LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Protecting Lives of Americans In Texas Governor Colquitt Censured For Not Protecting American Citizens In Texas. The Slaughter of a Few Americans in Mexico Tremendously Pertubes Him. VOL. XIX. Protecting Lives of icans Governor Colquitt Censured For N In Texas. The Slaughter of Tremendously The following editorial appeared in the Dallas Morning News, the leading Democratic Daily, is one of the fairest statements the Colorado Statesman has ever noted as emanating from a Bourbon press: We beg leave to call Gov. Colquitt's attention to a Newspaper report which recites that in Harrison County last Tuesday a mob caught a Negro named Anderson and hanged him to a tree, and afterward fired on two Negro prisoners who were being taken to jail, killing one of them and wounding the other. What crime was imputed to Anderson, the Negro who was hanged, our own report does not state, but it informs us that to the other two Negroes, one of whom the mob slaughtered, the heinous crime of hog-stealing was imputed. Gallantry, like charity, ought to begin at home; wherefore it has occurred to us that before mobilizing our mitita to fight spectors across the Rio Grande Gov. Colquitt would do well to make sure that there are not occasions and conditions at home to enlist all the energy and resources he can command to protect human life. Gov. Colquitt is sorely harrowed and horrified by atrocities that have been committed in Mexico while our own State is not infrequently the scene of atrocities that, in some respects, are even less defensible, since we can plead no such dire circumstances as those that beset the Mexicans. We venture to say that the number of men and women who have been murdered in Texas within the last twelve months is three or four times as great as the number of Americans who have lost their lives in Mexico throughout the two years of that country's troubles. Yet Gov. Colquitt's vision has become so disordered that this small splotch of American blood in Mexico excites him into all sorts of ludicrous capers, whereas the steadily widening and deepening pool of American blood within the confines of this State is apparently imperceptible to him. The slaughter of Americans in Mexico tremendously perturbes him, but the slaughter of a larger number of Americans in Texas not only does not spur him into action, but does not even move him to give encouragement to those who are trying to give effectiveness to our laws against murder. His solicitude for the lives and safety of Americans in Mexico would be much more admirable, not to say plausible, if he were not so indifferent as to the lives and safety of Americans in Texas. We think the proper field for the exercise of Gov. Colquitt's military ambitions lies nearer the Sabine tnan the Rio Grande. COLORADO FARMERS' MUTUAL AID ASS'N The Colorado Farmers' Mutual Aid Association is an organization created for the purpose of aiding the farmer and homesteader in Colorado. It locates and gives financial assistance to its members and persons who go upon the land to engage in farming.

The Association is organized for the purpose of establishing a headquarters and a money center for the colored farmers of Colorado. This Association has a membership which pays fifty cents initiation fee, and one dollar per month dues thereafter for twelve months. The one dollar per month paid by each member is creating a general fund to be invested in the development of farming industry in the State of Colorado. Our purpose is to build a permanent future, and that upon the land, and put our dependence and labor largely in the soil for our future resources. Whether or not you are interested in farming, you can be a member and factor of this movement. In this age united effort makes for wealth and the greatest success.

State Hist & Nat Hist Societies State House HANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO BERT WILLIAMS GOING TO LONDON Bert Williams, the comedian, who has been the principal feature of the Ziegfeld "Follies" productions for several years, is going to a clime over-seas, where the color line is not so strictly drawn as it is in this country. Recently contracts were signed which will make Mr. Williams the star of the new American Revue to be produced at the London Opera House. Lillian Lorraine, who has also been a Ziegfeld star in many of the productions of the festive Florenz, will, too, be a member of the cast of the London Opera House Revue. Clifford Fisher, the manager of the London Opera House, has been in this country making arrangements for the coming production at the big theater Oscar Hammerstein built in the English metropolis and he has induced both Mr. Williams and Miss Lorraine to affix their signatures to contracts calling for their appearance in his new revue. Williams was guaranteed by Manager Fisher that he would be treated "just like a white man" and absolutely no prejudice would be shown against him because of his color. He is to be featured in all the advertising, have his picture in the papers and see his name in big electric signs in front of the house. Ziegfeld as soon as he learned that Mr. Williams was to leave the "Follies," issued a search warrant for Frank Tinney, and when that comedian was discovered he was notified that the "Follies" manager would exercise the option which he holds on his services immediately. This means that Tinney will have to cancel his vaudeville engagements and join the "Follies" Company at once. Miss Lorraine is being rehearsed by Gus Sohike in a special act with a large chorus of pretty girls, and this act is to be one of the features of the London Opera Revue.—Freeman JACK JOHNSON TO BE TRIED NEXT MONTH Chicago, March 12.—Judge Carpenter, in the United States district court, today set the trial of Jack Johnson, the Negre pugilist charged with smuggling, for April 7.

Porter met at 1025-21st and organized what is known to be The Colorado Commercial Alliance, an organization to act for the commercial and social interest of Denver and Colorado, in the same capacity as the Denver Chamber of Commerce. Such an organization is timely and should be supported by the business and progressive people. The wage earning capacity of our people of Denver alone is more than $2,000,000 per year, and our business interest does not show that they receiv their proper percentage of its circulation. The object of the Colorado Commercial Alliance is to co-operate business and unite the trade and influences, and retain a greater proportion of the circulation of our earnings among Negro business and build up those worthy and capable, to the extent of furnishing employment. The Colorado Commercial Alliance will not engage in any business, as an organization. Its principal aim will be to encourage co-operation and encourage others who may desire to engage in any kind of business, anywhere in the city or state. The Association has established headquarters at 1025-21 st., where all kinds of information will be furnished and the public is invited to attend the Monday evening meetings, where discussions will be indulged in on all subjects, concerning our progress. The Associated membership fee is but $1.00 per year and every Negro doing business in Denver and Colorado should list their Business with the association and get the valuable literature that is to be circulated, concerning the opportunities for establishing much needed business for our accommodations and advancement. Desk room for rent to promoters and local agents. A large committee room has been fitted up for the promotion of enterprises, which will be rented for the amount of expenses of use per night.

RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Chicago, Ill.—The latest reports from the home of Jack Johnson are that the champion is still ill.

Montgomery, Ala., March 4 - A few days ago the local Negro Business League gave a reception to Hon, Seth Low, of New York City, in their league rooms. There were about two hundred of the leading colored men of Montgomery present. Mr. Low spoke to the members for about half an hour. In one respect the league of Montgomery sets a fine example for local leagues throughout the country in that it has a fine room set aside for the regular use of the members. The league meets regularly and co-operates with the white business league. Washington, D.C., March 4. Fred R. Moore was sworn in as United States Minister to and Consul-General at Liberia Monday afternoon. He is in Washington receiving instructions from the State Department.

The average NO 27 amount paid to Mississippi teachers is only $210 a year, while the average pay for the United States is $485. Supt. Powers says the bad showing of the state is due to preponderance of Negro children. His statistics show $738,356 children age in the state and of this number of 425,967 are Negroes, the latter have a majority of 114,678 over the whites. London.—Lecturing here on "The Heredity of Albinism and Piebaldism in Man," Prof. Karl Pearson attacked the Mendelian theory and said were it to be necessary for both parents to have latent albinism for their offspring to be albinos. By considering the occurrence of albinism in colored peoples one realized that in the phenomenon one was getting a considerable way toward the evolution of whites had been evolved from the Colored. He had no hesitation in saying that if one traced the ancestry of those present far enough back one would eventually come to the dark-skinned ancestors. Given a few generations and absolute power to do as he liked, Prof. Pearson declared he would get a white man from a dark race. He showed photographs of albinos and their Negro parents, but said it was impoissible to get a dark child from a white race. Kansas City, Mo., March 1. The Negro Civil Rights League has decided to carry the case of Dr. William J. Thompkins, who unsuccessfully sued a railroad for being given "Jim Crow" accommodations, to the United States Circuit Court at St. Paul, Minn. The case will probably be tried in May. On Saturday, December 31, 1910, Dr. Thompkins left to attend a patient at McAllister, Okla. He was in a Pullman car, but when he reached Vinita, Okla., he was taken from the car and placed in jail. When it was found that he was arrested without a warrant, the town magistrate fined him one dallar and costs, amounting to $15. On his return home he entered suit against the railroad for $100,000. A jury in the United States Court nere decided against him. A few weeks ago Attorneys W. C. Calloway appeared before the judges of the United States Court of Appeals, at St. Louis, to ask for a rehearing. The same was granted after Dr. Thompkins presented the court a printed abstract of the record of the trial in the lower court.

Newspaper Men Express Faith In Centennial State, Her Products, Her Men and Natural Beauty. Denver.—After electing Harry Lee Wilber president, and transacting other business, the following creed was adopted by the Denver Press Club. It was ordered printed and copies will be sent to the newspapers, commercial organizations, members of the Legislature and the Citizen's Protective League. We believe in the commonwealth of Colorado and the municipality of every city and town within its borders. We believe in the land of Colorado, whence spring the world-famed products of the farm and whence comes the metal wealth that moves the marts of the universe. We believe in the water of Colorado that, flowing from the virgin snows of the majestic crest of the continent, cools the parched lips of man and beast and gives new life to the thirsting plain. We believe in the air of Colorado that rejuvenates the old, keeps the young youthful and drives away scourge and plague. We believe in the commercial interests of Colorado and the men who guide and control them, each in his own sphere, and we believe it is our duty to aid and foster them, to consider each man an expert in his own field, to encourage industry, to criticise honestly, to crush that which is dishonest and unfair. We believe in the laws of Colorado and will endeavor to uphold them and increase respect for them and try to drive into outer darkness any who seek to evade or defy those laws. We believe in the manhood of Colorado and we will try to stamp out cowardice and unmanliness and anything that tends to bring disgrace on the commonwealth, in order that all good impulses may be quickened, that the sacred ideals of the state may be held in reverence and that we may stand forth among all these United States now and forevermore as Colorado the Clean.

Denver, Colo. “AFRO-AMERICAN * CULLINGS Down at St. Augustine, Fla, a young colored woman, Mary Carter Langston, has established for herself ‘@ successful hairdressing business, but she finds time also to do philan- \thropic work among people of her race. Her latest enterprise is a li- ‘brary for the colored boys of the town. She spends thrge nights a Week at the library, in a room in Tem- perance pall. She conceived the plan last year and on Christmas the little library was formally opened. At the start sixty boys were enrolled as members. She has a double interest in the work, because aside from her desire to do good she is herself a student and has written poetry, Some of her forefathers were Seminole In- dians. Her efforts to encourage her people to improve their minds are due to the fact that she realizes that as education is not compulsory in Flor- ida many colored boys are growing up in ignorance. During the summer, which she spent ‘at her trade in a fashionable resort, she enlisted her customers in her enterprise and ac- cumulated books and magazine sub- scriptions. These formed the foun- dation for the library. The women of St. Augustine who have charge of the free public library for white peo- ple are helping her. Many of the boys who use the library are caddies, flower peddlers or messengers. A girl who has been engaged three or four times may look as hopeless as a woman who is married. When the emancipation proclama- tion commission of Pennsylvania cele- brates in Philadelphia in September the fiftieth anniversary of the free- dom of the negro through the issue pf Lincoln's famous emancipation proclamation and the long and hard- fought Civil war which set free 4, 000,000 slaves, there will be present Thomas B. Patterson, one of the most industrious negro farmers in Penn- sylvania—a man among the most ad- vanced and enlightened of the 750,000 negroes who own farms in the United States, and who has reached this goal with the motto, “Show the world that the negro has the same ability as the white man, if he only gets the chance to prove it.” Patterson got “the chance to prove it” on a 60-acre run- down farm, near Weishample, in the Hegi 5 valley, Schuylkill county, and vith <8. Patter.on he proved that the motto was a truism. Patterson was appointed a member of the emancipation proclamation commis: sion, who, through Harry W. Bass, of Philadelphia, the first colored mem: ber of the Pennsylvania legislature, at the last session, succeded in get: ting $20,000 appropriated for the com- ing anniversary; and Patterson, as chairman of the committee on agricul. ture, will show by exhibits, made by the negroes of the state, that their work has not been in vain. If every young man could see the girl he is in love with eating her din- ner when nobody is watching her, the crop of old bachelors would increase. ‘Twenty Negro farmers around Falr- hope, Alabama, haye signed up to form a co-operative packing associa- tion. The object {s to kill and pack all hogs killed in their community. A. member of the firm will attend to the relling and shipping of the packed meat and the profits will be divided at the end of the season. The company will start with a capital stock of $6,- 000. An adaptation of the Crookes tube has been developed to tell from the outside whether the sparks wanted on the inside of a motor cylinder are being produced properly, Two enterprising Negroes of Austin, ‘Texas, have organized and chartered “The Texas Colonization and Develop- ment Company.” They have pur- chased 10,000 acres of land in Houston county, which is being sold in tracts of ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred acres to Negroes only. Some of the farmers have purchased tracts and built the town of Oldhom on I. and G, N.R.R. The founders and present of- ficers are Rev. L. L. Campbell and Dr. W. H. Crawford.

During the coming summer will oc- eur the fiftieth anniversary of the great Lincoln’s immortal proclamation freeing the negro slaves held in bond- age in the southern states, then in re- ‘dellion against the country in an at- tempt to secede from the Federal Union and set up an independent sov- ereignty constituted of the old slave states of America. Those were days that tried men’s souls sorely, but now at the end of a half century, probably the people of the south are vastly more satisfied over their own failure than the victors in the northern states. Of course, the negroes are the people who gained all there was to gain in the Lincoln proclamation. There are said to be 25,000 people of the African race in and near the city of Los Angeles. They are as a whole an industrious and law-abiding people and have proved their rights to their freedom almost universally by a Proper use of their opportunitles. ‘These people of American race are planning a great jubilee festival on the fiftieth anniversary of their lib- eration, and in a meeting of a pre- liminary kind held recently in Les Angeles, one of the speakers announc- ed that 12,000,000 negroes were unit- ing to give thanks to the Almighty for the blessings bestowed upon the ‘Tace during their fifty years as freed- ‘men. He referred to Booker T. Wash- ington and his thirty years of educa- tional effort at Tuskegee, where an institution costing $3,000,000 has been built up. This speaker went on to say: “In fifty years we may proudly boast 100 colleges and 1,000 high schools, more than $12,000,000 worth of church property, a million homes, 100,000 farms, 2,000 physicians and progress in various other lines.”— Los Angeles Times.

When the will of Caleb Nelson, a former slave, was probated some time ago in Allentown, Pa., it was found that he had an estate of upwards of $10,000. Born in the south, Nelson was valet of an officer in Pemberton’s army and was captured at Vicksburg; during the rest of the war he was a valet on General Grant’s staff. For many years he was head waiter at an Allentown hotel. He died aged 80. There are no elevators in the great house of ambition. Step by step up the long stairway, brother!

The Colorado Statesman has been so busy preparing good things for our readers that we have not stopped to take notice of the good things our subscribers are saying about us. On every hand this paper is being praised and complimented for its up-to-date news. Last week fifty copies of the Colorado Statesman was ordered from Washington, D. C. Last week an eight-page sheet of live news matter was delivered to our readers. Everybody said it was good reading, and the public ought to know. We want to thank you for your praise and promise you it will not swell our heads or hinder us from giving you the best Negro journal published in the West. All we ask you to do is to read it, invite others to read it and help us in pushing the circulation. We will every now and then stop to notice your appreciation, but our main purpose is upward and onward. The Colorado Statesman proposes to be in the vanguard of Negro journalism and give our readers "something worth while." Your part is to "boost" while we "push" and we will soon get to the top. SOUND BUSINESS ADVICE. There are several old adages, "business is business." "business before pleasure," etc., which, translated, means that business cannot be done on promises, songs or hopes, but only on sound, practical, punctual business methods. Contracts are agreements to pay and ought to be regarded as sacred obligations. This the Negro has not yet learned to do and because of this is fast losing the respect of the business world. Firm after firm and company after company is declining Negro patronage with thanks. Do you wonder why it is so? Listen; it is not prejudice, not caste, not social contact or social discrimination, none of these things; it is simply lack of certainty, reliability and promptness on the part of the Negro to make good his agreement. It is this desultoriness, laxity, slackness and tardiness that is causing the Negro to lose out in the business world. The commercial agencies, the trade journal, the collection agencies are all filing a bill of complaint against the Negro and the merchants and business men are heeding their advice. In other articles to follow we are going to show the practical working of these changes against the race. We are not scolding, nagging or knocking the race; we are but telling living truths, truths to help us and not let us fall in the esteem of those with whom we have to do business. Keep your eye upon this column for sound business advice. The Colorado Statesman is in the field of constructive race help and is doing its duty. Keep the files of your paper and follow carefully our talks upon this important subject. The first article will be found in last week's issue. KEEPING YOUR EYES OPEN. Open and penetrating eyes are essential to real up-to-date progress. Seeing details and adding them to your already acquired store of knowledge, is the acme of business success or any other kind of success that may be named. The Holy Writ has only condemnation for the man who "has eyes and see not," and words of praise and promise for the man who has eyes and sees with them. Seeing to advantage is the boon of every man. There are so many good and new things to see in this growing world that a man ought never to use his precious time and splendid faculty in simply seeing the evil. The viewpoint or vantage ground for observation is also necessary. Some people never place themselves at the right place to get a focus. A pool room, divelor gambling parlor is a poor place to see the great transaction of commerce. A card table or bar room is a poor place to see educational, literary or scientific progress, and bad associates and low levels are poor places to see spiritual visions. Get the right viewpoint and train your optics and thoughts in the right direction and you will see thousands of opportunities and possibilities where one does not occur to you now. What the Negro needs now and needs sadly is a new vision and a new viewpoint in order that he may see the wonderful changes and chances that are taking place around him every day. Read this paper and keep posted as to how you and yours may become a part in the various things that are transpiring every hour. If you have eyes, then see. It is our duty to point it out for you.

A coxcomb once said to a barber's boy, "Did you ever shave a monkey?" "Why, no, sir," replied the boy, "never; but if you will please to sit down, I will try." A man would save a great deal of valuable time if a list of addresses important in his business were as easy to remember as a bunch of funny stories—Washington Star A philosopher is a man who can look Hard Luck in the face and think of the value the experience he is having will be to him in later years. THANK YOU. Philosophy. Make Savings From Small Weekly Wages By I. P. STEWART, London, Eng. What self-help and thrift can do for a man is strikingly demonstrated by the case of John Morrison, a Yorkshire carpenter, who, although his wages had never exceeded $8.75 a week, had been able to leave behind him the substantial sum of $15,000, every penny of it the fruits of saving. When he married, a little over forty years ago, he looked around to see what economies he could effect. He found that he had been spending at least $1.25 a week on beer and tobacco; these he could very well dispense with. That meant a saving of $65 a year. And this was the nucleus of his fortune. A few weeks later his wages were raised from $7.50 a week to $8.75 weekly. He could rub along without the extra $1.25, and was thus able to put by $130 a year. When his savings had amounted to $500, he bought two cottages, borrowing three-fourths of the purchase money and paving off the loan out of the rents. He was a man of property now. The appetite for thrift took full possession of him. He was fond of gardening, and he decided to turn his hobby and his spare time into money. He rented half an acre of land; his wife opened a shop for the sale of the produce, and the first year he was able to increase his savings to $5 a week, with which, in two years' time, he was able to buy two more houses. And thus simply his fortune grew. House was added to house, each paying for its own purchase with its rent, until at sixty-nine he was able to retire on $750 a year, almost twice his highest wages as workman, and when he died to leave a good $15,000 behind him. And what John Morrison could do, and did, others have done. Only a few weeks ago a workingman confessed in a court of law that he had already saved $3,000 out of wages which had never exceeded $7.50 a week. "How did you do it?" asked the magistrate. "By a little self-denial, your worship," the man answered, and then proudly added: "And I brought up four children, too; and now there's only me and the wife. I'm going to buy an annuity with it, which, they say, will come to more than $350 a year." BachelorShouldWear Tag of Some Kind By Dorcas Gallienne, San Francisco Bachelors ought to be tagged, because there never was a woman between the ages of sixteen and sixty who at some stage of the game did not sigh and say inwardly: "I wonder if he's—" And why should n't she? Women all have the same ideal! You may raise your voice loud and strong for "votes for women." I may coo in dulcte tones of "art for art's sake," but you know as well as I know that we are all dying to stay at home and be a slave for the "right man," and shower all the tenderness of our souls upon the little one. But because youth is fleeting and Cupid a drone we get panicky the first pop into whanahood. We don't know who is who—and we blunder along dreaming dreams. Then nine times out of ten we get shoved into the jam jar with the news of: "Why, he's married and has six children." At this crisis some of us fall for the "first chance." Others of us wait around in moody cynicism until the "last call for the altar" rouses us into action, and worst of all, there are some of us who never hear even the faintest echo of the "masculine want." I am smiling as my pen runs along. I'm thinking of a nice fat old maid of my acquaintance who stands A No. 1 in "medicine." Incidentally she is frozen to the core: I can hear her say: "Drat the men!!! And you, you hussy, you ought to be ashamed of yourself." But nevertheless I know that we women are "the female of the species" first, last and always, and if we could be sure that (individually speaking) the man that "takes our eye" is a bachelor and that we are not treading on the private lawns of our sisters, we might arrive at the proper ways and means of turning "our ideal" into the right pasture where he could be kept corralled and happy for the rest of his three score and ten. Improving Health by Taking Exercise By E. R. RICKARD, Boston, Mass. Nature is such a natural and unpresumptuous wonder worker that we hardly seem impressed by the miracles that she performs right under our eyes. I have in mind especially now the remarkable results that have been obtained and are being obtained through nature's own methods in relieving men of their physical ailments and weaknesses. Within a few months I have put on ten pounds in weight. This result in spite, of the fact that for the past six years I have been under weight and never put on a pound, although I dieted and slept sufficiently at all times. My late increase in weight and improvement in health were obtained through deep breathing, full relaxation and full contraction exercise, under competent direction, which is really the natural way for the body to get these things, and was the everyday way, before we were perverted through our sedentary habits and tense, fast living. But my improvements were insignificant when compared to other men who were in worse condition than myself to start with. I know of a large number of men who have, through these same methods, been relieved of their nervousness, insomnia, obesity, constipation, headaches, rheumatism, anemia and almost every affliction in materia medica. I have often seen men who were run down to the verge of nervous prostration built up to robust health and strength. If some physician were to procure such results by his prescription the achievement would be the talk of the town, but when nature works these wondrous results we accept them as a matter of fact and think nothing of it. Helpful Little Facts About Catching Cold By George F. Butler, A.M., M.D., Chicago At the risk of destroying one of our dearest medical idols, I am bound to say that taking cold is largely a bugbear, made much of, but plays an unimportant part in the causation of catarrh. Taking cold is frequently the result of taking too much food. It is another name for foul air, an overloaded stomach and a disordered liver. Lack of proper nourishment, indigestion, improper oxygenation and mental depression are by far the more direct and important causes than mere exposure. The proper care of the skin is the best preventive of catarrh. The daily sponge bath with friction brush or with exposure of the body to sun and air is simple and helps to prevent and cure catarrh and other diseases. Make Savings From Small Weekly Wages By I.P.

The Colorado Statesman wishes her success. The subjoined article is taken from the Hannibal, Missouri, Record, one of the newsiest exchanges that comes to The Statesman's office: "Mrs. Esther Morris of Denver has decided to remain in Hannibal during March, and the ladies will have an opportunity to get their spring millinery from one of their own race who is an artist in her line of work." Mrs. N. J. Skillern, in response to a telegram telling of the serious illness of her father, Meredith Roberts, departed for Oakley, Kansas, her home, last Saturday, arriving in time to see her father alive. He died Sunday, aged 76 years, full of honors and surrounded by several members of the family. Mr. Roberts and his worthy family have been residents of Oakley for a number of years, highly respected and honored. He was a man of many sterling qualities and is sincerely mourned by a large circle of friends. Robert Harris, the Rocky Ford Negro sentenced to death for the killing of Night Marshal J. B. Craig and Officer Jacob Kipper, July 4, 1911, has applied for a rehearing. Harris' attorney bases the appeal on a claim that the trial judge's failure to instruct the jury on manslaughter was prejudicial to his client. Harris shot and killed the officers after they had entered ais home to quell a disturbance. His own revolver refused to discharge, and, wresting a gun from Craig's pocket, he shot both officers. Many of our readers are interested in his case. Brothers James Mason of Arapahoe, C. H.

We have heard it from the traveling public that the colored waiters, especially those of the make-up of the above named gentlemen—is far more satisfactory than that of the whites, on account of their quick service and unlimited courtesy. There is no reason why the average colored waiter should not strive to please the public and thus maintain a high per cent. of the efficiency of the craft.

Ireland's Music HE story of Ireland's music is, indeed, the story of Ireland. So important a part has the harp played in Erin's annals, so closely interwoven is music with HE story of Ireland's music is, indeed, the story of Ireland. So important a part has the harp played in Erin's annals, so closely interwoven is music with her affairs, educational, political, social, and religious, that to omit mention of her minstrels and minstrelsy while writing of Erin would be practically to rob Ireland of her history. From the beginning, centuries before Christ, music held a high place in Irish life. The Milesians brought the harp with them. The bards enjoyed official rank. Rich lands were set aside for their maintenance and they were immune from tribute. Laws and chronicles were written in poetry and were recited at the great festivals held at Tara. The ancient name of Tara itself, Temur, was derived from "te," signifying melody, and "mur," a wall. Temur, "the wall of music," was so called from its celebrity for melody above the other palaces of Ireland. The Milesians came directly from Spain, but they had been wanderers for centuries, and their civilizations most resembled that of Egypt. Hecataeus, the Egyptian historian, writing of Ireland about the year B. C. 500, says: "They say that Latona was born here, and, therefore, that they worshiped Apollo above all other gods. . . . That there is a city Hikweise consecrated to this god whose citizens are most of them hammers, who, playing upon the chant sacred hymns to Apollo, carp the temple." Proof of the affinity between Egypt and Ireland is preserved in Sen Egypt tured harp at Ullard, in a scalp-kenny. The Irish harp is county Kill- of Assyria and Egypt, like those pillar. Another peculiararity was that treble notes with upper played the Senachus Mansis left hand. In the fifth century, laws compiled in were prescribed, special penalties a harp or harp for the non-return of Music the Danes flourished in Ireland until seventeenth century commenced to make de- at the dams on her coasts. These began and close of the eighth century period continued for about 200 years. A quality of Irish music, which up to this time was religious in its pur- poses, now changed somewhat. From this period came some of the best bate songs. "They stream and crash up the ear like the warriors of a hundred glens meeting," writes Thomas Davis, "and you are borne with them to battle, and they and you charge and struggle amid cries and battle axes and stinging arrows." Just Brian Boru's Harp. as the disciplined treads of phalanx and legion impressed itself on the rhythmical hexameters of the Greek and Roman epics, the dash and fierce daring of Malachi, Murrogh and Brian Boru seem to have been breathed into the stirring war tunes that commemorate the deeds of these Irish heroes. The last of the bards was Turlough O'Carolan. Oliver Goldsmith, when a bright-eyed child, was presented to the ancient Celtic poet. Carolan, blind and hoary with age, was a fitting personification of the honored line of which he was the last. Goldsmith never forgot this interview, when the mantle of song was transferred, so to speak, from the ancient minstrels of Ireland to the new. Many of Carolan's compositions are preserved in Moore's melodies, among the best known being "The Young May Moon," "Fly Not Yet," and "Oh! Slame Not the Bard." Lesson in Gaelic Legenda The first years of the twentieth century have brought something new and reviving to the literature of the world. It is a great fountain of Gaelle legend that has been eagerly welcomed, for there is a reaction against nineteenth century materialism which ends to express itself in the love of symbols. This great store of newly-married legend has stimulated the imagination of the world with strange tales and passions and phantasies and fairy kingdoms. It has resulted in a terrible movement." How much the world owes to the imagination of this ice many people are unaware. We we know the divine comedy it existed in Gaelle legends of the weirdurgatory seen by the pilgrims whoourmeyed to Louis Derg in a boatashioned from a hollow tree. Ireland's Foremost Anniversary. For more than fifteen hundred years he people whose ancestors he certed have rejoiced to honor Sir Patrick's memory on March 17. No other anniversary can ever quite take place in true Irish hearts. ```markdown ``` WAS WELL CALLED GOD'S MESSENGER HE earth today, in its orbital motion, greets the Goddess of Spring, and coincidentally with her comes the anniversary of one of the great names in human Saint Patrick HE earth today, in its orbital motion, greets the Goddess of Spring, and coincidentally with her comes the anniversary of one of the great names in human history—Saint Patrick. The record of this great patriarch, missioner, and apostle, is proof positive of the designs of God in the spread of the gospel. He confides not to the mighty of this earth, but rather to the humble, the virtuous and the believing. He chose for his apostles the humble fishermen of Galilee, confiding to them the plan of redemption in the Christianizing of the world. And so he chose Saint Patrick as the messenger of his gospel. And well did Patrick fulfil his mission and redeem the purport of his vow that the emerald gem of the western world should become the Mecca from which men drank at the fountain of knowledge, and returning to their respective homes, be the messengers of the gospel of peace under the new dispensation. So zealous were the works of Saint Patrick that from A. D. 432, when he landed in Ireland, to 493, when he died at the advanced age of 120 years, the whole nation was Christianized, churches and colleges bedecked the land, and the youth of Britain, Scotland and France repaired to the hospitable isle, to gain the advantages of advanced education. Thence, on to the ninth century, the foundation of faith and learning, laid by Saint Patrick, gave to the country the appellative distinction of the land of saints and scholars. It was in Ireland King Alfred the Great of England received his education in the ninth century, and through the missionary successors of Patrick, the Britton, the Picts and Scots of Caledonia and adjacent isles were converted to Christianity. Though almost fifteen centuries have elapsed since the ministrations of Patrick began, his work goes bravely on, and the faith which inspired his zeal finds willing disciples in his followers of today. "His name is written in the diptychs of far-distant churches in charity's gold letters." From Australia to Labrador, from Canada to China; aye, in the remotest islands of the sea, the missionary labors of the Celt are traced today, and so the name of Ireland's patron saint keeps pace with the rising and the setting of the sun.

HOUSE CONTAINS FEW ARTISTIC FURNISHINGS. Seemingly In Our Earlier History Each Administration Was Marked With a Zest to Throw Out Old—At Public Auction. While the White House at the national capital has been the home of all our 26 presidents with the single exception of Washington, the old mansion is painfully lacking in historical furnishings and in the art treasures which should have accustomed their visit. gulished occupies housed its distin- plate, a few prints. Aside from some brille-a-brille pieces of china, a little of Wellington and the famous portrait signed Washington which Mrs. Middleton saw from the barbaric faeces of the British in 1814, there is nothing in the furnishings of the White House which ante-dates that disastrous event. After its destruction at that time rebuilding operations were begun the next year, in 1815, and many of the incomplete plans of the original structure were then carried into effect. The imposing north and south porches were begun, the wings at the east and west of the house were added, and storerooms were made under the porches and in the wings. Before the days of mammoth refrigerators the early presidents utilized the space under the north porch as a cold storage wine cellar. The classic, colonial white marble mantles, which show grace the green and blue parlor and which the architect, McKlan, retained when remodeling the building during the Roosevelt administration, were set in the fireplaces of the old state dining room and the blue parlor when the house was rebuilt in 1815. They replaced pine mantles which, from want of funds, were used in the original building. The first floors were of solid marigany, for both Washington and Jefferson, to whom the stately beauty of the president's house, as well as that of the capitol, is to be credited primarily, had a fitting sense of the dignity of the residence which was to be occupied by the chief executive of the young republic and planned accordingly, although the records now on file in the bureau of public buildings and grounds at Washington show that they were almost hopeless hampered by congress' lack of appreciation of the need of money for the construction of these as well as that of all the other public buildings. The floors of the president's house were burned beyond repair by the British soldiers, as were many of the doors, and in the rebuilding oak floors had to take the place of the original material, but the doors and window frames were made of he handsome mahogany which we see there today. When Mrs. Wilson became mistress of the White House she did not find very much in the mansion of long historic lineage. Of course, the portraits of the presidents, which have been painted usually by the order of the incumbent executive and presented to the mansion, are of great historic value, even though some of them are not of much artistic merit. While the pictures of all the presidents hang upon the White House walls, in the main corridor and rooms of state, but eight of those of the women who have been mistresses in the executive mansion have been similarly honored Six of these are in the ground floor corridor, where Mrs. Roosevelt had them hung that they might be seen by all visitors. The life-sized paintings of Martha Washington, by Andrews, hangs in the red room, and the picture of Dolly Madison, presented last year by the Colonial Dames, stands on an easel in the blue parlor. Seemingly in our earlier history each administration was marked with a zeal to throw out the old—at public auction—and to fill the house with the new. Consequently there is not a vestige of anything within the four walls which could in any way be connected with the far greater art of the distinguished families who have lived in the president's house. Most Unkind Remark. "Stump speaking is the harsest work in the world," said Sorator Beveridge. "It is especially hard" he continued, smiling, "when there are hecklers in the audience." "A friend of mine the other day was getting on famously in a sump speech. "Gentlemen,' he shouted, 'a man is known by his works." "And he paused impressively. But a heckler took advantage of the cause to yell: "Then you must be a gas work."—New York Tribune. An Aged Pensioner: A man 115 years old has asked for an increase of pension under the new law. He is a Mr. Wise, of Beverok Brook, N. Y. He has just been examined by a Port Jarvis physician on the application of Mr. Wise for an increase of pension. He is a veeran of the Mexican and the civil wars, and has reached the age of 115 years. The physician says he will report favorably on the case. Mr. Wise now receives a pension of $30 a month. OBJECTS TO BE REVERED Arlington National Cemetery Contains Many Things of Interest Unseen by Casual Visitor. There are more objects of reverent interest in Arlington national cemetery than the casual visitor sees. Among these are the graves of George Washington Parke Custis and his wife, born Mary Lee Fitzhugh. They lie in a thick oakgrown spot, densely shaded in summer, by the edge of shadowy ravine, in the midst of private's section, and some west of the tomb of the unmarried son ever stray that way. Few periare marked by grave way. The graves uncens, the white marble monscribed, the taller of which is in Died October 10, 1857. Blessed Are the Merciful, for They Shall Obtain Mercy. The shorter monument is inscribed: Mary L. Custis, Born April 23, 1758. Died April 23, 1853. Blessed Are the Pure in Heart, for They Shall See God. At the base of the tombs grow lilies and myrtle, culled from the gardens of old Arlington, and, no doubt, planted at these graves by Mary Ann Randouph Custis, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Custis, and the wife of Gen. Robert E. Lee. The man whose bones rest under the taller monument was the builder of Arlington mansion. His Father was John Parke Custis, son of Daniel Parke Custis of White House, Va, and his mother was Eleanor Calvert of Mount Alry, Prince Georges county, Md. His paternal grandmother was Mrs. George Washington of Mount Vernon, and he was the adopted son of George Washington. Soon after the marriage of John Parke Custis and Nellie Calvert, Mr. Custis bought from Gerald Alexander a tract of land opposite Georgetown. The only house on the property was one owned by the Alexander family, and in which it is believed Gerald Alexander lived. Its site is covered by the experiment gardens of the department of agriculture, and a few bricks found in the site were put in the wall of one of the government buildings in the experiment grounds. NOT CROWDED WITH PEOPLE One Corner in Washington That Is Piled Up With Appurtenances of Civilization. The northeast corner of First and B streets northeast, opposite the southeast angle of the senate office building, is a busy one. It is not that so many cars or that so many persons pass that way, but standing there through the long day, and the long night, is a crowd of the appurtenances of civilization. And close together they stand near the north curb. In the parking there grows a small tree dressed in a slatted tree box. Close in under its branches is a big, gaping, open-mouthed box of sheet metal painted brilliant red and in tall white letters labeled "Waste Paper." Close by this is a green painted letterbox, not clamped to a lamppost, but clamped to one of those short letterbox posts which one may see at intervals around the city. Close to the letterbox is a big cavernous looking metal box. It, too, is a mail box, but its special duty is to receive and to give up—to the postman, papers and parcels that will not pass the mouth of the letter box. Close by this group of utilities is a fire hydrant. Standing at the corner was an old Washingtonian, who said: "The authorities don't seem to have quite finished up this corner. They might have put up in connection with these things, to sort of keep them company, a lamppost with a red light and a fire alarm box, a police telephone and a patrol box and a drinking fountain. While they were at it they might also have put in an electric signal switch tower and a weather bureau klosk." Simplified "Spelling" Debate. Simplified "Spelling" Debate. Can it be possible that there is anything in the advocacy of spelling "reform" that is detrimental to the logical faculty and the sense of humor? Here is W. W. Skeat, who not only asks me whether I think that Tennyson would have objected to "simplified spelling," but solemnly challenges me to "produce my evidence." It may be that I shall best convey to Mr. Skeat an idea of what he must really forgive my calling the absurdity of his challenge by asking him, by way of an "Irish" reply, whether he thinks that Beethoven would have objected to "ragtime," and by requesting him to produce his evidence for his opinion on that point. Happily for the author of "In Memoriam," he lived and died before any "Sosleti" had been called into existence for the purpose of defacing the orthography of his mother tongue, and if Mr. Skeat chooses to think that he would have preferred to spell wild "wield," sky "scie," and so forth, my only "evidence" to the contrary is the simple fact that he did not do so.—The Book seller. Willing to Please. "I want some oysters." "Very well, madame." "Very fresh." "Oh, yes, madame." "Not too large." "Yes, madame." "Nor too little." "All right." "Above all, not fat." The Dealer (getting impatient)—I shall attend to it, but you have forgotten to say, madame, whether you wish them with or without pearls.—Le Rire, Paris.

ADOO SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY These are the ten men whom President Wilson has appointed to be his chief advisers. An extra chair was placed in the cabinet room for Mr. Wilson, the first man to hold the newly-created portfolio of labor. MEMBERS OF PRES. WILSON'S CABINET Brief Sketches of the Advisers of the New President, Who Have Been Confirmed Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, March 6.—President Wilson yesterday sent to the Senate the names of the following as members of the cabinet, and they were confirmed: WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, of Nebraska, Secretary of State, of New York, Secretary of the Treasury. LINDLEY M. GARRISON, of New Jersey, Secretary of War. JAMES McREYNOLDS, of Tennessee Attorney, General see, Attorney General. REPRESENTATIVE ALBERT BURLESON, of Texas, Postmaster General. JOSEPHUS DANIELS, of North Carolina, Secretary of the Navy, FRANKLIN K. LANE, of California, Secretary of the Interior, DAVID HOUSTON, of Missouri, Secretary of Agriculture, REPRESENTATIVE WILLIAM C. REDFIELD, of New York, Secretary of Commerce, REPRESENTATIVE WILLIAM B. WILSON, of Pennsylvania, Secretary of Labor. Mr. Bryan's Career. William J. Bryan has been so much in the public eye for a good many years that a sketch of his career seems almost superfluous. Born in Salem, Ill., in 1860, he was graduated with highest honors from Illinois college at Jacksonville in 1881 and received his master's degree in 1884. In 1883 he was given the degree of LL. B. by Union College of Law, Chicago. After practicing law in Jacksonville and Lincoln, Neb., he served as a member of Fifty-second and Fifty-third Congresses. Having written the "silver plank" for the Democratic national convention of 1896 and made a sensational speech, he was nominated for President, but was defeated by William McKinley. Nominated again in 1900, he was again beaten by McKinley, and then established the Commoner and made a tour of the world. Nominated a third time in 1908, he was defeated by W. H. Taft. Mr. Bryan married Mary Elizabeth Baird in 1884. He has done much lecturing and written several books. McAdoo, the Tunnel Builder. William Gibbs McAdoo, though a lawyer by profession, is known to most people as the builder of the great system of railway tunnels of New York city. He was born near Marietta, Ga., in 1863 and was educated at the University of Tennessee. In 1885 he was admitted to the bar, and the same year he married Sarah Houston Fleming of Chattanooga. He entered the practice of law in New York in 1892, and since 1901 has been interested chiefly in tunnel construction there. He is president of the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Company. Lindley, M. Garrison. The selection of Lindley M. Garrison, vice-chancellor of New Jersey, to be secretary of war is in line with President Wilson's idea that the holder of that position should be a man of unusual executive ability. He is a close friend of Mr. Wilson. Mr. Garrison was born in Camden, N. J., No- vember 28. 1864. He is a son of Rcv. Joseph F. Garrison, an Episcopal clergyman, and a brother of Justice Charles G. Garrison of the New Jersey Supreme Court. He was appointed to the chancery court in June, 1904, and reappointed by Chancellor Manson Pitney, now a justice of the United States Supreme Court, in 1911, for a term of seven years. James C. McReynolds. In picking James Clark McReynolds for the position of attorney general, Mr. Wilson selected a man who has had a lot of experience as a "trust buster." He is a native of Elkton, Ky., where he was born in 1862, and a graduate of Vanderbilt university and the law school of the University of Virginia. From 1903 to 1907 he was assistant attorney general of the United States. He then returned to private practice, but has been retained as special assistant to the attorney general in matters relating to the enforcement of the anti-trust laws. Mr. McReynolds is unmarried. Albert S. Burleson. Albert Sidney Burleson already has served seven consecutive terms as congressman from the Tenth district of Texas and was re-elected to the Sixty-third Congress. He was born in San Marcos, Texas, in 1863, and was educated at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, Baylor University and the University of Texas, and was admitted to the bar in 1884. He was assistant city attorney of Austin for several years before going to Congress. Mrs. Burleson was Miss Adele Stelner of Austin. Josephus Daniels. Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, is the one newspaper man given place in the cabinet. He has also been active in politics and is the member of the Democratic national committee for North Carolina. Mr. Daniels was born in 1862 at Washington, N. C., and began his newspaper career at the age of 18 as editor of the Wilson (N. C.) Advance. In 1885 he became editor of the Raleigh State Chronicle, which nine years later he consolidated with the North Carolinian and the News and Observer. Franklin K. Lane. Franklin Knight Lane has been a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission since 1905, and this experience is believed to have fitted him for the executive and judicial tasks in administering the public land laws of the country. Born in Prince Edward Island in 1864, he received his education in the University of California and became a lawyer in San Francisco. Prior to his designation to the commission he was a Democratic political leader in California. He was Democratic candidate for governor, being defeated by a narrow margin. Subsequently he was the Democratic caucus candidate for United States senator. David F. Houston. In David Franklin Houston, chancellor of Washington University, St. Louis, Wilson has a secretary of agriculture who is familiar with the processes of advancing scientific farming and allied questions in this country. Mr. Houston was president of the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College for a number of years, and has taught in several other educational institutions. He was born in Monroe, N. C. in 1866, was educated at South Carolina College and Harvard, and received the degree of LL. D. from Tulane and the University of Wisconsin. He married Miss Helen Beall of Austin, Texas, in 1895. William C. Redfield. William Cox Redfield has just completed his first term as a congressman, but he has been prominent in the politics of New York for a good many years. In 1902 and 1903 he was commissioner of public works for the Borough of Brooklyn. In private life he is a manufacturer of ventilating and heating apparatus and engines. Mr. Redfield was born in 1858 in Albany, N. Y., was educated in the schools of that city, and removed to New York in 1877 and to Brooklyn in 1883. William B. Wilson. Pennsylvania's representative in the cabinet is William Bauchop Wilson of Blossomburg, named for secretary of labor. He was born in Blantyre, Scotland, in 1862, and came to this country in 1870. The next year he began working in the Pennsylvania coal mines, and from early manhood he has been actively interested in trade union affairs. For eight years he was international secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America. He is now engaged in farming. Mr. Wilson has been a member of the last three Congresses, representing the Fifteenth district of his state. He is married and has nine children. DEMOCRATS HOLD CAUCUSES. Champ Clark Nominated for Re-Election as Speaker of the House. Washington.—Speaker Clark was renominated. Representative Underwood of Alabama again was chosen chairman of the ways and means committee, the entire Democratic personnel of the tariff-making body named and all the House officers renominated at a harmonious six-hour caucus of the Democrats of the House of the Sixty-third Congress. The caucus was held in the House chamber and 270 of the 290 House Democrats were present. The following were nominated for ratification by the House when it meets in extra session on April 1: Speaker—Champ Clark of Missouri. Ways and Means Committee—Representative Underwood of Alabama, chairman. Clerk of the House—South Trimble, Kentucky. Doorkeeper—J. J. Sinnott, Virginia. Sergeant-at-Arms—Robert B. Gordon, Ohio. Postmaster—William M. Dunbar, Georgia. Chaplain—Rev. Henry N. Couden, Washington, D. C. MUCH FOOD SEIZED Pure Food Law Violations in Last Year. In Several Instances Cases Reported for Criminal Action Based on Shipments of Seized Goods Found to Be Poisonous Ingredients. Washington.—Fourteen hundred and fifty-nine violations of the federal pure food law were reported to the department of justice for action in the last year. Of the total number of cases, 991 were criminal and 467 were recommendations for the seizure of adulterated or misbranded foods and drugs. There were 741 cases prosecuted by United States attorneys in the year. Of the criminal cases prosecuted, 381 resulted in convictions and twenty-three were decided adversely to the government. Fines were imposed in the criminal cases amounting to more than $14,000, and in addition costs were assessed, generally against the defendants. Of the cases reported, 407 were pending in the courts at the close of the year, and 378 were under consideration by the department of justice. The first jail sentences for violations of this act were imposed last year, and there was a tendency on the part of the courts to impose larger fines for first offenses. The maximum fine of $200 was imposed in twelve cases, and there were also imposed one fine of $150, 36 of $100 each, two fines of $75 each and 61 fines of $50 each. In 1911 the maximum fine of $200 was imposed in 16 cases, and there were imposed four fines of $150 each, one fine of $125, 26 fines of $100 each, one fine of $75 and 33 fines of $50 each. There was also imposed a fine of $400 in three cases prosecuted, where several adulterated and misbranded articles were contained in one shipment. While there was a slight decrease in the number of maximum fines imposed, there was a substantial increase in the number of cases in which fines of $100 and $50 were imposed. In the seizure cases decrees of condemnation and forfeiture were entered against 294 shipments of adulterated and misbranded goods. In accordance with the usual practice, whenever seized articles of food were found to consist of filth, decomposed or putrid substances, or to contain poisonous or deleterious ingredients which might render them injurious to health, the department has insisted that orders be entered directing the destruction of the goods. One hundred and three shipments of this class were destroyed. On the other hand, in the class of cases where the adulteration or misbranding was such that it could be cured by relabeling, the courts have usually released the seized goods to claimants after relabeling, whenever claimants have appeared and consented to the entry of decrees of condemnation and forfeiture, paid the costs of the proceedings and filed bond, as provided for by Section 10 of the act, that the goods would not thereafter be sold or otherwise disposed of contrary to law. One hundred and sixty-two shipments of this class of cases were released in the year after relabeling and the filling of satisfactory bonds. There were seized and condemned shipments of sardines, figs, herring, dried apples, dried cherries, condensed milk, pie filling, cold cream ointment, soft drinks, candies, cordials, chestnuts, oysters, tomato pulp, frozen eggs, bottled water, apples, peanuts, turpentine, sparkling burgundy, brandy, vanilla extract, dried blackberries, dried eggs, liquors, butter, vinegar, prunes, witch hazel and hay. In several instances cases were reported for criminal prosecution based on shipments of seized goods found to consist of filth, decomposed or putrid substances, or to contain added poisonous or deleterious ingredients which might render them injurious to health. Four cases were discontinued because of lack of evidence to maintain them. In eighteen cases seizures were not made because the goods had been disposed of prior to the filing of libels. In one seizure case the court refused to issue process, and in another the proceedings were dismissed. SUGAR CONSUMPTION. Each person in the United States last year has used 87 pounds of sugar, the per capita consumption of this article having increased from 80 pounds in 1910, 59 pounds in 1900 and 39.5 pounds in 1880, says statistics gathered by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. The total sugar consumption this year will exceed 8,000,000,000 pounds, whereas in 1900 only 4,500,000,000 pounds were used. The cost of sugar to the consumer this year will approximate $400,000,000, which is more than $1,000,000 a day. One-fourth of this sugar came from the United States proper, another fourth from Hawaii and Porto Rico, and the remainder from foreign countries, chiefly Cuba. The large increase this year in the production of beet sugar in this country is noted, 1,400,000,000 pounds having been raised, against 1,000,000,000 pounds in 1910 and less than half that amount in 1905. Sharper Than He Thought. Nell—He actually told me I was full. Belle—I suppose you convinced him to the contrary. Belle—Certainly. I've cut him ever aline. BUSINESS SYSTEM REORGANIZED. The United States treasury on Feb. 1 revolutionized its business system and placed the ordinary fiscal transactions of the federal government on a modern basis. The change, it is declared, will prevent in large measure the temporary tying up in the vaults of the sub-treasuries of a large amount of money available for circulation without increasing the deposits of the government in the banks. The daily government receipts from customs, internal revenue and other sources are now placed with the national bank depositories to the credit of the treasurer of the United States. All checks of government disbursing officers are drawn on the treasurer and will be payable at any sub-treasury or national bank depository in any part of the country. A national bank depository paying one of these checks may immediately reimburse its specified government account from daily receipts of customs or internal revenue deposited with it and forward to the nearest sub-treasury only the remainder of the receipts. This extends the clearing house principle to the government's business system. In the past all receipts in the shape of checks for customs duties or internal revenue taxes have been forwarded to the sub-treasuries for conversion into actual cash. This process, which, it is said, drew money into the treasury unnecessarily for a limited time at least, will now be avoided. Also, it is declared, the change will obviate the payment by pensioners and others of exchange on government checks. NAVY RECRUITING GAINS The navy department has announced that hereafter it will be possible for applicants for enlistment in the navy to be examined in cities where there is a marine recruiting office, but no navy recruiting office. The new order will apply in Peoria, Ill.; Rock Island, Ill.; Lansing, Mich.; Tiffin, O.; Front Royal, Va.; Grand Forks, N. D., and St. Joseph, Mo. There will, however, be no recruiting for the marine corps at navy offices, as the complement of the marine corps is filled. Men whose preference is for the navy may apply in any of the cities mentioned and be given a preliminary examination. If accepted they will be sent at government expense to the nearest recruiting station to complete their enlistment. The navy now is short about 5,000 men, or between 9 and 10 per cent. of its authorized strength. The British navy is short about 12,000 men, or about the same proportion, but the British face greater difficulties because their larger number must be drawn from areas in which recruits previously have been gathered and are thus practically exhausted. Recruiting in the United States navy is found to show a decided gain, the greatest single factor in enlistments, according to navy officials, being the recommendation of men in the service or who have been discharged. RETAIN THE LARIAT. The lariat has been retained by the cavalry equipment board as a part of the new equipment of mounted troops. As cavalry marches for a considerable period of years repeatedly have traversed regions affording facilities for rail transportation of forage, and as plenty of forage is laid down at the picket lines in maneuver camps, a great many officers accept these conditions as those that probably always will prevail. As a natural result many have given little attention to the problem of subsisting horses in the field under circumstances that always have prevailed in war and probably always will—lack of transportation. There are those that have maintained that the growth of rail and water transportation in every direction during recent years has created the probability that our cavalry in future wars can look confidently to the sample supply of forage, and therefore a resort to grazing will be unnecessary. This view has been disturbed as recently as last year, when for several months our cavalry was confronted by the possibility of service in Mexico, a country strikingly barren of transportation facilities in most districts. It is for these reasosns that the lariat has been retained, in order that horses under restraint may be put out to graze. Making an Impression Upon Him. Bob Dwyer, fresh from college, opened a real estate office in an attractive suburban neighborhood and hoped to make his fortune. For days he sat undisturbed in his little office, staring out at the dusty roads or twiddling his thumbs. On the afternoon of the fourth day he saw a man crossing Ogden boulevard diagonally, headed for his door. Surely this was a customer. He must be made to feel that business was flourishing. As the man stepped over the threshold Bob had the telephone receiver at his ear and was talking earnestly into the transmitter. "That's correct," he said as the man stood before him. "Right. We will accept your fifteen cash tomorrow and let the thirty thousand remainder stand on a ten year mortgage. What? Yes, I'll bring the deed around at 11 tomorrow morning. Good morning." Bob hung up the receiver and turned an important visage to the visitor. "Why, I just came over," said the man, grinning, "to connect your telephone instrument with the wires."—Harper's Weekly.

Marking Arrival of Age. When I get to be old I ain't goln' to find it out by countin' up to see, nor by my whiskers, nor by my gums, nor none of them signs. They'll all fool you. No, sir! But one of these times I'll get thrown down, and I won't bounce back. Then I'll know it all over. When a man gets that way, he's old. Old, see? It don't make any difference how much longer he lives after that, he don't ever get any older—"Billy Fortune." ```markdown ``` TURKS TO LOSE ADRIANOPLE TURKS TO LOSE ADRIANOPLE AFTER GALLANT DEFENSE MADE BY SICK AND HUNGRY SOLDIERS. "HOLD OUT WEEK MORE" BULGARIANS AND SERVIANS ARE EXPECTED SOON TO ENTER FORTRESS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, March 13.—It is expected in Sofia that the Turkish fortress of Adrianople will be entered by the Bulgarian and Servian besiegers. A private message states that the Bulgarian troops captured Berlanaria, one of the "key forts," and took 420 prisoners. The Turks resisted stubbornly. Constantinople.—A despairing cry of "I can hold out only one week longer!" was sent in cipher by wireless from Shukri Pasha, the Turkish commander of Adrianople, to his superior officers here, according to unofficial reports. Shukri, who has held out for many months against the hundreds of siege guns of the Bulgarians and Servians, is said to have informed the Porte in his message that Adrianople is practically at the end of its supplies of food and ammunition, while there is much sickness, especially scurvy and intestinal disorders, which are ravaging the ranks of the defenders. The commander who has offered such long and gallant defense urges that either peace negotiations be hastened or that an immediate attempt to relieve the city be undertaken from the Chatmalja lines. Serious fighting has been in progress along the Bulgarian front. The Turkish fleet is co-operating with the corps. MEXICO MUSST END VIOLENCE. President Notifies Forces No Firing That Endangers Americans Will Be Tolerated. Washington.—Peremptory warnings have been given to the federal and rebel forces in Mexico by the Wilson administration that "under no circumstances" must firing which would endanger the lives of Americans be allowed. This development on the heels of President Wilson's statement that "we can have no sympathy with those who seek to seize the power of government to advance their own personal interests or ambition," is regarded as highly significant that the new administration will not tolerate any acts on the part of the warring Mexicans which menace American interests. Formal demand that firing across the border must not be allowed was made to Colonel Obrogon, commanding the state troops in Sonora, and to Colonel Kosterlitzky, commanding the federal garrison at Nogales, Mexico, by American Consul Simpich, acting on instructions from the Department of State. Consul Simpich delivered the message in person, according to a message reaching the State Department. Wife Shoots Husband and Woman. Memphis.—Augustus Schrieber, forty-five years old, president of the Lee Lumber Company, was shot and almost instantly killed, while Mrs. L. A. Howell received a slight wound in the left wrist from bullets fired from a revolver in the hands of Mrs. Schrieber, Will Urge Tariff Revision Only. Washington.—President Wilson has decided upon a policy of meeting legislative developments as they arise, rather than planning a program for the extraordinary session of Congress. This, it was learned from the White House callers, will be the President's answer to those who are urging that currency legislation, Philippine independence, Alaskan questions and other subjects be taken up at the extra session. The President was advised by Representative Oscar Underwood—the Democratic majority leader—concerning the status of the tariff bills being prepared by the ways and means committee. He learned that the committee was making rapid progress, but that it might not be ready on April 1st, the date originally fixed for the opening of the new Congress. Road Commission Bill Passes Senate. Denver.—H. B. 254, the highway commission bill, with amendments, was passed on final reading by the Senate without a dissenting vote. Mail Pouch for Denver Disappears. North Platte, Neb.—A pouch of United States mail has been stolen from a truck at the depot platform. The pouch contained letters and registered mail from Omaha to Denver and was relayed at North Platte from a main line train to the Denver train. Springfield, Mo.-Forest fires are destroying large tracts of timber in Oregon, Ozark and Douglas counties. PHONE MAIN 6123—Day or Night RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 1669. PARLORS, 1830 ARAPAHOE ST.
