Washington Tells About His Visit to Salt Lake City Mormon Leaders explain in Detail About the Policy They Persue. Great Lesson For The Negro. VOL. XIX. Mormon rep Booker T. Washington Tells About Mormon Leaders explain in Detai sue. Great Lesson Continued From Last Week I am convinced that the Mormons are not an immoral people. No immoral people could have such strong, fine bodies as these people have, nor such vigorous and alert minds as they have. It has been my privilege to address schools and colleges and universities in nearly every part of America, and I say without hesitation that I have never addressed a college anywhere where the students were more alert, more responsive, more intelligent than is true of the students in those Mormon colleagues. I was hardly prepared for the over generous and raptuous reception that was given me at the State University, the students of which for the most part are Mormons, and I had the same experience in addressing the private schools and other institutions conducted by Mormons. I met, for example, one of the daughters of Joseph H. Smith, the successor to Brigham Young and now the head of the church. I was told that the other 48 children were just as healthy and strong and alert as she is. Just how many wives President Joseph H. Smith has or had I do not know. I am not going into the subject of plural wives, but I am simply stating facts and giving my impressions. The Mormons have first-class schools of every character, and they are pushing the matter of technical and industrial education to a stronger degree than we are in the South among the colored people. In fact, time and time again I was told that they learned their methods for the most part from Hampton, Tuskegee and similar institutions. I was nearly taken off my feet when I went into a class in the university and the teacher showed me a large piece of pasteboard with the pictures of our students at Tuskegee at work in the various industrial departments. They said they were taking this as their model. The Mormons have recently begun a systematic effort to give their young people training in gymnastics with a view of strenghting their bodies. Here again the colored people, especially in the schools of the South, can learn a great lesson. Everywhere in our colored schools we ought to have systematic and constant training in gymnastics. There are about a thousand col- ored people in Salt Lake City, and they are above the average in intelligence and in other respects. The colored women especially strike me as being exceptionally intelligent, more so I think than the men. They have here an Art and Music club which I had the privilege of addressing composed of very intelligent women. They have two good churches with very intelligent ministers. The main weakness in the life of the colored people in this city as in some others I have gone to, grows out of the fact that instead of having commercial organization to promote the business and industrial interests of the colored people they have a club house for which I am told they pay a rental of $150 a month, where the men are encouraged to drink and gamble. It seems that they cannot throw away their money fast enough, but in order to help it along they rent a house for $150 a month for the purpose of helping them to dispose with their money faster I have spoken to them plainly about this mistake, and I believe that a change for the better will take place. I met several colored men who have accumulated a responsible fortune and who are in good business enterprises. I think it will interest my readers to know that there are colored Mormons in Utah. I met several of these. Many of them came here in the old days, in fact Brigham Young brought colored people with him to this country, and they or their descendants have remained. Of course in the old days plural wives were not prohibited by law but I have made careful inquiry and could find no case where a colored man ever had more than one wife. It seems to have been the custom in the old days that a man could not take a second or third or fourth wife without the consent of his first wife, and I was told that no colored woman in Utah would ever give her consent for her husband to take a second wife. I met one colored man who came out here in the early days who is now 82 years of age. He is a staunch Mormon, and neither the Baptist Church nor the Methodist church can get hold of him. He came here from Mississippi. He is a fine looking old fellow, a kind of Brigham Young. He has a farm worth $25,000, and lives in the midst of a Mormon colored colony DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 3 1913. The Colorado Statesman's Position in This Election The Colorado Statesman's Position in This Election The candidates for the various offices for the Commission Form of Government having published their manifestoes, this paper urges the public to give its entire support to the men and women who will carry out the following principles: That the candidates would come out and fearlessly express their views on the benefits to be derived from this new form; to what extent they will pledge themselves to subscribe their efforts to open the avenues of employment to the people of this city irrespective of creed, class, color or previous condition of servitude, so that a decent and respectable livelihood may obtain if they qualify for such positions; will they be honest, true and devoted to the oaths of their offices which would inspire them with that fairness to uphold righteous and square dealing with rich and poor alike, and placing the rigor of the law on those who justly deserve to be punished irrespective of position; and last, but not least, will they do all in their power to raise the moral tone of our city, so that in turn our citizens may be heralded as those who are ever striving for the uplift of humanity and the supporters of honorable men and women who will faithfully represent us, in making a fair and impartial distribution of taxation according to our respective financial status, where the poor shall not be overburdened and the rich escape their legitimate obligations. These are some of the things we remind the people to demand from the political aspirants in this campaign, and this paper makes emphatic this statement to the people, that none but those who acquiesce to the foregoing statements and answer "I will to the best of my ability help to carry out these policies successfully," should be elected to handle the reins of our City and County government. This being one of the greatest campaigns in the history of Denver, let us evince the utmost interest in the same, and with a keen sense of our responsibility to provide for ourselves, arise with might and main and participate in a practical manner in this election, which is the only opportunity we will have in helping to dictate how we should be governed.

CLUB TO ARREST RACE PREJUDICE (Oakland Tribune) The Northern California Branch of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People has been quietly organized in Oakland and San Francisco within the last month to prevent the development or accumulation of race prejudice in California, which is now one of the states that deals most fairly with the colored people.

There are ten thousand colored people about San Francisco Bay, of whom eight thousand live in Alameda county. There are sixty Negro business men in Oakland. The Oakland colored people pay taxes on one and a half million dollars' worth of property, and the San Francisco colored people on a half-million more.

DEBTS WILL BE PAID J.L.BRUSH DIES AT HOME GOVERNOR AMMONS SIGNS LONG APPROPRIATION BILL. Number of Salaries Reduced and $40,000 for Coal Mine Inspection Department Disapproved. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver. — "Any indebtedness incurred by the state during this administration will be paid," said Governor Ammons after he had affixed his signature to the long appropriation bill. The bill as passed by the Nineteenth General Assembly carried with it an appropriation of $1,840,000. By the process of trimming and elimination the net appropriation now is $1,700,000. If the salary slash bill introduced in the assembly had passed, says the governor—and he was in favor of it—the saving to the state would have been at least $100,000 for the biennial period. The second class apropriations call for the expenditure of $1,200,000 and M. GOV. E. M. AMMONS. the third class $540,000, but these have not yet been passed upon by the governor. "But I have made up my mind as to certain items in the second and third classes," he says, "and it won't take long to dispose of them." Officials and employés of the state looked for a wholesale cut by the governor in the long appropriation bill. But the majority of salaries are provided for by statute and therefore the chief executive had no authority to use the ax to any great extent. The governor approves the long appropriation bill, with the following exceptions: Payment of salaries of the board of land commissioners, $18,000. (These salaries must be paid out of the fees of the office.) The dairy commissioner is cut out and department transferred to the state agricultural college. Salary of the state chemist cut from $2,000 per year to $1,000. Appropriation of $40,000 for the coal mine inspection department disapproved and the inspector and his deputies will be paid out of the special fund if such is available. The inheritance tax clerk who has been receiving a salary of $1,800 per year is chopped down to $1,200 per year. Pride Caused Death of Miss Conger. Colorado Springs.—To her pride in refusing to ask funds of relatives was ascribed the cause of the death of Miss Lana Conger, twenty-four, of Des Moines, Ia., who died at a local hotel, by a sister, Mrs. C. B. Hutchins of Lamar, Colo. The direct cause of death was due to hemorrhages, but physicians express the belief that this illness was aggravated by the altitude, which affected the heart action and produced almost instant death when the convulsions came on. Only $3.00 was found among Miss Conger's effects. Millionaire's Son in Jail. Grand Junction.—J. Kear Owen, twenty-seven, who claims his father is Benjamin Owen, a millionaire shoe and shoe polish manufacturer of Boston was arrested here charged with an $18 check forgery.

FORMER LIEUTENAN GOVERNOR SUCUMBS TO PNEUMONIA. Well Known '59er Was Closely Identified With the History of Northern Colorado. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Greeley, Colo., J. L. Brush, former lieutenant governor of Colorado, died at his home here after an illness of nearly two weeks. The contributing causes were blood poisoning and pneumonia. Blood poisoning developed from a scratch on his hand while he was working in his garden two weeks ago and the pneumonia was contracted about a week later. Governor Brush was seventy-seven. Members of the family who were summoned several days ago were at his bedside when the end came. The last of the relatives reached the city barely in time to be recognized by the dying pioneer, who lapsed into unconsciousness for several hours preceding the end, which came quietly as though the patient were sleeping. The funeral was held from the family home and was attended by people from all parts of the state. Governor Brush was closely identified with the history of northern Colorado, where he lived the greater part of the time since crossing the plains with an ox team in 1859. He began his life in the West by mining in Russell gulch. Later he freighted across the plains and gradually drifted into cattle raising and farming. The town of Brush, in Weld county, is named after him. Two sons, two daughters and a stepdaughter survive. They are Jared LJ Jr of Greeley, Walter, sheriff of Logan county; Miss Ada Brush and Miss Margaret Doolittle, a stepdaughter of California, and Mrs. C. E. Lester of Estes Park. Explosion Kills Two, Injures One. Cripple Creek.—A powerful explosive claimed as a toll the lives of Mrs. Ida Bacon and her daughter, five, and may also cause the death of James L. Bacon, former state representative from Teller and El Paso counties. The explosion which broke Mrs. Bacon's neck and killed the little girl instantly occurred just as Mrs. Bacon was preparing to get breakfast. The police and sheriff are investigating and an officer is continually sitting beside the bed of Mr. Bacon, awaiting for him to regain consciousness in hopes that he may say something which will throw some light on the disaster. Mrs. Bacon had a premonition that the members of her family would be blown up. While attending the funeral of a former friend, Mrs. Anna McLeod, she told another friend, Mrs. Caldwell, that the next funeral would be her own and that her death would be caused by an explosion. She complained that she had been unable to sleep for more than a week so fearful was she that she, her husband and baby would be annihilated. "Murder," Says Teller County Sheriff. Cripple Creek.—"It was not an accident. High explosives were placed in either the firebox or oven of the stove and were put there by some party or parties with murderous intent." This was the statement made by Sheriff Henry Von Phil in referring to the explosion which caused the death of Mrs. Ida Bacon and her six-year-old daughter, Josephine, badly injuring James Bacon, representative from Teller county in the Eighteenth General Assembly, and wrecked the Bacon home at 309 West May avenue. Soot Frustrates Dynamite Outrage. Cripple Creek.—A dynamite bomb was thrown down the chimney in the home of Mrs. Nora Barnum at midnight and had not the explosive fallen into some soot in the pipe, probably another catastrophe would be added to that of the destruction in the James L. Bacon home, three blocks distant, in which Mrs. Bacon and her daughter were killed and Mr. Bacon perhaps fatally injured. Lincoln's Niece Is Dead. Idaho Springs.—Mrs. M. A. Collvert, a niece of Abraham Lincoln died at the home of her grandson Irving Coe, in this city, aged ninety. Mrs. Collvert was the daughter of Thomas Hanks, whose sister, Nancy Hanks, was the wife of Lincoln. D. & R. G. Fireman Is Killed. Grand Junction. — Gilbert Gregg, twenty-six, a Denver & Rio Grande fireman, was killed near Helper, Utah when he was struck on the head by a bridge support as he leaned from the engine cab window.

Denver. — An anticipated contest over the election of officers of the board caused the state board of health to retire into executive session after the general business of the evening had been transacted, but the "war scare" was baseless and the Denver ticket went through without a struggle, the old officers being re-elected, as follows: President, Dr. Sherman Williams; vice president, Dr. Jacob Campbell; secretary, Dr. Paull S.

BACK TO NATURE not take naturally to mechanize such his teachers and advisers masters. He is more naturally an agrarian, carefully knew of any other peas and herders. They were merely, but, it may be judged, they are of reasonable reliance. Nother. The principal uses of the institutes along natural lines, while of the mechanical trade access, the instructions the Negro slave or perhaps there is no other class of better natural idea of the uses of. He is not up in the modern social cause, of late years, his condition, improvements, but he has all of him a successful farmer when he ideas of the concentration of natural resources. The tilling of a population of all civilized races, and all the higher vocations and all. The effort of a people to get over this first, underlying purpose it is superficial and without students, servants and gypsy-like or present-day tendencies of Negroided throngs of unskilled labor in the development of the race. And the rural districts, whether in the South or upon mountain settlement upon the new pressing. Every Negro who leaves productive tract of land in the hit his race more than any hungaste and servility of city life. The Negroes' greatest mark in the THE Negro does not take naturally to mechanism, the allied arts and sciences, however much his teachers and advisers may wish to see him develop along those lines. He is more naturally an agriculturist. As a native child of nature, he scarcely knew of any other peaceful occupations than those of crop raisers and herders. They were merely the necessary means of tribal maintenance, but, it may be judged, they were developed, in a crude way, to a point of reasonable reliance. Nothing more was required of tribal barbarians. The principal uses of the institution of slavery tended to develop their capabilities along natural lines, while the elementary knowledge that they gained of the mechanical trade accessories was merely incidental. Under meagre instructions the Negro slave easily became a trained agriculturalist, and perhaps there is no other class of people in the country today which has a better natural idea of the uses of the soil and the diversification of crops. He is not up in the modern scientific development of agricultural ideas because, of late years, his conditions have not kept him in touch with timely improvements, but he has all the fundamental knowledge required to make him a successful farmer when he shall have acquired the necessary modern ideas of the concentration of effort and the steady improvement of his natural resources. The tilling of the soil is the first and fundamental occupation of all civilized races, and out of its development and perfection grow all the higher vocations and all the extended branches of social development. The effort of a people to get up in the world while slighting and skipping over this first, underlying process, must always be doomed to failure, because it is superficial and without sound foundation. It is sure to make dependents, servants and gypsy-like wanderers of those who employ it. The great present-day tendencies of Negroes to flock to the cities and swell the unbridled throngs of unskilled laborers and servile classes seriously threatens the development of the race. A movement which will turn the Negro back to the rural districts, whether it be based upon schemes for industrial development in the South or upon more daring ventures at colonization or independent settlement upon the new soil of the West, should prove an unlimited blessing. Every Negro who leaves the city and establishes himself upon a productive tract of land in the rural districts, and sticks to it, will benefit his race more than any hundred Negroes who cling to the glamour and waste and servility of city life. "Back to nature" is the slogan with which the Negroes' greatest mark in the modern world must be made. (Advertisement.) S C. GREE Candidate for LEWIS C. GREENLEE Candidate for Commissioner of Finance Identified with Denver's business progression for twenty-five years. Active experience in civic affairs gives him the equivalent of civil service requirements as to experience, knowledge and ability. Was Treasurer of City and County of Denver from 1908 to 1912. Was Superintendent of Denver's School Districts for nineteen years. Is now VicePresident of the Interstate Trust and Finance Company and financial confidant of many of Denver's business men. Assures a conservation and progressive administration, devoid of political prejudice and party entanglement. KNIGHT GIVEN SUPPORT FOR SCHOOL DIRECTOR. Mr. Knight Is One of Largest Taxpayers of City and Has Fine Official Record. Stephan Knight has been a resident of Denver for the past 42 years. He has been connected with the Colorado Milling & Elevator Company for 30 years and rose to the position of general manager from a clerkship on his own merits. He is also president of the Campbell-Sells Baking Company and the Macklem Baking Company, two of the largest concerns of their kind in the state. Each establishment is an employer of a large number of men. Was Graduated from Schools of City. Prior to the consolidation of the school districts under the twentieth amendment Mr. Knight was director of School District No. 2 for eight years. That district comprised all of West Denver. For the past five years he has been a member of the consolidated school board and is now its president. Mr. Knight is not only a pioneer, but he was married to the daughter of one of the oldest pioneers in the state, C. R. Davis. His two sons were graduated from the Denver graded schools, from a Denver high school of this city and from the State university at Boulder. Both are now in charge of the two baking establishments of which he is president. Stephan Knight is one of the heaviest taxpayers in the city and, while he does not believe that Denver's public schools should be stinted in the matter of financial support, he believes, he says, in a policy that will protect the taxpayers against extravagance in expenditures. "I believe in getting the best results for the money we spend," said Mr. Knight. "At the same time I do not believe in a penurious policy that will militate against the high standard that has been established in our public schools. All semblance of graft must be eliminated and the business end of public school administration must be conducted along sane and conservative business lines for the protection of those who support the public schools." Hundreds of Taxpayers Will Support Knight. With 13 years' active experience as a school director, with an established record of success as a business man and with an intimate knowledge of the needs of the public schools, Mr Knight, it was learned, has been pledged the support of hundreds of taxpayers, among whom are many leading business men.

JOHN ALLISON first under the heading, commissioner of property on the ballot. I Am Not a Reformer. If I am elected I expect to assist the council, (which will be composed of the commissioners of the various departments) to run the city in a conservative, business way. I believe in equal rights regardless of party, nationality or religion. Let us Have Peace. Mud-slinging, factional fights, and petty quarrels among the city officials must stop. It hurts the name of our beautiful city, not only at home but also abroad. At present investors are afraid to come to Denver and we need all of them we can get here. Business Not Politics. Should run this Lack of space forbids printing my policies here, but in ample time before election I will have them printed and distributed throughout the city and if you agree with me I will ask your support to the extent of one vote.

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. KATHERINE KILKER McGOVERN. Candidate for Commissioner of Social Welfare. In these days when women are actively entering the business world, there is much fear abroad that the home may suffer by the exchange. The demands of home life and of the civic needs are each so incessant that there is imminent danger of sacrificing one to the other. Among those women who have met his problem and have been able to "make good" both as a home maker and as an efficient factor in public life is Mrs. Katherine Kilker McGovern, wife of the well-known undertaker, E. P. McGovern. M. H. MRS. KATHERINE KILKER McGOVERN While Mrs. McGovern, who is a candidate for the office of commissioner of social welfare, has reared a family of six children and seen them graduated from the best colleges of the state, she has given as freely of her personality to the affairs of the "outside world." During her forty years residence in Denver her name has been the inspiration of many charitable projects and many political reforms which Denver is enjoying today. As treasurer of the Jane Jefferson Democratic Club and as a member of the Woman's Club she has introduced movements for the city's betterment. The office of commissioner of social welfare is peculiarly suited to a woman, and public opinion has set aside that office for a woman, and it is hoped that this office will be filled by a woman of Mrs. McGovern's type—one who will bring both efficiency and personality into politics. (Advertisement.) THOMAS F. McGREW. Candidate for Commissioner of Safety. Taking up my residence in Denver in September, 1890. I have followed the Real Estate, Insurance and Loan business continuously since that time. Have been actively engaged in this line of business for myself during the past 14 years. The only political position I have ever filled was that of Fire Commissioner of the Fire and Police Board and served as such from June 1st, 1912, to February 1st, 1913. Many things came up to contend with during this period not usual to the regular duties of the Fire 'Commissioner and I was in service continually during this time. The Cherry Creek flood came upon us and I was in service from 3 p. m. Sunday until 3:25 a. m. Tuesday continuously. We distributed hose to all business men who applied for same until we almost crippled the department however, we did not lose one section of hose and we received the thanks of the business men for the accommodations extended. We raised $6,240 for the Convention of the Fire Chiefs, of which amount their still remains a balance of over $760, which could be placed in the Firemens Pension Fund. We successfully gave the Firemens Ball, which had not been given for ten years or more, same netting about J. B. H. THOMAS F. McGREW $4,000 for the pension fund; Engine company No. 3 (colored) gave a ball which netted about $100 for the pension fund, so that you will notice, should you transfer the balance of $760 from the chiefs convention fund to the pension fund, you will readily see that during the year we added about $5,000 to the pension fund, and should these dances have been given annually during the past ten years the pension fund would have been benefited to the extent of $50,000 as well as interest on same. We increased the roster of the department to 225 men, the largest number-of men the department has ever contained, and at the same time carried the department to a $16,000 credit balance, out of which we purchased four run-abouts for the assistant chiefs, one $5,000 sixty-five foot aerial truck, together with horses, harness and other equipment for same, two fire house locations for the sixteenth ward, helmets for the men, nozzles and other equipment. I feel this a record that one can well feel proud of, and should the people elect me to the office that I aspire to, that of Public Safety, same will receive my untreining efforts, and I believe I will meet with the same success as your Comissioner of Safety as I did while acting as your fire commissioner. Candidate For Commissioner of Public Safety. Mr. M. T. O'Connor, who is a candidate for commissioner of public safety, is a man well known in our city, for 20 years a prosperous business man; a man who is a large taxpayer, and a man who has borne an excellent reputation. He was for several years secretary of the Plasterers' Union, which is one of the largest labor organizations in this city. Mr. O'Connor is one of those kind of citizens that go to make up a progressive city. He thinks no good citizen advocates what is commonly called an "open town." It is against good morals, good government and good principles. But every broad-minded citizen believes in equal rights to all, which means that thinking people believe that just so long as no one person or association violates the law of common decency, the law-abiding citizen of liberal views has just as many rights as the narrow-minded citizen of narrow views—and at the same time both have the right to follow their respective paths unhindered by the other, as long as neither violates the moral obligations of the law and of good citizenship. Mr. O'Connor is a broad-minded man, one who has at all times look- J. H. M T O'CONNOR ed to the welfare of the public; having during his 20 years as a citizen of Denver never taken part in any campaign, but was at all times in favor of home industry and was a legitimate builder of Denver. Mr. O'Connor says: "Denver is necessarily a city of amusement. For various reasons, the people who live here demand those liberties that are guaranteed by the constitution of the United States. There may be some who do not believe in any amusement that keeps the resident out late at night If so, they are entitled to the right to retire early. In the same breath, there may be those who, for one reason or another, desire to remain out as late as midnight, or even later. They are entitled to the same personal privileges as are accorded to the residents who desire to retire early. I wish to say that if I am elected to the office of commissioner of public safety that I will not molest any law abiding citizen, so long as he keeps within the bounds of the law, and that I will insist on, furthermore, I wish to say that everyone will get a square deal from a man who has pledged himself to be on the square. For Commissioner of Improvements. At the request of a number of tax payers I am brought forward for election to the above office. Being a resident of Denver for very many years, and filling various positions in the city from time to time, chief of which was Civil Engineer, I feel from the experience gathered, that in the interests of the tax payers I can serve T. H. John. B. Hunter faithfully if elected. A square deal to all men in my business is my platform, and knowing the good results that accrue from continually acting this way, I cannot but put the same in action in my public life. A man who is thoroughly conservant with the City must necessarily be acquainted with the needs of its improvement and the lasting benefits to be derived from such improvements. Feeling that there must be confidence placed in me by the people who requested me to become a candidate, I give the assurance that whatever lies in my power to assist in making Denver one of the most beautiful cities of the world, and worthy of its progressive citizens, the same shall be done. Don't forget—election May 20th. For Commissioner of Safety. The policy of this candidate is that Denver be an up-to-date city and live up to its name as the "Playground of America." In his experience as a member of the fire department, being a worker and executive officer, he feels that he has the necessary fitness for the position he now seeks; and in his spirit of fair play for such laws that will cater to the betterment and not the detriment of the people. GEORGE BECHERER he does not indorse a wide open nor hermetically sealed Denver. His cooperation with the Juvenile Court, morals commission and other agencies to reduce and eliminate crime will certainly be appreciated, as also his connections with various business associations which garrison him with the ability to grasp the live issues of the city at present, and make him thoroughly capable of dealing with them. The Colorado Statesman urges its subscribers and the public in general to bear the date of election, May 20th, in mind. Modern furnished rooms for rent. Mrs. A. Arnold, 2318 Arapahoe. Mrs. I. H.

He has never been a candidate for office before, but with his experience of the growing needs of Denver, also his service in the army during the Spanish-American war, he feels he can fill the position that he now seeks as his motto is Business and not politics should dominate our city affairs, and” therefore promises faithful services ifs elected on May 20th. ¥ George Becherer, candidate for com- missioner of safety should receive the united support of every colored voter in Denver on account of his attitude toward the negro.

DEATH OF JOHN W._ SHIPTON, A PIONEER OF THE WEST. Mr. John W. Shipton after a short illness, died last Saturday at Omaha, Neb., where he has resided for a num- ber of years at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Henrietta Crawford. Mr. Shipton was born in Missouri in 1826. When quite a lad, with his parents, he went to Iowa, where he resided for a few years, but the lure of the West called him and he joined a party in 1849 and went by ox team to California, After remaining there for a number of years he went to Can- ada, then to Chicago, afterwards re- moving with his family to Denver in 1868, thus becoming a pioneer of the Centennial State. Mr. Shipton was a very intelligent and industrious man, a prominent member and worker in the Zion Baptist church, where he was much beloved with the assistance of his lovely wife, who died in 1897, they at one time were the possessors of mth yaluable property. Of late years with the increasing infirmities of old age he had been taking life easy and divided his time with his daughter in Omaha and with his other daughter, Mrs, Ellen Russ, in this city. Mr. Shipton is survived by four daughters and three grandchildren, the daughters are Mrs. Annie Davis of Skagway, Alaska; Mrs. Ellen Russ, Denver; Mrs. Henrietta Crawford, Omaha. and Mrs. Joburness Hamlin, St. Louis. ‘The body of the deceased was brought to Denver Tuesday.

A room is really a picture, or at least it should be composed with due regard to its esthetic possibilities. The walls are the background of which doors and windows are a part. The furniture is in the middle distance and the family furnishes the foreground. It is evident that if the wall paper is figured conventional designs are always best and the designs should be worked out in varying tones of the dominant color. This dominant color may be any that lends itself charmingly to interior decoration. It should be soft, rich and beautiful in its varying shades. It is not enough that it should blend with carpets and curtains or contrast harmoniously with them. It should be favorable as a background to the persons who make the main part of the picture, it should bring out the flesh tones, or at least not spoil them, and it should not clash with the colors of the garments worn by those who pass their time within the four walls of the room. Moreover, it should simplify the lighting problems, whether the position of windows or the effect of electric lamps is taken into consideration. SETTING FOR TOILET TABLE Various Dainty Accessories Are Offered for the Fancy of the Woman Who Likes Pretty Things. Very lovely are the cut-glass salt bottles with square stopper of enameled on silver gilt in the daintiest and most artistic designs, while the large cut-glass perfume bottles have enamel stoppers and tops, the enamel generally toning with the prevailing color of the room. A silver ruler with inch and centimeter measurement, which holds rubber, pencil and pen when the end is taken off, also finds a place in the boudoir. And a new paperweight in the form of a ruler with a handle in the center, the inch and centimeter measurements being marked thereon, is amongst the latest of useful feminine trifles. Vells Now Often Discarded. Vells are very much less worn than they used to be in past seasons. They are less easy to wear with very small hats, for the simple reason that they may easily touch the eyes or at least the eyelashes; but, since the extremely small hat is specially reserved for the very young woman, she may well permit herself to meet the full glare of daylight in the street without any softening vell. Besides this, some hygienic people pretend that the veil is harmful both to the complexion and the sight, and, while it is also true that the contrary opinion is held, the devotee of fashion will follow her own personal opinion without bothering her head about any other—Paris Edition of New York Herald. In Cherry Red Cloth This Costume Would Be Fit for the Adornment of Any Woman. For this house dress might be selected red cloth of fine texture. The skirt is made with a panel down back and a wrapped seam down front, which is rounded off at the foot to show a small panel of braided satin in a delicate shade of gray. The bodice has a yoke and deep cuffs of this; the sides and upper part of sleeves are cut Magyar and THE LADY'S DRESS laid on with wrapped seams; material fills in the space below yoke; a black satin ribbon is taken round the waist and arranged to hang in a bow and end in front. Materials required: $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards cloth 48 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard satin 40 inches wide, 3 dozen yards braid, 2 yards satin ribbon. Cotton In Netting. One bride is making her comforters in an unusual way, says Good Housekeeping. She incloses the cotton batting in mosquito netting, tacking it here and there. Then she slips this into its outside cover. When the cover is soiled it is very easy to rip open one end and remove the cotton and also as simple to put the whole together again AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The negro should not seek aid outside in accomplishing anything for his uplift that he can possibly accomplish without. We should help ourselves all we possibly can. Much has been done to help the race to attain unto its present position, and much must still be done. It takes more than fifty years of giving, praying and laboring to blot out the sins of 250 years of slavery, supplemented by generations of barbarism. He should be helped in the most practical and effective way. He should not be helped in doing what he can do for himself. He should not be pitied nor censured for not working, but should be given an opportunity to enter any position for which he is fitted, and go up or down on his merit. Very often where money is given it is not the thing that the negro needs most. He needs fair play and a chance to earn money to educate his own children and to buy his own home. It is also observed in this matter of giving that many of our most deserving institutions are entirely overlooked and often those who are the most reckless in management, resultless in endeavors, untruthful in the presentation of their cause, not only get a hearing, but get money. We do not censure people who give, because in their hearts they are exceedingly anxious to help the race, but we do censure the negroes who know the truth and will not put these representatives of fake institutions out of business. Our own ministers and devoted laymen, both men and women, must take up their own work of race uplift, of rescue, of provision for the needy and fallen of their own people. So The Age would encourage all those of the race everywhere, both men and women, who are engaged in the work, or assisting it, of reaching the man and woman of the race in the street, whether they be on the downward way or are slowly falling to it. And we have this assurance amply demonstrated, that if we will begin the good work, even by organizing to do it and putting in our pennies, plenty of white people with plenty of money will be drawn to it and amply assist it; but they require a sign, and the sign is the evidence that we are organized and doing as best we can the things needful to be done for our own—New York Age. Turn over a new leaf by starting a bank account in a savings institution. Start with a nickel if you can't do it with a dollar. Start it; that's the main thing, and add to it every week, if it be but a nickel, for fifty-two weeks. A man feels better towards himself and the rest of mankind when he has a penny where he can put his right hand upon it than when he has nothing—and the rest of mankind thinks better of such a man. A negro accompanied William Clark of Lewis and Clark's expedition, which in 1840, explored the sources of the Missouri river and gained for the United States the vast and rich extent of land known as the Oregon country. To remove ink stains from colored wash goods cover spots with lard, rub well, then wash in usual manner. While this method is simple, it is sure and will not injure the most delicate colors. The turn in the lane is sometimes better if it had not turned at all. Negroes were among the first adventurers to look for gold in California, and when John C. Fremont, in 1848, made his desperate and disastrous attempt to find a pathway across the Rocky mountains, he was accompanied by a negro named Saunders. Suede shoes that have become shiny and worn looking can be freshened by rubbing them with fine sandpaper. A coarse cloth dipped in salt and water and rubbed over straw matting will prevent it from turning yellow. Races may hook and races may crook, but the fool bets on forever. A negro by the name of Little Stephen was the first discoverer of the country of Zunnis, what is now called New Mexico. Insist upon all the clothing in the family wash being plainly marked. There is nothing so annoying to whoever puts away the clothes as to guess to whom the different pieces belong. When the world of women turn down those foolish hats, and make a bonfire of them, mere man will find a match. The fellow who grumbles because things don't go his way would be grumbling if too many of them came his way. Colored women of Decatur, Ill.. wives of union men, have organized an independent women's union label league. So far as known, this is the first auxiliary of colored women in the country Time is the decisive factor in the accomplishment of any great purpose. The races have accomplished most and of a lasting character in the past who possessed the greatest patience in working out their problems of whatever sort. The Chinese, the Egyptian and the Aryan races are the greatest in this respect of all those who have "Survived the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds." They have builted for the ages because they were not in a hurry about it and preferred thoroughness in the workmanship that required infinite time and patience, to immediate results, rushed through in a hurry, with the least expenditure of time and patience, and, therefore, all the more subject to the gradual mutation of wear and tear. The New York East river bridges and the subways are works of the character that required time and patience, and were built for the future as well as for the present. The growth of character and the material evidences of growth are always a slow and tedious process, in the individual as in the race and nation. The National Negro Business league was organized in Boston thirteen years ago. Its growth has been progressive, and the good it has accomplished by precept rather than example has been more far reaching than its organizers could have dreamed of. It has had but one president, two chairmen of the executive committee and two treasurers since its organization, although the membership has steadily increased in numbers and improved in character. The business activities of the race have been vitalized and expanded with the years, so that where they were but few they are now to be found in every nook and corner of the republic, modest indeed but full of the promise of large growth. The business league has blazed the way for them, and will continue to do so, if our business men are wise enough to keep it alive in the future, when they no longer need to be led in the way they should go. The activity of colored lawyers in the District of Columbia partially prevents such unwarranted arrests of colored people there as are made farther south. When such a thing is done, and the colored lawyer is successful in getting your acquittal before the court, the policeman who made the unwarranted arrest is frequently made to answer before the trial board. Once he is clear from the trial board, he is ever afterward more careful. The liberty of the colored people in any community in this country will be great in proportion to the unrestrained activity of colored lawyers in their midst; and their liberty will be curtailed in proportion to the prevention and suppression of colored lawyers. Members and the ministers of the African Methodist conference in Indianapolis and in the south have started a movement to raise $100,000 as part of the Freedmen's Aid society fund to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the negro's freedom. White members of the Methodist conference have agreed to raise $400,000, providing the negroes obtain $100,000. The fund will go to the general fund for maintenance, endowment, repairs, and new buildings of institutions for the education of the negro. Dr. I. Garland Penn of Cincinnati, secretary of the Freedmen's Aid society, has general charge of the negro campaign. A historical study at Harvard university revealed the following: Negroes accompanied the first Spanish explorers and discoverers of America across the Isthmus of Panama with Balboa, and assisted in constructing the first ship that was launched in the Pacific. They were with Cortez in Mexico. Negroes were with DeSoto in 1640 and the first stranger who settled in the state of Alabama, was one of the negroes who accompanied DeSoto on his march through the state. Judge a man's wealth by the directoire gowns his daughters wear. The first question from a woman of another: "Is she pretty?" Enter the Marathon race for the swiftest cure for cynicism. Popularity often means a lot of trouble with poor results. It's not the long day that wearies us so much as the long time between freedom from small cares. The coquette is wise in little affairs, but she doesn't know when the great gods pass. What's the use of preaching abroad what you can't accomplish in your home? The world soon finds it out. The man who is forever correcting others' mistakes can't be expected to take time for his own. If you haven't got any other line, why just hold on to the line of least resistance.

Farmers Are Informed That All the Winged Creatures Are Helpful in Destroying Pests That Injure Crops—All Are Voracious. Washington.—"Fifty common birds of farm and orchard" is the title of one of the most remarkable bulletins that have been issued from the department of agriculture for a long time. The first edition is chiefly for distribution to members of congress, but the bulletin is of such general interest that its likely to run through many editions and take a place with the department's famous "Horse Book" as one of the classics of agriculture. The bird book consists largely of pictures, but, as the introduction says, these are given prominence for a specific purpose. They are small color drawings, made by an artist who is also an ornithologist. The picture is used in each case as an idification of the bird, and the 250 words of text that accompany the picture relate merely to the bird's habits and range and the character of its food. Dr. Henry Henshaw, chief of the biological survey, from which the book is issued, says that the records it contains are the result of the examination of about 50,000 bird stomachs by the experts of the survey in twenty-six years. He adds, however, that these stomachs were obtained, so far as possible, from scientific collectors, because the birds themselves are too valuable a national asset to be destroyed when avoidable, even for the sake of getting data on which to base laws for their protection. Dr. Henshaw says that the object of the book is to give farmers and far- M. H. David F. Houston, Secretary of Agriculture. mers' boys a ready reference publication by which they may tell at a glance which birds are valuable and which are harmful. It gives some figures which show what a large amount of good to agriculture birds do in destroying insects and eating weed seeds. He points out that birds are vocacious eaters and have to work industriously not only for their own food, but for the food demanded by their ever-hungry nestlings. In this connection he points out that the stomach of a single unobtrustive field sparrow taken in New York contained three-quarters of an ounce of noxious weed seed. On this basis it could be calculated with fair accuracy that the sparrows alone in New York state destroyed annually 845 tons of weed seeds. Many of the other figures given are equally interesting and surprising. The author says that nearly all birds are useful either as insect or weed eaters. Even the birds of prey, like hawks and owls, that have a bad name among farmers, do much more good than harm. In the case of a single owl's nest there were collected from the neighborhood 3,000 skulls, mostly those of rodents, such as rats, mice and gophers. "It will not be very long before the American Wireless Telegraph will en- Wireless to Canal Zone. naval wireless towers will be constructed in the Panama Canal zone, duplicating the initial plant at Arlington, near Washington. When they are completed Washington will be in communication with the Panama Canal zone, from where messages can be transmitted to the Philippines, Hawaiian islands, San Francisco and across the American continent to the capital. Many of the smaller islands in the Pacific ocean will also be connected by the wireless. Very soon experiments will be conducted at the Arlington station, and also on the Elfel tower, in Paris, to establish the longitude between the two countries. The work is of great importance, for when similar data are obtained by other nations the information will permit of the drawing of a true map of the world." Exports from the United States to South America will approximate $150,000,000 in the South American fiscal year 1913, against $41,000,000 in 1903, $33,000 in 1893, $30,000,000 in 1883 and $30,000,000 in 1873. Imports from South America will approximate $240,000,000, against $107,000,000 in 1903, $102,000,000 in 1893, $77,000,000 in 1883 and $67,000,000 in 1873. In both imports from and exports to South America the chief growth has occurred during the last decade, the growth having been more rapid in exports than in imports. This rapid growth in the exports to South America is especially interesting in view of the fact that manufactures form over 85 per cent of the total merchandise sent from the United States to that grand division, while they form but about 32 per cent of those sent to Europe and 47 per cent of our exports as a whole. This growth in the exports to South America is distributed among a large number of articles and practically all the leading countries of that continent. To Argentina, for example, the total exports increased from $32,000,000 in the fiscal year 1908 to $53,000,000 in 1912, the chief growth having occurred in mowers and reapers, which increased during the five years in question from $1,000,000 to $2,250,000; plows and cultivators from $781,495 to $1,722,095; automobiles from $72,396 to $860,350; steel rails from $290,343 to $862,511; iron sheets and plates from $460,784 to $1,778,283; sewing machines from $440,045 to $724,134; steam engines other than locomotives from $259,481 to $1,342,578; windmills from $782,429 to $1,072,489; glazed kid leather from $6,864 to $1,141,661; boots and shoes from $94,661 to $377,407; naphthas from $332,760 to $1,642,477; cotton-seed oil from $239,139 to $600,881; printing paper from $168,923 to $733,003; soap from $61,219 to $370,834; and lumber, including only boards, deals, etc., from $3,621,074 in 1908 to $6,855,547 in 1912. Country school children generally are not as healthy as children in the tion, which bases its conclusion largely on investigations made by Dr. Ernest B. Hoag into rural educational conditions in Minnesota. Failure to teach the children in the "little red schoolhouse" even the rudiments of hygiene, and the ignorance of the average country teacher along this line are held to be the causes. Poor ventilation of the country school is a large factor in undermining the health of the children, in Dr. Hoag's opinion. As a result of this, he says, the children generally are afflicted with headache, earache and other ailments of a completely avoidable nature. In his investigation Dr. Hoag found that 80 per cent. of the children in country schools drank tea and coffee; that 40 per cent. of them suffered from almost constant toothache, and that from 19 to 23 per cent. had frequent headaches. "When I ask those who drink coffee to stand up," says Dr. Hoag, "nearly all the children arise; when I ask how many have a tooth brush, nearly all say they have, but when I ask, 'Did you use it this morning?' there is little response." Dr. Hoag advocated medical inspection and the instruction of the teachers in hygiene and its practices. the public by fraud operators doing business through the mails and arrested during the year, which ended June 30, 1912, was approximately $52.000,000, as compared with the estimate of $77,000,000 for the previous fiscal year. There were over 4,000 cases bearing on fraud schemes alone assigned to inspectors during the past year for investigation, and the department succeeded in arresting 572 persons and convicting 263, with numerous cases yet awaiting to be disposed of. The report says that the discount aging feature to the department in its fraud crusade is the character of sentences imposed by the courts, and that in a number of instances parties, who have robbed the people of millions of dollars have received sentences of only a few months, and it generally appears in certain of the courts that defendants who obtained several hundred thousands of dollars and were guilty, as charged in the indictments, have been sentenced to pay only small fines, ranging from a few dollars to three thousand dollars. Giddy Life in a Small Town. The Fort Scott Tribune tells of a Kansas City man who visited recently his "country cousin" in Fort Scott The man from the city, wishing to explain the joys of metropolitan life said: "We have certainly been having fun the last two days. Thursday we automobiled to the Country club and golfed until dark, then we trolled back to town and danced until morning." The country cousin was not stumped in the least, so he began telling of some of the pleasures of simple life. "We have purty good times here, too. The other day we bugged out to Uncle Ned's and went out to the back lot where we baseballled all afternoon. In the evening we sneaked in the attic and pokered until morning."—Kansas City Times. WAITING BLOW OF HEADSMAN HUNDRED THOUSAND MARCHING AGAINST FIVE THOUSAND MONTENEGRINS. NICHOLAS' HANDS TIED NICHOLAS' HANDS TIED Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, May 1.—Like a man with his head on the block King Nicholas of Montenegro is sitting, waiting for the blow of the headsmen, Austria, to fall and crush him and his fighting little nation. One hundred thousand Austrian troops are now marching against Montenegro by land, and thousands of Suatrian troops are proceeding by sea, say dispatches received from Antivarli. Against this great force King Nicholas has sent to the frontier his available fighting force, a handful of men, five thousand troops, weary and ragged from many battles already fought, and many of them injured. Against the forces coming by sea he has no defense save such as the old and infirm in those cities near the water may be able to present. "We will retain what we have won at such bitter cost or we will all die!" King Nicholas has said. His preparations for the Austrian attack are proof that his stand is not one of a braggart. He means what he says, the powers have decided, and sentiment in favor of the little country that dares all in defense of its rights is growing steadily. In addition to sending the only troops not engaged elsewhere to the frontier, King Nicholas is having mounted scores of heavy guns at Cattaro, the main point at the Austrian Montenegrin frontier, and is preparing the most stubborn defense possible. And, to make his position still more grave, the intimation comes from Rome that if Great Britain, France and Russia do not support Austria in her action, or isolate that country in its move against Montenegro, Italy in defense of her own interests will step in and attempt to enforce the decision of the powers. SENATE TO PASS WEBB BILL. Japanese Land Controversy Likely to Lead to New Treaty. Sacramento, Calif., May 1.—An open right of way for final action in the Senate on the Webb anti-alien land act has been prepared by the floor leaders in the upper house, and before night a concrete expression of the Legislature's attitude toward Secretary of State Bryan's diplomatic visit will be at hand in the shape of a vote on the most drastic land holding act yet proposed. Secretary Bryan spent the day in San Francisco. It was not known whether he had received further instructions from President Wilson. A long debate is not improbable, and a few amendments will be offered but they will be resisted with the full force of the administration leaders. In comparison with the drafts that preceded it, the Webb act is said to be more drastic and effective in reaching the Japanese farmers of the state than any other proposed measure and at the same time least objectionable of all from an international point of view. Senator Thompson denied that the wording of the act or any part of it can be taken as a concession to the objection of Secretary Bryan, and Governor* Johnson stated that from what he understood of the situation, the measure did not have the approval of President Wilson. Bryan's Mission Far from Ended. Washington, May 1.—Inquiry at the White House on what might be President Wilson's attitude toward the Webb bill brought the information that the President deemed it prudent not to discuss the negotiations toward an adjustment. There is no disposition at the White House to regard Secretray Bryan's mission as having been completed. Mr. Bryan probably will stay on the ground until the whole matter definitely is cleared up. Mrs. Bryan Resting in Sanitarium. Washington.—Mrs. William Jennings Bryan, wife of the secretary of state, is taking a rest cure at a local sanitarium. Women Attack Troops and Police. Auburn, N. Y.—Militia called out did not prevent rioting at the International Harvester Company twine mills. There were several battles between police, soldiers, deputies and strikers.
