PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Railroad Accommodations For Negroes VOL. XX. Railroad commo For SPECIAL TO COLORADO STATESMAN Editor: I sent you last week copies of a number of letters which I had received from the officials of some of the leading railways of the country in regard to the conditions under which colored people are required to travel in the South. If the readers of your paper have been interested in reading the letters already printed they will perhaps, care to see this second installment of the correspondence which, I believe, with what has already been printed, covers all the railways doing business in the Southern States: Mr. C. V. Johnson, President of the Norfolk and Western Railway Company replies as follows: "I have read your article and I apprehend that there is some cause for criticism as outlined by you. Whether or not this applies to the Norfolk & Western Railway I am at this moment unable to advise definitely. Permit me to suggest that in presenting matters of this character to the public that it might be well to be more specific and not include all the railroads that perhaps have reasonably well provided the same conditions for the colored people as they have for the white people. I know that in some instances the railroads have endeavored to do this and I further know that generally speaking it is the purpose of the executive officers of the railroads which operate in the States in which the separation of the races is made necessary in traveling, to do this, and great pains have been taken and a very considerable amount of money expended to bring about a condition that complies with the law, and all should not be condemned for the failure of some. I may write you further regarding this matter at a later date." Mr. W. J. Craig, Passenger Traffic, Manager of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company says: "It is the desire of the Atlantic Coast Line to treat all of its patrons with fairness and to provide accommodations in accordance with the patronage received and not discriminate between them. As a Southern man I have only the best interests of your race at heart and have noted with a great deal of interest the wonderful pro, ```markdown ``` --- gress and development that they are making. I invite your criticism from time to time of our service with a view of correcting any conditions that it may be possible for us to do so." Mr. George W. Stevens, President of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company, says; "I have read with interest your pamphlet entitled Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance? One hundred copies of this article have been received and distributed among the officials and in the employees' reading rooms. As you are well aware, both in Virginia and Kentucky, the railway lines furnish the same accommodations for colored passengers as are furnished white passengers and it is a requirement that these accommodations shall be equal in every way to those furnished the white race. If it comes to your knowledge that equal service is not being given, I shall be glad to hear from you personally. In the other three States through which this company operates, West Virginnia, Ohio, and Indiana, segregation laws do not exist, and the Negro is accommodated in the same cars as the white race. As to employment by the railway companies the Negro is accorded the same treatment as the white man, and in some particular classes of employment is preferred to the white man. I am deeply interested in the work that you are doing and am quite convinced that it is along the right lines. If in any way I can aid you, do not hesitate to call upon me." TAKING THE MATTER UP Mr. R. Lancaster Williams, President of the Georgia and Florida Railway writes: "I am in receipt of yours of the 13th instant and copy of pamphlet entitled Is The Negro Having a Fair Chance? I have read the marked article and also your letter and I am taking the matter up with Vice-president Duer of the Georgia and Florida Railway." NO DISCRIMINATION ON THE MAIN LINE Mr. C. B. Ryan, General Passenger Agent of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, writes: "I do not feel that criticism as to the discrimination between the two races in character of equipment provided for their use in travel can justly be made against the Seaboaad Air State Hist & Nat Hist Boards State House ANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO ITS WHO ADV NAL OF THE VER COLORADO SATURDAY.

The facilities accorded the colored passengers are greater within ratio between white and colored travel. The accommodations are identical in every respect. On some of our principal local trains, take as an illustration the train leaving Atlanta for Monroe, N. O., a distance of 275 miles, the car which is used for colored passengers eastbond is used for white passengers westbound—there being no arrangement for turning the train at its destination. On some of our branch lines and some of the minor accommodation trains where the character and extent of travel does not justify the higher class equipment, the accommodations are not as good for either M.

Mr. G. W. Pidrock. President of Georgia Northern Railway Company, replies as follows: "I have yours of the 9th inst., enclosing a marked copy of pamphlet containing an article which you recently contributed to the 'Century Magazine.' and have noted with interest what is said on pages PRESIDENT through his persistent efforts, in een successful in obtaining better ople through the South, and who tantly to ill-conditions until they 13, 14 and 15.

New York, March 11. About 100 colored families were made homeless and several persons were slightly injured in a fire which destroyed four tenement houses in West 134th Street today and then spread to five other tenements in the rear. The fire caused a property loss of about $200,000. Some of the firemen because of the recent heavy fall of snow were obliged to abandon their apparatus and reach the scene on street cars. Mr. Thomas A Stewart, a Negro, has been appointed chief messenger in the United States patent office, a $1,000 job, succeeding a white man, who had held the position for fifteen years. Mr. Stewart was considered the best equipped man for the work, having been a messenger in the Patent Office for twenty-five years and is said to be the first colored man appointed chief messenger in the Patent Office. Atlanta, Ga., March 12—Roscoe Thompson, colored, charged with a criminal assault upon a young white woman, was freed after a trial before Judge Ben H. Hill, of the criminal division of the superior court on Tuesday. Thompson was placed on trial Monday morning, and the principal witness against him was the young woman, who told how, as she was walking along East Fair street, a Negro tossed a rope around her neck and, dragging her into an alley, assaulted her. She identified Thompson as her assailant, but Attorney Burton Smith, who represented the compartments for colored smokers the same as the white cars. Toilets facilities were also given consideration, likewise ventilation, lights, etc. Would say that we at all times try to give the two races the same accommodations but, of course, you will readily understand that there are still when we have to put other than the new regular coaches in service. Even then an effort is made to treat all alike and conductors are instructed not to permit white people to ride in the cars assigned for colored people, and vice versa." (Signed) BOOKER T.

Houston, Texas, March 10.—The board of managers of the grand lodge, United Brothers of Friendship of Texas, assembled in the U. B. F. building in this city with the following officers present: W. F. Bledsoe, Marshall, president; F. W. Gross, Houston, secretary; Joseph Nichols, Houston, treasurer.

A number of cases up for settlement were disposed of satisfactorily to all concerned. The board set aside $20,000 to pay death claims for the quarter. The secretary reported the assets of the society at $255,000 with net resources of $135,000. THE MEXICAN SITUATION The American white man is reaping what he is sowing in the United States. They can now realize how the colored man feels always being lynched, burned, maltreated, robbed, outraged and denounced on all sides, because they happen to be the descendants of slaves or were slaves. As soon as the American white man ceases to heap injustice and outrages upon the black man, they can look for better treatment at the hands of others. The Mexicans have no more respect for the white man in their country than the white man has for the Negro in the United States. Our advice to the American white man is to get out of old Mexico and stay out. They are not down there for any good to the Mexicans, just to rob, steal and cheat them out of their land and resources. When the white man learns to respect their own people in the United States they can ask people of other countries to respect them.—Topeka Plaindealer.

It has been estimated that about 45 per cent. of the disease and death of the people of the United States can be prevented by the application of modern methods of sanitation, said Booker T. Washington in a recent address. If this is true of the People of the United States as a whole, I think it is safe to say that at least 65 per cent. of the disease and death among negroes is due to causes that can be prevented. I say this because, as everyone knows, the death rate is much larger at the present time among negroes than among whites. Particularly is this true among the negro population of the larger southern cities. What then is the remedy? I have said that in this generation at least the negro will be best off, from every point of view, in the rural districts of the south. We cannot, however, expect that he will remain in the country districts contented, happy and prosperous without the same means of civilization that other races enjoy. We cannot expect the negro to remain in the country if he has little opportunity to educate his children; if the schools are in session only two or three months in the year. Another remedy for the present condition of negro health is education. The reason that so large a number of the people of my race are ill and inefficient is because they are ignorant. Students are trained at Hampton try school work of the south as introduce work in cooking, sewing, making, etc. The man in the picture is an ex-ers at Hampton how to make split w A negro woman who may be one hundred and twenty or one hundred and thirty years old and is certainly more than one hundred years, has been discovered living at Trotter, near Greensburg.

I look forward to the time when every city and every town of the south will do what some other cities have already done—started campaigns of education along lines of health and sanitation which shall not be confined to the white portion of the population alone, but shall extend to the black portion also. When I was in Great Britain some years ago, I discovered that the people of that great country were spending annually not far from $80,000,000 in an attempt to rescue drunkards, gamblers, loafers, the misfits of life which make up so large a portion of the population of the great English cities. In a word, they were spending that tremendous sum in trying to get people up out of the ditch. The masses of the negro people in the south, with all their weaknesses and handicaps, are not yet in the ditch. How much simpler, wiser and more economical to spend some millions of dollars to save these people before they fall instead of waiting to save them after they are already lost. During one year 1,500,000 volumes are called for and supplied by the British museum.

William Kfoste, a street car motor man of Chicago, was late to work one day recently for the first time in 20 years. He drove a mule car six years, before electricity was put into use. The activities of the Afro-American race have not been confined to the professions, however. He has done well on the farm. There are 880,837 afro-American farmers in the southern states. In 1900 the value of farms (land and buildings) was $380,280,968. According to the census of 1910 it had increased to $900,132,334, or 136.7 per cent. in ten years. An example of the success colored farmers have wrested from the soil is furnished in the case of J. G. Groves, the "potato king." He reached western Kansas about 20 years ago with 50 cents in his pocket and is now worth more than $100,000. He has succeeded in raising a larger number of bushels of potatoes to the acre than any other man in Kansas. Berlin is said to be the quietest city in Europe, if not in the world. All unnecessary noises are prohibited. It is reported in the London Times that the government of Tunis is about to establish a reserve to give refuge to the rapidly disappearing fauna of that country. It will include about 4,000 acres of wild, mountainous country and an adjoining marsh of 5,000 acres. Last year we bought $44,000,000 worth of lace from abroad, about double what we bought about ten years ago. Art works from Europe have set us back some $60,000,000, a new high record. EHRHART TO DEMAND $270,000 FROM CAPITOL MANAGERS. Colorado Road Commissioner to Sue for Amount Loaned in April, 1891, to Finish State House. Denver.-Suit to recover from the state capitol board $270,000 borrowed from the internal improvement fund twenty-three yeas ago, with which to complete the capitol, and none of which has been returned, will be filed by State Highway Commissioner T. J. Ehrhart in the Supreme Court. The complaint is being prepared by Norton Montgomery, assistant attorney general, and will be filed by Attorney General Farrar on behalf of Ehrhart, who is custodian of the internal improvement fund at this time by reason of being the state highway commissioner. The discovery that this comfortable roll of state money belonged to his department was made by Commissioner Ehrhart several months ago while digging through the statute books of Colorado's early legislatures. There he found that by an act of the Eighth General Assembly the sum of $150,000 had been transferred in April, 1891, from the internal improvement fund to the capitol board to be used in furnishing the capitol building the completion of which had been delayed many weeks for lack of money. The interest was placed at $1/2 per cent annually and in a flourishing sentence, characteristic of the oratory of the day, "faith of the state" was "pledged to return each and every cent of the loan." $250,000 Collected as Inheritance Tax. Denver.—The estimated taxes on inheritance to the state to December 1, 1914, is $250,000, according to the report made to Governor Ammons by Leslie E. Hubbard, inheritance tax tax appraisal. Since the law of 1913 went into effect $70 estates have been assessed, collected and settled, and 500 are under advisement. The following figures are given: Receipts from December 1, 1912, to November 30, 1913, show $141,744.47, and expenses for same period, $8,043.22. From December 1, 1913, to March 1, 1914, receipts $167,873.95; and exes, $2,429.68, making the following totals: Receipts, $309,748.42, and expenses, $10,535.90; assessed and not collected, $45,327.53. Five hundred estates are in the course of settlement, the estimated tax on which is $100,000, making a grand total of $455,075.95; the total receipts on assessed but not collected being $355,075.95. Colorado Wool Valued at $2,000,000 Colorado Wool Valued at $2,000,000 Denver.—Predictions of the value of the Colorado wool clip for 1914 place the figure at $2,000,000, and in some instances even higher. A peculiarity of the expected financial returns from wool is the fact that gains in prices have ben made under free wool. The prices on which bids are being made for this year's clip range from 1 to 2 cents per pound higher than a year ago. Eastern buyers have already contracted for fully $50,000 worth of Colorado wool, while some growers have declined to contract their wool at 13 cents or 14 cents, believing the price will go higher. Shortage in the supply of stored wool, due principally to the fact that manufacturers used their supplies in anticipation of cheaper wool under the new tariff law, is given as the reason for the advance in prices. Date for Hearing on Coal Rates Fixed. Date for Hearing on Coal Rates Fixed. Denver—The hearing before the state railroad commission in the case of the Greeley Commercial club against the Colorado & Southern and Union Pacific railroads for alleged excessive coal freight rates between the northern Colorado coal fields and Greeley has been completed. The argument was set for March 24. Denver's Income Tax $500,000. Denver—Between $400,000 and $500,000, according to estimates, totals the income tax returns from Denver individuals and corporations to the internal revenue collector. Reports were made by less than 4,000 individuals. The secretary of the treasury estimated $768,000 for this district. Kenehan Estimates Revenues. Denver—State Auditor Roady Kenehan estimated that revenues are in sight for the payment of 50 per cent of the third-class appropriations made by the Legislature during the present year. All first and second-class appropriations will be paid. Bronze Clock on Arch of Statehouse. Denver.—In the central arch of the north entrance of the capitol building facing the intersection of Colfax avenue and Sherman street a big bronze clock, given by the Sherman Avenue Improvement Company, was erected. State Files Reply in Henwood Case. Denver.—A brief reply to the appeal of Harold F. Henwood under sentence of death for the killing of George E. Copeland, has been filed in the State Supreme Court by Frank C. West, assistant attorney general. The document is a printed argument answering the reasons cited by Henwood's attorneys for a new trial. The state argues upon their merits the numerous assignments of error cited by Henwood as cause for a new trial. 100 MUTINEERS SHOT TO DEATH MEN WHO REBELLED AT SERVICE IN HUERTA ARMY ARE LINED UP AND EXECUTED. MEXICAN SENT TO LIND DICTATOR REPORTED DESIROUS OF REOPENING NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES. Mexico City.-General Jiminez Castro, recalled military governor of Jojutla, arrived here and reported to the war minister that more than one hundred mutinous federal soldiers were lined up against a wall before firing squads and executed. An effort was made by President Huerta to suppress the facts of the wholesale slaughter, but General Castro told his story in the presence of witnesses who do not doubt its accuracy. General Castro reported that after the mutineers, who numbered about a thousand and were reinforced by Zapata adherents, had abandoned Jojutla, they were pursued by the federalals. Many of them were killed in battle, the prisoners being executed, It required less than half an hour for the slaughter of the men who rebelled at service in the army of General Huerta. The firing squad worked rapidly and pumped bullets into the bodies of their former comrades as fast as they were lined up. Bodies were piled high along the wall when the last squaws were brought out, and those going to their death stumbled over the forms of those who had faced the rifles of the executioners only a few minutes before. With the last mutineer dead the bodies were buried in one trench. Forced by the increasing seriousness of the situation in Mexico from a financial rather than a military viewpoint, President Huerta at last appears to be ready to resume negotiations with John Lind, President Wilson's personal representative, which were broken off last August. The minister of foreign affairs, José Lopez Portillo y Rojas, mentioned as probable successor to Huerta, has been directed to reopen unofficial diplomatic exchanges with Lind and for that purpose went to Vera Cruz. STATE TO TRY SIX SUSPECTS. Men Charged With Killing Neil Smith Turned Over to Civil Authorities. Trinidad.—Six of the men held by the military in connection with the killing of Neill Smith, a Forbes miner, who was clubbed to death and found on the right of way of the Colorado & Southern, will be turned over to the civil authorities and formally charged with the murder, according to a statement given out by militia executives who conducted the investigation. The men held are Joseph Gill, president of the Forbes Miners' union; John Garfield Hancock, William Watts, Joe Remus, Charles Kelly and John Ure. Sixteen others who were included in the original roundup by the military have been released. Parisian Mobs Laud Killer. Paris, While sporadic demonstrations against her husband were occurring in the streets of Paris, Madame Calllaux, who has brought France to the verge of a political crisis by slaying Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro, sat on a little iron cot in her cell in St. Lazare prison brooding and weeping. A big demonstration by the Royalists is expected when the funeral of Calmette is held. FEDERAL LEAGUE BOARD NAMED President Gilmore Names Men to Run Afafirs in, 1914. Chicago. —President Gilmore announced the selection of the following board of managers for the Federal League to have control of league affairs for 1914: Charles Weeghman, Chicago; J. Edward Krause, Indianapolis; Edward Steininger, St. Louis; C. C. Madison, Kansas City; W. A. Kerr, Pittsburg; Walter Mullen, Buffalo; Walter Ward, Brooklyn, and Harry Goldman, Baltimore.

Three men and one woman are known to have lost their lives when the west wall of the Missouri Athletic Club crashed down upon the seed shop, burying a score or more persons beneath the ruins. Twelve persons are known to have been injured. Three bodies have been recovered and the fourth definitely located.

THE PRESENT ISSUE. Now that the telephone question has reached its present stage it is high time for us to have a word to say, as from our twenty-five years’ journalistic experience in this state among different races, classes and conditions of peo- ple, we feel it a duty incumbent on us, the leading colored journal of the West, to offer certain information to the business organizations in our state and city. We have tried to impress again and again the necessity of the white business man taking his colored brother into his confidence on the various issues of the day, as not only does he fill the role of an important factor contributing to the income of his business, but his willingness to sub- seribe his efforts to anything for the betterment of his fellow man, black or white; his honesty of purpose, his integrity and undeceiving tendency seem to fit him for the position of a real and live participant in any undertaking, small or gigantic, which tends to the progress of business in the community in which he lives. In the advertisement of the Telephone Company we notéd the following paragraphs: “Letters sent to telephone users in details” (in reference to the Schirmer’s report) then, “answer requested from YOU, the people who pay the bills,” which expressions we were glad to mote, as we agree with the worthy Judge Dennison, that he believed that the company was doing all it could to expedite in the adjustment of matters and would not allow them to be persecuted as was apparent. But we lay hold of this opportunity to remind our telephone heads that the Colorado Statesman is the organ of in- formation to not less than ninety per cent of the colored users of their tele- phone, whether by way of business or residence, ete., and while some of our people take the daily papers yet the majority anxiously await the receipt of our paper as it not only publishes the week’s news, but also the latest import- ant topics of the day, coming to us at the moment of going to press. The general action engaged by our business men and organizations seems to resolve itself to the LAST MOMENT, and they blame our people when they do not get the same result as the other side whom they invariably take into their confidence, starting them early and giving them sufficient notifica- tion that they can intelligently deliberate on the questions before them. It is not our motto to join the throng of those who eagerly seek for blood and who unthinkingly and unhesitatingly do anything to harass and embarass the business man—“for as the writer puts it, blood will have tenfold blood;” but we ever strive (o advocate all righteous actions beneficial to any people and any race, and herein suggest to our various corporations and organizations (though white) the necessity of giving the timely intimation to their colored patrons through the columns of this journal of the leading matters of the day, which affect them in due time for their consideration, so that they can sanely and honestly arrive at a safe conclusion in their action, as there is more than ordinary demand for this paper, the subscribers of which being aware of the fact that it contains thought for all the people, of the people and by the peo- ple. “A stitch in time saves nine.” THE PRACTICAL IN NATURE. N SE tree th ¢ called attention to the wonderful achievements and| of ther ought to come tovour race by keeping in touch with} gorged ovements if only in a theoretical way. ‘There is noth-| and, w e and interesting than the study of nature when pur-| £74 je Seat Vaelecei chai inane MTTE LON LO GYALCH THE an ane ler Last week we called attention to the wonderful achievements and the benefits that ought to come tovour race by keeping in touch with these practical movements if only in a theoretical way. There is noth- ing more valuable and interesting than the study of nature when pur- sued in the right way and with diligent attention. To watch the man- ner and process of plant growth is to quicken and sharpen the powers of observation, cultivate the intelleet and develop and foster respect for intelligent labor, . What is better to know than that plants are guided and developed in their progress of growth by intelligent direction, and to understand how they are nourished by the soil, stimulated by the rain, invigorated by the air and fed by the atmosphere. In order to obtain the greatest benefit from the study of agriculture, the practical and scientific sides must be combined. ‘The Why? ‘This is the all-important thing for this same principle may be embodied with certain modifications in a thous- and other things. Every child, whether boy or girl, should be taught the application of the scientific principles which causes the soil to re- spond readily to the demand and wish of the tiller and the results obtained should be noted. ‘This is the beginning of science on any sub ject. Our public schools, and especially in the Southland, could do no better thing than to emphasize the importance of good farming by giv- ing the subject equal place in the curriculum with arithmetic and gram- mar, because in soil study we have open to us an intelligent chapter in the great book of nature in which the goodness and wisdom of God is plainly written. Reading Matter The home news; the doings of the people in this town; the gossip of our own community, that’s the first kind of reading matter you want. It is more important, more interesting to you than that given by the paper or mayazine from the outside world. It is the first reading matter : you should buy. Each issue of this paper gives to you just what you will consider The Right Kind of Reading Matter snysius, the hot lust for battle, the soft enticements of love found expres- ‘sion in Phrygian, Dorian and Lydian modes, with their appropriate instru- ments. | We all have heard musie that tended to put us to sleep. Probably most of us have heard music that kindled sudden anger, so that it required ‘considerable self-control not to murder the perpetrator. ‘That appeal to the calmer judgment was found in the placard in the western barroom, where the patrons were requested not to shoot the pianist, because he was doing the best he could. ‘There are seven chief virtues: Faith, hope, charity, prudence, temper- ance, chastity and fortitude, Pure music (apart from words accompanied by musical sounds) certainly may sustain faith, encourage hope and help fortitude. It might be even conceived that by superinducing a comfort- able frame of mind one would give an extra penny for sweet charity's ‘sake. But one would get no great lift in prudence from any music, how- ever slow and solemn, and “the great thirst” is quite independent of lofty emotions, Now there are seven deadly sins: Pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth. ‘The musical performer may be exposed to pride and envy. Jealousy is undoubtedly a great failing among artists of all kinds; perhaps especially among singers and instrumentalists, but Frau Musica ought not to be held responsible for these faults. ‘There are some kinds of music that would naturally lead to sloth— the music which Odysseus heard as he went by the land of the lotus eaters. This sensuous music made more swift and exciting causes the blood to flow more eagerly, sets the heart to beating and undoubtedly kindles to love. But so do moonlight, a buggy and a well tempered horse and the right girl. But would we do away with the moonlight? Would we people wooded solitudes with dragon-eyed chaperons? No, we would educate our young men and women to know the risks of freedom and opportunity, to exercise self-control and mutual respect. Most immorality, one might say all sexual immorality, comes from ignorance, and while music, in its excit- ing, stimulating, sensuous combinations of sounds, as for instance in lan- guishing waltz rhythms, fills the heart with voluptuous longings, it could never break down the solid dyke of “Thou shalt not” founded on right prin- ciples and true knowledge. * ‘The value of music as a ciyilizing influence, its power to bring people into harmony, its marvelous capacity for giving men and women pleasure, a million times outweigh its potentiality for arousing evil passions. If it did not have its elements of risk, it would be vastly less valuable. All good things may be perverted and be all the more dangerous because of their very virtues. A man who should swallow a cupful of liquid air would die of a sudden stomach ache, and the person who should ‘give loose reins to even his loftiest passions would become dangerous in any com- mpnity. Music undoubtedly sweeps some unbalanced people off their feet, but its general tendency is for the good of mankind. This seems to be the Ie y 3. et eee in modern times. 748 Ra-n-Mé ele the question of a long or short, mild or warm winter. He might have gone furthér and stated that the squirrel has not even the instinct to let the nut ripen properly on the tree. Anyone who has observed the habits of squirrels and, for that matter, any other animal that lays up a winter store of provender, will agree that the instinct for har- vesting is impractical and unbalanced in operation. Not only will a squirrel industriously gather green nuts from the tree that is yet in full leaf, but he will hide them where he never thinks of them again. Watch any park squirrel dispose of peanuts after he has gorged himself. His instinct prompts him to hide what he cannot eat and, with great show of economy, he buries his treasure, patting it down and leveling the earth over the hole. Does he ever return to this cache? Not your “provident” squirrel Like the “Bandarlog,” he is capable of not more than one process of mentality. Every spring house-cleaning activity in the parks discloses thousands of these buried hoards, put by with much display and forgotten the next moment. b few years. After years of observation and experience with men whose capital is their character I have come to the conclusion that it all depends upon the man. If he pas got it in him he will have no trouble in keeping straight; if he hasn't, it is only a question of time until someone has to fall back upon his bondsmen, But either because of the change in public sentiment or because of the greater restrictive agencies, or both, there is a little less crookedness in business every year, and some day the business of the bonding companies is going to yield bigger dividends because the general standard of honesty will be raised. fae i Ss2 neighborhood gossip gets down to work they might as well give up at once, unless they are good fighters. ‘The gossip never gives up.

To the Editor Colorado Statesman: Dear Sir; Born and raised among colored people, my grandfathers both slaveholders, I conceived the idea that the colored people were an inferior race and had many traits that merited the treatment they received. As a child I could not see any reason why it was considered legal to make slaves out of these people, neither could I understand why they insisted as a retaliation in abusing the whites, and confess I would not have indorsed slavery had I been of age. During my growth from youth to manhood I have been compelled to change my opinion as again and again I have had proofs of genuine manly and womanly characteristic features of my colored brethren and am convinced that they are desirable citizens and most valuable assets to any community. In Denver we have an enterprising, intelligent, honest set of colored people as a whole, whose records are to a great extent better than the whites. Even if they were born in the South they are intelligent enough to know that there are very few people living today who opposed the action taken on their behalf during the Civil War. Many of them are property owners, and contribute in a large measure, considering their numbers, to the treasury of the city and state. They deserve positions of responsibility because they are trustworthy citizens. I quote specially the case of Frances Tucker of 1861 Curtis street, who found a pocketbook containing a large sum of money in my telephone booth and promptly turned it over to my assistant manager without extracting one cent. You may say no one deserves credit for being honest, but I am sure the world would be revolutionized if the majority of people were like Frances. There are many people that need employees like Frances and you would be perfectly justified, Mr. Editor, in holding her up as a beautiful example of how honorable Denver colored people are. Hoping that you will continue the fight that you have been making against Race Prejudice, and while not a seeker after notoriety, I herein subscribe myself as being always a friend to merit and honesty, and will do anything righteously in the cause of the colored people. Believe me. Very truly, A BUSINESS MAN. Denver, Colo., March 14, 1914. CAMPBELL A. M. E. CHURCH. Corner 23rd and Lawrence St., James -Washington, Pastor.

(Adv.) Life Work Of Jerry Nash Walker We have been asked many times concerning the life work of J. N. Walker, President and Organizer of the Colorado African Colonization Company. In an address before the aforesaid company on April 18, 1911, Rev. W. C. Williams pays the following fitting tribute to the subject: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: To do justice to the subject assigned me, "The Life Work of Mr. J. N. Walker," is, I fear, almost beyond my ability to express in words or to portray with the pen. Of his labors through the organization known as The Colorado African Colonization Company, in behalf of our race, I can only know through personal observation and information. I wish to say, however, that I am unable to name the sleepless nights, the bitter disappointments and the personal sacrifices that have been necessary to keep this great work alive. It is only through hope against hope that strong hearts are supported. There are two kinds of hope, one of them an elusive hope that is a sort of a will-o-the-wisp which comes from an excited imagination. The other is a substantial hope, born of experience, tears and wrong. Patience worketh experience, and experience worketh hope. Phrenologists tell us that there is a natural organ of hopefulness whose function is to give an expectation of good things. Some have more of it, others have less, but all have some. It is essentially a human organ. Animals live in the present. No bird or beast tries to improve its conditions or make its tomorrow better than today. But man does this and his power to do it and the success he achieves is the record of his progress. Hope may often deceive us, but without it man could never have risen out of the savage state. Without hope there is no culture, no civilization, and no progress in wealth, art, science or literature. Forgetting the things behind us and reaching out for those before is the secret of human progress. Fear of evil may keep men from going backwards but only hope of something better can carry them on. True hope is that which is to think seriously, to plan and wait patiently, and then act. It is in no hurry; it does not expect instant success. True hope is very patient; it relies on the workings of immutable laws which are sure to bring success at last. The man who has these principles does not read fairy tales, but the biographies of those who have done great things. He sees how many difficulties they have encountered; how many disappointments they have met—and how often they were baffled. He sees how they had the patience of hope, how they tried again and again, how they learned lessons by every failure; and how, at last, when success came, they had conquered it fairly by honest, careful, thoughtful, persevering work. We look back at the great men of history—Socrates, John Bunyan, Luther, Milton, Washington and Lincoln. Commonly we think only of their successes, their whole career seems to us one steady triumph. But study their lives intimately, come close to them, then you will see how they fought their way against constant opposition, slander, hatred and failure, until their great successes were attained. It has not only been hope that has nerved Mr. Walker on. He has that class of energy that will not down. Energy is a force of character, an inherent power that imparts such concentration of will upon the realization of an idea as to impel it onward over the next gigantic barrier confronting it, or to crush every opposing foe that stands in the way of his triumph. Energy knows no failure, success is its unquestionable sequence. It will not hearken to the voice of discouragement; it never yields its purpose though it may perish beneath an avalanche of difficulties. It dies contending for its ideals. For every man who appears on the stage of human affairs, who can rule events, there are thousands who follow. To succeed in anything, one must be in earnest. The earnest men are in such minority in the world that their earnestness and zeal become at once a badge of their nobility. The world will open its ranks only as man forces his way. Men who are out of the old, hard-beaten path are never understood; they are in advance of the crowd and of their time. It is too often that men of this type are under-valued until they are off the stage of action. All great ideas are first criticized, then proved, then accepted. Mr. Walker and his idea of the Negro emigration is too far in advance for all men to appreciate. Some few men have looked at this mountain of emigration and tried to ascend its mighty steeps, but their faith failed them and they gave up in despair; but not so with Mr. Walker. Men have labored under favorable circumstances—and failed. Some have had money and friends at their command; but not so with him. It is most discouraging for a man, when he is working for the betterment of his people, to have them stand on one side of the way as he passes and say ungrateful things of his ideas, sneering at his efforts. But Mr. Walker has pushed onward and I suppose there have been times when he felt as if he stood alone with none to help, but back of it all was the power of a Mighty Hand which may be seen. He is called to do this work or he would long ago have given it up. While others have had paydays, he had none. While others had the clothing they wished, he was obliged to do the best he could. Others had bread, but sometimes he has walked the streets of our city, hungry. None but God and himself know the hardships he has experienced, the sacrifices he has made to give life to this cause. For twenty-six years he has carried this burden without hope of reward from his own people—the people he has been laboring for. But the clouds are breaking. The day has begun to dawn and we have come here this evening to rejoice with him in what appears to be the first fruits of his labors. May this be the beginning of the end of his great sacrifice. May every heartache that he has suffered, every tear that he has shed, return to him a hundredfold in blessings. May the God Who watches over us all give this great man the desire of his heart. And may we say to him: "No more shalt thou walk alone for we will be with thee." I will close my remarks with the beautiful words of the poet: "We have not wings, we cannot soar, But we have feet to scale and climb, By slow degrees, by more and more The cloudy summit of our time. The mighty pyramids of stone, That wedgelike cleave the distant air, When nearer seen and better known Are but gigantic flights of stairs. The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight; But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. More beyond, is not reached at a single bound But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by ro More beyond, is not reached at a single bound, But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by round." SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES Presiding A. M. Ward, worshipped with us last Sabbath morning and Dr R. S. Randolph preached a most excellent sermon, stirring the congregation to resolve a new to hold fast the faith once delivered to the saints. At the evening hour the pastor preached on the subject, "Five Reasons for Believing the Bible Is the Word of God." Brothers Chas. H. Fuller and Harlan L. Brooks of 2211 Marton, were won to the Christian faith, and brother E. S. Burnley, A. V. Gardner, 1115 Emerson, and Jas. Harrison, 1157 Santa Fé Drive, united with the church also. Our Ushers' Club and A. C. E. League brought together during the past week two remarkable gathering of young people. Both of these auxiliaries of the church come in for special mention for activities for our Easter rally. Sister Olivia Elliott, 4311 Clayton St., and a devout member of Shorter, fell and injured herself considerably on Thursday afternoon at the Union depot. We wish for her a speedy recovery. Special preparation is being made to make the coming of Dr. W. T. Vernon to Denver an extraordinary event in the social life of the city. Be sure to hear him at Shorter Monday evening, March 30th. The subjects of our pastor's sermons tomorrow will be, "Zachaeus, or God's and Man's Way of Finding Christ," at 11, and "the Kind of Food Upon Which to Grow a Man," at 7:30 p. m.

Mrs. Send is a widow, and past seventy. Mr. Seno acquired millions through ordinary channels of trade at Hokkaido, and was planning to invest part of his fortune in the banking business in his home town of Fuku-yama, when death spoiled his plans. The widow determined to carry out her husband's intentions. Tokio seemed to Mrs. Seno a more inviting field for business, and thither she went, accompanied by her adopted son, Inosuke Seno, and his wife and children. The Seno Bank of Commerce was organized with a capital of 500,000 yen, but not until after long and careful preparation. Mrs. Seno placed the adopted son in a national financial institution that he might be made familiar with financial affairs in all details and he then found an appointment in the revenue office in Hakodate. A favorable site for the bank was bought in the Tokyo suburb of Okubo, which had good facilities of communication. Permission to establish the bank finally were obtained little more than a year ago. It was started as a joint stock company in the family. Mrs. Seno became president and the adopted son managing director. Residing but a few blocks from the bank building, Mrs. Seno is in the president's office sharp on time every The life of Mary Dana Prang of Boston, Mass., has been a continual contribution to the sane education of the American public schools youngster. At seventy-seven years of age Mrs. Prang is still in the active fight for practical education. She is a perpetual progresser. W. H. And in all her progressions she has been a pioneer. First in art teaching, first in vocational education, and first now in her newest developer of young America—vocational guidance. Her record for 46 years' continuous teaching, lecturing and writing on art, educational and vocational subjects makes her opinion upon them of vital importance. "Art is the only possible means of developing a child's imagination," said Mrs. Prang during the course of an interview recently. "And to bring out a child's creative ability—every child has creative ability—his imagination must be trained. Art in the public schools should be a practical study, Emperor Francis Joseph has decided to meet the demands for court festivities with an evening dance at the palace at Schoenbrunn, but he has refused to countenance the idea of renewing the court ball in the Hofburg in Vienna. At the age of eighty-four the emperor finds a court ball too great a strain, for it involves a drive in the middle of the night back to the palace at Schoenbrunn, since the usual sleeping apartments in the evening dance at the palace at Schoenbrunn, but he has refused to countenance the idea of renewing the court ball in the Hofburg in Vienna. At the age of eighty-four the emperor finds a court ball too great a strain, for it involves a drive in the middle of the night back to the palace at Schoenbrunn, since the usual sleeping apartments in the Hofburg are not suitably heated in winter. There has been no court ball President Poincare has now completed a year as chief executive of the French republic. He has gained for himself the reputation of the most active man in France, and increased the popularity he so suddenly acquired ten fold. J. B. H. Breaking away from traditional etiquette M. Poincare has sought to associate himself with every class of French thought and endeavor. He has presided at hundreds of public banquets not only of the political and philanthropic organizations but also of the leading artistic, literary, and morning, ready to consult with her subordinates and consider the transactions of the day. No member of the staff is more punctual. Mrs. Seno is in many respects a woman of remarkable personality, and no one can meet her without being impressed by her character and discernment. With sparkling brown eyes, rosy cheeks and pearl-white teeth, she hardly looks her 70 years; while her simple dress of figured cotton stuff would never indicate that she was a woman of wealth. But her simple and unostentatious ways have a wholesome influence on her subordinates and on all who know her. Her husband, when alive, used to say: "Better a dress of clean cotton than a soiled one of silk." This principle of frugality characterizes all she does both in public and private life. In the operations of the bank nothing of any financial importance is ever done without her approval and direction. She is president in every sense; well as in name. When Mrs. Seno travels she usually goes third class. After she became a large shareholder in the railway she was presented with a first-class pass on the line, but she still went third. One of the railway officials ventured to remonstrate with her for this modesty, and she replied that as a part owner in the railway she felt that to some degree she was a host rather than a guest, and that she should leave the first-class cars for those who had tickets and were often driven to inferior cars for lack of accommodation. "Most of Mrs. Seno's friends," says a writer in the Japan Magazine, "are invested in concerns that promote national progress or some public good, and are designedly so invested. She is the ideal of what is meant in this country by a Japanese citizen. Mrs. Seno is thus a remarkable example of the type of woman which Japanese civilization can produce." It should be for all the children and not for a talented few. It should teach love of the beautiful and show the boy or girl how to interpret every day objects about him with his pencil and brush. Teach him to paint color schemes of his environment as he finds it—and then of imaginary surroundings. Girls especially should plan ideal homes from cellar to garret—a separate color scheme for each room. Both boys and girls should learn to recognize harmony in clothing. The class room decorations help very much in the child's education. Beautiful objects and artistic pictures all help to develop the imagination. Children appreciate beauty much more than many suppose. "This art training in the public schools should in no way mean turning out artists—but rather in making a foundation for capable artisans. How often a child is educated without any forethought as to what he is best suited. Or he is taken from school as soon as possible and thrust into the first position offered him. This proves, to be a blind alley. The work does not appeal to the young worker's creative sense or that sense has, never been developed. He falls behind those fitted by nature and training for the work. He is what the world calls a failure. But he isn't a failure. He's a victim. All children are gifted for some sort of a career." for three years and society's hope that they will ever be renewed during the life of the aged emperor is now abandoned. The soiree dansante at Schoenbrunn was only a concession to the demand for an opportunity to present to his majesty the wives of the diplomats, including Mrs. Frederick Courtland Penfield, wife of the American ambassador, and also of those young ladies of the aristocracy who have become eligible for attendance at court during the last three years. The emperor is reported in good health. Notwithstanding his increasing years, he rises at half past three every morning and is at his desk before dawn. He has a light breakfast at five and then works steadily until noon, with only half an hour's walk in his private ground to relieve his work. At eight o'clock all the lights in his private apartments are out and he has retired for the night. theatrical associations. He has visited all the principal剧院 in Paris several times over, has attended many concerts and whenever his engagements permitted has attended the regular sessions of the French academy, of which he is a member. In addition to official visits to Spain and England he has visited every part of France, going by automobile to many remote villages, where a president had never been seen before. His unfailing tact, the remarkable skill with which he can be affable without compromising the high dignity of his position has gained for him the affection and for his office the respect of tens of thousands of Frenchmen, particularly of that class which keeps aloof from politics.

With no taxes to pay and no wearl some restrictions to undergo, living in a land so fruitful that a few weeks' labor is enough to supply them with food, home and clothes for a whole year, the Ekol, native of extreme southern Nigeria, on the equator, should be, and probably are, among the happiest people on earth, according to P. A. Talbot, African explorer of London, England, in a communication to the National Geographic society at Washington, according to a Washington correspondent of the Rochester Democrat-Chronicle "The Ekoi are devoted parents," he writes. "They have curious beliefs as to the advent and death of their babies. One charming superstition forbids all quarrelling in a house where there are little children. The latter, so they say, love sweet words, kind looks and gentle voices, and if there are not to be found in the family into which they have been reincarnated, they will close their eyes and forsake the earth till a chance offers to return again amid less quarrelsome surroundings. "To the 2koi, dancing is one of the main occupations of life. With them the dance provides an outlet both for the dramatic instinct and for religious fervor. At the new year, and on all great festivals, the chief 'societies' of men, women and children come up to the station to give a series of dances. The Ekoi are a polygamous 'people, but the chief wife, not the husband, is the head of the house. Each wife has control over her children, who almost invariably go with her if she leaves her husband, and her rights as to property are most strictly safe-guarded by native law." Mr. Talbot recounts one of the many old legends of the country, explaining the position which women holds. At the beginning of things, the legend runs, the world was peopled by women only. One day the earth-god, Awbassi Nsi, happened by accident to kill a woman. Awbassi, sorry for the grief he had caused, offered to give them anything they should choose out of all his possessions. They begged him to mention what he had to give, and said they would all cry "Yes" when he named the thing which they wished to have. At length the list was nearly ended; one thing remained to offer and that was a man. They shouted "Yes" and, catching hold of one another, started dancing for joy. They took man, therefore, as compensation for the fellow-woman whom they had lost, and thus the men became the servants of women, having to work for them up to this day. "The religious observances of the Ekol are altogether a fascinating study," continues Mr. Talbot. "Beneath many modern corruptions and disfigurements are to be found traces of an older, purer form of worship—traces which carry us back to the oldest known Minoan civilization and link the belief of the modern Ekol with that of the ancient Phoenician, the Egyptian, the Roman and the Greek. In some ways, indeed, the Ekol form may be termed the most ancient of all, for whereas in the oldest known representations of Minoan bird and tree worship the tree has become almost entirely conventionalized into pillar shape, and later on becomes a mere pedestal to support the bird, among the Egol it still keeps its original form—that of the actual living tree. The smallest town has its juju tree." Ore Ships on the Lakes The great movement of cargoes on the lakes has brought about remarkable developments, according to the Engineering Magazine. A type of ship was evolved for this service which has superseded all other carriers on the lakes. The hold is one long trough, without stanchions or braces to interfere with unloading. The deck beams are portal girders worked into the frames. The hatches are spaced uniformly 12 feet centers, to suit unloading machinery, and have telescopic catch covers of large width, constituting one long line of wide, continuous hatches from the break of the foofle to the engine room bulkhead, over a continuous hopper-shaped hold. The pilot house is so near the eyes of the ship that the pilot when putting the ship on a range uses a stern sight and requires a verge staff projecting forward from the bow for steering ahead. Boilers, engines and officers' quarters are at the extreme after end. In stormy weather travel across the waist of the ship is made by trolley slung from a fore-and-aft stay between the masts. Too Pointed. "I am quite fascinated by your friend whom you introduced to me. He has perfectly killing ways." "For heaven's sake, don't let him know you think so!" "Why not?" "He's a doctor!" Natural Result. "My dear, what on earth are all those small fragments lying about on the floor?" "I'm just going to sweep them up. They're the unbreakable toys you brought home yesterday to the children." CHANGES IN NAMES Many Originally Honorable, Have Been Corrupted in Time. People Should Not Be Ashamed of Such Names as Snooks and Gumboil—Smith Is More Ancient Than Anglo-Saxon. Surnames are not what they seem, and some of the most distressing contain a wealth of meaning. Take, for example the surname with which many people think they are cursed—Snooks. This by no means seems to be an imposing cognomen; but, as a matter of fact, it is a name of great antiquity, and one of which nobody should be ashamed. In reality, it is a contraction of "Sevenoaks." It was first corrupted to Sennocco, which, in turn, was corrupted to Snooks of today. The original bearer of the name of Legles was so called merely because he was a lawyer. Originally, the name was spelled "Leagless," the expression signifying "learned in the law." Strangely enough, Lawless is derived from exactly the same source, and signifies exactly opposite to its apparent meaning. Take a case of the surname Heart. It is really a corruption of Hard, which was a name given to show that the owner was a man of firm character and resolute bearing. One must extend pity to the poor individual burdened with such a name as Gumboli. Yet those who possess the name may be interested to know that it, too, has nothing at all to do with any part of the anatomy. It denotes that its first bearer was a man of considerable importance and great power in the state. It is derived from the Norse word "gunbald," which itself has nothing to do with any affliction, but means "bold in war." It is quite wrong to assume that the name of Smith is derived from the fact that the original bearers were workers in metal. In reality, Smith is a very old name, far more ancient than Anglo-Saxon. The oldest known bearers of the name were brewers, and it was in use many thousands of years ago in mighty Egypt. Such names as Swearing and Gambling show how the original meaning had become corrupted. Swears and Sweor, which comes from the Anglo-Saxon word meaning "honorable." Gambling comes from Gamling, which comes from a Norse word signifying "old descent." The ending "ing" to a surname simply means "son of." Thus Browning means "son of Brown" and Dunning "Dunn's son." Apparently a very ignoble surname is Tremble, a name which might make one imagine that the ancestor of Mr. Tremble was a craven-hearted creature. Still, the exact opposite is the case, for the name is only a corruption of the ancient word "trumbald." which signifies "steadfast and bold." Any individual rejoicing in the name of Mr. Earwig may be proud in the fact that originally the name meant the "boar of battle." The surname Mouse denoted at first a man of great courage, while Mr. Ratt gets his name from the fact that the first bearer of the name was a wise person, who gave "counsel" to the king. Goose, Gosling and Jocelyn are corruptions of a word which originally denoted the "Goths." The first Mr. Gander was an individual called "the wolf," while the original Mr. Duck was a "doughty" man. No; surnames are not what they seem. For instance, Lind is derived from a Teutonic word meaning a "snake." The apparently quiet and harmless surname Wren comes from a word which denotes "rapine." Fish, though such an innocent name in appearance, originally meant "impetuous."—Stray Storles. Heartless Parns. That the real Paris is so difficult to know is shown by an experience of Mr. Stephen Graham, the distinguished writer on "Russia and the Russians." In the Paris Daily Mall recently he had an article describing the Russian exiles (voluntarily or perforce) in Paris, and he remarked in that connection: "Paris is a refuge of the intellectuals. In one sense it is a sanctuary and a place from which their pursuers cannot take them. On the whole, however, it is an evil city in which to live, a place where there is more selfishness and gay heartlessness than anywhere else in the world." Painful Belief. Mrs. Evans was making a call on Mrs. Francis, and they were enjoying a chat about some of their neighbors. "Mrs. Green," said the hostess, "is a woman who suffers much for her belief." "Indeed," replied the caller wonderingly; "and what is her belief?" "Why," continued the hostess, "she believes she can wear a No. 3 shoe on a No. 6 foot." The Lips for Her.

NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Capital Calling System Is Revamped by Women Capital Calling System Is Revamped by Women WASHINGTON.—Women in official society circles met here the other day and discussed the national capital's complex calling system with a view to evolving a simpler and more satisfactory method of exchange of the formal Mrs. Fletcher voiced the sentiment of those present by declaring the necessity for a simpler calling system was imperative. Everybody, she said, wants to return every call that is made upon them, but there is a limit of hours in the day and days in the week. "On her first afternoon at home," said Mrs. Fletcher, "Mrs. Marshall had a thousand calls and they have averaged between 300 and 500 each Wednesday since. Her sincere effort to return every call has been the comment and admiration of all Washington society, but how can anybody return in person several thousand calls in one season? Mrs. Marsall's experience is in greater or less degree duplicated by every official hostess in Washington." The question of simplifying formal calling in Washington has been growing more acute during the last ten years, but this meeting was the first attempt at simplification. American Youth Scramble for Places in Navy American Youth Scramble for Places in Navy IT takes a "jimmy" these days to break into the United States navy as a plain, ordinary seaman; a stick of dynamite is necessary to get in as an apprentice or yeoman. The navy department and its recruiting stations have but there has been good advertising. The tales of the cruises and the details of the chances for obtaining an education, sent out in pamphlet form, have swelled the ranks so that the bars had to be put up. The greatest number of monthly enlistments, except in war time, was made in the last six months since Secretary Daniels began his revolutionary reforms in the navy. Perhaps the chief cause for the great influx of fine, hardy young men into the naval service in the last few months was the recent Mediterranean cruise of the great Atlantic fleet. This cruise was a regular pleasure trip for the young seamen, and it was intended that it should be such by the navy department. Long stops were made at all the principal cities on the Mediterranean, where shore leave was given. At the different seaports the American sailors were entertained in lavish style by naval and civic organizations, and in every way shown a general good time. Tales of cruises contained in letters sent back to friends from foreign ports also fire the imagination of young friends "back home." For instance, the recruits at the Chicago training station were recently sent overland to Bremerton, Wash. They were allowed a stop-over at Yellowstone park, and other interesting places. Soon after arriving at Bremerton they were assigned to the cruiser New Orleans, which sailed for Mexican waters. On its trip south the cruiser stopped at San Francisco, where shore leave was given to the youngsters. Now it is reported that as soon as the Mexican trouble is settled the New Orleans will sail for the Orient.

If there were to come an emergency calling for a large number of horses the war department would have great difficulty in getting them. It is said that one reason for the scarcity of horses is the falling off of the product of those who are raising horses. It is unofficially declared that the increased use of automobiles has had its influence on the rearing of horses, despite the assertions to the contrary. The motor trucks also seriously affect the market for draft animals,* but that has to do mostly with the mule, so far as the army is concerned. The mule will always be a necessity, despite the improvement which has been made in the motor trucks. The animal must be used with the troops in the field. The trucks will be useful for supplying the column in the rear. Believes There Is a Good Deal in Some Names MR.

The army quartermasters, horses for military establishments, say that there is really an alarming scarcity of good animals. Of course, it is well known that the war department is more or less hampered by the fact that congress has not appropriated sufficient money to enable the quartermaster's department to acquire horses in sufficient number to supply all the mounted commands. Consequently there is a shortage in horses caused by the distribution of troops on the border and elsewhere and by the increase of war strength of troops serv- horses now to supply the commands at they calling for a large number of horses it difficulty in getting them.

Coming of Disturbances Foretold in Businesslike Way Similar to That in Which Arrival of Shipment Is Estimated. Washington.—Many people have an idea that there is something mysterious and occult about the work of the weather bureau in forecasting the coming of storms, frosts and floods. Not a few think that the observers must necessarily get their data by reading the planets, the stars and the moon. As a matter of face the forecaster of the bureau foretells the coming of disturbances in a businesslike way, very similar to that in which a man who has ordered a shipment of goods would estimate the date of its arrival. Suppose a business man has ordered a carload of pineapples from the Hawaiian Islands. He would know the average time it would take the steamer to make the trip to the Pacific port, the average time for unloading and loading into refrigerator cars, and the average number of days to be allowed these cars for their trip across the continent to New York. His estimate, however, would be subject to error because the steamship might be delayed by fog, or the cars might meet with an accident. Storms, like pineapples, as a rule do not originate in the United States. They come to us, some from the Philippines, Japan, Siberia, Alaska, Canada or the Gulf of Mexico. The weather bureau gets cable, telegraphic or wireless notice of a foreign storm. Station after station, or vessel after vessel reports the storm's arrival in its neighborhood, so that the general direction and rate of progsr can be determined very early. In fact, the arrival of some storms can be foretold ten days in advance. The forecasters watch for the region of low barometer which is the storm center around which the winds blow. This whirl or eddy moves bodily forward with the general eastward drift of about 650 miles a day in our latitudes. As the lines of equal pressure (isobars), around the low center crowd closer together, the winds attending the storm increase in force. The forecaster determines the direction of movement of the storm and its velocity. When weather disturbances are reported, the forecasters know from experience about how long it takes them to reach our Pacific Coast, and then how long after they will reach the Atlantic Coast. For example, if a storm coming from Siberia drifts eastward around the North pole and reappears in Alaska, it should appear in Washington and Oregon in about two days; should get to the Great Lakes in six days and to the Atlantic Coast in seven or eight days. Unexpected conditions may delay storms or divert them from the straight track just as a refrigerator car may be thrown off its schedule or be shipped by accident on a wrong road. Some of these storms deplete themselves by running into regions of high barometer which are of greater magnitude and extent than the storm itself. Some of them, however, travel completely around the world. To keep tab on cold waves that come into the United States from Canada and Alaska, the weather bureau studies the Canadian weather reports. England sends reports from Iceland, the British Islands and Continental Europe, and daily reports come from St. Petersburg on the conditions in Russia and Siberia. The same businesslike system used in tracing the track of a storm is applied in determining the arrival of frosts. Flood forecasts are made in much the same way. Information as to the amount of rainfall at the head waters of streams that cause floods are covered by telegraphic reports sent by local observers. As this rain reaches the main channel, the height of the water in the channel is determined by successive gauging stations. Past records establish how much a height, say of 20 feet at Dubuque, Iowa, will produce at Davenport. This plan is followed all the way down the Mississippi river, and at each point full allowance is made for the effects of water from tributaries, and from additional and local rainfall. As a result of these observations in the recent flood, the people of Cairo had warning a week or ten days in advance. The Pittsburgh district can be given only 12 to 24 hours' notice, because a flood is upon them within 24 hours after a heavy rain storm. Secretary of the Navy Daniels certainly had one big think when he introduced the educational classes into the navy. It is one of the biggest steps yet taken by the navy department in the way of educational improvement of young men of the navy. While Secretary Daniels must have had approval of his own mind in his efforts in this direction, it must give him very great pleasure to learn that nearly every man in the fleet in the Atlantic reserve squadron is planning to take up either the academic or technical course of instruction, or both, and that the educational feature immediately became popular. Since the orders for the formation of the schools were received, officers of the fleet have been engaged in selecting instructors. Classes will be held for 15 minutes every afternoon, and there will be a systematic course in each branch of study. Do You Know That— On some of the vessels in reserve which have small crews the men will study together. There is but one school for the battleships Iowa, Indiana and Massachusetts. The men of the Kearsarge and Kentucky and the Illinois and Alabama will join their classes, while those of the cruiser Montgomery, the repair ship Panther and the scout cruiser Salem will study with the men of the battleship Wisconsin. A congressman of canny Scotch ancestry contributed a story of disputes in the glens about the antiquity and importance of their response clans. A The COLORADO STATESMAN Campbell (pronounced Cammle) and a McLean were one day disputing and the Campbell said his clan had existed before the days of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, for he said, "Does the Bible not say that when Isaac lifted up his eyes he saw that the camels were coming?" (Gen. xxiv. 63.) IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF "Hoot, mon," said the other, "what's that to the McLeans? The McLeans are as old as the world itself." "Do you mean to tell me that the McLeans lived before the flood?" asked Campbell. "To be sure," said McLean, "long before the flood." JOB PRINTING "But the whole of the people was drowned,' said Campbell, "excepting the one family that went into Noah's ark." "Noah's ark," retorted McLean scornfully. "What would the McLeans want wi' Noah's ark? Who ever heard of a McLean that hadna a boat o' his ain?" Laughter rang through the corridors as the little group scattered and divided itself into pairs and trios as some made their way to the house office building and others marched gayly out to the tune of "Home, Sweet Home."—National Magazine. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY More than $118,000,000 a year is given to the benevolent institutions in the United Pays High for States, according to the census bureau. The figures have been compiled from the 1910 returns. The institutions spent $111,500,000, and they had property valued at $643,900,000. There were about 5,400 institutions. Those in New York state reported a total income of $28,000,000, with property valued at $188,000,000, as against $15,000,000 income in Pennsylvania, with property of the institutions there valued at $117,000,000. There is one benevolent institution for each 17,000 of population. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. Forty-six per cent, of the benevolent institutions in the United States are for the sick, 27 per cent. are for the exclusive care of children, and 4 per cent. are for the care and protection of children. In the 4,815 institutions reporting there were 339,571 inmates, and during the year 5,400,000 persons had been received into the total number of institutions. The number of inmates in the benevolent institutions in New York state increased 28,000, or 46 per cent., from 1904 to 1910; more than 40,000 children were put into homes in 1910. The hospitals had 36,000 nurses, 5,300 doctors and 1,950,000 patients, with $66,000,000 in receipts.

Under no circumstances should fresh and dried fruits be considered a luxury, since they supply the needed nutritive material as an inlet, besides adding to the attractiveness of the daily fare, according to nutrition specialists of the department of agriculture. If they are to be eaten raw, brands made and marketed in a cleanly way should be obtained. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction The amount of dried fruit produced in the United States increased 575 per cent, between 1899 and 1909. California produced more than four-fifths of the yearly output. According to a rough estimate each person in this country consumes on an average of five or six pounds of dried fruit a year. The value of dried fruit grows from between four and five million dollars to over twenty-one million dollars in ten years. The average wholesale price, however, has not advanced with the increased demand; on the contrary it has dropped from about five and a half cents to four and a half cents per pound. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver Possibly it seems a little tough, but those who have to take care of the sioner to the poor at Topeka, Kan. The board of charities at Topeka has decided that any Shawnee county resident owning a dog will be disqualified from receiving any fund devoted to Shawnee county's poor. The commissioner to the poor says that a dog is a luxury and that families who have not enough for their children divide their pittance with the dog. The poor commissioner says that "if a family is poor it has a dog; if it is very poor, it has two dogs." "People must dispose of their pups if they wish help from the county. It is a practical ruling, but will wring tears from the eyes of many a ragged kid. There is nothing so nice as a dog, but, like Oliver Twist, they do eat tremendous. Dogs are a luxury. People enjoying luxuries can't expect county aid." Room 25 Phone Main 7417 The Associated Charities of Wichita recently adopted a similar ruling, and the Reno county officials have issued the same order.

DENVER, COLORADO Denver, Colorado A SUNDAY Brilliant Ribbon Vests and Girdles ```markdown ``` IT is said that French women can "carry off" extremes of style gracefully that are quite impossible to other women. But the French insist that Americans are favored with the same gift. Whatever may be our opinion of the French talent for clothes, we will concede that the women manage their coiffures with fine effect. Here is a group of three, dressed to suit the individuals and to be worn with evening dress. Each one shows the beauty of carefulness, at least, and some originality of treatment. At the top a simple style shows the hair waved only about the face. It is plain over the crown of the head and combed to the nape of the neck. There is a wide, loose and very soft braid made of wavy hair extending all about the head. An ornament made of pearl beads follows the line of the braid and holds the hair about the face neatly in place. Such a colfurce is an excellent model for women whose heads are not as shapely as they could wish. The colfurce shown at the left is a good selection for one who is forced to help out a scant supply of thin hair with a well-made piece that can be Brilliant Ribbon IN those alluring shop windows along the boulevards, gayly flowered vests and brilliant ribbon girdles promise another colorful springtime. Clothes are to be cheerful. Colors are not so strong and primitive as those of last year, but richer and quite as vivid. And they are combined with the cunning of the Orient, to which many makers of things fashionable are looking for inspiration. It is in accessories of dress that the woman of good taste will find opportunity to indulge her love of color. The small vests, coatees, girdles and sashes made of gorgeous ribbons or piece goods are little touches of splendor, to be added to gowns of plain colors or white. Little coats of flowered crepe de chine, challis and similar fabrics are the smartest of conceptions and just in the mode. They are destined to thrive for at least one successful season. Nearly all the vests are made of brocaded or figured ribbons. A few are of plaid ribbon showing unusually beautiful color combinations. In all cases they are brilliant, either with bright colors or of quater tones burnished with gold or silver thread. Rose color, old blue, pea green, mahogany and olive green, with all the gold shades, are featured in brocades. In Roman stripes and in plaids, strong reds, blues, greens, with black and white, are embodied, with one color predominating as a rule. No woman who goes a-traveling need be told how useful these girdles, vests and little coats are in making variety for her. Given one or two suits, several blouses and girdles, a brilliant vest and a little flowered coat, and almost any number of changes may be rung in the toilette. It may be toned up by these accessories to fit any occasion. One of the vests made of brocaded ribbon is shown here. It has a green-gray ground with velvet roses and foliage, in the natural colors, raised pinned on. The natural hair is waved and combed back to the nape of the neck. Here it is coiled or the ends are turned under and fastened in with a fancy comb in the new mode. The entire front effect is made by pinning on a ready-dressed piece made with a short light fringe over the forehead. Milady's own hair is waved and dressed as shown in the third collure. A small flat pad supports the hair at the back. The waving is very loose and the hair, parted a little at one side and fluffed, sweeps backward and over the pad. All the ends are brought together in the new mode at the right side and pinned in with a long shell comb. Women are, rather reluctantly, adopting the high hair dress, but with one accord apparently taking to waved hair. One should not lose sight of the value of individuality in the matter of the coiffure. It is as desirable as variety. An occasional change of styles pleases everyone, for in hair-dressing, as in other things, variety is the spice of life. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Vests and Girdles on it. The roses are in American Beauty shades, the leaves in dark rich green. Vests or coats in which soft greens predominate look well with any color. The girdle of velvet ribbon is in a deep red-gold color, exceptionally fashionable at present. This is especially liked with white or cream-colored dresses. A girdle of moire ribbon is made of a good violet shade and is finished with satin-covered buttons and buckle in the same shade. These moire girdles may be had in any color. In the plaid and Roman striped girdles the buttons and buckle are covered with plain satin in the color predominating in the ribbon. These are the newest models in girdles for cloth or silk gowns and are innocent of loops and ends, rosettes or ornaments. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. White Lace Waists. Not only are nets and laces used together, but they are combined with taffeta. Dressy waists have the upper part of lace and the girdle or peplum in white or colored silk. The new Japanese collar and the plaited sleeve frills are also made of taffeta. All-over shadow faces and plain nets are shirred on heavy cords and trimmed with lace bands and edges. Many of the models have the sleeves unlined, but the body of the waist shows a low-cut lining both back and front. This leaves the neck and the arms partially uncovered, the tint of the flesh showing through the lace. When entire linings are used, pale pink chiffon or net is used, as this suggests the flesh tint. A large proportion of the necks are finished with an upstanding frill, modified Medici, or high rolling effect. The front finish of the neck is either a sharp V outline or widened at the sides and finished in a shallow point in the center. PHONE MAIN 61 23—Day or Night RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992.
