That National Democratic Fair Play Association is Composed of Hungry Office Seekers. VOL. XIX. Prejudice The Washington Becomes Laughing That National Democratic Fair Hungry Off Washington, D. C., May 21. Since the attempt of the National Democratic Fair Play Association, or more fittingly characterized as the "disseminator of race prejudice," to start trouble in the office of Recorder of Deeds, and the discovery of Senator O'Gorman and other statesmen that the association has been organized to throw out Republicans and supplant them with Democrats, tearing down the civil service bars at random, the organization has been less in the limelight, as the true mission of the hungry would be-office-holders has been exposed. Even the yellow journals who have been very liberal in giving the association space have become parsimonious, paying but little attention to what the spoilsmen are saying or doing, while the conservative journals, such as the Washington Herald, have begun to ridicule the National Democratic Fair Play Association for its hypocricy, greediness and un Americanism. Senator O'German, who was asked to investigate the office of Recorder of Deeds, the association having found a white woman who thought she had a grievance, has been convinced that the spoilsmen were merely trying to use him as a tool. Finding that the charges had been preferred by one whose record shows that she is incompetent, and that the association was trying to start a race controversy to get hungry Democrats work, Senator O'Gormon has ceased considering the association seriously, as have other Senators. There is no denying that color prejudice is on the increase since the Democrats have taken possession at Washington. There are hundreds of white and colored citizens who find it difficult to understand why the capital city of the United States should be disgraced by these radical outbursts, which makes the United States a laughing stock among other Nations. Even the laborers who work in the Navy Department have been separated. Rumors has it that Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, chanced to see the colored and white laborers eating side by side at noon hour. While they were eating from seperate dinner pails objection was made to them sitting side by side and eating. The "social equality" bugaboo was raised, and an order was issued that the white and colored laborers separate during meal time. In the Bureau of Printing and Engraving the colored and white girls have been separated since the visit of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Archibald Hopkins. Many of the white girls have protested against the segregation order, as they were on friendly terms with the colored girls. It is acknowledged that the colored girls are more efficient and have been of much aid to the white girls. Now every afternoon in the Bureau of Printing and engraving you can see the colored girls through with their work an hour or more before the white girls, and the latter looking at their former associates for help. The colored and while employees in the Government service have been working together for decades. The asininity of those who are clamoring for the segregation of races is plainly evident to all who are not swayed by race prejudice; for if the working side by side of the colored and white employees for years and years has not brought about calamitous conditions, what logical argument can be made that it is necessary to adopt such a narrow policy now? The majority of the chiefs of the various divisions do not take kindly to this new order of things, as it interferes with the efficiency of the office force. But what are they to do? They fully appreciate that the new administration is conducting the affairs of office from a political and not a business stainpoint. Overruled. "Oh, but, Judge," protested Jinka, when his honor imposed a ten-dollar fine for overspeeding, "look at your roads! No car ever made could have gone over eight miles an hour through that mire." "Thet's jest it!" said his honor, severely. "T'warn't nothin' but that there mud of ourn as held ye back!"-Harper's Weekly. Combination of Languages The Hebrews who live in Germany speak the German language, using among themselves a peculiar dialect called "Yiddish," that term being itself a corrupt form of the German word Judisch. Russian Hebrews also use this language, while by a curious chain of historic events Turkish Hebrews speak Spanish. Printed Yiddish shows an interesting combination of languages, the words being essentially German, but printed in Hebrew characters.—Christian Herald. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 31 1913.

Winston. 4015 Cottage Grove avenue, has been dismissed from the service of the Great Western Railway company. His activities against the measure, it is said, brought his dismissal. From information obtainable at the time we go to press it would seem that Winston has been the victim of a "frame up" by the higher officials of the road to get rid of him. He was dismissed upon a charge of insubordination based upon complaints filed by labor agents in charge of a bunch of Italian laborers. Winston says in his letter to the Ledger that he simply followed out the instructions of his superior officers in entraining and seating the passengers. It seems that he got the Italian passengers into the wrong car or it was so made to appear to the "higher-ups." When the quawk came up the train conductor and all others connected with the affair welched and laid all the blame on the colored man. His Maiden Name. A colored man in ol' Virginia had changed masters several times, and in each new home had a new name given him. At length he fell into the hands of a master who was in the habit of consulting the wishes of his negroes, and who asked, by way of getting acquainted: "What is your name, uncle?" "Jus' as yo' say, massa; jus' as yo' say," said the darky. "My las' massa called me Sambo, sah, but as well as I can' member my maiden name, sah, was Noah." Provide Fresh Air for Patients.

Seattle, May. 7.—Horace R. Cayton editor of a colored newspaper, lost his suit for $15,000 damages against a restaurant proprietor who asked him not to patronize his place. Superior Judge Ronald upheld the contention of the defense that Cayton was not deprived of his civil rights. According to the evidence Cayton after his first appearance in the restaurant was asked not to come again. He did come again, was served, not charged for the meal and again requested not to eat there. When the case came up in January last Cayton was not permitted to testify on the ground that he had served a term in the Kansas State Penitentiary for perjury committed in Gorham county, Kansas. Cayton married a daughter of former United States Senator Revels of Mississippi and is prominent in the colored community. Charleston, W. Va., May 20.

The defense was confident of acquittal on the special plea of insanity. The crime, on February 8, shocked the city. Young Von Behren, who is the son of B. F. Von Behren, a wealthy manufacturer of carriage wood stock and who was timekeeper and assistant superintendent at his father's plant, soon after work had started, drew two automatic pistols from his pocket and started through the factory.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Consolidation works wonders in development, if all parties concerned are sufficiently in earnest to appreciate its importance. All things, however small the beginning, attain a stage of magnitude when the forces, backing them, have in view a definite purpose; and, although obstacles apparently insurmountable may confront advancement, they disappear in the face of a solid stand. Determination relieves the pressure of obstruction and lightens the weight of burdens. The obligations, resting upon the shoulders of each individual, become easier to perform when we labor in a spirit of union. It is only when our divided ranks are assailed, that we feel the damage most. Defeat does not discourage efforts in the pursuit of honorable ends. We often invite the inconveniences by which our walks, are hindered, because we are too prone to surrender to despair. Nothing reaches great proportions without the trouble of cultivation; and whatever attracts the attention or wins the consideration of mankind has won it through pains and perils. There is no royal road to the attainment of success, either by races or by nations; and the monuments of greatness which commemorate the deeds of a people were planted by the toils and privations of those whose names are revered by posterity. The grandeur of the past serves to kindle aspiration in things of the present age; and the remarkable achievements of earlier days have ever set a worthy example for succeeding generations to imitate. But, the mighty deeds which have merited the aplause of ages, were not the accomplishments of single actions, but, the results of a bond of union upon which all progress leans. The stability of governments, the prosperity of nations, the maintenance of authority are all due to a concert of actions by which conduct is regulated and personal rights secured. The world, as it grows in age, increases in fame; but, its conquest is the outcome of what men accomplished in numbers. Sincere devotion to the needs of the hour, renders activity in human ranks and the awakening of dormant energy is the kindling of ambition. Protection against encroachment follows in the wake of union, and baffles the fulfillment of base designs. The aims of avarice are checkmated when pitted against its strength; and is sufficiently able to guarantee its safety in times of tribulations. In our worldly combat, the strong dominate the weak. Greed is ever insistent, when conscious of its might; and if arrayed against that which is powerless to withstand its demands, is arrogant to the extreme. All classes of men, irrespective of racial connection, seek to prey upon helpless conditions, and are more active in the game of spoliation than the process of elevation; hence the necessity, duty and wisdom of action in a common cause for the promotion of a common end. Experience is the sternest of teachers; and whatever is gained thereby remains stamped indelibly upon the memory, nor is time able to erase its effects. There is ever an advantage to be gained by those who walk together in brotherhood, to rise above the common level. They prove true warriors in our daily strifes. By intelligence, industry and integrity you may become worthy of the best that the world has to give, and then you will be as great in a hut as in a palace.—The Torch Light. There have been a great many negroes in the past 50 years who neglected to protect their rights in their inventions, and have died poor and unknown. The story is often told of one such New Yorker who invented many of the earlier railroad car appliances while employed by a certain railroad, but, failing to protect any of them, was defrauded of his rights and died in poverty. Such negro inventions should be careful to patent their work. It is not possible to estimate their value until the demand for them has been measured. Some of the simplest inventions like the bread-saving knife and the hook and eyes for dresses, have been the most useful and profitable.—New York Age. The Ninth Cavalry did the work in demonstrating to the world, and especially the United States, that the negro will do the same thing over again for the dear old U. S. A., if the eagle screams and the bugle calls.—The Weekly Reporter. The German standard of light measurement is nine-tenths that of the international candlepower. A colored minister of Richmond, Va., has invented a whistling piano, the keyboard of which is arranged on a scale somewhat different from that of an ordinary piano. It is reported to be capable of whistling the most difficult notes, and the inventor is confident that his device will become very popular with his own race throughout the world. An artificial leather for electricians' gloves that resist dangerous currents almost as well as rubber has been invented. HOT-BED MANAGEMENT. The hot-bed is a valuable assistant to the gardener and a thorough knowledge of the same leads to success. My method after the first year is to clean out each spring and mix thoroughly the soil and old manure from the beds and return it upon new, fresh manure, adding new soil as needed. After the beds become heated up and the temperature drops to 90 degrees, the seed is sown in drills four inches apart and covered according to the kind of seed used. Insert a thermometer into the soil at the beginning and hold the heat around 60 to 70 degrees by opening or closing the sash as necessary. In early spring, old strips of carpeting laid over the sash at night keep the frost away, and help to hold the temperature even. When the plants begin to show the third leaf, remove to boxes three inches deep, holding the same kind of soil as that in the bed. This soil is tamped down smooth and solid. Then use a small stick like a lead pencil to make the holes for the plants, making them at least two inches apart. Drop the plants in, firm the soil and then water well and return to hot-bed box and all and proceed in the care of them as though you had not disturbed them at all. When they get to be four inches high, proceed to harden them off by removing the sash during the day, but return it at night until the nights become warm. This hardening process is very essential before setting into open ground. In transplanting always use care not to injure the roots, and a very important thing to do it to firm the soil about the plant. When setting into open ground, do so on a showery day or at evening, and success is almost sure.—U. G. Patten. PASTURING STOCK. The trampling of very wet ground by stock causes the soil to "poach" and puddle, and if it dries out in this condition the soil becomes backed and very hard, and in such a condition that it is almost impossible to pulverize it by any method of tillage. If ground in such a condition is plowed, either wet or dry, it is apt to remain in a bad physical condition for a long time, even for several years. If the surface is left exposed to freezing and thawing, the poached or puddled condition of the soil will be largely corrected. If this land is in grass, about the best you can do with it is to run over the field with a harrow or disk during the winter when there is an open period, or cultivate it early in the spring. If the land is unplowed, I would advise not to plow it until after the freezing and thawing; then it would be a good plan to disk it previous to plowing. If this ground which has been tramped with stock while very wet is handled properly, as suggested above, the tramping may not result in seriously reducing the yield of crop another season. There will be some injury to the soil, however, and there is danger of neglect or improper handling, which may result in very materially injuring the land for future cropping. The safer plan is to keep the stock off the fields or pasture whenever the soil is so wet it will poach or puddle when the animals step on it.—Prof. A. M. Ten Eyck in Kansas Farmer. MOLE AN INSECT DESTROYER. The Illinois authorities recently made an examination of the stomachs of moles. It was found that half or more of the food of the mole consists of insects and their larvae, most of them noxious. So far as its food is concerned, the mole is thus beneficial on the whole. There is no direct evidence that it will eat potatoes or other tubers, but circumstantial evidence admitting that mice of herbiferous habit may occupy mole runs in fall. It was shown that corn may form an important item of the food of moles; that recently planted corn is sometimes destroyed by them, and that if numerous in corn fields in spring, they are capable of doing considerable damage there. The colored men must learn to make money faster and spend it for education, religious purposes and a good home.—The Messenger. Alcohol in conjunction with the Welshbach mantle is now used for the purposes of automobile headlights in Germany. Colored ribbon finishes the seams of a bag shaped precisely like an old fashioned carpet satchel having double handles, which, when joined, hold the two sagging sides together. This bag is usually developed in art denim or printed cretonne, but is attractively quaint in plain or figured tapestry, edged with tarnished gold braid.

Decoration Day the whole nation suspends the stern activities of life’s daily struggle to do homage to the sacred ashes of our honored dead. The nation’s tribute to those noble heroes is sufficient testimonial to general belief that death in the cause of one’s conviction is NOT a calam- ity, In all ages, among the greatest men, differences of opinion have arisen. ‘That many of those heroes conscientiously believed liberty, freedom and hu- man justice should not perish from the earth, was natural. Others believed with equal conviction that to surrender institutions which they had determined-to maintain under what they considered inalienable rights of state sovereignty, would be not only a confessoin of cowardice, but wanton dishonor. This contention was as natural as it is for the minds of men to differ. That they fought bravely and died nobly upon the great bat- tlefields, where devotion led them, entitles them to the greatest respect and homage their countrymen can bestow. With the termination of that memorable conflict sectionalism vanished to the four proverbial winds, and with one people pressing toward a common goal, one country and one flag as our heritage from that struggle, a Union has been established, the solidarity of which is the marvel of nations. All reverence and honor to those noble patriots who bled and died, em- bellishing the soil of many battlefields that their country might be dedicated to the proposition that all men are created free and equal. May ages prove that they died not in vain. As they lie in death side by side may their sacred ashes rest in peace— those of the Blue and the Gray. FRIENDLY CRITICISM HELPS.

Criticism or the calling to one’s attention of their faults is seldom kindly received, therefore we do not expect to add to our list of subscribers those who we criticise, but as they happen to be members of our race and our object is to help as much as we can to bring it out of the background to the front ranks among races of mankind we sometimes offer friendly criticism. ‘To accompiish our desire we know that it will take brave men, noble wom- en and good children, but these cannot be obtained from dissipated men or immoral women, Thus it is in the spirit of friendship that we offer friendly criticism to those members of the race who persist in living the lives of hypocrisy and deceit, Pushing themselves by one device or another into places where they are utterly unfit to occupy. Race pride, if nothing else, should keep those persons who are morally unfit for any kind of decent companions, from entering homes where par- ents are honestly endeayoring to raise good families. # — Shame should make them hide their faces from places where decent peo: ple assemble and their moral unfitness should be brought to their knowledge with the hope that they may change their way of living and honestly en: deavor to live better lives. We feel that any true friend will tell us of our faults and that it is every man’s duty to try to correct those faults and become a strong, beneficial man in every respect. In that way we believe that friendly criticism will help each of us to become atronger.

I well recollect that a schoolboy who took off his hat to a girl was called a Sissy and a Molly. That has all gone. It is not longer the feeling that a man is effeminate who is deferential to women. The feroigner will doff his hat upon meeting even his male friend. The employes in stores abroad always shake each other by the hand and say a pleasant word upon meeting for the first time in the morning. So tar as bowing profoundly and standing with bared head, the Latin peoples are incomparable, and Helen is pretty apt, before she is twenty-five, to think that the man who will do these things the most gracefully is the loveliest man who ever happened. But a glance beneath the surface tells 4 different story. Did you ever see a Frenchman carry the bundles on his wife’s shopping tour? A man who did such a thing in Paris would be laughed off the boulevard. We are all right in these things except where women are out of the spheres which they formerly oceupied exclusively. The disgraceful rush at the New York end of Brooklyn bridge about six in the evening is due to the rivalry of men and women who are engaged in the same work in the world. They are rivals for the same jobs in the city. Probably no woman in that crush would hesitate to seek, at $1 a week lower, the job that feeds the family of the sickly man who is elbowing her so that when the car comes in he will be just abead of her at the step, and he will get a seat while she has to stand for an hour. She probably calls him impo- lite. What he would call her for stealing his job is not yet in the dicfion- aries. If he had stood for that hour in the crush that pushed and fought in the aisle of the car, he could not have had the strength to work the next day. As she had to stand, she did not have the reserve, and she lost her job when she returned to it two days later. Was he impolite? Well, if he was, he was blameless. Tt comes back to the doctrine of self-preservation, If women will persist in entering as candidates for the prizes sought by men they must stand the gaff. They must abide by the rules of the game, for the game will not be changed 60 long as obtaining a living is a desperate struggle involving the use of every faculty we possess. cases the cause is in the doomed person’s inability to swim. Among the heartrending reports of the awful calamity which has visited our neighboring states the following significant sentence appears ‘more than once: “Those who were able swam to places of safety; others could not swim and were lost to the world.” A sad lesson is borne home with terrible force in that sentence. Taking for granted the facts that the torrents of the flooded districts would baffle even the most expert swimmers, it is only reasonable to assume that, had they been able to swim to a place of safety, many unfortunate victims might not have perished. | It seems not unjust to assume that a smaller percentage of the popu- ‘lation of our country is able to take care of itself in the water than is ‘the case in Europe. ‘The reason is that in most of the European countries the schools make swimming compulsory, while our public schools are conspicuous by their lack of real swimming facilities. To be sure, we have bathing beaches and swimming pools in some parks in most of our large cities, but the instruction one can receive in the healthful art of swimming at such places is limited. a “rich family.” This relation to the family is in every way a most inti- mate one. The person holding it must be tactful as well as conscientious. But it is to be regretted that many families who consider a governess an asset to their social position and appearance should in return for hei service offer the governess a salary of $6 a week! In order to feel that she “fits in” and at the same time meet with the critical approval of her young charges, it is demanded that she dress quite well. I have the feeling that young women are then inclined to acquire a liking for material things—the luxury of beautiful surroundings whic are to their detriment rather than to their good. ‘This is more true if she is placed with a family of recent wealth. ‘The woman seeking a refined young woman as governess to her chil- dren should carefully consider admitting the stranger within her home On the other hand, she should forecast its influence on the applicant, and be more generous than—six dollars a week! posed to use the term “mister,” it brought to light in a rather laughable manner one of the inadequacies of the English language. That there is need of a title applicable to all grown females of the human species regardless of whether they be married or single is quite evident. But to confiscate the term “Mr.” or “Mrs.” would not be an easy feat, as these titles are held by their present owners by virtue of long possession, and being hard to dispense with they would not be surrendered without a serious struggle. If it is necessary to annex a title or a prefix already in use, would it not be feasible to adopt the piquant French “madame,” which is now being ‘used to some extent by milliners and hairdressers irrespective of their mar- ital state? It is not likely that the few practitioners who are now availing them- selves of it would have any serious objection to its adoption for general use. ‘When the elevator breaks down the optimist laughs merrily because his office is on the eleventh floor instead of the sixteenth.

Strawberry Growing Is Possible in the Far North. Department of Agriculture Finds Cajd- Resisting Plant Susceptible to Cul- tivation—The “Tin Cow” No Wate ar Nn cananur Washington. — Native-grown straw- berries and cream in Alaska would have sounded like a comic supplement joke a few years ago. But they are now actualities, according to the ex: periment station report of the depart: ment of agriculture. Of course, the resident millionaires of the Klondike could afford to import strawberries from Indo-China it they wanted to. do so, but they prefer to grow them local- ly, and if the present prospects hold out they are likely to become a reg- ular market commodity and within reach of the common mine laborer who makes only $15 or $20 a day. ‘The-department of agriculture was interested in Alaska fruit culture for a long time, and explorers brought cold-resistant plants from-all quarters. Many of them did well, and the de- partment is now experimenting there with a black currant that will live out of doors at a temperature of —88. But the residents could not find a strawberry that would stand the cli- mate and bear fruit inside the narrow time limit allowed by an .Slaskan sum- mer. Finally the plant breeders took hold of the problem. The plant breeder is one of the latest developments of sci- ence. He is the wizard of the new horticulture. They found a little na- tive member of the strawberry family down on the coast near Sitka, The fruit was about as eatable as a mock- orange, but it was a natiye and in- ured to the climate. This was crossed with a good fruit-bearing plant from the states, and the result has devel- oped as a cold-resisting plant that bears a better fruit than either of its ‘Parents. The experiment station has ‘been growing them and next year they will be generally put out in the local gardens. As for cream, that 1s easy. The day has passed when Alaska had to depend on the “tin cow” and get its milk from the condensing factories. The department started several years ago with a small herd of the little shaggy, black Galloway cattle and found they took kindly to the soll and climate of Kodiak Island. To be sure, the big brown Kodiak bears that are big as elephants ate a few, and last year there was a volcano over on the mainland sixty-two miles away that sifted ashes down on the pastures and starved a few more to death. But the cattle did well in spite of handicaps, and the department now ts selecting some of the best milkers and build- ing up a regular dairy herd. Butter from the native cows has sold at times in Alaska cheaper than ‘it was doing on the same date in Washington. So the cream for the native strawberries 1s assured. It is true that the department has not yet found a sugar cane that will grow inside the artic circle, and the Alas- kans still have to import their sugar, but {f the sugar beet man ts to be trusted, he thinks in time he can de- velop a sugar beet that will grow on the Yukon. If that 1s the case, Alaska will feel so independent of the rest of the country that the chances are she will raise a kick in congress for an autonomous form of government.

This shows a slight decrease from the death rates of previous years. The statistics show a marked in- crease in the number of suicides and ‘deaths by violence. On the subject of suicides and other violent deaths the report reads: | “The total number of deaths trom suicide in the registration area for 1911 was 9,622, an increase of 1,032 over the preceding year. There is a tendency to apparent increase in the death rate from suicide. “The death rate of the white popu- lation was higher than that of the negro population. Among the regis- tration states, the highest death rates from this eause were in California, 30.1; Montana, 27.8; Colorado, 21,7; Washington, 20.7; and Vermont, 20.1: and among the cities of 100,000 popu- Jation and over San Francisco, 39.4; St. Louis, 37.7; Los Angeles, 37.2; Denver, 35.6; and Oakland, 35.1.” Of the total number of deaths in the registration area in 1911 classt- fied as violent deaths (excluding sui- cide), 54,028, more than nine-tenths, 50,121, were of an accidental or unde- fined character, the remainder being due to homicide.

Here are three: First, I am a stationery clerk; secondly, they want a sample of the old rascals, to show just what a bad lot we were, and thirdly, they seem to want me to stay, and I want to stay more than they want to have me. ‘There is not a senator, member of the house or member of the Supreme court who was in office when I began my work here.” ‘The net earnings of corporations of the United States for the calendar eh year of 1912 were Corporations’ $3,000,000,000, an ‘Big Earnings. increase of $260, 000,000 over 1911.

While the most of us are attribut- ing the floods to the neglect of men and their governments to take the necessary precautions in dealing with the rivers, Camille Flammarian, the eminent French astronomer, suggests a theory that puts the disaster over and above the power of man to pre- vent. We say that men have erred in narrowing the river channels and building bridges over them that in flood time serve as dams. He says that the disaster is due to the move- ment of the earth's crust. “The whole of the western section of the great lakes region,” he says, “is slowly but surely sinking in a south- westerly direction,” and then he tells us that somebody has computed that if the subsidence continues five cen- turies hence, Lake Michigan will end by running away into the Mississippl. ‘That may be. But in the meantime it will be well for men to deal ie the rivers intelligently and with fore- sight—Columbus Dispatch. Beards on Wheat as Lightning Rods. Wheat growers in general do not favor long-bearded grain, as the straw made therefrom {s not liked by farm- yard animals. Still, in windy regions the beard of wheat is found to act as a protection, its elasticity keeping the plants from injury. It also checks the inroads of birds. e But quite a new function of the pointed bristles has been discovered by Profesor Lemstron of the Univer- sity of Helsingfors, who points out that the points of the bristles disst- pate electricity, acting somewhat like miniature lightning conductors.

SACKED TO THE MEMORY OF ALLEED IVESANT OUR COUNTRY AND OUR FLAG THE flag itself is only a bit of bunting or a bit of silk. In what it stands for, what it covers and what it means to our country it is more precious than mines of gold and silver, and rivals the steadfast stars of heaven in its brilliant galaxy. Originally our flag floated over a few struggling colonies newly federated into states of a union. The daring courage of the men who lived under the flag when first the United States were separated by a stubborn and successfully fought war, from the motherland across the sea, awakens our enthusiasm when we look back on the historic page. This country was destined to grow as rapidly as Jack's famous beanstalk, with an immense territory stretching north, south, east and west. With inexhaustible resources of the soil, and ores of price in the caverns underground, its wealth was assured from the beginning. Small wonder it is that the nations of the globe have turned to it with eager longing, and that vast tides of immigration have continually swept upon our shores. NE stands at the entrance of a seaport and gazes at peasant folk carrying their small household gear in bundles and bags, and watches them as they take a train that shall carry them to a distant point where their life on the continent shall commence. In three generations the children of the immigrant shall be in the forefront of American civilization. Thus it has been in the past, and thus it shall be in the future. This great country means home under a free flag with thousands and tens of thousands who are crowded out by poverty and want from the older lands. The flag as the children in the public schools daily salute it is the pledge and symbol of room to grow, of health and hope, education and plenty. VEARS hurried on through varying scenes, and in a comparatively i scenes, and in a comparatively short space of the nation's existence it was all too frequently engaged in conflict. The children in school studying American history learn that we had a war in 1812, another in 1848, and yet another, this time between Flowers for the nation's true and brave The gallant souls that bore The stars and stripes to victory ourselves, in 1861. Our Civil war continuing during four stirring and memorable years resulted practically in the firmer welding of the nation. The men who wore the blue of the federal army and those who wore the gray of the Confederate service were led on either side by officers who had been trained at West Point. When the war was over, the men who had faced each other in battle dropped their enmity and became friends. MRS. ROGER A. PRYOR, a beautiful and gifted southern woman who made New York her home after the Civil war, said in one of her books, "We came into the arms of the enemy, and the enemy received us with love." Her husband had fought throughout the war on the side of the south. Memorial day, at first observed in only a few of our states, is today almost universally celebrated. There are few veterans on either side remaining to march in the ranks, for death has been busy and the old soldiers are passing away. There are already veterans of our later war, that Spanish-American flurry that came up like a gale from the south, raged like a hurricane, was soon over and left the nation richer in territory and stronger in position in the councils of the world. WE deprecate war and grieve for the losses it makes, the mourn- wing it causes and the blood that flows on fields of carnage. Yet, when all is said, war is sometimes a blessing in the end, clearing the atmosphere and making broad and stable the way of peace. Mars is always more heroic than Mammon. The women of our country should be in favor of peace, and throw the weight of their influence into the scale in its behalf, yet peace at any price is not what we should crave. Peace at the sacrifice of principle and the desecration of conscience may be bought too dearly. We scatter flowers on the graves of our heroes on Memorial day, decorating impartially the mounds of friend and foe. In the field of the grounded arms all sleep peacefully and, therefore, all are friends. Whoever has visited a national cemetery and, north or south, has seen the inscription "Unknown" on many a stone, must have felt a heartache at the thought of the men who never returned to their dear ones. How the wives and mothers and children watched and waited, hoping against hope as time went slowly by, that some day there would be a remembered voice at the door, a remembered step, a bronzed and weary soldier, coming home at last. They never came home, these unknown men, and when they were laid away in the grave all that any could tell concerning their careers was that they had died for their country. This was true, whether they fought under one flag or another, if they were honest and patriotic and willing to die for what they held most dear. Nature sympathizes with our effort to decorate the soldiers' graves. Her grass is green above them and her wild flowers are countless in the latter days of May; the gardens are a-bloom with the rose and everywhere we see color and brightness and beauty broad-spread as if the angels of light and love were invisibly busy to help the children of men. This is a beautiful country in which we live. Our relations with the motherland across the sea are reciprocal and intimate, and children are no longer by way of exhibiting resentment against England when they read the story of 1776. George Washington is forever a name to conjure, because in the Hall of Fame no name is whiter than his. We claim all that England holds most precious as our own. Her literature, her laurels and her glory are part of our inheritance. The great authors belong to us as to her and her traditions have entered into our national life. NOMINATING CONVENTIONS SHOULD BE ABOLISHED, SAYS REPRESENTATIVE BRITTEN OF STATE OF ILLINOIS. WILSON FAVORS PLAN HARRISON ASKS PRESIDENT TO GRANT INDEPENDENCE TO PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. Western Newspaper Union News Service Washington. — Representative Britten of Illinois sought President Wilson's views on his measures to provide a six-year single term for the President and Vice President, the abolition of nominating conventions and the choice of President and Vice President by presidential preference primaries and direct elections. Mr. Britten said on leaving the White House that the President favored the abolition of national conventions for nominating purposes, but thought them necessary to draft party platforms, and declared that Mr. Wilson approved presidential primaries and direct elections which would shorten the ballot. On the six-year proposition Mr. Britten said the President refrained from comment. Representative Francis Burton Harrison of New York appealed to President Wilson to grant immediate independence to the Philippine Islands. He declared that not only were the Philippines an easy point of attack for an enemy, but that the people were capable of self-government and deserved the promised independence. Mr. Harrison said he did most of the talking and that the President had not committed himself. NEW PARTY AGAINST CABINET. Japanese Negotiations With United States Government Progressing. Tokio.—The executive committee of Premier Count Katsura's new party has issued a statement declaring that the present Cabinet could not be relied upon to settle the California allen island ownership question and adding that after a conference with Count Katsura, who is convalescent from a recent illness, the party had decided to adopt its own propaganda with regard to the dispute. There are indications that the opposition parties in Japan are utilizing the California problem to discredit the Yamamoto ministry and to further their own interests. The Cabinet is generally conceded to be in a strong position with the public, chiefly because of the extensive economies and administrative forms which it has brought about. The Japanese foreign office has given out a statement that the efforts of the foreign office in the California question have not been as successful as might be wished but that the negotiations with the United States government are proceeding. Farmer Killed by Lightning Bolt. Keota, Colo.—William Horst, 25, a farmer living ten miles southeast of here, was instantly killed by a bolt of lightning, while his cousin, Jacob who was but ten feet away, felt no effect whatever. Senator Must Serve Four-Year Term. New York.—Former State Senator Stephen K. Stillwell, convicted of bribery by a jury after he had been exonerated by the New York State Senate, was sentenced to serve not less than four nor more than eight years. Mrs. Flagler Gets Bulk of Estate St. Augustine, Fla.—The will of Henry M. Flagler recites that J. R. Parrott, president of the Florida East Coast railroad, is to retain that post as long as he desires. To the widow is left the bulk of the $100,000,000 estate, it being provided that the estate shall be handled for five years by J. R. Parrott, W. H. Beardley and William R. Keenen as trustees, during which time Mrs. Flagler is to receive $100,000 annually. Marquette, Mich.—Introduction of further testimony to show the abstemious habits of the plaintiff was resumed in the libel suit of theodore Roosevelt against George A. Newett, publisher of the Iron Ore of Ishpeming, Mich., who charged him with drunkenness. Hanover, Germany.—A Horn, a German aviator, was instantly killed by fall from a height of 500 feet while making an overland flight. Forced Peace Urged. London.—It is believed the Servian and Greek delegates will sign the draft of the peace treaty under compulsion. The only hopeful development in the quarrel is an arrangement whereby the Servian and Bulgarian premiers will meet on the frontier to confer. Italian Peer Wants Rich Wife. New York.—A real, live, Italian nobleman, Prince G. Gatenl, is to enter the United States shortly in quest of a rich American bride.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street Room 25 --- Underwood & Underwood A gown of black charmeuse trimmed with lace. The skirt reveals a rich panel of the same material, accordeon pleated. Complete Transformation May Be Made in the Fashioning of the One-Piece Frock. It is rather astounding what a fashionable air can be given to a one-piece frock that has served during the winter as a house gown, by adding to it a belted jacket of figured silk matelasse or crepe. Also, it turns the gown into a serviceable thing for outdoor wear through the spring and summer and saves one the necessity of getting a suit. A dark blue crepe de chine trimmed with satin cloth which had served its purpose since December as a smart house frock was converted by one woman into a spring suit for the street and for afternoon wear by the addition of a dark blue watered poplin jacket which had a pronounced wave in it. This was lined with a figured silk in blue and yellow and belted in with a loose girdle of crepe BEAUTIFUL NEW MODEL BEAUTIFUL NEW MODEL Underwear & Underwear A new model of blue crepon trim med with white maline and lace collar. de chine run through a jet buckle in front. The revers were of crepe de chine and the long sleeves had a two-inch turnover cuff of the same. The economy of getting this garment was furthered by having a separate skirt made of plain material, which could be worn at odd hours with a white shirtwaist. Whatever else you forget in planning your spring and summer ward robe remember that the short dressy coat is probably the conspicuous garment of the moment. OLD POKE BONNETS REVIVED Made Into Things of Beauty by the Clever Hands of the Up-to-Date Milliner. Here and there one sees an alluring poke bonnet brought to life by the milliner who is clever enough to know that the old fashions are being revived, and if women wish to look like old prints they must have hats and mantles to go with the gowns. The revival of the poke bonnet has met with approval because in its modern shape it is exceedingly becoming and does not clash with the ideas of present millinery. It is not a scoop; it merely has a rounded brim in front to shade the eyes, and is turned up with a flap in the back. There is a chin band of black velvet or colored satin ribbon and a bunch of flowers over one ear. The milliners make these old-time flowered mantles to go with the hat and the same color scheme is sup posed to be carried out in the two. If a woman is going to attempt trim mind such a hat and making such a wrap at home, it is wise for her to remember this. Picturesque Note: Even in the matter of tailor-made gowns a certain picturesque note asserts itself this season, the severity of the coats, for example, being very frequently softened by the introduction of frilled jabots of net and lace emphasizing the Directoire style in which the collars and revers are cut. The coats themselves, too, show a very becoming fullness, both back and front, above the curved lines of stitched strappings with which so many of the basques are finished. The fabrics which are employed for some of these tailor-made gowns are in themselves exceedingly picturesque and far more decorative than the smooth cloths and fine serges which have been used hitherto for gowns of this description. Change Purse Bracelets. Change purse bracelets are among the new pieces of jewelry. The purse shaped like a tiny circular powder puff box, has a closely fitted spring operated lid which files back at touch and reveals a space for nickels and dimes. It is attached to a self closing extension bracelet so narrow that it scarcely shows upon the wrist and the purse itself is so flat that readily slips out of sight under the glove's wrist. WATER MAKES A DIFFERENCE Use of Hard or Soft Is Something for Serious Consideration When Cooking Is in Order. All cooks do not understand the different effects produced by hard and soft water in cooking meat and vegetables. Peas and beans cooked in hard water, containing lime or gypsum, will not boil tender, because these substances harden vegetable casein. Many vegetables, as onions, boil nearly tasteless in soft water, because all the flavor is boiled out. The addition of salt often checks this, as in the case of onions, causing the vegetables to retain their peculiar flavoring principles, besides such nutritious matter as might be lost in soft water. For extracting the juice of meat to make a broth or soup, soft water, unsalted, and cold at first, is the best, for it much more readily penetrates the tissue, but for boiling, where the juices should be retained, hard water, or soft water salted, is preferable. The meat should be put in while the water is boiling, so as to seal up the pores at once. If you are in doubt about the water the common test is soap. Hard water will not make a suds freely, while soft water will. Once acquainted with the nature of the cooking water, you can govern yourself accordingly in cooking. GOOD FOR AFTERNOON TEA Dainty Chocolate Cake That Has the Indorsement of the Best French Cooks. A little French chocolate cake which comes from a New Orleans cook makes a delightful afternoon tea cake. It is called "petits choux au chocolat." Put a quarter of a pint of hot water in a small saucepan with two ounces of butter and one of sugar. When this boils add gradually two ounces and a half of finely sifted flour and stir quickly until the mixture is quite stiff. Take the saucepan from the fire and stir the contents for about ten minutes, then add two eggs, one at a time. Beat the mixture up with a wooden spoon and put it aside to cool. Butter a baking sheet, lay the paste on it with a teaspoon in small round balls, plum size. Bake about twenty minutes in a moderate oven. When cold make an incision in the side of each and fill with whipped cream flavored with vanilla. Before serving glaze each separately with chocolate icing. Revival of the Quilt. From unbleached muslin cut squares to be used for a foundation on which to build the design. For instance, if you choose to piece a fan quilt, cut a piece of material of a plain color in the shape of a quarter circle and stitch it across one corner of the square. Four patches radiate from this to form a half fan, which, when joined to a similar block, completes the semi-circle and the fan. When the required number of blocks are finished, join them together, forming the large top of the quilt, and line with a layer of cotton. Over this stitch the lining, and the quilt is ready for quilting. California Irish Stew. Cut neat pieces from ribs or neck of mutton and put in a round bottomed Scotch kettle with about half a cupful of hot water. Watch carefully, and as the water boils away, brown the meat in its own fat. Then pour in boiling water to cover. Have ready tender carrots, celery, turnip and onion cut in uniform pieces, add to the meat together with a cupful or more of tomato and a little parsley. These go in about twenty minutes before serving. When done and tender add a little green pepper, thicken slightly with flour, season and serve. Cracker Puffs. Split six crackers and soak them for half an hour in cold water. They will be twice their usual size. Take them out with a skimmer, being careful not to break or crack them, and place them in a buttered pan, the inner side up. Butter tops of crackers and place in a hot oven. The oven must be very hot or the crackers will not puff. In half an hour they should be well puffed and brown. Serve them with any kind of stewed or pressed fruit with whipped cream, if desired, but they are nice without the cream. Quaker Muffins. One cup scalded milk poured on two-thirds cup rolled oats. Let stand five minutes, add three tablespoons sugar, one-half teaspoon salt, two tablespoons lard or melted butter. Sift in 1½ cups flour, four teaspoons baking powder. Mix thoroughly, add one well-beaten egg. Bake in hot greased gem pans twenty to twenty-five minutes. Some Cookery Hints The best way to warm up a joint is to wrap it in thickly greased paper and keep it covered while in the oven. By having it covered the steam will prevent the meat from becoming hard and dry. To hurry the cooking process of any thing cooked in a double boiler add salt to the water in the outer boiler. Ham a La Venlson. This is a dainty for Sunday night suppers: Put one tablespoon butter and one tablespoon currant jelly in a frying pan over a rather slow fire. When melted, lay in some slices of cooked ham, and fry each side until almost ready to burn. Remove to a hot platter and garnish with parsley.
