LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY KNIGHTS TEMPLAR CONCLAVE DENVER ALL AGLOW WITH ENTHUSIASM AND GENEROUS HOSPITALITY FOR THE PLUMED KNIGHTS VOL. XIX. KNIGHT TEMPER CON DENVER ALL AGLOW WIL EROUS HOSPITALITY FO Beginning August 11 and lasting to the 14, Denver will witness one of the grandest and most spectacular displays that has ever triumphed in the Rocky Mountain region, when the Knights Templar Triennial Session convenes here. Already Denver is being dressed for the splendid occasion and no small amount of effort, genius and money is being spent to put the Queen City of the West in her best attire to welcome and entertain her royal visitors. As colored citizens we should take just as much interest in this great conclave as the white citizens. We must not forget that there will be many colored gentlemen in our city at this conclave accompanying the visitors and they too should be royally welcomed by our colored citizens and made to feel at home in our midst. The Conclave will bring thousands of visitors to our city and these will spend thousands of dollars and we will receive a benefit from their coming in many ways. The cordial welcome and entertainment we may extend to the colored visitors may cause some of them to locate in our city with their families and buy homes or go into business of somekind. Let every Negro citizen join in the enthusiasm and help to make the Conclave the greatest in its history and cause the name of Denver to be heard throughout every city, town and village in this country. We have colored Knight Templars here and the instruction and inspiration which they may receive will be of great benefit to them. Denver has built a wonderful reputation as a convention city and this Conclave will clinch our reputation in that respect. It is just as much our duty to help make a bigger and better Denver as any other citizen and by joining in the spirit of the Conclave we make friends with our white brother. Boost our city and by so doing we boost ourselves. News to Him. "Why is it that they never place the pictures of living men on bank notes?" asked the fellow who had become rich by writing the words of "popular" songs. "Don't they?" the poet replied. THE JEW AND THE NEGRO IN THE OPEN The Jews and the Negroes of the United States have been forced into the open field by alleged white American race and color prejudice, and their lines promise to be drawn closer together as the contest for a square deal grows intenser with its unreasonableness. They are marked people. Their interests in the American situation are so much alike as to make it a part of wisdom to stand and fight together for their common rights in the American citizenship, hope and aspiration. There are more valuable things to contend for and enjoy than that of freedom to marry the women of other races than one's own, among which are the rights of equal participation in the advantages of the government and its manifold opportunities to vote and be voted for, to make an honest living and to be protected in the enjoyment of life and property without molestation or despoilment by greedy, envious or malicious, powerful enough to do so. There have been many occurrences here in New York, of late days that prove that our view of the situation is the correct one. A writer in the New York Sun says: "The failure of Sergeant Littman to get a commission in the National Guard does not surprise me. I know from my own experience that a Jew has no chance for promotion. I belonged to the Twenty second Regiment, which has a lot of Jews in it, and they do their duty. The Jews make good soldiers, as good as the Americans, Irish, Germans, Negroes or Italians. If the Jews had had the chance to fight for this country perhaps the civil war would not have lasted so long as it did. You would not now hear so much about the Irish Brigade or about Sigel's Corps. "what we should have is a regiment of our race, and we would show the county a regiment, as we have the money and men to do it. JACOB HERTZ. "New York, June 30." What authority has the New State Hist & Nat Hist Boctley State House 0, $1.25 CIT ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO DENVER. COLORADO. FRIDAY. JULY 18 1913. York Sun for treating the term "Negro" as a common noun designating a race in the United States; a race in the same sense as the Jew, the Irish and others? None whatever. It is intended as an insult, the degradation of a whole race to the sexless neuter of things in no wise persons. As the Sun persists in the offense, it makes itself the offender. The versatile anthropologists of the Sun could find some instructive occupation in tracing the relation of the American Negro to the people of the Black Mountain of Montenegro, prominent in the recent Balkan war, who were separated from their brethren of Africa at the Tower Babel, as the name of the race follows the individual as trade follows the flag. The Negroes of New York have been fortunate enough to secure the authorization of a regiment of their own of the National Guard of New York State. They could wisely help the Jews of New York to do the same. The investigation authorized by Governor Sulzer into the charges of Sergeant Littman that he was denied advancement by the officers of his regiment because he is a Jew established the unpleasant fact that the prejudice is very general among the officers of the National Guard, and that on that account the Jews should have a regiment of their own, if they desire one. As fugaitive sign that the Jews are wrathful as well as very much disgusted at the rapidly growing prejudice against them, here in New York and throughout the nation, last week, at an open-air meeting of a Protestant church, a Jewish evangelist screamed at one of DOCTRINE OF SCORN One of the strongest points whi his lectures and other public address doctrine of scorn, which many people consideration they give to the reel States. He says that a white man black is a white man with a narro scorns a white man because he is w. The one who is broad enough to reco and to refuse to scorn because of n and the one destined to reap reward only beautiful teaching, but correct One of the strongest points which Booker T. Washington makes in his lectures and other public addresses is a spirited denunciation of the doctrine of scorn, which many people, black and white, inject into every consideration they give to the relations of the races in the United States. He says that a white man who scorns a Negro because he is black is a white man with a narrow soul, and likewise, a Negro who scorns a white man because he is white is a Negro with a narrow soul. The one who is broad enough to recognize the soul smallness of the other and to refuse to scorn because of natural differences is the better man and the one destined to reap rewards in the years to come. This is not only beautiful teaching, but correct logic. Race scorn can never safely supplant the spirit of justice and reason. There is a certain amount of contempt for the Negro everywhere in this country because of his conditions and his present ignorance. In the most liberal community in the North or West there is a lurking prejudice that whispers its cowardly scorn for the Negro and his attainments, and that same spirit increases and spreads to disfavor opposition, oppression and contempt as we travel further into the sections of mixed habitations. But, after all, this whole evil is a natural evil. It would exist the same if the positions of the race were absolutely and entirely reversed, and the whites would be the victims such as the blacks now are. The mutual scorn entailed by such unusual conditions, when one race of men abuse and oppress another because of past conditions, color or any other cause, are in no degree a cure for the evil. They portend nothing good for the future, and do not do justice to either race in any of the relations forced upon them by virtue of their being citizens of a common the speakers, "You are a liar!" They put him out and the police magistrate placed him under $300 bond to keep the peace. If he had been a Negro evangelist, and if wrathful Negroes who attend public meetings of all sorts should arise and denounce the liars who lie about the Negroes as often as they do it, there would be much rioting at nearly every one of the religious chautauquas during the present summer where Southern oratorical blackguards appear, but the denunciation would break up the scandal next year there would be little or none of it. Finally the Jews of the country have just been jarred from their Dan to Beersheba by the action of the Greek letter fraternity, the Alpha Delta Phi Society of the country, in withdrawing the charter of its chapter from the College of the City of New York, because there are too many Jews in it. "Race prejudice is given as the reason for abolishing the chapter, which has been in existence for fifty-nine years and has extinguished alumni." says the New York Times. So! The World Almanac for 1912 gives the number of Jews in the world as only 11,625,656, and in the United States as only 1,903,626; while there are some 905,000 in Greater New York. There are 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States alone, but 121,000 only in Greater New York. The persecution of the Jew and Negro by the Christian nations, and by them alone of the nations, began with the introduction of the Christian religion in Rome soon after the death of Jesus, in the ministry of Saint Paul to the Gentiles, and they will be judged by that ministry in the fullness of time.—New York Age. NO 46 country and subjects of a common government. To properly realize these wise truths and to refuse to scorn because of them, is a Christian attribute that must be attained by the best of both races, if race differences in America are ever to disappear. Upon the one side men prate about the inferiority of the Negro, while upon the other we wail about the lying contempt and cowardly assumptions of the white man. The race press teems with savage thrusts at the white man, while the white man insists that the Negro's rights are not to be considered the same as his own. But what good is done? What justice is accomplished upon either side of this unequal range of hate and rage? None at all. The evil continues and the hate goes on. The best way to cure injustice is to do justice. We used to hate all white men because we knew them to be prejudiced, but we have conquered the feeling. Now we endeavor to prove to those we come in contact with that, if they are prejudiced, we are better than they. We succeed in this endeavor whenever we show better judgment, greater influence, shrewder capabilities, higher principles, wiser tendencies and a finer sense of justice, and thus practically humiliate our proud and better-situated adversary. And the practice works for good. No man can be beaten on high moral grounds and retain the arrogant conceit that he once had in himself. The way for the Negro to rise is by proving his worth by actual comparison and contact. It is the actual worth of our great men and women that staggers and shames and overcomes American prejudice, and not the hateful anathemas which they may hurl back at our persecutors. So should all Negroes cease the battle of vituperation and scorn and take up the policy of moral measurement and material progress. This would be in conformity with the wisest dictates of nature and the immutable law of God. Presumption, prejudice, arrogance and injustice are destined to be destroyed and removed from the relations of races in America, but only by and through the rebuke of superior attainments in the Negro.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS William Henry Lewis, one of the country's most eminent colored men, was a star football player at Harvard, a member of the Massachusetts state legislature, and recently, assistant United States attorney general, Booker Washington writes about him in the American Magazine in part as follows: "In 1911, when he was appointed to the position he occupied until recently, that of assistant attorney general of the United States, the colored men of Boston gave him a banquet at one of the leading hotels of the city. At this banquet, in reply to the congratulations showered upon him by other speakers, Mr. Lewis made a speech in which he made two references that particularly impressed me. He recalled the fact that in this same hotel in which he was at that moment an honored guest, he had once served in the capacity of a waiter; and in reference to the honor that had been conferred upon him, he declared that he had no illusion, he knew, he said, that it was not in spite of, but because of the fact that he was a negro that he had been honored with this high office. He added that he accepted the responsibility of the position not merely as a distinction conferred upon himself but upon the whole race which he represented. The reason I mention this fact is because it is not always comfortable to be a colored man in this country, and the inconveniences frequently increase as individuals, either by fortune or through their own particular merits, succeed in rising to a position above the masses of their fellows. One reason why I, with most other colored people, believe in, honor and respect Mr. Lewis is because, in the high position in which he has risen, he has neither forgotten his own path nor sought to separate himself from the race to which he belongs." Once more the red flag of race prejudice is being waved in Washington, and the days of reconstruction are being lived over again, according to a Washington correspondent of the Detroit Free Press. The old race question is to the fore in the national capital with its accompaniment of long-winded arguments pro and con on the question. The revival of the question is due to the organization here not long ago of the National Fair Play association, which, over night, has sprung into an important position, and automatically the problem has opened up again like an old wound. The basis of all the altercation is the question of whether or not white men and black men, white women and black women should be compelled to work side by side in government departmental offices. And it is the north and the south which are disputing the question, as it always has been and it ever will be when the race question is at the bar. In conformity with the ancient theory expressed by Thomas Jefferson in the declaration of independence to the effect that "mankind are more inclined to suffer evils which such evils are sufferable" than overthrow the organized system under which they are living and working, evil wrought by the enforced close association of the two races has been suffered for a long time, because those in charge have considered it better to suffer those evils than to disorganize the present order of things. But every few years some man or some society or organization of employees brings the question up again and it is all thrashed out along the lines of its original premises. Such an organization now is in process. The pretty girl gets the admiration and the solitaire; the plain girl who knows all about the art of cooking gets all the dinner calls she wants. Are dried fruits, such as figs, peaches and dates, necessaries or luxuries? Canadian merchants, who are asking for a reduction of freight rates, assert that these are now necessaries—made so by an elevation of the standard of living. Equality of strength in both arms occurs almost twice as frequently with women as with men, more men than women being stronger in the right arm than in the left. Many of the world's great men are unknown to fame. They are great because they share their pleasures with others and keep their troubles to themselves. In the southern states alone negroes are proprietors of 10,000 general stores, 30 pharmacies and 57 banking institutions. In the entire country they own 20,000,000 acres of land, and more than 600,000 houses. Some women love to keep a caged bird because they feel that way themselves. Trewyddfa mountain, near Morriston, England, on which the Swansea corporation has spent several thousands of pounds in providing municipal houses for workers, appears to be gradually sliding toward the river. Don't criticise your neighbor because the dust has settled on her furniture. Better that it be there than in your lungs. That the proposed adoption of a regulation by the commissioners of the District, establishing a closing hour for church services is a blow to religious liberty, and that the complaints against certain colored churches because of the alleged disturbance of the peace were based upon insufficient cause, were some of the statements embodied in the protest of pastors and representatives of a large number of colored churches of the District of Columbia made at a hearing before the commissioners. Formal resolutions in regard to the matter were presented by the Evangelical Ministers' alliance and the Baptist Ministers' union of Washington, composed of more than a hundred pastors of colored churches in the District of Columbia. It was further stated in the resolutions that "We do not ask that our churches shall remain open longer than theaters, dance halls, saloons or other public resorts." The resolutions stated emphatically that the organizations signing them do not deem it necessary to multiply ordinances to stop unseasonable meetings that do not exist. They added that if there should be an isolated instance of breach of community comfort the church violating the law should be dealt with individually. Complaints by residents in the vicinity of certain negro churches have been numerous recently because of alleged noisiness and the lateness of the hours to which their services extend. On receipt of the complaints the heads of the District addressed a communication to several of the colored ministers of the city, suggesting that a conference be held between the commissioners and the pastors, with a view to making the adoption of ordinances correcting the matter unnecessary. Institution to which we have vowed allegiance fall to prosper when indifference reigns; and in their operations, suffer the penalty of negligence. Then injury is elastic, and in its rebound does greater damage to the hurrier than the object which first received the blow. We are too intolerant in our disposition, and give prominence to injuries of small import; thereby destroying happiness and disturbing the peace of communities. Discord always weakens in any undertaking; and though, it may seem invisible, its blighting affects are felt. Dominion crowns a harmonious whole; and although the burden intended for many may be borne by a few, to a joyous and successful end, yet there exist for human uplift, a greater power and influence in the unity of all the parts.—Exchange. With the exception of eleven cities in the United States Honolulu has a higher percentage of tuberculosis patients than any city on the mainland. Richard H. Bowling (colored) of Norfolk, Va., won the highest honors at the sixty-seventh annual commencement of Bucknell university. After an impassioned plea for a broader opportunity for his race he was awarded the Chaplain J. J. Kane prize of a gold watch for the best oration in competition with nine other honor graduates, two of whom were young women. In spite of the fact that Bowling was hazed and had his hair clipped off by some southern students two years ago, he had the good will of the student body, and the award of the judges met with general approval. Bowling took as the subject of his oration, "The Negro and Our National Ideals." A truthful mirror is a woman's best friend, but it is hard to convince her of that fact. Plants, animals and birds of the Bible have been made the subject of a special exhibition in the natural history department of the British museum. By far the largest part of the world's turquoise comes from the mines near the Persian city of Nishapur, where Omar Khayam was born and lies buried. When a man is wealthy he possesses all but that which is given to humble souls to enjoy. An Illinois inventor has brought out an asbestos lined wooden cigar that may be filled with tobacco and smoked by those who like to be regarded as smokers of cigars exclusively. The upper side of a dirigible balloon built for the British navy has been coated with aluminum dust to reflect the sun's rays and lessen the effect of their heat on the gas it contains. Arizona in 1912 produced 350,000,000 pounds of copper. The tide of progress reaches its ebb when a man sits at his window watching the parade go by. Assemble the young of the land together, and ask them the greatest national institution. The reply will be a chorus of "Baseball!" The experience of another is not a lesson—it is merely the key by which we open the school-door. FORTY-FIVE NEW LAWS IMMENSE CORN CROP NOW IN EFFECT COVER WIDE RANGE OF SUBJECTS.

Two thousand years after Simon, the Cyrenean, lifted the burden of the Master and carried His cross on black shoulders up the slopes of Calvary, the devout followers of the faith in enlightened America are eternally wrought up over the color question in the churches. Every big protestant convention is bothered with it, although Jesus ate and slept and prayed with his disciples without a thought of racial differences. Verily, Simon is still carrying the cross, and none other but the Master knows just how heavy is the burden. OUR HEAD PIECE A woman is admired as much for her appearance as for her worth. A newspaper is valued as much for its make-up as for its matter. The Colorado Statesman wishes to excel in both. We therefore direct attention to our head piece. Like a hat, it changes the appearance of things. Our friends who have passed upon our top piece declare it is a "beauty." Simple in design, explicit in its aim, and artistic in appearance, it sets before our readers the purpose of this paper. A newspaper, like a person, likes to get into new togs once in a while. Since our paper is growing and meeting the demands of the people, we want to do all in our power to maintain it what it is—the best in the West—the people will do the rest. Our advertisers know that they are sure to reach the people through The Colorado Statesman, and the management will spare no expense to give Colorado people the very best in editorials, news and events happening among the race from every quarter of the earth. It is a newspaper's mission not only to print local news, but to give the people a glimpse of the world's doings as it affects the race everywhere. This is what we are doing. Logical editorials every week, touching local and national affairs, such as is not printed in many other papers west of Chicago. Besides, the best from magazines, pamphlets and exchanges. We ask you to compare our paper with any Negro journal and see if you don't get your money's worth long before the year is out. IMPROVING THE CITY. The people of Denver, with the exception of a few trouble-makers, rejoice that the way has been cleared for the development of a policy of improving the city under the present administration. The obstructions erected by the trouble-breeders have been removed, and for the next four years will have a free course. We have not the slightest doubt that the commissioners will do all in that time to make Denver one of the cleanest and in other respects one of the most beautiful cities in the United States. In this the people are in hearty sympathy with them. They appreciate the importance of making Denver attractive in the eyes of visitors; but, more than this, they feel that for their own comfort and pleasures the city should be improved to the highest practicable degree. The best way to win the approval of visitors is to make Denver a delightful place in which to live. Let the people who live here be pleased, and they may depend upon it that strangers and visitors will find little of which to complain. In appreciation of all that goes to make a city beautiful the people of Denver are not lacking in comparison with the residents of other communities. An Iceless Refrigerator.

His remains were shipped to Memphis, Tenn., his home, thence to Rome, Ga., for burial.

Imports From United States by Islands Show Increase. Large Gain is Shown in Cotton Goods, the Sale of Which Almost Doubled as Compared With Previous Similar Period. Washington. — During the nine months ending with March last the value of the imports from the United States into the Philippine Islands was $19,468,592, or 44 per cent. of the total importations, which amounted to $43,817,234. The increase of 6 per cent. in imports over the previous corresponding period was due almost wholly to increased importations from the United States. Official statistics of the foreign commerce of the Philippines, compiled by the bureau of insular affairs, show also that this country figured in the Philippine export trade to the amount of $16,837,116, or 39 per cent. of the total value, as against $15,616,867 for the same period of the previous year. "Among the articles imported into the islands from the United States," says a statement from the insular bubean, "cotton goods showed the most marked increase, the value during the latter period being $5,189,464, as against $2,991,036 during the former, an increase of more than 90 per cent. "The total value of cotton cloths imported into the islands during the nine months ending March, 1913, was $8,625,896, as compared with $6,880,332 during the previous year. "Other commodities which figured in the increase in importations were wheat, flour, automobiles, machinery, mineral oils and rice. "The increase in the value of rice importations was due entirely, however, to the higher prices, as the quantity imported was slightly less than during the previous year. The only notable decrease was in the imports of cattle. "The United States purchased hemp from the islands to the value of $10,018,570, an increase of $4,353,715 over the same period for the previous year. Approximately 80,000,000 cigars, with a value of $1,708,293, were exported to this country, which represents a material increase. There was a reduction in the value of sugar and copra exportations, particularly to the United States, due principally, however, to reduced prices rather than to reduced production." TO INVESTIGATE ELECTRICITY DANGERS. Experts in the United States bureau of standards are now making plans for an investigation of the dangers to life and property from electricity provided for in the amendment to the appropriation bill of the last congress introduced by former Representative James M. Cox, now governor of Ohio. This investigation will be started during the coming summer and the work will be conducted by Dr. E. B. Rosa and his assistants of the bureau of standards, under the direction of Dr. S. W. Stratton. This study of methods of safeguarding life is looked forward to by electrical men to produce results in the line of human conservation more important than any other work of the government to lessen industrial accidents, except perhaps the investigations to make less hazardous the work of men engaged in mining and the interstate commerce commission's railway safety investigations. With the rapid increase in the use of electricity as a force of production and transportation and for purposes of lighting and heating there has been a marked increase during late years in the number of lives lost and persons injured by electric shock. While reliable figures are not available, it shown throughout the country each week in electrical accidents, and it is also known that the number of accidents could be greatly lessened if safety measures now in use in some places could be standardized and generally adopted. LEADS IN SUGAR CONSUMPTION. The per capita consumption of sugar in the United States is 76.9 pounds a year, according to the latest statistics compiled by the government experts. Americans need not believe that they are the most sweet-toothed people, however, for in the United Kingdom the per capita consumption is said to be 86.49. These are some of the statistics contained in a report by F. J. Sheridan, commercial agent of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, made public by Secretary of Commerce Redfield. The United States is the greatest sugar consuming country in the world, according to the report. It consumes annually almost one-fifth of the entire amount of sugar produced in the world. In 1909-10 it consumed 3,285,771 Tong tons, as compared with 1,707,956 tons by the United Kingdom, 1,199,389 tons by Russia and 1,116,315 tons by Germany, all other countries consuming less than 1,000,000 tons each. The per capita consumption of the United States in the same period was 79.9 pounds, which was the highest except that of the United Kingdom, which had an apparent per capita consumption of 86.49 pounds, due to the large amounts used in fruit canning and preserving for export GIANT SUBMARINES PLANNED. While the navy department consistently has been extremely reticent concerning its submarines, it has become known that the plans for the three vessels of this type authorized by the last session of congress, and for which bids are about to be asked, contemplate vessels much larger than any now in commission. Although the pioneer in submarine navigation, the American navy has been outstripped by European engineers in the matter of size, speed and offensive power of under-water craft. The navy department designers now are planning much larger and more formidable vessels of this type, and some of them prophesy the development of the submarine into a giant battleship that will replace the dreadnoughts in the first line of defense. They even content these vessels would be able to disappear beneath the surface of the sea to escape a return fire after discharging their great 12-inch rifles at an enemy. ARMY LOSES STRENGTH. Increasing difficulty in securing enlistments for the army is becoming so grave that an appeal may be made to congress by the secretary of war to amend the existing enlistment laws if the army is to be kept up to its normal strength. The reports indicate an unwillingness among the young men of the country to contract away their time for a period as long as seven years, even after it is explained to them that only four of these years must be spent with the colors. With growing demands for troops for garrison duty in Hawaii and the canal zone and for the recruitment of the existing regiments up to the full strength, this failure of the recruiting service giving serious concern to army officers. HAT INDUSTRY STIMULATED. Consul General Thomas Sammons, stationed at Yokohama, Japan, has reported to the department of commerce that the cutting of queues in China has greatly stimulated the hat industry. "In 1910 Japan sold to China $59.263 worth of hats," writes Consul Sammons. "In 1912 the sales amounted to $868,713. The great increase in Japan's sales to China resulted from the demand for inexpensive felt hats and cloth caps for the immediate use of the Chinese who have cut their queues. "The demand for hats and caps among Chinese men is greater south of the Yangtse river than in the northern provinces, the manufacturers of this class of Japanese goods being advised that the cutting of the queues was more active in the south than in the north." Pursued. He was on the sidewalk in his make-believe automobile, and he was racing the street car. Of course the street car won, but he put up a good fight, anyhow. His automobile was a shiny red affair that he pedaled with his feet; he was all of five years old. Tied to the rear of his racer, some clanging thing jangled along at the end of a long, stout piece of string. As he pedaled he turned his head once in a while, and gazed back at the trailer, an expression of fear on his face. When his little, fat legs stopped their furious pumping and the machine came to a halt, it was to be seen that the banging, noisy thing tied to the rear was a large dustpan. "And what's the dustpan for?" we asked him. "That?" He turned his head and gave it a look; when he saw that it lay at a safe distance his face assumed a rested, peaceful expression. "That," he explained, "is the motor cap." He Was a Fighting Man. In a cemetery at Waterford, Erie county, Pennsylvania, is a stone with an interesting epitaph. The stone has lain flat on the ground and was broken en in pieces, but the D. A. R. had it patched up and placed on a concrete base, where it is now an object of great interest to visitors. The inscription reads: "Michael Hare. Born in Armagh county, Ireland, June 10, 1727. Was in the French war and at Braddock's defeat. Served through the Revolution ary war. Was with St. Clair and was scalped at his defeat by the Indians. Died May 3, 1843, aged 115 years eight months and 22 days. Elizabeth, his wife, died April 10, 1843, aged ninety years." Faith Ill-Defined. Discussing the lamentable fact that, according to the last census, half the American people never go to church, Canon Hughes Scott said at a dinner in Denver: "The trouble is, perhaps, that Americans have wrong idea about the church. They think the church wants them to believe a lot of outworn dogma. That is not true. "Yes, the trouble is that the people define faith as the little girl defined it in school. "Faith,' the little girl said, 'is be lieving what you know isn't true.'" German Harvest Laborers Scarce. Germany has more than sixty-five million people living in an area less than that of Texas, and only five times as great as that of Ohio, but, nevertheless, labor is so scarce in harvest time in many parts of the German empire that about thirty thousand farm "hands," as the American phrase is, go into Germany from Russia and Austria-Hungary every year to help gather the crops. IT'S WATER WAGON FOR THE PRINCE OF WALES MRS. MARSHALL HOLDS THE CALLING RECORD MRS. MARSHALL HOLDS THE CALLING RECORD CORNELIUS FORD APPOINTED PUBLIC PRINTER RETAINS MINISTER BECAUSE OF WITTICISM The news came from London recently that Queen Mary had sent a curt telegram to the young prince of Wales, at Oxford, directing him to remove his name from the Bullingdon club because he had attended a "Bullingdon blind"—a euphemistic phrase for an enthusiastic evening of drink and song. JOHN BURTON The prince, it seems, has had difficulty in getting his parents' commission to join the Bullingdon, and eventually obtained it only on the understanding that he never join in a "blind." Unluckily, the prince was persuaded to participate in one of these club events a few weeks ago, and a report was not long in reaching the king and queen. To one who has any knowledge of undergraduate life at Oxford, it is not surprising that the prince should join the Bullingdon club. Once a member of that limited circle, it is inevitable that he attend not a "blind," but a series of "blinds." The Bullingdon is the club of the sons of nobility, the sons of great wealth. Its membership While a lively discussion is going on in and out of official society as to whether or not the wives of cabi- net members of the new Democ- ratic administration shall return calls made on them, Mrs. Thomas as R. Marshall, who finds her posi- tion somewhat analogous, b u t not entirely similar to that of Mrs. Wilson and the cabinet women, on and broken the Washington. the wives of cabl net members of the new Democ ratic administration shall return calls made on them. Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall, who finds her posi tion somewhat analogous, but not entirely similar to that of Mrs. Wilson and the cabinet women, has gone quietly on and broken the calling record of Washington. One afternoon recently Mrs. Marshall made forty-five calls in one hour and 30 minutes. She had no winged feet to carry her cards about either, nor did she send them by a messenger. She went about in her own car, drove up to each door and methodically left the proper number of cards. Had many hostesses been receiving, Mrs. Marshall could not have made this record, although, as it was, she found more than one woman "in." Mrs. Marshall has made more than 800 calls, and if it has fatigued her in the least she does not show it. She is as fresh and bright, and in as good health as she was before the vice-president was made governor of Indiana and she was initiated to official life. Mrs. Marshall has missed only two The new public printer. Cornellus Ford, comes from Hoboken, N. J. His oboken, N. 5. His nomination went to the senate the other day and settles a mighty interesting contest over one of the best places in Washington outside of a cabinet office. M. The several thousand employees of the big print shop have been worked up over the incoming chief for several months, and there has been much wire-pulling in congress and elsewhere in behalf of different candidates. President Lynch of the International Typographical union has been strongly in President Wilson's mind and at one time it looked os if the New Jersey candidate would not be named. His friends, however, continued the fight for him and after Lynch was put forward as the probable selection of the president a fight followed. Lynch himself did not care to accept the place after the fight started on him. The contest then narrowed down to Ford and Turley, the Chattanooga printer, with a number of southern senators and representatives urging the president to nominate Turley. Mr. Ford is prominent in organized Dr. Maurice Francis Egan, at present minister to Denmark, has proved that a sense of humor is one of the most valuable assets a diplomat may possess. M. B. Upon the inauguration of the Democratic regime Minister Egan, following the precedent of the diplomatic service, tendered his resignation to the president. "The relinquishment of my post," he wrote, "reminds me very much of the English lady of rank who was forced by reduced circumstances to sell eggs. Picking up her basket, she sought a deserted street and walked along call represents the "young bloods" of the university, and the "blind" is the great club event. One outcropping of Bullingdon "blinds," is a matter of recent history. After one of these occasions, three Bullingdon men—two lords and a lone American member—swam the Isis—reached a deer park attached to Magdalen college, captured a deer, and, still in their blue evening dress coats and canary waistcoats, drove the deer up the High street at midnight. The three of them were called up before the proctor. It was believed that they would all be expelled. To the surprise of Oxford the proctor only imposed a fine of five pounds each. Certain rules have been made and are strictly enforced. For instance, a student must be in college promptly at midnight; he must ask permission if he wishes to absent himself for a night; he must not go into a "pub" after nine o'clock at night; he is fined five shillings if the university proctor meets him after dark without the academic dress which everyone is supposed to wear at that time of the day. These proctors and their assistants, appropriately known as "buildogs," roam the streets at night on the lookout for the wily undergraduate. But the wily undergraduate is also on the lookout for the proctors. weeks since March 4 in observing her Wednesday "at home," and this has left thousands of cards on her hands. She necessarily has had to take the stand that where no street address was given she was not expected to return a visit, except in the cases of women in the house and senate. These she has carefully hunted up. Mrs. Marshall purposes to go on calling and leaving cards until the one duty exacted of the wife of a vicepresident, aside from dining out, is performed. Asked how she could make so many calls in so short a time, Mrs. Marshall said she thought it was by systematizing the matter. She arranges her cards according to street and frequently finds when she leaves her motor car she can go through formality of returning several calls before again entering the car. Mrs. Bryan, the ranking woman of the cabinet, is also returning calls, first to diplomats, the supreme court and senators, of course, and then general social calls. If there is a move on foot to put calling out of business for cabinet women, Mrs. Bryan is not falling into line. She may not be able to return all of the calls made on her, but she is trying to. Mrs. Daniels, wife of the secretary of the navy, is said to have something like 4,000 calls on a list just made up, and it certainly looks formidable; but she will make those for which precedence calls—on the ambassadors, the supreme court and the senate—and is proceeding as rapidly as possible, considering the warm weather. labor circles. He has been at the head of organized labor in New Jersey as president of the State Federation of Labor for the last ten years. He has served three terms in the state legislature and was an important factor in helping put through the legislation which attracted the attention of the country to Governor Wilson. Mr. Ford was born in Hoboken in 1867. He graduated from the Hoboken high school and immediately entered the pitting trade, and has had 30 years practical experience in that craft. He has a thorough-going knowledge of the mechanics of printing and at the present time, holds an executive position with the Hudson Observer, one of the largest papers of New Jersey. He was a member of the Hoboken board of education for four years. He served six years in the National Guard of his state and has always taken a large interest in social welfare legislation. During the period which he has been president of the labor federation it has prospered and gained the confidence of the employers and the public generally. Through Mr. Ford the federation was a vital force in aiding Governor Wilson to bring about enlightened factory legislation and an employers' liability act. This legislation has worked exceedingly well and today is taken as a model of its kind. Mr. Ford is the father of seven children, and is domestic in his tastes. ing, 'Eggs, tuppence; eggs, tuppence —I hope nobody hears me, I hope nobody hears me—eggs, tuppence.' President Wilson accepted the challenge implied in the story and retained the minister. There was talk of promoting Mr. Egan to be ambassador to Austria, but the president a few days ago named F. C. Penfield of Pennsylvania for that post. For many years Dr. Egan was a professor of literature in the Catholic University of America, located in Washington. He is a noted orator and author of many books. Make Austrian Official Language. One probable result of the schema attributed to the Archduke Franz Ferdinand for the constitution of a Slav empire under the crown of the Hapsburgs would be the abolition of German as the official language of the Austrian army.

Bays Only Mentally Deficient Know Which of Two Objects Is Heavier—Experiments Seem to Demonstrate Accuracy of Theory. If you are able to judge accurately which of two weights is the heavier you are mentally deficient, according to Dr. Demoor, a Belgian physician and scientist, says the New York American. Dr. Demoor doesn't go quite as far as to declare this is an infallible rule, and you may possess this ability without being, perforce, weak-minded, but in a series of experiments made by this doctor those who guessed correctly which of two objects was heavier were known to be weak-minded, while those who made errors in their guesses were all normal. One experiment along this line of considerable interest was carried on by Dr. Demoor among 380 children whose ages varied from six to fifteen years. For this the doctor prepared two bottles by covering them with black paper. These bottles were of different size, which could be told at a glance, but in each bottle the doctor put a heavy mineral until both the large and the small bottle had exactly the same weight. The black covering prevented the children from seeing the equal amount of mineral in each bottle. These two bottles were handed to each of the 380 children and they were asked to judge which was the heavier. They balanced them in their hands and many said the larger one was heavier, many others said the smaller bottle was heavier. Three hundred and seventy of them failed to judge accurately, or to declare that there was no difference in the weight of the bottles. Ten of these children guessed correctly. They declared the bottles were equal in weight. The remarkable part of this is that among these 380 children there were only ten mentally deficient, and these ten mentally deficient children stated that there was no difference in the weight of the bottles—they were the correct guessers. And because of this and many other similar experiments Doctor Demoor is satisfied that while ordinary people, people with normal brains, find it difficult to guess weights accurately, it is quite the reverse with the mentally deficient. The bottle test was by no means the only one made. Other objects were used, such as boxes of the same size, but containing things that made them unequal in weight. Also boxes of unequal size, but that weighed the same. These same children were used in the experiments with the same results; the normal children made wrong guesses, while the mentally deficient ones either guessed correctly or very close to the correct weights. Then, to make doubly certain, the experiments were tried on other people, different groups of children, and also of adults, and it was found that among the children the normal ones could not make anywhere near as accurate guesses or estimates as those who were recognized to be abnormal, mentally deficient, degenerates, etc. Mongolian Lamas. Every third man in Mongolia is a lama. Some live in tents, with and on their relatives, while others live in the temples. The temple lamas are of the lower type; they are coarse and filthy and must inferior both morally and physically to the tent lamas. They are not unlike those sometimes seen by travelers in the Lama temple at Peking, China. The lamas living in tents among the people are of a better class and are much respected and looked up to all over Mongolia. Sume, which consists of the two temples and their outbuildings, forms one of the largest and most imported monasteries in outer Mongolia. There are about two thousand lamas living here, some quite young, as Sume is an important theological school. This lamasery, or monastery, is a town in itself and very interesting. Lamas may be seen here of all ages and degress. On the tops and corners of the temples are prayer wheels covered with gold leaf; these contain long prayers written on rolls of script, and the wheels revolve in the wind. Deodands. If it were customary or possible for the king of Great Britain and Ireland rigidly to exercise his royal prerogatives, he would, in the course of a few months, become the owner of many vehicles, especially motor cars, that traverse the streets and roads of his kingdom, since he is entitled to all deodands. A deodand is "an article which has proved the immediate and accidental occasion of the death of any reasonable creature." This right was for hundreds of years enforced as a means of swelling the royal exchequer and, legally speaking, could still be enforced. If a man were killed by being run over the vehicle and its contents, as well as the horse, became the king's property: The number of "reasonable creatures" (and dogs might be included by some within this category) run over by motors in England would keep the king in automobiles until he would be obliged to construct many garages.—Harper's Weekly. HOBOES HAVE STYLE Supertramp Has Been Developed in England. One Wanderer Carried Collapsible Kitchen and Folding Bed, and His Own Bank; Travels With Toilet Accessories. Although the United States is known to possess the "hobo" in a high state of development, England has discovered that among the 60,000 tramps that adorn her countryside are some sure enough aristocrats who, patriots believe, would take a lot of beating from even the swellest of American knights of the road. England, in fact, claims to have evolved the supertramp; a hobo who is shaved and manicured as carefully as a west end "nut," and whose dandyism lacks nothing but spats and a crease down his trousers. One such Beau Brummel of the turnip—whose cash capital consisted of 1 cent—leaned against the dockrail of a London police court in an attitude of Piccadilly grace the other day and smiled languidly while a police sergeant recited from his notebook as follows: "I found upon the prisoner, your worship, the following articles: "Razor, in case, leather backed shaving mirror, shaving brush (badger hair), tablet, Windsor soap, bone nailbrush, case of needles, spool of cotton, thimble, table knife, dessert spoon." Referring to the case, a Scotland yard inspector with whom the writer talked declared that searching an English tramp was "like dipping into a lucky bag," and instanced a woman named Willis who was arrested for vagrancy a short time ago. To the outward eye she simply was a homeless woman, without money, food or property, but closer examination revealed a leather belt under her waist to which were attached, with a neat row of hooks, an equipment of knives and forks, a collapsible frying pan, changes of clothing, needle work, a purse containing $6.80 and a bag of food. This outfit, moreover said the Scotland yard man, was not luxurious, but primitive compared with the portables carried by many British "wearies." One connoisseur is known who brews exquisite China tea under Survey hedges, while there is another known to the brotherhood as "the doctor" whose luggage includes a beautiful little medicine chest which he hides in thick grass or under a heap of stones before he knocks for admission to the nearest "casual ward." Some British hoboes are ardent collectors. They collect everything except work. The police at Kingston-on-Thames discovered a tramp awhile ago who was traveling about with a handsome kitbag. They found in it, among other things, sixty-one lead pencils, four pairs of spectacles, two table knives, three linen collars, three boxes of matches, a looking glass, a boot brush, two pairs of laces, a handsome magnifying glass and a silver mounted pipe. The owner of this collection proudly denied that he was a peddler, declaring indignantly that he had "never fallen so low." Money he had none, but every now and then a tramp is discovered in possession of a sum that none of us would be sorry to have to his credit in the bank. One such Monte Cristo among hoboes was Patrick Halloran, who, after touring the beauty spots of Ireland for 35 years, was discovered at Middleton, in County Cork, with $575 in his possession, all in golden half-sovereigns. This money was neatly piled up in two tin canisters on a wheelbarrow which Halloran had been pushing before him for many years. He had a collapsible kitchen and a collapsible bed on his wheelbarrow too! Then there was a queer character known as the "eccentric duchess" who sought the aid of the police at Kettering to find shelter for the night. This "duchess" was as tattered and torn as the man in "The House That Jack Bult," and her personal baggage consisted of only two brown paper parcels. When there were opened, however, 344 bright sovereigns worth $5 each flowed out on the inspector's desk among the pens and in) and memoranda. First to Sing Famous Hymn. The first man to sing the immortal hymn, "Lead, Kindly Light," was a boatman, the place an orange boat becalmed on the Mediterranean off the island of Caperna, the time 80 years ago, June 16, 1833. John Henry Newman, afterward the great cardinal, was a passenger on the boat. Ill in body and mind, he was idling in the Mediterranean in the hope of recovering his health. He was especially depressed on that day when the orange boat was becalmed, and sought to soothe his spirits by composing a hymn. The result was "Lead Kindly Light." The composition occupied but a few hours, and the boatman, who spoke English and was possessed of a fine voice, was asked to sing it. As the day melted into darkness a breeze sprang up, and the becalmed voyagers were guided by the "kindly lights" along the Caperna shore into a safe harbor. The composer, with health restored, soon returned to England, and became a leader in the Oxford movement, until in 1845 he went over to the Catholic church, which later rewarded his ability and devotion by the bestowal of the red hat. WASHINGTON IS UNIQUE IT IS SOLELY A CAPITAL AND NOT COMMERCIAL CENTER. John Barrett Says City Should Be the Seat of a Great School and Expects to See a National University Established There. Speaking optimistically of the future of the United States and of Wash-eral of the Pan-American union, told the graduates of the Bliss Electrical school at their commencement exercises at the Carroll Institute hall the other night that a great national university ington, John Barrett director gen- of the Pan American union, told the graduates of the Bliss Electrical school at their commencement exercises at the Carroll Institute hall the other night that a great national university ington, John Barrett, director gen under the control of the government is needed here. Some of the money spent on "pensions, 'pork barrel bills' and other measures of doubtful usefulness" should be spent on such a university, he said. Speaking of the need of a national university in Washington, Mr. Barrett said: "Washington is unique among the capitals of the world, in that it is solely the capital and not a mighty, material and commercial center and entreport where fashion, society, the allmighty dollar and the mad rush of worldly competition act as deterrents upon the young man and woman trying to get an education. Washington has the ideal atmosphere and conditions of life for a great educational center. This thought prompts me to express the hope that one of the notable features of Washington in the future is to be that of the location and development here of all classes of educational institutions—technical, professional, collegiate, academical and others—which will provide the ambitious young American man and woman with every and any kind of schooling he or she requires for success in life. "In this connection it seems to be inevitable that there must be established here presently, and the sooner the better, a great national university to which the graduates of colleges all over the United States and the world, and also the students of lesser institutions, can come to round out their education and secure that special training which the governmental facilities of Washington can provide. "If we can only cut out a small portion of the vast sum of money that we spend on pensions, 'pork barrel bills' and other measures, which have a doubtful usefulness, and utilize it for the establishment and maintenance of a national university under the control of the United States government, we would bring here thousands upon thousands of the best young men and women not only of the United States, but of all other nations, to get that schooling which would make them better, more patriotic and more useful citizens of this and other countries." WISHING SASH NEWEST FAD Sister of Mrs. Joseph Leiter Starts the Vogue in the Army and Navy Set. The wishing sash which must never be untied until the wish you made while tying it comes true, has come to town under the chaperonage of Miss Dorothy Williams, sister of Mrs. Joseph Leiter, and one of the most popular belles of the army and navy set. The sash has come in vogue with other Balkan styles and is most effective worn with white dresses. With a single reef around the waist the sash drops way below the knee and is tied in a true sailor's knot there. As naval men alone seem to have the knack of tying these knots, they are very popular just now. After "End Seat Hogs." Washington's "end seat Logs" will soon be amenable to law. Commissioner Rudolph has taken the subject up with the utilities commission. Convictions for refusing to "move up" in seats of the summer cars will probably be punished by a heavy fine. A woman and a baby narrowly escaped death in alighting from a car because a fat man obstructed the passage. Wind Injures Plants. A rather surprising degree of influence of the wind upon plant growth and crops has been shown by the experiments of Dr. Oscar Bernbeck, a German professor of agriculture. Severe gales tend to produce deformity, giving a twisted and knotty shape to twigs; and ordinary winds diminish the energy of growth of sprouts through the increase of transpiration and alteration of circulatory conditions, and have a drying effect that in some cases causes serious injury to both soil and plants. Under a wind of thirty-three feet per second the ground loses three or four times as much water as on protected land. On ground sufficiently moist strong sprouts are but little affected, but on some soils the growth with no wind is three times as great as with a wind of thirty-three feet per second. Protection is to be sought by various kinds of windshields, such as walls and hedges, and especially by planting forests on neighboring hills. WORK BY PRACTICAL PEOPLE Officiale Know Science Cannot Entirely Take the Place of Practical Experience. The idea goes out very often than much of the work in the government departments is not done by practical people. The basis of this idea, if there is any basis for it, seems to be the old-time suspicion some people in the earlier days held against scientists and all people engaged in research work or statistical investigations. New evidence of this suspicion came to the director of the children's bureau several days ago in the following postcard mailed from a small western town: "Dear Madam: I would like some information about raising children from a woman of experience. I don't care to have the views of an old maid school teacher, or a person that has not raised a family, as I think their knowledge is too limited. "MRS. ——." The attitude of the western woman writing for information on child raising was not considered unreasonable by children's bureau officials. Few people realize more than the bureau chiefs themselves that all the science in the world will not entirely take the place of practical experience. Miss Julia C. Lathrop, the director of the children's bureau, must have had the same idea herself, because the series of government bulletins on the care of young children has been made the special work of Mrs. Max West, the mother of five growing children. Mrs. West is a university woman, who has been in government service since the death of her husband, four years ago, and is considered one of the most able members of the children's bureau staff. ELEANOR WILSON A MILLINER President's Daughter Has Become the Leading Society Hat Trimmer of the Capital. Miss Eleanor Wilson, youngest daughter of the president, has succeeded to the place formerly held by Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, and has become the leading society milliner of the capital. She not only trims her own hats, but she trims the jauntiest hat that adorns a belle's head in Washington, and the younger set in particular is taken just now with a new creation Miss Wilson has made which she calls the pansy hat. She bought a white hemp shade and C. HARRIS & EWING Miss Eleanor Wilson. trimmed it with a gorgeous mass of purple pansies and soft ribbons. It has a chic, Parisian effect and the uninitiated would imagine it the work of a leading milliner. The old Swedish Lutheran church, whose churchyard the London (Eng.) county council covets for an open space, is situated in a dingy little square of St. George-in-the-East, not far from the spot where the Danish church once stood. It is an early Georgian structure of brick, built about 1728, and has some frappant architectural features of that prosaic period. The spire takes the form of a quaint little lantern tower, from which, when Wapping was a marshy waste, the pastor could spy Scandinavian ships coming up the river and calculate next Sunday's congregation. Emanuel Swedenborg, the famous mystic, was buried beneath the altar, but his remains were removed to Sweden some years ago when this interesting old edifice was closed, having been deprived of a flock by the substitution of steamers for sailing ships. AMBASSADOR CALLED HOME HENRY LANE WILSON SUMMONED BY PRESIDENT TO WASHINGTON. INVASION IS FORESEEN DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES EXPECT IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT AFTER CONFERENCE. Washington, July 17. — President Wilson, after a conference with Secretary Bryan over the latest aspects of the Mexican situation, presented by the inquiries of foreign powers as to the attitude of the United States, ordered Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson at Mexico City to proceed to Washington immediately for a conference. Ambassador Wilson will hurry north on either the battleship Michigan or Louisiana from Vera Cruz, if any delay would be entailed by waiting for a commercial steamer. Officials here believe that the almost total interruption of railroad traffic between Mexico City and the United tSates will force the ambassador to make his trip by water. He is not expected here before July 23d at the earliest. It is believed in official and diplomatic circles that an important announcement of the attitude of the United States in the pending situation will follow the ambassador's conference with the President and Secretary Bryan. Commenting upon the announcement that Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson had been summoned from Mexico City to confer with President Wilson regarding the situation in Mexico, Secretary Bryan said this step had been in contemplation for some time. New York.—On the eve of returning to Mexico on the steamer Morro Castle, Emeterio de la Garza, Jr., pseudo ambassador of Mexico to the United States, bitterly denounced President Wilson for his attitude in persistently refusing to recognize the Huerta government. 30,000 MUSSULMANS MURDERED. Stories of Atrocities by Bulgars Confirmed by Consul at Saloniki. London.—The Greek army has occupied Nevrokop after an engagement with the Bulgarians. The Bulgarians were routed. Official dispatches report that only 120 out of 3,000 inhabitants of the city of Doxato escaped the Bulgarian massacre by sword and fire. Nearly all were women and children who were brutally treated before being hacked or burned to death. Saloniki, Turkey.—Full confirmation of the reported sacking and burning of the Macedonian town of Seres by the fleeing Bulgarian troops and of the crucifixion, hacking to death or burning alive of many inhabitants has been sent to the Austro-Hungarian government by Consul August Kral of Saloniki. Another horrifying story of massacre reached here from Doiran, forty miles to the northwest of Saloniki. Mussulmans there have made a written declaration, countersigned by three local Bulgarian priests, that the Bulgarians slaughtered 30,000 Mussulmans who had sought refuge in Doiran from the surrounding districts. No Racing at Overland Park. Denver.—There will not be a race meeting in Denver this year or next, and Overland Park is to be dismantled as a racing course. Made Four Attempts to Murder Girl Who Would Not Marry Him. Castle Rock.—After making four unsuccessful attempts to kill Miss Nellie Gross because she refused to marry him, Charles Crecilius, twenty-seven, manager of the Ewing-McMillan ranch, near Parker, committed suicide in the Douglas county jail by hanging himself with a strap from his artificial leg, which he fastened to an iron bar across the top of a door in the main corridor. When Crecilius was arrested by Sheriff Nickson, he declared he would commit suicide rather than face trial on the charge of having tried to kill Miss Gross. Japan Gets Land Protest Reply. Washington.—The American reply to the last two Japanese notes on the California anti-alien land law was delivered by Secretary Bryan. Perry's Ship Arrives. Loraine, Ohio.—Commodore Perry's rebuilt flagship, the Niagara, arrived here for the local Perry Centennial celebration. Says $700,000 Yearly for Legislation Washington.—A fund of $500,000 to $700,000 a year raised by the National Council for Industrial Defense—an adjunct of the National Association of Manufacturers for opposing legislation that the manufacturers did not favor, was described to the Senate lobby committee by M. M. Mulhall. Four Are Prostrated. Lincoln, Neh.—Four people were prostrated here when the heat reached the official high point for the year, 106 degrees.
