PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Who Issued "Jim Crow Order?" SENATOR CLAPP PRESENTS BILL ASKING THAT AN INVESTIGATION BE HELD. VOL. XIX. Who Issu Crow SENATOR CLAPP PRESENT INVESTIGATION Washington, D. C., August 6. After the disgusting spectacle of Adam E. Patterson, the colored lawyer of Oklahoma, withdrawing his name, declining the appointment as Register of the Treasury, the colored residents of the capital city have been temporarily put in good humor by a resolution presented by Senator Clapp of Minnesota, demanding an investigation to determine who is responsible for the order to segregate the clerks in the Post Office Department. It is said that the Post Office Department is badly frightened over the Clapp resolution, as those responsible for the "Jim Crowing" of Government employees know full well that they would be the laughing stock of the country were their un-American tacticts fully exposed. The Democrats in the Senate, having already been placed in an embarrassing position by such menaces to the county as Vardaman, Tillman and Hoke Smith, are not at all pleased with the prospects of having a "Jim Crow" investigation, and are doing all in their power to throttle the heoric attempt of Senator Clapp to stop segregation in the department at Washington. Senator Clapp's resolution follows; Whereas it is reported that there has been a segregation order issued by some unknown source or authority in the Post Office Department; and Whereas the clerks and employees have worked together peacefully for over fifty years; and Whereas the said segregation order will cost the Government of the United States over $150,000: Therefore be it. RESOLVED, That the Committee on Post Office and Post Roads be, and they are hereby, authorized to inquire into and to report by what authority the segregation order was issued and what necessity, if any, exists for such order in the executive department after fifty years of perfect peace among the employees of the department, which order makes it very inconvenient for the clerks. It is reported that the charge that colored clerks are being "Jim Crowed" in the Department is to be also investigated. Already, however some of the colored clerks who were protesting against discrimination a month ago are getting "cold feet," and are disposed to keep their mouths shut. They would rather be humiliated and kicked about than lose their jobs. To them principle means nothing, but money everthing. The substantial Negroes in Washington and throughout the country are expected to strongly support Senator Clapp in his fight against "Jim Crowism." Even the colored Democrats are not backward in condemning the infantile course pursued by Adam E. Patterson when he found there be some opposition to his conformation as Register of the Teasury. Patterson's withdrawal stunt has not caused those disposed to be friendly to have increased respect for the race. In all fairness to President Wilson, who has not shown a disposition to be the Negro's friend up to date, he did not ask Patterson to withdraw his name. The nation's chief executive, it is said, intended to demand Patterson's confirmation. But Senator Gore, after urging Patterson's appointment, showed him way it was absolutely necessary that he play the role of a quitter in order to name an Indian as his successor. So the Negro race, with its thousands of votes, was subjected to deep humiliation because Patterson proved himself a spineless weakling. That an Indian is a more representative citizen than a Negro is not conceded by Negroes who think something of themselves. Negroes here are wondering how Gabe E. Parker, the Indian, will take the segregation order issued by the Treasury Department, which caused the Hon. J. C. Napier to resign. They say if he is an Indian, then he, in the strict sense, is a colored man, and should oppose the order to separate the white and colored clerks. NEGRO ENTERPISE Charleston, S. C., Aug. 2.What is reported to be one of the largest commercial ventures of the race in the Southland is a four-story ten-cent store owned and operated by the race. This is the outgrowth of a small company that started State Hist & Nat Hist Booces State Hist GIANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO years ago and by dollar subscriptions raised twenty thousand. Recently they have enlarged their space and are now covering four floors. It is patronized by both races and gives employment to twenty-five members of our race and to two white girls, who have been employed in other ten-cent stores. These white girls act as managers in different departments. The store is well kept and the grade of merchandise that is sold is equal to any for the money. It is not only the largest but the only one of its kind in America. It proves to the world that if the race would unite throughout the United States they would be successful. One of its kind could be made to pay in any of the large northern cities, namely New York and Chicago. There is a vast field in the latter city and as the young men and women are denied a place to work in the stores of the other race it would give employment to the otherwise idle. COLORED WAITERS RE FUSE TO SERVE A COLORED WOMAN Colored waiters on the Union Pacific passenger train, recently refused to serve a young colored woman enroute from California to Chicago. It seemed that the waiters had no instruction to refuse serving any one who came to be served in the dining car. The following account was noted: She was seated at the table by the steward and given a bill of fare and check. Pausing long enough to write her order she noticed that none of the waiters came near to serve her. Waiting patiently, thinking that they might be busy, she said nothing, but the situation began to become strained for these brutes began to make remarks not only to one another but to the white steward in charge. Finally this gentleman, seeing that his crew were not men, got them in the pantry and cursed them, telling them that a dog could not have been treated worse; that no Irish, Jew, German, Greek nor any nationality on the fabe of the globe but a cowardly "nigger" would try to, much less treat a woman who has proved herself a lady as they had—that on the end of the trip none would ever leave the station with him again. "Woman is a woman, and you all had mothers, many have sisters, and to do as you men have done proves to me that you are not fit to mingle with the class you are hired to serve, of which this lady is one. She has a ticket, she is a passenger, and under the law and while I have charge of this car you must serve everyone the same—black, white, yellow or brown makes no difference to me." What this steward said was none too severe, provided the waiters had no instructions from higher authority to do as was said of them. If the story is true, the fact that the stewart gave her a bill of fare and check should have been their cue even if colored people were the unexpected. Of course, their is no sentiment supporting Negroes as guests on dining cars and similar plaques, yet it is not up to the waiters to help push the thing along. Waiters here have been known to do what is said of them here, apparently taking as much pleasure in turning down one of their own kind as the most anti-Negro white people. In fact the notable disregard of race by the race has done much to encourage the white people in their disregard. They go on the theory that if those who know you best, know nothing good of you, then there's nothing to you.—The Freeman. THE CONCLAVE The Thirty-Second Tri-ennial Conclave of the Knights Templar has just come to a close and again Denver has done herself proud as the foremost convention city of America. Those who have attended many conclaves consider the one just closed the most successful and to the man they praise Denver as being the best decorated and most hospitable of any city that has entertained it. The parade was the one thing that interested the great majority of the people and that was a spectacle long to be remembered by the many thousands that beheld it. Thirteen thousand plumed Knights, marching with sturdy gait to the music of some fifty bands, must have impressed that great throng the value of organization and loyalty to a purpose. All great movements are the result of organization and organizations succeed just in proportion to the loyalty of each member. One of the chief results of organization is recognition. Whenever an individual seeks office or position he first seeks the support of some organization to back him and usually the man with the strongest organization at his back secures that which he seeks. The late Bishop Grant had great political influence at Washington because he had the backing of the greatest Negro organization, the A. M. E. church. Booker T. Washington, with his striking eloquence and trite sayings, would be little known were it not for Tuskegee and the Negro Business League. Constructive organization is the one medium through which we are to rise and be recognized and it is hoped that the conclave has brought this one lesson above all others to the heart of the Negro. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Chicago, Aug. 13.—The Lincoln Giants of New York won the Negro baseball championship of the United States today by defeating the Chicago Amethicans Giants, 4 to 1. Vice President Marshall received a protest from Australia against the prosecution of Jack Johnson under the white slave law. The communication declares the suit to be the result of a "conspiracy to ruin the reputation and health of Mr. Johnson as a master pugilist." The Vice President had to pay 10 cents postage due on the protest. He promptly turned it over to Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, from whom he collected the excess postage on the plea that Johnson was a constituent of Lewis' and the senator should stand the tax on general principles. A Negro farmer of Iberia, La., has rivaled Robinson Crusoe's grain farming. Representative Broussard lately had a letter from an acquaintance there who said: One of my neighbors, a Negro, purchased a pound of Rio coffee, and in the coffee were four seeds in the hull. He conceived the idea of planting these four seeds. Two grew and gave him two plants. This was two years ago. Last year he made two rice sacks full of coffee. This year he planted one of those sacks. Briefly speaking, he now has from this sack two rows, two acres long, of coffee plants. A recent issue of the Richmond Times Despatch says: "The proposal to establish one or more parks for the exclusive use of the colored population received a set back yesterday when a delegation of representative of Negroes, headed by Rev. William Stokes, pastor Ebenezer Baptist church called upon Mayor Ainele to protest against the project. Attempts to solve the open air problem by providing separate parks for the colored people, according to the delegation, would end to failure because they would become the meeting grounds of the roughest elements. The better classes, the men thought, would stay away, leaving the parks to become new recruiting grounds for already well established evils. THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Philadelphia, Pa.—The National Negro Business League, of NO 50 which Dr. Booker T. Washington is president, when it convenes in this city the 20th, 21st and 22d of this month, is to be given a great treat and shows a signal honor when John Wanamaker, the merchant prince, entertains the members of the League in the famous Egyptian Hall of the great Wanamaker Store Thursday afternoon, the 21st inst. The indications point to this being the most largely attended and must interesting meeting yet held by the League. During the fourteen years the League has been in existence sixty-three Negro banks and over ten thousand Negro business enterprises have been founded. Philadelphia's City Council appropriated $5,000 out of the city's treasury to assist in entertaining the League. The Industrial Committee of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes seeks to open new avenues of employment for Negroes who are engaged in skilled and specialized occupations increase their efficiency and reliability, and thereby create a greater demand for their service In its effort to direct workers into chanels of training, the committee has succeeded in getting the co-operation of five manufacturers of women and children's clothing, one of which employed and trained thirty-two colored women as power machine operators. Others are willing to employ dressmakers and power-machine operators, who are qualified to do the work. Colored girls from 14 to 17 years of age, who are desirous of learning typewriting, shorthand, dressmaking, millinery straw machine operating, flower, power machine operating free of charge. During the past month the committee interceded for a colored firm of architects and an electrical contractor in getting employment for them on the Y. W. C. A. building, where they rendered satisfactory service. Opportunities are being opened for colored engineers, firemen, elevator men, watchman, and porters in office buildings. The committee has had that privilege of placing colored employees in one office building of the city, and a bright outlook for many others, if competent men are available.—New York Age. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. Former Mayor L. W. Swem was shot, the safe in the West Liberty, Ia., postoffice partly wrecked and street lamps shot out by three bank robbers. Prayers for rain in the parched regions of the West were offered Sunday in several Chicago churches. During the services the tattoo of showers on the roofs was heard. Ore shipping has assumed normal conditions again at Duluth and the fleet of vessels that was thrown out by the strike on the ore docks has been put on regular schedule again. Four bystanders were shot seriously and three others less seriously wounded in a riot on East South street in Salt Lake City when a special policeman waved an American flag in the face of an I. W. W. orator. At El Jebel temple in Denver before the routine business session was commensed, there was presented to the grand encampment an ebony scepter, suitably inscribed, the gift of the sovereign great priory, Knights Templar of Canada. The condition of the most seriously injured of the forty-two men who were caught in the rear-end of the Barnum and Bailey circus train when it was crashed into by a Rock Island train returning from the Denver conclave, near Richfield, Neb., was so satisfactory that Omaha doctors held out high hopes for their complete recovery. Plumed Knights bared unstained swords beneath a Colorado sky cast with fleecy clouds, and in white-plumed squadrons waged a war of peace and good will toward their fellow men. Behind the crash of religious music, played in martial cadence, 12,000 Knights Templar marched in Denver Tuesday. It was the flower of modern chivalry that passed the multitude on the streets and pressed reverent feet on the asphalt cross that veneered the parade ground at the grand master's stand. It is told that 200,000 persons viewed the pageant and watched the red-blooded days of religious strife transformed into a spectacle of peace, a pilgrimage of humanitarianism. WASHINGTON. Within forty-eight hours the Navy Department started two light draft vessels for Vera Cruz. The Senate confirmed the appointment of Annear and Wheeler as superintendent and assayer of the Denver mint. Fire which started in an air shaft and broke through the roof of the historic Ebbitt house in Washington created consternation among the guests, but did little damage. The comptroller of the currency issued a call for a statement of the condition of all national banks of the United States at the close of business on Saturday, August 9. The Senate finance committee has reported favorably upon the nominations of Thomas Annear as superintendent and Frank E. Wheeler as assayer of the Denver mint. That the tobacco trust instead of being dissolved by the decree of the Supreme Court of the United States has increased its monopolistic control of tobacco manufactures was asserted in the Senate by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, in discussing' the tobacco schedule of the tariff bill. Banks, which borrow or loan money for speculative purposes, will be denied any portion of the $50,000,000 of government funds about to be deposited in the national banks to assist in moving the crops and the entire amount will go to institutions that earnestly strive to meet the currency demands of the agricultural sections. An unsuccessful effort to land Representative Kindel of Colorado on the interstate commerce committee of the House was made during the Democratic caucus. Keating and Seldomridge of Colorado moved his appointment in place of Decker of Missouri, but were voted down, the plea being that Missouri was entitled to the vacancy. This leaves Kindel with no committee. Senator Thomas of Colorado told the Senate that the American Smelting and Refining Company controlled the lead market and the majority of the lead mines and that he was not in favor of giving any duty, except such as was necessary for revenue purposes to the product controlled by that concern. President Wilson nominated the following Colorado postmasters: Michael F. O'Day, Lafayette; Henry Clay Monson, Jr., Steamboat Springs; T. J. Horan, Crested Butte; Joseph W. Beery, Saguache. It is said that, finding no support from the other powers, both Russia and Austria have abandoned their intentions to demand a revision of the Bucharest treaty. The morning service at Westminster Abbey in London was interrupted by twenty suffragettes, who repeated the scene enacted in St. Paul's cathedral by chanting "Save Emmeline Pankhurt." A general strike throughout Italy was proclaimed in a manifesto issued by the Syndicalist and Socialist Workmen's organizations at Milan. The manifesto urges all workmen's unions to take immediate action and to carry on the strike to the bitter end. The first skirmish in the diplomatic war between Mexico and the United States took place and was won by John Lind, President Wilson's personal representative, when he managed to be received unofficially by Foreign Minister Frederico Gamboa at Mexico City. James Mason, the American manager of the gold mines at Un-San, in northern Korea, was sentenced at Seoul, Korea, to an eight months' penal servitude on a charge of manslaughter for killing a Chinese mine employé, who, in the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Mason, attacked their twelve-year-old daughter. Official dispatches at Aden, Arriba, announced that a camel corps of British native troops had been ambushed by a force of 2,000 derviles near Eurao. The British killed and wounded include two officers and about sixty men. Many thousand followers of Mad Mullah are on the warpath. C. R. Guertler, constructing superintendent of the J. G. White Engineering Company of New York and at Honolulu in charge of work on the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company's new stations, was shot at a beach resort by J. W. Marshall, superintendent of the Waiahole Water Company, and died later at a hospital. SPORT. Standing of Western League Clubs. Denver ..... Won ..... Lost ..... Pct.

William Whittaker, pitcher for the Keokuk baseball team of the Central Association, set what is believed to be a world's record when he pitched twenty-one consecutive innings in a doubleheader between the Keokuk and Waterloo teams. Keokuk won both games, the first 1 to 0, and the second, which went twelve innings, 2 to 0. But five hits were made off Whittaker's delivery. Knight Benny Chavez made a vicious crusade into Branniganland at the Stockyards stadium, in Denver, and wiped out all stain that had fastened itself on his escutcheon by reason of a previous setback administered some two years ago when he made a former attempt to pull down the foreign colors.

WOULD RETAIN OFFICE WIFE COLLAPSES AS EXECUTIVE REFUSES HER PLEA TO BARE STORY ON STAND. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Governor William Sulzer of New York appealed by the Assembly after an all night session. Mrs. Sulzer makes a vain eleventh hour effort to save her husband by a confession that she took campaign funds without the knowledge of the governor, and used them in stock speculation. Democrats claim that when Senate is formally notified of action the office of governor becomes automatically vacant and the lieutenant governor becomes the state's chief executive. Sulzer and his attorneys read the Sulzer and his attorneys read the law and will make a fight to retain the office. Monday, September 22, is the date tentatively set for the trial. Albany, N. Y., Aug. 14.—With Governor Sulzer impeached by the assembly and the date of his trial before the Senate and the judges of the Court of Appeals fixed for September 18, the spectacle was held of two men claiming to be governor of the state of New York. As soon as the articles of impeachment, adopted by the Democratic majority in the Asssembly, were presented to the Senate, shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Lieutenant Governor Martin H. Glynn announced his intention of occupying the executive chamber. Friends of Governor Sulzer said that the governor intended to continue in office and would use every weapon in his power to maintain his position, on the ground that the Assembly had no constitutional right to consider impeachment at its extraordinary session. Some asserted that the governor would go so far as to summon military protection if necessary to prevent the lieutenant governor from occupyin the executive chamber. D. Cady Herrick, who will act as chief counsel for the governor at his trial, said that "talk of resort to force is the merest rot." "He will meet the charges against him in an orderly and dignified way," the lawyer said, "and will do nothing unbecoming the dignity of the state. He will engage in no physical scramble to assert his rights to discharge the functions of the office of governor." The governor himself was silent. When he left his office in the capitol at 6 o'clock, where he had been closedet the entire day, he was asked if he expected to return today. "Yes, siree," he replied in angry tones. So far as could be learned no attempt was made by Lieutenant Governor Glynn in any way to exercise the functions of chief executive yesterday, but there was every indication that there would be a clash of authority today when both men appear at the capitol. The lieutenant governor would not indicate what action he proposed to take, except to say that there would be "no circus or military maneuvers about occupying the executive chambers; the law is supreme." Reports that Mrs. Sulzer would give out a statement setting forth the details of her alleged use of Governor Sulzer's campaign checks for stock speculation, unknown to the governor, did not materialize. Mrs. Sulzer's condition became so serious that Governor Sulzer wired to New York for a specialist on nervous diseases. GAMBOA AND LIND CONFER U. S. Will Oppose Mexico Recognition Till Constitutional Election is Held. Washington. — Dispatches to the State Department from John Lind described his visit with Frederico Gamboa, Mexican minister of foreign relations. It was understood on good authority that the conversation extended beyond the mere formalities of a social call. Senator Gamboa and Mr. Lind talked briefly about the situation and Mr. Lind is declared to have set at rest rumors that he was coming to interfere directly in Mexican politics. The general understanding in official circles is that Mr. Lind had imitated that the American government would continue to oppose recognition until a constitutional election was held.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Do You Know That一 In the matter of zeal for restricting immigration, Mr. Burnett, of Alabama, who heads the house committee, is keeping pace with Senator Dillingham of Vermont, long chairman of the senate committee. This fact, according to Harper's Weekly, is significant. For many years, notwithstanding the south's failure to attract immigrants, southerners in congress pretty generally have helped to vote down measures intended to reduce the number of them. Still the south has kept hoping to get its share of them. There is as yet not enough evidence to show that the south has changed her mind, but there may be signs of less eagerness. This does not apply to immigration to the south from other parts of the country, which is earnestly solicited. One conjectures that, whatever change has occurred, is due to the character of the bulk of our recent immigration, to labor troubles, and, perhaps, to coming prosperity in the southern states. It is quite probable that more southerners, now that times are better than they used to be, are reflecting that racial homogeneity has its value, and that one race problem may be better than many. At the Richmond conference on southern education last April, one speaker urged the need of fresh blood in the south, and more racial strains, particularly in agriculture, but it seems probable that southerners more than ever are content with the stocks they have. This feeling apparently is not confined to the white people only. Booker Washington in a recent article takes a hopeful view of the Negro's chances in the competition for work with the white men, but in his "The Man Farthest Down," he says: "I have asked myself what would happen in our southern states if, as some people suggested, large numbers of these foreign peoples were induced to settle there. I greatly fear that if these people should come in large numbers and settle in colonies outside of the cities, where they would have comparatively few educational advantages and where they would be better able and more disposed to preserve their native customs and languages, we might have a racial problem in the south more difficult and more dangerous than that which is caused by the presence of the Negro." It looks as if the problem of many races is still to be mainly the north's and the west's; as if the south will continue to confine itself mainly to its one great problem.—Washington Herald.

We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. Tennessee has entered the list of states having consolidated country schools. By a law lately passed provision is made for the merging of country schools and the transportation of pupils. Mrs. J. D. Hammond of Atlanta, Ga., wife of the president of Paine college, who describes herself as 'the child, grandchild and great-grandchild of southern slave owners, has in mind an enterprise which has for its purpose the proper housing of colored people, which she holds is the center of the whole Negro problem. Mrs. Hammond plans to purchase a block of land about six acres in size, and upon four acres to build double three-room houses, each being supplied with modern conveniences, the cost of which she estimates at $800. The rent will be about $2 a room a month—all these people can pay. With each house garden space is to be reserved in the rear. The extra two acres are to be used as a playground for children, and also afford room for a community house in which can be a kindergarten room, and others for a boys' club, cooking and sewing classes, free baths, a laundry and a drying room. In her campaign for $50,000 to carry out her project Mrs. Hammond has the support of some of the leading bankers, business men and educators of the south. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver According to the mortality statistics compiled by the United States census bureau in 1906, from a registration area comprising slightly less than one-half of the population of the United States, there were 6,324 deaths from whooping cough in that area are children under five years of age. Briquetting the abundant lignites of Saskatchewan is interesting the government of that Canadian province, which has sent G. B. Buchell, a mining expert, to Germany to study the utilization of low grade coal. James H. Dillard, president of the Jeanes Fund board and director of the John F. Slater fund, sends the following communication to the Boston Transcript: If I may be permitted I should be glad, through your paper, to call attention to a fine work which has been begun in Nashville, Tenn., for the training of colored social workers. The school is under the direction of a representative board composed of such men as Chancellor Kirkland of Vanderbilt university, Dr. Booker T. Washington, Bishop Thirkield, Hon. J. C. Napier, and others. The moving spirit and executive secretary is Mr. J. E. McCulloch, who is also secretary of the Southern Sociological congress, a man of devoted ability and enthusiasm. Any one who may be interested in this needed work may get information by writing to Mr. McCulloch at Nashville. The school of course stands in need of assistance. I know of few places where assistance would be as wisely bestowed. Two features of this work should commend themselves to people in the north who wish to aid in improving conditions among the colored people of the south. First, the school is inter-church, all denominations being represented on its board. I recently attended a meeting, of the board at which were present a leading colored Methodist bishop and also one of the most prominent colored Baptist ministers of the south. Such interdenominational co-operation is much to be welcomed, especially where denominational feelings are so strong. Second, the school is most valuable in emphasizing the need of recognizing the importance of social work in the churches. There is great and immediate need of extending this idea throughout the colored churches in the south, and with adequate support this undertaking in Nashville can exercise an important influence in this direction. A fact which is not widely known is that the office of collector of the port at the capital of the United States almost invariably is given to a Negro. The office is not so important as it was, but still carries some prestige with it. Georgetown, a section of Washington, is the port of entry of the capital city, and at one time was one of the chief ports of entry of the United States, being a shipping point for huge quantities of Virginia and Maryland tobacco. Whitefield McKinley, a Negro, is the present collector at Georgetown. W. H. Lewis, a Negro of Massachusetts, until recently held the high office of assistant attorney-general of the United States. In fact, if you go down the list a good many high jobs will be found to be filled by the Negroes. Not long ago Negroes held some of the high elective offices in Washington. There was a Negro member of the house of representatives, James L. Lynch of Mississippi, until 1900. Lynch was permanent chairman of the Republican national convention which nominated President Harrison. Perhaps the foremost negro politician of the country was old Senator Bruce, who for several years represented Mississippi in the United States senate. His son, Roscoe Conkleling Bruce, is at present assistant superintendent of schools of the district. United States Senator White of North Carolina was also a Negro. Frederick Douglass was a Negro who occupied a prominent position in American politics, but he was nearly white. Although he has no medals of honor, Robert Dorsey, a thirteen-year-old colored youth at Washington, D. C., is a hero in the eyes of his young friends, for the other day, at the peril of his own life, he made a dive in Rock creek and pulled out a drowning boy, also colored. So unimpressed was the rescuer with what he had done that he did not even ask the other boy his name, and the rescued lad, after emitting several quarts of Rock creek water, was so glad to find himself alive that he "beat it" home in quick order. Robert was just preparing to take a dip in what is known as "the baby hole." He had his back to the water and had on only a portion of his bathing suit when one of his comrades on shore called that a boy had waded out beyond his depth and was sinking. When Robert turned toward the water he could see only the tip ends of the hands of the imperiled one. These disappeared from sight as the young life saver made a flying leap into the water. He soon had the other boy on shore. The youngster was unharmed except from slight strangling and fright. Robert was good as new after the exploit. Reports from 30 states show that 6,251 children died of whooping cough, 4,232 from scarlet fever and 9,579 from diphtheria in these states during the year 1511. The relative mortality from whooping cough, scarlet fever and diphtheria is essentially the same throughout the country, whooping cough being almost everywhere more fatal than scarlet fever and less fatal than diphtheria.

This paper is one of the advertising mediums of this great city, and we are surprised at some of our Christian Evangilists taking exceptions to us making a living from all classes of citizens. Be brave, but don't overdo it. An excess of courage is a dangerous thing, unless backed by good judgment and a proper appreciation of moral responsibility. Of course everything possible should be done by statute to suppress bribery of public servants, but the most effective way is to raise the standard of general honesty and public virtue. As long as men will accept bribes there will be men to give them. "A sound body is a first-class thing, a sound mind is even a better thing, but the thing that counts for most, in the individual, as in the nation, is character—the sum of those qualities which make a man a good man and a woman a good woman." Some of our contemporaries seem to find it necessary, in order to secure business advertisements, to cut down rates far below the point where such work can be done at a profit. This is a great mistake, as they will doubtless find out before long. It is lowering the standard of journalism, and when one resorts to such practices it is a confession of weakness and unworthiness. "A fair price for fair work," will nevertheless remain the governing rule in the practice of business men, and they secretly regard with contempt those who, to bolster up a sinking concern, slash prices and bid for work on a starvation scale. CONCLAVE SUCCESSFUL. It has been proven beyond the shadow of doubt that Denver has fulfilled in every particular what she promised the visitors, through the Triennial Conclave Committee of the Knights Templar. Praises loud and long, congratulations great and strong were heard on every hand of Denver's unique hospitality. Generosity or liberality having for its purpose some sinister motive, never seems to weigh very much with a people; but when men or organizations forget themselves and out of the pureness of their minds and hearts act as a unit in extending to outsiders such a reception as was given in this event, then not only will the heads of a state or city government be proud of such citizens, but a nation will feel them such valuable assets to her, that she cannot fail to offer every protection and comfort that can be afforded. It is hardly necessary to mention the different events that took place, as every one availed themselves of the privileged opportunity of witnessing sights that they had not the good fortune to behold heretofore; but we can only offer this little comment—"that Denver covered herself with a mantle that will hardly be eclipsed in the years to come." What with her decorations, illuminations, her various receptions, here conglomeration of bands which gave us music from sunrise to sunset to sunrise, and all the other features, we cannot but hope that our people will ponder over the complimentary remarks of the visitors and let this be another startling point in helping to make our city the best in the country. It must also be mentioned that some reward was given us (even though unsolicited) in the shape of things financial. The hotels, cafés, restaurants, and every line of business seemed to have done a roaring trade, and our colored bretheren got their share as there was quite a number employed in various positions, as waiters, valets, maids, etc., etc., Surely it cannot be gainsaid that this conclave has done some good for us, whether small or great, and for this we desire to express our think for "mercies received."

NOTHING smarter than the black and white checked tailored suits has been developed this season. They are the perfection of tasteful cut in simple, graceful lines, and made up with a perfection of workmanship which is possible only when machines lend their precision in the process of manufacture. Now that designers use so much of the effects to be obtained only by mechanical work, we find the tailored gown indebted to machine stitching for much of its style. To be worn with this trig costume the "tailored hat" makes its appearance every season, sure of the earliest welcome and the most lasting favor. Two of the very latest of this most satisfactory headwear are shown here, developed in satin. One shows a brim lifting at the side and faced with black while the body of the hat is satin of a sunny whiteness. There is no trimming except a pair of black and white wings mounted with a rosette of feathers. They are outspread as in flight. This hat is so full of style that is will lend distinction to the plainest of gowns. One of the new sailors is shown developed in black satin which lies smooth to the frame. It is finished with a pair of wings simulated in satin and posed at the back of the hat. The shape is graceful with an elongated crown and a very slight droop to the brim. VANITY CASES OF ODD DESIGN Manufacturers Have Devised Many New Ideas for This Indispensable Appendage. The vanity case has become so much a part of a woman's outfit that the manufacturers are discovering many odd ways for her to carry it. To take one's powder puff and lip rouge from one's handbag has become commonplace; now a woman can tuck these in her bracelet. One of the new kind has flexible links of gold wire, with the vanity box on top in the shape of an oval medallion with a handsome monogram Or she can wear it around her neck as a sautoir. Fascinating vanity pendants are shown of all styles and prices, from tiny ones of French jewelry to diamond studded boxes no bigger than a child's socket. Among the most popular of the vanity cases for the neck are those of colored Russian enamel on a linked chain to match. Again, one may carry a vanity box on the end of the parasol, or as the head of a big hatpin, disguised as a charm for her chatelaine, or even set in one of the big buttons that ornament her corsage draperies. One girl, who wore a watch on the back of one riding glove, had set in the other a small vanity case ready for instant use when she dismounted. Another girl has a similar case in the end of her crop. The new opera bags include a vanity box, and those that do not may be supplied with them by small pockets sewed to the interior of them. VEIL ADDS MUCH TO EFFECT Selection of Material and Its Adjustment Are Matters of the Utmost Importance. One reason why the French woman —aristocrat or bourgeois—invariably looks so smart, is because of the care with which she selects and puts on her vell. Just now she is wearing with her tailored hat a complexion veil of flesh-colored fine maline which, from a short distance does not show at all, and which makes her skin seem of dazzling fairness. On this veil, in the center of a threadlike flower spray or leaf pattern in self tone, is embroidered a "beauty" spot in black, and the strip of gauze is adjusted so that the spot strikes the face wherever it most becomes it—on one cheek, on the chin or at one corner of the mouth. This complexion veil, like many of those in all-over chenille-dotted or small hexagon mesh or in flower motifs or irregular mesh, is drawn closely about the face and its ends tucked neatly away under the hat's brim at the back. Craquele meshes in either bold or modest floral or scroll pattern, Shetland and Chantilly lace veils, are worn with elaborate hats about which they are draped in a flowing, loose manner and their ends allowed to fall gracefully over the back of the figure. broke venus usually. The material contrasts with the blouse. Sharp points come out over the skirt front. And it is finished off with fancy buttons in true vest style. To date this is the newest touch shown of the blouses of the moment. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. COOLE SUMMER SUIT Underweed & Underweed Model of white moire trimmed with ruching of black maline.

A reddish brown wicker basket, padded and lined with light brown satin, makes a lovely gift to the graduate or bride, if it contains an exquisitely hand-painted, cut-glass bottle of Egyptian bouquet perfume, and a small satin pad of Egyptian bouquet sachet powder, attached to the handle of the basket by means of narrow satin ribbon. The basket itself will prove a permanent ornament to the dressing table, as a convenient receptacle for trinkets, owing to its padded satin bed. Traveler's Hint. Some women, who find the suit case of conventional size often larger than is needed for a short stay,'buy the size sold for children's use. These are much easier to carry, and are often amply sufficient. Women going on a long trip will find the little case a great convenience to hold a few belongings for a considerable absense from the supply trunk. Pretty Baby Caps. Use white lace allover, and draw the fullness in at the back with ribbon run through a tiny hem.

Winter Wheat Yield Greater than Ever Before Known—Spring Wheat Below Expectations. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—A loss of 300,000,000 bushels of grain, the nation's greatest farm crop, has resulted from the great damage wrought by drought and other conditions since July 1, the government's agricultural experts estimated in their August report. A total production of 2,672,000,000 bushels of corn was predicted. This is 452,000,000 bushels, less than last year's cop. The general condition of corn was placed at 75.8 per cent of a normal, compared with 86.9 on July 1. Kansas was hit hardest, the condition there having been reduced from 81 per cent in July to 30 per cent August 1. Oklahoma came next with a condition of 44 against 37 in July, and Nebraska reported 67 against 91 July 1. These three states have almost 19 per cent of the total area planted to corn this year. A bright spot in the monthly grain report were the preliminary statistics showing a production of 511,000,000 bushels of winter wheat. This is the greatest harvest of wheat ever gathered in the United States, exceeding the record crop of 1902 by 10,000,000 bushels. The figures exceeded by 28,000,000 the estimate made by the department in July. Spring wheat, too, was given an increased estimate of production, it being 15,000,000 bushels more than the July estimate, the total being placed at 233,000,000 bushels. With the bumper winter wheat crop and a fairly good spring wheat production, the total harvest of all wheat is estimated at 744,000,000 bushels. A crop this size would place the year's production second only to the record crop of 1901, when 748,000,000 bushels were produced. The harvest of white potatoes, it is estimated, will be smaller by 82,000,000 bushels than the crop of 1912. A total of 339,000,000 bushels is estimated.

Governor Wants Definite Decision Regarding Public Utility Bill Before Naming Railway Commission. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver. — Governor Ammons announced that he would make no appointments to the wage board provided for in the minimum wage for women law until provision could be made for funds with which to carry on the work. The Legislature made no provision for the expenses of this board and the governor believes that it is useless to make any appointments until the question of finances has been settled. The governor will appoint soon the members of the state racing commission provided for in the bill passed by the last Legislature. He has several other minor boards to name and declares he will name no member of the state railroad commission until some definite decision regarding the public utility bill has been made. Commissioned Statley continues to hold over on this board, although his term expired the first of the year. Educators Drop Threatened Injunction Suits. Denver. At the largest official gathering of state educational authorities ever held in Colorado, the heads of all Colorado educational institutions in conference with Governor Elias M. Ammons voted unanimously to drop the threatened injunction suits to bring about a readjustment of the appropriations for the schools and many state boards. Their action quietes the unrest among half a hundred employés at the state house and more than a score of state boards, whose appropriations and salaries would have been held up under the injunctions sought against State Auditor Roady Kenehan. Hoggatt Named on State Land Board. Denver.—Volney T. Hoggatt of Denver was appointed registrar of the State Land Board by Governor Elias M. Ammons to succeed Dr. B. L. Jefferson, who resigned a month ago to become United States minister to Nicaragua. The resignation of Dr. Jefferson was the third to be tendered this year and left the state without a land board. Attorney General Frederick Farrar and State Engineer John E. Field were appointed to act in the remaining two vacancies. They will serve without compensation, and Mr. Hoggatt will receive $3,000 yearly if the fees-of the office are sufficient to pay that amount. Uniform State Law Commission. Denver.—Governor Ammons has appointed Henry C. Hall, Colorado Springs; Harry E. Kelly, Denver, and John W. Davidson, Pueblo, members of a Colorado commission on uniform state laws. These men will be delegates to the conference of the commissioners on uniform state laws to be held in Montreal, Canada, August 26 to 30. Knights Visit Governor Denver.—Members of the drill team of Chicago Commandery No. 19, escorted by Secretary of State Pearce, called on Governor Ammons.

Beaty of Manzanola, Otero county. Beaty was a banker and ranchman and left an estate of $380,000. Steady Increase in Coal Production. Denver.—Coal mining as in industry in Colorado began in 1864, when a production of 500 short tons was recorded. In 1876 the production reached for the first time a total exceeding 100,000 tons, and six years later, in 1882, it had reached the million-ton mark. Since that date the increase has been almost uninterrupted. The production exceeded 3,000,000 tons in 1890; ten years later it had grown to over 5,000,000 tons, and in 1910 it exceeded 11,000,000 tons, but in 1912 it fell just below the 11,000,000-ton mark. Two Mining Companies File Articles. Denver.—Articles of incorporation have been filed by two large mining corporations, combined capitalization $350,000, with Secretary of State Pearce. The Crucible Steel Mining and Milling Company, one of the petitioners, will develop tungsten fields in Boulder county, and will erect a mill near Boulder. The Marchmont company is incorporated to acquire various properties in mining counties adjacent to Denver. McGinnis Gets Highest Rating. Denver.—The State Civil Service Commission announced the result of the examination for state immigration commissioner, which was held March 4. J. Stanley McGinnis of Denver received the highest mark and will probably receive the appointment. This position was abolished by the Legislature, but Governor Ammons vetoed the bill and the bureau will be supported partly by public and partly by private funds. Of the forty who took the test twenty-one passed.

Melish Asks Clan to Heed Pleading Cries of Widows. and Orphans. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver. — Grand Master William Bromwell Melish, Knights Templar of America, hurling broadcast an appeal for twentieth century knighthood, charged verbally into the lists and crossed lances with pressing social problems. The grand master de- livered a striking address in response to Governor Ammons’ welcome to the thirty-second triennial conclave at El Jebel temple, In a red-blooded demand for an ap- plication of medieval chivalry to prob- lems of today, he scored the child la- bor system and recommended the valiant protection of women-as a solu- tion to the white slavery problem. Fol- lowing the address, the grand encamp- ment entered on its initial executive session. Within sight of the replica of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and in the shadow of decorations breathing of Medieval days, the grand master brought a message from knighthood’s birthplace and declared that this age of all times needs chivalrous men. He spoke of the maidens to be protected today and who need to be guarded even more closely than in the days when steel rang on steel and hostile horde assailed ancient strongholds. In referring to the white slavery problem, the grand master said: “Christian knights, pledged to heroic service, I wold set before you a new crusade for the defense of innocent maidens. White slavery must cease. Our pledge to defend innocent maidens summons us to use every means with- in our power to destroy the white slave traffic. Every woman must be as safe from scoundrelism in every part of our eountry as in the bosom of her own family. ; ‘As Christ draws all men to him by being lifted up, so will His followers defend the Christian religion by obey- ing the Cali of the Cross.” Two Miners Fall, One Dies. ‘Telluride—One man is dead and another is dying as the result of two accidents here.

Colorado Springs.—Investigation of the damage done by the electrical storm and cloudburst here indicated that first reports were exaggerated. ‘The loss appears to have been con- fined to the drowning of live stock in the bottoms, to partial wrecking of three or four houses by fire or water and to damage to roads from wash- outs.
