Colorado Statesman

PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY AN OPEN LETTER ON SEGREGATION VOL. XX. AN OPEN LETTER SEGRE TO THE EDITOR OF THE COLORADO STATESMAN. Dear Sir: I learn that a committee waited upon the management of the Paris Theatre, and requested the removing of their sign, which was a stigma to our race, not only our race, but to the better class of white citizens as well, for I believe that this is the first time in the history of our beautiful city that segregation has been so boldly flaunted in our faces. So well so good. I will admit that their intentions were well founded, they, and not only they, have a grievance against such tactics being adopted by other amusement houses in this city. But to be tax payers and voters, and to allow a committee composed of a mere half dozen members to surrender our rights as citizens to a prejudiced manager of one playhouse is absurd. Negroes everywhere are fighting segregation, and don't let Denver Negroes get behind the vaquard. This committee promised this manager I learn, to have every preacher, also our press to warn Negroes to stay away from his house, that was what he wanted, and under those conditions the sign was taken down. Very true we have undesirables in our race the same as any other race, but it seems that our entire race must be maligned for sins committed by these undesirables, and it remains for citizens who are not afraid to combat these malfactors and notoriety seekers, surrendering the civil and political rights of our race for the sake of a few undesirable members. Why not form a vigilance committee and go into every public place in Denver and ask the management to make known the traducers of a race, that's struggling to reach the summit of commercial and political success. After hearing of the concessions granted the manager of the Paris Theatre for his removal of his sign, which placed a stigma on all of us as a race, and being a great reader of race journals published throughout the country, and reading an editorial in the Indianapolis Ledger, touching on the same case in that city, hence I am seeking the columns of your valuable paper to combat any effect that the actions of that committee may have on any member of my race. The slogan of the Negro from Maine to California should be "Down with segregation." The case I refer to in Indianapolis is one where one colored woman by her actions in a local playhouse made the management place the ban on the entire Negro population of that city. Did the law abiding citizens of Indianapolis surrender their rights as citizens to adjust the matter? No, a committee of investigation found out the facts and showed this lady of color up in her true light. This Mr. Editor is the only way that we can remedy this growing evil, for its spreading its giant paws like the octopus to destroy us, not individually but as a race. We must show to the white race the spirit, not of vindictiveness, but of cooperation, in showing up these vandals, who do not tend to uplift us, but only to destroy us. Denver is not the only city suffering with color prejudice as it was started in the National Capitol under the present administration. Now Mr. Editor I thank you for your space and hope that you give this letter publication, and as the editors of the Indianapolis Ledger and the New York Age your name will be immortalized for showing up the traducers of their race in our beloved City of Denver. A SUBSCRIBER ROAD ABOLISHES 'JIM CROW' POLICY ROAD ABOLISHES 'JIM CROW' POLICY Jersey City, Jan. 14.—The policy of "Jim Crowing" colored patrons in the restaurant of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, this city, has been discontinued. An order was issued from the New York offices by Vice President Besler last Friday, instructing the manager of the restaurant to permit Negroes to sit wherever they desired in the future. This change of sentiment is a big victory for the Committee of One hundred, an organization composed of prominent Negroes in this city. It was mainly through the efforts of the committee that the Central Railroad of New Jersey issued the order abolishing the "Jim Crowing" of colored people in its Jersey City restaurant. So numerous have been the com DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, JANUARY 24. 1914 State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House GIANTS WHO ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO plaints made of late by Negroes against the unfriendly attitude of the management of the Jersey City restaurant that the Committee of One Hundred decided to take up the matter and wage an active fight for better accommodations. It was learned that ten years ago a manager by the name of Block first inaugurated the policy of setting colored people off to themselves, and that this plan to insult Negroes had been faithfully observed ever since. Last Thursday afternoon a committee, called to see Vice President Besler was out, but his assistant, Mr. Dickerson, listened to the committee's protest, and for an hour the "Jim Crowing" of Negroes in the road's restaurant at Jersey City was discussed. The members of the committee were informed that no official order had been made to segregate the colored patrons of the road, but that the manager of the restaurant had been allowed to use his own judgement with respect to the seating of colored people. Mr. Dickerson said that there had been a great deal of trouble in recent years over the treatment of colored people, and declared the matter might just as well be taken up and settled for all time. The members of the committee were thanked for bringing up the discrimination charge before the proper authorities, and Mr. Dickerson promised to take up the case in detail with Vice President Besler. REV. J. JONES SLAY CEMETERY COLOR LINE FRED M. FARWELL DODGING EQUAL RIGHTS BILL By Refusing Colored Citizens Who Helped to Found Oakwoods Cemetery Many Years Ago the Use of Chapel, Vaults and Crematory. When Dr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones writes the world listens. He speaks with reason and authority. Being a student of human nature, well educated, trained in sociology, broad and liberal on the rights of man, he always hews to the line when he discusses the race question. How deep underground does the color line reach? This perplexing color question has always been a bugaboo to him and all sensible people. Dr. Jones was stirred to the limit when he received a letter a few days ago from the Oakwoods cemetery. The pastor of All Souls' Church and head of the Abraham Lincoln Center went to his study and pronounced a question to officials of the "Jim Crow" burying ground that will cause them all to sit up and take notice. In the letter was a folder mailed to him front the offices of the cemetery and contained a recital of its advantages as a place of last rest for Chicagoans. The shocking part—the sentence that aroused the distinguished thinker and writer—was that the association did not desire among its patrons those whose skins were other than white. The officers of the Oakwoods cemetery are Christian—no, they can't be men who believe in the Christ and baptized in the spirit, expecting to enter the gates of paradise by carrying their prejudices down in mother earth Dr Jenkin Lloyd Jones, who is at the head of Lincoln Center, named from the greatest benefactor since the birth of Christ, could and would not stand for such insults to reason and manhood rights, immediately dispatched them a letter. A communication was sent that they will long remember. A copy of the same has been sent to each director by The Defender. The letter to President Fred M Farwell follows: THE LETTER "Chicago, Jan. 7, 1914.—Mr. Fred M. Farwell, president Oakwoods Cemetery Association. Dear Sir:—Your very attractive announcement of the cemetery, with pretty pictures, duly received, for which accept my thanks. It is a beautiful place and the sadness of many visits has often been ameliorated by its beauty. But I was astounded and pained beyond telling by reading this sentence in your announcement: "Chapel, vaults and crematory are for the exclusive use of people of the Caucasian race." "Heaven save the mark! Can class prejudice and racial conceit go father? Pray, how deep underground does the color line reach? Is it to be presumed that St. Peter has also provided for the convenience of the 'Caucasians' a rear gate entrance into kingdom come for the benefit of the colored people? "Seriously, I am pained at the manifestation of what seems to me an insult to the Christianity we profess and the trust in God and belief in brotherhood that is inscribed or implied in a thousand monuments within your inclosure. Am I to understand that Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, the Hindu poet who has just received the Nobel prize for pre eminent achievement in letters, were they to be presented at your gates would be denied the final courtesies which belong to the humblest and most despised and wickedest of the reac?

Chicago, Ill., Jan. 13.—Seven thousand Pullman sleeping car porters will be benefited by the mine. Your ground is sacred as the resting place of hundreds of men and women who bravely and willingly died for the establishment of the brotherhood that crossed lines and the sanctities of the human soul, whether incased in skins black, white, yellow or half tints.

New York, Jan. 17 — Race prejudice and its eradication were the topics discussed at the second of the season's Saturday luncheons of the Republican party here. Discrimination against the Jew, Japanese, Chinese and Negro was taken up respectively by the Rev. Dr. Samuel Schulman, rabbi of Temple Bethel; Dr. Toyokichi Inenago, professor of history in the University of Chicago; Prof. H. C. Moi, secretary of the China Society of America, and Butler R. Wilson of Boston. Dr. Schulman said that race prejudice was contrary to all ideals of American democracy; that this country should consider the question of race no more than that of creed. "If you are going to defeat race prejudice," he said, "then fight this barring of Jews, the most shocking manifestation of it that we have about us." Race prejudice is more pronounced among Americans than among Europeans, according to Dr. Iyenga. He said, however, that this was natural, owing to the experiences they had had. The Japanese race, he affirmed in every respect the equal of the white. CONDENSATION OF FRESH NEWS THE LATEST IMPORTANT DIS PATCHES PUT INTO SHORT, CRISP PARAGRAPHS.

Commercial Executives Want Immigration Board, With Strong Man at Head, to Advertise Advantages of Colorado. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Colorado Springs.—Urgging that the Board of Immigration be reorganized and that the governor "appoint three active men with a commissioner big enough to command the respect of the whole state." the Colorado Association of Commercial Executives went on record for many reforms, adopting resolutions covering a wide range and transacting routine business that made the one day's session a record breaker for the amount of work accomplished. Governor Ammons is urged by the executives to appoint a non-partisan commission of five representative men to collect and place an exhibit worth at least $100,000 at the Panama exposition in California. It is stipulated that of this fund $50,000 shall be cash pledges and in the hands of the commission before the commission assumes any financial obligations. In addition, the governor is urged to get through legislation appropriating sufficient money to cover the cost of transportation and placing of the exhibit. It is figured that $50,000 will be required to do this. Commenting upon the reorganization of the Board of Immigration, the resolutions recommend that in the event the present finances of the state will not permit of the employment of a commissioner, that money be raised to provide for such a man, "in order that the Board of Immigration may effectively co-operate with this commission and be in a position to intelligently present the possibilities of Colorado to the investing public that may visit our state during 1915."

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS "How many people in Atlanta," asks the Constitution of that city, "know to a certainty that their domestic servants do not come from diseased homes?" And in the discussion it puts forth these pertinent truths: "The business of safeguarding the health of the community, in its negro as well as its white sections, is that of self-preservation and not sentiment or philanthropy. The disease germ is the original democrat. It ignores the boundary line of race, of wealth and of station, as well as of mere geography. It knows no prejudices, inherited or acquired. It is murderously impartial in its depredations. You may not believe you are 'your brother's keeper,' and you may be a trifle cynical about your 'duty,' to the negro. But you can hardly be negligent about your duty to your own child, and your own health personally, and keep a clean conscience." The Post for years has been stressing the importance of this very question for all southern cities. It has repeatedly urged upon the people of Houston that they cannot afford, even from the selfish point of view, to ignore the living conditions of the negro population. The negroes are the domestic servants of the servant-employing class of the southern cities. The negroes are a part of the life of the south, and will always be, and even if the white who employ them are not concerned in philanthropy at all, they owe it to themselves to have a deep concern for everything affecting the health and morals of the negro people. The nobler part is, of course, to realize in a broad and sympathetic sense our obligation to aid the negroes to better standards of living, because they are in so many respects dependent upon the whites and because they so implicitly rely upon the whites. It will be to our everlasting honor and glory if history shall be able to say of us that we accepted the problems the war left us, and worked them out kindly, intelligently and well, but if we are concerned only for our own welfare, then it will be secondary philanthropy for us to see that living conditions among the negroes are such that they will not menace the health and prosperity of the white people. Negroes living amid insanitary conditions in southern cities are going to suffer the hardships of poverty and disease, they are going to suffer contamination and destruction in a moral sense, they are going to be a heavily consuming and inefficient element of populatoin. But the whites will not be able to escape the consequences. They will have to bear the economic losses that a large and inefficient mass is certain to inflict, they will be victimized by the diseases that spread death and disaster among poorly housed and miserably environed human beings, and they will not escape the deadly blight of the immorality and vice that thrive among the ignorant, the desperate and the neglected poor. The vital statistics of every southern city reveal the inevitable consequence of inefficiency to conditions among the negroes—the servant class that brings into well-kept homes the deadly germs that multiply amid the miserable conditions that afflict the negro sections of so many southern cities.—Houston (Tex.) Post. Golf enthusiasts in Massachusetts yearly spend about $800,000 on the game. The 300 striking nego students of Shaw university at Raleigh, N. C., forwarded a memorial to the trustees of the institution in New York asking that Dr. Charles Meserve, president of the institution, be removed and a negro be put in his place. President Meserve, backed by southern white members of the faculty, issued an ultimatum ordering all rebellious students to resume their places at once, under penalty of expulsion. During the holiday a student married, against the college rules, and was dismissed. The boys asked to be heard through a committee. Dr. Meserve refused to receive the committee, but agreed to hear any individual. The strike resulted.

Although Belgium has reduced the working day of its coal miners to nine hours, the enforcement of the law has not apparently affected the production.

For the first time since 1905, a colored boy is among the senior officers at Harvard. Alexander Louis Jackson of Englewood, N. J., was chosen class orator at the 1914 election a few days ago, and will write and deliver the oration, which is one of the principal parts of the exercises in Sanders theater on the morning of class day. Jackson has been a member of the varsity track teams for two seasons. He is one of the best hurdlers now in the eastern colleges, particularly good over the high hurdles, but fast in both events, and has won many points for the Crimson teams in various meets. He has not been particularly prominent in other ways during his college course. He has won good grades, though he is not in the honor class. At Andover he won several prizes in public speaking, but at Harvard he has been so much occupied with other affairs that he has not tried for the prizes in speaking, though he has taken some of the courses offered. He is preparing for a teaching position in some one of the negro schools of the south. It is not the first time that a negro has been honored by election to such office at Harvard. The last time was with the class of 1905, when William Clarence Matthews, a clever baseball player, was chosen a member of the class day committee. In the years before that, the election of negro orators was quite frequent with the college classes. William H. Lewis, who has since served as assistant attorney general of the United States, was a commencement speaker on his graduation from the law school in 1895. He was not a graduate of Harvard college, but had his college education at Amherst, where he was graduated in 1892. There are in the southern states 9,000,000 negroes, writes Booker T. Washington. There are 3,000,000 negro children of school age. Fifty-three per cent., or more than half, never go to school. Many of these negro children, particularly in the country district, are in school only from three to four months in the year. I am trying to get the white people to see that, both from an economic point of view and as a matter of justice and fair play, these conditions must be changed. I am trying to get the white people to see that sending ignorant negroes to jails and penitentiaries, putting them in the chain gang, hanging and lynching them does not civilize, but on the contrary, though it brutalizes the negro, if at the same time blunts and dulls the conscience of the white man. I want the white people to see that it is unfair to expect a black man who goes to school only three months in the year to produce as much on the farm as a white man who has been in school eight or nine months in the year; that it is unjust to let the negro remail ignorant, with nothing between him and the temptation to fill his body with whisky and cocaline, and then expect him, in his ignorance, to be able to know the law and be able to exercise that degree of self-control which shall enable him to keep it. I am trying to get the white people to realize that since no color line is drawn in the punishment for crime, no color line should be drawn in the preparation of life, in the kind of education, in other words, that makes for useful, clean living. The men who don't go to jail are either too good, or too rich. So far as the south is concerned the problem is in process of wholesome an certain solution. The future of the negro has never seemed so promising and bright. As a laborer, citizen and a man the negro, under this bright and beneficent policy, has advanced and is advancing day by day. There are no greater people in the history of nations than the people of the south. And in view of the history of the Civil war and of the reconstruction period that followed, the southern people have never been greater and wiser than in their present splendid attitude toward their former slaves.—Chicago American. Colored babies are often regarded as "cuter," if anything, than white babies. A newspaper for negroes, The Crisis, notes the fact*that at a recent baby show held in Fall River, the first prize was won by a one-year-old colored baby, the only colored entrant in the contest. Fuel oil consumption by the United States navy this year is estimated at 30,000,000 gallons.

SHOWS BIG WASTE Important Fertilizing Material Is Thrown Away. Only 25 Per Cent. of Country Tankage is Available, and Lost Products in the Distillation of Coal Amount to Millions. Washington.—Seventy-five per cent. of a highly valuable fertilizing material in the form of tankage and blood from the country slaughter of food animals is being wasted throughout the country districts. In addition $22,000,000 worth of ammonia from which ammonium sulphate, another valuable fertilizing material could be made, is annually wasted by the practice of making coke in the beehive type of oven, according to a recent bulletin of the department of agriculture. Tankage, a product of slaughterhouses consisting of such waste material as bones, horns, hoofs, hair, etc., contains a large percentage of nitrogen and other products used in commercial fertilizer and in the larger packing houses is carefully saved. In country killing, however, only 25 per cent. of the tankage and blood are saved for fertilizer. The nitrogen content of tankage is said to vary from 5 to 8 per cent. and its phosphoric acid content between 5 and 12 per cent. Dried blood is perhaps the richest in nitrogen of all the organic materials used in the fertilizing industries. Unadulterated blood when quite dry contains 14 per cent. of nitrogen, but as obtained on the market its content varies from 9 to 13 per cent. From the figures estimated by the bureau of animal industry, department of agriculture, as representing the total slaughter of cattle, calves, swine, and sheep in the United States, in 1912, it has been calculated that if all the materials rendered available by this slaughter had been saved and converted into tankage and dried blood, they would have produced 222,535 tons of tankage and 79,794 tons of dried blood. The introduction of a co-operative system among American farmers undoubtedly would result in an increased utilization of blood and tankage for fertilizing purposes. In Denmark country killing is being practiced on a co-operative basis in small country abattoirs, and the blood is carefully preserved. The loss of ammonium sulphate which compares favorably with sodium nitrate as a plant stimulant in the distillation of coal for the production of coke, is described in the bulletin as follows: "In the main, coal is distilled in this country in that form of coke oven, the beehive oven, which does not admit of the recovery of the distillation products. Instead, they are allowed to go to waste. So we are indebted to the by-product recovery oven for the main supply of ammonium sulphate. The amount recovered is valued at about $4,000,000, while the recoverable ammonia annually destroyed in the coking processes by the beehive ovens is valued at $22,000,000. At the beginning of 1912 there were 4,624 by-product coke ovens in operation in the United States and 698 building." The great product of Chile, sodium nitrate, possesses less nitrogen content (15.5 per cent.) than ammonium sulphate. The United States, however, imports a great quantity (in 1911, 70, 000 tons) for use in agriculture, owing to the deficient supply of other fertilizers in this county. This is only a small part of the total amount of sodium nitrate America imports yearly from Chile, as it has many other uses. The more intensive agriculture of recent years has emphasized the demand for nitrates, and the fact that the Chilean beds of nitrates have been surveyed and figures have been obtained which make possible a fairly close estimate of the amount of nitrate remaining there should stimulate the manufacture of nitrogenous substances suitable for fertilizer manufacture, and serve as a warning against undue waste. Artificial nitrates have become commercially important to supply the demand in this country, calcium cyanamide being perhaps the most nitrogenous material manufactured for fertilizer purposes. It is prepared from calcium carbide and free nitrogen, the latter being prepared from the atmosphere by the removal of oxygen. This industry is considered to be as yet only in its infancy, and with the increased capacity of existing factories and extensions now under way should prove an important factor in the present source of nitrogenous fertilizers. The relative values of the different fertilizers are brought out fully in this bulletin (No. 37) which can be had on application to the division of publications, United States department of agriculture, Washington, D. C. number 209,327 head, as compared with 72,420 for the corresponding period of 1912. All came from Canada and Mexico except 447 head of purebred cattle, for breeding purposes, imported from Great Britain. The imports were classified as follows: October—For immediate slaughter, 72,166; as stockers and feeders, 54,595; for dairy and breeding purposes, 739; total, 128,470. November—For immediate slaughter, 39,086; as stockers and feeders, 41,548; for dairy and breeding purposes, 223; total, 80,857. The bulk of the slaughter cattle came from Canada, while Mexico furnished over four-fifths of the stockers and feeders. Imported meats and meat-food products inspected during October amounted to 6,000,735 pounds, and in November to 11,792,575 pounds, making a total of 17,793,311 pounds for the two months. The bulk of this consisted of fresh and refrigerated beef, 16,082,578 pounds. There were 275,847 pounds of other fresh and refrigerated meats. The remainder consisted of cured and canned meats, 1,169,517 pounds, and other products (sausage, compound, and oleo stearin), 265,369 pounds. Of the total, Canada furnished 8,098,197 pounds, Argentine 6,209,700 pounds, Australia 2,725,142 pounds, Uruguay 559,843 pounds, and other countries much smaller quantities. Of these imports there were condemned in October 4,690 pounds and in November 14,123 pounds, or a total of 18,813 pounds. The secretary of agriculture has announced the appointment of the following committee To Investigate "to conduct a general inquiry into the various factors which have brought about the present unsatisfactory conditions with respect to meat production in the United States, especially in reference to beef, with a view to suggesting possible methods for improvement:" Dr. B. T. Galloway, assistant secretary of agriculture, chairman. Dr. H. J. Waters, president Kansas State Agricultural college. Prof. C. F. Curtiss, dean and director Iowa State college. Prof. H. W. Mumford, professor of animal husbandry, University of Illinois. Dr. A. D. Melvin, chief, bureau of animal industry, U. S. department of agriculture. Dr. T. N. Carver, director, rural organization service, U. S. department of agriculture. The work of the committee will be centered largely on the study of economic questions involved in the production, transportation, slaughter and marketing of meat. As the first step the committee will investigate carefully the changes within the last two or three decades which have increased cost of production, and the centralizing of the meat industry. Among the important considerations to be gone into will be the taking up of the public lands, the effect of the capacity of the range, especially on the remaining public lands and forest reserves, with a view to suggesting changes in the laws to make the public lands of greater use in cattle raising. The committee also will give special attention to the economic changes in meat production and distribution brought about through the centralizing of slaughtering and meat preparations in large packing establishments, and the changes in transportation and similar matters which have resulted from this centralization and other causes, the economic possibility of communal and community effort in cattle raising and the advantages of establishing local or municipal abattoirs will also be investigated. The committee will not deal specifically with questions of animal husbandry which has to do with the actual breeding of cattle, as this work will be left to the specialists in the department and state agricultural colleges in this field. The appointment of a committee will not interfere in any way with investigations now under way in any of the state agricultural colleges or experiment stations. The letter of appointment announces that the chairman within a short time will supply details regarding the scope of the investigation and the lines of work which the committee might take up. The imports of the 11 months ended with November were $1,609,000,000, and should the December imports equal those of November, the total for the full year would be $1,756,000,000. The exports of the 11 months ended with November were $2,251,000,000, and should the December exports equal those of November, the total would be $2,479,000,000. This estimate would make the excess of exports over imports approximately $740,000,000. The figures of exports and of excess of exports over imports will exceed those of any earlier year. The largest export of any preceding calendar year was that of 1912, which showed a total of $2,399,217,993; and as the 11 months ended with November are $102,000,000 in excess of the corresponding period of the preceding year, the estimate of approximately $2,500,000,000 for 1913 seems to be justified. The excess of exports over imports in the 11 months ended with November was $642,000,000, and for the single month of November $97,000,000, thus apparently justifying the estimate of $740,000,000 excess of exports for the full year. In imports, the total for 1913 will be less than that of 1912 but larger than that of any year preceding 1912. This decline in imports in 1913 is due in part to reduction in prices of certain articles imported. While the quantity of sugar imported in the ter months ended with October exceeded that of the corresponding period of 1912 by 368,000,000 pounds, the value of this larger quantity imported during the 1913 period was $22,000,000 less than that of the corresponding period of 1912.

This is an era of discussion. The greatest era of discussion in the world's history. Every question of importance is brought into the limelight of discussion. Uppermost among the discussions going the rounds of the press today is the segregation of the Negro. The time has now fully come for the intelligent Negro to manfully meet the issue and to effectively rebut the current slander on the race being made by paid correspondents and professional paragraph writers. In order to wisely accomplish this The Colorado Statesman would suggest the organization and training of a club of intelligent and promising young men and women whose business it shall be to pay attention to articles in the public press and magazines concerning the race and reply to them in an intelligent and effective way. Unless this is done, sentiment will be crystallized against the Negro to such an extent that it will be hard to overcome. These articles can be sent to many different papers and a place be found for them in the magazines, besides they will afford opportunity for training of our young people in defense of the race. The Negro has not yet learned to effectively contend for his rights in the avenues that make his contention heard and felt.

Segregation, the bacilli that is sapping the vitality of a struggling race, started at the National capitol under the present Democratic administration and re-echoed from every hamlet throughout the length and breadth of the land, has at last found a resting place in Denver by the actions of a committee agreeing to a compromise with a prejudiced manager of a local theater. We, nor any member of the race, who has the uplift of the Negro at heart, cannot condone segregation and we wish to announce that we will be found fighting such evils at all times. It is indeed gratifying to know that others—other than the press—have taken up the fight against unfair treatment of the race, as is shown by a communication elsewhere in this paper. To win out against such evils, the Negroes of Denver as well as elsewhere must stand as a solid phalanx and confront the enemy. Co-operate with the white man, not only in business and politics, for the betterment of the community in which he lives, but with the better element of his race and forever eradicate these parasites who are pulling us down. The spokesman of the committee that waited on the manager of a local theater where a sign was posted, "No Colored Trade Wanted," told the manager that if he would remove the sign he would see to it that the pulpit and press would advise the Negroes to stay away from the theater, and it was only under these conditions that he removed the sign. We as a race should not allow our rights and privileges to be jeopardized by a tew, but should wake up to the fact that we must stand as a unit in fighting against such discriminations. Should every playhouse and park in Denver display such a sign as above quoted and a committee should act in all such cases as in the case of the one mentioned in this instance, the source of recreation and enjoyment of the Negroes of Denver would in a large measure be cut short. We should not imagine that we are in the South, but should seek to have stamped out every stigma that seeks to curtail our privileges.

It points out that he does not save his earnings; he is not careful to impress the world that he belongs to the highest type of man. The paper thus supports our theory that the highest duty of the race press and race pulpits at the present time is to make war upon the vices of the race. It should be plainly pointed out that, to a startling extent, our race is abusing the liberties which it already possesses. We sincerely believe that if all of the serious-minded and therefore really deserving Negroes of Colorado (and there are many such), would make up their minds, as an essential to self-preservation and race salvation, to mercilessly condemn and constantly oppose the wanton vice and general unworthiness inherent in all of our conduct, there would be a vast improvement in the race in the next year. We have many good traits and some Negroes are doing exceptionally well, but it is the general condition to which the newspapers are calling attention. The white man is making war upon the Negro in many insidious ways, and in some instances we are losing ground, because we are unable and unfit to hold it. As the newspaper points out, it is not sufficient ground for total discouragement, that we are being deprived of guarantee rights, for this is a world in which men and races are compelled to deserve and defend what they possess and hope to enjoy. The Negro who stops for a moment to contemplate the vast amount of earnest and determined energy which the white man is expending in Colorado to advance his standing and maintain his supremacy individually and nationally, will practically realize that the Negro has got to wake up or practically get out of Denver. The white man is not going to carry the Negro up with him. There are no indications that he takes any such charitable view of what he calls the "white man's burden." The Negro has got to "get up and hump," swim or sink. We are living too easy. We are not serious enough. Our play hours are too long, our business hours too short. We are too narrow in our vision and too wise in our ignorance. We have got to get down upon a more simple and therefore a more stable foundation. Money-saving and industrial activity, clannish support of race enterprises, honest business and stern determination to promote fairness, encourage virtue and to condemn and punish vice, depravity, profligacy and all the weak and unworthy characteristics which we have been covering up and tolerating are imperative duties whose neglect condemns us all. How are these principles to be instilled into the minds of the people? That is a serious question. We believe it depends upon those already of a sober turn of mind. The complaints of the press or of individual can do no good unless some action is aroused. The remedy does not lie in big, showy conventions, where men display their oratory and their poverty. It is a matter for communities to take up. The sober men and women who think of these things should get together and plan. Co-operation, not in a single business effort, but in the support of enterprises already established or to be started, would be a thing worthy of long discussion and earnest trial. Educate and elevate the social and business ideas of the people, and lead and teach them by the most practical and worthy of examples. GETTING HIS REVENGE By ALICE KILLIAN. "Every time," the riding master was muttering, savagely, "every single time I'm away from this academy for a few days things go wrong." The immediate cause of his anger was a heap of grayish garments on the table in his office. He inspected each article carefully, and then tossed it wrathful in some corner of the room, until the room took on the appearance of a windstruck clothing shop. Finally he could contain himself no longer. "Hey, Jim!" he shouted. "Jim!" Grasping one of the objects of his rage in a gingerly fashion between thumb and finger, he held it up scornfully to the gaze of his assistant when the latter appeared in response to the call. With exaggerated patience he asked: "Jim, what in the name of wonder do you call this thing?" Jim glanced at it. He also noted the purple face of his employer and the devastation about him, but he answered in a matter of fact way: "Why, Mr. Leonard, that's one of the new riding outfits that Cuttum & Quick sent over while you were gone." "Truly," responded Leonard, with elaborate sarcasm. "I suppose I'll have to believe you, but I thought it was a couple of feed bags sewed together. Anyhow, take them all back to that taller shop and tell those fellows to put more material into them, ruffles or plaits—any improvement at all that may suit my fastidious taste. If they don't they can keep the lot." "They won't do anything to the things now," declared Jim. "I paid for them with the check you left." "Paid for them! You're mighty lavish with other people's money, aren't you?" "Well," answered Jim, sulkily, "the man said they were according to contract." "Oh! he did! And you believed him like a good little boy? Well, he's sly. But take them back and tell those tailors to fix them right." Jim followed instructions, but returned in due time with the message that the tailors said the garments had been made according to contract, and that the alterations would have to be paid for. Then for a week Jim carefully avoided the riding master. A cloud of dissatisfaction rested continually on the latter's face. When looking at the new riding skirts he was heard by Jim to mutter: "Oh. I'll get even yet—I've got to get even." Jim was uneasy. At last one day Leonard came up behind Jim and, clapping him joyfully on the shoulder, exclaimed: "Well, I did get even after all." Then at sight of Jim's face he laughed and said: "Oh, not with you. That is, not yet." "What do I know about riding clothes?" growled Jim in extenuation. "I'm no tailor." "You'll learn." Leonard rested one foot comfortably on 'the mounting block and tapped his boot with his riding crop. "There's more to a school like than just horses. Now, I'll tell you how I got even with Cuttum & Quick. "Last night Mrs. Leonard and I went to that tailor shop, ostensibly to order a riding habit. Cuttum was out but his partner officiated in full glory. He just spread himself showing patterns and materials." "But, madam," he said, 'we make riding habits for the best society people. Miss Dash has just ordered her third suit from us and Mrs. Blank is having us make habits for herself and her daughter. Just recently,' here he puffed himself up proudly, 'we filled a large order for the Leonard Riding academy.' "At that Mrs. Leonard gave a little shriek. 'Those awful things?' she cried. 'Why, the academy doesn't rent them to its patrons, nor does it even let us beginners go out of doors in them when we're having instruction.' She jumped up and said to me: 'Come, let's go somewhere else. Any tailor that would make such things as those dreadful misfits at Leonard's—she shuddered—isn't good enough.' "At the door I turned and said, sympathetically: 'I think, Mr. Quick, you'd better not tell any one else that you made those misfits. Evidently, they're no advertisement.' "His face at that moment wore an expression that more than pays for those skirts. So I got even, Mrs. Leonard helping." Fisherman's Paradise. Fish are so plentiful in Alaskan waters that they almost jump at you. The fishing grounds extend for over 2,000 miles along the coast and up all the rivers (one of which is at least 2,000 miles long), and all over the adjacent seas. A conservative estimate of the fish taken from Alaskan waters, not counting that used for native food and for dog food, places the total valuation at $185,000,000 since we bought Alaska for $7,200,000. In one year ten fishing vessels alone pulled in 7,708,000 pounds of the choicest kind of fish. If the ordinary American were asked to guess how many people are permanently engaged in the fishing business in Alaska, the answer would probably be—about 200. As a matter of fact there are 18,000 men pulling up salmon, halibut and herring and storing them away in cans and ice houses. That number of men can make a big hole in anybody's fish pond; if the looting by the fishermen goes on indefinitely, there will be nothing left except the water presently—Leslie's.

DEATH CLAIMS ONE OF DENVER'S LOYAL AND PROGRESSIVE RACE AND BUSINESS MEN. Mr. A. M. Lawhorn, the prominent undertaker and funeral director of 1925 Arapahoe street, died at his home Monday, January 19th, at 12:10 a. m. Mr. Lawhorn came to Denver from Detroit, Mich., in 1905. He engaged himself as clerk in Dr. Faulkner's drug store. In 1907 he established an undertaking business on 18th street, known as A. M. Lawhorn Undertaking Co., and now known as the Douglas Undertaking Co. Later in the year 1909 he opened a place for himself at 2540 Washington street at the expiration of-five months he removed to 1925 Arapahoe street. THE LATE A. M. LAWHORN.

To Lower Your Water Taxes Vote For Merchants' Plan Let Denver own and operate its water supply system. That's the object of the plan submitted to the voters by the retail merchants. To build a new system would cost many millions more than to buy the present system at a fair valuation. This fact is proved by the engineers' report of the Public Utilities Commission. The plan proposed by the retail merchants provides for the purchase by the city of the present water plant at a fair valuation. To operate a new system would cost more than to operate the present system, because the pipes of a new system would have to be laid deeper and "this increased depth would add materially to the cost of repairs, maintenance and operation." So says the engineers' report of the Utilities Commission. The greater first cost of building a new system and the greater cost of operating a new system would add materially to the burdens of the taxpayers. Purchase by the city of the present water plant will reduce the operating cost because of the saving in taxes and lower rate of interest on the bonds. This saving will be enough to make possible a 25% reduction in water taxes. If you want to lower your water taxes vote for the Retail Merchants' plan. F. S.

Wilson appeared before a joint ses- sion of both houses of congress and delivered the following message on trusts: “Gentlemen of the congress: “In my report ‘On the State of the Union,’ which I had the privilege of reading to you on the Ist of Decem- ber last, I ventured to reserve for discussion at a later date the subject of additional legislation regarding the very difficult and intricate matter of trusts and monopolies. ‘The time now seems opportune to turn to that great question; not only because the cur- rency legislation, which absorbed your attention and the attention of the country in December, is now disposed of, but also because opinion appears to be clearing about us with singular rapidity in this other great field of action. Business of Interpretation. “Legislation has its atmosphere like everything else and the atmosphere of accommodation and mutual under standing which we now breathe with 80 much refreshment is matter of sin- cere congratulation. It ought to make oi task very much less difficult and embarrassing than it would have been had we been obliged to continue to act amidst the atmosphere of suspi- cion and antagonism which has 50 long made it impossible to approach such questions with dispassionate fair- ness. Constructive legislation, when successful, is always the embodiment of convincing experience and of the mature public opinion which finally springs out of that experience. Leg: islation is a business of interpretation, not of origination; and it is now plain what the opinion is to which we must give effect in this matter. It is not re- cent or hasty opinion. “The great businessmen who organ ized and financed monopoly and those who administered” it in actual every day transactions have year after year, until now, either denied its existence or justified gt as necessary for the ef- fective maintenance and development of the vast business processes of the country in the modern. circumstances of trade and manufacture and finance: but all the while opinion has made headway against them, The average businessman is convinced that the ways of liberty are also the ways of peace and the ways of success as well; and at last the masters of busi- ness on the great scale have begun to yield their preference and purpose, perhaps their judgment also, in honor- able surrender. Will Not Hamper. “What we are purposing to do, there- fore, {8 happily not to hamper or in- terfere with business as enlightened business men prefer to do {t, or in any sense to put it under the ban. ‘The antagonism between business and gov- ernment is over. We are now about to give expression to the best business judgment of America, to what we Know to be the business conscience and honor of the land. The govern- ment and business men are ready to meet each other half way in a common effort to square business methods with both public opinion and the law. The best Informed men of the business world condemn the methods and processes and consequences of mo- nopoly as we condemn them; and the instinctive judgment of the vast majority of — business men everywhere goes with them, We shall now be their spokesman. “When serious contests ends, when men unite in opinion and purpose, those who are to change their ways of business, Joining with those who ask for the change, it 1s possible to effect ft in the way in which prudent and thoughtful and patriotic men would wish to see it brought about, with as few, as slight, as easy and simple busi- ness readjustments as possible in the circumstances, nothing essential dis- turbed, nothing torn up by the roots, no parts rent asunder . which can be left in wholesome combination. Bor- tunately, no measures of sweeping or novel change are necessary. It will be understood that our object is not to unsettle business or anywhere serious- ly to break its established courses athwart. On the contrary, we desire the laws we are now about to pass to be the bulwarks and safeguards of in- dustry against the forces that have disturbed it. What we have to do can be done in a new spirit, in thoughtful moderation, without revolution of an untoward kind. Private Monopoly Intolerable. “We are all agreed that private monopoly is indefensible and intoler- able, and our program {s founded upon that conviction. It will be a compre- hensive but not a radical or unaccept- able program, and there are its items, the changes which opinion deliberately sanctions and for which business waits, “It awaits with acquiescence in the Most Famous Eastern Mine. China’s famous iron mine, the ‘Tayeh, the foremost in the far east, is especially notable for the ease with which it is worked. It stands peer- fess in the world in this respect, ex: eayation requiring no mathine power. The work is done by hand by the Chinese coolies. The mine is reputed to be inexhaustible in its ore, In the days of the “three kingdoms” the locality formed a theater of bloody fighting, and the vicinity abounds in relics of that memorable period in mercial and public service bodies—as in effect resuit in making those who borrow and those who lend practically one and the same, those who sell and those who buy but the same persons trading with one another under dif- ferent names and in different combina- tions, and those who affect to com- pete, in fact, partners and masters of some whole field of business. —Suf- ficient time should be allowed, of course, in which to effect these changes of organization without {n- convenience or confusion. “Such a prohibition will work much more than a mere negative good by correcting the serious evils which have arisen because, for example, the men who have been the directing spirits of the great investment banks have usurped the place which be- longs to independent industrial man- agement working in its behoof. It will bring new men, new energies, a new spirit of initiative, mew blood into the management of our great business enterprises. Harm and Injustice Done. “In the second place, business men, as well as those who direct public af- entra now recognize and recognize | with painful clearness, the great harm and injustice which has been done to many, if not all, of the great railroad systems of the country by the way in which they have been financed and their own distinctive interests sub- ordinated to the interests of the men who financed them and of their busi- ness enterprises which these men wished to promite. “The country is ready therefore to liecont and accept with relief as well |a8 approval, a law which will confer | upon the interstate commerce com: mission the power to superintend and | regulate the financial operations by | which the railroads are henceforth to be supplied with money they need for their proper development to meet the rapidly growing requirements of the country for increased and im- proved facilities of transportation. We | cannot postpone action in this’ matter without leaving the railroads exposed to many serious handicaps and haz ards; and the prosperity of the rail- roads and the prosperity dt the coun- try are inseparably connected. Upon this question those who are chiefly responsible for the actual manage- ment and operation of the railroads have spoken very plainly and very earnestly, with a purpose we ought to be quick to accept. It will be one step, and a very important one, toward the necessary separation of the business of production from the business of transportation, | “The business of the country awaits also, has long waited and has suf fered because it could not obtain fur- | ther and more explicit legislative defl- | nition of the policy and meaning of the existing anti-trust laws, Nothing hampers business like uncertainty. Nothing daunts or discourages {t like the necessity to take chances, to run the risk of falling under the condem- nation of the law before ft can make sure just what the law is. Definition Now Possible. “Surely we are sufficiently familiar with the actual processes and methy ods of monoply and of the many hurtful restraints of trade to make definition possible, at any rate up to the limits of what experience has dis- closed. These practices, being now abundantly disclosed, can be explic- itly and item by item, forbidden by | statute in such terms as will prac- tically eliminate uncertainty, the law [itself and the penalty being made ) “And the business man of the country desire something more than that the menace of legal process in these matters be made explict and in- telligible. ‘They desire the advice, the definite guidance and information which can be supplied by an admin- istrative body, an interstate trade commission. “The opinion of the country would instantly approve of such a commis- sion. It would not wish to see it om- powered to make terms with monop- oly or in any sort to assume control of business, as if the government made iteslt responsible. It demands such a commission only as an Indis- pensible instrument of information and publicity, a8 a clearing house for the facts by which both the public mind and the managers of great busi- ness undertakings should be guided, as an instrumentality for for doing Justice to business where the process- es of the courts or the natural forces of correction outside the courts are inadequate to adjust the remedy to the wrong in a way that will meet all the equities and circumstances of the case. a Chinese history. It is about 3,630 Chinese miles from Peking overland, and about 4,980 Chinese miles by wa- ter. ‘Tayeh-Hsien is traversed by ranges of hills and mountains, the valleys of which abound in innumer- able lakes of all sizes, with water course facilities. Consequently the lo- cality is rich in scenery of great beauty and the Chinese poets from olden times have never tired of sing- ing of the “Eight Views" of Tayeh. In the nelghborhood of Tayeh iron mine are found the ruins of ancient dom of trade, cannot always be dis- sected into their component units as readily a8 railroad companies or sim- ilar organizations can be. Their dis- solution by ordinary legal process may oftentimes involve financial conse- quences likely to overwhelm the se- curity market and bring upon it break- down and confusion. There ought to be an administrative commission ca- pable of directing and shaping such corrective processes, not only in aid of the courts but also by independent suggestion, If necessary. , Make Punishment Certain. “Tnasmuch as our object and the spirit of our nation in these matters is to meet business half way in its processes of self-correction and dis- turb its legitimate course as little as possible, we ought to see to it, and the Judgment of practical and sagacious men of affairs everywhere would ap- plaud us it we did see to it that pen- alties and punishments should fall, not upon business itself, to its confu- sion and interruption, but upon the individuals who use the instrumental- ities of business to do things which public policy and sound business prae: tice condemn. Every act of business is done at the command or upon the initiative of some ascertainable per- son or group of persons. These should be held individually responsible and the punishment should fall upon them, not upon the business organization of which they make illegal use. It should be one of the main objects of our leg- islation to divest such persons of their corporate cloak and deal with them as with those who do not rep- resent their corporations, but merely by deliberate intention break the law. “Other questions remain which will need very thoughtful and practical treatment. Enterprises, in these mod- ern days of great individual fortunes, are oftentimes interlocked, not by being under the control of the same directors, but by the fact that the greater part of their corporate stock is owned by a single person or group of persons who are in some way in- timately related in interest. Holding Companies. “We are agreed, I take it, that hold- ing companies should be prohibited, but what of the controlling private ownership of individuals or actually co-operative groups of individuals? Shall the private owners of capital stock be suffered to be themselves in effect holding companies? We do not wish, I” suppose, to forbid the pur- chase of stocks by any person who pleases to buy them in such quanti- ties as he can afford, or in any way arbitrarily to limit the sale of stocks to bonafide purchasers. Shall we re- quire the owners of stock, when their voting power in several companies which ought to be independent of one another would constitute actual con- trol, to make selection in which of them they will exercise their right to vote? This question’I venture for your consideration. “There is another matter in which Imperative considerations of justice and fair play suggests thoughtful remedial action. Not only do many of the combinations effected or sought to be effected in the industrial world work an injustice upon the public in general; they also directly and serl- ously injure the individuals who aro put out of business in one fair way or another by the many dislodging and exterminating forces of combination. 1 hope that we shall agre in giving private individuals who claim to have been injured by these processes the right to found their suits for redress upon the facts and judgments proved and entered in suits by the govern- ment where the government has upon its own initiative sued the combina- tions complained of and won its suit, and that the statute of limitations shall be suffered to run against such litigants only from the date of the conclusion of the government's action. Individual Justice. “It Is not fair that the private ltl gant should be obliged to set up and establish again the facts which the government has proved. He cannot afford, he has not the power to make use of such processes of inquiry as the government has command of. Thus shall individual justice be done while the processes of business are rectifled and squared with the general conscience. “L have laid the case before you, no doubt as it Mes in your oWn mind, as it lies in the thought of the country.

Method of Preparation Has Much to Do With Its Appreciation When Put on the Table. | Sausage, considered by some as a ‘Plebelan edible, ranking with Irish ‘stew and corn beef and cabbage, and ‘not possible on the ultra-refined board, may really be made the basi8 of many delicious and even dainty luncheon dishes. Sausage sliced and delicately fried in its own grease, drained and then browned crisply, and served with tiny little’ buckwheat cakes four inches across, will make a delightful luncheon on a cold winter day. Sausage smothered in potato is an- other luncheon dainty, which even the most cultured need not disdain. Parboil some very small link sau- sage five minutes. Bake a number of medium sized potatoes, and when done cut in half and remove the mealy pulp, mashing it well and add- ing butter and a little cream or milk, as well as some salt and pepper. Fill the potato skins with this mixture, leaving a depression in the center of each. Lay in the parbolied sausages and brown well in the oven for a few minutes.

They were part of the members of the Pennsylvania s80- siety who had come from Cambrian county to attend the dinner, and were being entertained by Mr. Schwab. ‘They are all successful men now, sev- eral of them being judges, others mer- chants and wealthy business men. Mr. Schwab showed he was happy to see them. He was glad to wel- come in his home, with its costly paintings and its exquisite decora- tions, the friends of what almost might we termed “the barefoot days.” That Mr, Schwab remembered these days was shown by his manner when he proposed the toast. He quickly changed the subject, and with his characteristically happy way he said: “But thi place is just a copy of the old place in Loretto.” Mrs. Schwab and he welcomed the guests. Mr. Schwab had not forgotten a single name, nor even a “nickname,” but, of course, he had to be introduced to some of the wives of the old friends. ‘ Mr. Schwab showed his guests his ‘art room, where he has gathered, as far as he could, the best painting of the artists that he admired. To the wondering question of a visitor he said that the paintings were insured for $3,000,000. Then the visitors wandere. about the house under the guidance of Mr, Schwab, and listened to music from the pipe organ. “Oh, I live here for a few minutes of the year,” he said laughingly to one friend. > Mr, Schwab's father and mother also were present and they saw again friends who live in Ebensburg, Lor etto and Johnstown. sweet and womanly as she looks. Her generosity is the despair of her sec- retary, as, entirely regardless of the state of her balance, she insists on giv- ing handsomely to any suddenly aris- {ng case of public charity. This is especially resented by the queen, who has to go one better or else not contribute at all, and she has done the latter more than once. Since the dowager empress of Rus- sia has come to share Sandringham with her, Queen Alexandra’s expenses have been greatly reduced, and con- sequently this year she gave hand- somer Christmas presents than ever. Queen Mary's frugality, on the oth- er hand, is displayed at this season.

Borden Harriman, who has so suddenly and brilliantly stepped into a leading place in the modern sociological movement in New York, has a rather caustic wit. At a luncheon at the Colony club Mrs. Harriman was asked one day if a certain family was really smart— “smart” being used in the sense of “fashionable.” “Oh, yes,” said Mrs. Harriman, “they're very, very smari, indeed. They've got eight houses, thirty-five servants, twenty-nine horses, eleven motor cars, and one child!” Lavender. Lavender comes from the Italian word lavanda, a washing.

COLORADO CAN SUPPLY WORLD FIVE TIMES OVER, SAYS J. M. FLANNERY. ‘Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—Vigorous opposition to the proposal to withdraw radium land from entry was made before the House mines committee by Thomas R. Hen- ahen, state mining commissioner of Colorado, who deciared such action would ruin the radium mining indus- ty. “All we want is to be let alone,” he declared. “We are getting out the radium, If you tie up these lands, prospectors will not go into them. As it is, 99 out of 100 prospectors fail. What they need is encouragement, not discouragement, if the radium is to be mined.” Joseph M. Flannery, president of the Standard Chemical Company, of Pittsburg, said his company had spent in three years $650,000 to produce two grams of radium, The gram cost $480,- 000 to produce, he estimated, and brought in $240,000. In April, he said, the company would be producing one gram a month. “There is enough radium ore in Colorado to supply the world fiye times over,” said Flannery. “Only two hundred grams are needed for the whole United States. I will undertake to deliver to the government in five years from Jan, 1, 1915, two hundred grams of radium at a maximum price of $80,000 a gram.” Flannery told the committee he had a friend “philanthropically inclined,” whose name he declined to give, who was considering spending $15,000,000 in building twenty radium hospitals in sections of the country where they would serve sixty-six per cent of the population.

SHOWS THAT TYPHOID FEVER IS DECREASING. State Board Commends Roller Towel Law and State Tuberculosis Statutes. ‘Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver—A remarkable reduction in the number of typhoid fever cases in Colorado in 1913 over the previous year is shown by the annual report of the State Board of Health submitted to Governor Ammons, There were 182 Jess cases in the state last year than in 1912. and a decrease of 2,296 cases in 1913 over the previous three years together. Colorado now shows less ty- phoid in a whole year than it did every three months of previous years. It is believed these results were at- tained by the effective campaign waged the iast few years against the deadly housefly and the strict watch which has been kept over the possible contamination of the drinking waters of the state, The report mentions the success and benefits derived from the new tu- bereulosis 1uw requiring that every ease be reported so that possible in- fection may be guarded against. The Denver city ordinance prohibiting the use of the unsanitary roller towel is commended. It is stated in the report that 2,500 children die annually in Colorado be- fore they are 2 years of age and that 50 per cent. of them could be saved by sanitary surroundings and careful at- tention. ‘Phe course of the board has been, it is said, prevention rather than eradi- cation, to enlighten the people of the dangers of infection from disease and the meaus of preventing it. The board, acording to the report has been handicapped by insufficient appropriation, but much money has been saved tho state. Dr. Paull S. Hunter, secretary of the board, says that $10,000 less was expended last year by the board than during the pre- vious year. In spite of the indorsement of the fight against the roller towel by the board of health, however, the roller towel is in general use in the state capitol except in the office of the board of health itself.

It is a tribute to the officers and members of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association, of Denver, Colorado, that in a city noted the world over for its hospitality, it has been accorded first honors as a place of social amusement and relaxation. Colorado is the Switzerland of America. Its snow-clad hills and verdant valleys, its charming resorts, its rugged beauty are famous the world over. Denver, its capital, is one of the most beautiful cities in America. Matchless in climate, situated where first the eternal snowy hills rear their snowy tops to the heavens, it has long been the mecca of visitors. Its people have been well trained in hospitality, and of that training the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association is the highest expression. In offering to the public this set of interior views of its home, the Board of Directors of the Association have only one regret, that they cannot reproduce in black and white the cordial good fellowship that exists among the members, and the hearty welcome which is accorded visitors. The limitations of the camera are understood, so that they will convey an idea of the building and accommodations, but words cannot take the place of the handshake, the smile and friendly greeting. Therefore the Association extends to all men of good character a cordial invitation to visit the Association quarters while in Denver, and assures them that their inspection is no intrusion, but, on the other hand, will give it an opportunity for doing for them the duty which Denver lays upon its citizens. It is the spirit of good fellowship that has made the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association a factor in Denver life, though it is only a year and a half old, and it has occupied its present quarters, 2014 Champa street, since April, 1910. In that time it has grown to 900 members, a part of whom are non-residents, being accorded the privileges of the Association under the provisions of the bylaws relative to non-resident members. It is not the desire to burden you with facts and figures, but to entertain you—on paper now, and in the hope that some day we may entertain you in person. Therefore let's make an inspection of the Association quarters. The Rocky Mountain Athletic Association is housed in a twenty-room two-story brick building situated at 2014 Champa street, Denver, Colorado, on a plot of ground 50x125 feet, one block from the new postoffice now building. In preparation for its occupancy this building was remodeled a year ago. VICTOR WALKER, PRESS MIDDLE SCHOOL The pool and billiard room is high class.

SHOE REPAIRING REPAIRING WHILE YOU WAIT ER CAMBERS 1023 Eighteenth C BROCADE OPERA COAT WITH CAP OF GOLD LACE BROCADES in silk and velvet, crepe and velvet and in satin have had, are having now and will continue to have a wonderful vogue. They are luxurious and beautiful and drape the figure in the manner of classic drapery. Women are inspired by them; they embody the "splendor" dear to women" which Tennyson noted. There is no gainsaying their effect upon the G carriage of their wearers. They are queenly garments. The fabrics are wonderful to start with, as rich looking as the old, heavy brocades after which they are patterned, and as light and supple as crepe. Many of them show raised velvet flowers or conventional designs on a crepe ground, the velvet flowers weighing the crepe so that it hangs in lovely lines about the figure. 5 These garments are cut longer than plush or cloth coats in order to cover The Simplest AN attractive waist made of all-over lace is shown here, which is as simple as can be and at the same time stylish and effective. It is cut by a blouse pattern, having the sleeves and bodice in one. The scams are set together with hem-stitching and frills of net finish them and the neck. Unlike many net and lace waists, the sleeves are barely elbow length, for in many of the new waists they are long. In fact, one extreme or the other seems to be the rule—either very long, coming well down over the hands, or else ending just above the elbow. A waist like that shown is useful in many ways. It is cut on the right lines by expert cutters. Women buy these simple lace and net waists and use them as a foundation on which to build much more elaborate affairs. By adding chiffon drapery—embroidered motifs, fine net or lace guttps, handsome girdles—they work transformations and lift the waist from the three dollar class into the thirty dollar class. Or if a lace and draped bodice is more of the light evening dresses worn under them than need be covered by coats for day wear. They are ornamented with fur at the neck and sleeves, and heavy cords and long tassels used for fastenings. Everything about them is sumptuous. For lining, plain crepe de chine and the thin supple satins are liked. The matter of warmth is not given great attention, for the wearers of so much splendor are supposed to ride and not walk upon the occasions that call for the coat. Still one may see plenty of these beautiful wraps in the cafes and elsewhere, on people who go about in the street cars and subways. But these conveyances are quite comfortable nowadays and the distances to be walked over are short. The evening coats fashionable now are ample and simple in outline. Most of them are cut with a yoke and having big, roomy sleeves in one with the body of the garment. They are easily put off and on. The picture shows an example which is a good type of the majority of cloaks. The small cap of gold lace trimmed with a standing spray of silk fibre aigrettes is simple enough. The gold of the cap and the black of the aigrette repeat these colors as they appear in the deep and vivid nattier blue of the wrap. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Flower Decorations for Muffs. Flowers are extraordinarily popular this season as decorative adjuncts for the muff. Huge, vivid-toned chrysan themums and dahlias in velvet, lead the way, and the splash of color afforded by the tawny shades running through all the gamut of lotous reds and yellows appeals irresistibly to the feminine mind. Many opportunities for the display of superb peltry are given this season by the varied arrangements of fur on the winter suits. It seems as though women were more than ever convinced that fur makes the most fascinating background for the complexion and were determined to lose no chance of using it for decorative purposes on every possible occasion. Lingerie Vanity Bag. Every woman knows the dainty squares of linen or lawn with elaborately embroidered corners that are called glove handkerchiefs, but every woman doesn't know that they may be fashioned into the most sanitary or vanity bags. As the glove handkerchief is never more than five inches square, it is easy to realize how very tiny will be the bag that is formed after a strip of lace beading has been run circle-wise between the corners and they have been drawn in with a quarter yard length of narrow ribbon which ties in the smallest of bows. When the bag is closed, the four embroidered ends fall over like the petals of a white lily. of Lace Waists wanted with a skirt of velvet or satin or any other of the season's fashionable fabrics, one of these neel or lace waists is draped with a bit of the material of the skirt. Sometimes there is a drapery over the shoulders, and sometimes it is in the form of the girdle. Often it is merely a panel at the back and front with chiffon over it and a separate girdle of ribbon. The skirt is separate usually but after the waist is adjusted and the girdle pinned to place the dress seems all in one. Nothing was ever more useful to the tourist than these simple blouses of lace and net. They are so soft and light that it is no trouble to carry them. One needs pretty corset covers of silk or lace under them, and they are mere wisps of clothing weighing nothing. With a pretty lace waist a ribbon girdle and the fancy corset cover, a plain skirt will answer and still the wearer may feel "dressed up" for dinner at the hotel or on the steamer, or at home, wherever there is a call for a pretty demi toilette.
