VOTE FOR THE RETAIL PLAN FOR IMMEDIATE MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP, FEB. 17th THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY End The Water Fight In The Right Way Vote For The Retail Plan VOL. XX. End The Fight Vote For Th Any effort to becloud the issue in the water question should be resented in the minds of the voters. The muck-raking being done is a discredit to all connected with such program. What Denver wants—and needs most of all—is a fair and just settlement of the water controversy. A calm and dispassionate view of the proposition of the Retail Plan is what the voters should attempt to arrive at before casting their ballots on February 17. It is inconceivable that a group of Denver's most substantial citizens—merchants whose all is centered here in an effort to acquire reputation and standing as business men—would enter into a conspiracy to rob the people through support of a plan to give the city prompt municipal ownership of its water plant. After all, the principal thing to be attained is to give Denver municipal ownership. The building of an entirely new plant cannot be other than a gamble from the start, and it assumes the aspect of a desperate plunge into the region of the unknown when one considers the fact that water is a scarce article in and around Denver just at this time. The failure of many of the big irrigation enterprises to develop into effective working concerns through their inability to supply sufficient water is evidence of the scarcity of that essential. The Denver Union Water Company has been able to supply a sufficiency of pure, wholesome water to the city for many years, and unquestionably this company will fight through all the courts any attempt to take from them their claimed ownership of the water which they are providing for the city. Rather than risk endless controversy, which will throw the city into turmoil over this water, and the enormous expense and waste of time in building an entirely new plant, let us buy the company's plant at a reasonable figure, fix it up where fixing is needed, permit the people of Denver to go on undisturbed in their pursuit of happiness and end forever this seemingly interminable warfare between people whose only purpose seems to be the venting of enmity grounded in years of personal hatred. The Retail Plan for early municipal ownership at a fair purchase price, and includes a 10 per cent reduction in the rates, while the final details of taking over the plant are being decided. Every colored voter in Denver should not hesitate one instant, Tuesday, about voting for the Retail Plan—a businesslike settlement of the water question, which will mean better times for all. LEADING ENGINEERS SAY $8,000,000 ESTIMATE IS AWAY TOO LOW. If you were contemplating building a house, would you consult a lawyer, or a doctor, or a druggist as an expert to figure the plans and the cost for you? Certainly not. But you would employ an architect to lay out the plans and you would see to it that skilled carpenters, masons, plumbers, painters and others in the building trades were employed to carry out the plans. Why not follow the same course in settling the question of municipal ownership of a water plant for Denver. There are lawyers in Denver, newspaper publishers and ex-newspaper publishers, doctors and even preachers who tell us that a new plant can be constructed for $8,000,000. This statement is refuted by men who are in the practice of the engineering profession, and are therefore experts in judging matters of this kind. You have only to read the report of A. Lincoln Fellows, C. P. Allen and E. C. Van Diest, three of the best-known engineers in that profession, prepared for the Public Utilities Commission, to be convinced of the utter fallacy of the claim that a new plant can be constructed for $8,000,000. But for convenience, attention is called to page 224 of that report, DENVER COLORADO WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 11, 1914 State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House AN FOR IMMER ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO "As elsewhere estimated, without allowance for delays in legal proceedings, it should be possible to construct a new water system complete, in serviceable operation and providing service, within five years. "Approximate cost: Lands and water rights. $ 750,000 Reservoirs and canals... 2,500,000 Conduits ... 2,500,000 Hydro-electric plant ... 300,000 Filters ... 200,000 Distributing system ... 4,500,000 Engineering, contingencies and interest during construction ... 2,000,000 Total ... $12,750,000 These cold figures, based on hard work and months of accounting, are enough to knock in the head that silly twaddle about an $8,000,000 plant for Denver, because some cities of that same population paid that much." On the strength of such declarations, every voter should favor the Retail Plan, and Tuesday cast his ballot for that plan, which offers immediate municipal ownership at a reasonable cost. MONEY FOR NEW PLANT WOULD NEARLY ALL GO TO OUTSIDERS. Opponents of the Retail Plan for IMMEDIATE MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP cry long and loud about building a new plant because it will give employment to labor and release a great deal of money that will circulate in Denver. It is a fact that cannot be successfully disputed that three dollars of the money spent for the construction of a new plant would go outside of the city and never return, where one dollar would remain. All of the pipe would be purchased on bid and would of necessity have to be supplied by factories located away from Denver, because there is none manufactured here. And this would be one of the largest items of expense of construction. Men familiar with the work of laying this pipe would be imported, and even common laborers would be brought in in gangs from the outside to fulfill the excavating contracts. What little machinery that would be purchased at home would be small compared with that shipped in or leased from factories outside of the city, because the attractive profits to be made from the same would bring bids from the largest manufacturing plants in the country, whose prices are lower than the smaller factories, because of the bigger business done. --- Viewing the matter from another point: It will take at least five years to build a new plant. In the meantime interest is being paid by the taxpayers and for something that they are not sure will be a success. On the other hand, if the plant of the Denver Union Water Company is purchased under the Retail Plan, we will acquire immediate municipal ownership at a reasonable price, and will have an income property from the very start, which will provide money for paying interest on bonds and thereby avoid the necessity of increased taxes. This increased tax can be nothing more than an assessment against the property holders to pay the running expenses of a gambling enterprise. - Adv. Tuesday, February 17th, is election day and it behooves every citizen of our race, who has a vote, to go to the polls, for this election means the settlement of one of the most perplexing questions that is causing agitation and strife in our beautiful city. See Saturdays issue of the Colorado Statesman for full instructions in regard to voting. Friday the 13th at 8 p. m., there will be a joint mass meeting at the Auditorium to discuss the water question. Prominent supporters of the Taxpayers association will make addresses. Plenty of good music will fill intermissions. Come out, Mr. Taxpayer and bring your friends. "Less' Miserables." A servant girl who had been to a cinematograph theater was asked by her mistress how she had enjoyed herself. "Not very much, mum," she replied. "The pictures were all so gloomy and sad. Nearly everyone died in them, and there was hardly one that you could laugh at. "I think it will be better next week," she added, hopefully, "for as I came out I saw a notice that they were going to have 'Les Miserables!'"—London Express. Cerberus. In Greek fable Cerberus was the three-headed dog that watches outside the entrance to hades. Some writers assert that he had 50 heads, but generally he is said to have three, and three snakes are twined about his neck. His cave was on the farther side of the dark River Styx, where Charon, the ferryman of the dead, landed the shades. Cerberus is supposed to welcome all entering hades, but to seize all those seeking to escape. Modern Society Arrogance Modern Society Arrogance. Manners seem to be largely a matter of individual preference since there is so little harmony in opinion. A woman who condemns praise of a pretty gown or becoming hat on the score of bad taste will openly criticise her neighbor for acts which are not to her liking. This is, on the whole, a great deal of arrogance shown in setting up a standard and expecting the rest of humanity to follow it.—Exchange. Getting the Best of the Grouch.

From a reliable source it has been learned that President Wilson is favorably considering reappointing Robert H. Terrell a Judge of the Municipal Court. Boston, Mass., Feb. 3.—In the will of the late Benjamin Leeds, filed here last week, provisions are made for $325,000 in public gifts. Among the legatees the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, which has been left a bequest of $25,000. Washington, D. C., Feb. 3. The Senate Committee on Rules has authorized the manager of the Senate restaurant to dismiss any waiter. The committee promised to support him if the dismissal is for a good reason. The purpose of this order is to do away with the practice of having Negro waiters reinstated by individual Senators. Norfolk, Va., Feb. 3.—Race segregation laws here, seeking to separate the whites and blacks in definite parts of the city, stand adjudged unconstitutional on a technicality. The city has lost an appeal in the State Circuit Court seeking to overturn a lower court's verdict of unconstitutionality. The trades union organized by colored men in Paris the latter part of January is said to have a membership of over 10,000. The object of the union is to resist the efforts of the white workmen, who are claimed to be attempting to prevent the colored men from getting an increase in pay. New York—One of the most prominent features in the work of the African Methodist Episcopal church is its great interest in home and foreign missions. The denomination has grown in numbers and influence more rapidly on account of this fact perhaps than from any other known cause. With competent bishops, well qualified presiding elders, pastors and secretaries, the work of the various churches and departments has shown many good results since the last general conference. Hampton, Va., Feb. 3.—Dr. Stephen S. Wise, rabbi of the Free Synagogue, New York City, delivered at Hampton Institute on Sunday, February 1, an address in commeration of General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, who founded the Hampton School in 1868. Dr. NO 24 Wise showed clearly that General Armstrong was a "statesman-educator of a democracy," statesman-philanthropist,""statesman-visionary and idealist"—a man of radiant personality and a man who walked with God. VIRGINIA'S CHARTER NOT LAWFULLY REVOKED SUPREME COURT ISSUES RESTRAINING ORDER. Washington, D. C., January 31. The Supreme Court, District of Columbia on Friday, January 30, 1914, refused to grant the plea of the Supreme Lodge, that the suit of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia be dismissed with costs on the Plaintiff and decided that the action of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A. in session at Baltimore, Maryland, August 26 30, 1913 in revoking the charter of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythia of Virginia and ordering the dissolution, was unconstitutional and unlawful. It issued a sweeping injunction restraining the Supreme Lodge, the Supreme Chancellor or their agents anywhere in the United States from interfering with the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias on account of any such alleged revocation of the charter. It forbids the issuance or circulation of any proclamation or letters by the Supreme Chancellor or his agents based upon the alleged revocation of the charter and dissolution of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia. Mr. Justice Gould announced that the question of the constitutionality of the tax levy by the Supreme Lodge upon the members of the several grand jurisdictions would be finally decided by the Court. This will result in a complete review of the case by competent authority and the constitutionality of the enactment of the new Constitution at Baltimore, Maryland will also be settled. John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge, K. P. of Virginia, Thomas M. Crump, G. K. of R. and S. and R. C. Mitchell were present during the deliberations. The Grand Lodge was represented by Hon. Clarence R. Wilson, Paul E. Lesch, Esq, and James F. Minor, Esq., the latter making the argument, and the Supreme Lodge by Mr. James A. Cobb and Henry E. Davis, Esq, the latter making the argument. COPYRIGHT UNDERWEAR & UNDERWAS When Judge Ben Lindsey of the Denver juvenile court took his young bride home the other day, the couple were welcomed by a great throng of neweboys and street arabs. "What do you think of her?" the judge asked the cheering lads. "She's some chicken," was the enthusiastic reply, and the judge, looking at the pretty, blushing girl, said "I guess you're right." PERU PREMIER SLAIN PERU PREMIER SLAIN PRESIDENT BILLINGHURST TAKEN PRISONER AT LIMA. Former Fugitive Leads Rebels in Storming of the Palace—Ecuador Rebels Gain. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Lima, Peru.—The President of the Republic of Peru, Guillermo Billinghurst, was taken prisoner by military revolutionists. The rebels suddenly attacked the presidential palace under the leadership of Colonel Benavides. General Enrique Varela, premier and minister of war, was killed in the fight which ensued. Dr. Augusto Durand, a former revolutionary leader, whose arrest was sought by the police, took possession of the palace. It is generally believed that he will at once organize a new government. The attack on the palace began at half past four in the morning. Thousands of the inhabitants of Lima ran into the streets, alarmed by the firing. Squads of soldiers were ordered to fire volleys into the air in order to prevent the formation of crowds in the streets and by this method they kept the panic-stricken people moving from place to place. In the vicinity of San Pedro church a civilian bystander was killed by a bullet. Great alarm prevailed throughout the city. Banks and stores were closed and private houses barricaded. The street cars, however, began running before noon. President Billinghurst was later taken by the rebels as a prisoner to Callao, from which port he will be sent into exile in a foreign country. Peru's sudden revolutionary trouble is due principally to Billinghurst's earnest efforts to place the finances of his country on a sound basis. His scheme for doing this involved the strictest economics throughout the public service, and, naturally, proved unpopular, particularly among office-holders, who saw their salaries and estimates pruned with a merciless hand. Panama.—Mail advices received from Ecuador say the revolution in the republic is gaining headway and that Guayaquil, the principal seaport, is preparing to proclaim a new government. The province of Esmeraldes is in the hands of revolutionists led by Colonel Carlos Concha. Denver Girl Reported Robbed.

Chinese, 93, Last in Park County, Dies Fairplay.—There are no more Chinese in Park county. The last one, Ah Yut, 93 years old, who lived alone on Reaver creek, was found dead in his cabin. He had been a resident of the county for thirty-five years. DENVER TO GET REGIONAL BANK DENVER TO GET REGIONAL BANK WASHINGTON CLEARING HOUSE SENDS RECOMMENDATION TO THE FEDERAL COMMITTEE. TWELVE CITIES NAMED WASHINGTON SLATED FOR HEAD QUARTERS FOR ONE OF THE FIRST EIGHT DISTRICTS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—To meet the only argument which as yet has not been decisively answered in Denver's claim for a regional reserve bank, the joint clearing house-Chamber of Commerce committee opened lists for the raising of $1,000,000 in individual subscriptions to the stock of a reserve bank in Denver. Washington.—The plan which the Washington clearing house association has approved for the system of federal reserve banks to be established under the new currency law was forwarded to the federal reserve organization committee. Washington is named as the headquarters for one of the first eight districts and four additional districts are named, in order of preference, in the event that more than eight federal reserve banks are created. The twelve cities recommended are New York with surplus and capital of national banks of $364,000,000 and capital for a regional bank of $22,000,000; Washington with $260,000,000 and $15,000,000 respectively; Chicago, $184,000,000 and $11,000,000; Boston, $165,000,000 and $10,000,000; St. Louis, $90,000,000 and $5,400,000; San Francisco, $116,000,000 and $7,000,000; Atlanta, $98,000,000 and $4,666,000; Denver, $88,000,000 and $4,000,000; Cincinnati, $120,000,000 and $7,000,000; Kansas City, $148,000,000 and $9,000,000; Pittsburg, $116,000,000 and $7,000,000; and Minneapolis, with $80,000,000 capital and surplus in the national banks of the district and $4,800,000 of capital for a regional bank.

Freeze in the Middle West Working Toward the Atlantic. Chicago, Feb. 7.—A cold wave that held virtually all the country west of the Atlantic states in its grip was felt friday, and by the end of the week will include the states along the eastern seaboard, according to the official forecasters. Zero weather extended as far south as Texas and in the Northwest states the mercury went to 40 below. The cold was central over the Ohio valley. All parts of the country except the Atlantic states reported sudden low temperatures. Extreme temperatures were Havre, Mont., 42 below; St. Joseph, Mo., zero; Amarillo, Texas, 2 above; Bismarck, N. D., and Winnipeg, Manitoba, 30 below; Hemingford, Neb., 15 below; Chevenne, Wyo., 22 below. Farmers in the grain belt are gratified by the snow and cold affording protection to winter wheat. Western cattle are said to have been prepared for the cold and stock men will suffer little. "Ready Prints" Take Parcel Post Rates. Denver.—C. F. Wadsworth, manager of the Western Newspaper Union at this point, has been advised by the Postoffice Department that his arguments for the admission of printed newspaper service, or "ready prints," have been accepted by the department and these rates for this class of mail have been established by the order of the postmaster general dated January 31, No. 7800. Senators Shafroth and Thomas and Congressman Taylor, Keating and Seldomridge lent valuable aid in securing an early decision on this point, as well as Alva A. Swain, secretary of the Colorado Editorial Association and the outgoing and incoming executive committees of the association. The decision of the Postoffice Department will save country publishers thousands of dollars a year. Bigamist Pleads Guilty; Sentenced. Kansas City. — Frank G.

ORDER JACK TARS OUT ORDER JACK TARS OUT HAITI ISSUES ULTIMATUM TO GERMANY AND AMERICA. Citizens' Committee of Port au Prince Demands Withdrawal of Marines. Serious Disorders Are Rife. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Port au Prince, Haiti.—A demand for the withdrawal from the Haitian capital of the German and American bluejackets and marines was presented to the members of the foreign diplomatic corps by the citizens' committee of public safety. The committee, which was formed after the flight of the President of the republic, points out that perfect tranquillity has prevailed for some time at the capital, and hat, therefore, there is no necessity for the further presence of foreign troops. The port authorities forbade the landing of a part of sixteen prominent exiles who arrived here on board the German steamer Sardinia. Among them were General Horelle Moplazier, former minister of war, and H. Pauleus Sannon, former Haitian minister at Washington. The Sardinia later left for Jamaica with the exiles still on board. Reports from the south indicate serious disturbances there. Firing squads of government troops have executed a number of leading revolutionists at the ports of Aux Cayas and Aguin. Among those killed was M. Lavieux, a former deputy and a prominent politician. General Dartigue, the military governor of the southern province, is acting with vigor and suppressing with a strong hand all attempts at a revolutionary outbreak. MILITARY ARRESTS UPHELD. Trinidad Judge Bases Opinion on Moyer Habeas Corpus Precedent. Trinidad.—The right of the military authorities to detain prisoners indefinitely was upheld in the District Court by Judge A. W. McHendrie in handing down his decision in the habeas corpus cases brought by union attorneys. The decision remands the prisoners concerned —James T. Davis, Aguilar marshal; Albert Hill and Bert McGuire, Aguilar union officers, and Antonio Lamont, union organizer—to the custody of the militia. Attorney F. W. Clark for the union took thirty days in which to file a bill of exceptions for an appeal to the Supreme Court. Judge McHendrie bases his brief opinion on the Moyer habeas corpus cases under the Peabody administration. He said Moyer's detention had been upheld by the Supreme Court then and circumstances at the present time, as far as the legal status of the case is concerned, are parallel. Wants John D. to Pay County Tax. Cleveland, Ohio—John D. Fielker and William Agnew, deputy state taxation officers for Cuyahoga county, went to the home of John D. Rocke feller on Forest Hill, East Cleveland, and fired a written demand on him that he pay taxes on his personal property, estimated at $900,000,000, into the treasury of this county. Nation Preparing for War? Washington.—The House appropriation of $800,000 for artillery ammunition was increased to $2,000,000 by the Senate appropriations committee. Increases in the bill by the Senate committee totaled $1,720,000. House Finishes Highway Bill. Washington.—The House concluded general debate on the good roads bill, which would appropriate $25,000,000 for federal aid to the states in road construction. Its passage is believed to be virtually certain. Venezuelan Exile Comes Here Port of Spain, Trinidad.—Señor José Manuel Hernandez, known as "El Mocho," a Venezuelan exile, who was formerly minister at Washington, left here for New York on board the steamship Byron. SENATE PASSES FARM MEASURE SENATE PASSES FARM MEASURE AMENDED HOUSE BILL CARRIED WITHOUT DISSENTING VOTE FOR AGRICULURAL AID. STATE TO GET $10,000 REFUSES TO REQUIRE THAT COL LEGES FOR NEGROES BE GIVEN EQUAL BENEFITS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington—The House agricultural extension bill passed the Senate with amendments without a dissenting vote. The bill provides for demonstrations on the farm of approved methods and scientific discoveries as to farming and home economics made in the state agricultural colleges, experimental stations and in the federal department of agriculture. The secretary of agriculture and land grant agricultural colleges are to outline plans for carrying out the demonstrations. As agreed to in the Senate the bill will appropriate unconditionally $10,000 annually to each state. In addition a sum of $600,000 for the coming year, with a yearly increase of $600,000 for the next seven years will be provided for distribution among the states on a basis of rural population, conditioned on each state appropriating a sum equal to its portion of the federal funds. After seven years the bill will provide a permanent appropriation of $4,800,000 annually. An amendment requiring that negro colleges be permitted to share in the fund was defeated by a vote of 32 to 23. The bill was amended, however, as a result of a fight on the race question by placing the distribution of the funds in the hands of the secretary of agriculture and respective state governors in states having more than one agricultural college and also specifying against race discrimination in the demonstration work on the farms. The bill probably will be considered shortly in conference between the two houses. MOTHER AND FIVE CHILDREN DIE Villa Sends Thousand to Butcher Outlaws After Cumbre Wreck. Cumbre, Chihuahua, Mex. — The charred bones of Mrs. Lee Carruth and her five children were found in the Cumbre tunnel and the bodies of eight other Americans and sixty Mexicans are still in the ruins. They are victims of the butchery of Bandit Castillo who wrecked the train by sending it into the tunnel to plunge into the burning wreckage of a freight train he had destroyed. Mrs. Carruth was the wife of a Madera locomotive engineer. General Villa has sent 1,000 men to search for the bandits with orders to take no prisoners. "Kill any member of the bandit band on sight," he commanded the leaders of the expedition. As a result of the order scores of armed men, not connected with the rebel cause and suspected of complicity in the raid, are being hanged and shot immediately on capture. Nothing but charred bones and buttons were found by the rescuing party which, with the aid of oxygen helmets and pulmotors succeeded in penetrating the tunnel from the south portal as far as the locomotive and first two cars of the passenger train. These are supposed to be the bodies of the engineer and fireman of the ill-fated passenger train. GIRL KILLS AFFINITY'S WIFE. Innkeeper's Daughter Then Ends Own Life With Poison. Newark, N. J.—Hazel Herdman, an innkeeper's daughter, confessed after taking a fatal dose of poison, that it was she who shot and killed Mrs. Harriet Manning, wife of Charles I. Manning, a garage owner. She said, on her death bed at a hospital in Montclair, that she had killed the woman in order that Manning might marry her. Manning, who hurried the young woman to the hospital after she had taken the poison, is the father, the police say, of her year-old baby. He is in custody of the police. He had been separated from his wife for two years. His intimacy with Miss Herdman caused the estrangement. "I killed her because I loved her husband," the dying girl said to the doctors and nurses. "I asked her many times to get a divorce from him so I could marry him. She refused to do it. She stood between him and me; that's why I shot her." Before she took the poison, she wrote a note to Manning which he turned over to the police. Sheridan's Classmate Dies. Indianapolis, Ind.—Gen. John P. Hawkins, 83, U. S. A., retired, died at his home in this city after a long illness. General Hawkins served throughout the Civil War and in Indian campaigns. He was a classmate of Philip Sheridan at West Point, from where he was graduated in 1852. London Exports Increase. London.—The January statement of the Board of Trade shows a decrease of $16,126,000 imports and an increase of $11,800,000 in exports. The Monarch Liquor Co.

Keeps Tab Upon Army and Navy Deserters WASHINGTON.—As Uncle Sam finds trouble in locating recalcitrant members of the army and navy who take "French leave," there is a bureau in both the war and navy departments to keep tab on these individuals. In the war department the bureau is presided over by a "graybeard" who has been in the service since eight years after the Civil war. He is so familiar with the files of the office under the adjutant general that each yellow-back envelope is almost like an old friend. "Like father, like son" is an old adage, and it was never more true than of conditions in this office. the destinies of the yellow-back paper are the methods which he employs in co- "I would like you to look up for me or Schults," was a request made of this that in the past ten years nearly 1,000 in the office.

"I would like you to look up for me the name of Ray Schultz or Roy Schultz or Schults," was a request made of this official recently. It has been estimated that in the past ten years nearly 1,000,000 record enlistments have been filed in the office. As the files are arranged, however, a search is not the arduous task that upon first glance it seems to be. On every side of the room, which runs the entire length of one wing of the war department, are steel file cases. The enlistment date was secured in a little less than two hours. An answer to a similar inquiry in the navy department was obtained in a little less than 20 minutes. The system there is entirely different. It follows the index system of the modern department store. As an officer explained, it sometimes developed that hurry was mandatory. He pointed out the case of an enlisted man who had been arrested in a southern city for deserting his ship, which had been ordered to Mexican waters. The enlisted man upon arrest denied he was an enlisted man. No immediate proof could be obtained that he was in the navy or that he was a deserter. The only accusation against him was brought by a witness who thought he had recognized the man. Navy officials were communicated with, but the only word received by the court officers was "hold the prisoner for identification." It was three days before the court was completely convinced that the enlisted man was a member of the navy.

One constantly expects to hear him say something that will rip the stars from their appointed places and tumble the indigo firmament upon the frightened worlds. But he never says it. That's where the joke comes in. And that's what gives point to an observation made recently by W. Sinkler Manning.

MAY BUILD MEMORIAL MOVEMENT TO HONOR MEMORY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON. Will Be in the Form of a Great Convention Hall—Capital's Largest Auditorium Now Seats Only About 2,000 People. It will probably surprise the public not a little to be told that in the city of Washington, the capital of this country, distinguished for its large and imposing civic structures, the largest auditorium suitable for convention purposes, including floor, stage and galleries, seats only about two thousand people. LAURENCE H. BURKE At the latest session of the conference on dermatology and hygiene there were present 3,000 delegates. As a consequence for practically a third of them there was "standing room only", and none too much of that. For great gatherings, especially those of an international character, Washington is the natural meeting ground, and probably for such purposes it would be much more in request were there an adequate hall for their accommodation. It is the seat of government, it has within its limits repositories of knowledge nowhere else so rich or so available. To correct this deficiency is a part of the purpose of the George Washington Memorial association, but only a part of it. Perhaps, if so minded, the national government could equip the city, over which it has direct control, with such a needed convenience. But it would mean merely a big building and nothing more. The conspicuous structures erected in Washington have a character beyond the mere accommodation of crowds, and so the movement includes a suitable memorial to the "Father of His Country." It may be said that the city itself, with its beautiful avenues and stately buildings, is memorial enough for the greatest of the distinguished men in our history, but names and places lose their personal significance, and a specially designed memorial would more intimately recall the notable person whose memory it is designed to honor. This is what the George Washington Memorial building would be designed to accomplish. It would declare its character to all who visited it or made use of it for deliberative or educational purposes. The movement appears to have secured the sympathy and approval of other institutions and of the government. The Smithsonian Institution, the National Academy of Science and many others are behind it. The government has donated a site of several acres facing the Mall, with an estimated value of half a million dollars. To crown this with a structure adequate to the intent and in harmony with its environment would cost about two and a half millions more. The duty and the privilege of raising this sum has been turned over to the states. It is proper that this responsibility should be placed upon them. It is not to be raised by taxation, as we understand it, but by appeal to public spirit. Those who have been pressing for a George Washington National university might well divert their activities toward the advancement of this more practical enterprise. What Washington desired in the infancy of the nation gives us no light upon what his views would have been could he have foreseen how the passion of founding institutions "for the diffusion of knowledge" would develop. His memory has certainly been honored in all parts of the country in the zeal and enterprise shown in carrying out his cherished wish. But the present project would very appreciably reinforce what has already been accomplished. It would be for the "diffusion of knowledge." To those states which made adequate appropriation toward its cost it would provide space in which to exhibit their resources and achievements. It is an American movement of large significance in which all patriotic Americans should be interested. TO COLLECT WAR RECORDS Capt. H. C. Clark, Retired Army Officer, Placed in Charge of Big Undertaking. Secretary Garrison has issued orders for the systematic collection, with a view to publication, of the widely-scattered records of the Revolutionary war, for which purpose congress has appropriated the sum of $25,000. Capt. H. C. Clark, U. S. army, retired, has been placed in charge of the work and with a small force of clerks assigned to help him will occupy offices in the adjutant general's bureau of the war department. Years will be required for the completion of the work. Among other things it involves the examination and copying of records distributed among the state archives, historical societies, patriotic organizations and individual owners, not only in the 13 original states, but in all parts of this country and even in Europe. Owing to their great age it is feared that some of them may be difficult, if not impossible, to decipher. Captain Clark undoubtedly will be aided in his search by local historians, archivists, librarians and antiquarians. MAKE HOMES IN WASHINGTON Society In National Capital Owes Its Dignity to Widows of No- table Men. Women who have shared the triumphs of men whose achievements helped along the expansion of the nation are coming in increasing numbers to the capital to live. To them Washington society owes the dignity and balance which mark a city as cosmopolitan rather than provincial. Notable on the roster are Mrs. Thomas Walsh, whose attractive home, crowning an eminence in Columbia road, has been the scene of successive fetes; Mrs. Richard Townsend, whose residence has been one of the "show places" of the residence district for a decade, and Mrs. Robert W. Patterson, whose hospitalities are as distinctive as the chatelaine of one of the best appointed homes in Washington can make them. Mrs. Patterson's sister, Mrs. Robert S. McCormick, is another of this circle. Still another is Mrs. William Draper, who has made for herself a special place in the city's social history by reason of the distinction which marks her entertainments. Mrs. John Hay each season contributes her share to the notable entertainments of the day. Mrs. Thomas F. Bayard, widow of the one-time American ambassador to England; Mrs. Philip Sheridan, Mrs. George E. Pickett, Mrs. John A. Logan, Mrs. Allan K. Capron, whose husband fell at San Juan hill; Mrs. Winfield Scott Schley, Mrs. William T. Sampson and Mrs. Henry C. Corbin all occupy eminent positions in the social history of the capital. Mrs. Christian Hauge of Kentucky, widow of a Swedish diplomatist; Mrs. T. De Witt Talmage of Pittsburgh, Pa., widow of the noted preacher; Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins, widow of a man who was successively a cabinet minister and a United States senator, and Mrs. Robert R. Hitt, widow of a multi-millionaire representative in congress from Illinois, hold sway in exclusive social circles. Mrs. Delos A. Blodgett of Grand Rapids, widow of a philanthropist of the northwest, and her sister, Mrs. Charles G. Matthews of Charleston, S. C., who maintain a handsome home which is the center of a generous hospitality, and Mrs. Gillette-Hill of Illinois, whose home is the scene of many fetes, are comparatively newcomers in this circle. Mrs. Marshall Field of Chicago, whose hospitalities include guests of international interest; Mrs. Burton Harrison of New York; Mrs. Marcus A. Hanna of Ohio, and Mrs. Mary Sherman McCallum swell the roster of distinguished women who make Washington their home in winter. 'COON WITH GOLDEN TOOTH STATISTICAL SHOW When Edward F. Goltra, the Democratic national committeeman from Missouri, came to Washington the other day he brought with him an odd present for Senator "Bill" Stone. It was a raccoon with a gold tooth. His name is "Ben," and after he had visited the president and other officials, he took quarters in the senator's waste basket and promptly went to sleep. "Ben's" gold tooth is explained by Mr. Goltra as being the result of the fight that resulted from the animal's capture. One tooth was knocked out and a kind-hearted dentist consented to save him from permanent disfigurement by inserting the golden substitute. "Ben" will make his home henceforth in the National Zoological park, where the other 'coons will probably be consumed with envy when they get a good look at his "golden smile." ARE WORRIED OVER BEQUEST Officials of Post Office Department Don't Know What to Do With $2,000 Gift. The post office department and the house post office and post roads committee have been worrying for a long time over what to do with $2,000. And they haven't come to a decision yet. The money was left to the government in 1902 by Dr. C. F. McDonald e" Boston, the "father of the money order system. The government's legal advisers have held that the post office department cannot make use of the bequest although for 11 years the money has been on deposit in the treasury. Congress has now been asked by Third Assistant Postmaster General Dockery to take such action as will permit the post office department to use the funds. In explaining the matter to congress Mr. Dockery said that Doctor McDonald was "the father of the money order system and its first superintendent." He made it his life's work and was rewarded by seeing it grow to be "the most successful system of its kind in the world." The bequest was made, he said, "to secure continued improvement of the service when his farseeing mind could no longer direct the policies and safeguard the interests of the system." "The bequest," Mr. Dockery said "seems to impose upon the department as a trust the duty of making all reasonable efforts to fulfill his wishes."

It is the first publication of the kind ever launched by progressive Negroes and will, no doubt, fill a long felt want. It is published bi-monthly. Now is the time for the Negro voters and taxpayers to become busy on the water question and show just where they stand, as they are menaced by a great danger. As citizens and taxpayers we must become interested in every public question. The colored voter is expected to do his part. The Plan of the Retail Association is the best for the taxpayer. Judging from public utterances the people of this fair city are overwhelmingly in favor of municipal ownership of its water system and reduced water rates, and are unalterably opposed to the construction of a new water plant. The signing of the stipulation by the water company, in which it made a binding agreement as to the construction it will put on the contract, and naming a maximum amount that it will ask for its plant, has worked a wonderful change in public sentiment. The stipulation knocked out at one blow every valid argument which had been raised against the plan. OUR WATER RIGHTS To the people dwelling beyond the great mountain and plain region of the United States, water rights is a term quite unfamiliar and only vaguely comprehensible, and, therefore, in the larger part of the country it has no bearing upon those ordinary conditions which we, in the West, consider natural and fundamental. The vast prairie district, extending from Texas to Dakota, coupled with the mountain region reaching from the eastern slopes of the Rockies to the eastern rises of the Sierra Nevadas, have natural problems all their own, one of the greatest of which is the water supply. In other sections of the country, where the entire soil surface is nurtured and fed by great rivers and other numerous natural streams and lakes, not even a thought of such problems is forced upon the happily-situated people and their cities and towns are so located that their original water supply is, by apparent providential provision, practically placed at their very doors. They have but to impound it, filter it and force it through conduits for their various domestic uses. But it is not so here in the West, where an occasional solitary and impoverished stream or isolated lake is the source of redemption for vast districts, which otherwise would be totally unfit for permanent human settlement or agricultural development. Here the waters of these infrequent and sometimes precarious sources must be diverted and conducted by a vast system of artificial distribution through pipes and ditches and protected canals to the cities and territories dependent upon them. The establishment of these original systems of diverting water from agrarian streams and the acquisition of smaller streams, ditches and lakes of entirely private ownership with the means of distributing their flow to the districts to be benefited, become legally established water rights of as certain title as that of the land itself, and of immense consideration and almost incalculable value, especially to those larger beneficiaries in whose interests they have been originally planned and constructed. Our existing system, based upon the rights originally acquired, cannot be replaced by any other sufficient system possible of conjecture, and its abstract value is far above what the city will ever be called upon to pay for.

NEW YORK MAN KILLED SKYSCRAPERS SWAY AND PANIC CAUSED BY DISTURBANCE FELT WEST TO ST. LOUIS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. New York, Feb. 11.--Skyscrapers in New York city swayed in an earthquake shock Tuesday, which shook all the state, New England and eastern Canada and parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The shock was strongest in central and northern New York. It was felt as far south as Washington, and as far west as St. Louis. At Albany, N. Y., the shock was severe enough to shake pictures from the walls of the capitol, while at Binghamton a laborer was killed by the caving in of a trench in which he was working. At Fort Plain the heavy doors of a bank vault shook under the influence of the quake, and from other parts of the state the falling of chimneys, swaying of houses and destruction of fragile objects was reported. In New York city the preliminary tremor was felt at 1:35:15. At 1:35:45, the shock had reached its maximum intensity, and at 1:37:30 the movement subsided altogether. Points in central Massachusetts, among them Springfield and Worcester, report the disturbance to have occurred shortly before the time given by the seismograph of the Museum of Natural History of New York. At Philadelphia the shock was felt at 1:33, and Georgetown University at Washington, D. C., reports that its seismograph marked the first tremor at 11:41, recording the actual shock at 1:34. The seismograph of the Harvard geological observatory, Cambridge, Mass., recorded the first tremor of 1:33:25 and marked total subsidence of the disturbance at 1:40:34, overlapping both in initial movement and end of quake the records taken in New York city. According to Dr. Edmund O. Hovey, curator of geology of the American Museum of Natural History, the character of the record left by the seismograph in his institution shows that the movement of the quake was not attended by great lateral oscillations. Flight tremors were registered on his instruments Monday at intervals, and throughout the last twenty-four hours slight disturbances of the earth crest were recorded by it, their general character, indicating that the movement was slight and entirely local. BATTLE TO HALT RADIUM BILL. Senator Shafroth Seeks to Prevent "Railroading" of Withdrawal Measure. Washington.—Vigorous objection to any attempt to "railroad" through committee the pending bill for regulation of radium mining was made by Senator Shafroth of Colorado when the Senate mines committee took up the bill virtually the same as that drafted by the house committee. "It is perfectly obvious," said Chairman Walsh, "that there is a race on for these radium claims. If Congress is to do anything it should do it now." Senator Shafroth insisted that Thomas F. V. Curran of Colorado, who desires to be heard, be given time to get to Washington. MINER FOUND SHOT TO DEATH. James Moynahan Believed to Be Sulcide; Friends Say Accident. Breckenridge.—The body of James Moynahan, 52, was found on the floor of his cabin at the Wellington mine, where he had been employed as night foreman for the last ten years. Death had been caused by a bullet wound in the forehead. A .22 caliber rifle was lying on the body. Theories are that Moynahan committed suicide or was accidentally shot. No reason whatever can be given by friends why he should have ended his life. Moynahan was the nephew of former State Senator Moynahan of Alma. His wife died about two years ago and since then his three sons, ranging in age from four to twelve years, have been with their grandmother at Greeley. Moynahan was well known in Alma, Playland and Cripple Creek. He is survived by two brothers and a sister living at Globe, Ariz., and two sisters in Cripple Creek. He left a letter to one of the sisters, the contents of which are unknown. The body will be sent to Greeley for interment. House Passes $25,000,000 Road Bill. Washington.—By a vote of 282 to 42 the House passed the Shackelford good roads bill, authorizing the secretary of agriculture to spend $25,000,000 annually in maintaining rural post roads, to be distributed among the states according to the ratio of their population and road mileage to that of the entire country. The Senate has not yet considered the bill, the original of which was passed without material amendment.

A man in Illinois has invented a process to produce and market a rain coat that can be retailed from 10 cents up. These coats are made in the regulation slip-on style, from an integral piece of waterproof paper. Their production cost will be no higher than 5 cents each, and even that figure can be lessened. The coat can be folded up to fit in an ordinary envelope and is particularly adapted to being carried in handbags. The coats can be made of oiled paper, or paraffin, vellum parchment paper, which gives the appearance of silkiness at a short distance. The original idea was for the coats to be worn only once, but, after a trial, it was demonstrated that they could be utilized successfully two or three times. The coats are reinforced where the buttons are sewed on and also where the button holes are cut. There are only two seams, both running underneath the arms and down the sides. These seams are cemented by ordinary glue. NEW TOOL FOR LACING BELT Difficulty of Getting Connection Close Together Is Obviated by Implement Recently Invented. A handy little tool for lacing ends of belting together has been invented by a man in the state of Washington. It is such a simple little tool that the word "invented" seems almost out of place—nothing more than a thin metal rod. coiled upon itself at the middle, and with one end bent into a hook. Belt Lacing Tool. the other end serving as a handle. In lacing belts together it is often difficult to get the connection as close as is desirable, owing to the fact that the laces can not be worked with the fingers as well as they might. Once they were pulled fairly tight it was hard to loosen them up again to pull them still tauter. Here is where the lacing tool comes in, for the hook can be inserted under the lace and the latter worked out in a twinkling.

The axe head is provided with a socket for the handle and with a groove for the reception of the back of the Improved Axe Blade. bit, the groove being provided with a socket for the handle and with a groove for the reception of the back of the bit, the groove being provided with beveled seats and the back of the bit with beveled lugs adapted to engage the seat to center the bit on the axe head and to hold the bit against accidental movement in an up and down direction. IS STRONGER THAN DYNAMITE New High Explosive, Trotol, Is Safe to Handle—Resembles Brown Sugar in Appearance. Trotol is the name of a new high explosive which is twice as powerful as dynamite and very much safer to handle. Six ounces of trotol will do the work of 12 ounces of dynamite, but nothing will explode it except fulminate of mercury, and that can be stored within six inches of it without danger. When packed in a 12-inch shell and fired at armor plate 1,000 yards away, during a recent test by the United States artillery, trotol remained unexploded in spite of the terrific concussion. In appearance it resembles wet brown sugar and is made up in sticks. Unlike dynamite, trotol can be kept in water for years without deteriorating. The new explosive was discovered by an officer of the New York national guard through the study of an old German book containing 2,000 formulas for high explosives. From one of these, taken at random, trotol was developed. Limestone Wool. Wool not the product of sheep is being utilized abroad for men's clothes.

Appetizing and Not Especially Hard to Prepare, Even in an Emergency—Choosing Partners for St. Valentine's Day. At this season of the year Dutch suppers are very popular along with studio teas and all sorts of informal affairs. A jolly crowd received invitations like this not long ago: "If you is frent of urs Und like fun pretty much, Shust come to our party Friday night Und help us 'down the Dutch.' Thursday, December 16" The hostess had made quantities of paper tulips and by the help of crepe papers in windmill pattern she had transformed the room into a good imitation of Holland. Dutch wooden shoes were the favors, filled with salted nuts, and the prize for pinning a shoe on Cinderella's toe was a box of Dutch cocoa. The following menu was written on shoe-shaped delft blue cards: Robgenbrod Schnittchen. Weisbrod Schnittchen. Spanischer Salat. Kaese. Kaffee. Els-Cremes. Nuss Kuchen. Teufel's Kuchen. It really means rye bread sand wiches, white bread sandwiches, salad, cheese, coffee, ice cream, nut cake, devil's cake. This is the recipe for Spanischer salat: Take the yolks of three eggs and add one-half teacupful of salad oil, stirring it into the eggs slowly. To this mixture add a teaspoonful of mustard, two tablespoonfuls of tarragon vinegar, one-half teaspoonful of sugar and a saltspoonful of salt. Slice three apples, three pickled gherkins, two cooked beets and from six to twelve boiled potatoes, according to their size; then skin and bone twelve good-sized sardines and mix all the ingredients together in a salad bowl. Serve with lettuce and garnish with hard-bolled eggs, sliced beets and lemon. For a card club this supper will be found most acceptable and somewhat different from the ordinary refreshments. Choosing Partners on Valentine Day. Make hearts of red or pink and cut in twain, writing the half of a love motto on each, when matched partners are found. Below is a list of sentiments used at a recent shower; the couples mated ate refreshments together. It is a fine scheme for a card party: Love me little—Love me long. The sweetest joy—The wildest woe is love. Love is the load stone—Of love. Love is of heavenly birth—But turns to death on touching earth. Love is blind—And lovers cannot see. Love is, or ought to be—Our greatest bliss. The pleasure of love—Is in loving. The sweetest thing in life—Is love. Love—What a volume—In a word. Oh—the heart that truly loves—Never forgets. Love is the root of creation—God's essence. Love will find—Its way. For love is heaven—And heaven is love. Love's reign—Is eternal. True love is the gift—Which God has given. MME. MERRI.

Fashionable frocks call for light garnitures of gray and brilliant effects. This brings into use bands, motifs, tassels and such shapes as corsage girdles, tiny yokes fitting around a low neck, jacket and tunic shapes, and so on. These are all of crystal, pearl, rhinestone and jet effects, and many pendants are seen. Fringes are used very effectively and are of beads in crystal, pearl, silk and beads, chenille, ribbon, fur and other materials. Pendants and tassels of beads are of every size, shape and color, and are used wherever one can be placed, either for use or for ornament. Some of these tassels measure 27 inches and are of rhinestone, crystal and pearl. Black and white net bands are embroidered in beads and silk and in the rich but subdued Persian, Turkish and Chinese colors and designs. Cascade effects on bands and floundings are also of beads. Steel is used with jet. Floral bands used on net dancing frocks have larger roses of satin or chiffon and smaller forget-me-nots. These trimmings used to keep to one color, but now several colors are combined, and these bands are used on flouces, top of the neck, lower edge of sash ends and sometimes a row around the girdle. Some net embroidered bands are 12 inches wide and reproduce Persian rug and cashmere shawl designs. MADE UP IN PLAIN MATERIAL Morning Blouse an Attractive Garment, Made Up With the Latest Styles in Trimming. Here we show a suitable style for a plain material; it is simply made and has a prettily-cut right front, with a large velvet button sewn in the tail above waist.

UNUSUAL BAG FOR EVENING Paisley, Combined With White Satin in Rectangular Shape, Forms a Pretty Accessory. A most attractive and good-looking evening bag could be made with a piece of Paisley, combined with white satin. Make the bag in a rectangular shape, a trifle longer than it is wide, and also slightly wider at the bottom than the top. Less than one-half of the bag and the envelope-shaped flap are made of white satin, while the Paisley form the remainder, extending up the sides to over one-half the depth of the bag. The bag is lined with white satin and finished all around the edges with a white silk cord, a knot of white silk cord also covers the fastening of the flap. The handle of the bag is made of the white cord braided. The Paisley carries out the effect of the Oriental coloring and the bright, rich tones now so much in vogue. Any one possessing a small piece of Chinese or Japanese embroidery could combine it with a harmonious piece of satin, after the manner described above, making a very rich-looking and unusual evening bag.

(Dear of the School of Journalism of the University of Missouri). RUSSIA-A NEW NATION aids in the transformation of Russia. Before the emancipation of the serfs the land around a village was held in common. The village assembly annually divided the fields among the families of the village for the purpose of cultivation. With the products of this cultivation each family must support itself. Under the present system communal ownership has been theoretically abolished but, in the more remote districts, not practically. Communal cultivation still, in many places, exists. In the villages of northern and central Russia the whole of the female population and about one-half of the male inhabitants are habitually occupied in cultivating the communal land or the land allotted to them. The arable part of this land is divided into three large fields, each of which is cut up into long, narrow strips. The first field is reserved for the winter grain—rye, which in black bread, uninviting in appearance, but neither unwholesome nor unpalatable, forms the principal food of the rural population. In the second field is raised oats for the horses and buckwheat for food of the men and women. The third lies fallow and is used in summer as pasture for the cattle. The value of rotation of crops has been long known and practiced in Russia. The tri-ennial system is very simple. The field which is used this year for raising winter grain will be used next year for raising summer grain and in the following year it will lie fallow. Every family in the two fields which it has under cultivation has one or more of the long, narrow strips or belts into which they are divided. The change going on from the serf-labor system to a free labor situation may be compared, to a certain extent, to the change in the United States, where free labor succeeded slave labor. "If the serfs had a great many ill-defined obligations to fulfill," commented Sir Donald Mackenzie Wallace, an Englishman who has spent A Russian Women Farm Laborers. many years in Russia, "such as the carting of the master's grain to market, the preparing of his firewood, supplying of him with eggs, chickens, home-made linen and the like—they had, on the other hand, a great many ill-defined privileges. They grazed their cattle during a part of the year on the manor land; they received firewood and logs for their huts; and, in times of famine, they could look to their master for support. Now all this is changed. The serf must buy everything he uses. Besides this, from an economic point of view, village life has been revolutionized. Formerly the members of a peasant family obtained from their ordinary domestic resources nearly all they required. Their domestic animals were bred at home and their agricultural implements manufactured at home, except where iron was required. Little money was in use or needed. Very different is the present condition. Home industries have been killed by the big factories and everything must be bought." But with the change has come—freedom. The Russian peasant, "bowed with the weight and woe of centuries," is beginning to stand erect. The peasantry is passing through a period of transition. The peasant is learning the use of liberty and, though slowly, is improving the conditions of the village, which, in Russia, means rural life. The farm adviser, who is here unfortunately too much of a buereacruit, is helping the peasant to help himself. The adviser is generally employed by a large landed proprietor who wishes to obtain greater returns from his land, but in certain parts of Russia the local governments have set farm advisers successfully to work. While the establishment of factories is making inroads upon the rural labor, the Russia of today is and, doubtless, the Russia of tomorrow will be an agricultural nation. Hence the efforts to increase the agricultural products by better seed and improved implements are initiated or encouraged by the local assemblies, interesting survivals of self-government in a land of autocracy. These villages or provincial assemblies—Zemstvos—in some districts have established depots Nijni-Novogorod, Russia. The farm adviser has arrived in Russia. The factory grows in number, variety and amount of product and efficiency. The communal system of peasant proprietorship is crumbling away. The Duma—a national parliament with clipped wings—has come. These significant new facts, with others related thereunto, are transforming IIII Russia. It was a handful of scattered tribes yesterday. It comprises one-seventh of the world's land surface today, a Muscovite giant sprawling across two continents, and possesses one-ninth of the world's population. It was agricultural yesterday; today the factory is taking labor from the farm and building great cities. It was a land of serfs yesterday and today all Russia is freed from serfdom. Farming was carried on yesterday with the rudest implements and today there is American agricultural machinery in the newly-cleared fields of the North and on the wind-swept steppes of the South. It was an absolute monarchy yesterday tempered by assassination and today, thanks to the fright which revolution and threatened revolution caused to the Czar's advisers, it has a Duma, with limited powers and partial free-speech, and a partially free press and a modicum of manhood suffrage.

The ikon, picture-image of a saint, has prominent and honored place everywhere, in public buildings, in railway cars, in hotel rooms, on the corners of the streets. Religion, in its outward manifestation at least, occupies large space in the life of the Russian. The palaces of the rulers are next shown, from the splendid Winter Palace on the Neva, in St. Petersburg—a capital, made to order, like Berlin and Madrid, and with malice aforethought,—to the Palace of the Kremlin at the ancient and holy capital city of Moscow with its Red Staircase stained with blood. Again the visitor is shown the galleries, where Russia, like older and more advanced Western Europe, has gathered its stolen art treasures or, as a climax, the Moscow gallery, with the masterful creations of the Russian artist, Verestchagin, arguments unanswerable against the syndicate slaughter men call war. But when cathedral and palace and painting have been seen the real Russia, a moving picture of progress, economic and political, lies beyond. Peasants Becoming Artisans. The Russian peasant—muzhik—with the coming of the factory, has, in many sections of the empire, become a peasant-artisan. He works on the farm part of the year and in the factory in the town at other times. Often he leaves the farm to the women, old men and boys, and spends practically the entire twelve months at the factory, only visiting his farm home at long intervals. Russian manufacturing began with the iron foundries which were designed to make cannon and other munitions of war. It was soon extended to include the manufacture of woolen goods, cotton goods and, latterly, all the products employed in western civilization. Foreign capital, at first largely dominant in all Russian manufacturing, has been gradually succeeded by Russian capital. Most of the great factories are now owned and operated entirely by Russians. The development of the factory, by creating a necessity for more workmen in the cities and factory districts, has caused a change in the farm conditions. This result was accompanied by certain changes in the village or communal life which are Serfdom vs. Freedom. in which improved implements and better seed are sold at moderate prices on installments, introduced elementary instruction in agriculture in the schools, established credit societies and village banks. The peasant, though slow to take advantage of these aids to progress, is gradually coming to see their possibilities and to make use of them. Authorities Against Progress. A fruitful cause of delay in Russia's progress is the opposition of the authorities, under which general phrase may be included the dignitaries of the Orthodox Church, the nobility and the bureaucracy. The indifference of the majority of the peasantry to any change and, indeed, its frequent revolt against change, also hinders progress. The Young Men's Christian Association, for example, finds no opportunity to gain place for its work in Russia, except in St. Petersburg, where it conceals itself under a foreign name and has no Bible classes, save as the Orthodox priests give an occasional lecture. Factory inspection was resented by factory employees, as well as employers. When one inspector recommended that the workmen be provided with individual sleeping cots instead of being given beds together in a large dormitory room—the manufacturer, frequently bringing labor from a long distance, must house the laborer—the workmen rebelled, asking: "Must we be cooped up like cattle in stalls?" The serfs were slow in realizing their freedom and are, in the outlying districts, as devoted to their former masters, as the old-time darky slaves in America. A domestic serf, vowing a pilgrimage if her master recovered from a dangerous illness, walked to Solovetsk, on the White Sea, 2,000 miles, in fulfillment of the vow. The bureaucrats intertwined with the reactionary element of the Orthodox Church form the chief obstacle to rapid or radical reform. They fear loss of power and prestige as well as position. Representatives of the provincial assemblies met secretly in Moscow to discuss non-political measures of economic reform for Russia and were sent home by the government. The Czar's Fair Promises. In the depression and revolt which followed the defeats of the Russo-Japanese war, the Council of Ministers yielded to the popular demand and sought to allay popular discontent by issuing a manifesto which declared the Czar's "inflexible resolutions:" "To confer on the population the immovable foundations of civil liberty, including inviolability of person, liberty of conscience and freedom of speech, together with the right of holding public meetings and forming associations." "To include in the State Duma representatives of the unenfranchised classes." "To lay down as an absolute rule that no law could be valid without the approval of the State Duma and that the deputies should be able to take part in supervising the authorities so as to ensure their acting in conformity with the laws." Duma Crippled but Progressing. The Russians took the Czar and his councillors at their word and elected what was called "the duma of the national indignation," representative of all classes, for your true Russian is at heart considerable of a democrat. He does not agree with the French philosopher who preferred to be ruled by one lion of good family rather than one hundred rats of his own species. The first Duma sought really to govern Russia, which frightened officialdom, and the Duma was dissolved. Then came a second Duma, which a Conservative ridiculed as "the Duma of the national ignorance," which did nothing, and a third which was of higher character and more constructive. With each succeeding election, while the bureaucrats seek to cripple the Duma's power and control its actions to suit their own ends, the spirit of freedom grows and measurable progress toward popular government has been made. Entire freedom of conscience has not been obtained, as witness the attacks upon the Jews, not altogether religious persecution it may be noted. Entire liberty of speech is not yet, as testify the suppression of public meetings and the confiscation of newspapers which make war upon the government. The Duma is not free and there is no ministry responsible either to the people, as in the United States, or to the Parliament, as in Great Britain. But the progress toward better conditions is being made more rapidly each year. The press, liberal in tone in all the large cities, is a power for progress. In Moscow, Russia's greatest journal, owned by an able journalist, thirty years ago, a Russian peasant, came to the Holy City with a single rouble for his entire capital, leads the continuous campaign toward moderate republicanism. A Great Nation in the Making. "The giant is blind, but thinking, And his locks are growing fast!" The Russian peasanty are strong of intellect and body, generous, hospitable in the extreme, good-humored, deeply religious. With education and freedom they will outrank many other peoples who have had more prominent and honored place in history. A great nation is in the making in Russia, greater, it may well be believed, than the outside world realizes—great, not merely because of the immensity of Russian territory and the number of its inhabitants, but great because of the strength and character of its people. And upon the Russian peasant is the new and Greater Russia to be builtled. In his own reverent phrase—dal Bog—God grant it may be so! (Copyright 1914, by Joseph B.

PRESIDENT GOES TO JAIL SAYS WHEN WALL STREET STACKS CARD AGAINST YOU, THE END COMES. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Memphis, Tennessee.—With the discovery that of $527,867 listed as actual cash on hand when the bank closed its doors, $410,000 was represented by personal checks of the president, C. Hunter Raine, now imprisoned, charged with embezzlement, the amount of the apparent discrepancy in the accounts of the Mercantile Bank advanced to more than $1,000,000. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF The exact amount will not be known until the audit being made under the direction of J. L. Hutton, state superintendent of banks, is completed, which will require several days. Raine maintains silence. When arraigned on a warrant charging embezzlement, he entered a formal plea of guilty and elected to go to jail, declining the proffer of friends to arrange $250,000 bail. Representatives of other banks here issued statements declaring that the suspension of the Mercantile Bank was without effect on their institutions. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY According to a statement made up Saturday, the Mercantile Bank held deposits of $1,381,525, of which approximately $340,000 was in savings accounts. In addition, $160,000 in certificates of deposit were outstanding. About 2,000 commercial and 4,000 saving accounts were carried. Raine had no comment to make on the bank's affairs other than to admit his guilt and absolve his fellow-officers of implication. "My life is spent," he told a friend. "When Wall street stacks the cards against you the end is there."

FIFTIETH YEAR OF PYTHIANISM Program for Golden Jubilee Celebration at Washington, Fek 10 Boston.—The program of the golden jubilee celebration of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, at Washington, Feb. 19, in observation of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the fraternity was announced by George W. Penniman, secretary of the Golden Jubilee Commission. The order was instituted in 1864 at Washington, where two of the organizers, Abran Van der Veer and Edward S. Kimball, still live. The program includes a reception by President Wilson at the White House; an address on "Fraternity" by Secretary of State Bryan, past chancellor of the Pythian Lodge at Lincoln, Neb., and speeches by Walter B. Richie of Lima, Ohio, past supreme chancellor; Mrs. Ida N. Johnson of Central City, Colo., and a number of others.

LANE CALLS FOR MEETING Denver.—A conference of Western governors to devise new financial plans for stimulating the growth of new irrigation projects and effecting solidity of existing irrigation securities in the West is proposed by Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane in a letter received by Governor Ammons. That irrigation development has reached a stage of stagnation in the West through faulty promotion where future prosperity demands drawing upon state or national funds are facts emphasized in Lane's letter. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver Governor Ammons replied immediately to the secretary that a conference will be welcomed and proposes that it be held in conjunction or immediately after the Western conference of governors to be held in Denver in March, the exact date of which has not yet been fixed. Boy Accidentally Killed. Trinidad.—John Warrick, 13, was accidentally killed while hunting with four other boys. Slain Wife and Girl Suicide Burled. New York.—Two funerals, the aftermath of the Manning tragedy which cost two lives and wrecked two homes, were held in Newark. One of them, in a fashionable Newark church, was for the wife who was slain through another's love for her husband. The other, in a dingy little mortuary chapel in Orange, was for her slayer, the despairing mother who took two lives in a fruitless effort to smooth the path of her nameless child eighteen months old. .
