LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY JANE ADAMS DEFENDS THE NEGROES Opposes The Idea That Since The Negro Has Been Freed From There Is Nothing More To Do About It. VOL. XIX. JANE AND DEFEND N Opposes The Idea That Since The There Is Nothing M Miss Jane Addams, head of Hull House, wrote an article for the Survey which has caused a great deal of comment in this section. The subject was "Has the Emancipation Act Been Nullified by National Indifference?" and protests strongly against the growth of the race prejudice in the United States and the denial of political equality to the Negro. The growth of this prejudice is largely due, she asserts, to the popular notion that since "slavery" has been put down there is nothing more to do about it. The present generation, she contends, seems far less sensitive to the hardships placed upon the colored race and the discriminations leveled against it than was the generation which saw the thing vividly through the conflict of the civil war and the sufferings of the reconstruction days. Through a false pride a large element in the white South is taking a lower ethical tone on the Negro question than it needs to take; and through indifference the white North threatens to do the same. She says: "What has been and is being lost by the denial of opportunity and of free expression on the part of the Negro it is now very difficult to estimate; only faint suggestions of the waste can be perceived. "There is, without doubt, the sense of humor, unique and spontaneous, so different from the wit of the Yankee or the inimitable story telling prized in the South; the Negro melodies, which are the only American folk songs; the persistent love of color expressing itself in the bright curtains and window boxes in the dullest and grayest parts of our cities; the executive and organizing capacity so often exhibited by the head waiter in a huge hotel or by the colored woman who administered a complicated household; the gift of eloquence, the mellowed voice, the use of rhythm and osomatopoeia which is now so often travesties in a grotesque use of long words." MEANS LOSS OF CAPACITY She continues: "Much more could be added to the list of positive losses suffered by the community which puts so --- many of its own members "behind the veil." It means an enormous loss of capacity to the nation when great ranges of human life are hedged about with antagonism. "We forget that whatever is spontaneous in a people, in an inindividual, a class or a nation, is always a source of life, a wellspring of refreshment to a jaded civilization To continually suspect, suppress and to fear any large group in a community must finally result in a loss of enthusiasm for type of government which gives fair play to the self-determination of a majority of its citizens. "Must we admit that the old abolitionist arguments now seem flat and stale; that, because we are no longer stirred to remove fetters, to prevent cruelty, to lead the humblest to the banquet of civilization, therefore we are ready to eliminate the conception of right and wrong from political affairs and to substitute the base doctrine of 'political necessity and reasons of state'?" The issue of the Survey in which this article appears is devoted to a distinguished symposium on the Negro question. Professor George Burman Foster of the University of Chicago, writes on "The Status and Vocation of our Colored People"; George Edmund Hayes, director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes discusses "The Basis of Race Adjustment"; W. E. B. DuBoise, editor of The Crisis, writes on Social Efforts of Emancipation"; Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, on "Our Country's Lynching Record"; Miss Sophonisba P. Breckinridge, on "The Color Line in the Housing Problem." Perhaps the most "militant" article in the series is the last one. George Parkard of the Chicago bar in an article entitled "A Civic Problem and a Social Duty," contends that the disfranchisement of the Negro and the robbery of his civil and political rights is in violation of the Constitution and makes out of what is at best a difficult problem a real menace to our institutions. He says in conclusion: CAPABLE OF USEFULNESS "The Negro race as whole is cap- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15 1913. State Hist & Nat Hist Biosoc State House HANTS WH ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO able of as fine and useful a place in our citizenship as that enjoyed by any other alien element. His sunny nature; his extraordinary imitative powers, that are as capable of good direction as of bad; his adaptability, his courage, his physical strength, are all characteristics that must be welded into our civilization. "How, then, are we to go about the eradication of the prejudice? It is a matter primarily of individual effort, of the exercise of moral force. The logic of the situation must be brought home to each and all. We must give the Negro whether we like him or not, a square deal. We must bring to bear the light of reason into the darkness of the self-stultification that engulfs our attitude. DIFFERS AS OTHER RACES "I hold no brief for the Negro as an unworthy individual. Many of the race are diseased, degraded, lazy, ignorant, brutish; many are intelligent, able, refined and self-respecting people, who have adopted our ways and customs with far greater perfection and facility than many other races who are received by us with open arms. These individual differences are of course true of all races—even our own. "For two hundred and fifty years the colored race has been systematically denied its rights as men and citizens. If we reform our social attitude toward them—which is the only way on earth—and eliminate the curse of race prejudice, we can look to the Negro to take care of himself. Let us then, as reasonable beings, take this first step, by influence, example, common sense and ceaseless agitation, to rid our country of this social and political disgrace. The cause possesses a moral basis of transcendent import, and is bound on that account to triumph in the end. The integrity of our institutions, the welfare of our political state, the trampled rights of a wronged people, cry out for justice."—Chicago Evening Post. LOOK TO THE INSIDE. (From Dallas Express) As the days go by the need of the colored man making his business venture a success is more and more apparent. Everywhere and on every hand the positions once open to him as laborer are being closed. The wealthy white man and business concern are turning more and more with each succeeding day, to the men of modest wealth of their own blood for the labor to man their enterprises. Without going into the question as to why this is true it is enough for thoughtful men to know that it is a fact, and to turn their attention to the remedy. The remedy is two-fold. First, the proprietors of colored places, must not depend on color for success. Their places must be kept clean, their stocks modern and their help obliging and polite. Loafers and hangers-on must be cut off and routed. The prices must be nearly as possible be made to conform to the ordinary market. The other remedy lies in the colored people who are not in business. They must speedily come to know that they are the hope of the Negro who has invested his money in ninety-nine cases in a hundred. They must also be brought to understand that their children's only hope of employment beyond "hewing wood and drawing water," lies in the success of the colored business and professional man. Go where you will among the stores, factories, offices and agencies operated by the white man and you will fine no place for the Negro except that of servant. This is his unalterable program and it is exactly the size of the earth—exactly as long as time. It is useless to plan any inroad upon it. The possibility of changing it admits not even of discussion. There is but one hope for the Negro who desires to see his son or daughter rise above the estate of a menial, and that is to own the enterprise which can give the position. It is up to him. The world awaits an answer. As we see it, self-help is the panacea for his industrial and financial ills. Let us be assured that no man can rise higher than he can rise by pulling on his own bootstraps. IN FEAR OF RACE OUTBREAK Evansville, Ind., Feb. 9.—Hundreds of whites and Negroes went to the morgue today to see the bodies of the three Negroes shot down yesterday by Allen von Behren, 22 years old, son of B. F. von Behren, president of a large wood manufacturing plant here The danger of any race outbreak is decried by Chief of Police Covey, who said tonight he had not seen any sign of disorder among the Negroes. He expressed no fear of a demonstration at the funerals of the victims. The Von Behrens, as a precaution have employed guards at their factory. A policeman also was detailed to guard the plant last night and tonight. Young Von Behren, in his cell at the county jail, has been forbidden to see newspuper men, or talk with anybody except his lawyers and his father about the case. He spends his time reading novels. There has been some talk of self defense, but the impression is growing that his defense on trial will be insanity. RACE NEWS Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 1—The lower house of the Iowa Legislature indicated today that it intended passing a bill to prevent intermarriage between whites and Negroes, when, by a vote of 24 to 46, it rejected the report of the judicial committee. This committee has reported the bill for indefinite postponement. Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 4.—Officials of the Toledo & Ohio Central railroad today announced that white women will be substituted for Negro men as waiters on the dining cars operated by that road. White women will also succeed the present colored chefs. The board of commission elected to build the $100,000 Pythian Temple in Dallas met this week at the office of Dr. J. W. Anderson behind closed doors. After three days deliberation they left the city without giving out any information to the jurisdiction as to what is being done. All efforts to interview members of the commission proved fruitless. It is understood that they have directed Mr. Sydney Pittman to draw plans for a $150,000 building instead of $100,000.—Dallas Express. Cairo, Ill., Feb. 12.—Negroes at Charleston, Mo., near here, have been frightened by placards warning them to leave within thirty days. Many arrived in Cairo today, and others at Porlar Bluff and Sikerston, Mo. A promise from the officers to protect the Negroes thus far has failed to stop the exodus. The posting of the placards is believed to have been the work of a joker. The New York State Athletic commission which controls boxing in New York, has made a new rule prohibiting boxing between white and colored pugilists. It seems as though color prejudice is hastening to an incurable end, growing stronger rather than weaker. It is painful that such an unnecessary evil cannot be abated; especially if the two races are to reverence the same flag. Columbus, O., Feb. 4.—Holding that colored people cannot be denied the privilege of buying in public places, the Franklin County Court of Appeals last week reversed the case of Graham Denwell against George Foerster and others for damages, in which a finding for the defendeut was made by NO 23 a jury in Common Pleas Court. Mr. Deuwell is a colored attorney and George and Fred Foerster own a confectionary store at 235 South High street. Mr. Deuwell alleged that they refused to sell him a glass of soda water. He brought suit for $500 damages. The case will be retried. Topeka, Kan., Feb. 4.—The judiciary committee of the State Senate killed the bill to prevent the intermarriage of races. The bill had been already passed by the lower house of the Legislature, and was regarded as an entering wedge to all kinds of "Jim Crow" measures. It was bitterly fought by leading colored residents, who enlisted the efforts of white Republicans against the bill. It was pointed out by the protestants of the bill that cases of intermarriage between white and colored parsons were infrequent and that the measure was intended to humiliate the colored people. Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 9.—Mr. and Mrs. Edward E. McLean, who have a 3-year-old son, commonly known as the hundred million dollar baby, have taken a little Negro boy as their fosterling. He is to be treated as an equal of young Vinson McLean and furnished with every luxury until he is 15 years old, when he is to become Vinson's valet. McLean made this statement concerning the transaction: "I don't want my son to be a snob. The trend of wealth is in that direction. Now he has a healthy little boy to play with. I was brought up the same way, first with a Negro mammy, then a Negro boy, who was my playmate and later my valet." Chicago, Ill.—Prejudice is creeping in upon us in Chicago but every now and then it gets a jolt beneath the ribs. The question was squarely put, whether a colored woman and man should have their pictures in a group in the graduating class of Loyalo Medical College. That was the question and it was debated for several hours the other day, but it remained for a young Jew to champion the cause of the race and when he finished a vote was taken which resulted 61 to 41 in favor of the members of the race not being ignored. Some southern whites raised the question and pushed it to a bitter end, but failed ignominiously. CONDENSED RECORD OF THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS AT HOME AND ABROAD. SAYINGS, DOING 8, ACHIEVE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—By the insertion of an "emergency" clause in any bill which it so pleases to treat, the Legislature may find a way to prevent the referring of measures passed by it to the people and in that regard thwart the initiative and referendum. First action of this kind was taken in the House of Representatives when the good roads commissioner bill was passed in that body on third and final reading including the following clause, which is section 13: "It is hereby declared that this act is necessary for the immediate preservation of public safety." Speaker O. C. Skinner contends that the clause will prevent a referendum on the bill that might be sought by enemies of the measure. The clause is not the ordinary "emergency" clause attached to emergency bills hitherto but is one that has been used in Oregon bills with special intention to prevent referendums. The Oregon Supreme Court has held that a bill containing the clause cannot be referred. New Members of State Home Board.

Bodies of Men Who Reached South Pole Discovered by Rescuers and Records Obtained. London.—News reached the world that Captain Robert E. Scott, the Antarctic explorer, and four of his companions, perished in the Antarctic on their return journey from the south pole. They reached their goal on January 18th, 1912, about a month after Captain Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian, J. ROBERT F. SCOTT. had' planted the flag of his country there. Scott also found Amundsen's hut. They then turned back toward the bases they formed on their outward journey, but were overtaken, overwhelmed and destroyed by a blizzard. The Terra Nova sailed on June 10th, 1910, for New Zealand and the south pole. It was joined by Captain Robert F. Scott a few days later at Cardiff. EXPLORERS SINCE 1567 WHO DASHED TOWARD THE SOUTH POLE. Following Are the Records of Dashes for the South Pole. 1567—Alvaro Mendana of Peru set out to discover "Terra Austral's Incognita," regarded as the land "furtest south." 1588—Jacob Mahn sailed from Rotherham to reach the south pole.

Bowers. Petty Officer E. E. Evans. "Care for Our Families," Scott's Last Words. The closing words in Captain Scott's epic were: "Had we lived I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, the endurance and the courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. "These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale. But surely, surely a great and rich country like ours will see that those who are dependent upon us are properly provided for." Captain Scott's Body Found in Tent. Captain Scott's tent, inside which the bodies of Captain Scott, Dr. Wilson and Lieutenant Bowers were found, was discovered on November 12th by Wright's party. Their concise records, the tale of their hope, their suffering and their triumphs were found on their bodies. Briefly—with efforts that must have been frightfully painful, in view of their awful situation—these records said that Edgar Evans, the petty officer, had been the first to die. Explorer Scott's Polar Achievements. Capt. Robert F. Scott was forty-five years old. He served with the British Royal navy with distinction. His achievements in the Antarctic earned him many coveted medals. He explored the famous Ice Barrier for more than 400 miles and discovered new land to the east. In 1902, Scott pushed south over the Ice Barrier with his sledging party for nearly 500 miles, beating by a wide margin the record of "farthest south" at that time. In 1903 he traveled 300 miles and returned through the land of the West. 300 DEAD AND 1,500 WOUNDED MEXICAN REBELS BOMBARD PAL ACE AND TWO AMERICAN WOMEN SHOT. U. S. READY TO INVADE 35,000 TROOPS AND SIXTEEN BATTLESHIPS TO PROTECT AMERICANS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Mexico City, Feb. 13 — Mexico's capital was torn asunder again yesterday by shot and shell. It was not until 9 o'clock that the fire ceased in all quarters. General Felix Diaz, in command of the rebel forces fortified and entrenched in and around the arsenal, held his ground against the federals. He did more than this. He subjected the city to a more terrible bombardment than that of Tuesday, enlarged his zone of action and sent forces against the national palace. The casualties are estimated at not less than 300 dead and 1,500 wounded in the two days' fighting. Two American women are dead, shot to pieces by a shell. They were Mrs. H. W. Holmes and Mrs. Percy Griffiths. Several Americans have been wounded, but the total number of native noncombatants injured undoubtedly was small. Experience is fast teaching the citizens to keep out of the line of fire. Summary of Day's Attack. Anticipating early recumption of histilies more than 600 Americans have fled from their homes. Ambassador Wilson, on information from the national palace, knew that the government planned a crushing blow, and, determined to save Americans if possible, rented houses to which, under flags of truce, agents of the embassy hurried in automobiles as many women and children as would agree to be transported. The capital was quiet during the night, but fugitive foreigners, filled with horror by frightful bombardment of last two days, needed little urging to move. Casualties (two days' fighting) estimated at not less than 300 dead and 1,500 wounded. Bombardment far heavier Wednesday than Tuesday and probably loss of life smaller. Two American women are dead and several Americans have been wounded. Sixteen warships and 35,000 men are ready to protect Americans in Mexico. President Taft and Cabinet are in accord that Congress shall share responsibility for intervention. Orozco revolution and Diaz element may eventually join forces. Four thousand seasoned United States troops at border ready to invade Mexico. Intervention Must Be Started by Congress. Washington, Feb. 13.—President Taft and the Cabinet are in accord that Congress shall share the responsibility for an intervention in Mexico. A day of conferences between the President and his advisers ended with the understanding that should conditions in Mexico City become so much worse as to demand the landing or American troops Mr. Taft will lay before both houses of Congress the full facts of the situation in a special message. Every preliminary has been arranged for the action which might follow such a course. Thirty-five thousand men of the army, navy and marine corps were put in readiness for movement. The first brigade of the first army division, just created in the reorganization, 3,000 men in all, and the nucleus of an expeditionary force of 15,000 was put on marching orders ready to entrain for Newport News, Va., where army transports wait under steam.

What will be an annual event was the ball given by Engine Co., No. 3, at Eureka hall, for the benefit of the Firemen’s Pension fund, last Wednes- day night, Feb. 12th, How eagerly the people had been waiting for this date was clearly demonstrated by the tre- mendous crowd that Was present, in fact, the capacity of the hall was far too inadequate to accommodate all who wished to enter. ¢ At 7:30 the company made an ex: hibition run from the fire house to the hall, where exci: member got busy in welcoming their guests. The grand march, which took place at 9 o'clock, |was led by Capt, Silas H. Johnson and was a demonstration of some ar: tistic manuvering. The costumes worn by the ladies were of rich varie- ties, and the scene was one of spec tacular splendor. The hall was elab- orately and tastily decorated with flags, bunting, flowers and _pottec nants, and figured in no small degree of admiration and flattering comment. ‘The refreshments, which comprised that of the best the market affords, were served in abundance. The firemen were in their full dresa uniform and as everybody puts it, “they certainly looked good.” The company comprises the following members: Capt. Silas H. Johnson, Lieut. Thos. S. Martin, Driver John E. Oglesby, Pipemen Alfred Froman, Wim. A, Sloan and George Anderson. Ther: is no faster or braver firemen in the Denver fire department than Engine Co. No. 3, in fact, whenever, this company responds to a fire, éne car hear frequent remarks from white people, complimenting the colorec boys as being the fastest and best fire fighters in the city, and there is never an argument coming on such remarks ‘The best of music was furnished for the occasion and it was not until the small hours of the morning before the strains of “Home, Sweet Home” closed the most enjoyable event ever pulled off at Eureka hall. The Colorado Statesman extends congratulations to Engine Co. No. : for the tremendous success of theil entertainment. CAMPBELL CHAPEL Campbell Chapel A. M. B. churca, Cor. 23rd and Lawrence Sts. Rev.

A cobbler, whose sweetheart died, ap- prenticed himself to a stone-cutter in order to execute a fitting tribute to her memory, and after fourteen months he was able to carve a beau- tiful rose on a marble slab and write beneath: “Such was She.” After it had been erected over her grave he returned to his first trade, and now repairs shoes as before. What the Eyebrows Tell Us. There is more character in the eye- brows than one would suppose. It they are very much arched, they de- note a weak, changeable nature. Hye- brows that meet signify bad temper and a jealous disposition; but, if if there {s a good wide space between them, their owner is probably very un- selfish and good tempered. It they are darker than the hair, their own- er will be passionate but inconsist- ent in love; if lighter, they reveal a weak disposition.

It should be stated. that the teachers of the institution itself keep constantly in mind the fact that the south is largely an agriculural country, and that at least eighty per cent. of the colored people depend upon farming for their living, and, furthermore, the negro race as a whole is far better off when in cultivating the soil than in any other occupation. For these reasons no pains are spared to {m- Prove each year the training given in farming and related occupations 80 as to keep the student close to the soil and lead them to love farm life to the extent that a large proportion of them will take up work immediately in the country. As an immediate result of this teaching the school has been able to produce the best crop on its farm during the past year in the history of the institution. ‘This within itself has done much to deepen the interest of the sixteen hundred students in farm- ing. As a further illustration of the result of this training, in Macon coun- ty alone, in Alabama, in which the Tuskegee Institute is located, there are three graduates of the school, to say nothing of hundreds of others en- gaged in farming, who have more than a hundred farms or that number of colored farmers under thelr super- vision. This one case, out of many that might be referred to throughout Alabama and the south. And, too, it 1s safe to state that at least half of the men from Tuskegee Institute, who are classed as school teachers, engage, to some extent, in farming while engaged in teaching their pu pils. Thirty of the graduates and for- mer students of the institute are teaching agriculture in vartous schools. Some of these schools are located at Snow Hill, Ala.; Prentiss, Miss.; Tailahassee, Fla; Lawrence- vile, Va.; Denmark, 8. C., and at the University of Porto Rico, Porto Rico Right of the graduates are working for the United States department of agriculture as agricultural demonstra- tion agents in the states of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Virginia. ‘The government experts induce colored farmers to set aside small portions of thefr land and plant and cultivate it under their direction. ‘These small plots serve as object lessons for the communities. ‘Thus, where farmers raised from five to fifteen bushels of corn per acre, they are now, because of this teaching, raising from thirty to sixty bushels per acre. Where from 150 to 200 pounds of lint cotton were produced per acre, now from 250 to 600 bushels per acre. On what 1s called very poor land Tuskegee stu- dents raised on the institute farm last year 500 bushels of sweet potatoes per acre. These demonstration agents do not confine themselves to teach- ing improved farming methods, but they also assist the colored farmers in getting better live stock, in having better gardens, and in improving their homes. In a community where one of these agents Is at work a visit was made recently to forty gardens of farmers bv a competent committee. ‘The committee found In these gardens peas, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, mus- tard, pepper, lettuce and carrots. He- sides, the gardens were in good con- dition. This resulted from the teach- ing of one graduate of Tuskegee insti- tute. Prof. George W. Carver of the Tus: kegee Institute agricultural depart ment, foremost of his race in scientific agriculture in the south, if not in the United States, was born a slave in Missouri, on the Carver plantation. Of his parentage he knows littie. During his youth he worked at odd jobs to earn a living, At last he found an op- portunity to take charge of the green: houses of the horticultural department of the Iowa Agricultural college at Ames. He remained there until he was graduated, when he was made assistant botanist. He took advant- age of his opportunities there to con- tinue his studies, and finally took a diploma as a post-graduate student, the first diploma of that sort that had been given at Ames. Hon, W. H. Lewis, assistant attor- ney general of the United States, sailed from New York for Paris, France, a few days ago, where Mrs, Lewis and children have been living for the past year or so, in order that thelr children could attend the dif- ferent schools of the old country with- out any friction. Leading colored physjcians and citi- gens are behind a movement to build ‘a $50,000 hospital for the colored peo- ple of New York city. The MeDon- ough Hospital association, which is named after the pioneer colored physi- clan in the elty, is the agency through which those interested hope to accom- plish their aim. Among the business plants of Nash- ville, Tenn., are listed two banks, three undertaking establishments, two photographers, two hospitals and two Sublishing houses. Notwithstanding the fact that we can boast of our past progress, there is yet something to be considered which has been refrained from somewhat. We are failing to yoke ourselves together for the success of our journals, insur- ance organizations and other business enterprises. We have now seen that these things are not frauds. Every chartered insurance company pays its claims, and all newspapers that have existed for any length of time give us what we pay for, and loyally champion all the causes vitally important to our people. Such businesses are among the most important concerns in opera- tion by other races; and since we are Inclined to keep pace with them in all things, we should do likewise in these things. Many of our men utilize their talents to help supply the race with much needed literature and meet with some success, while many sacrifice in order to render like service, and fail in a business way. There is no other race to support negro journals and insur- ance organizations, consequently our people should be generous in the sup- port of all our worthy enterprises. If we supported our own journals as well as we support those published by whites surely ours would rank high among the leading journals of the country. We need ta be reminded of this fact, that if we continue supporting our other enterprises, and give our news: papers and insurance companies due support, we will soon have construct- ed a sure commereial foundation upon which to perpetuate collossal future enterprises—Southern Life Magazine. Malaysian riddles, Dutch rebuses and Liberian head measurements com- prise a small but interesting part of the material brought to the Univers- ity of Chicago by Prof. Frederick Starr of the anthropology department on his return from a trip abroad. With Harry Johnson, a Chicago ne- gro, and Campbel Marvin, a graduate student of the University of Chicago, Professor Starr made a walking trip of 150 miles into the interior of Af riea, after visiting the Liberian city of Monrovia. Among the places visit- ed during the trip were Teneriffe, Casa Blanca, Nazaban, Zafl, Mogador and the Mpesse territory. ‘The pri- mary purpose of my trip was to inves- tigate the soctal, economic and po- litical conditions of Liberia,” sald Professor Starr. “I found the country one of the most interesting from these points of view, and shall have some- thing definite to say about them all in my future lectures. Liberia is a fine fleld for American enterprise. We took 14,000 feet of moving picture films, and as an example of our indus- try, I measured the heads of 200 na- tive soldiers of the Liberian frontier force. While abroad I received the sad news of the death of Manuel Gon- zales, my Mexican boy, who has ac- companied me on many of my trips in different parts of the world. We were in Morocco at a decidedly lively time. The old empire was just in its death throes, and there was plenty of opportunity for observation.” In haste to be rich, virtue and char- ity are often put aside; and thus swift posterity often leads to violence, cheating and extortion. The man was not a dreamer who sald: “The love of money {s the root of all evil.” Money is to be desired above many things, but we should not do question- able things to obtain it. Giles W. White, a Democratic ne gro of Montgomery county, Maryland, who is actively pushing his cause, hoping to secure the appointment of minister to Liberia, is a school teach- er. He studied law at the Howard University Law school, Washington, but did not seek admission to the bar. He has been active worker in the party ranks for 16 years. Regiments serving in the United States and having the lowest percent- age of desertion last year were the ‘Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fitth infantry, both colored organizations, which showed desertions of 1.52 and 1.60 per cent. The Tenth cavalry has been one of the two regiments show- ing the lowest desertion for the past three years. ‘The editors of white papers are prompt in commenting on the bad things the negroes do. We think it 1s fair and just to discuss with an equal degree of pride the good things done by them, especially when they vote in such a manner as to promote law and order. Such was their conduct in the last campaign. A colored population of about 25,000 ‘in Seattle, Wash., owns and supports ‘five churches, and has two physicians, two lawyers, one newspaper, four ‘apartment houses and six fraternal organizations. Fire destroyed almost completely the chapel of Walden university in Nash- ville. There was no attendant loss of Ife. It’s the easiest thing in the world for the average person to make a bad vaste! Friends of Aviation Ask Congress to Appropriate $3,000,000. Experts Call Attention to the Power ful Aerial Fleets Possessed by All the European Powers—Nation Now Far in the Rear. Washington.—Hopelessly outclassed by France, Germany, England, Russia and many small nations of Europe in the number of aeroplanes in use for military purposes, friends of the flying game in the United States are busy planning a tentative bill calling for a $3,000,000 appropriation for the ad- vancement of aviation by the army and navy. A bill is now being prepared call- ing upon congress to authorize this umount, in order to put the United States to the front in this new arm of defense and offense. It {s understood the bill will be introduced into the house of representatives, possibly by Representative William G. Sharp of Obio, who 1s known to the flying men In this country as “the champion of the cause” in the house. It will be pointed out that this great appropriation really would give this country the prestige enjoyed by the larger nations of Europe in this new field. Including the aeroplanes and hyJroplanes of both the army and the the navy, the United States today can muster but twenty-two machines. Fraace has almost 1,000, while Eng- land and Germany have several hun- dred each. The war department will be asked to detail a sufficient number of men to operate the large number of ma- chines which would be bought under the appropriation. ‘The men who are interested In the new Dill represent the aeronautical rocieties, manufacturers of American- made aeroplanes, army officers and re 38 or is —_ ERS A | e Gen. James Allen. scientific men interested in the ad- vancement of the science made pos- sible by the efforts of Prof. Samuel Langley, Wilbur Wright, Glenn Curtis and other pioneers of flying. Brigadier General James Allen, chief officer of the signal corps, deplores the fact that the year 1912 has shown no advancement in aviation in the United States army except that of the individual efforts of the aviators themselves, and other officials directly interested in the advancement of this new arm of the nation’s offense and defense. “It 1s time some real enthusiasm is shown by congress,” declares the veteran officer, who retires from the service on February 13. “We are prac- tically standing still in this great and scientific problem, while France, Eng- land, Germany, Russia, Japan and most all of the larger foreign nations are making wonderful strides.” According to General Allen, the United States army has but fourteen Diplanes ready for instant use, and only fourteen officers capable of fly- ing, while practically every foreign na- tlon completely and overwhelmingly outclasses this country in the size of its aerial fleet. Individual efforts of the aviators were directed mainly during the last twelve months to the perfection of wireless telegraphy from flying aero- planes. Splendid success was met with, messages being flashed as far as fifteen miles from biplanes moving as fast as sixty miles an hour. The avia- tors also were successful in directing the fire of the artillery at Fort Riley, Kan., at a hidden target from ma- chines while at altitudes of 2,000 feet or more, by using the wireless. The army paid a great toll, how- ever, in the death of two Meutenants and one enlisted man, killed at Col lege Park, Md., during the summer. They were Lieutenant Leighton W. Hazlehurst, Jr, Lieutenant Louts C. Rockwell and Corporal Frank Scott. Something He Had Seen. A teacher was taking a class of small children in English grammar and was explaining the difference be- tween a common and abstract noun. “An example of a common noun is dog,” she said; “for you can see it, while you cannot see anything that is an abstract noun. “For instance, have any of you seen abundance?” There was silence for about a minute. Then a little boy got up and sald: , “Please, ma’am, I have never seen a bun dance, but I have seen a cake walk.”—Weekly Telegrapk Determined that the plan of the Panama canal fortifications shall not become the prop: Photographs of erty of possible Can |. military adversa- ay Barred ries, Colonel Goe- thals, chairman of the canal commis- sion, has restored the order excluding photographers from the vicinity of the works going up at Toro Point, Margue- rita Island and the islands in Panama ay.

Mr. Hilles would not disclose the identity of the writer, whose in- geniousness, he acknowledged, com- manded his admiration. The letter read: “I have been attending the White House receptions for years, but I am tired of using another person’s ticket. Will you please send me one for the next reception in my own name?” The coveted cards admitting guests to the White House on the occasion of the four big affairs of the winter are much sought after, and especially so this season, since President-elect Wilson has intimated the receptions would be abandoned during his admin- fstration. Every description of sub- terfuge is resorted to in an effort to obtain invitations which, since the top- heavy lists were cut down, have been scarcer than ever before. ‘This particular appeal, however, was the most unusual that has yet passed under Secretary Hilles’ notice. No in- formation was forthcoming as to whether it would be successful. When you talk of fish, the eyes of George M. Bowers, fish commissioner z at Washington, be- Fish Fry and gin to glisten. He Distribution. can tell you with- out a moment's hesitation the status of the nation's fish family. One of the events of 1912 as recorded in the office of the fish commissioner, was the salmon catch on the Pacific coast, the largest in ten years. That shows how the fish habit is growing in the far west. The fish catch in the east is also increasing year by year. The output for 15 years past, amounting to $3,687,921,057, and the cost of producing young salmon in these 15 years has been reduced from $468 to $122 per million. When you talk about the output of young fish by the fish commission, runs well into the quadrillions, quintillions and the figures and ciphers are in great demand when computing Uncle Sam's fish-hatching operations. Perhaps the plethora of ciphers, required for fish- hatching estimates is responsible for the proneness to exaggerate when a simple fish story !s told. Statistics for livestock products for New York are presented in a bulletin just issued by the Many Dairy Cows census bureau of in New York the department of commerce and la- bor and prepared under the supervi- sion of John Lee Coulter, expert spe- cial agent for agriculture. The re- turns for livestock products obtained in the census of 1910 relate to the ac- tivities of the calendar year 1909. The number of farms in New York reporting dairy cows on April 15, 1910, was 154,024, but only 168,408 reported dairy products in 1909. The number of farms which made any report of milk produced in 1909 was 132,204, and the number of dairy cows on such farms on April 15, 1910, was 1,151,000, Bay State Marksmen Excel. ‘The artillery marksmen of the Mas- sachusetts National Guard won the 12- inch rifle target practice over all state militia organizations during 1912, according to reports just compiled by the militia division of the war de- partment.

Mexico City, Feb. 10.—Early this morning it was reported that President Madero and his family had fled from the capital toward the eastern coast. It was also reported that all the members of his Cabinet had resigned. Madero's decision to flee, it is said, followed the knowledge that General Blanquet was unwilling to fight General Felix Diaz. Blanquet's force is in the city. The bridges between the capital and Toluca have been burned. Mexico City, via Galveston, Tex., Feb. 10.—Discovered in a plot to revolt and make Felix Diaz military dictator, by far the greater part of the regular Mexican army garrison here mutinied, released General Diaz and General Bernardo Reyes from prison, attacked the national palace and captured the arsenal in the suburbs. General Reyes was killed in the fighting at the palace, in which 200 fell, among them many women. Two Americans are reported among the slain. Diaz Heads Troops. General Diaz, who is the nephew of the deposed president, Porfirio Diaz, now is at the head of a majority of the capital troops, including most of the artillery, and is in possession of the arsenal in the city and the powder works near by. Madero is relying on the loyalty of General Blanquet, who has been summoned from Toluca, forty miles distant, but Blanquet has only 1,000 men under his command and the rebels are confident of defeating him should he refuse to join the revolt. ARMY TAPS THE KEYS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS WOMEN STENOGRAPHERS. Official Figures Show That 80 Per Cent of All Commercial Typewriting Done In This Country Is Done by Women. The official figures at Washington show that there were approximately a quarter of a million women employed in the United, States in 1900 as stenographers and typewriters. Those figures include not only stenographers and typewriters, but clerks and copyists, bookkeepers and accountants. a quarter of a million women employed in the United, States in 1900 as stenographers and typewriters. Those figures include not only stenographers and typewriters, but clerks and copyists, bookkeepers and accountants. In this year of grace 1913 an official of one of the big typewriting concerns hazards the opinion that there are of stenographers and typewriters alone, in the city of New York, at least 100,000 women. To any one familiar with "office New York," the estimate seems conservative. The women typist has entered into the office work of the city, as in Lucy Yarcom's day she invaded the mill and factory work of Lowel. She has dispossessed men almost completely. It is estimated that 80 per cent., perhaps 85 per cent., of all commercial typewriting done in this country is done by women, and economists, in taking account of the movement of women into industry, date from the invention of the typewriter, much as they date from the introduction of the power loom. Although a machine for "the impressing or transcribing letters singly or progressively" was patented in England in 1714, the subsequent history of typewriter invention is one of long gaps, and it was not until 1874 that the working typewriter was put on the market, and its story as an influential economic factor is packed into the last thirty years. Women had been in offices in clerical capacity before the evolution of the typewriter. They fairly poured in afterward. But though the number has kept increasing, it is questionable if the women themselves have even yet fully recognized how wide is the door into the business world which the little bell on the typewriter may be said to have rung open for them. "Women still lack vision in business," declares one whose work as the head of the employing department of a typewriter company brings him into direct relation with an endless line of women, filing and defiling through the department, seeking the elusive job. "They don't see in typewriting a stepping stone to something bigger. They see in it just the chance to earn a living until they can marry." It is a frequently heard accusation. Some people read in it the salvation of the nation, and jubilate because the marrying instinct is so strong in women that it can be relied on to survive all phases of industrial readjustment. Others wring their hands over the waste of material and opportunity involved in the girl's attitude of indifference. It is a knotty problem, and the watcher at the threshold hardly knows whether to jubilate or wring hands. "Why, just look at some of them," say the men who are trying to bring the raw material up to its highest degree of efficiency for "the good of business." Then they cite case after case to show what women have done. It is so imposing a showing that one wonders if, after all, a sanguine view is not unescapable. There is the woman who, entering the employ of a typewriter company as a demonstrator, has risen to be its acting treasurer; there is the woman who, entering an architect's office as a stenographer, has become office manager; there is the woman who, entering the office of one of the down town financiers to take letters from a subordinate official, has become the confidential secretary of the financier himself, at a salary of $10,000 a year—the case repeats itself hundreds of times in this one city. And in the rank and file there is improvement and promise of greater improvement. For one thing, the requirements in the matter of general education are going higher. Stenography and typewriting are taught in the high schools of today, so that the technical education may be inter-associated with the general education. Extra Pay Not Allowed. Officers and men in the United States revenue cutter service who render service to vessels in distress at sea will not be allowed to accept pay for the same. This ruling was announced by the secretary of the treasury in the case of the officers and men of the cutters Onondaga and Yamacraw, which went to the assistance of the British steamship Wyvisbrook, which was stranded near False Cape, Va., while on a voyage last June from Pensacola, Fla., to Greenock, Scotland. Did the Work of Ostrich. A curious story comes from Stockenstrom, southern Australia. A hen ostrich, belonging to a local farmer, left her nest. The farmer, having no incubator, stayed in bed with the eggs for a few days until they were hatched. PRESIDENT AN EARLY RISER Often Disposes of Several Days' Accumulation of Important Business Before Breakfast. President Taft is an early riser. It is not at all unusual for him to put in an appearance in the white house offices at 6 o'clock in the morning. He is always ready for work, and when he can find a stenographer to take dictation the president frequently disposes of a day's work before the office force begins to straggle in about 9 o'clock. When there is a message to congress pending, as recently, much judicial thought is given to the matter and all necessary data are on hand before a word is written. The psychological moment for starting the message may come with the break of dawn. The president is soon dressed and in his office, looking for a stenographer. One morning early last winter, when the press of official papers was extraordinarily heavy, President Taft startled the lone policeman in the outer reception room by strolling in and inquiring if there was a stenographer about. A negative reply caused the president to go to the door and look across the lonely white house lawn and scan the walks and driveways in the vain hope that some one who could take dictation might be seen. Retracing his steps, he walked from room to room, until in the file room he found a young chap, busily at work sorting out papers. "Do you write shorthand?" "Yes, Mr. President." They repaired to the president's office and the young man's arm ached when the president finally said: "That's all." He had caught up on important matters which had piled up for days. TURKEY TROT IS O. K.'D Washington's "Ninety and Nine" Decide Not to Bar Any Dance at Functions. Washington's Monday night dancing class, called by the members "The Ninety and Nine," which put the Bachelors and several other dancing organizations out of business, laid plans for the winter, which as remarkable a record for fun as did the Benedicts for elegance. Many of the young married folk belong to both the Benedicts and the Monday Night Dancing class. They made their membership ninety-nine just because they wanted something odd. The committee decided that while the chicken flip, turkey trot, bunny hug and other dances were not really essential, one would have a much better time and be less subject to wallflower fate if the members and guests were skilled in them, and instructors were brought from New York to teach the latest dances. No dance was barred, and the good taste of all members prevented any advantage being taken of the privilege. The first dance at the playhouse was given Christmas eve night, and a big Christmas tree stood on the stage. fully illuminated, when the curtain went up at 1. a. m. The Christmas tree committee had a great time selecting mail bags for the postmaster general, all sorts of automatic toys bearing the hobbies of various members, and gifts, amusing, useless and unbeautiful. Among the Washington members enrolled are Mr. and Mrs. George Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Letter, Representative and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, William Hitt, Miss Williams and the fifty who were members of the organization last winter. IS JACK OF ALL TRADES Senator Ashurst of Arizona in a Class by Himself as Shown by Official Biography. As a jack of all trades, Senator Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona is put in a clas by himself by his biography, which is published in the Congressional directory for the new session. After recounting that he became a resident of Arizona when three months old, and studied business, law and political economy, the biography continues: "He has pursued the following occupations: Lumberjack, cowboy, clerk and cashier in store, newspaper reporter, hodcarrier and lawyer. Senator Fall of New Mexico, whose biography is another new feature as a person of diversified employment. It is stated that he "has worked on a farm, cattle ranch and as a miner." The other biographies appear practically as they were in the last directory, published during the last session of congress. Although he has announced he will act as a "progressive" during the coming session. Senator Poindexter is listed as a "Republican." Wrong Kind of Bugs. Robert M. Pindell, chief clerk of the department of commerce and labor, will not allow expense accounts bearing "powder to kill cockroaches" unless the powder is of a certain brand. The naturalization division of the department made a requisition for some powder, naming a powder not on the supply list. But Mr. Pindell would not supply it. Whereupon he was told that roaches walked around in the kind of powder he allowed and fattened at the expense of the government. "Then we will have to get some different roaches," said Mr. Pindell. YANKEE ADMIRAL HEADS THE TURKISH NAVY ORIGINATOR OF PLAN TO PENSION MOTHERS IS FIRST SEA LORD OF THE BRITISH NAVY MISS INEZ MILHOLLAND TO HEAD BIG PARADE --- Bucknam Pasha—or Admiral Ransford D. Bucknam, as the intrepid American admiral of the imperial Ottoman navy is better known to a host of friends in this country—is brought once more into the international lime-light by dispatches just received from the seat of the Balkan conflict. These reports are of the man who en- American admiral of the imperial Ottoman navy is better known to a host of friends in this country—is brought once more into the international lime-light by dispatches just received from the seat of the Balkan conflict. These reports are of the man who engineered the sortie of the Turkish fleet from the Dardanelles, a maneuver which showed a potent grip of naval tactics. The career of Ransford D. Bucknam from the time he first shipped before the mast as a cabin boy on the Great Lakes until he was commissioned several years ago with the full rank of an admiral in the Turkish navy, reads like a chapter from fiction. He is the first Christian ever placed in actual command of a Mohammedan fleet. Even Hobart Pasha, the British admiral of the Crimean war, failed to gain this distinction. Bucknam Pasha gained his present rank by his work in reorganizing the Turkish navy under Abdul Hamid. He was a rear admiral when Abdul Hamid was deposed, but the new regime confirmed his rank and later elevated him to his present position. Bucknam was born in Nova Scotia, but his parents moved to Maine when he was very young. His experiences on the Great Lakes began when he was fourteen years old, and two years One of the newest movements in philanthropic effort is that of the : is that of the plan of the state giving to widowed mothers pensions for the safeguarding and care taking of their young children. For years past, when a mother was left with a brood of little ones while the breadwinner was killed either in the line of his employment or plan of the state giving to widowed mothers pensions for the safeguarding and care taking of their young children. For years past, when a mother was left with a brood of little ones while the breadwinner was killed either in the line of his employment or otherwise, the only refuge for the mother and her children was the poorhouse, or if that was disdained by the spirited mother, she was forced to resort to all kinds of work, some distasteful, to make enough to keep her little ones under a roof—called home. At a recent session of the Pennsylvania Federation of Woman's Clubs at Williamsport, it was deemed advisable by the delegates to give some serious discussion to the plan of pen- Prince Louis of Battenberg, the new first sea lord of the British navy, has always been persona grata at the English court. Although not "royal" in the technical meaning of the word, he is closely allied by blood and marriage with nearly every reigning house in Europe that counts. M. B. His father, Prince Alexander of Hesse, chose his wife outside the charmed circle of royalty. He married a Countess Julie von Hauke, who was created first countess and then princess of Battenberg. Prince Louis is the second child and eldest son of the marriage. The second son, Alexander, was the unfortunate prince of Bulgaria who finally renounced his princely rank and (as Count von Hartenau) married an actress. The next son, Prince Henry, Miss Inez Milholland, the New York society tussferig, dressed in yellow and carrying a trumpet with a purple banner, will lead the procession of woman suffragists in Washington on March 3. Miss Milholland's duties as heraldist will consist of sending abroad ringing messages about the crusade. A. A new feature was added to the parade the other day when the Baltimore suffragists promised to send six chariots driven by women from Baltimore to Washington. These chariots will represent teachers, clergy. "I shall never forget," said the popular statesman, "the crowd of 10,000 people who cheered me for one solid hour." "Have you ever thought of your terrible responsibility?" asked the mathematician. "An hour each for 10,000 people represents 10,000 hours, or nearly a year and two months, devoted to the exhaustive and unproductive occupation of cheering." later he sailed from New York as quartermaster on a schooner bound for the Pacific. While the schooner was in Manilla the captain and mates died from the cholera. Bucknam was the only man aboard who had studied navigation. He appeared before a special board to be examined for a master's certificate. Bucknam was in command of a steamship that sailed from Tampico for New York in the early '90's. The vessel, which was laden with silver and hemp, struck a sunken wreck when twenty-four hours out of Tampico and the propeller was completely demolished. The mate and three men managed to reach the shore in an open boat and cabled for help. In the meantime the vesSEL had drifted at the will of the winds and waves and a rescuing tug had to spend three weeks locating it. Although the ship was badly damaged, Bucknam balked at the cost of having her drydocked at Key West and he undertook the hazardous task of bringing her to New York in her disabled condition. First, he shifted all the cargo to the forward compartments to settle her by the head. When this failed to bring the stern high enough in the air so that the propeller could be reached he hitched a small schooner laden with stone ballast to the stem. This maneuver raised the stern so high that Bucknam was able to attach a makeshift propeller. It was the first occasion in nautical history where a master had put a propeller on a ship without drydocking her. He brought the steamship to New York. The spectacular feat gained the young skipper great commendation. stoning mothers who were compelled to care for their fatherless children. It is understood that prominent club women and welfare workers are planning to have the next state legislature of Pennsylvania enact a law similar to that now in force in Missouri, where the widows and children are well taken care of. The Missouri plan was launched by Mrs. Henrietta C. Cosgrove of Joplin, Mo. She originated the idea, has worked zealously in its behalf for five years, and is so much encouraged by its reception that she predicts that within another five years every state in the Union will have placed a law providing pensions for widows with children, on their statute books. Mrs. Cosgrove is a widow, but is independently wealthy, as she is the owner of rich producing lead and zinc mining properties in the noted Joplin district, which she operates. Mrs. Cosgrove hopes that the pension statutes will eventually not only benefit mothers who have been widowed by death, but likewise those bereft of the breadwinner by divorce, desertion or permanent disability. married the youngest daughter of Queen Victoria, the Princess Beatrice, and became the father of the queen of Spain. The youngest brother, Francis Joseph, married a daughter of the king of Montenegro. His wife is therefore sister-in-law of the kings of Italy and Servia and of two Russian grand dukes. Prince Louis of Battenberg himself married Queen Victoria's granddaughter, the Princess Victoria. One of his sisters is the present czarina, another is the widow of the Grand Duke Sergius, who was blown up a few years ago, and a third is the Princess Henry of Prussia, the kaiser's sister-in-law. The real cause of the advancement of the princes of Battenberg has been their near connection with the Russian court. The late Empress Marie, grandmother of the present Czar Nicholas, was their father's sister. She was very fond of her handsome four nephews, and made it her business to see that they succeeded in life. Several hundred women from Baltimore, and a number of garment workers from New York will march in the raiment of poverty behind a float on which there will be figures symbolical of greed, tyranny and indifference. Ranged around the ragged women workers will be several children from the slum sections of Baltimore and Washington. Miss Rosalie Jones, the "general" of the pilgrims' suffrage expedition from New York to Washington, has just made a two weeks' trip over the route selected for the march. "General" Jones arranged for hotel accommodations along the way and for a number of suffrage meetings to be held in the villages and towns through which the pilgrims will pass. A young author obtained permission from the celebrated satirist, Piron, to read to him a tragedy which was on the eve of being brought out. At every verse that was pillaged Piron took off his hat and bowed, and so frequently had he occasion to do this that the author, surprised, asked what he ment. "Oh," replied Piron, "it is only a habit I have got of saluting my old acquaintances."—Life. A Big Gift to the Public THE DENVER REPUBLICAN DELIVERED TO SUBSCRIBERS AT SIXTY CENTS A MONTH.

They are the symbol of gayety, and hence their pro- fusion at that most joyous of times— a wedding. But some of the flowers have more than a general significance. For ex- ample, there was long a custom for each guest to dip a sprig of rosemary Into his cup of wine before drinking the couple's health. The bride (if she were not a widow) and the bride- groom once adorned themselves with garlands of wheat. ‘This was a symbol of plentifulness and increase and at the present time the bridal wreath of orange blossoms possesses the same meaning. In “ye olden times” there were gar- lands, garlands everywhere at a wed- ding ceremony. Even the rejected suitor sometimes wore a garland of gray willow. Besides the flowers, both the bride and bridegroom wore a true love knot, an ornament introduced into England by the Danes in the ninth century and called the “trulofa,” the troth. The bride of that time was supposed al- ways to wear three ornaments—a ring for a pledge, a brooch for innovence, and a garland as a crown of victory Yor temptations resisted. = BRING YOUR FEET TO ’ Tober’s Sample Shoe Store 2115 LARIMER STREET av SAVE MONEY $5.00 Sample Shoes.--- $2.95 $4.00 Sample Shoes.... $2.50 $3.00 Sample Shoes__--- $1.95 Sample Shoes from Well Known Makers at Half Price D.
