LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY SEGREGATION PROTEST REACHES PRESIDENT Report of Interior by Committee Made at a Mass Meeting. VOL. XX. SEGREGIO PROTEST REA PRE Report of Interior by Committe Special to COLORADO STATESMAN: The petition and protest against segregation in departmental service, formulated by the National Independent Political League, was presented to the President at noon of the 7th inst. The committee in charge was composed of Wm. Monroe Trotter, Editor of the Boston Guardian; Wm. A. Sinclair, Phila.; Thos. Watker, lawyer of this city. Maurice W. Spencer, Delaware; F. H. M. Murray, Virginia and Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett, Chicago. The committee filed abundant material with the President that would seem to leave no possible doubt as to the existence of this practice. The petition embracing upward of 15000 names was placed on the table before the President and was a splendid object lesson of the unanimity of the race all over the country in its fight against this hateful form of racial prejudice. In the list of forty eight states which contributed to the size of this monster petition Colorado took its place represented by a number of names of Negro citizens. The committee was unanimous in its praise of the masterly way in which Mr. Trotter presented the case, occupying more than thirty minutes during which the President was an attentive listener and occasionally interjecting a question. Among the proofs exhibited was a copy of the order issued by the Auditor of the Interior Department which specifically prescribed segregation and provided the penalty of dismissal for its violation. The President said that this was the first evidence he had of its having been ordered or recognized in an official way and stated that he would inquire into it. Mr. Trotter went minutely into all phases of the matter as had been gathered at first hand at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving: the Treas. Dept., Sixth Auditors Office and P. O. Dept. and while this evidence of so specific a nature could not be controverted, the opinion was expressed by the President that there had much exaggeration in connection with the statement "that heads of departments under this administration are encouraging such segregation." A report of the interview with the President was made the occasion, for a large mass meeting at the 19th St. Baptist Church on Friday night, 8th inst., Lawyer Thos. Walker, Chairman of the local branch of the League presided. On this occasion after earnest prayer by Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks, the Pastor, letters of condemnation were read from the Mayor of Boston; the Govornor-elect of Mass.; Congressman Thacher and others. Mr. Trotter devoted sometime to the vindication of the action of the League in recommending that the Negro vote the Democratic ticket at the last election. In this connection he read his speech to the President, then Governor of New Jersey, when the committee of the League called upon him at the Executive Mansion at Trenton, tolearn his views and attitude on the Negro question. In reply Mr. Wilson said that if elected he would be the President of all the people and treat all classes of citizens with exact and even justice. Nay, more if elected I will endeavor to interpret my duty in the spirit of the Christian religion and will aim to be a Christian gentleman in the White House." Such words Mr. Trotter claims were sufficient to give heart to the most skeptical and so thoroughly convinced the committee that they left Mr Wilson determined to advocate his election, feeling assured if elected, the race would have a sympathetic friend in the White House. Mr. Trotter felt in view of the foregoing that it was the duty of the League to bring this matter in as forcible a way as possible to the attention of the President pointing out that in spite of his brave assurances and comforting words, segregation and discrimina- DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY.

Resolutions condemning the unwarranted attack upon the Negro contained in the talk of Congressman Aswell on the floor of the House recently were presented by Mr. M. W. Spencer and were vigorously and unanimously adopted. It is said this Louisianan is a candidate for the position of Supt. of the Public Schools of the District recently made vacant by Dr. Davidson accepting the call to Pittsburg. With this man's well defined estimate of the inferiority of the Negro it is difficult to imagine what might not occur to our school system should he be placed at its head. Mr. Sinclair spoke forcefully and with many witty allusions to the seemingly concerted movement to degrade and humiliate the Negro and called attention to the fact that an attempt at segregation was made under Mr. Cleveland who promptly vetoed the effort and was on the contrary eminently just in his consideration of Negro employes. Mrs. Ida Weils Barnett strongly advocated organization and urged every person present to join either the N. A. A. C. P. or the N. I. P. League. It was also urged that Negroes everywhere be asked to write letters of protest to the President and his cabinent that the serious view taken by all the people of every section may be appreciated. It may be stated that the net results of the splendid effort of Mr. Trotter and committee has been an awakened and stimulated racial solidarity that promises well. When it is sought to extract comfort on account of the interview and gild the future official life of the Negro employe with the beautiful gold of hope, it is freely confessed there are grave misgivings.

DANIEL JONES, G. Sec'y. NOTES ON NE- GRO PROGRESS Bowling Green, Ky., has a Negro drug store, recently established by A. J. Duncan, Ph. G. The Taconna Grocery and Meat Company, composed of Negroes, operates a very large and successful business at 612 West Street and 611 Indiana Avenue, Indianapolis, They maintain an auto delivery service. On Indiana Auenue, Indianapolis, within four blocks, there are seventy-two Negro business establishments all doing a good business. One of the most successful real estate dealers in Indianapolis is J. Walter Hodge. Mr. Hodge's office is right down to date, and the volume of business annually transacted by him runs into the hundred thousands. Logan H. Stewart, one of the most successful colored real estate dealers and builders in Indiana, has recently established a factory for the manufacture of cement building blocks at Evansville, Ind., and is operating it most successfully with an entire crew of Negro employees. Smith and Moore, Negro contractors at Hopkinsville, My., have the contract for building the stone wall around the birthplace farm of Jefferson Davis in Christian County, Ky. The stone for the wall will be quarried from the quarries of these Negro contractors. The $20,000 Colored Pythian Temple at Evansville, Ind, will be ready for occupancy in December. The first or ground floor will have office rooms and an auditorium, while the third floor will be fitted up with lodge rooms. The largest and most successful building contractor in Hopkinsville, Ky., is a colored man named Brooks. He was given the contract for building the new buildings of the Kentucky State Normal School, and has practically all the big building contracts in that city. He is now erecting a new theatre there. The Metropolitan Company, bankers is the title of a new banking house by Negroes of Ocala, Florida. It opened its doors Nov. 1, 1913. This institution has started under most favorable auspices. The white people of that community through the press has had a good word to say for it. Its officers and board of directors are of the leading men of the city. Capital stock $25,000. The Negroes of Evansville, Ind., are desirous of having a drug store established there. They guarantee it will pay well. Evansville has a total population of 70,000 of which 10,000 are Negroes. It has no Negro pharmacy, and one would do well there. The people would assist in furnishing some of the financial backing necessary to establish a first-class pharmacy. London, England, Nov. 4. —It is quite probable that the first Negro Mayor to be elected in London will be J. R. Archer, who is the Progressive candidate for the mayoralty of Battersea. Mr. Archer has twenty-four years, for the last eight years being engaged in the photographic business. He is very popular, and the indications are that he will be elected. His wife is a colored woman. Liberia, Africa, the little Negro republic is to have an industrial school on the order of Tuskegee and Hampton. Recently $60,000 was given for the purpose, a gift of the American Colonization Society. The terms of the gift say that it shall be applied solely to provide free education for colored children. The amount is a splendid contribution to that country. It will do very much there where civilization is in its earliest stage NO 11 and where the population is small in contrast to our popular centers. Mrs. Annie Young, of Pittsburg Pennsylvania, had on exhibition at the recent Emancipation Exposition held in Philadelphia, a crocheted skirt valued at more than $200. It was particularly admired at the recent exposition. Mrs. Young has decided to present the skirt to Tuskegee Institute for the benefit of the young women who receive instruction in Dorothy Hall. It is a valuable thing of beauty and well worth being seen by students and teachers alike. Chicago, Ill., Nov. 5.—Mrs. Pankhurst Tuesday made a speech to 2,000 Negro women and men at the Institutional Church in the black belt on South Dearborn street. She pictured the good they could accomplish for their race by working for the reforms their white sisters advocated. Of the possibility of the British Government ordering her arrest when aboard ship, Mrs. Pankhurst said: "I hope they will not order my arrest. When I arrive in England I do not wish to be confined in jail, but I do want to throw myself into the flight." ADOLPHUS BUSCH LEAVES $10,000 FOR NEGRO CHARITY. In a private bequest to charities, the late Adolphus Busch included $10,000 to be divided among the following colored institutions: The Provident Hospital, 2824 Lawton avenue, St. Louis, $5,000; The Bartlett Agricultural and Industrial Home, at Dalton, Mo., $2,000; Colored Old Folks' Home, of St. Louis, $1,000; St. Louis Colored Orphans' Home, St. Louis, $1,000; St. Francis Orphaus' Home, at Normandy, $1,000.

SIXTH MAN CONFESSES SIXTH MAN CONFESSES STRIKING MINERS ADMIT KILLING LA VETA GUARDS. Ammons Regrets Martial Law Was Not in Force So Guilty Might Be Punished at Once. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Walsenburg, Colo., Nov. 12.—The coal mine strikers, members and officers of the La Veta union, and all who were directly implicated, have made full confessions of the ambushing and killing near that town of three mine guards, an automobile driver and the wounding of a nonunion miner. Eeach of the men told in detail the particular part he played. Eeach had repeatedly denied any connection with the murders until he realized he had been trapped. Then they confessed to Major Townsend. The men who confessed are Charles Richards, vice president of the La Veta union; Charles Sheperd, secretary, and Edward Krupa and Peter Rich, members of the union. Charles Richards, Daniel Richards and Edward Richards are brothers. Walsenburg. — Tuesday's activities in the strike district have centered about the troop movements and the confession of Charles Sheperd, the sixth of the men implicated in the killing of the four guards at La Veta. His story is substantially the same as that of four of the men who confessed Monday. The six men are being held incommunicado by the military authorities. Denver. — "Shooting would be too good for the men who assassinated the deputies at La Veta last Saturday," declared Elias M. Ammons, governor of Colorado, speaking as a citizen and not as chief executive of the state. "They should be hanged," he declared, "and it is to be regretted that martial law was not in force at the time of the killing, so that the men who have confessed to the massacre might be taken out and executed immediately." Governor Ammons did not voice his opinions as the governor of Colorado, but as a private citizen. He added: "As the situation is now, the law will take its usual course, but I am going to insist that everything possible be done to bring about a speedy trial, I am convinced," he said, "that we have the guilty men." Governor Ammons' Stand Indorsed. Pueblo.—The stand taken by Governor Ammons in regard to the coal strike was indorsed at a regular meeting of the Pueblo Builders Association.

E. Lewis. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Unless the mortgage now resting on the old home of the late Frederick Douglass in Washington is paid, the estate will have to be sold. It was bequeathed with all the furniture, books, papers, art treasures and curios, as well as the 15 acres of land surrounding it, to the colored race to be maintained by it as a memorial, the same as Mount Vernon maintained by the people of this country. For some years a heavy mortgage has rested upon the home. The trustees have no funds to meet the obligation, and the home has no earning capacity, being simply a memorial. Because of lack of funds, not only is the mortgage pressing, but the home is falling into decay. The Douglass home is a large, old southern mansion sitting at the top of Cedar hill, Anacostia, D. C., overlooking the Potomac river and Washington. Anacostia, once a municipality, now is a part of Washington. The Douglass home has enhanced in value, because Washington has grown out to it and around it, and it is only a few minutes ride by street car from the White House or the capitol. While the colored race this year is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation, this old home of Douglass, who contributed so much to bring about that emancipation, is falling into decay, and in grave danger of passing out of the hands of the race by the foreclosure of the mortgage. The mortgage will have to be lifted this year. Ralph W. Tyler of Washington, D. C., former auditor for the navy department, is making a strenuous effort to arouse his race to the necessity of contributing funds to save the home. Mr. Tyler said today it would be a sad reflection upon his race if, after 50 years of freedom, it would permit the home to pass from the race, and the furniture, books and art treasures which Douglass spent a life time in collecting, to be scattered. The Douglass home is one of the historical spots in Washington. There was much of moral making, much of human kindness and even human affection under slavery as managed by the southern white man. Punishment there was, but there is punishment for offenders under every system. But the point is not that slavery was morally or politically either right or necessary, but that the black people are amenable to training and kindness. The great Christian white people of American can not escape a certain degree of moral responsibility for the Negroes' condition. Superiority can not escape being responsible for the inferiors around it. It may despise these inferiors and keep them in self-defense at their distance and in their place or sphere, but superiority in a Christian people can not escape responsibility for its inferiors just as Christianity is responsible to send the gospel to the heathen and just as the state must educate its ignorant people, of whatever race. The Negro public schools should be brought up to a state of real efficiency in giving a sound intelligent, moral and manual industrial training. Every grade of every Negro school should have its graded exercises in the useful manual, industrial arts. The white people have it in their hands to mould the Negro people to a greater usefulness.—E. L. Blackshear in the Houston Post. New York's mine output in 1912 was valued at $35,519,382. A negro boy of six years, whose parents moved from the country, entered a city school. The teacher, observing the child, went to him and, learning that he had come to enter the school, asked: 'What have you come to school for?' "To learn to read," said the boy. And why do you want to read. "So I can read the sign boards at the forks of the road, and know which road to take," replied the boy. The child's conception of education was, indeed, narrow. But his words contain a broad truth. The child soon finds that the road of life forks, the left division leading to the city of wickedness and destruction; the right to usefulness, happiness and eternal life. So much alike are the two roads at and near the division point that he does not always know which one to take. He needs the influence of the school and an education to enable him to read the sign boards aright and know which road of life to take. A youth named Abdul Latiff was arrested at Calcutta for having climbed up a water pipe 120 feet long in order to hold converse with his sweetheart. Among those who attended the national convention of Rural Mail Carriers in Indianapolis recently were many women. There are 16,000 working girls in Philadelphia who are living in furnished rooms away from home. Russia's women have taken violently to sport and aspire to lead all Europe both physically and mentally. Italy has more than 900 hermits living in caves. Sam Keeton, colored, of Bloomington, this county, left Sunday morning for the Mount Sterling market, with $8,000 or $10,000 worth of cattle. He was forced to take the stock away on account of the scarcity of water, which, we are told, threatened a famine in his neighborhood until the situation was relieved by Sunday afternoon's showers. Sam Keeton is one of the most widely known "cattle kings" of eastern Kentucky. He is a farmer, but the major portion of his wealth has been realized through cattle dealing. Like other successful "punchers," he "takes the saddle" and rides from county to county, and as regular as clockwork he is at Mount Sterling on each court day with several thousand dollars' worth of bovines. Should Sam Keeton, "the Magoffin county nigger," fail to be on the market yards the "big white gem"m" would flee through superstition like an actor when a dog trots across the stage. Sam Keeton was born, reared and (not) educated at Bloomington, in the northern end of Magoffin county. He "don't know a letter in the book," using his own words, and neither can he "figure." In short, he is absolutely illiterate. But his wife is well educated, and they are educating their offspring. His method of calculation is simple, unique and remarkable. This is how he does it: For a dollar he makes a long mark; for half a dollar he makes half a mark; for a quarter he makes a "little" mark; for a dime he makes a dot. He married a daughter of Green Gardner, and the union has been blessed with seven children, six of whom are living. He is still in the prime of life, being only forty-one or forty-two years old—Salyersville (Ky.) Correspondence to N. Y. Sun. Georgia is to lay more stress upon teaching Negro children in the country districts practical subjects rather than those will be of no use to them. Of this the Savannah News says: "Prof. George D. Godard will doubtless find no other part of his work as state supervisor of rural elementary schools more interesting or important than that of carrying out plans for changing the system of instruction in the colored schools. It is understood that the plan provides for paying more attention to teaching colored pupils to use their hands and less to filling their heads with a lot of ill digested learning that would be of little value to them. "Industrial and manual training is infinitely of more value to the average Negro than such an education as he would be likely to get by studying grammar and geography and the like in the schools. The Negro who is a trained workman is more likely to be happier, steadier and a better citizen than if he were given the kind of education that would make him look upon honest work as beneath him. "The contemplated changes in the rural colored schools should tend to make Negroes more contented on the farm and to keep them from flocking to the cities to spend most of their time in idleness, which is the first step toward crime. The loafing Negro is a heavy burden on the taxpayers. The hard working Negro is a good citizen." The dignity and usefulness of profitable labor underlie the teachings of Hampton institute and Tuskegee institute, highly successful schools for training Negroes. The industrial exhibit at the recent negro exposition at New York included 50,000 patents from the United States patent office at Washington, which have been granted to negroes for useful inventions. A model of the first machine for manufacturing shoes, the invention of a negro, was one of the interesting exhibits. An automatic device for oiling locomotives was also on view. Exhibits were shown from the negro republics of Haiti, Santo Domingo and Liberia and pageants presented daily at the armory illustrating important events in the history of the negroes in the United States. Lucifer matches—that is, matches tipped with an explosive substance that bursts into flame on being struck—were first used about 1834. Many improvements have been made in matches since then, the most important of which was the invention of the safety match, striking on the box only. In England and Wales there are 1,179,276 women who cannot hope to get husbands, this being the number of females in excess to males.

JOHN LIND QUITS MEXICAN CAPITAL HUERTA, GIVEN TILL 6 O'CLOCK TO ANSWER U. S. DEMANDS, IGNORES ULTIMATUM. HALE SEES CARRANZA NATURE OF CONFERENCE KEPT SECRET; CRISIS AT HAND, WASHINGTON BELIEF. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Mexico City, Nov. 13.—General Victoriano Huerta tacitly refused last night to accede to the demands of the United States, expressed in an ultimatum sent to him by President Wilson's personal representative, John Lind. General Huerta was notified early in the day that unless he returned an answer by 6 o'clock to the effect that he would prevent the newly-elected Congress from convening and, furthermore, make this action known to the diplomatic corps by midnight, the United States would have no further parleying with the Mexican government. Lind waited until 6 o'clock and received no answer. He then made arrangements for his departure on the train leaving for Vera Cruz at 8 o'clock. It was announced, however, that General Huerta had one chance more—that if he took the action demanded by midnight the fact that he failed to reply to Lind within the time specified would be overlooked. Lind could see no good reason to suppose that Huerta intended to accede. Nelson O'Shaughnessy the charge, was the messenger who delivered the ultimatum. He was unable to get into personal touch with General Huerta but left the message at the President's office. It was intimated at the palace that General Huerta had not received the note in time to give it full consideration. This, however, did not appear to Lind a valid excuse for procrastination. The prevention of the convening of Congress has been one essential point in the negotiations conducted by Lind. There were two reasons for this; first, it was thought that the new Congress would lose no time in passing measures having to do with the oil concessions; and, second, because the convening of Congress would give an air of legality to the Huerta government. News of the conference at Nogales, Sonora state, between William B. Hale, President Wilson's personal representative, and General Carranza, caused intense excitement here. Sympathizers with the revolutionary cause were elated. General Carranza and his associates appeared highly pleased with their conference with Hale, and among all the insurgent chiefs here a spirit of optimism prevailed. Typist Owns Million in Phone Stock. Denver—Mary Stewart, a stenographer in a law office, is to be interrogated in the government's investigation of the alleged telephone trust, as to how she earned money with which to pay for between $500,000 and $1,000,000 worth of stock in the Interstate Consolidated Company of Portland.

AMMONS TO SUE KENEHAN. Auditor Wired Deputy Not to Approve Claims of Militia. Denver, Nov. 13.—Governor Amons will file a suit in the Supreme Court in the name of the people of the state for a mandamus to compel Auditor Roady Kenehan to audit and adjust claims for the expenses of the militia in the coal strike field and to approve certificates of indebtedness is sued in payment of the claims. A petition for leave to enter such a suit was filed with the court last evening by Attorney General Farrar. The cost of maintaining troops in the field is approximately $5,000 a day. There are 931 men on duty. All privates receive $2 a day and the commissioned officers higher pay, according to their rank. The pay of civilian assistants, provisions, clothing and transportation are the other chief expenses. Ballou told the governor that Beenehan, who is in Seattle at the convention of the American Federation of Labor, had wired not to approve any certificates. Colorado Shield Placed in Obelisk. Washington. After a long delay, lay, Colorado's shield finally has been placed in the Washington monument, along with those of other states, to the memory of the first President.

Senator Shafroth of Colorado will set the date for the ceremony. Colorado's contribution is chisled from a handsome block of Colorado yule marble, mined in the Sopris national forest. THE U. S. CROP REPORT INDICATES MOST VALUABLE OUT- PUT EVER HARVESTED. Year's Corn Crop Estimated to Be Worth $1,741,353,019 - Wheat Yield Shows Advance Over 1912. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—This year's corn crop promises to be the most valuable this or any other nation ever has produced, although the department of agriculture's preliminary estimate of productions indicates it will be more than half a million bushels less in size than the record crop of last year, and the smallest since 1903. Based on the department's figures of 70.7 cents per bushel, the average farm value on November 1, the crop, as now estimated, is worth $1,741,353,019, while the value of the 1912 record crop was $1,520,454,000. The previous most valuable crop was that of 1909, when it was worth $1,452,822,000. The department's preliminary estimate of production increased by 90,000,000 bushels the estimate made in October, and also that made in September. This was taken to indicate that the damage from the drought in the middle west was somewhat overestimated. The department's final estimate of production next month may show further increase in the size of the crop. The department of agricultural announced November crop report as follows: Corn—Production 2,463,017,000 bushels. Acreage yield 23 bushels. Average from price 70.7 cents a bushel Quality 95.8 per cent. Corn on farms of 1912 crop on November 1, 137,972,000 bushels. Flaxseed — Production, 19,234,000; yield, 7.9; price, 118.1; quality, 101.8; Tobacco — Production, 903,875,000; pounds; yield, 789.8; quality, 97.4. Wheat—Price, 77.0; weight, measured bushels, 58.6. Hay—Price, $12.26. The corn crop is compared with an output of 3,124,746,000 bushels last year. The potato yield in 1912 also was in advance of this year's crop, the yield twelve months ago being estimated at 420,647,000 bushels. Wheat Shows Advance. The wheat estimate this year is 753,233 bushels, compared with 730,267,000 bushels last year. Yield per acre, 15.2 bushels, compared with 15.9 bushels last year and 14.2 bushels, the ten-year average. The total estimated production of oats this year was 1,122,139,000 bushels, compared with 1,418,337,000 bushels last year. Yield per acre, 29.3 bushels, compared with 37.4 bushels last year.

SOMETIMES our drooping souls are lifted up by the reassuring arguments in white men’s newspapers and magazines, endeavoring to prove to their readers that all Negroes are not bad Negroes, as many of those readers seem prone to assume, but that there are good Negroes as well as bad Negroes, and that the good should not be made to suffer for the bad. This argument is very necessary, for there are thousands of white people who are not inlined to believe any-such statements. It is about time that our own newspapers began to return the com- pliment, for there is some necessity for proving that all white men are not bad white men, but that there are good and bad white men, just as there are good and bad Negroes, and that the good white man should not be classed indiseriminately with the bad white man, We have often heard the conclusive argument that ‘a white man is a white man,”’ the meaning being that upon some possible test regarding the Negro, every white man will finally fall short of proving himself a whole-hearted and fair-minded brother. . True, we do not carry this thought uppermost in our minds, but the events of life sometimes drive us to the expression of such an underlying conviction of heart, no less distinet and emphatic than that of the self-exalting white man regarding us, But it is a mis- take. There are some white men and women—perhaps we ought to say many white men and women—who represent the aeme of nobility in their consistent and enduring attitude toward the peoples of other and Jess advanced races, and these men and women deserve an appreciation and an admiration entirely above that which is given to those who are ordinarily called good, The white man who puts his race everlastingly above all otherd races of earth, and thereby assumes a superior right to the very breath of life, calls himself a good white man, but he is a bad one, Some white men assume the sanctity of the saints and preach the gospel of the Holy One, with the special, self-adopted dispensation of front seats and exclusive blessings for white people, and consider them- selves not only good but devout white men, but they are really bad white men, Yet there are those who face the scorn and the calumny of their fellows and the small understanding and ingratitude of their benefici- aries, and, regardless of mental and social differences and the sacrifice of natural advantages and their attendant glories, who persistently, un- flaggingly and without wearying hold up the hands of the weak and proclaim the equality of God’s gifts to men. ‘Their faith and their un- selfishness are not only noble but wonderful. As honest men, we must admit that the Negro has many distinet faults; they are exeused, as we excuse them, as human. We nist con- fess that the Negro, by the-very reason of racial and social differences, ereates a domestic problem full of incongruities difficult to eradicate; but these good white men and women call them natural, as we call them natural, and preach the doctrine of patience, forbearance, kindness and helpfulness to their haughty own. Perhaps you will say there are few such white men. But there are many. And what is best, they form that wonderful minority which con- stitutes what is called the leaders of thought and of progress. There may be but a few in each community, or there may be many in some communities and few in others, but they are seattered everywhere— north, south, east and west. ey ‘That is why, in spite of bitter opposition and oppression, the way ‘The good white man is one of God’s noblemen. May his tribe inerease! has been opened for our progress, and that is why it will remain open. FFTFFFFFFASHPFFFFF FF FF FPF FFF FFF + PF+FF EFF FFF+ FFP P Foto oo? Pea ns!

Wo Says one of these pompous wiseacres, “are more economical than met because it is a characteristic of the sex.” . _ As there are only two sexes hie had even chances and happened to be correct, as women certainly are more economical than men; but it is ubsurd to suppose that men and women differ as to such emotions and mental tendencies as avarice, imprudence, thrift or improvidence. Such intellectual qualities have no more relation to parenthood than they have to respiration and digestion. Certainly each sex has its peculiarities, which, however, have’ to do essentially with bodily structure and function. Such apparent differences as there may be between mentalities of men and women are due to, the influence of the different surroundings and duties which the established social order demands. All of a species eat the same foods, have the same diseases and enemies and develop the racial individuality under identically the same conditions except so far as maternity and paternity are concerned. Consequently every member of a species must exactly resemble every other member save in those particulars directly concerned with parenthood. Long hair is'not a manifestation of femininity. A daughter just as probably inherits her father’s mentality as her mother’s. Only the capacity for motherhood descends exclusively in the female line. Some day, probably beyond ihe Rhine, a psychologist will assemble composite male and female intellects and bread slice them into serial sections numbered in pairs, so they can be superimposed and compared. He should carefully mark each slice with an M. or F. Otherwise I am sure there would be no way to fell them apart. But the question as to whether men or women are more economical has been decided by common consent, for in America at least nearly al! purchases are made by women—by the women of the house, the wife, mother and general superintendent of the home. She is not thrifty and saving because she wants to be, but because she has the responsibility and would be the first and heaviest sufferer if willful waste made woeful want, If a man were similarly placed so that he would be praised or blamed accordingly as the fireside life were comfortable or dreary he would also know how many onions there should be in a bunch. Men spend money for investment and speculation which may be done shrewdly or foolishly. Women spend money for things to be eaten up or worn out; for experi- ences to be enjoyed or endured and for services to be rendered. Such transactions may be economical or extravagant. Extravagance and irresponsibility are inseparably linked, which is why father makes such bad bargains when an emergency drives him to the battfirlena’ butcher or baker.

When light comes darkness goes. There are two ways of forming character. One is to conquer our sins; the other is to cultivate the oppo- site virtues. The latter plan‘is the best, because it is the eurest; the virtue replaces the sin. Christianity is not a drill; it is life—full, free, radiant and rejoicing. What a young man should do is to not vex himself about his imperfec- tions, but fix his mind on the bright image of perfection; not weary his soul with rules, but live with Christ as one liveth with a friend. ‘here is one way to complete manhood, and that is fellowship with Jesus Christ. ~ a hundred wore them.

Where first/I sat down a spitte had defiled not only the floor but the heater. I changed my seat, bu found myself sitting next to another spitter. Of what use are all the signs that are put in the cars, and what cai ‘a woman do or say when she sees these things? ks I think that if the small sign that, is stuck up in the corner of th car, “Fine From 81 to $5 for Each Offense,” was put on the door in larg letters near the sign “Join the Anti-Spitting Crusade,” it would, perhaps do more good. But who is going to do the arresting when there is ni officer in the car. you ever give it a real trial? A person can't stop worrying merely by saying, “Go to, now, I am not going to worry any more.” The more hi thinks about stopping the more impossible it is to stop, ‘There is a way, though.

JOHN ENGSTROM Denver, Colorado DENVER, COLO BIRD REGULATIONS President's Proclamation Puts Under Federal Protection, for First Time, Large Number of Insectivorous Birds—Country Divided. Washington.—Following the proclamation of the president of the United States establishing regulations for the protection of migratory birds, the department of agriculture set in motion machinery that made these regulations effective in every state on November 1, the date set for the operation of the proclamation. These regulations put under federal protection, for the first time, a large number of migratory game and insectivorous birds, and thus placed federal restrictions on the 5,000,000 hunters of the United States. In enforcing these regulations federal authorities will cooperate with state game commissioners and other state authorities in carrying out the provisions of the law, and to prevent complications in the local enforcement of regulations. The states have been grouped into 13 units or districts, each in charge of an inspector. Several of these positions in the west will be filled temporarily by regular experienced employees of the department. Among the birds protected by the regulations are the brant, wild duck, goose, swan, cranes of various species, rail, several kinds of shore birds, pigeon, dove, wild pigeon, bobolink, catbird, chickadee, cuckoo, flicker, flycatcher, grosbeak, humming bird, kinglet, martin, meadow lark, night hawk, nuthatches, oriole, robin, shrike, swallow, swift, thrush, warbler, whippoorwill, woodpecker and wren. The regulations for the enforcement of the law separate the country into two zones known as the breeding and wintering zones. The former comprises 25 states lying wholly or in part north of latitude 40 degrees and the Ohio river, and the latter comprises 23 states and the District of Columbia lying wholly or in part south of latitude 40 and the Ohio river. A close season has been established on the catbird, chickadee, grosbeak, humming bird, martin, meadow lark, bullbat, robin, swallow, thrush, whippoorwill and woodpecker. The regulations contain a prohibition abolishing the hunting of all migratory game and insectivorous birds from sunse to sunrise. In Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia and South Carolina the close season for the reedbird extends from November 1 to August 31. A close season until September 1, 1918 is established on such migratory game birds as the band-tailed pigeon, the little brown sandhill whooping crane, swan and curlew, and on all shore birds except the black breasted and golden plover, Wilson or jack snipe, woodcock, and yellowlegs. A close season until the same date is also established on wood ducks in Malne, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Kentucky, California, Oregon and Washington; on rails in California and Vermont; and on woodcock in Illinois and Missouri. A close season has been likewise put in force on all migratory birds passing over or at rest on any of the waters of the main streams of the Mississippi river between Minneapolis and Memphis, and on the Missouri river between Bismarck and Nebraska. A City. The killing or capture of any such birds on the shores or from any boat or floating object along these streams is prohibited. The general open season for waterfowl in the northern zone is from September 1 to December 16, and in the southern zone from November 1 to January 16. Massachusetts has a close season on Waterfowl from January 1 to September 15; New York excepting Long Island, from December 16 to September 16; Long Island, Oregon and Washington from January 10 to October 1; New Jersey from February 1 to November 1; Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin from December 1 to September 7; Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas from February 1 to November 1; District of Columbia, Kansas, New Mexico and West Virginia from December 16 to September 1; Florida, Georgia and South Carolina from February 16 to November 20; Missouri and Nevada from January 1 to September 15, and Arizona and California from February 1 to October 15. 10; Rhode Island from December 1 to November 1; Pennsylvania and Long Island from December 1 to October 15; Delaware and Louisiana from January 1 to November 15; West Virginia from December 1 to October 1; and Georgia from January 1 to December 1. The season for shore birds is September 1 to December 16. Killing of shore birds is prohibited in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Long Island from December 1 to August 15; in New Jersey from December 1 to September 16; Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Wisconsin, from December 1 to September 7; Oregon and Washington from December 1 to October 1; Florida, Georgia and South Carolina from February 1 to November 20; Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas from February 1 to November 1; Tennessee from December 16 to October 1; Arizona and California from February 1 to October 15; and Utah from December 16 to October 1, where it is also forbidden to shoot yellowlegs until September 1, 1918. the other day to learn why Senator Lane of Oregon had introduced a bill providing for such an innovation. The bill was read by title recently during the senate session and momentarily escaped the notice of argus-eyed members. "What the dickens are the Indians doing with aeroplanes?" demanded one senator. "And why do they need clerks to keep the wabbly things in the air?" The senator was told the reading clerk had read the title of the bill correctly, which provided for more help to clear up the "heirship work" that has piled up in the bureau of Indian affairs. The senator left suddenly after asking that the fact of his visit be kept quiet. Other senators who stormed in to demand explanations likewise made sudden and quiet exits when the explanation was forthcoming. ris of the bureau of the census, department of commerce. There were 291 establishments in the United States engaged in the manufacture and refining of sugar and sirup in 1909. Of these, 58 were engaged in the manufacture of sugar from bets, 214 in the manufacture of sugar or sirup from cane, and 19 in the refining of cane sugar. The total number of persons engaged in these three industries was 24,047, of whom 34.9 per cent. were employed in the beet-sugar factories, 22.1 per cent. in the cane mills, and 43 per cent. in the refineries. The quantity of beet sugar reported by the factories in 1909 was 501,682 tons, valued at $45,937,629, and that of cane sugar 326,858 tons, valued at $26,095,673. The quantity of refined sugar turned out by the refineries, which would include the product made from foreign raw sugar as well as from domestic cane sugar, was not reported. According to the census of agriculture, the farm production of sugar and sirup in 1909 amounted to 125,647 pounds of cane sugar, 14,060,206 pounds of maple sugar, 21,633,579 gallons of cane sirup, 16,532,000 gallons of sorghum, and 4,106,418 gallons of maple sirup. The glucose factories produced, in 1909, 769,660,210 pounds of glucose, valued at $17,922,514, and 159,060,478 pounds of grape sugar, valued at $3,620,816. In this country beech is the favorite material for wooden shoes, the manufacture of which has reached considerable proportions in the United States according to the department of agriculture, which has just issued a bulletin on the use of the wood. These shoes, the department says, cost from 60 to 75 cents a pair and are good for two years. They are worn by those who have to work in cold or wet places, such as tanneries, breweries, and livery stables, and by workmen in steel mills and glass factories who must walk on hot grates or floors. Farmers, too, are classed among the users. Beech wood is put to a very much wider range of uses than the average person would be likely to suspect. The department says beech enters in to hundreds of articles from hobby horse rockers to butchers' blocks. We walk on beech floors, eat off beech picnic plates, carry beech baskets, play with beech toys, sit on beech chairs and in dozens of other ways use articles made of beech almost every day of our lives. Its freedom from taste fits the wood especially for articles which come in contact with foodstuffs and beech meat boards, skewers, lard tubs, butter boxes, sugar hogsheads refrigerators, dishes, spoons, and scoops are widely used. Only one species of beach grows naturally in the United States, but few trees in this country have a wider commercial range. It extends from the Gulf of Mexico into eastern Canada, and in practically every place where it grows it is cut for market.

The rich broaches and heavy weavings in plain ribbons are used for opera bags and for the handsome shopping bags which city women find it convenient to carry with them when they have small purchases to make and intend carrying them home. Ribbons in lighter weight, such as the Dresdens, in taffeta, which are found in so many beautiful designs, are chosen for all those bags that form accessories to the furnishings of the home. Among these, those with flowered patterns on a plain silk ground having wide borders of gauze are the newest and most beautiful of the season's offerings. Such a ribbon is shown here in the pretty corset bag pictured. A new design in a shopping bag which may be made long enough to answer for a music roll as well, is pictured. It is made of brown ribbon and a figured ribbon stitched together. A narrow silver braid is placed over the stitching. The top of the bag is edged with the same braid and a little finish of silver ball trimming is placed along the bottom. The bag is not gathered at the top, but is provided with four cords by which it is held. It is laid in a few plats at each side, held in place by an ornament made of the silver cord. A substantial ribbon is required for this novel design. A collar bag of figured silk suitable as a gift to a man is provided with a pasteboard bottom, with sides two or three inches high. The lid of a round, oblong box is used for this foundation. It is covered with the silk. A strip of silk ten inches wide forms the bag; one edge is sewed to ```markdown ``` the bottom around which the silk fits smoothly. The upper edge is gathered on an elastic cord run in a casing in the hem. Silver cord provides hangers and the bag is fumished with an ornament made of it at each side and a bit of silver braid outlining the support at the bottom. This is a convenience that any man will appreciate. The fine art of Japan puts even the least expensive of Japanese fans in a class by themselves. If one must look for gifts which have an artistic value to make them attractive, and at the same time may be had at a small price, the products of the Jap- anese are more likely than any others to meet the requirements of fine taste. Here is a little group of fans which illustrate this fact. A fan with white enamel sticks, finished out with gold, has a shaded ground in clear, beautiful blue, merging with white. Carved sandal wood makes a fan for a lifetime, which depends for ornamentation upon the way in which the sticks are cut out in a lace pattern. They are held together by a narrow ribbon. The faint and delicious odor of the wood makes this a fan to treasure. Nothing but a satin-like paper and brown wood sticks form the ground upon which some artist has distinguished himself in the last fan. Such fans may be found ranging in price from about 50 cents to $2. When it comes to selecting things for men two facts should be borne in mind. Men appreciate whatever adds to their personal comfort and they are attracted by things that are convent ent and useful rather than by mere prettiness. Here are pictured a few of the many attractive things, made of cretonne, which will be appreciated by the men folks. The closet bag shown in the picture is made of cretonne having a white ground with red roses and green foliage. White tape serves to bind the edges and fasten the compartments to the back. A yard of cretonne is required for it. It is fourteen inches wide and the remainder of the yard will make the compartments with enough left over to cover a pin cush- ```markdown ``` ion or make one of the other small pieces. The waste paper basket is made by pasting cretonne to a heavy pasteboard foundation and the lining may be of cambric or paper. Four sides are cut out and covered with cretonne. The lining is pasted over in one piece, holding the sides together. Or the pieces may be covered separately and afterward tied together with narrow ribbon. The small box for handkerchiefs or ties is made by pasting cretonne over a strong pasteboard box. The top is padded with a sheet of cotton wadding. A set of three boxes for ties, gloves, handkerchiefs, with a larger one for shoes, makes an elegant present where one wishes to give so much. But one single box will be appreciated. The travelling case is cut from rubber cloth first and compartments are MAR sewed to it for the wash-rag and soap, tooth and nail brush. White tape is used to bind the several pieces. The case is then covered with cretonne bound to the rubber cloth with tape machine-stitched over the edges. This convenient case fastens with a snug fastener such as is used on gloves.

Now, perhaps, you see why we have adopted militant meas- ures. We have made ourselves felt and have forced thought and action for our cause. “McKenna, my young friend, 1s the chief torturer of England. He is a narrow-minded, ignorant, pig-headed person.

Moreover, she did not look as though she grieved one bit over the exactions of these sons and daugh- ters that had made her “music rusty.” ‘A slighty, dark-haired woman is the wife of the Costa Rican minister.

Prevailing Styles in the New Shoes. 1 EVERY season finds women more exacting in the matter of footwear. Shoes and stockings must be faultless for the well dressed and up-to-date member of modern society, whether she be a devotee of fashion, or engaged in business or simply devoting her time to the business of being a woman. The styles now prevailing and those just preceding them have brought the fact into prominence. It is not the fashion to conceal them, but to clothe them daintily and set the fimsiest of draperies about them. Lace and chiffon petticoat, slashed skirts and in-hanging draperies all bespeak attention to fine footwear. For general wear a neat looking, inconspicuous shoe all of leather, or of leather and cloth, should be chosen. Perfect fit and neat finish are the matters of importance for shoes to be worn for shopping, traveling and general utility. Two pairs are more economical than one, if such shoes are worn every day, and one should alternate them. They are easily kept in commission in this way. One pair dressed and on the shoe tree stands always in readiness. Properly cleaned and aired and polished, they will pay for the attention with long service. For dressier wear in the winter there is the shoe with patent calf vamp and brocaded silk top in black. This is an elegant shoe with any visiting or dinner gown except the most brilliant of opera or ball gowns. The same vamp with plain black cloth top puts the shoe in another class where COIFFURE AND HAIR ORNAMENT MOST EFFECTIVE THE very attractive and becoming coiffure pictured here belongs to the class described as the "Casque" coiffure. All the hair is waved and combed to the nape of the neck and the crown of the head at the back. There is the shallowest of parts at the front with the hair at each side brought down over the ears, wholly concealing them. To make this hairdress the hair must be parted off all around the crown of the head, and waved. That which is left on the crown is to be laid in a flat coll at the back and pinned down securely. All the remainder (except the lock left at the middle of the forehead) is to be drawn loosely A back to the coil and over it. The hair at the nape of the neck is first brought up and the ends tucked under the coil or pinned around it. The ends of the front and side hair are then disposed of in the same way. Then the lock at the middle of the forehead is parted and brought down at each side over the ears to the nape of the neck. The ends (the lock being light) are tucked under the waved hair covering the coil and pinned into place with invisible pins. A light fringe of hair curled in flat, short ringlets, is cut across the forehead in a line more or less curved or straight, as best becomes the wearer. These ringlets must be flattened to the head to preserve the correct lines in this coiffure. This may be done by tying them down with a light veil for a few minutes. it is appropriate for the demi-toilet or the tailor-made. Elegant and more showy shoes are shown with patent vamp and gray buckskin top, and others with patent vamp and tops in shepherd check or in cloth or suede leather matching a gown in color. These made-to-match shoes are effective, but not essential to a proper shoe outfitting for the average woman. For evening dress there is a variety in slippers to choose from. Black satin with a French heel is a great favorite. The range of ornamentation for the toes of evening slippers is quite wide also. In black or bronze there is the strapped slipper with bead embroidery. It is a graceful shoe and a fine choice for those who need only one pair of slippers with which to look the season's full dress occasions in the face. It is dressy enough for any wear. The price of good shoes has advanced because the materials of which they are made cost more than they have heretofore. There is no economy in buying cheap shoes. The expenditure at the end of a year will be greater if one keeps the feet respectably clothed, if cheap shoes are bought than if the better grades are worn. If one must economize let it be in some other direction and not in the matter of footwear. Quality cannot be sacrificed here without of a certainty involving both economy and comfort in the end. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. The coiffure is finished with an ornamented band and single, curling spray of Paradise. The band in this costume is made of flat jade beads matching those worn with the costume about the neck. But there are innumerable bands, those of black gauze or velvet and rhinestones being among the most effective. The costume worn by the handsome brunette is of black velvet and silver embroidered net, with a skirt which appears to wrap about the figure, terminating in a high waist line. The rather scanty bodice is made of white chiffon. With a drapery of gossamer lace it would be much prettier and more in keeping with American ideas of modesty, which criticism is made without apologies to the great designer, who, with such wonderful fabrics to work with, yet missed the final finishing touch by placing a glorious skirt with an insignificant waist on so splendid a model. The coiffure suits the style of the wearer and her costume. It is one of those that almost any one will find becoming, except women with very thin faces and necks. For them there are other designs which soften or conceal their defects. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Slashed Petticoat. We have had the "tango" gown; now has descended upon us the "tango" petticoat. This latest addition to the wardrobe of the fashionable woman is made of but two pieces, with seams in the side, which, needless to say, are open to a point just above the knee. The front and back breadths of the petticoat are scalloped, sloping gradually up to the joining of the seams at the knee. The garment in this instance is edged with a plaited ruffle of the silk of which the skirt is made, but lace of almost any kind would be nearly as effective. To regulate the height of the skirt slashes on each side of the openings there have been sewn crocheted rings, through which a lacing of ribbon is passed. All Shades of Gray Gray in all possible shades is one of the colors of the season. Pearl gray is being most successfully combined with white velvet and ermine for really rich tea gowns; and a deep shade of smoke gray is being very much used for mantles in conjunction with bands of smoke gray fox. All shades of rich blue are in demand in such materials as velours de laine and liberty cashmere. Costumes in these materials are trimmed with bands of sable or of black fox, and the craze of the moment seems to be for Chinese embroideries of the finest description PHONE MAIN 6123—Day or Night RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992.
