LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Solving The Negro Problem In Detail Dr. Washington says "The Negro Problem Cannot be Solved Wholesale; it must be Solved in Detail. VOL. XIX. Solving T Negro P Dr. Washington says "The Negro sale; it must be The following article appeared in The Independent of Atlanta, March 27, written by Dr. Booker T. Washington: He says he receives many letters' books and pamphlets "in which someone has tried to formulate a solution of the race question." The difficulty, he says, with most of the solutions is that they "start out with the notion that the Negro problem is a fixed quantity, always and everywhere the same, like a problem in arithmetic, to be solved once and for all." How, then? He says: "The trouble in this case is that, like other human problems, the race problem is one in which the terms are not fixed and cannot, therefore, be brought into the shape of a hard and fast formula." What then? He says: "I have long ago given up the notion of solving the race problem wholesale. It seems to be rather that it can only be solved in detail." He is, therefore, interested in the progress of the individual Negro quite as much as in the progress of the—race as a whole." Dr. Washington then proceeds to state the facts in the business success of the Elbridge Brothers, at Uniontown, Ala., who do wholesale grocery business of $40,000 annum, and of Watt Terry, of Brockton, Mass., who, beginning with weges of $7 a week twelve years ago, now owns 222 buildings and has $7,000 a week income from them. These examples of success are interesting to Elbridge Brothers and Watt Terry than to others, as most people are, and naturally, more interested in their own successes than in those of others; however, the example, like all others good or bad, exercise a certain influence upon those who are in immediate touch with them or have called to their attention by verbal or written statement. It is in this way that the National Negro Business League has been able to exercise such a great influence during the past fourteen years in stimulating the business attitude of mind and development of the Negro People who are willing and anxious to learn of others and their successes invariably do better than those who proceed upon the theory that they know it all and --- are sufficient unto themselves. No, the Negro problem cannot be solved wholesale; it must be solved in detail. Until the details become numerous enough to become a wholesale estimate possible there will be a small army of people seeking to solve it and neglecting their own personal problem in doing so. Take the new Senator from Mississippi, James Kirkman Vardaman, as a provoking example of such solvers. He has introduced a measure in the Senate to separate the races on the street railways of Washington, and announced that he has in stock a whole cargo of separation bills that he will introduce as he moves along. He should solve the riddle of Benjamin Ryan Tillman of South Carolina, whose place as a "race problem solver" he aspires to take, as applicable to himself. Senator Tillman is dead in his place—paralyzed as to his limbs, added as to his mentality, and childish as to his whims, his devil's pitchfork useless in his voice for confusion now become senile whites! Senator James Kirkman Vardaman may go out by the same way. The unusual number of the first letter of the alphabet in his name is a sign of so much. It is a truth for his sort to consider more than they have done, from 1620 to the present time, that no good has come to any of those of him and the South who have systematically persecuted "the children of the Lord"—those who are always least and most helpless in the midst of any people of all nations, and that none will ever come to them while they persist in the persecution of them. A DISTINGUISHED HONOR Harry T. Burleigh, (colored) one of the leading Baritone singers of the United States, and one who has come in for quite a recognition in the Music Halls of London and other parts of Europe, was especially requested to sing the solo "Calvary" at the funeral service of the late J. Pierpont Morgan, held at St. George's Episcopal church, New York, last Monday. The late financier was especially State Hist & Nat Hist Booces State Hist HANTS WH ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO S WHO ADV , COLORADO, SATURDAY DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 19 1913. fond of Mr. Burleigh's singing, and during his life-time made him severeal valuable presentations. During the rendition of the song the silence was so intense that each note could be distinctly heard in every corner of the large edifice, and the voice seemed to have reached a perfect stage. Mr. Burleigh is the regular soloist of St. George's church, where Mr. Morgan worshipped for over half-a-century. Y. M. C. A. C. COLORED I.

CAMPAIGN COLORED DEPARTMENT "An unparalleled event, a wonderful record, an unprecedented action," were some of the expressions that fell from the lips of our white brethren when the campaign, which started on Saturday, the 12th inst., closed Wednesday evening, 10 o'clock, and $4,838.20 was raised in five days in memberships and pledges among our men, boys and women. In giving a brief outline of the reason, or cause of this remarkable event, we must inform our readers that after much sacrifice and prayer, the idea was launched to obtain recognition and affiliation with the Central association; then afterwards to procure a site, possibly with a building thereon. After continuous representations were made to the board of directors, they decided to officially recognize this department and to subscribe $600 per year towards the salary of a secretary. Having been given quite an inspiration from this generous action, the executive board secured the services of Dr. J. E. Moorland, international secretary, of Washington. D. C., to engage in a campaign, which had for its purpose the bringing of the needs of such an organization clearly before the public. This was vigorously and heartily entered into, and with the great assistance of Mr. W. E. Sweet and Mr. Bilihelmer, president and secretary, respectively, of the Central association, backed up by the untiring and persistent efforts of Messrs. Causey and J. S. Temple of the board of directors, supported by the self-denying and self-sacrificing men and women of our race, led by the Great Master of the Universe. Who has been the Captain of our ship, steering us through this sea-path, with its almost insurmountable waves, and bringing us to the port in safety, in our achieving the object that we set out for, we have consummated this event with gratitude and heartfelt thanks and praises to Him that presides over our destinies. It may not be out of place to inform our readers that with the amount of $4,838.20, added to $1,300, our bank account, we have been given the splendid sums of $1,000 and $700 by Mr. Sweet and the board of directors of the Central Association, totaling nearly $8,000, which will enable us to procure a site, so that our operations will start at an early date. Committee on management; site, procuring a well-trained man for secretaryship, and most important, collection of pledges, will be formed soon, and the beginning of a new era in the lives of our men and boys will be a marked feature in this community. Special mention must be made of Dr. Moorland, whose experience in Y. M. C. A. work has endeared him to all with whom he came in contact. We are glad he has not been disappointed in Denver, and our hearts pour forth praises and bright hopes for his continued success in the work that he seems specially called to. No longer can it be said that our race needs pity, mercy, or that charity, which tends to keep us in the role of parasites in society, as was once thought of us; but under good leadership, and the necessary opportunities to make us men of backbone and stirling worth, we will champion our cause to success in any sphere. Among the many subscribers the following were the largest: Messrs. F. T. Bruce, T. S. Sector, J. C. Porter, William Sprague, J. H. Kigh, L. Walton, Ray Clark (South Dakota), J. R. Conte, Samuel Brannum, Samuel Bondurant, Morgan Jackson, Drs. J. H. P. Westbrook, Justina Ford, Revds. A. M. Ward, R. L. Pope, D. E. Over, Mesdames Perkins and Cassells, the Taka Art Club and Capt. Silas Johnson. Messrs. Bondurant and P. J. Porter were the captains of the teams, Red and Blue, that aggregated this sum raised, and much credit must be given them for their unswerving devotion to this cause. May this department of the Y. M. C. A. live long in the hearts and minds of our citizens, as the work has just begun and needs continuous support from our people, so that it may be to our posterity as the beacon light that will shine, radiate, scintillate and illuminate in their lives iovermore.

It man not be widely known that for some while after the emancipation, New Orleans had only mixed schools for both races. But when the children of African descent were segregated into separate schools two or three of these schools were given white teachers. The recent act of the school board simply completes the segregation, making it like pupils, like teachers. The board has acted consistently with its public policy to handle any and all surgical cases that may be entrusted to his care, ODD FELLOWS BUILDING DEDICATED IN ATLANTA Atlanta, Ga., April 8.—Tuesday evening, April 1, was a great night with the Negro Odd Fellows in this town, the formal opening and dedication of Odd Fellows' Temple, 200 Auburn avenue, being held on that evening, at the Bethel A. M. E. Church, Auburn avenue and Mrs. Matilda Wynn, a colored woman, formerly residing in Glen Cove, Long Island, made and saved $30,000 by work as a washerwoman, John Wynn, her husband, received a favorable decision in the contest he instituted to prevent the probate of the will, Mrs. Wynn's first husband was Henry Hopkins, who died years ago. During her widowhood she took in washing for Glen Gove families. She executed a will several years ago, leaving her estate, valued at $10,000 in real estate and $20,000 in personal property, to nephews and nieces. Then she married Wynn, 20 years her junior. She died last February, and Wynn objected to the will. Surrogate Graham decided that her marriage invalidated the will, and Wynn gets the entire estate. (From Nashville Globe) Dr. F. A. Stewart, head of the surgical department of Maharry is about to send to the physicians of the South a report of fifty consecutive surgical operations performed by himself without a death. These operations included many rare and difficult surgical procedures and a considerable number of them was performed before his classes in Hubbard Hospital, thus giving the young surgeons the benefit of his long experience and rare surgical judgment. It is probable that this record cannot be exceeded anywhere in the South and indeed in the most perfectly appointed hospitals of the North the morality rate is not less than 2 or 3 per cent. Dr. Stewart hopes to spend a part of the coming summer in the large Eastern hospitals and Clinics getting new surgical ideas and the results of the latest scientific investigations, so as to be even better prepared in the future NO 32 to handle any and all surgical cases that may be entrusted to his care.

COLORADO AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS A few days ago a number of gentlemen met in this city and decided to form a social club, lease or buy a residence and furnish it and equip it on a sumptuous scale. This club is designed for the amusement and pleasure of its members. It does not appear that we, of Washington, will continue to begin working from the top down, instead of from the bottom up. With such a crying need here for organization to promote and finance commercial enterprises it does appear that if men can organize to spend money lavishly for amusement they ought to be able to organize to spend money judiciously to foster business enterprises. With not a single colored grocery store of size and stock deserving the name of a grocery store in Washington; with all grocery stores of any dimensions, located in negro neighborhoods, controlled and operated by Russian Jews, Greeks and Italians; with not a single dry goods, hardware, confection or china store or bank in this city of 127,000 negroes, it would appear that it would be far better to organize clubs to promote business rather than to furnish amusement. And these are anything but amusement times. This is a serious period in our history. With a house of representatives passing Jim-crow measures, and each day the daily prints carrying cruel, outrageous attacks upon the race by members of congress; with right after right and privilege after privilege being swept away; with the door of opportunity being closed more effectually every day, there ought to be something more serious to command our attentions than the providing of a sumptuous club in which to loll our time away with nectared wines and aimless conversation. The sumptuously appointed social club, among the whites, came after the amassing of wealth and business success. Just at this particularly crucial period in our history, which invites serious thought and earnest work, a social club, sumptuously appointed, would be the imitating of Nero—fiddling while Rome burned. Let's begin at the bottom and work up, rather than at the top to work down.—The Washington Bee. No man who is just and unbiased will condemn you for contending for what is right; therefore, we should contend for what is right. This, of course, should be done in the proper way, at the proper time, and at the proper place. This is a lesson that some people are yet to learn. Human rights are very sacred, and no man should be deprived of them. Every sane man should contend for his rights. We have civil, political and religious rights. The man who stands up for his rightful rights in the proper way will be respected and will in the end get them. God is not dead—right is bound to win.—The Baptist Reporter. For as a general rule, the colored women have had more courage to speak out in the defence of the womenhood of the race than the colored men, who are to a great or less extent cowards and trimmers, they having no higher object in view than to appropriate all the honor and glory unto themselves. They are unwilling to speak out in thunderous tones against the many outrageous wrongs and insults heaped upon the weak and defenseless women and children belonging to the Afro-American race.—Broad Ax. In Houston, Texas, the colored people have thirty barber shops, one bank, one dry goods store, three undertaking establishments, two bakeries, six printing offices, forty groceries, five newspapers, twelve contractors, one brickyard, nine lawyers, four dentist, sixteen doctors, three drug stores, ten real estate agents, six notary publics, five peace officers, two carriage and wagon manufactories, twenty-one blacksmith shops, thirty restaurants, four hotels, two insurance associations, one badge factory, two beauty parlors, three jewelers, four ice cream factories, one business college, two night schools, two architects, sixteen hucksters, fourteen trained nurses, twelve music teachers, fifty dressmakers, one kindergarten, six manicurists, two chiropodists, one veterinary surgeon, three cemeteries, eighteen painters, six cabinet makers, three plasterers, one sign painter, one second-hand store, six cement contractors, two stone cutters, fourteen brickmasons, three tailor shops, four hack lines, two steam laundries and two photographers. It pays to be kind in kind. Mrs. Booker T. Washington, president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, delivered an address before the teachers of Tuskegee institute, in which she took occasion to speak on the subject: "What Negro Women Are Doing for Themselves." Mrs. Washington declared that the association was opposed to the turkey trot and ragtime. She was frequently applauded. Benevolence must be well hid toward some people, or it will be overtaxed by them. That year after year football is getting a strong footing among the athletic events of the negro schools and colleges of the country was demonstrated very clearly last fall by their general participation in the game. The schedule of games of the various schools was more complete and more satisfactory to the public this year than ever before and with but few exceptions was played without a hitch. Everything taken into consideration the teams representing most of the colleges have shown themselves to be well versed with the new game, and some of their exhibitions have called for the highest praises. The season has come to a close with two teams standing out pre-eminently above the others; they are the Atlanta Baptist College and Howard University. Both teams at least for the present year will have to content themselves with sharing equally the honor of holding the leadership among the negro colleges of the country. A meeting between the two this year would have been a battle royal with a toss up as to which would be returned the victor. The Atlanta Baptist College met and virtually slaughtered the other Atlanta schools and won from Tuskegee Institute and Fisk University in two of the most beautiful contests ever seen on a southern gridron. Howard University on the other hand won most decisively from all her opponents. To date seven bills have been introduced in the Illinois legislature, all of them antagonistic to the negro. They are known as the Shaw bill, the Campbell bill, the Foster bill, the Poorman bill, the Hollenbeck bill, the Karch bill and the Full Crew bill. With the exception of the latter, the sponsors for these measures place the blame for their action upon the Jack Johnson incident. The Campbell bill seeks to establish the "Jim Crow" car on the transportation lines of Illinois, especially on the street cars of Chicago and the other large cities. The Full Crew bill will eliminate the railroad porter, and is believed to be the first step in the thorough elimination of negroes in railroad service. The other five measures aim at the prevention of marriage between negroes and whites, thus permitting illicit intercourse and wholesale miscegenation. It is significant that these bills have been introduced by Democratic, Republican and Progressive members of the legislature. The Full Crew bill has been made a party measure by the progressive party. What is still more significant is the attitude of the so-called friends of the negro. They are not anxious to assert themselves at Springfield. The opposition is thoroughly active and gaining force. The negro having no membership in the legislature and no leader in either of the two parties, with whom he votes anxious to voice his position, is in a dangerous position. It is very difficult to find a young woman now, but that as soon as she marries loses her usefulness to the church. More men would be useful to the church today if their wives would exert the same powerful influence over them for religion that they do over them for style and pleasure. Woman, keep your husband closer to the church and he will stay closer to you. The Vanguard. The other man's philosophy was never meant for our circumstances. The executive board of the National Baptist convention have decided that in connection with the next annual sessions of that body, in September, in Nashville, Tenn., there will be an exhibition of the progress the denomination has made since the emancipation. The plans are yet to be worked out in detail. Dr. Booker T. Washington was at the board meeting in Nashville last week, giving counsel and offering his aid financially. It is estimated that the proposed Baptist exhibition of the advancement of their work along lines of education and religion, the building of schools, churches, the work of publication of literature, current and permanent, statistics and material evidences, will cost three thousand dollars. To start, Dr. Washington and other members of the committee subscribed liberally and the denomination will be called upon to help this laudable phase of the next annual meeting. Your true friend will warn you of the impending dangers and assist you to steer clear; the false friend will magnify them but offer no relief.—The Torch Light. Intellectual qualifications and moral stamina are of course the prerequisites for the school room in our race, and after them comes the proper connection and who you stand with in civic affairs. Are you wise enough to get right?—Saturday Evening Tribune. Some of the every day policy players and "liquor guzzlers" are away over in the "amen corner" on Sundays; can sing psalms the loudest and exhort sinners the strongest, but by their walks and works are they known.—Arkansas Review. MILLION OUTLAY FOR COLORADO SUGAR PLANTS PLANNED. Big Drying Plant To Be Installed at Loveland; Improvement Involving $175,000 Expenditure. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Greeley.—The Great Western Sugar Company is preparing to expend at once approximately $1,000,000 in improving and enlarging its nine sugar factories, seven of which are in Colorado. Although officers of the company say their future prosperity depends much upon the action of the present administration regarding the tariff on sugar, they admit the improvements will be made, regardless of what Congress may do. The capacities of all the factories are to be enlarged. Their locations and capacities are: Greeley, 600 tons per day; Fort Collins, 600; Windsor, 1,000; Loveland, 600; Brush, 600; Sterling, 600; Eaton, 600; Scott's Bluffs, Neb., 1,000; Billings, Mont., 600. The first factory to be improved and enlarged will be the Loveland factory. It is to undergo improvements requiring the expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars, the most important of which will be a drying plant which will be operated in connection with the mill during the annual campaign. This plant alone will cost approximately $175,000. The contract will be let in the near future and its construction this summer has been assured. Board Members Named by Governor. Denver. Governor Ammons made appointments to four state boards and named Joseph Brentlinger public trustee at Cripple Creek. The appointments were sent to the Senate, which considered them in a short executive session and confirmed them. The board appointments are: State Board of Dental Examiners: J. L. Howell, Denver; W. W. Laughlin, Victor; W. W. Flora, Colorado Springs; O. H. Hile, Loveland; A. C. Hamm, Denver. To the Board of Control of the State Workshop for the Blind: B. M. Webster, Denver; E. P. Gallup, Denver, and Thomas Drake, Denver. To the Board of Control of the State School of Mines: James T. Smith, Denver, reappointed; Frank G. Willis, Cripple Creek. To the Board of Commissioners of the State Soldiers' and Sailors' Home: John R. Hurd, Denver; Henry F. Lake, Sr., Gunnison. Vote Woman Wide Power. Colorado City.—By voting an amendment to its new charter form of government delegating the power of police magistrate to the commissioner of records and seal, Colorado City made a woman its most powerful official. Mrs. May Ammerman, who has been city clerk, not only retains that position, but is commissioner of records and seal and also police magistrate. She will have the handling of all police business, and by virtue of her three positions will have more practical power than the mayor. Mrs. Ammerman received 710 votes, as against 568 for her opponent, J. G. Falkner. Maxwell Appointed Land Receiver. Maxwell Appointed Land Receiver. Denver.—Coloradoans appointed to federal position by President Wilson include: Samuel Houston Thompson, Denver, assistant attorney general of the United States before the Court of Claims. William A. Maxwell, Brighton, receiver of public monies at the federal land office in Denver. Onius C. Skinner, register of the land office at Montrose. Samuel B. Berry, receiver of public monies at the land office, Montrose. Lee A. Ruark, receiver of public monies at the land office at Del Norte. Thomas Ryan, postmaster at Salida. Eva B. Hamilton, postmistress at Stratton. 20-Cent Meal Costs Life. Pueblo—Refusal to pay for a 20-cent meal at a Santa Fé avenue restaurant cost Sacramento Rodrequez, a Mexican track laborer, his life. In the city jail, charged with the assault which resulted in Rodrequez's death, is Louis Culbertson, twenty-six one of the proprietors of the café. He claims that he struck in self-defense. $2,250 Cost of Free Concert. Denver.—The Denver free grand opera concert was staged at a cost of about $2,250. Of this amount the city of Denver contributed $500; E. B. Field of the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company, $500; the Denver Gas & Electric Company, $500; the Dehver Post, $500, and the Denver Tramway Company, $250. Says Wife Only On Pay Day. Pueblo.—That his wife visits him only on pay day—that is, four times a year—when he received an allowance from home, and spends the remainder of her time with congenial friends, is the declaration of Frank B. Kesmodel, who filed suit for divorce against Maude M. Kesmodel. In addition to accusing his wife of drawing his $5,000 income and spending it on W. B. Pope, her alleged affinity, and her relatives.

An estate awaits Charles A. Ross, Colorado miner, if he can be found by his relatives in North Dakota. Eleven persons were injured in automobile accidents in Colorado in less than two days during the past week. Mrs. Clara Turner, wife of Thomas Turner of Central City, who plunged from the Sixteenth street viaduct in Denver, died at the county hospital. Walter Helphenstine, one of the most popular and prominent of Denver railroad men, died at St. Joseph's hospital of acute dilatation of the heart. Billy Sunday, the "fighting" evangelist, whose unusual methods of winning converts have attracted wide attention will probably go to Denver for a big revival campaign. The executive committee of the Progressive party confirmed the election of Clarence P. Dodge of Colorado Springs as the Progressive state chairman by a canvass of the referendum taken throughout Colorado. Miss Salome Albrecht, daughter of Herman Albrecht, a millionaire manufacturer of Cleveland, Ohio, and Ralph Popp, head chemist in her father's employ, were married at Boulder at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Val B. Fischer. The Denver Dumb Friends' League, at the annual session re-elected the following officers: President, Mrs. Frank Whipple; first vice president, Mrs. Bryant Turner; treasurer, William M. Spalding; secretary, Mrs. John H. Gower; recording secretary, Mrs. Robert Cary. The thirty-second annual meeting of the El Paso County Sunday School Association was brought to a close at Colorado Springs after three sessions, during which addresses were delivered by prominent Sunday school workers, and officers were elected for the ensuing year. Joseph Grobesky, forty-five, the oldest employe in point of service at the Queen City foundry in Denver, was instantly killed when a casting weighing 9,000 pounds fell upon him. His head was crushed to a pulp and practically every bone in the upper part of his body was broken. J. A. Matthews was appointed chief of police at Grand Junction, succeeding S. B. Hutchinson, who was dismissed for favoring the Industrial Workers of the World during their recent visit to the city. The new chief announced that if any more members of the organization arrived they would not be permitted inside the city limits. Frank Thompson, an organizer for the Industrial Workers of the World, was arrested at Pueblo while signing up doubtful characters in saloons as members of the organization and was sentenced to fifty days on the rock pile, and the police judge issued instructions to the jailer not to feed the prisoner unless he did a fair day's work each day. "Sixty-five to one hundred thousand girls are taken from our homes and sold in the white slave markets of the cities for prices ranging from $50 to $200 each," said the Rev. E. R. Fulkerson in an address at the First Christian church in Denver. According to the speaker the spread of vice and disease has become so great in this country that it is "a stench in the nostrils of the country." Adjutant General John Chase of the Colorado National Guard, has gone to Washington to attend the conference of the military affairs committee to discuss the "pay" bill relating to salaries for the national guardsmen. General Chase will also, as chairman of the military affairs committee of the Denver Chamber of Commerce, lay before the war officials the expediency of converting Fort Logan into a brigade post. A leap from the highest point of the Sixteenth street viaduct in Denver to the paved roadway below will probably result fatally for Mrs. Clara Turner of Central City. She jumped from the viaduct a few minutes after she had kissed her husband goodby. Beginning April 24 the state tax commission will hear the representatives of corporations which by law are placed under the jurisdiction of the commission upon the subject of overvaluations. The assessment of the corporations must be made before June 15.

The Newspaper that runs regularly from year to year becomes the standard organ for news and advertising. While the job printing press is the quick road of meeting the attention of the public. The question arises whether temporary editions or special issues of some "jump up" business placard or folder with the pictures of some ten or twenty prominent citizens, the photographs of a few homes or business places is the best way to set our race enterprises before the public and turn attention toward our efforts. We believe it is not. In the first place, such products are temporary, they usually are misleading and extravagant in statement and high sounding in title. They puff up those who pay and ignore the best people who refuse to "dig up." Professional men and women do not care for too much advertising, enough is all right but too much savors of the fake. Secondly, People who have nothing to do, go to different town, run about and get a few items and photographs, get out a big edition of some "startling bullitin" and then solicit advertisement of merchants on the strength of the patronage of the colored population, make a few dollars and they retire from town without leaving their business address. This method hurts the colored people, the local papers, and makes the merchants sore and does the race harm. The Colorado Statesman stands ready to boost every legitimate enterprise but it cannot lend its voice or help to the "specials" that are started without any financial backing or good reason for their existence. We must be shown and then we will gladly do all in our power to encourage but to lend our name or sanction to anything otherwise would only be to put a heavy load on those who are working every day in the year to create confidence and favor for the Negro and make it possible for him to do business along legitimate lines. THE MEAN SPIRIT OF GETTING EVEN. Last week this paper published an editorial on "Our mistake in the church" which we hope our readers considered. We want now to say a word on the subject "Getting Even." There is nothing elevating in spite work. The man who is always saying: "You watch me; I'll get even;" is a man who needs watching. Watch him closely and you will see him attempting to pay in some way the penalty of his grudge. But here is the real danger, so long as we harbor ill-feeling against another, we are harming ourselves more than our own worst enemy could injure us; while the chances are that the subject of our hatred is not inconvenienced or suffering at all. In declaring ourselves openly or secretly the enemy of another, we make ourselves our own enemy and invite on our own head that vengeance we would call down upon the other. Forget the injury done you, the one that injured you if it was a real injustice will pay for it soon enough and his penalty for the wrong will be more severe than any you can inflict. Desire for revenge on your part but injures you without adding to his punishment in the slightest degree. Forget it by deciding that in the future you will be less capable of being harmed but more worthy of a square deal. One half of the Negroes unhappiness comes from brooding over supposed wrongs but if rightly considered these self same wrongs prove to be blessings in disguise. THE UNMASKING OF A HYPOCRITE. (New York Age.) It is bad enough for society to have in its midst a human vulture garbed in the counterfeit railments of Christianity and respectability, who practices not what he preaches, but who goes skulking about tramishing virtue and lowering the standard of womanhood; but it is infinitely worse to tear the mask off this wolf in sheep's clothing, to show him up in his true colors—a grand rascal—and then listen to his painful bleatings and cries for pity, his implorings for the consideration of his frends whom he has deceived, and his disgusting efforts to make himself a hero after he has been found out. If there was not such a vast difference between bravery and brazenness, one would feel constrained to ask that this peculiar specimen of humanity be awarded a Carnegie medal. The public has more respect for the professional gambler, the tout and the poor unfortunate woman of the underworld than for this sycophant, who goes about preaching the doctrines of chastity and righteousness, but who, in the end, is found out to do just the opposite of what his advice is to others. For in the case of the gambler, the tout and the woman of the underworld, they do not pose for other than what they are, while the hypocrite blinds those whose confidence he enjoys, only to ask advantage of their wives, their daughters and their sisters. Such a man has no conscience, no regard for marriage vows, putting a blight on the purity of womanhood whenever the occasion presents itself, be it in the church, at the family fireside or in public places. A thief is not a thief until he has been "caught with the goods," neither is a hypocrite a hypocrite until he has been unmasked. But after the unmasking little sympathy should be shown him; for if permitted to roam at will once more, this enemy to society would return to his old evil practices, causing additional sorrow and anguish. Blame Mother for Errors of Children By Miss Eleanor Sears, Omaha, Nebraska Every mother who loves her offspring is very desirous of being its guiding influence. A mother who is intelligent will have a special pride in her life's work and will try her best to form good characters in her little citizens. The indifferent mother is responsible for many of the grave errors in childhood, and if the first offense is treated lightly the child will not see why it should not follow its bent. Perpetual watchfulness is necessary to curb all unruly tendencies, that they do not become fixed habits. Conquer deceit, and you have reached the main source of future trouble. When your sensibilities have been shocked by some act of your offspring, try to show the child how grievous was the wrong. If you can get the culprit to thinking deeply you will see that he is really aware of his wrong. This method is all that is necessary for a first offense. If the child loves his parents and sees that he has deeply grieved them, he will not willfully repeat his wrongdoing. If you allow a child too much freedom, it will choose for itself and become the governor of its own habits. Until you know that the mind can grasp the right and wrong you, as guardian, are the responsible party, so do not horsewhip and terrorize until you are satisfied that some of the fault does not lie at your door. If your child should come under the hand of the law for a misdemeanor, do not make him feel that he is a criminal. Help him out of his trouble, and if you feel that you are somewhat to blame, say so, and arouse the honor that is in the child. You will find that he will resent the implication. No nature is wholly bad, and it is our duty to find out the good and foster it. Every attentive reader of the newspapers must have noticed the almost daily appearance of the dog in the news. It has been said that three subjects are of perennial interest to newspaper Ordinary Dog Full of Human Nature By H. G. GERHKE, Boston, Mars. Every attentive reader of the newspapers must have noticed the almost daily appearance of the dog in the news. It has been said that three subjects are of perennial interest to newspaper readers—love, women and money. The dog is a close fourth. He touches human life at more points and more nearly than any other animal. So the frequent accounts of his intelligence, his bravery, his devotion in saving people from drowning, from fire and from burglars; his loyalty to his master, his death from grief and even his deliberate suicide, are read with avidity by all who really know dogs. Not the exceptional dog, like the one recently exhibited at various universities, that has a vocabulary of over 300 words and that does all manner of impromptu stunts at the request of strangers, but just the common, ordinary dog, is full of human nature. He has a sense of humor and a sense of shame. Every dog lover knows that there is no such thing as a bad or vicious dog that has not been made so either by abuse or neglect. Is the case not very much the same with human beings? Eugene Field thought so, and added: "If I had my way I would abolish all the dog laws and dog catchers." The late William James—greatest of American philosophers—enjoyed the delicate and subtle relations between his little fox terrier and himself. Gladstone's favorite dog died of a broken heart when separated from his master. History is full of instances of canine fidelity. Dogs are what men make them. They respond quickly to humane influences. They are humanizing agents. Man is slowly coming to recognize the duty he owes those mysterious creatures that live on a plane so close to our own and that are bound to us by so many ties. Good Clothes Exert Potent Influence By MAUDE DOLAN, San Francisco Good Clothes Exert Potent Influence By MAUDE DOLAN, San Francisco For the average salaried person the proposition of keeping himself well clothed and equally well fed is a bitter one. The majority of people have a certain amount of pride. They resent pity intensely and their every faculty is bent toward keeping the other fellow in the dark as to their shortcomings financially. Consequently the skimping is never done in dress. It is possible to eat very sparingly unbeknown to your best friend, but the minute your coat begins to look shabby and your shoes to take on a down-at-the-heel expression it is quite evident to all who look that you are financially embarrressed. I have been supporting myself more or less for the last eight years, and I found out early in the game that appearances must be kept up. Time after time I have watched the girl with a college diploma in her hand and a college education in her head, but withal poorly dressed, give place to the girl exquisitely neat in person who always looks spick and span. The latter may be sadly behind the other in intellectual attainments, but her appearance is her stock in trade, and she is an ornament to any office. Personally, I must declare that dress is an important factor. Good clothes exert a potent influence over me. The necessity of wearing anything shabby amounts to actual pain. The knowledge that I am not stylishly dressed tends to clothe me not only in ill-fitting, ugly clothes, but a gloom beside which the clothes look radiant. Call it vanity, false pride, what you will; but I must be well groomed and immaculately clad to keep my self-respect. When it becomes necessary to skimp the skimp is applied to the table and not to the wardrobe. "His conversation is like the noise of a train in a tunnel, one idea deafening you with its echo." Conversation Like Noise of Train in Tunnel By Rev. Frank Crane, Chicago It is a most meaty and pungent phrase. Who has not heard that noise? When Binks comes along you hear the tunnel roar before he begins to talk on the one subject that resounds forever in his head. He overwhelms you with theatrical talk. Jinks is loaded to the muzzle with single tax arguments; Rinks is whirled away by some new religious fad, and when he leaves you your head is buzzing with shattered fragments of I. Kings, 4:2, and John 7:9; Tinks is quite sane enough until you mention baseball, when the tunnel roar of Sox and Cubs begins; Hinks roars of his garden, his house, his pigs, his whole domestic hobby; Minks begins to reverberate when he gets upon the topic of politics, both he and you are deafened by the overtones of his one idea; and winks is a quiet little man enough until the matter of prohibition is brought up, when his eye kindles and the train begins to roll. It is well to be earnest and to have convictions, but, in the language of the street, "there are others." THE B.L. JAMES M. & M. CO.

She leaves a husband, four children and a host of friends to mourn her loss. NOTICES TO BE PAID FOR. Owing to the increased cost of publication, it becomes necessary to make a nominal charge of 50 cents, payable in advance, for all cards of thanks, notices of condolence and resolutions. The price of room rent ads and other liners that run on a monthly rate of 50 cents must be paid in advance, as we are unable to carry them at so small a rate and pay a collector's commission. No items of this nature accepted without a cash payment. MUSIC FEST AT SHORTER CHURCH, APRIL 10TH. It was very encouraging to see the support given our musical amateurs, Miss Jennie Mae Hicks, Mrs. Lillian Hawkins Jones and Mrs. A. A. Waller, at the musicale held on Thursday evening, 10th inst. Upwards of five hundred persons were present and the program on a whole was satisfactory. The leading performers were supported by Mr. Geo. Morrison, violinist and the Azalia Hackley Choral Club. Special mention must be made of Miss Jennie Hicks in her solo work, as she exhibited more of the art of vocal culture and training than our average singers. The duet, "Love Shall Guide Thee," by Miss Hicks and Mrs. Jones, came in for quite a commendation as well as the encore song of Mrs. Jones", "You're Sweet to Your Mammy, Just the Same." The costumes of the singers were up-to-date and showed their tastes in stage choice. Bouquets were in galore, only not quite equally distributed. Mr. Morrison did well as usual, and the Choral club did their part. Miss Vera Ward was accompanist and surprised us with her good execution. NOTICE. I desire to thank the members of my team, the Reds, for their sacrifice and hearty support in making the Y. M. C. A. campaign, recently closed, a financial success. My thanks are also offered to the Taka Art Club, Mrs. Josephine Cassels and Mrs. T. D. Perkins for their generous gifts, as it is hardly possible to accomplish anything without our noble women, God bless them. The close of this campaign means the beginning of a new Denver for colored men and boys. Already the get-together spirit and good-fellowship are noticeable features, and denominational differences and seetarianism are banished, I hope, for all time. No longer are we members of a variety of denominations, but one in Christ in our Y. M. C. A. S. A.

Remember registration April 24th, school election on May 5th, for which you must qualify by registering on the 24th inst. This is the first time, according to the new law, that you have to register specially for a school election.

E. Church, corner 23rd and Lawrence sts., Rev H. Franklin Bray, D. D. Pastor. The pastor will preach at both services next Sunday; morning subject, "On the threshold of heaven," evening subject, Elijah's God and God's Elijah." Seven persons were received into full membership last Sunday morning Mrs. Ella M. Brown was added to the membership in the evening service. Madam C. A. J. Spires famous baritone singer of Indiana assisted by some of the cities best musical talent will give a recital at the church Friday evening for the benefit of Western University. This promises to be a musical treat of rare merit. A union excursion in which Campbell chapel will join will be run to Tolland on Juily 14th. The official board has decided to put forth every effort to make this the largest and best in the history of Denver. Listen, over the mountains toward Boulder you can hear a full round sweet voice ringing out in spring and uplifting song, it is that of Rev. T. H. Wiseman the west's sweetest singer and he is coming this way, get ready; we will tell you next week just when he will arrive. The men gave a program and supper last Friday evening that would have done credit to any church and people. It was a success from every angle, the trustees realizing a neat sum there from. The sewing circle met at the home of the president Mrs. Mary Finley, 924 E. 24th Ave., last Thursday afternoon. They will soon be ready for their quilt contest. Drop into Campbell on Monday evening if you want to see an official board in action. The pastor is delighted that all the auxiliaries are meeting regularly and doing everything possible to carry their part of the responsibility.

The order of service at Shorter tomorrow will be as follows: 10 a. m., Sunday school; lesson, "Jacob's Meeting With Esau," Gen. 33:1-15; 11:00, special sermon to women by the pastor; 3:00 p. m., afternoon platform meeting, in which some of the leading women of Denver will participate; excellent music; 6:45, Allen Christian Endeavor League; topic, "Favorite Verses—I., in Psalms, Ps. 19:1-14; 7:45, sermon by Mrs. Olive Elliot and a short literary program. Tomorrow will be observed as Woman's Day, and the women of the church will have charge of three services. A spicy program has been arranged, and it is hoped that a large audience will be out at each service to encourage and give recognition to the splendid work of the women. The Musical Festival by the three Denver stars and Azalia Hackley-Club and the "Lady Masons," by the Taka Art Club was rendered before big audiences and the rendition of each was so very acceptable that a repetition has been demanded. Look out for the date. Mr. Harry Cowell of Dallas, Texas, sent our pastor a check for $5 last week to be forwarded to the Omaha sufferers. Our Mite Missionary Society also shipped a box of clothing to Rev. Osborn of Omaha on the 17th. Secretary J. E. Moorland of Washington, D. C., preached a most instructive and inspiring sermon at Shorter last Sabbath at the morning hour. It has been a great while since Denver has had a visitation whose influence was so salutary and widely felt in the social, moral and religious life of the race as was the coming of Mr. Moorland to our city. The realization of a membership of 376 and a fund of $4,800 for the Colored Men's Department of the Y. M. C. A. is but the smaller part of the blessing; the beneficent effect upon the spiritual life of our people, irrespective of denomination, is the bigger blessing. SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.

VEILING MUST BE PLENTIFUL Without a Liberal Supply of Material It Is Impossible to Get the Proper Effect. It is poor economy to buy too scant measure when purchasing face veiling. A smartly adjusted veil can never have a skimpy effect, as when the back of veiling is straining at the edges of the veil pin, or when there is not sufficient material left at the ends to be tucked from view. Wide veiling and plenty of it must be used on even a small hat. An excellent idea is to have elastic cording run through the meshes of the veil at the top, being so measured as to fit firmly at the base of the crown. This method avoids the pinning of the veil to the hat brim, which is never a very secure way of fastening it and is difficult to do if the hat brim is stiff, and is apt to leave pin marks in any SMART TAILOR MADE SUIT A tailor made suit of light suede broadcloth with collar of white cropon, cerise embroidery and black tie. event. The fulness should be evenly distributed around the crown and the edges of the veil at the bottom caught at the nape of the neck with a veil pin or barette. The ends are then drawn straight up to the back of the brim and invisibly tucked under the elastic at the crown. When the veil loses its freshness and begins to sag at the chin twist this portion round and round and tuck it under its own surface; this will give trimness to the otherwise untidy appearance. WAYS OF FINDING PARTNERS Some New and Original Ideas Which 'Intending Hostesses May Find of Real Value. A correspondent kindly tells of these ways to find partners: "One girl had conundrums written on cards and given to the girls; the answers to these were handed to the gentlemen and they were numbered corresponding with the numbers on the girls' cards; they were told to find who their partners were. Another girl had the girls' names written backward on cards and handed them to the gentlemen and told them to make out who their partners were. Another girl had a small piece cut out of the card; the pieces were given to the girls and the other portions of the cards were given to the gentlemen and they were told to look for the girl who held the card corresponding with theirs. Another put the girls' names on cards and they were put in envelopes and sealed and hid in different places in the parlor." In Pastel Shades. It has become quite a fad to have the combinations, corset covers, petticoats, gowns, etc., in colored batiste to match the costumes with which they are to be worn, or else to harmonize with the decorations of the boudoir, particularly in the case of gowns and petticoats. The trimmings are usually lace of the shadow or val variety. Cluny, baby Irish and venise are used on gowns and petticoats. This fad will probably continue until hot weather arrives, at which time there is nothing better than white. Summer Living-Boom Bugs Rugs are a problem, summer or winter, but particularly in the summer we long instinctively to get rid of those with a deep velvety surface. One of the best summer rugs made of wool, appropriate on that account for all seasons, is the homespun rug. The weave is flat, without a nap, and the colors are very soft and cool-looking. These rugs cost from three to three dollars and a half a yard, according to the color and quality.—Harper's Bazar. Hang Up Blouses. To keep blouses fresh and unrumpled screw five hooks into a piece of broomhandle about two feet long. Opposite the middle hook fix a large screw-eye through which the bar may be hung from a small pulley attached to the cupboard or wardrobe ceiling. Put the blouses on clothes hangers, slip one on each hook, and pull the whole up into the empty space in center of cupboard. NEW SOCIETY LEADERS WIVES AND DAUGHTERS OF DEM OCRATS IN LIMELIGHT. Many Women of the Official House holds, and Their Kinsfolk, as a Rule, Hall From the Conservative Element With the passing of the Taft administration and the consequent unset- consequent unsettling of a social background built up during the years of Republican supremacy a change has come over the face of Washington life. U.S. CAPITOL Whether Washington society will continue to be as brilliant as it has been herefore remains to be seen. That the women of the incoming official households as a rule will be of the type more given to the consideration of serious affairs is practically assured. The president and Mrs. Wilson and the vice president and Mrs. Marshall and their kinsfolk hail from the conservative old Presbyterian element. Neither the presidential nor the vice presidential family has heretofore in its several ramifications "gone in" strongly for society, per se, and it is not regarded as likely that the advent in high political position at Washington will materially modify the habits of a lifetime or the heritage of generations. Mrs. Wilson and her daughters, moreover, are women who have assiduously cultivated their talents. Each in her own right is a woman of attainment, Mrs. Wilson and her second daughter, Miss Eleanor, being accomplished artists in oil, Miss Margaret Wilson a student of vocal music, and Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson a student of sociological problems and an active worker in behalf of social betterment projects. The Wilsons have a large circle of relatives who are to spend much of the next four years at the capital. By virtue of their affiliation with the White House family these will be factors in the new regime. Among the women of political householders who are bound to come forward in the next regime are Mrs. William Jennings Bryan, her daughter, Mrs. Richard Hargreaves, and her young daughter-in-law, Mrs. William Jennings Bryan, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. William Jennings Bryan, Jr., have been living at Washington throughout the winter, and Mrs. Hargreaves has passed the winter with her parents, accompanying them on their various trips. Mrs. Albert Sidney Burleson and Mrs. Josephus Daniels, whose husbands have entered the cabinet, are also likely to be dominant factors in the new order. Mrs. Burleson has gained much local note for her ability to write entertainingly of Washington life in its official phases. COSSACK USES A DAGGER Footman of the Russian Ambassador Becomes Center of Interest of Washington Crowd. Using a dagger to repair the harness, the Cossack footman of the Russian Ambassador to Washington, interested a curious city crowd, the other day. The driver had just started to turn round a street when the harness snapped. One of his horses fell, but got to his feet again in a moment, and then the team made a dash down the hill. The Cossack jumped from his seat and grabbed the horses. A lady occupant was assisted from the carriage, and stood on the curb while the Cossack, with the deftness of an expert harness maker, used the dagger to repair the broken harness. The ambassador's Cossack attendant always has created a furore whenever his carriage has been seen. The footman is a giant personage, wearing a skirted coat and a sort of fez hat. He always carries a dagger and a big gun hung over his hip. Borrowed Book Makes Trouble. A borrowed book not returned forms the basis of a libel action which will shortly come before the Bavarian courts at Bamberg. A professor lent the Socialist poet, Henrich Heine's, poems to a friend, but, as the book had not been returned at the end of eight weeks, despite frequent warnings, the professor sent him a postcard on which was pasted the following cutting from a newspaper: "The German buys no books. He borrows them and never gives them back." The borrower felt himself libeled, and, though he has not yet returned the volume, instituted proceedings. It appears that the borrower lent the volume to a lady, who in turn lent it to some one else. Peculiar Burial Whims: One is always hearing of the cobler whose dying wish is that his tools shall be buried with him; of the old navy pensioner who desires to be put to rest in the uniform in which he once strutted about so proudly; of the shoeblack (and this happened in London quite recently) who said he should not "rest content" were the emblems of the trade he followed not buried with him.

Among the exhibits in the division of history in the National Museum are several interesting collections of medals. These medals include a series awarded by the United States government, comprising naval medal of honor, the certificate of merit badges of the navy and marine corps, the Dewey congressional medal, the West Indies naval campaign medal, the campaign badges of the army and navy and the decorations given to the members of the army, navy and marine corps for proficiency in the practice of small arms. These medals twenty-four in number, make a unique display and are conspicuous on account of their bright colored ribbons. In addition to the governmental medals are several collections of personal medals of distinguished men, chief of which is the Maury collection. These medals were awarded to Commander Matthew Fontaine Maury, whose studies and scientific investigation of the currents and meteorology of the ocean did much to increase the safety of navigation and promote the interests of commerce Commander Maury's researches were recognized by several foreign nations and there are in the collection six gold medals, as follows: A special gold medal presented by William III., king of the Netherlands, in 1856; a special gold medal conferred by the free city of Bremen, in 1855; the Humboldt gold medal from the king of Prussia, in 1865; the Austrian gold medal of science, given by Francis Joseph I. of Austria, in 1868; a special gold medal from Napoleon III. of France, in 1859; and the gold medal of honor of the universal exposition, Paris, 1855. In addition, there are thirteen silver medals given to Commander Maury by Pius IX., in 1860, commemorating notable events in the history of the Roman Catholic church in his time. Another unusual medal in this collection of historical relics is that presented to Joseph Francis by congress, in 1888, for his services to humanity in inventing and perfecting appliances for the saving of life at sea. His invention, the Francis life car, was first used in 1850, twelve years after its invention, when 200 lives were saved from the wreck of the Ayrshire off the New Jersey coast. The Francis medal is unusually large and heavy, being nearly three and one-half inches in diameter and about one-half inch thick. FROM OAK HILL CEMETERY Rare Views May Be Had of Potential Beauty as Well as Actual Ugliness. One of the rare views of the lower and undeveloped Rock Creek valley is that which may be had from a point in Oak Hill cemetery, that point being the tip of the high spur near the broken shaft above the grave of Maj. Gen. Jesse Lee Reno, who was killed at the battle of South Mountain. Around you is a close array of tombs, among them being the grave of the twin sons of Baron Bolleau, the Godoy and Cartwright monuments and the Willard and Matthew tombs. The oaks rise high above you and it is easy to believe that their bare branches, whipped and swayed by the winter wind, are singing sadly. There is a good deal of green turf even at this season, and on many of the graves are wreaths and crosses of holly and laurel, telling of recent visits even at old tombs. Southeast, east and north one looks down the terraced slopes, which are thickly studded with white and gray monuments under which sleep so many of those that once were dwellers here. Among the brown, bare oaks an occasional cedar or holly tree gives a touch of kindly green to the otherwise dreary outlook. Lower Rock Creek in its actual ugliness and its potential beauty lies far below. You see red and yellow clay banks, where the earth excavated from many cellars and foundations has been dumped. Gray ash heaps are also in the picture. Some old buildings, especially the ruin of Lyons' mill, are prominent. The new city is stretching out from the east toward the edge of the valley and in places has grown to the very edge. New houses, mostly gray and yellow, some of them with red tops, are reaching toward the valley along the line of Massachusetts avenue. The whole scene shows the scars of many city dumps. When this part of Rock Creek valley shall have been parked the vista from the vantage point in the solemn tomb city of Oak Hill will be one of the most impressive in the world. Strawberry Production. In 1909, the last federal census year, according to figures recently compiled, the crop made the enormous total of 256,000,000 quarts, worth close to $20,000,000. This affords a fair idea of the magnitude of this money crop. By states Maryland was the leader in strawberry acreage, followed in the order named by Tennessee, Missouri, New Jersey, Michigan, Arkansas, Delaware, Virginia and New York, others scattered. Massachusetts was credited with a little over 2,000 acres. A Tireless Pair. "Talk about your long hours, I know a couple of hands in a factory that never stop day or night all the year round."

PRINCESS SAYS ORIENTAL MAKES GIRL WOO SAYS HE IS GRANDSON OF GREAT NAPOLEON SAYS HE IS GRANDSON OF GREAT NAPOLEON HERRICKWOULD DO SOMETHING WORTH WHILE HERRICKWOULD DO SOMETHING WORTH WHILE SECRETARY EDWIN SMITH KNOWS PUBLIC MEN Princess Ibrahim Hassan, who, before her marriage to a cousin of the to a cousin of the Khedive of Egypt. was Miss Ola Humphreys of Oakland, Cal., arrived at her former home the other day. A The purpose of the trip, the Princess said, was a visit with her relatives in California and to complete a book she is writing advising girls, especially Americans, not to become wives of Orientals, whether they be Japanese, Chinese, Tartars or Egyptians. "Not that I am dissatisfied," she explained. "The Oriental is the kindest husband in the world. The reason why I am advising American girls not to marry Orientals is a rather curious one. "It is that the Oriental is the only man who really understands women. His education lacks but one thing. He knows nothing of courtship. His strong point is love. He knows its ethics from A to Z. The result is that woman no longer is the mystery of the house. She is its plaything. "Oddly enough, the Oriental makes her like it, too.

In a lumber yard there, William Gordon, grandson of the emperor, has been working hard as a laborer, keeping within his own bosom, the secret of his ancestry. By a morganatic alliance of Napoleon with a matron of the French hospital in St. Helene—where the conqueror died in exile, Gorden is declared to be a grandson of the famous general. Historians who have been tracing the lineage of Napoleon, present proof of the discovery. When approached in the lumber yard, Gordon admitted that his grandfather was the great Napoleon. For the first time in his life he told the story of his birth. "Since a child I have kept this secret," he said. "I did not care about the royal blood and I wanted it to remain undivulged. But now it's known, so what's the use? "Yes," I'm his grandson. Quite a jump in stock from a great ruler and conqueror such as he, to a common lumber-buck' here. John Gorden, my "I intend to devote the balance of my working life to doing something worth while, not for profit, and which may rebound to the benefit of the other fellow," declared Ambassador Myron T. Herrick in Paris, the other day. "My hope is to assist in furthering the cause of land and agricultural credits in the United States." PETER H. Mr. Herrick recently declined to head a $25,000,000 company planned to perform the same services in the United States that the credit fancier does in Europe. He purposes to work from side lines toward securing the reducing of interest rate paid by American farmers, which now average $8\frac{1}{2}$ per cent, down to the $3\frac{1}{2}$ to $4\frac{1}{2}$ per cent, paid by the farmers and Germany. "I have no political ambition," he went on to say, "and I have withdrawn from business practically and from politics. But the ambassadorship has opened my mind to the needs of our One of the newcomers that Postmaster General Burleson has brought with him to the postoffice department at Washington, is Edwin B. Smith, his confidential clerk. M. Mr. Smith first came to Washington about twenty-six years ago as private secretary to the late Senator Coke of Texas, and he grew to be so fond of the city of his adoption that he has either remained here or wanted to be here ever since. He was born at Newman, Ga., a little more than fifty years ago, and he has served his apprenticeship as a school teacher, in public life and as a newspaper man. He held several important offices under the house of representatives during the regime of Speaker Crisp, for the last five years he has been a member of the staff of the Baltimore their positions. The woman becomes the suitor, the man the pursued. Why? It is very simple. The Oriental understands women. He begins love right. No honeymoons. No flaming passion. Nothing extraordinary. Just a plain—very plain—beginning of love. "The result justifies the theory. Here is the difference: In America the average marriage begins with a running start. The man in the first burst of love talks and acts is if it would last a thousand years. The woman believes it until she knows better. That is, she thinks she knows better. But she doesn't. "The man loves her just as much as ever; only he is getting back to normal. The wife worries because she is not getting as much love and attention as the man accustomed her to at first. Then they begin to be unhappy." "Here's my point: The Oriental knows better. He accustoms his wife to only as much affection as he can depend upon himself to create. Further than that he does not think. The wife, as we say here, should worry. "That's why American girls shouldn't marry Orientals. They keep you guessing all the time. You run after them.

Mr. Herrick is assembling facts and figures for the members of the Southern Commercial congress, who are now on their way to Paris by way of Rome. He says that letters received from those members indicate that they have broadened the scope of their inquiry to cover the agricultural needs of the entire United States. The most important document obtained by the ambassador is the report of the English inquiry into agricultural credit co-operation in Germany, which is just off the press. The French government has arranged to place the disposal of the American investigators the records of the great credit Foncier, the largest and most successful land bank in the world, whose president and two vicepresidents are appointed by the president of France. The loans of the credit foncier runs from 10 to 75 years. Its present rate for mortgage loans is 4.3 per cent, for public establishments, 1.4 per cent., and municipalities 3.85 per cent. Its outstanding loans now exceed $87,000,000. American, and comes from that position to his new work. His acquaintances among public men of the country in every state of the Union is wide.

To Preserve Indian Music Secretary Lane of the interior department has commissioned a man to go out among the Indians, study their music, and arrange it for the Indian schools. This seems a laudable purpose, but does not promise a great deal. Indians, like all aborigines, had a native music, but we do not know much about it, and it is unlikely that we ever shall be informed. Four hundred years of contact with the white man have changed many of the manners and customs of Indians, and the whites who have lived long among them find it difficult to understand exactly what was the original and how much modern civilization has affected present song. COST OF FLOWERS Total of $12,000 Annually for White House Blooms. Propagating Gardens and Greenhouses Kept by Government—Plants in Colonial Gardens South of Terraces Surrounded by Hedges. Washington.—To provide the White House with cut flowers daily and the grounds surrounding it with shrubs and blooming plants in season, the United States pays out every year $12,000. No other appropriation for the needs of the executive mansion is expected to prove as interesting to the present "first lady of the land," for Mrs. Wilson is a lover of flowers—even more so, if report be true, than the wife of any president in recent administrations. From the Roosevelt regime Mrs. Wilson has inherited, as did Mrs. Taft, improved facilities for supplying the White House with flowers for state occasions and daily use. Originally the White House conservatories were located on the west terrace. In 1902, while former President Roosevelt was in office, they were removed to the south side of the Washington monument, where they now form a part of the propagating gardens. In all, 16 greenhouses are maintained in the propagating gardens for the exclusive needs of the executive mansion and grounds. Congress appropriates annually $9,000 for their maintenance and $3,000 for repairs. Mary C. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. The removal of the conservatories to their present location was a part of the general renovation of the White House which took place during the Roosevelt administration, and cost the government approximately $500,000. After the executive mansion had practically been made over, Mrs. Roosevelt became interested in the question of improving the White House lawns, and, at her suggestion, two large flower gardens were laid out. These are known as the colonial gardens, and they not only received the personal attention of Mrs. Roosevelt, but was a source of pleasure to Mrs. Taft. No new flower gardens were laid out in the executive mansion grounds during the administration of President Taft, and it is not likely that any will be added while the Wilsons are occupants of the White House, for expert landscape gardeners have declared that the present arrangement cannot be improved upon. But the next four years may witness the installation of facilities for increasing the productivity of the propagating station, which supplies the nation's mansion with flowers. The first duty of the officials in charge of this station is to see that the White House is supplied daily with cut flowers, and that the floral decorations for the state occasions are the best that Uncle Sam can produce. Huge bouquets are placed daily in the rooms of the executive mansion and in the office known as the president's workshop. Even the presidential barouche is not slighted. Propagating Gardener Charles Henlock and his assistants face their principal task in preparing for the big state occasions. The White House, then is literally a bowed of flowers. Particular attention is paid to the color scheme and only one kind of flower is used. The bumper crops of the last year not only have enriched the farmer, but Wages of Farm they have served to increase the Workers Higher wages of farm laborers. A bulletin issued by the department of agriculture the other day declares wages paid to such laborers have increased about 3.2 per cent, during the year and 7 per cent during the last two years. "Since 1902" says the bulletin, "the increase has been about 34 per cent." The current average rate of farm wages in the United States when board is included, according to the bulletin is by the month $20.81; by the day, other than harvest, $1.14; at harvest, $1.54. When board is not included the rate is, by the month, $29.56; by the day, other than harvest, $1.47; by the day at harvest, $1.87. The wages vary in different parts of the country. The wages paid farm laborers now, when compared with the average wages during the '80s, are about 53 per cent. higher; when compared with the low year of 1894 the present wages are about 65 per sent. higher, according to the department's figures. will be reduced one-half, each senator and representative in congress being allowed but one after that date instead of two as at present. The opinion of department officials is that congress should so amend existing laws as to permit the appointment of at least ten candidates at large by the president. Provision for this was contained in the naval bill of the last session of congress, but was struck out in the house on a point of order. The academy can accommodate many more midshipmen than are now there, and it is feared that if more appointments are not authorized the shortage of naval officers will increase. The revision of the curriculum of the naval academy at Annapolis has resulted in a decrease in the number of first-year men dropped for deficiency in studies, according to Secretary of the Navy Daniels. It has been found that the lessening of the proportionate count given to examination marks has had a beneficial result. The recent extrance examinations also showed an increase over the usual percentage passed. Out of 135 examined this year, 55 per cent. upassed, while the average for the last six years has been about 41 per cent. passed. The export trade of the United States for the month of February fell off nearly $5,000,000—$4,818,410, to be exact—as compared with the ex- ports for the same month last year, according to figures issued the other day by the department of commerce. Exports for February aggregated $194,025,916, as compared with $198,844,326 for the corresponding month in 1912. On the other hand, the imports of United States for the same month exceeded the imports for the corresponding month of last year. The total value of imports last February was $149,569,214. For the same month a year ago they aggregated $134,188,438. The excess of exports over imports for last February was $44,456,702, while for the corresponding month of 1912 the excess amounted to $64,655,888. Of the imports that entered this country last February those that came in free of duty amounted to $79,913,002. The benches which are to take the place of the swivel chairs and desks House Benches which have been used so long in Are in Place. the house chamber of that body are in place on the floor of the chamber. The new benches have comfortable backs and arm rests. No desks are provided for the members except as they have charge of bills which come up for consideration, or when they plan to address the house on some special subject. Then temporary tables will be placed before them. The substitution of the benches for the chairs and desks has been made necessary to accommodate the increased membership of the house. Under the apportionment made after the last census, the house membership has been increased to 435. There was not room in the house chamber to give chairs and desks to all the new members. The new arrangement of seats was contemplated in time for the opening of the extra session. The change, however, may be only temporary, and the new benches are to be tested before any move is made to dispose of the old chairs and desks. Should the benches not prove satisfactory, the chairs and desks may be returned and the size of the chamber increased, as at one time contemplated. HAUNTED DESERT OF GOBI Mysterious Singing and Wailing and Distant Music Beguile the Traveler in the Waste. Slowly we traveled across the great waste of Dzungaria, the "soul-appalling G. o. l" of some writers, but to us a land of beauty, even if of a somewhat terrifying character. For her, more nearly than in any other land is beauty allied to terror. These silent steppes, the natives believe, are the haunts of "genii" and the rendezvous of evil spirits. As a recent writer has said: "The great sandy desert of Gobi has been looked on as the dwelling place of malignant beings from the days of hoary antiquity." All luckless travelers in this region, from the days of Marco Polo onward, have recorded strange stories of weird beings that inhabit the depths of the wastes. Mysterious singing and wailing, beating of drums and distant music are said to beguile the traveler and lead him off the track until he is hopelessly lost in the wilderness. A recent Russian explorer gives quite a detailed account of the wild men of the desert. Listen to the strange story told by Kosloff, who traversed the desert of Dzungaria in its wildest part not long ago: "These wild men, the Kyz-Kykas, as they are called, are covered with short wool, similar to the fur of a young camel. They have long black hair and black eyes. They are of the ordinary size, but rather long-legged. They roam the steppes in pairs, and when harassed by man they scream, whistle and snarl as they run away. The native Kirghiz claim to have caught them occasionally, but the captives refuse food and drink, and die after a few days."—Douglas Corruthers in the World Wide Magazine A FORGOTTEN GRAVE CRIME IN AIRSHIPS POPE PIUS X Henry Clay's Brother Heeded a Call to Preach. Though Not Inferior in Intellect to the Noted Politician, He Became a Wanderer and Spent His Last Days in Poverty. While thousands visit the magnificent tomb of Henry Clay at Lexington, Va., each year to pay tribute to his memory, the grave of Porter Clay is unknown save to a few. It is marked with a slab of stone, on which the name is almost obliterated by the weather. It lies in an old, unfrequented cemetery at Camden, Ark. Porter Clay was a young brother of the illustrious Henry. Though not inferior to the great statesman in intellect, Porter was without the inordinate ambition that history lays at the door of his brother. Porter Clay gave the best of his life to the service of his God. He died in poverty. Both boys were brought up by a pious mother, but Henry was captivated by the glare of politics, while Porter followed the desire of his mother's heart and became a Baptist minister. At the age of twenty-one, in 1815, Porter Clay was admitted to the bar of Kentucky. He was appointed as auditor of state accounts by Gov. Gabriel Slaughter. Even at this time he felt that he was called to the ministry, and hesitated to accept the lucrative position. Friends persuaded him to accept, insisting that he had a brilliant future before him. By this time Henry Clay had served two short terms in the United States senate and had been speaker of the house of representatives for four years. It was freely predicted that young Porter would follow in the footsteps of his brilliant brother. Porter served the state in this capacity for several years. During this time his wife died and he was remarried to the widow of Senator M. D. Hardin. Mrs. Hardin was a woman of great wealth and ambition. She was the mother of two sons at the time of the marriage with Porter Clay. As these boys grew up they developed unruly traits of character. They manifested an open contempt for the gentle ways of their stepfather and his simple life (for he had begun to preach shortly after his marriage with their mother), and one of them in particular became notorious for his waywardness and profligacy. It was he who distinguished himself later in life for bravery and rashness during the war with Mexico and challenged Jefferson Davis to a duel for some fancied slight. The duel was never fought, for President Zachary Taylor interfered and prevented it. About 1840 Mrs. Clay and her sons persuaded Mr. Clay to move with them to Jacksonville, Ill. Here they resided in a house that had been the property of Senator Hardin. The mother and sons gradually came to treat Mr. Clay as an outcast. So incessant was their abuse of him that he was eventually forced to leave their roof. A dispute with the authorities of the church had caused Porter Clay to be suspended as a pastor. He became an evangelist and traveled widely. it was in this way that he first came to Camden, late in the '40s. Evangelism in those early days was not the gilded path to fortune that it is today. Porter Clay was frequently in actual want. His brother, Henry, thrice a candidate for the presidency, offered at many times to give the wanderer a home. But the Spirit called the shepherd and he continued to follow the voice. His followers organized a church in Camden, and Mr. Clay felt that he had reached the goal of his mission. He expected to spend the rest of his life ministering to the people of the little city on the bank of the Ouachita. But in 1850, two years before the death of Henry Clay, he was stricken with fever and died after a few days of suffering. His grave was unmarked for many years, but a small board was eventually placed upon it by members of the Baptist church. Several years ago the New Century club of Camden erected a slab of stone over his grave by the women of this orgination, its solitude is unbroken from year to year. WILD FLOWERS OF BULGARIA Great Variety of Beautiful Blossoms Are Found in Abundance Bulgaria from a naturalist's point of view was an aspect of that country of which the audience at the Royal Horticultural society in London were delighted to be reminded recently. Mr Ball, the lecturer, spoke of the rose gardens in the valley 60 miles long, from which the world obtains its supply of attar of roses. He spoke of the picking of the roses before sunset, to prevent their losing half their fragrance. His chief theme was, however, of the wild flowers of Bulgaria, from the crocus growing in the bleak mountains around Sofia to the profuse geranium, much loved of the peasants. In the mountains right among the granite spurs he had found masses of gentian, of slender campanulas with bells all the way down their stems and of vivid forget-me-nots. There were also miniature rhododendrons with blooms of many shades. Phillippollis, he said, was afire with sumach, and in marshy meadows purple primulas grew in abundance.—Christian Science Monitor. "Accidents" to Flying Machines Arouse Grave Suspicion. New Addition to New Criminal Catalogue, Which Includes Smuggling in Switzerland and Shady Bourse Transactions. Facts have recently come to light which arouse very grave suspicion that the many recent tragedies of the air have not all been due to accident, says Pearson's Weekly. The Royal Eero club is at present inquiring thoroughly into the whole matter, the suspicions of flying men having been aroused by three strange incidents that happened recently at Herndon. On two occasions the carbureters of aeroplanes were found filled with water, which could not possibly have got there accidentally. Luckily its presence was discovered in time, otherwise the engines would suddenly have stopped in midair. With a pilot who was inexperienced or lost his head there would have been one more aviation fatality—"dué to some faults in the engine." The latest case was even graver. A naval lieutenant flying with a passenger suddenly heard a grating noise in his engine, which stopped. By great luck he managed to reach the ground in safety, though the monoplane was smashed. The engine was examined, and a large steel nut was found lying in it. This nut did not belong to the engine and was in such a position that it must have cost some one 20 minutes' hard work to get it there. A significant point is that all three recent attempts have been made on the same type of engine, as if to damage its reputation. However, that may be, it would seem that murder in midair will have to be added to the list of crimes. Another 1913 criminal is the midair smuggler. Between Switzerland and Italy there are high customs duties, and for scores of miles a literal "tariff wall" has been erected in the form of a high barricade of wire netting, this boundary being patrolled by guards. During the last few months there have been repeated rumors as to mysterious airships being seen and heard at night. The Italian authorities refuse to speak on the subject, but affidavits have been published in the Milan Press from peasants and patrols to the effect that they had not only seen a small airship, but fired at it. And it is known that large consignments of contraband have lately got through. A wireless telegraph operator recently appeared in a Berlin court on a curious charge. A message had come from a Hamburg transatlantic liner to the effect that an American copper king had suddenly been taken seriously ill on board and was not expected to live. The copper magnate, it seems, had not been aboard at all, but was in Calumet in excellent health. A connection was traced between the operator and a couple of shady bourse financiers. The object of the lying message had been to "bear" copper shares—i. e., to buy them as they fell in order to sell them on the rise that the contradiction of the false report would bring. The law was stretched to meet the case, and the foolish young "wireless" man is now in prison. The very newest form of the confidence trick was, as far as is known, invented only a few months ago, and is really very neat. Lots of clubs and hotels are complaining just now of the well dressed men who, after turning the conversation on thought reading and telepathy, bets that he has a friend gifted with such strange powers, that even when miles away he can tell the name of any card selected. The challenge is usually taken. A card is turned up. The visitor says: "Now 'phone up number so and so and ask Mr. John Cartwright what card that is." The answer comes back correct and the triumphant one collects his bet. The trick is a decidedly simple one. There is a code of 52 names, one for each card, and the man at the other end of the phone knows, by the name he is asked for under, which the card in question is. NEVER GOT WISH HE CRAVED Pathetic Desire for Fishing Trip Remained Unfulfilled Until the End of Long Life. A man died in New England not long ago, and when they came to examine his effects they brought to light a pathetic story. It appears that for 40 years the man wanted to go a-fishing. Yet, in various ways, he had been prevented. There was no fishing near his home, and when he went away, on business or for pleasure, he found neither time nor opportunity to gratify his desire. He had obtained and hidden away an unusually fine fisherman's outfit, and he had bought the leading books on the angler's art. These, too, he had hidden away—either afraid of being laughed at for his fad, or desiring to keep the enjoyment of his treasures all to himself. So he lived on and on, the longing still gripping him, the hope of fulfillment strong within him—on and on, until at a ripe old age he died, his fond desire ungratified. This seems quite as pathetic as the lifelong longing of the old French peasant to see Carcassone, the city just beyond the nearest hills. POPE PIUS X MUCH WEAKER PEACEFUL SLEEP FOLLOWING LIGHT REPAST CHEERS HIM GREATLY. IN CRITICAL CONDITION BRONCHIAL AFFLICTION HAS CONTINUED UNABATED SEVERAL DAYS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Rome, April 17.—The bulletins issued by the physicians yesterday indicated that the condition of the Pope practically is stationary. The evening bulletin was of a more optimistic tone, as it indicated that the temperature was normal and that there had been no recurrence of the usual night fever. The fact, however, that the bronchial affection has not been overcome, detracts somewhat from the hopeful character of the report, as the occasional paroxysms of coughing are taxing the strength of the patient, who already has been under a great strain. The condition of albuminuria has reappeared and to relieve the kidneys hot baths have been or-ered. Dr. Andrea Amici paid a visit to the Vatican at 11 o'clock last night and, according to his announcement, found only a slight elevation in temperature and other conditions satisfactory. The pontiff greatly enjoyed some yolks of eggs beaten up in Marscula wine and old brandy, a concoction much liked by Italians. Professor Marchifava gave a fresh prescription this morning aiming at facilitating expectoration. The professor insisted on complete rest, and added: "Each patient must, above all, be his own physician." The lawyer Patriarca, who represents the Holy See, was summoned to the Vatican. The same lawyer drew up the last testament of Pope Leo XIII, and the inference is that he has been asked to do the same for Pope Plus X. The lawyer was summoned after Professor Marchiafava, the Pope's physician, had a long conference with Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal secretary of state. Private but reliable information as to the Pope's condition is that while he was without fever yesterday he is much weaker. If his illness continues in its present course he will be weaker each day. Even if the bronchial affection does not develop into acute pneumonia, it is doubtful how long the vitality of the patient can hold out. London.—It is asserted by the police here that a woman bearing a document which Joseph W. Martin, the missing American broker, was forced to sign, is now on her way to America. The belief is further expressed that Martin is being held captive by bandits.
