical effect without the common consent of all, was likewise adopted in the case of the loan desired by China for the reform of its currency. The principle of international co-operation in matters of common interest upon which our policy had already been based in all of the above instances has admitted been a great factor in that concert of the powers which has been so happily conspicuous during the perilous period of transition through which the great Chinese nation has been passing. Central America Needs Our Help in Central America Needs Our Help In Debt Adjustment In Central America the aim has been to help such countries as Nicaragua and Honduras to help themselves. They are the immediate beneficiaries. The national benefit to the United States is two-fold. First, it is obvious that the Monroe doctrine is more vital in the neighborhood of the Panama canal and the zone of the Caribbean than anywhere else. There, too, the maintenance of that doctrine falls most heavily upon the United States. It is therefore essential that the countries within that sphere shall be removed from the jeopardy involved by heavy foreign debt and chaotic national finances and from the ever present danger of international complications due to disorder at home. Hence the United States has been glad to encourage and support American bankers who were willing to lend a helping hand to the financial rehabilitation of such courtesies because this financial rehabilitation and the protection of their custom houses from being the prey of would-be dictators would remove at one stroke the menace of foreign creditors and the menace of revolutionary disorder. The second advantage to the United States is one affecting chiefly all the southern and gulf ports and the business and industry of the south. The republics of Central America and the Caribbean possess great natural wealth. They need only a measure of stability and the means of financial regeneration to enter upon an era of peace and prosperity, bringing profit and happiness to themselves and at the same time creating conditions sure to lead to a flourishing interchange of trade with this country. I wish to call your especial attention to the recent occurrences in Nicaragua, for I believe the terrible events recorded there during the revolution of the past summer—the useless loss of life, the devastation of property, the bombardment of defenseless cities, the killing and wounding of women and children, the torturing of noncombatants to exact contributions, and the suffering of thousands of human beings—might have been averted had the department of state, through approval of the loan convention by the senate, been permitted to carry out its now well-developed policy of encouraging the extending of financial aid to weak Central American states with the primary objects of avoiding just such revolutions by assisting those republics to rehabilitate their finances, to establish their currency on a stable basis, to remove the custom houses from the danger of revolutions by arranging for their secure administration, and to establish reliable banks. During this last revolution in Nicaragua, the government of that republic having admitted its inability to protect American life and property against acts of sheer lawlessness on the part of the malcontents, and having requested this government to assume that office, it became necessary to land over 2,000 marines and bluejackets in Nicaragua. Owing to their presence the constituted government of Nicaragua was free to devote its attention wholly to its internal troubles, and was thus enabled to stamp out the rebellion in a short space of time. When the Red Cross supplies sent to Granada had been exhausted, 8,000 persons having been given food in one day upon the arrival of the American forces, our men supplied other unfortunate, needy Nicaraguans from their own hawjacks. I wish to congratulate the officers and men of the United States navy and marine corps who took part in re-establishing order in Nicaragua upon their splendid conduct, and to record with sorrow the death of seven American marines and bluejackets. Since the re-establishment of peace and order, elections have been held amid conditions of quiet and tranquility. Nearly all the American marines have now been withdrawn. The country should soon be on the road to recovery. The only apparent danger now threatening Nicaragua arises from the shortage of funds. Although American bankers have already rendered assistance, they may naturally be loath to advance a loan adequate to set the country upon its feet without the support of some such convention as that of June, 1911, upon which the senate has not yet acted. The president alluded briefly to the enforcement of neutrality laws, to Secretary Knox's visit to Central America and to the unfortunate disturbances in Mexico. Continuing, the message said: Agricultural Credits. A most important work, accomplished in the past year by the American diplomatic officers in Europe, is the investigation of the agricultural credit system in the European countries. Both as a means to afford relief to the consumers of this country through a more thorough development of agricultural resources and as a means of more sufficiently maintaining the agricultural population, the project to establish credit facilities for the farmers is a concern of vital importance to this nation. No evidence of prosperity among well-established farmers should blind us to the fact that lack of capital is preventing a development of the nation's agricultural resources and an adequate increase of the land under cultivation; that agricultural production is fast falling behind the increase in population; and that, in fact, although these well-established farmers are maintained in increasing prosperity because of the natural increase in population, we are not developing the industry of agriculture. We are not breeding in proportionate numbers a race of independent and independence-loving land owners, for a lack of which no growth of cities can compensate. Our farmers have been our mainstay in times of crisis, and in future it must still largely be upon their stability and common sense that this democracy must rely to conserve its principles of self-government. The need of capital which American farmers feel today had been experienced by the farmers of Europe, with ago. The problem had been success-their centuries-old farms, many years fully solved in the old world and it was evident that the farmers of this country might profit by a study of their systems. I therefore ordered, through the department of state, an investigation to be made by the diplomatic officers in Europe, and I have laid the results of this investigation before the governors of the various states with the hope that they will be used to advantage in their forthcoming meeting. Increase of Foreign Trade. In my last annual message I said that the fiscal year ended June 30, 1911, was noteworthy as marking the highest record of exports of American products to foreign countries. The fiscal year 1912 shows that this rate of advance has been maintained, the total domestic exports having a valuation approximately of $2,200,000,000, as compared with a fraction over $2,000,000,000 the previous year. It is also significant that manufactured and partly manufactured articles continue to be the chief commodities forming the volume of our augmented exports, the demands of our own people for consumption requiring that an increasing proportion of our abundant agricultural products be kept at home. In the fiscal year 1911 the exports of articles in the various stages of manufacture, not including foodstuffs partly or wholly manufactured, amounted approximately to $907,500,000. In the fiscal year 1912 the total was nearly $1,022,000,000, a gain of $114,000,000. Advantage of Maximum and Minimum The importance which our manufactures have assumed in the commerce of the world in competition with the manufactures of other countries again draws attention to the duty of this government to use its utmost endeavors to secure impartial treatment for American products in all markets. Healthy commercial rivalry in international intercourse is best assured by the possession of proper means for protecting and promoting our foreign trade. It is natural that competitive countries should view with some concern this steady expansion of our commerce. If in some instances the measure taken by them to meet it are not entirely equitable, a remedy should be found. In former messages I have described the negotiations of the department of state with foreign governments for the adjustment of the maximum and minimum tariff as provided in section 2 of the tariff law of 1909. The advantages secured by the adjustment of our trade relations under this law have continued during the last year, and some additional cases of discriminatory treatment of which we had reason to complain have been removed. The department of state has for the first time in the history of this country obtained substantial most-favored-nation treatment from all the countries of the world. There are, however, other instances which, while apparently not constituting undue discrimination in the sense of section 2, are nevertheless exceptions to the complete equity of tariff treatment for American products that the department of state consistently has sought to obtain for American commerce abroad. Necessity for Supplementary Leigslatation These developments confirm the opinion conveyed to you in my annual message of 1911, that while the maximum and minimum provision of the tariff law of 1909 has been fully justified by the success achieved in removing previously existing undue discriminations against American products, yet experience has shown that this feature of the law should be amended in such way as to prevent a fully effective means of meeting the varying degrees of discriminatory treatment of American commerce in foreign countries still encountered, as well as to protect against injurious treatment on the part of foreign governments, through either legislative of administrative measures, the financial interests abroad of American citizens whose enterprises enlarge the market for American commodities. I can not too strongly recommend to congress the passage of some such enabling measure as the bill which was recommended by the secretary of state in his letter of December 13, 1911. The object of the proposed legislation is, in brief, to enable the executive to apply, as the case may require, to any or all commodities, whether or not on the free list from a country which discriminates against the United States, a graduated scale of duties up to the maximum of 25 per cent. ad valorem provided in the present law. Flat tariffs are out of date. Special Claims Arbitration With Great Britain The special agreement entered into between the United States and Great Britain on August 18, 1910, for the arbitration of outstanding pecuniary claims, a schedule of claims and the terms of submission have been agreed upon by the two governments, and together with the special agreement were approved by the senate on July 19, 1911, but in accordance with the terms of the agreement they did not go into effect until confirmed by the two governments by an exchange of notes, which was done on April 26 last. Negotiations are still in progress for a supplemental schedule of claims to be submitted to arbitration under this agreement, and meanwhile the necessary preparations for the arbitration of the claims included in the first schedule have been undertaken and are being carried on under the authority of an appropriation made for that purpose at the last session of congress. It is anticipated that the two governments will be prepared to call upon the arbitration tribunal, established under this agreement, to meet at Washington early next year to proceed with this arbitration. Fur Seal Treaty and Need for Amendment of Our Statute The act adopted at the last session of Congress to give effect to the furseal convention of July 1, 1911, between Great Britain, Japan, Russia and the United States, provided for the suspension of all land killing of seals on the Pribilof islands for a period of five years, and an objection has now been presented to this provision by the other parties in interest, which raises the issue as to whether or not this prohibition of land killing is inconsistent with the spirit, if not the letter, of the treaty stipulations. The justification for establishing this close season depends, un- der the terms of the convention, upon how far, if at all, it is necessary for protecting and preserving the American fur-seal herd and for increasing its number. This is a question requiring examination of the present condition of the herd and the treatment which it needs in the light of actual experience and scientific investigation. A careful examination of the subject is now being made, and this government will soon be in possession of a considerable amount of new information about the American seal herd, which has been secured during the past season and will be of great value in determining this question; and if it should appear that there is any uncertainty as to the real necessity for imposing a close season at this time, I shall take an early opportunity to address a special message to congress on this subject, in the belief that this government should yield on this point rather than give the slightest ground for the charge that we have been in any way remiss in observing our treaty obligations. Final Settlement of North Atlantic Fisheries Dispute. On the 20th of July last an agreement was concluded between the United States and Great Britain adopting, with certain modifications, the rules and method of procedure recommended in the award rendered by the North Atlantic Coast Fisheries Arbitration Tribunal on September 7, 1910, for the settlement hereafter, in accordance with the principle laid down in the award, of questions arising with reference to the exercise of the American fishing liberties under Article I of the treaty of October 20, 1818, between the United States and Great Britain. This agreement received the approval of the senate on August 1 and was formally ratified by the two governments on November 15 last. The rules and a method of procedure embodied in the award provided for determining by an impartial tribunal the reasonableness of any new fishery regulations on the treaty coasts of Newfoundland and Canada before such regulations could be enforced against American fishermen exercising their treaty liberties on those coasts, and also for determining the delimitation of bays on such coasts more than 10 miles wide, in accordance with the definition adopted by the tribunal of the meaning of the word "bays" as used in the treaty. Imperial Valley and Mexico Imperial Valley and Mexico. In order to make possible the more effective performance of the work necessary for the confinement in their present channel of the waters of the lower Colorado river, and thus to protect the people of the Imperial Valley, as well as in order to reach with the government of Mexico an understanding regarding the distribution of the waters of the Colorado river, in which both governments are much interested, negotiations are going forward with a view to the establishment of a preliminary Colorado river commission, which shall have the powers necessary to enable it to do the needful work and with authority to study the question of the equitable distribution of the waters. There is every reason to believe that an understanding upon this point will be reached and that an agreement will be signed in the near future. The message told what the government has done in connection with the Balkan war and in placing the government of Liberia in position to pay its debts. The new condition of affairs in China was set forth, and then our relations with Central and South American governments were set forth in more detail. It concluded as follows: Congress should fully realize the conditions which obtain in the world as we find ourselves at the threshold of our middle age as a nation. We have emerged full grown as a peer in the great concourse of nations. We have passed through various formative periods. We have been self-centered in the struggle to develop our domestic resources and deal with our domestic questions. The nation is now too mature to continue in its foreign relations those temporary expedients natural to a people to whom domestic affairs are the sole concern. In the past our diplomacy has consisted, in normal times, in a assertion of the right to international existence. We are now in a larger relation with broader rights of our own and obligations to others than ourselves. A number of great guiding principles were laid down early in the history of this government. The recent task of our diplomacy has been to adjust those principles to the conditions of today, to develop their corollaries, to find practical applications of the old principles expanded to meet new situations. Thus are being evolved bases upon which can rest the superstructure of policies which must grow with the destined progress of this nation. The successful conduct of our foreign relations demands a broad and a modern view. We can not meet new questions nor build for the future if we confine ourselves to outworn dogmas of the past and to the perspective appropriate at our emergence from colonial times and conditions. The opening of the Panama canal will mark a new era in our international life and create new and world-wide conditions which, with their vast correlations and consequences, will obtain for hundreds of years to come. We must not wait for events to overtake us unawares. With continuity of purpose we must deal with the problems of our external relations by a diplomacy modern, resourceful, magnanimous, and fittingly expressive of the high ideals of a great nation. WH.

Where Are Your Interests AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Indicative of the progress of the southern negro are the figures given in regard to the increased value of farm lands, implements and equipment in the report of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, which has just been published. In this report Booker T. Washington, principal of the institute, points out that the great need of the south is agricultural education for its negroes, and calls attention to the relation between the prosperity of a farming community and the establishment of schools and the advancement of all kinds of education. "The large increase in the amount of property owned by negroes," says the report, "is, I am sure, due to the teaching that has gone out from the annual Tuskegee negro conference and similar agencies. I find that the value of domestic animals owned by negro farmers of the south increased during the last ten years 108 per cent., $85,000,000 to $177,000,000; poultry, from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000, or 25 per cent.; implements and machinery from $18,000,000 to $36,000,000, or 100 per cent.; land and buildings from $69,000,000 to $270,000,000, or 293 per cent. The total value of farm property owned by southern negroes increased during the last ten years 177 per cent." In his report Washington calls attention to the improvement in the standard of life among the negroes in rural districts of the south, comparing those who now attend the conferences and extension meetings of the institute with those who used to appear at its gatherings. "In former years," he says, "the conference was made up of uncouth renters and croppers and a few owners; now it is largely composed of welldressed, intelligent, progressive and wideawake owners, eager to discuss farming methods." Mr. Watt Terry, of Brockton, Mass., the young negro real estate agent, who has had such an exceptional career, stated at the recent meeting of the National Negro Business league, that he controlled real estate aggregating $500,000. There were those disposed to discredit Mr. Terry's statement at the time, so much so that the executive committee of the business league, through its secretary, made a special report in open session with regard thereto. Since the Chicago meeting, Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the National Negro Business league, has been quietly investigating the matter at the hands of responsible Brockton people. A letter just received from the secretary of the Young Men's Christian association, White, of Brockton, states: "Some weeks ago I wrote you relative to our mutual friend, (Mr. Watt Terry's) business, but now I want to enclose the clipping from the tax list which you will see is positive evidence that at the time the taxes were recorded he was carrying well on towards $300,000, and I know his large purchase of $120,000 occurred since then, so with the estimated valuation of these properties, in the minds of our best real estate men, I am thoroughly satisfied that the amounts reported are very little, if any, overstated. It is certainly a most wonderful development in a few years." It must be gratifying to the negro people everywhere to learn that one of their race has achieved so wonderfully in so short a space of time. Mr. Terry is an alert, aggressive, but sincerely modest young man. In his promotion to the rank of major, just announced at the war department, Charles Young of the Ninth cavalry, a negro, becomes the first man of his race to attain that grade in the regular army of the United States. Major Young is also the only negro officer of the army who was graduated from the Military Academy at West Point. He has served with the Ninth cavalry, Tenth cavalry and Twenty-fifth infantry, all negro regiments, during his entire service, with the exception of a year's service in the Seventh cavalry, a white regiment. Fisk University at Nashville, Tenn., is making efforts to raise the sum of $135,000 as an endowment fund, and Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan has promised to give the last $25,000. It is a generous offer, and if a few others of the wealthy men and women of the land would be just half as generous as Mr. Morgan the faculty of Fisk would soon be in possession of the sum needed to carry on its work. "The interests of one colored man should be the concern of all." Dr. W. T. Vernon, formerly register of the United States treasury, has been elected president of Campbell college, Jackson, Miss. Dr. Vernon was for sixteen years at the head of the Western University at Quindaro and is considered one of the foremost negro educators in the United States. The dreams of the people who dream, come true to the ones who don't dream so much as they work. Most people fail to be original because they fear to be. In his annual report to the trustees of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, Booker T. Washington states that the total valuation of the personal property, lands, buildings and securities in possession of the trustees is $3,606,825.47. Referring to the financial status of Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Washington reports: "I am glad to say that the number of individual donors to the school has increased within the past 12 months. While the aggregate amount is not as large, it is important, in my opinion, to increase every year the number of individual small donors. We have received during the year from all sources $205,178.88 for operating expenses; from undesignated legacies (to be used at the discretion of the trustees) $26,825.21; for special donations and improvements of the plant, $33,42.23, of which $22,622.95 is still unexpended. The total amount added to the endowment fund during the year has been $28,560.50, making our endowment fund at the present time $1,859,015.08. The value of the plant at Tuskegee is now $1,362,601.24; the present value of the 19,910 acres of mineral land, given by special act of congress some years ago and remaining unsold, is about $250,000, making a total valuation of the personal property, lands, buildings and securities in the possession of our trustees, $3,606,825.47. The attendance for the year has been 1,067 young men and 578 young women. They have come from 34 states and 19 foreign countries, or colonies of such foreign country. Fewer have entered late and left before the close of the year than has been the case heretofore. Those who have gone forth from our home mission schools and have given themselves to home making, teaching, preaching and general uplift work, are verily the little leaven in negro life that will leaven the whole lump. It pays to help the negro so that he may help himself, and it pays the negro to help himself so that he may gain strength, faith, courage and experience to better help himself.—National Baptist Review. The Norfolk, Va., City Council has passed a law requiring all washerwomen to be registered. The object of the law is to protect white families from tuberculosis is discovered in a house no one in that house is allowed to take in washing. The law works terrible hardship on those who depend on washing for a livelihood. Only about 1 per cent. of the total wealth of the United States is invested in church property, but, according to Dr. Booker Washington, over 8 per cent. of the wealth of the negroes of the country is invested in this way. They have 35,000 churches, with 3,700,000 members. Dr. J. W. Barrett, member of the Board of Governors, University of Melbourne, Australia, in an article which recently appeared in the Melbourne Argus, states: "It really looks as if he, (Booker T. Washington), had led the world from the educational point of view." Every time a man speaks to a girl of eighteen the oil and velvet shows up in his voice. When a man thinks he's eating brain food he is really feeding his vanity. The groucher spoils no one else's time so much as his own. Envy is something which is as hard to efface as indelible ink. Some women live as though high style were the standard of heaven. A great character is one who knows how to give an idea of largeness. Cheerfulness has taken many a sting from sorrow, when that sorrow was real. When a wife laughs in her sleeve, be sure the husband has been widely comic. A treacherous disposition makes even its possessor miserable because of treachery. Millionaires let their wives and daughters get the airs while they get the millions. Money makes the mare go, but it is an obstacle to a young mule. SWISS EGGS. Beat just enough to mix four eggs and grate about a cupful of cheese. Put cheese in pan with a large tablespoonful of butter, and when nearly melted add the eggs. Stir rapidly and serve as soon as cooked. Just before sending to the table add salt and cayenne. When a man tells his wife good-by and sees a girl friend coming towards him gushingly, everybody knows that's a close shave. HAVE ARTISTIC CHINA HAVE ARTISTIC CHINA ARTICLES NEED NOT BE ESPECIALLY EXPENSIVE. Care In Selection Is the Main Thing and Proper Method of Maintaining Them In the Best Shape Is the Next Requirement. Always select your china and glassware carefully. While it is not wise to have costly china for ordinary use, there is no reason why every piece, from teapot to pie dish, should not be artistic. The most delightful patterns can be purchased just as cheaply as the over-decorated "charity treat" variety. It is a good plan to buy china that can be replaced if any is broken. Many designs come in what is known as "open stock." The china cupboard usually found is an unhandy place to store china. Plates and dishes not in constant use become dust-covered and discolored. To keep china in a perfect condition it should be cared for properly. This means it should be washed now and then. When china becomes chipped, discard it for use in the icebox. Nothing looks worse than a collection of cracked or nicked dishes on the table. No matter how well cooked the meal may be, if served on broken dishes it is not a success. Unless there is ample room for storage it is foolish for a housewife to have an oversupply of china. When the china first comes home from the store boll it before using. The lifetime of thinnest china is greatly extended in this manner. Wrap each piece with an old linen cloth and place in a shallow pan. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Boll carefully for ten minutes, then cool gradually and remove the china. It will not be easily chipped or broken with ordinary use. Keep special china for all culinary purposes. When it becomes necessary to warm food, use these dishes. Sparkling china and glass are the "hallmark" of a well-appointed dining table. Great care should be observed that each piece of china is thoroughly dried after washing. How to Iron Embroidery. The finishing touch in ironing embroidery is very important, if the work is to look really well. A special cloth should be kept for the purpose, and when not in use should be wrapped in paper to preserve it from dust or soil. The best thing for such an ironing cloth is heavy cotton felt, such as is placed over a dining table. Fold a piece of the cloth, and sew the edges together, so that you will have two thicknesses on which to work. The embroidery should be laid face downward on the cloth, with a thin, damp cloth over, and then carefully pressed with a moderately-hot iron. Treated in this way, the embroidery sinks into the yielding substance of the felt, and stands out effectively. Dutch Salad. One large cauliflower, one small cabbage, one quart green tomatoes, nine red (hot) peppers; chop to suit taste and cook in just water enough to keep from sticking until cauliflower is tender; put one-half cup salt on before adding water. Make a dressing of three cups sugar, one cup flour, ten tablespoonfuls mustard, $2\frac{1}{2}$ quarts of cider vinegar; cook until thick and add four tablespoons of celery seed and tumeric powder to color, if desired. Add to pickles and add one quart small onions, chopped, and one dozen large cucumber pickles, also chopped. Let boil up good and bottle while hot. Make nine quarts. Butter Cake To 1 1-3 pounds of flour add three teaspoons of baking powder, one tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt. Take half milk and half water to make a dough to be rolled out as for pie crust, about half an inch hickt. Cut out with a small round cutter, drop into a skillet of hot butter and fry to a rich brown. When brown on one side, turn. It will take half a pound of butter to fry them. The recipe does not call for molasses, but I put a tablespoon in to make them brown. Frosted Lemon Pie. Yolks of two eggs and one cup of sugar beaten together. Add two tablespoons of flour, one and one-half cups sweet milk; put in a double boiler; cook till it thickens like cream. Take from stove. When cool, add the juice of one large lemon. Line a deep plate with crust, pour in the mixture. Bake till the crust is done. Frost with the whites of the eggs. Put back in the oven till the frosting is a delicate brown. Cleaning a White Felt Hat. To clean a white felt hat successfully, get some powdered magnesia and work it into smooth paste with cold water. With a brush rub this all over the hat, most thickly on the dirty parts, and let dry. Then with a clean brush, brush the hat thoroughly and shake free of the powder. A second or even third application may be necessary if the hat is very dirty. Eggs With Cheese. Heat cup of cream in chafing dish, drop eggs carefully into hot cream and poach a few minutes. When done place egg on hot toast and season with salt and pepper. Lastly drop spoonful of grated cheese on each egg and serve. DELIVERED TO SUBSCRIBERS AT SIXTY CENTS A MONTH.

The inanimate decoration is used by the young lady in the guise of a pet. It is also used for a neck covering on evening gowns. It is one of the winter's novelties. Showing the Possibilities of This Charming Ornamentation When It Is Properly Applied. Our artist has illustrated in the sketch before you an excellent example of the charm of fur trimming. The alliance of a lace waistcoat with white panne gives added charm. This blouse is especially suited to five o'clock calls or bridge teas, especially as it can be comfortably worn under a fur or velvet coat. The foundation Y. is of dull Louis blue satin, velled all over with deep purple chiffon so as to correspond with the skirt of purple cloth. The roll-over collar and waitband is of deep purple velvet, the collar and oversleeve of which are edged with skunk. On the head is worn a soft beret of ruby velvet and purple, with a big white heron's feather. A novelty is shown in the muff of skunk with an entire skin of white fox, lined with purple silk, flatly applied on the muff in hearth-rug fashion. Buttoned Down the Back. Skirts buttoned all the way down the back are the latest caper of fashion. An evening gown, worn at a large reception recently, had one of these skirts. The gown was of pale yellow satin charmeuse, the sides of the skirt being lifted in slight draped effect at the hip and passing under the broad panel which formed back and train. This back panel was buttoned down the center with small buttons of the yellow satin set closely together, and the line of buttons extended from the waist line to the end of the train. The satin skirt was draped up over bodice of yellow chiffon, and yellow satin buttoned boots and long, embroidered gloves of pale yellow silk completed the costume. Effective Sults. Suits combining broadcloth and velvet are effective. Three-piece costumes are made of charmeuse and velvet, the latter being used for the coat and the dress trimming. Something That Every Youngster Needs—Its Manufacture and Proper Mode of Preservation. Overalls—Get a pattern one size larger than age called for; cut the pattern off just above the knee, and if desired raise the material under the arm, also over the back and chest. This is not always necessary; it depends upon the pattern of overall. Try the pattern against the child, and allow from four to six inches below the collar. Cape—Circular cape; length, a little shorter than length inside of the elbow, to give perfect freedom. Sleeves—Plain, not full, cut by any ordinary sleeve pattern. Place the cape and the sleeves on the child and where the sleeves naturally join the cape, pin over the shoulder and baste. The underpart of the sleeve is left free, and is bound with narrow bias fold of material or tape. Stitch the military strap on top of the shoulder of the cape to prevent the stitching showing. This adds strength and gives a trim effect. When the costume is complete, dip in melted paraffin (which has been removed from the stove) in a kettle large enough to allow the goods to be well immersed. Leave in the hot solution for ten or fifteen minutes, allowing the parts equal opportunity to absorb paraffin. Lift out carefully by the hem and allow to drip. When dry, the garment will be stiff. Rub between the hands to reduce stiffness and remove any unnecessary paraffin, which is apt to be too thick in heavy places. The garment may be redipped at any time and the same paraffin may be used again. Generally two dippings annually give perfect satisfaction Scrollwork Drapery. Soft satins are draped with mousse line and chiffon, having a covering of Rennalsance scrollwork all over in a darker shade, that is most lovely. The graceful drapery of such gowns is quite indescribable. A very pretty soft falling black satin has a black lace front over white chiffon, the vest all puckered and white chiffon brought to the neck with the black lace on either side. The sleeves are made of black tulle puffings over white to the wrist. On many of the black dresses a touch of color is introduced and has a wonderful effect, seeing how little is used—just a strip of ribbon introduced on one side. Many of the gowns made in diaphanous materials have a panel of satin starting from above the waist and carried down the entire length of the skirt. Plush as Coat Trimming. One of the trimming notes that have met with great success in coats at the present time is plush, says the Dry Goods Economist. The plush used has a very deep nap, giving the effect of fur. It makes a most attractive finish. Seal brown, which gives the same effect as beaver, and taupe, which gives the effect of mole, are among the popular colors. Color Beauty Touches. The Roman sash lends a pretty effectiveness to the plain tailored velvet till the idea shall have been taken up too commonly, and there are many other little adaptations of color that enhance their beauty.
