ADVOCA NEGRO NEW The doctor tells you that to make a great race, health must be regarded as one of the great cardinal principles. The minister will tell you that a race cannot be great unless it is firmly fixed and founded upon the principles of Christianity and the church. The educationalist will tell you that an ignorant race will never be regarded seriously by any people. The historian will tell you that military achievement and prowess, coupled with a spirit of heroism and valor, are foremost in the elements of greatness in a race. The philosopher will tell that a fair proportion of all the prerequisite forces working together in harmony, for the good of all mankind, will make a race great. Some say get land, wealth, education, religion, and it appears that all are at sea on the very pressing needs to bring the Negro race up to the mark of average respectability. Ten million dollars invested in churches; twenty millions in colleges and schools; two hundred millions invested in homes; four hundred millions invested in farms live stock and farm implements; sixty millions invested in trades, business and professions; a hundred thousand Negro soldiers' graves; five million dollars invested in lodges, temples and paraphernalia, and at the present time the Negro has a speaking acquaintance with every representative force of the world's civilization, and yet he is a weak, despised race, because he has no great fixed nation and purpose. He must take whatever comes to him from some great, colossal, apalling force. He must look up into the face of the white man, and say, "I thank you sir, for small favors," and be glad that he is living, jubilant that matters are as well as they are, for they might be worse, and he is helpless to help himself. The money the Negro spends with the railroads taking needless trips to summer resorts, to meaningless conventions, and good-time foolishness, running up and down the country, would establish in every Southern State a mammouth daily newspaper, a paper that would employ our best and easily available scholars, far superior to the white men who collaborate and edit the news of the Southland. If the Negro had one-tenth as much interest in living as he has in dying he could publish a great daily newspaper in every large city. If he looked for reward on earth as hopefully as he looks for it in heaven, he would find his reward in doing a hundred good things while on earth that might not conflict with his religion. Religion, education, wealth and health all combine to beautify and adorn man into God's image, but the image of a living God. A dead Negro going to heaven isn't any good for our material world, only as he rapidly crumbles back into dust. The great daily newspaper is as much one of the very pressing needs of the race as the church, the college or the farm. A progressive race cannot well afford to dispense with any element of strength that can be welded into our racial structure. Look at the potency and influence of our weekly papers dealing almost wholly with race news only. And yet only a small fraction of race news, for as yet no incentive has stimulated the race along the line of newsgathering. Imagine what a great and beautiful world would open up to the Negro in the realm of daily journalism. Necessity would in truth become the mother of invention, and if ever it were possible to attain reciprocity in journalism, the Negro would find greater facilities in getting favorable race news printed in the metropolitan press of the country, and he would have also some influence in having unfavorable news and scarce headlines proddely censored or withheld altogether. Until the Negro shall have marshaled his forces in the world of thought, and built up for himself a real fortress, viz., the daily newspaper propaganda, he will not be taken seriously, and a very large per cent. of race effort along every avenue of race developmen will lag, and drag, and much will be disregarded for lack of impetus, while a great deal will but poorly be supported. It is no vain speech to say that for the most part the vast majority of Negroes who have become generally known owe it to such papers as the Indianapolis Freeman, the New York Age, the Southwestern Christian Advocate, the Bee, the Color- DENVER, COLOBADO, SATURDAY. JANUARY 11 1913. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House. HANTS WH ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER. COLORADO ed American, and hundreds of others. It was a weekly press that fostered their interests, advocated their projects, and thereby the world began to read of this man and that man, and what he wanted to do and did do. We are not to despise the day of small things. From the small acorn the huge oak, with its mighty spread of branches, grew. The entire Negro race of the world will forever owe a debt of gratitude to our illustrious Frederick Douglass Paper, and later the North Star, for over twenty years, in Rochester, N. Y.; nor did his great newspaper suspend publication until every slave in the United States was given his freedom; nor did, he cease waging fearful warfare with a virile pen until every Negro was clothed in the panoply of citizenship, with his right to vote. Douglass saw the need of the newspaper as far back as 1840, and although he used to say, "If you wish to hide anything from the Negro, put it in the newspapers," it must be remembered and considered in the noblest scence of charity and good fellowship that the people who read the Frederick Douglass Paper and the North Star were the ones who, through the force and potency of Douglass' pen, because constrained to give their sons up as living sacrifices to carry forward the great principles that engaged his noble heart in behalf of the millions of his racial brethren in slavery. We have grown to be a great race, but in numbers only. We are not great in anything else, because we refuse to build up the other potent and practical institutions that make other races great. We need the great daily morning and evening Negro newspapers in at least every big city of the country. When we reach that altitude of racial respect that we have as a weapon of defense something with which to call the white man a liar as often as he tells it, and to print the news of "The truth teller," instead of giving credence to news stuff fixed up for big sensationalism, and to sell, the more it departs from the honorable and square purpose, then we will just be emerging from the primer, and taking our place in the school of the world, in the class of the first reader. To-day the white daily papers print whatever they please about us, and we can but feebly attract them to our little newspaper; if we answer them, the people whom we wish to attract never know we have answered them. If we have some cause that gnaws at our heart for a high and noble purpose, if it should concern the Negro, it will not be published, but returned with regrets, or be thrown into the waste basket. All this the Negro knows, but he is slumbering in a hypnotic stupor, glad and happy, contented with heaven, about which he has only the cheapest conception, spending his money pell-mell, running, jumping, grinning, shouting, enthralled by that sleeping sickness of his fatherland, and will only be aroused by fighting for a country that refuses him protection, denies him the right to vote, and it seems that he will not even be dynamited into sober, sensible, manly realization of the fact that "nothing attempted, nothing done." NEGROES WHO CANNOT VOTE CAN'T SIT ON JURIES Oklahoma City, Jan. 1.—Negroes barred from voting by the "grandfather clause" are not entitled to sit on juries, by the same method of reasoning ruled the criminal court of appeals in the Jesse McIntosh murder case from Wagoner county Tuesday, but the blacks must not be excluded from the panel because of their race and color, the opinion added. McIntosh, a Negro himself, was given a new trail of the case in which District Judge R. C. Allen previously sentenced him to life imprisonment. The reversal was based on faulty instructions by the trial court, though much of the opinion by Presiding Judge Furman had to do with the Negro question. The appellant had contended that Negroes were barred from the jury panel, although there were 10,000 to 12,000 in the county. Judge Furman held that the trial court should have given the defendant an opportunity to prove that the Negroes were kept off because of color alone. He held also that no one not a qualified voter was qualified for jury service. OIL AND GAS The recent report of the U. S. geological survey shows that Oklahoma is forging to the front ranks in the production of oil and gas. In 1906 the famous Glenn pool was discovered and many persons reaped a fortune from the oil in that pool. The Henryetta pool and the Schulter pool bid fair to equal the Glenn pool and we look for many fortunes to come from investments in these fields. The Xenia Real Estate Co., has some holdings in the Schulter field. Improved Pressing Iron. A new electric pressing iron is equipped with metal plates, which can be inserted to increase its weight when desired. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Abberville, La., Jan. 4.—A Negro woman residing in this vicinity a few days since gave birth to five children. They were well formed, all being males, but still-born. Miss Phyllis W. Waters, a senior in Ann Arbor high school, has been elected captain of the basketball team. This is the first time in the history of the school this honor has been conferred upon a colored girl. She is the daughter Phil Waters, who was also a great athlete when he was a student at the University of Michigan in the 90's. Charleston, W. Va., Dec. 31. Mrs. Lillian Starks, died suddenly at the home of her brother-in-law, E. C. Berry, Atheus, O., December 24. She was buried from the home of her late husband in Charleston, West Va., December 28. It will be remembered that Mr. Starks was State Librarian of West Virginia and Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythians at the time of his death some five years ago. Austin, Texas, Jan. 1.—Announcement was made here today that mandamus proceedings in the Supreme Court of the United States to compel the surrender of six soldiers at Fort Clark, near Bracketville, to the civil authorities of Kinney county, Texas, will be withdrawn, on Gov. Colquitt's request. The soldiers were wanted in connection with a shooting affray at a Mexican dance at Brackettville. Gov. Colquitt has been informed the military authorities will turn over the troopers without a contest. After a good deal of effort we are gradually getting to the point where the most dignified and responsible publications in the United States are beginning to capitalize the work "Negro" just the same as they do the words Jew or Irish. Both the outlook and the Century Magazine have recently decided hereafter to spell the word Negro with a capital "N." This we think is a distinct victory. We hope that publications like the Independent and the New York Evening Post will soon follow the Outlook ane Century. In Pittsburg a number of church choirs were in competition for a prize, and some one of them would have carried off the honors had NO 18 not a colored choir appeared on the scene. When they started it became evident there were just two sorts of singing in the contest, the old fashioned camp meeting kind and the new. The Negro choir was encored and encored and every body knew where the prize was going before the Judge made the announcement. The best part of it was they were unanimously in their decision. When it comes to singing, hats off please to us.—Chicago Defender. Macon, Ga., Dec. 31.—Mr. and Mrs. William McEwen Johnston, Georgia avenue, the wealthiest white citizen, in this town, were the hosts on Thursday evening, December 26, of twenty-four Negroes, their servants and friends of their servants, both men and woman. The occasion was a reception to their servants and their magnificent home was the scene of the festivities. The hosts spared no pains to make the evening enjoyable for their guests and a sumptuous supper was served in the Johnston dining room. Mrs. Johnson is one of the leaders of society in middle Georgia and her circle is of the most exclusive. Some of their white friends called during the evening and joined with Mr. and Mrs. Johnston in entertaining the colored guests. Oakland, Cal., Dec. 30.—A call has been issued to the Pullman porters of the country by P. L. Saulter, Oakland, Cal., in an effort to get them to come together in an organized union. In his letter he refers to the advantages taken of the porters by the officials over them, the way in which their money is deducted for so-called shortages, the oppressive actions of illiterate and ignorant conductors, the subserviency which they are obliged to show to anybody who is able to buy accommodations on their cars, and declares that it is necessary for self-protection that some kind of an organization be formed by means of which these wrongs can be stopped. Expenses of the proposed organization will be met by Mr. Saulter himself and the porters will not be called on to bear any part of it. The company will be asked to increase wages, give better treatment and a number of other concessions will be asked for. The porters are requested to sign the lists which Mr. Saulter has had prepared and which he has sent out to various parts of the country. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Waiving the question about the northern negro's being a fool, since we can't get anywhere on that line, let us ask if there be any other reason for this divergence in conduct between the northern negro and his southern brother in this matter of race patronage. First, we must admit the humiliating and somewhat anomalous fact that the negro would rather trade or do business with anybody else on earth than with a negro. Why? Probably the correct answer lies in the fact that he was for two and a half centuries a slave and because of his having emerged from that condition only yesterday so to speak. He has never yet learned the dynamic force of massed dollars, massed strength or purpose, nor has he the inclination to think comprehensively the race welfare or even of his children's welfare. This, too, traces back to slavery. Now, why is the New York negro so much more of a deficient with respect to patronizing race enterprises than is his Houston brother? Is it not largely due to difference in environment? Would the Houston negro, or the southern negro be any better than the northern negro in this respect if he were not forced by surrounding circumstances to be so? After all, does he possess any more race pride and race loyalty than the northern negro? Isn't it a fact—a damning fact—that nine-tenths of the negro business enterprises in the south, including restaurants, would be forced to the wall if the white man were to relax in his prejudices and discriminations? Of course he's not going to do so, and we're not at all sorry that he's not. The rigor of this prejudice and discrimination and universal disdain toward the negro is developing in him many of those sterling virtues of which slavery robbed him—Dallas Express. We are glad that the Houston Negro is different from his New York brother. In New York when a Negro wants a glass of beer, he goes to a white saloon. If he is not properly treated in the first saloon he goes to another white saloon, and keeps it up until he finally gets a glass from a white saloon. There are Negro saloons in old New York, but they just manage to pay rent. The average northern negro will walk ten blocks out of his way to spend a dollar where he is not welcomed, and the well dressed fool will not patronize his own business, though it is next door to him.—The Houston Progress. The bright days are the ones we remember the longest. Wherever we read of a group of negroes elsewhere than in negro towns there is this trace of a disinclination on his part to do business with his own people. Always it is the desire to get away—away from the race in every way possible. Had not the white man set up innumerable barriers against us, there would be small hopes for us as a race. But by reason of those barriers we're turned back upon ourselves and in the phrase of Macbeth, "We're tied to the stake and bear-like must fight the course." It is said that one reason why Moses kept the children of Israel forty years in the wilderness was to bring about that race consciousness, race solidarity, which Egyptian slavery had effaced. Let us hope that one great purpose runs through all the ages. A college professor who can translate Greek, Syriac and read Sanscrit without spectacles nearly lost his life because he could not climb down a fire escape; yet some men still deny that higher education fits a man for action. There are some who contend that the life of the grapevine is longer than that of the oak. It is rare that a wild grapevine is found that has died of old age. Pliny mentions a vine 600 years old. There is a vine at Hampton Court, England, planted in 1769, while here in America there is a wild grapevine on the shores of Mobile bay, within a mile of Daphne, Ala., commonly known as the "General Jackson" vine, more than six feet in circumference at its base. There is a grapevine in Carpenteria, Cal., under which more than 800 persons may stand. Its trunk is eight feet in diameter at the base and it has borne as high as ten tons of fruit. It is said that this vine was planted in 1842. Boston frames a humiliating indictment against us. She calls her trolleys "pre-payment cars." When you can not think of anything else to do, think of how much you have to be thankful for. There are people who expect to step into heaven on the old shoes they send to the rummage sale. When we find out what God is able to do for us we know what he is willing to do. The man who will go out of his way to kick a dog isn't desired anywhere. Some while back (writes a Cairo, Egypt, correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette) it was announced that a little worm had been discovered which was a deadly enemy of the redoubtable cotton worm and invariably devoured it. Apropos of this the following is rather amusing: The editors of the Mokattam, hearing that specimens of this little pest had been found on their cotton estates, caused three of them to be sent to them in Cairo, so that the authorities might examine them. The specimens were sent off from Benha in a sealed box, which duly reached its destination intact. Judge of their asonishment when, on opening the box, only one specimen remained; there was absolutely no trace of the other two, so there could be but one conclusion—i.e. that the solitary inmate had eaten up his two companions. This was confirmed by the "post-mortem" examination, and now the question presents itself as to whether the alleged devourer of the cotton worm will, when bred in quantities, as the authorities intended to do, continue to show its "cannibal" tendencies and so defeat its own end, or whether it will afford the assistance to the cotton worm campaign which, before this little episode, the agricultural authorities claimed for and expected from it. We should like to see a picture of the man who can always please himself and his wife at the same time. Trees in watersheds have a beneficial effect, according to the last annual report of the board of water commissioners of Middleton, Conn., in which it is recommended that 46,725 trees be set out at Higby reservoir. The benefits to be derived from a growth of trees on the watershed of the reservoir are said to be the following: The roots of the trees hold the soil and to a great extent prevents its wash into the reservoir; the leaves and twigs that fall form a covering on the ground that protects the soil from the wash of the rainfall; they also absorb a large quantity of water and let it flow off gradually to the reservoir, thus continuing to be a benefit to a water supply for a long time and after a cleared land would be dry; the foliage of the trees forms a canopy which serves to lessen the effect of evaporation upon the surface of the ground. Success seldom comes to a man until late in the game. By the time he is in a position to get all the pie he wants he is a dyspeptic. The man that is always so anxious to avoid his own people in public places; the one that refuses to live in localities populated by his own color; the business man that neglects to patronize his colored brother who is in business, are all made to feel the snubs, insults and scorns of the white man he would ape, and made to plainly feel that so far as he (the white man) is concerned he has nothing for the black man other than to get his money at a great per cent of profit and a higher rate of interest and sometimes even his money is not wanted. "It is time that colored people stood together at all times on all issues and conditions. No one is fit to be called a man who is ashamed of his race. It is absolutely imperative that we stop and reason on the adage. "In union there is strength," and get together and stay together.—The Detroit Leader. What color would it not have given to my thoughts, and that thrice washed whiteness to my words, had I been fed on women's praises.—Oliver Wendell Holmes. In order to indicate to our brethren in the north what progress is being made in this neck of the woods, your correspondent desires to make it known that for three weeks in succession the Atlanta Constitution, the leading white daily paper in this section of the country, has devoted from four to eight pages to exhibiting the progress of our people in Atlanta and vicinity. The colored business concerns in Atlanta had large display advertisements in same paper. A man who is known to have broken many hearts is naturally invested with a tantalizing charm to women who have yet hearts to be broken.—Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen. Typhoid fever, it is estimated, costs Americans about $100,000,000 a year and no person who has had the disease will ever say it is worth the money.

ADAMS IS PRESIDENT ELECTED ON EIGHTEENTH BALLOT BY ONE MAJORITY. Six Republicans Break Senate Deadlock by Keeping Silent During Roll Call. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Senator William H. Adams of Conejos county was elected president pro tem of the Senate, and the deadlock which has existed in that body for seven days was broken. His election came after an afternoon of continuous balloting. It was made possible by a ruling of Lieutenant Governor Fitzgarrard that only a majority of those voting was requisite for the election of a president pro tem—and by the non-participation of six Republican senators in the voting. The six Republicans, by not voting, cut the total vote to 29; and Adams, by voting for himself, secured 15, the necessary majority under Mr. Fitzgarrald's ruling. The final vote was ont he 16th ballot of the day and the 18th of the session. It resulted as follows: Adams, 15; Blakey, 6; Lines, 4; Tobin, 1; Joyce, 1; Weiland, 1; Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson, 1. Those who voted for Adams are: Bellesfield, Berry, Burris, Garman, Hecker, Hilts, Joyce, Metz, Napier, Pearson, Sharpey, Tobin, Van Tilborg, West and Adams. Those who voted for Blakey, and with Blakey constituted the seven ultra-progressive Democrats against Adams, are: Affolter, Carver, Iles, Morris, Helen Ring Robinson and Tierney. Blakey voted for Tobin, giving Tobin the one accredited to him on the final count. The six Republicans who did not vote are: Barela, Cornforth, Hayden, MacArthur, Parrish and Tucker. Four Republicans, who were elected with Progressive party indorsements, maintained the position to which they had adhored from the first with the other Republicans and voted for Senator Lines. They are W. C. Robinson, Stephan, Weiland and Williams. Not voting for himself but participating in the voting, Senator Lines voted for Senator Weiland. Legislature Canvasses Vote. Denver,—E. P.

Usually one part of the country escapes what another part suffers, and the compliment is exchanged in succeeding seasons, but this time no part of the country, accustomed to wintry experiences seems to have been slighted by Boreas. Disturbances of the earth's atmosphere are supposed to be the causes of storms and extreme fluctuations of temperature, but what causes the disturbances of the atmosphere is among the unsolved theories of scientists. The comets may furnish some explanation in the present instance, but, if so, it has a pretty cold breath for a red-hot solar visitor. THE WANDERING MINSTREL. That faulty characteristic, altogether too common among Negroes, by which a person expects to "get by" without much regard for recognized standards of efficiency, is sure to come in for its full share of lambasting one of these days when the Negro's failures are being traced to their legitimate sources. A familiar sight in most large cities of the North is the seedy colored man, usually young, hurrying through the streets at morning or evening, with an air of great importance, and carrying in his hand or under arm a mandolin or guitar wrapped in a cloth cover or a canvas or pasteboard case, with no other feature particularly noticeable to mark him as a musical genius. His course may lead to some white saloon, where he is going to play and sing for a few nickels and a free lunch; or to some carelessly conducted barber shop where a band of idle Negro ear-musicians congregate; or to some third-class dancing place where the twang of strings is needed merely to mark time for shuffling feet. To a certain extent these wandering minstrels assume to represent the musical ability of the colored people, and, when the opportunity offers, do not hesitate to rush in as such representatives, where angels might fear to tread. The Negro race is said to be a musical race by nature, but a good many freaks take advantage of this assumption. They overlook the requirement for a thorough musical education to develop whatever genius nature may have supplied. The tendency to skip over the work necessary to fit one to fill the part he assumes, in a capable and masterly manner gives us a horde of musicians who would be capable of making a very poor living as such. If the Negro is going to develop his-musical genius, or any other genius he may have, he must learn that hard study and steady application of his effort to the science of his chosen calling are absolutely necessary to his permanent success. We do not think, as some people profess to think, that music is one of the great stepping stones to race development, but we do think that if we are going to have musicians at all, they should study music as other people study it, and not "pick it up." A makeshift individual never will make a thorough musician or anything else that is thorough. Money spent on him trying to overcome this impossibility will be wasted. A better idea of the world's standards of efficiency should be inculcated into our young people's minds, with the need to work and study and dig and fit one's self while young for the responsibilities that are sure to come as we get out into the world and its affairs, for without the ability to compare and compete with others, the Negro must make way for his betters, and fall back into the ranks of the wandering minstrels. The Right Kind of Reading Matter The home news; the doings of the people in this town; the gossip of our own community, that's the first kind of reading matter you want. It is more important, more interesting to you than that given by the paper or magazine from the outside world. It is the first reading matter you should buy. Each issue of this paper gives to you just what you will consider The Right Kind of Reading Matter IT MUST be admitted that there is a skillfully promoted and amply financed "movement" for curbing the ambition of the children of the poor. There is certainly no "movement" to vocationalize the children of the rich and cultured, and there is no public demand for specially vocationalizing the public schools for any class. Everything in that direction is artificial. An enterprising American city of 300,000 population has an elegant fourfold trade school for boys of fourteen and upwards, on which it is spending by state law about one-seventh as much as upon the education of the other tens of thousands of children, paying the expert trade school superintendent and providing him with specialized heads of the trades. The school superintendent, the school board, all the papers of the city, the employers and the labor unions are in sympathy with the experiment. It has had several years of enthusiastic promotion, but up to date they have never found one hundred boys for all of these school-shops in any year. About a fourth of these have to be told after a time that they can never learn the trade selected, and another fourth get tired of it early and drop out. There is slight prospect that they will ever graduate, as worthy and well qualified, fifty boys a year in all the shops for plumbing, carpentering, iron working and pattern making. The "movement" is interesting, but the demand is not a tidal wave. In a great industrial state a memorial trade school was established and attendance was promoted to the limit. It brought forth as applicants one lad who was willing to learn the bricklayer's trade, three consented to learn carpentering and some others would like to be electrical engineers. A man of vast wealth, believing that the "movement" was a demand, left a fortune for a marvelously complete technical institution, where they not only provide free tuition and free material but free board and clothes for four years, so that a young man can have a good trade wholly without expense, and the absence of any tremendous enthusiasm for learning the ordinary trades is interesting. Some years ago the "movement" was brilliantly (?) launched in Massachusetts by the appointment of an industrial education commission, upon which the state was seduced to expend about $100,000, and it promised to pay one-half of the entire expense of any sort of trade school or shadow thereof, by day or by night, and after an elaborate three years' campaign of speech making and banqueting prominent citizens and expensive lobbying in many cities and towns they did not succeed in starting anything anywhere with the suspicion of a trade idea in it. "Real causes?" Well, the time has not come to tell all that is known of the "real causes." They may fool all the people a little while, they can fool some people a long time, but I refuse to believe that they will fool all the people all the time. I am suspicious of the devotion to the children of the poor of any man, or of any interest that has been willing to sacrifice the children of the poor to the greed of mill and factory and has never had a voice to raise against the crime of child labor. It is said in private conferences and at the banquets of the elect that the children of the poor ought not to be allowed to choose for themselves the higher lines of industrial life. Straws' may not show where the "real causes" come from, and again they may. It was entirely easy under existing conditions to make this school a place to curb a poor boy's ambition. Here the "real causes" better men. It is a sham. In theaters one can notice the hysterical shouts of the horde when the flag is displayed. Is this patriotism? If young America were made to understand the lack of fair-mindedness, the prevalence of dishonesty, the brutal cruelty to which the aged are subjected, the nation-wide plundering of the people by some of their paid officers, if our boys could be made to see and abhor all American trickery, then, if these boys could be brought to work for a betterment of conditions, for the implanting of honesty, integrity and justice, such a patriotism would be worth-while. Let us work to that end and forget the fetichism demonstrated when the national anthem is sung. Let us first pledge our boys to work toward producing conditions of which every American shall have reason to be proud. Then let us uncover our heads to the flag that flies over such a country! the thing may be carried, but it is not visionary to prophesy that a new hand, a new foot, or even a new leg may be conferred on one who has lost a member. An employee of a railway company gets in an accident, his foot is smashed and it is necessary to amputate. Hidden away somewhere, let us say, is the foot of a felon who for some capital offense had suffered electrocution. The surgeon of the future will fit the preserved foot by proper attachments to the limb of the railroader, and in due course of time he will have as sound a pedal extremity as ever in his life.

It seems to me that we have enough of such meaningless, silly display of so-called patriotism. Unless the American boy has a good reason to be proud of his country, be it on account of the protection which the government affords its citizens as to life, property and liberty, or for other reasons, such a display must appear senseless.

Then let us uncover over such a country! Surgery already does things that to a past age would have seemed miracles, but there is ground for believing that still greater triumphs in that line are to come. The young French surgeon, Carel, has shown the possibilities of replacing lost portions of the human frame through his experiments on dumb animals, and some startling results have been attained. If these things are demonstrated in the case of brutes it is logical to assert they can be done with the human subject.

TOKEN OF ADMIRATION By JULIA CONWAY. It had always been the rule in the Crompton family for the children to share and share alike, but when pretty Claribel, the eldest, received the day after her sixteenth birthday a beautiful basket of bonbons, a token of the admiration of a youth whom she had met while visiting in the summer, she inwardly rebelled at the prospect of seeing the delicious sweets melt away like the dew before the sun. For the young Cromptons always made remarkably short work of a box of candy. "I speak for that big piece of candied pineapple," said Alice as the children gathered around Claribel to see the delectable package opened. "Can I have some o' them candied violets. Claribel?" asked small Joe. "No, you can't." Claribel quickly raised the basket beyond the reach of Joe's none too clean hand. "You can't have any, because you said, them' instead of those." "Well, I don't care if I did. You ate more'n half the taffy I bought with the nickel dad gave me for having my spelling paper right." "And it was the first time he ever got a perfect mark," chimed Helen. "Why, Claribel, aren't you going to let us have any of the candy? You shut down the basket lid with a regular forever bang." "Mayn't I have that pineapple to put in my lunch box?" asked Alice. "I guess if you had to take an old lunch to school every day the way, I do, you'd—" "No, Alice," returned Claribel with dignity. "I'm going to save this candy." "Save it!" exclaimed all the children. "What for?" demanded Carita. "You know I had the toothache yesterday and couldn't eat any of your birthday candy. I think I ought to have a lot of this." "And get the toothache again," scornfully remarked Claribel. "If you weren't such a baby about going to the dentist you could have your teeth fixed." "Well, what good would it do if you're always going to save your candy?" "I'm not always going to save it," replied Claribel in a tone of martyred patience, "but this is a very special basket of candy and I think if I don't want it all gobbled up the first minute I've a right to keep it. My sorority is going to meet here a week from next Saturday and I want to show all the girls this beautiful basket just as it is. Then I'll pass it around and you can all have some." "Yes, after the sorority girls have picked it all over," grumbled Alice. "Some day you may wish to join my sorority, Alice." Alice, being an aspirant for early election to her sister's sorority, looked somewhat chagrined and mentioned casually that it was time to be going to school. After the others were gone Claribel hastily looked about for a hiding place for her basket of candy. After a moment's desperate thought—for nothing was sacred in the house of Crompton—she flew into the library and secreted the candy with considerable satisfaction at her bright idea. "Where on earth did you put your candy?" asked Helen the next day. "Oh, were you looking for it?" "No, of course not, but I didn't see it anywhere and I just wondered where it was." "I suppose you all wondered." Claribel was smiling superior. "I just put it away." Joe, coming in from play on the Saturday of the sorority meeting, forced his way into the library against the advice of his young sisters, who warned him that Claribel would be angry if he went into the meeting, which was always very secret. "I don't care if it is a secret," declared Joe. "Claribel promised me some candied vilets today and I want 'em." "Joe, run right away," commanded Claribel as he entered the room. "You know you can't come to our meeting." "I don't want to come to your meeting. All I want is the candy you said I could—" "Oh, my basket of candy!" fairly shrieked Claribel. "It's all burned up." "Why, how can it be?" asked Alice, who had rushed in, having been listening at the door. "Where was it?" Claribel pointed at the fireplace. "I put it under the cedar boughs father brought in from the country to make the fireplace look pretty, and when the girls came today I thought how cheerful the fire would be and I lighted it and forgot all about the candy!" All her sisters, sorority and real, gathered sympathetically about the weeping Claribel, but Joe said, "I guess now you're sorry you didn't give me them candied vilets."

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street CAPITAL SAVED BY OTTOMAN BRAVERY Bulgar Plan of Advance Upset by the Stubborn Defense of Adrianople PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT THE WAR Uncensored Story by Frederick Palm- er Tells How Allies Met Their Match When the Turks Finally Were Aroused. By FREDERICK PALMER, Staff Corespondent of the Chicago Record-Herald in the Balkan War. Sen Catoae Mest aah ciate aes Ocean ee nett eae over the indistinct mass of Adriano- ple from the distant hills, then as substantial columns from the nearby hills, and again so close from the shellproof of an advanced infantry position that 1 could make out the Ulings on the dome of the great mosque itself. The simple grace of the minarets dominated town, and landscape, and siege. Weary drivers of the weary oxen of the transport and still wear- jer artillerymen, bringing up addi- tional guns through seas of’ mud, saw them for the first time as a token of defiance, of work unfinished, of bat- tles yet to be fought, and of lives yet to be lost. B Infantrymen in the advanced trenches saw them as the goal against a foe which had fallen back without any adequate rear guard sec- tion, but which had begun to fight desperately under their shadows. That Turkish garrison, as it with- drew into the shelter of its forts, seemed to find something of the spirit @ old Sultan Selim the, Magniticent, for whom the mosque ‘was named. but with this difference: Sultan Selim was not given to falling back on forts and minarets. He stormed forts; he went ahead to plant new minarets in the soil of Christendom. Rouses Old Turks’ Spirit From the first in this war the Turk took the defensive: from the first he acepted it as his part and portion of the campaign In Bulgaria, where many Turks still live under Christian rule, we had seen the Terrible Turk, the great fighting man of the past, whose soul was supposed to be above lowly toil, as a hewer of wood and a carrier of water. He did odd jobs in the ab- sence of the Bulgarian at the front. ‘The lion of the past had been trained to dog harness. All the early victories of the Bul- arian army completed an impression of a onetime lordly race demoralized und enervated, who retained only the fatalism of “Kismet,” in its lexocon, ‘The warrior's cry, “For Allah!” was lost forever, But at Adrianople “For Allah! For the Minarets! For the Padisha!” rose again to the dignity which abandoned bravery always com- mands. The sheer, impetuous. fearlessness of the Bulgarian, well drilled and coolly manipulated, was the first zreat revelation of the campaign, and the second was how, in the hour of hopelessness, his desperation arous- ed the old qualities of the Turk. Eyery situation, every development. in the war reverted to Adrianople, It was the nut to crack in the first plan of strategy of the campaign. It hov- ered over the first army before ‘Tehatalja as a nightmare. It stood in the way of the prompt supplies of bread and bullets for the first army; {t delayed the signing of the armis- tice for ten days; 1¢ has been the main subject of contention before the London peace conference; it was responsible for the treatment of the military attaches, who saw nothing of the war, and of the correspondents— who saw little, War Hinges on Adrianople. Even our phlegmatic little English- speaking censor assistant at Musta- pha would lose his temper at the very suggestion of any peace terms with Adrianople still in Turkish pos- session. “We shall have a revolution it we don't get Adrianople,” I have heard many officers say. “We ehall not go home without Adrianople,” the wounded soldiers returning from the front kept repeat- ing. Such were the instructions which Dr. Daneff, the Elihu Root of the Bal- kans, took with him to London. Ad- rianople was graven on the minds of his countrymen. By diplomacy he must get a fortress which was not yet taken by force of arms, Glance at a map and you will see that the whole success of the allies depended on bottling up the Turk on the peninsula, so that all the other ‘Turkish forces from Seutari to Adrl- anople, from Kumanova to Hassona, should be cut off from communtca- tion. The Greeks, Serbs, and Mon- tenegrins were the backs. The Bul- garlans undertook to buck the line. Bulgaria did not have to consider # reserve army. uropean public cpinion and the jealousies of the pow- ers acted as efficient substitutes, for the Bulgarian military statesmanship understood that if Bulgaria were peat- en the powers would never permit - Turkey to take an inch of Bulgarian soll. It was a case of “Heads I win, tails I don't lose.” The Turks knew this, too. It was “an old situation to them. Successtu ‘War meant no aggrandizement onl3 that no more territory would be taker from them, This {s enough, after some generations, to breed the defen sive instinct in any soldier. The Turk must have his back against the wall in order to fight well His attitude is that of the mad bul against the toreador; and a very mad bull, we know, sometimes gets a hort into the toreador’s anatomy and toss es him over the palings. This hap pened in a way at Adrianople. “Victory is to the heaviest bat talions,” Bonaparte said this, but aft er Caesar said it after some general of Egypt, Babylon or Nineveh. The allies knew that their success depended on speed in a fall campaign —speed and the shock of masses pour- ing over the frontier. Theirs was a hundred-yard-dash chance. The Serbs at Kumanova, their crit: ical battle, had odds of at least four to one. The Greeks never had less favor- able odds, usually much higher. As for the Montenegrins, who had a small show, what they did in one Way or another did not matter. They had work to keep them fully occu- pied, as it developed in the siege of Scutari. The only one of the allies who dis- dained modern organization, their fail- ure to make any headway again em- phasizes the wide difference between 4 body of men with rifles and an ac- tual army Bulgars Bear War's Brunt. So the Bulgarians took the great and telling work of the war on their shoulders. You have only to know the Bulgarians to understand that this was inevitable. There is stubborn and aggressive character enough in Bulgaria to spare for all southwestern Europe. Bulgaria made a hundred-yard dash with ox cart transportation, and made it around an obstacle—Adrianople. The main railroad line and the great Constantinople highway ran by Adri- anople. It was on the direct line of communication from the center of the Bulgarian base to the center of its objective. In the center of Thrace, it was the only real fortress on the way to Con- stantinople. Kirk-Killisseh, or Losen- grade, as the Bulgarians call it, de- spite their willingness to allow an im- pression of its formidalility to be spread abroad, was not in any sense wel fortified. Now, the first thing was to surround Adrianople; that is, to strike at it from all sides, as the key to the p@& sition. A branch of the main Sofia- Constantinople railroad line runs to Yamboli. With this as its base, Deme- trieff's, or the First, army swung TO cossats i aoe ae around Kirk-Kilisseh, which was tak- ea in the first splendid ardor of the campaign. With its fall anyone can see from a staff map that any battle line of defense with Adrianople as a part of it was impossible for a force of the numbers of the Turkish main army. ‘Two or three hundred thousand men who were homogeneous might have held on, but not half that num- ber when badly organized. —_There- fore, Nazim Pasha had to fall back to a new line and leave Adrianople to care for itself. Reveals Bulgar Courage. ‘The next step was the decisive bat tle on the line from Lule Burgas to Bunnarhissar. ‘There, again, superiority of num- ‘bers, as well as organization, count- ed; that superiority, which makes a heavy turning movement possible while the enemy’s front is engaged. In short, the Bulgarians had the Turks going. They gave the Turks no rest, and they had a sufficient nu- merical preponderance, in addition to the dependable courage of their in- fantry to guarantee success. So there was nothing wonderful about the strategy of the campaign, nothing new, nothing startling. The old principle of the swift turning movement had been applied to the sit: uation in hand. By the flank the Japanese kept put- ting the Russians back from the Yalu to Mukden. By the flank Grant pvt Lee back to Richmond. ‘There was just one, and only one, startling feature in this war—Bulgari- an courage. That enabled Demetrieff to gain at Kirk-Killisseh and Lule ‘Burgas in a hurry what with most arm{as would have required much more time, Demetrieff had willing flesh for a necessary sacrifice. He threw his in- fantry against frontal positions in a cloud, into shrapnel and automatic gun fire, without waiting to silence the enemy's batteries. roe nee eee eee ee Sas + LOD. would have seemed the storming of Adrianople. When peace negotiations should begin, it was a vital. point in their favor in the negotiations to have Adrianople in their possession, The Bulgarian treatment of the cor- respondents is one of the many in- dications that the Bulgarian staft did at one time expect to take Adrianople by storm, It was argued by serious corre- spondents who did not feel that they ought to waste their time or the money of their papers in idleness, that the Bulgarian government ought not to haye received any correspond- ents at all, But this was not logic to the government. ‘The press repre- sented public opinion. It could serve & purpose, and all the college profess- ors in the land who spoke any for- eign language found their work in the common cause, no less than grandfa- ther found his in driving an ox cart and the women in making bread. The plan was well thought out, and the regulations, which would fill a column, left nothing that occurred to officers or college professors out of consideration. No mention was to be made of the wounded, nor even of the weather, if it were bad, for bad weath- er might tell the enemy that the roads wore bad. While many an imaginary account, because it had the similitude of nar- rative which characterizes all con- vincing fiction, was hailed as real war correspondence, the Bulgarian staff, when it came to actual reports of actions (exclusive of massacres), was serupulously exact and exasperat- ingly late and brief. All praise by the press kept the ball of the prestige of victory rolling. It helped to convince the powers and the Turk that the Bulgarian army was irresistible. The stage climax of the whole campaign would be the fall of Adrianople. Therefore were the correspondents moved to Musta pha Pasha just as Lule Burgas was being won; and Constantinople, being then supposedly defended only by a demoralized army, which could not make a stand, every report from Mus- tapha Pasha which showed that Adrianople was on the point of capit- ‘ulation added to the stage effect ot ‘Bulgarian triumph, Turks Defy the Bulgars. As the first Bulgarian army drew hear the Tchafalja lines, the mise en scene was complete; but Nazim Pasha, making use of the elapsed time | to fortify the Tehatalja Ines, rather than submit to the humiliating terms offered, bade the Bulgarian hosts “come on.” Success had turned the heads even of the Bulgarian staf. ‘They had be- gun to think that the old fighting qual ity was out of the Turk, and so willing was the Bulgarian infantry to under- go slaughter that it was only a case of recording another charge of flesh against shrapnel and automatie gun fire, and the day was won, Alas, an old principle of war, deal- Ing with an impossibility of the same order as squaring the circle in math- ematics, was now to bring generalship back from the clouds to solid earth. You can take strong positions in front only with time by sapping and mining and all the weary operations of a siege, as the indomitable Grant learned by the failure of his firsh rush at Vicksburg and the indomitable Nogi learned by the failure of the first rush attack at Port Arthur, In a week, any army that has spades and a few of the resources of material which should be part of the storehouse at its base should make such a position as that of the series of rising hills back of Tehatalja fully tenable against any but siege attack, unless there was room for a flank at- tack. Turks Turn the Tables. And the breadth of the position open to infantry approach in any at- tempt at storming was only 16 miles, while from either sea side of the nar- row strip of peninsula the Turkish navy could bring into play more pow- erful guns than any Demetrieff had at his disposal At the same time there is to be kept in view the generally accepted tenet that you must not send in- fantry against any well entrenched po- sition «antil its batteries are silenced [or {t {8 known that they can be kept under control during the infantry at- tack by a well concentrated fire of your own batteries, Demetrieft used his guns for a day ‘n trying to develop the strength and location of the enemy’s batteries. But the Turks would not be drawn. At last the tables were turned. Meanwhile Adrianople also was tell- ing.

It was Papastepe and Kartaltepe which wakened Ivanoff from his dream of a final brilliant stroke in keeping with the earlier ones of the war, just as Tebatalia brought Demetrieft down from tho clouds of overconfidence. Papastepe is one of many hills in the narrowing rib of the 203 Meter Hill of the siege. With guns in position there, Adrianople would be under bombardment. ‘The Bulgarians took it by sending in the usual cloud of in- fantry and losing about a thousand men. But the Turks took it back again. Four times, Iam told, it changed hands in the course of those night actions which we observed only by the brilliant flashes in the sky above the hills. Far up the valley in the mist was Kartaltepe, that other important hill which commanded the river bottom of the Arda, We took Kartaltepe in No- vember and a month afterward, in one of their splendid sorties, the Turks, so far as I could learn, had taken it back; but it was as untenable for them as Papastepe was for the Bul- garians. Possibly because it was again ours and very evidently ours perma- nently, the Bulgarian censors had found it worth while to confound skepticism and persistent unfriendly ‘rumors by allowing the correspon- ‘dents to enter the promised land of their dreams, where for weeks, be- tween the batteries on the hills and the infantry in the muddy river bot- tom of the Arda, hell kad raged in the winter rains. We did not know then, as we were to know a few days later, that beyond Kartaltepe in the direction of Dele- gatch was another force isolated from the Adrianople garrison and the main Turkish army, that of Taver Pasha with 10,000 men, caught in the literal flood of that 100-yard dash of the ready, informed, prepared aggressor against the unready enemy taken un- aware and hastening re-enforcements to the scattered garrisons and trying to adjust itself for the blow to fall with the crash of a pile driver releas. ed from its clutch, Discloses War Secret. But Taver Pasha’s 10,000 were still a force in being, with guns and full equipment—a force in a box; a force | in desperation. Do you see the Adrianople garrison (which was in touch by wireless with the Turkish main army) striking out to connect up with Taver Pasha? Do you see Taver Pasha trying out lines of least resistance in a savage effort to reach Adrianople or the main Tur. kish army? : Something to stir the blood, this, in the way of a war drama, while not a single foreign correspondent or at- tache knew even of the existence of Taver Pasha’s command until its sur- render, : ‘The news of this was conveyed with the official assurance that now no oth- ér Turkish foree except that of Adri | anople remained in Thrace, when we had been under the impression for over a month that it was the only one! ‘The censors did not smile as they posted the bulletin, but some of the correspondents smiled—at them selves. No, after the first rainbow hope of a successful general attack was over, Ivanoff was fully occupied in holding Adriandple safely in slege. ‘That bat- tery of old Krupps, which fired over the advanced Servian Infantry _posi- tion, while a battery of Creusots in turn fired over it, added their items of evidence to the same end. These Krupps were taken by the Russians at Plevna in the war of 1877- 78 and given to the Ittle army of the new nation of Bulgaria. Bulgarian re- eruits had dragged them through the muddy roads and over the pastures and beautifully emplaced them, and were working them against the enemy with boyish pride. But the world was thinking only of the modern Creusots and their brilliant showing. ‘The Bulgarians almost proved that you can make bricks without straw. ‘They won the war by the bravery of their self-confidence as well as by their courage, Adrianople, which was about to starve if it did not fall, had, Iam con- vinced, two months’ supplies when the armistice was signed. With the 19 and 20-year-old conscripts already on the way tothe front, with a casualty list that ts easily one-fifth of the whole army, there was no sign of weakening. The square chin of the stoical Bul- gwarlan was as firmly set as ever.

Uncle Sam's Banking System Not Self- Supporting and Federal Appropriation May Be Necessary—Claimed American System Simplified. Washington.—The postal savings system of the government is not paying expenses. After something more than a year of operation, this government venture gives indication of needing a Federal appropriation to make it come out even. Its hope of independence lies in the future. Theodore L. Weed, director of the postal savings system, thinks the system will be self- supporting when the deposits aggregate $100,000,000. The deposits now aggregate close to $28,000,000. One of the important questions about the inauguration of any new government service, especially one which is more or less paternalistic in nature, is whether it is likely to become a burden upon the federal treasury. The attempt of the responsible officials, like Mr. Weed, has undoubtedly been to establish a postal savings system which may be conducted with reasonable economy. It is claimed, for instance, that the American system has been greatly simplified by the elimination of pass books. However economically the system may be conducted, it is not difficult to perceive the certainty of a deficit, at least for the immediate future. The entire income of the postoffice department from the postal savings system is derived from the $2\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. inter- M. B. Theodore L. Weed. est paid by the banks upon deposits of funds. Of all the funds deposited with the postoffice department, 95 per cent is turned over to the banks; 5 per cent is kept as a working balance. The government pays individual depositors 2 per cent. interest. The net income of the department is thus a little less than one-half of 1 per cent. of the total deposits. Upon the present aggregate deposits of $28,000,000, therefore, the government's net income is less than $140,000. This net income is doubtless more than consumed by the clerical force employed in this city. The average salaries of government clerks is in excess of $1,000 a year, and it is safe to say that the salaries paid to Washington employees in the postal savings system are upwards of $160,000 in the aggregate, which, in itself, creates an aparent deficit of a little more than $20,000 a year. Probably other charges ought in fairness to be made against the postal savings system. Great expense is involved in producing the necessary stamps and certificates. That the postal savings system has met a public need there can be no question. The deposits continue to grow at the rate of 6 to 8 per cent. a month, at which rate it will not be many years before the aggregate on deposit will exceed $100,000,000—the figure at which the system is supposed to become self-supporting. The history of such government enterprises, however, is that the expense increases unexpectedly, and it is open to question whether, upon the present income, the postal savings system can ever become self-supporting. Temperature Among the records of the hydrographic office in Washington are some five and one-half millions of memoranda of the temperature of sea water in all parts of the world and at all seasons. They have been noted and sent in by mariners for the last 60 years. Twice as many such notes are stored in Hamburg, besides millions elsewhere. The tabulation of them, supplemented by observations of a more scientific sort upon temperatures at various depths, have been of decided value to navigation as well as of theoretic interest. The comparative warmth, as well as the onward flow of the Gulf stream, was noted by some of the earliest voyagers to this side of the Atlantic; and the restless curiosity of Benjamin Franklin led him to make as careful observations upon it on his trips to and from Europe as his means permitted. His common sense saw how helpful this current might be to ships, and he urged captains to use the thermometer to ascertain when they reached it and to enable them to keep within its influence when going east or to steer clear of it in coming west. Lieutenant Maury, who was the founder of hydrographic science, used such temperature memoranda as were available in his examination of ocean currents. By following his directions shipmasters of half a century ago shortened the voyage between North America and England by ten days, that from New York to California by about 45 days, and that from England to Australia and back by two months. Helland Hansen, the Norwegian geographer, declares that the profit from the use of Maury's charts by British owners on the East India route alone amounted to $10,000,000 yearly. Latterly the usefulness of the thermometer in indicating the neighborhood of ice has been emphasized, among mariners.—Harper's Weekly. Woman's Power at Washington Shown in Many Ways Only those who have given the subject close consideration and have been familiar with it personally can have even a remote idea of the power of the women connected with a presidential administration, meaning the wives of the president, vice-president and the cabinet officers. This power of the women first began to be marked in President Andrew Jackson's time and it has continued almost unabated up to the present hour. It is an unseen power. It is not proclaimed from the house tops. It contributed, according to the best au thorties, to the downfall of Benjamin Harrison's administration. It takes some time for the wives of the cabinet officers to reach a fair footing with the wives of the president and vice-president and among themselves. They come from different sections of the country and must accustom themselves to a vastly different environment, the official life of Washington. In a thousand little ways and in as many big ways they can make or mar, help or hurt, hasten or retard the policy of a president's administration. They raised old hob in Jackson's time by attempting to boycott the wife of a cabinet officer, Mrs. Eaton; but Old Hickory, though not a ladies' man himself, stood vallantly and gallantly beside Mr. and Mrs. Eaton and declared that the wives of his other cabinet officers shouldn't rule his administration—"No, not by the Eternal!" Jackson's favorite phrase in negativing a proposition. Coal Supply to Last Thousands of Years. The known coal fields of the United States embrace a total area, according to the United States geological survey, about 32,000 square miles, to which may be added something more than 160,000 square miles of which little is known, but which may contain workable coal, and about 32,000 square miles where the coal lies under heavy cover, and is not considered available under present conditions. The supply of coal before mining began is estimated to have been 3,076,204,000,000 short tons, of which 1,922,979,000,000 tons were believed to be easily accessible and 1,153,225,000,000 short tons to be either so deep or the beds so thin that they are accessible only with difficulty. Classified according to the character of the coal, the original supply consisted of 21,000,000,000 short tons of anthracite, 1,661,457,000,000 tons of bituminous coal, 650,157,000,000 tons of bituminous coal and 743,580,000,000 tons of lignite, the supply of bituminous coal being somewhat more than that of all other grades combined. The total production of coal to the close of 1911 has amounted to 2,270,798,737 short tons of anthracite and 6,468,773,690 tons of bituminous coal, or an aggregate of 68,739,572,427 tons This total production to the close of 1911 represents, including the waste of coal mining, an exhaustion of the beds equal to 14,181,980,000 short tons, or something less than 0.5 per cent. of the original supply. In other words, the quantity of coal still remaining to be mined amounts to 3,062,022,020,000 short tons, or a little more than 99.5 per cent. of the original supply. The annual rate of exhaustion at the present time as represented by the production in 1910 and 1911 is 0.25 per cent. of the supply. The quantity of coal still in the ground at the close of 1910 was 6,000 times the production of that year, or, estimating a half ton of coal lost for every ton recovered, the supply is equivalent to 4,000 times the present annual rate of exhaustion. Government Printing Office Issues Big "Check List." What is declared by literary experts to be one of the most remarkable documents ever published by the government has just been issued by the government printing office. The publication, known as the "Check List," records every publication of the government from its foundation down to and including 1909. The work is a voluminous document and contains more than 1,800 pages. Approximately fifteen years were required in its preparation. The work was done by Miss Mary A. Hartwell an assistant to August Donah, superintendent of documents. The "Check List" will be placed in every important library in the United States. MOST INTIMATE ROOM MOST INTIMATE ROOM SOME INTERESTING FEATURES OF PRESIDENTIAL DEN. Apartment Which Has Been Added to Private Suite on the Second Floor of White House May Be Called Most Characteristic. During the past decade a new factor has appeared and gradually grown to importance in the domestic life of the presidential household through the provision at the White House at Washington of what is, to all intents and purposes, a new room. This apartment, which has been added to the private suite on the second floor of the historic mansion, is the domestic life of the presidential household through the provision at the White House at Washington of what is, to all intents and purposes, a new room. This apartment, which has been added to the private suite on the second floor of the historic mansion, is the president's study or "den," a room which may perhaps be called the most characteristic in the executive mansion—the nook most intimately identified with the activities of the chief magistrate in his various capacities. At the White House, not only the state parlors, but most of the chambers as well, barely reflect the taste of the professional decorator and are furnished with articles chiefly interesting because of their historical associations. But in the president's "den," as is befitting, the contents of the room and their arrangement are expressive of the personality and individuality of the distinguished occupant. The room serves the dual purpose of a retreat and a workroom—a haven where the president may seek the solitude that is a rare boon to one in his position and a study where, when occasion demands, there is opportunity for concentration and uninterrupted work. And, as vehicles of research or relaxation, there are thousands of books in the low shelves that line the walls, although this study is not to be confused with the White House library, the adjoining room. The presidential "den" is located directly over the green parlor and is of the same dimensions. From the time of President Johnson until the year 1902, this room was used as the cabinet room and in the then council chamber of the president's official family was signed the treaty of peace with Spain—an event that is commemorated by Chartran's splendid painting which now hangs in the most prominent place in the room. When the White House was remodeled during the administration of President Roosevelt, it was at first proposed that this room, like the others that had been used for executive office purposes, should be converted into a bedroom or guest chamber, but in the end it was decided to utilize it as a study or "den," in which function it has been used by Presidents Roosevelt and Taft with ever increasing appreciation of its advantages. Beneath a window, that commands an inspiring view of the White House grounds, the Washington monument and the Potomac beyond, stands the desk where the president performs much of his most important work. This desk was presented to the nation by the late Queen Victoria and was made from the timbers of her majesty's ship Resolute, which, after having been abandoned in the Arctic in the search of Sir John Franklin, in the year 1852, was discovered and extricated by the captain of an American whaler and was later sent to England as a gift to the queen by the president and people of the United States. The desk set, a gift from Alaska, is a decided novelty, a walrus tooth serving as the base for figures in solid gold. Although nothing could be farther from intention than that the president's own room should savor of a museum, there are several articles in the "den" that, in addition to the desk, have historic significance. The old cabinet table has been retained and now serves to accommodate the overflow of books and current magazines. Over the white marble mantel, which was installed when this room was remodeled, hangs a full length painting of George Washington by a Spanish artist, which was sent as a gift to the nation from Ecuador, and in a glass case directly above the president's desk is the exquisite jeweled silk rug which was presented to the White House a few years since by the Persian government. The wall space at one end of the room is given over to the president's own silk copy of the special presidential flag, which is unfurled upon certain ceremonial occasions, if the president be present. Has Sense of Humor. President-elect Woodrow Wilson has a sense of humor; at least, it is said that he is devoted to limericks, and that is supposed to indicate a high sense of humor. He cannot be called a howling beauty, and this must be so, for he recognized it himself, and here is a limerick which he wrote himself: "As a beauty I am not a star; . There are others more handsome by far. "But my face, I don't mind it. For I am behind it— The people in front get the jar." Gets Big Legacy. It has been announced that the American university of this city is to receive from the late Rev Dr. David H. Carroll, of Baltimore, Md., a legacy of $400,000. HISTORIC CHAIRS IN MUSEUM Exhibit of Early American Furniture Lent by Dr. Allan Hamilton of New York. Among the historical collections of furniture there are in the National Museum four old chairs which have been lent by Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, of New York, grandson of Alex- ander Hamilton. They are early American chairs, and are of especial interest on account of their peculiar antique style and their history. They were owned during the war of The Revolution by Maj. Gen. Phil Schuyler, of the Continental army, who bequeathed them to his daughter, Elizabeth, the wife of Alexander Hamilton Two of the chairs are of dark wood, like cherry, built simply on the slender and graceful lines of the Revolutionary period, and upholstered in a red figured tapestry which is thought to be of a more recent date than the chairs themselves. Both are alike, being lightweight armchairs with rather wide seats. The other two, which were the property of Hamilton himself, are a little larger, but identical in appearance, and are of carved walnut, and of fairly solid construction, with up holstered backs and seats, and odd pin-cushion-like pads on the horizontal part of each arm, all being covered with a gray-figured cloth. As to the exact age of these relics, it is hardly possible to judge, but they must be in the neighborhood of 150 or 175 years old, although they are still in very good condition, and would do credit to any colonial drawing room. They are now on display in a separate case in the hall of history of the old building of the National Museum. GOT A FREE RIDE—NOT HOME Society Woman Arrested for Refusing to Pay Cab Hire Lands at Police Station. A young woman, said to be a social favorite, had the novel experience a few nights ago of riding in a patrol wagon and being cared for by a physician at a police station following her arrest for refusing to pay for taxicab hire. She was detained in charge of a police matron for several hours, and was released when her husband called and deposited ten dollars collateral for her appearance in the police court. She told the police her name was Mrs. Caroline Smith and named a Pennsylvania avenue hotel as her residence. The police learned, however, that Smith was not her name and that she does not live at the hotel in question. The chauffeur said she had refused to pay for the hire of the machine, which amounted to about ten dollars. The charge of refusing to pay cab hire was placed opposite her name. During the conversation with the police, it is stated, "Mrs. Smith" said she had dined at a cafe with a friend of the family, and said she later became ill. She did not have ten dollars with her and it was therefore necessary for her to remain in custody until her husband called and deposited that sum. FRESH AIR CRUSADE NOW ON Experimental Open-Air Class Has Been Established at One of Capital's Public Schools. The fresh air crusade that has found its way into the public schools of the country is now to bring Washington to a place beside those other large cities possessing open-air schools. Quite recently, as an experiment that is expected to bear practical results, an open-air class was established in the Stevens school. Through the school fund of the Associated Charities, obtained by the collection of a Thanksgiving offering of the school children, blankets and other necessities have been provided. To Dr. Arthur L. Murray of the District health department falls the work of investigation. Examinations of the children and tests of their heart, lungs, etc., have already been made, and though Dr. Murray has found it a little too soon to make comparisons and determine in actual figures the gain made in weight and in general physical improvement, the faces of the children are beginning to fill out, and further steps are being taken to perfect this method. HOW TO AVOID BEING A BORE Carefully Shun the Four D's—Disease, Descendants, Domestics and Dress —Mrs. Wickersham. Washington belles and beaux are practicing Mrs. George W. Wickersham's rules for avoiding conversational reefs upon which the social bore is wrecked. Mrs. Wickersham is the wife of the attorney general of the United States and she is one of the most diverting women in official society. "You'll never be a bore," says Mrs. Wickersham, "if you carefully avoid the four D's—disease, descendants, domestics and dress. The first does away with 'organ recitals.' The second eliminates the baby, no matter how cute he is, and one's forbears, no matter how distinguished they were. The third removes Bridget and all her works. The fourth puts the dessmaker and the tailor man out of the running." Mrs. Wickersham's little "conversational code" was propounded at a recent White House dinner, and everybody nowadays is dropping d's. $250,000 ASKED FOR COMMISSION PRESIDENT WANTS CONGRESS TO FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOR ECONOMY. POINTS TO GOOD WORK SAYS IF RECOMMENDATIONS ARE FOLLOWED, GREAT SAVING WILL RESULT. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—Congress was asked to appropriate $250,000 for continuing the investigation of the commission on economy and efficiency into the executive departments of the government in a special message by President Taft. The President points out that "there is no greater service that can be rendered to the country than that of continuance of the work of the commission until some form of organization is provided for continuously doing this kind of work under the executive." The President expresses the opinion that the technique and procedure of every branch and office of the government should be submitted to the same painstaking examination as that given those on which reports have been made. To do this, however, President Taft says that ample funds must be provided and he asks that Congress make the $250,000 appropriation by March 4th for the incoming President. "In my opinion," says the President, "this is not a matter in which the Congress should assume that public money will be unwisely spent. At a total cost of about $230,000 during the twenty-one months covered by the work of the commission, facts have been developed and recommendations have been made that if followed up will result in saving of millions of dollars each year." The report of the commission contains a description of 110 subjects, the result of twenty-one months of work The changes recommended by the commission carry definite estimates of a yearly saving of several millions of dollars. WITHDRAWS FROM ADRIATIC. Sir Edward Grey Has Asked That Adrianople Remain Turkish. London.—The Servian government has decided to withdraw from the Adriatic Sea. This action is regarded in all quarters as a notable step in the direction of peace. Constantinople.—Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign minister, has submitted to the powers a proposal preserving Adrianople to Turkey, according to a statement made here. The retention of the city will be subject to the dismantling of the fortifications and sundry economic restrictions. It is understood that the proposal stands a good chance of acceptance. Hundreds Flee From Ohio Flood. Pittsburg, Pa.—Portions of western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia are facing a serious flood situation owing to a steady and rapid rise of the various rivers and small streams. A wide area of lowlands is under water. Hundreds of persons have been driven from their homes, many buildings are partly flooded, a number of transportation companies are crippled and several thousand men employed in industries in the flood zone have been thrown out of work. Colorado's Death List. Denver.—Three is the death toll of Colorado's cold snap. The victims are: Mrs. Mary Digney, aged 75, found frozen to death in bed at her home in Georgetown. George Rule, a farmer south of Pueblo, found frozen to death under railroad trestle from which he had fallen, breaking both legs. Daniel Dorsey, aged 50, miner, died at Denver county hospital of exposure. Boy, 19. Marries Stepmother, 22. Boy, 19, Marries Stepmother, 22. Roswell, N. M.—The formality of the written consent of a special guardian had to be resorted to before county officials would license Hedrick Armstrong, 19 years old, to wed Mrs. Martha Margaret Armstrong, his step mother, 22 years old. The husband-father has been dead about six months. Pioneer Woman Frozen to Death. Georgetown.—Mrs. Mary Digney, 75, a resident of Georgetown for nearly forty years, was found dead in her home in the east part of town. Appoint "Reform" Marshal. Chevenne, Wyo—W. J.

THE FASHION OF THE TIME Florida winter resorts will have the first of the new taffeta water repellent beach suits. After a dip in the surf the suit will remain crisp and fresh. A cap of the same material tied with a taffeta ribbon completes this stunning bathing costume. INDOOR PLANTS NEED CARE SHOWING CONTRAST IN FURS Florida winter resorts will have the pellet beach suits. After a dip in the fresh. A cap of the same material ti stunning bathing costume. INDOOR PLANTS NEED CARE Many Will Do Well in Gas-Lighted Rooms if They Are Judiciously Selected and Tended. One of the great secrets in the successful cultivation of plants in rooms is judgment in selecting the right kinds, as an experiment will soon show, will do well in gas-lighted or drafty rooms, others will not; so it is most essential that care should be exercised in choosing kinds adapted to both purposes. Those who have the good fortune to have their rooms lighted by electricity need not worry, because all kinds of plants will succeed under the latter conditions. The best of all plants to grow in gas-lighted rooms are the parlor palms. There are two distinct kinds of these, one which produces very tall leaves and another of the dwarf growth. If carefully watered and their leaves sponged at least once a week, they will thrive for years. Another excellent plant to grow under similar conditions is the fig-leaf palm, or so-called "castor-oil plant." This has giant ivy-like green leaves, which radiate from a central stem and form a handsome plant. As it increases in age it is, however, apt to lose its lower leaves, and hence some of its beauty. The "india-rubber" plant, a brother of the fig tree, is another plant which is admirably adapted for gas-lighted rooms. The plant usually grows with a single main stem, and if well cared for will in a few years attain a height of five feet or six feet. When it becomes too tall the upper part can be clipped. Combining Two Lace Gowns. A remarkable costume consists of two superposed, one in white lace, the other a black, the latter the uppermost, but so filmsy and delicate of mesh that the pattern even of the white lace beneath can easily be seen. The only relief to this gown is an immense rose with silk petals in a deep orange shade, with a large spray of block foliage. Brown seems gradually coming into fashion again, and a dress of liberty satin in a bright tone of this useful color seen recently was almost entirely veiled with a black lace draped coat. On that portion of the bodice seen in front there was an embroidery in full pale blue and greens, forming wheels, and here and there was a slight touch of black and white. Decollete Shoe. An interesting freak of fashion is the decollete shoe. Many Parisian elegantes are wearing what would seem a perfectly ridiculous shoe for this time of the year, a court shape with a mere two or three inches of vamp, which, of course, reveals any amount of stocking, matching either the frock, the furs or some other accessory of the scheme Hook Hint Try putting hooks on the lower side of a dress-opening, and the eyes on the upper side. When the dress is ironed no "hookmarks" will show, as often happens when hooks and eyes are put on in the old-fashioned way. This works splendidly, writes a contributor to Needlecraft. Ermine and Skunk Combined in One of the Most Fetching of the Winter's Styles. The graceful stole cleverly combines and contrasts snowy tailless ermine and dark skunk worked in strands in the way which gives such special soft- Y ness and beauty to this most durable of furs. The muff is, on the other hand, entirely carried out in the ermine, but also gains variety of effect by the introduction of the little tails and heads into the bordering band, while the great bow of velvet ribbon, with its central paste ornament, is a further addition, which is strikingly smart, as well as novel. Pendants of All Kinds Pendants are the ornaments of the moment and come in every imaginable grade of stone, from the most garish artificial bits set in poor gilt to the semi-precious stones, combined with diamonds. About the most excellent are the semi-precious stones set either in gold or silver. Their cost varies with the worth of the stone, and its setting is secondary. Abilone shell "blister" are very pretty and in good taste, for their price has been kept up. PHONE MAIN 6123—Day or Night RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 1669. PARLORS, 1830 ARAPAHOE ST.
