PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY THE FALL CAMPAIGN VOL. XX. THE FA The following article which appeared in the last issue of the Philadelphia Tribune is a thorough indorsement of what we have been endeavoring to tell our people in the West from time to time, and now that it is brought out so forcibly in a journal of a city of over ten times the amount of colored voters than in Denver, there is every reason to hope that they will spend a little time in reading carefully this article and devote themselves absolutely to its instructions:— In a few weeks the Fall Campaign will be upon us when we will be in the throes of another political campaign. The coming one will mean much, very much to us, as to whether the present administration is to be endorse in its segregation and other policies that have been pursued toward us by the present party in power. It is to be hoped that before the campaign gets to be very old that delegations of our best citizens in this and adjacent states will secure interviews with leading candidates on their Congressional or state ticket to secure the views of such candidates toward our race. It has been the custom in the past for a few self-constituted men to see such candidates and to promise to them to deliver the colored vote of that particular section or locality providing certain emoluments would come to them personally. This is the selfish side of all political deals. These people think that as long as they can swim and breast the tide for themselves and thus delude the masses, they are content, to be of service to their race is a secondary consideration. What should be done in this state and in our neighboring states is to find out from these Congressional candidates as to what they will do in case they are elected through national legislation toward the betterment of the colored residents of their district, not in the way in securing office for them as that is only for the few, but for that larger benefit that will accrue to the many in removing the prejudice that exists towards us and which prevents members of the race from securing employment in commercial fields or in securing to us those rights that others enjoy in traveling from one section of the country to the other, and not only in the passage of such laws, but to see that such laws are rigidly enforced, that one's color should not be a bar to secure for him those inalienable --- rights that pertains to our citizenship. We have in the past been lamentably wanting in securing these beneficent results. We have simply sought office for ourselves in order that we might feed on 'government pap,' that may be handed out or down, not desiring to benefit the race itself. We should endeavor to seek a higher plane than this. These questions should be propounded to each candidate, whether he seeks either the National or state legislature. "1st. In case the colored vote of this district should give to you their undivided support, what effect will you make towards the eradication of the present racial feeling towards them for a part of which you are responsible? 2nd. Are you in favor of the industrial uplift of these people in using your efforts to open to them the doors of the factory and the store now closed to them through color prejudice? 3rd. Will you use your efforts if elected, to wipe from the statutes all laws which have a bearing towards discrimination on account of color? 4th. Will you seek to enact such laws that secure to them equal accommodation as that enjoyed by others in travel, either on land or by water, in places of entertainment or amusement? If any candidate seeks to evade answering these questions whether he be a Republican, Democrat or Progressive the committee will know where such a candidate stands, and if he should be elected what he might expect from him. We do not care to what Party he belongs, every effort should be made on the part of the race to encompass his defeat. These replies should find space in the colored press of the country and be circulated broadcast. The time has come when as a race we must look to our own welfare and not trust to the platform of principles of any party, our object should be the men who seek these places, they are the ones to whom we must look for future betterment. One of the reasons the Republican Party lost out in the last National contest, was its failure in not carrying out the principles of their platforms for years, they filled them glittering statements of what they proposed to do, but their candidates were lacking in fulfilling such promises. In order to break the Solid South the Republican State Hist & Nat Hist Bochc State House GIANTS WHO ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. AUGUST 15 1914 party and later the Progressive party have digressed from those principles that were the corner stone of their being. The South has played coyly with them until they have captured the whole machinery of the government at the expense of the industrial interests of the North. There is but one way to bring this about, the South must be taught that it must respect the laws of the land, that these laws must be respected and enforced in all sections of the country alike. As soon as the South sees this and her bluff is called there will be a better state of things, a better feeling between the sections as well as a more harmonious relation between those who live in such sections. The great trouble with us in the past on the part of those who claimed to be leaders was simply to secure for themselves all they could at the expense of their race, the direct injustice to the race as a whole in the disregard of their rights, civil and political, never received any consideration at their hands. It is this action on their part more than anything else that their is no race leader, and when one is no race lerder, and when one is so named the race leader, and when one is so named the race distrusts him. More confidence would be engendered if those who have the future of their race at heart would take the action suggested, as it is now we have a race with a million or more votes, that would be considered a power anywhere else but here that has no voice in either the industrial or political interest of the country on account of the lack of unity of its members and lack of confidence in those who term themselves as leaders of their race.

Three Russian youths outraged the poor Jewish girl and then dragged her to a nearby cemetery and crucified her. Nails were not only driven through her hands and feet, but even through her eyes. The youths were arrested but through the influence of friends they were able to escape unpunished. According to reports, a white man imposed upon a colored girl in Muskogee, Okla., who in trying to defend her virtue killed the man. The girl was put in jail from which she was shortly taken by a mob of masked men dragged through the streets and hanged to a telegraph pole. On the editorial page of the same paper was given in brief the confession of Count Alexander Scherbolskoy, councillor of the Russian embassy in Washington. The Russians object to the Jews, explained the court, because they are more capable than the Russians and not because they are of a different race and faith. The position that the white man takes towards the Japs in California is very much the same. The Californians know that the Japs are more clever than they, the count pointed out. This is simply an endorsement of a statement in a leading magazine some years ago regarding the treatment of the Jews in Russia. The thrift and rapid advancement of the Jews were largely responsible for their persecution in Russia it was explained and the writer added that as the Negroes in America increase in material wealth and education their difficulties will also increase. We know that the Negro's difficulties have increased in America since that time. They are on the increase every day. Never before have there been so much legislation and unjust discrimination against the Negro in America. Thousands of manifestations of hostility are observed daily in every walk of life, even in purely religious matters. According to the magazine article to which reference has just been made, this is simply indicative of Negro progress. But we RACE NEWS San Francisco, July 29.—In a speed trial held before Judge Sturtevant, presiding over the Superior Court of San Francisco, Lasher B Gallagher, twenty, who has studied stenography only two years, wrote 284 words a minute, which was as fast as anybody in the room could read to him, but apparently not as fast as he could write. In the nationsl shorthand speech contests 280 words a minute is the highest reading speed and in the last contest the winner got 272 words correctly. Young Gallagher read his notes back correctly and comparison with the original, which was a legal transcript totally unfamiliar to him, showing that he had not made an error. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 5. Bishop Levi J. Coppin was married on Saturday, August 1, to Dr. Melissa Evelyn Thompson of Baltimore, Md Bishop Tanner officiated at Allen A. M. E. Church. The groom's present to the bride was an automobile, in which a bridal trip to Cape May was taken. prefer to attribute this to some other cause. We like to think of the American white man—that is the representative element—to say the least of it—as a broad hearted, altruistic, patriotic, and progressive people, hoping and striving for the highest development of the whole country. We like to think of him possessing sound judgment and able to forecast the future from the successes and failures of the nations of the past. He knows that the Negro in America constitutes approximately one-tenth of the nations' population. He knows that the Negro in America constitutes approximately one-tenth of his body is diseased; no person can go forward when one-tenth of his body is going backward or even standing still; that no nation can reach its highest development so long as one-tenth of its population is kept in ignorance and poverty, a condition which gives birth to anarchy and crimes of every conceivable nature. The white man in America for years has been teaching the Negro to be honest, indurtrious and self-respecting. The Negro is rapidly learning the lesson and is trying to copy his virtues as well as he (unfortunately) so often does his vices. The Negro in America wants to fell that when he is putting these excellent lessons into practice that he is meeting the approval of his teachers. NO 51 The bride is a native of Columbia, S. C., and received her academic training at Allen University, that city. Her medican training was received at the Woman's Training College, Philadelphia. Bishop Coppin was a widower, his first wife, Mrs. Fanny Jackson Coppin, having died 18 months ago. Bishop and Mrs. Coppin will reside at 1913 Bainbridge street. WEST AFRICA WILL NOT BECOLONIZED BY WHITES There is no effort or intention of European governments having possessions in West Africa, or of Europeans having business interests here, to colonize these possessions at present or in the future. Though thousands of Europeans are engaged in the service of the various governments and trading and mining companies for one, two or three years, at the end of which periods they return to their European homes. Government officials claim that the country is being developed for the native, and that there in neither purpose nor hope to make it a "white man's country" At present, at least, this appears to be the purpose of the various governments, excepting Liberia, the Negro republic which invites colonization of American Negroes of financial means and education. Even Syrians and East Indians coming to West Africa to engage in trade return periodically to their Asiatic homes. Of the few American Negroes who have found their way to West Africa to engage in trade return periodically to their Asiatic homes. Of the few American Negroes who have found their way to West Africa to settle in Liberia, 99 per cent are unprepared to meet the economic conditions and express regret at having left America. These, excepting a few who cannot secure passage money, return to the United States. Some have been assisted by th counsel in securing passage on sailing vessels returning to America. Few, other than well-educated American Negroes, can accommodate themselves to the existing racial, religious and economic conditions, the natives always considering them foreigners. Audubon, as became a naturalist, had "hawk-like eyes, that flashed like a searchlight and were ever on the alert for each movement of animated nature." The duke of Wellington also had, it is said, blue hawk's eyes gleaming with military genius.

It was also noted that the forts there still were in the hands of King Albert's men. It was asserted in these dispatches that although advises came from Belgian authorities, no serious action was taken on the town by the Germans. An official dispatch issued by the Belgian general staff said the advanced German troops had no serious action taken against German offensive movement had ceased. Turkish troops concentrated on Bulgarian territory. Cholera said a German offensive had been carried out and Servian troops. Germans plan cremation of men who fell.

FRANCE BREAKS WITH AUSTRIANS AMBASSADORS QUIT VIENNA AND PARIS AFTER CHARGE DUAL MONARCHY IS AIDING THE TROOPS OF GERMANY. BOMBARDING BELGRADE CITY RAZED BY CANNON FIRE AND MANY WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE BURied BEINEATH THE RUINS. Paris, Aug. 11.—It was officially announced last night that France had broken off diplomatic relations with Austria-Hungary. The French ambassador at Vienna has left the Austrian capital and the Austro-Hungarian ambassador at Paris, Count Szczesny von Temerin, asked for his passports and left Paris. In announcing the breaking off of relations with Austria the French foreign office made the following statement: "Contrary to assurances given by Austria to the French minister of foreign affairs that no Austrian troops were taking part in the Franco-German war, the French government has ascertained, beyond any possible doubt, that certain Austrian troops are at present in Germany, outside the Austrian frontier. These troops, which have set free certain German troops destined to be employed in fighting the French, ought, indubitably de facto and de jure, to be considered as acting against France. In these circumstances, the French ambassador was ordered to leave Vienna." The Austrian ambassador at Paris, on being informed of France's decision, asked for his passports. The Austro-Hungarian ambassador to England was still in London Monday and the British government seems disposed to leave the initiative to Austria-Hungary in the question as to whether war is to be declared between the two countries. Nish, Servia, Aug. 11.—The four days' bombardment of Belgrade, during which the heavy guns of the Austrians poured, at short range, a torrent of bombs and solid shot onto the roots of the Servian capital, have laid much of the residence portion of the city in ruins. Many women and children who had sought refuge in distant portions of the town, were buried beneath falling walls as the enemy's gunners searched out one district after another with deadly aim. 45,000 Fall in Battle Paris, Aug. 10.—For the first time in forty years the French army is in Aisace. The Germans have been thrust back. After taking Altkirk France is in possession of Mulhausen. In the fighting the Germans are reported to have lost 30,000 men, while the French lost 15,000. The Kaiser is rushing to the frontier, it is said. Austrian troops are reported 40,000 strong near Basel, but a few miles from Mulhausen and in great numbers at Leopoldshoe in Baden, Germany. Announcement From Brussels. The following official announcement was made last night in Brussels: "The Germans have evacuated the Longdon fort at Liege and it has been re-occupied by the Belgians. The Germans also appear to have retreated at other points. The condition of the Belgian army is good. There was no fighting today." A dispatch from Brussels states the German soldiers at Liege are so famished that they are offering as high as 25 cents per pound for dog flesh.

Aug. 12.—Germans erect fortifications in the streets of Liege, preparing to lie in a fight against all troops. Fighting is renewed with increased vigor. Germans begin flank movement to the north and south. Rome., Aug. 13.—Three thousand Austrian cavalrymen were shot down by the Russian Cossacks on the Austro-Russian frontier, according to a telegram received by the Cororiere d'Italia. The Austrians charged across the border and attacked the Cossacks, who were accompanied by heavy artillery. The Russians, expecting the onslaught were primed for action, and from their places on the hillsides literally mowed down the enemy's forces as they approached. The Austrian invaders then attempted to retreat, but a heavy rain had fallen since they crossed the frontier, and their men and horses were caught in the marshy ground until not a man remained a live. The Cossacks who lost scarcely any men in the encounter, according to the message received here, ran over their foes during the retreat down the hillside, killing many of them from distances of only a few yards. Paris, Aug. 13.—Fierce engagements are reported from all parts of Alsace-Lorraine. Germans and French are attacking each other with vindictive fury and no quarter is given by either side. In some engagements the fighting was at such close quarters, according to reports, that opponents taunted each other with gestures and invitations to single combats. Each side claims the advantage. From one source comes the report that the German troops near Muelhausen have captured ten French officers, 500 men, four guns, ten wagons and many rifles. According to this report German territory has been cleared of French troops. It is also stated that at Lagarde the German troops took more than a thousand prisoners, about one-sixth of the two defeated regiments. Another dispatch received here tells of the bombardment by the Germans of Pont-a-Mousson, in the department of Meurthet-Moselle, about twenty miles northwest of Nancy, near the Alsatian border. Wednesday morning, says the report, 100 shells of large caliber from the big German siege guns beyond the frontier fell into the center of the town, killing and wounding a large number of the population On the other hand, the French war office issued an official announcement stating that the troops of the republic had been victorious in engagements with the Germans. Brussels, Aug. 13.—While the Kaiser is hurling 2,350,000 men against his allied foes on the French and Belgian borders, the heavy German siege guns began pouring their monster shells into Liege. The most vigorous fighting of the ten-day siege was in progress Wednesday and the Germans are attacking the Belgian stronghold with telling effect, but so far they have been able to make little headway against the defenders, who are putting up the same strong resistance that marked the struggle last week. Reinforcements are being rushed to the camps of the defenders and today other French troops are expected. Further than the announcement that hundreds have been lost on both sides, and that the reinforced Belgians claim they will be able to withstand the attack, little news has reached this city of the latest fighting at Liege. It is now apparent that the Kaiser hopes to flank Liege and then begin his rush on the French capital. A force of German cavalry swooped down on a body of Belgian lancers near Tirlemont, and, after killing two officers and shooting down a large number of men, caused the enemy to beat a hasty retreat toward the Belgian interior. The Germans are effecting fortifications in the streets of Liege with a view to resisting possible Belgian attack on the right flank. VILLA CLASHES WITH CARRANZA FORTY THOUSAND FEDERALS READY TO JOIN BANDIT GENERAL. ARMS UNDER EMBARGO PERSISTENT RUMOR THAT CAR BAJAL LEFT MEXICAN CAPIT TAL FOR VERA CRUZ. Washington, Aug. 13.—General Carranza has placed an embargo on arms and ammunition consigned to General Villa's troops from Tampico, and the two leaders of the revolution are apparently about to meet in armed clash, according to messages received here. Villa has disobeyed Carranza's order to send his troops south. Villa has demanded that a civil instead of a military government be established at once in Mexico and this is said to be contrary to Carranza's plans. The federal army is prepared to fight its way through to join Villa's forces unless Carranza makes a declaration of general amnesty before occupying the City of Mexico. If the conjunction is made between the troops of Villa and the 40,000 men left in the old Huerta army, Mexico will be plunged, deeper than ever, in hopeless revolution. Villa says he will insist on the carrying out of the agreement recently reached in Torreon, when the breach was tentatively adjusted. There it was agreed that delegates representing every 1,000 soldiers should meet in convention to draft a plan for holding the elections. Besides demanding a civil government, which neither Carranza nor himself shall control, Villa insists that the present federal army shall be dissolved, but its meritorious officers and men be taken over into the new army of the republic, composed of the constitutionalist forces. Villa also demands that amnesty shall be given all political offenders except those directly responsible for the overthrow of Madero and Suarez. The entire plan as given out by close friends of Villa shows that the fighting general has drafted a scheme with which the present federal army and especially the generals now supporting the Carbajal government, are entirely in sympathy. General Carranza has mobilized 50,000 constitutionalist soldiers at Teoloyucan, which is twenty-one miles from Mexico City. A special train from Mexico City brought the ministers and plenipotentiaries of Brazil, Guatemala, France and Great Britain to Teoloyucan for a conference with Carranza, to discuss the evacuation of Mexico City. A persistent rumor is reported in circulation in Mexico City that Provisional President Carbajal left the capital for Vera Cruz and that the federal power already has been turned over to Eduardo Iturbide, governor of the federal district.

Rome, Via Paris.—The pope is so overwhelmed with grief by the outbreak of war among all the principal nations of Europe that he is unable to do any work and sits listless and silent for hours every day. Although his holiness is not ill, his condition is causing grave anxiety to his attendants. Bradley on Utilities Commission. Denver.—Governor Ammons has named George T. Bradley as a member of the State Public Utilities Commission, which body replaces the State Railroad Commission. When the public utilities law was enacted it provided that A. P. Anderson and S. S. Kendall, two of the members of the Railroad Commission, should be two of the three members of the new commission. Bradley is the third member.

Colorado AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The recent visit of Dr. Booker T. Washington to this city and the splendid address which he delivered brought to mind an incident of a few weeks ago, relates the Chicago News. A young negro of what might be called the diletante class, was heard saying to a newly arrived stranger: "Don't tell any one in Chicago that you are from Tuskegee institute." To this advice the stranger without hesitation replied to the effect that he was proud to be identified with an institution that meant so much constructively in the life of his race, and that any one who was conversant with the needs of the people served by the school could not be disloyal to it. The former young man did not necessarily mean harm, but unfortunately he misrepresented the spirit of this great city. Chicago, sharing the American ideal, is in harmony with movements everywhere which makes for human uplift, and her representative citizens are as eager to encourage in Alabama as well as in Illinois any organization representing an investment in useful, nondependent citizenship. The Tuskegee institute is not only an efficient school for training the negro in manual arts and in agriculture. It is primarily a school for human culture, indeed for race culture, considering the important part it has played and is destined to play in the education of the negro race. It took the world a long time to acknowledge the truth that physical control and the workman's skill in the manipulation of his tools and the practise of his art are as essential contributions to human welfare and to appreciate fine are from an academic point of view or to translate classical writings or decipher fascinating problems in mathematics. Those who from aparthy, indolence or prejudice have not kept abreast with the trend of education and the progress of the glorious humanitarian movements of this day are the ones who date upon what a living age has buried in books. They offer no helping hand in the solution of vital problems. The Tuskegee institute is an active agency not only in education but in social amelioration. Truly there can be no complete appreciation of the work that Doctor Washington is doing for this country if the appalling need for this work is overlooked. As this need is realized so will the friends of the work increase, together with the encouragement and inspiration of his benevolent supporters. At an expenditure exceeding $10,000,000 London will build a dock ample enough to accommodate any merchant steamer afloat or which will be likely to enter the Thames for many years to come. A thousand persons gathered in Epiphany church in G street at Washington to bid farewell to James. For forty-one years James, the colored sexton, had rung the chapel bell that called the parishoners and greeted their arrival with a happy face. He was accorded honors at his funeral service that no person ever buried from that church has received. The aged negro was given the distinction of having a funeral address preached for him, as sermons on burial occasions are never given in the Eposcopal service. Five hundred colored people attended the service and were ushered into their places by the usual church attendants. The Panama canal is lighted along its entire length by electricity, for lighthouses, buoys, etc. A recent bulletin issued by the census bureau giving mortality figures for the year 1913, seems to have made a deep impression in the South because of the ominously high figures for the negroes in the southern cities. These are the deaths per thousand: White. Negro. Memphis 15.9 28.2 Richmond 16.7 26.8 New Orleans 15.6 31.9 Baltimore 16.2 31.0 Nashville 14.7 24.0 Birmingham 12.3 25.2 Atlanta 13.5 25.2 Washington 14.4 24.4 The Atlanta Constitution vigorously calls attention to this situation, pointing out that the diseases which cause such a death rate among the negroes must, in the close contact of urban life, be a menace to the whites, and that, therefore, the whites have a selfish interest in improving the standards of negro life—Springfield Republican. A serious-minded Englishman read a paper before the Royal Statistical society the other day, in which he recommended that a card index registering the details of the lives of every person should be kept at some central government office. Every person would have his number, according to this scheme, which already has given considerable amusement to Punch and the humorists generally. Electric vehicles are now being used in the streets of London for sprinkling and sweeping. "Give the negro a chance." Give the negro a chance. This was the theme that thrilled through the address of Booker T. Washington when he spoke at Chicago before the convention of the International Sunday School association in Medinah temple. Mr. Washington proved to be one af the most popular speakers that have addressed the convention and his appeal to the Sunday school leaders to help the negro and to give him a chance brought repeated applause from the delegates and visitors who filled the big hall to overflowing "What the black man needs is the old time religion," said the speaker. "That's the theology I want to take to my people. The negro is better off close to the soil and in the South, and I want to keep him there, if you will bring the Sunday school to him. Take the old theology to him, the theology that says, 'Thou shalt not steal,' 'Thou shalt not kill,' 'Thou shalt not bear false witness,' 'Thou shalt not commit adultery.' "I want no man's sympathy because I am a negro," he said. "I thank God every day that I belong to this race. I wouldn't change places with the whitest man in America. We have problems to solve, such problems as the white man has not, and my people need some one to lead and help them. But remember, it is not always unfortunate for a race to have problems to confront; such problems turn races into kingdoms and nations." The resolutions committee reported to the convention and resolutions favoring a federal law for the regulation of marriage and divorce, a single standard of purity for both sexes, rigid laws against commercialized vice, lotteries and gambling, consoring of moving pictures, the abolishment of child labor under the age of sixteen, the destruction of the liquor traffic, the advancement of international peace and the observance of the sabbath were passed. Country negroes of the better type are good workers and thrifty managers, pretty sure to become ultimately land owners and self-employers. Negro ownership of land in the South increased 150 per cent in the first decade of the twentieth century. But in this advancement of the best of the race from tenancy and wage working to larger or smaller agricultural proprietorship the author sees a bad influence upon those less fortunate or deserving, an agency making for the deterioration in character and efficiency in the labor left available for the white man's plantation; her observation and interest seem to be rural and agricultural more than urban and industrial. And the unreliability of this labor is in turn responsible for devices verging upon peonism, holding the laborer to the land with chains of debt: "For many years the South squandered the fertility of her fields. We are learning of late years, slowly and painfully, to build up the impoverished soil, and restore it to its former richness. But we have overlooked the squandered fertility of labor. Until we build up the worker the material on which his work is spent will never yield its normal return. The houses of very many farm laborers are more than enough to sap their vitality, to destroy ambition and self-respect and to foster immorality and disease. Conditions like these filch from the community its capital of human productiveness."—Mrs. L. H. Hammond, in her book "In Black and White." The president of Uruguay is reported to be considering the advisability of creating a national printing establishment to undertake all the printing work of the various government departments. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has for its purpose to protect colored women from moral and financial exploitation, to provide playgrounds and recreation centers, to organize boys' and girls' clubs and neighborhood unions of adults, to secure and train negro social workers, to develop co-operation among welfare agencies, to provide employment facilities to fit workers for their occupation, to provide probation care for juvenile and adult delinquents, to render neighborhoods free from vice where respectable people may have homes, and to investigate city conditions among negroes. Its headquarters are in New York. Argentine telegraph companies are bringing into general use a system whereby messages are received automatically with printed type. In the days of old Rome a woman's character was known by her dress. The toga was worn by the men, but the stola was the raiment for the women. It was a loose garment worn over the tunic, and was usually caught at the waist by a girdle. Divorced women and courtesans were not allowed to wear it. Russia is making great efforts to develop unproductive parts of the Caucasus by preventing river floods and increasing irrigation drainage and canal construction. Five Points Creamery Mrs. F. A.

"Not only absurd but criminal" is the expression of the president of the Denver branch of the National Housewives' League in reference to the boosting of the price of foodstuffs, especially home products, on account of the war. Opinions of some of the leading men of our city are very important at this time, as dealers in their spirit of graft are merciless in their increased prices for goods. "Most of the advances are without reason," says Mr. McAllister Wilcox, manager of the Daniels & Fisher Stores Co.; then in the opinion of the market expert of the Morey Mercantile Company, meats cannot be held up long at present prices, as there is sure to be a slump within thirty days, one cause for the drop being that Argentine, which exports $200,000,000 of beef a year, will of necessity unload her surplus into this country, as it cannot be shipped to Europe now. The league of Denver being incensed at the action of these merchants calls a mass meeting at the Woman's Club (Glenarm street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets) at 2 p. m., Saturday, the 15th, inst., to protest vigorously against this unwarrantable and unnecessary action of the merchants. Sugar, meats, etc., have gone up to an alarming degree, and it is said that the idea is that the people being impressed with present conditions, will purchase in large quantities, so as to insure a stock for a certain time. Seeing, therefore, what confronts us, and being assured by the legal authorities of the city of their assistance to proceed against any dealers who combine and plot to advance prices, it is incumbent on every man and woman who would be victimized to be present at this meeting and record their protest against such extreme and cruel actions. In Berlin shopkeepers are being arrested for advancing prices in bread, potatoes, salt, etc. Belgium has issued an order to fine and imprison merchants who would place premium prices on their goods on account of the present crisis. Britain will purchase the food and sell at the same normal rates if the storekeepers are dishonorable enough to take advantage of the times. Then, why should we remain silent. This is a call for unanimous action, and every housewife must act at once in suppressing that which is not only dishonorable and unprincipaled, but a gross disadvantage to us in our domestic affairs. "In the height of war there is the height of plunder." EFFECTS OF WAR ON AMERICAN PUBLIC Various opinions are being expressed as to the cause of the European war. The nations in combat are attaching the blame to this one and then the other. Subjects of the different rulers do not hesitate to accredit their respective country the righteousness of their engaging in this war; but the all-important question arises. "What effect will the war have on us in America?" Some say great benefits will come to us during and after the struggle; others acclaim a blessing in disguise, while the deep thinkers and most thoughtful ones offer no opinion, being so overwhelmed with the different dispatches that tell of the terrible onslaught and the number of lives that have perished as well as the great suffering of humanity. We have listened to people who are narrow enough to place the individual above the nation, entirely forgetting the law which says, "The whole is greater than its parts"; and we are at a loss to hear some of their arguments when they conclude that if there is a great exodus from this country to reinforce the respective troops abroad there will be a plenty of work and surely they (those who remain) would be the large beneficiaries. We ask, can a man do more than a man's share at work? Can he occupy more than one position at a time in any sphere of employment? Were 50 per cent of the population of America of foreign descent permitted to leave this country for the seat of war, would these conditions be conducive to our nation's welfare or would they absolutely be the means of retrogression and stagnation? These are thoughts that should engage us before indulging in speculative expressions on the benefits to be received during such trying events, and instead of joining the ranks of the careless, indifferent and selfish ones who would consign a whole nation to destruction for the success of a part, we would reason soberly and cautiously as to the possibility of good to be achieved one way or other. War is horrifying, and our special feeling at this time should impel us to pray for a cessation of hostilities at the earliest possible moment. The effect of this war on us will no doubt tend to open the eyes of our statesmen and authorities of the land to prepare themselves for higher, nobler and larger spheres of usefulness to citizen and country, so that we can hold our own wherever called upon and in whatever capacity we may have to serve.

Many Evils of Starch Chewing Habit By DR. J. R. GIBBS The most deplorable phase of this strange appetite is that it makes appeal to vain girls who desire to be beautiful. It will come as a surprise to most people that such a common, supposedly harmless but not overnutritious food as starch has the power to enslave any one to its use. Yet there are many starch eaters, most of them girls employed in laundries, where starch is easily obtained. I saw a girl who was suffering from anemia. She worked in a laundry. I questioned her as to her habits of eating and living. The case baffled me. Finally she happened to remark that she chewed starch. I ordered her to quit it, and she promised me she would; she broke her word again and again. I labored with her three months before she gave up starch eating. The odd thing about starch eating is that starch has no medicinal virtue, nor does it exhilarate or depress. It is simply an inferior food which makes flabby, worthless flesh. It is a clog to the digestive apparatus, and starvation of blood is a result of its long continued use. I cannot understand where the appetite—if there is an appetite—comes in. Yet persuading a starch eater to give up the habit is a long and difficult process. I am told that in some laundries the starch is kept under lock and key to prevent the employes from eating it. Six months of starch eating will reduce a rosy cheeked, buxom woman to a shadow of her former self. Her cheeks will lose their bloom. Her eyes will turn lusterless. She will struggle hopelessly against languor and lassitude. Her digestion will become impaired. Starch chewing will turn the blood thin and white. The red corpuscles in the blood will die. The starch chewer will become anemic, in which weakened condition she cannot resist diseases which under normal conditions are never fatal. One of the most remarkable sights I witnessed in Australia was the driving through the principal streets of Melbourne, Victoria, of great flocks of sheep on their way to be Wool and Cattle Raised in Australia By O'NEIL SEVIER, New York One of the most remarkable sights I witnessed in Australia was the driving through the principal streets of Melbourne, Victoria, of great flocks of sheep on their way to be sheared by electric machines instead of by the old hand process. Australia, it is well known, is the greatest wool-producing country in the world. If it were not for the sheep the country probably would be in a bad way. Hundred of thousands of merino sheep go daily through Melbourne's streets, and the most remarkable thing about it is the way the sheep are herded by the dogs. These dogs, English sheep dogs and kelpies, dodge in and out among electric cars and other vehicles, rounding up the sheep and keeping them together. It is wonderful how well trained these dogs are and how successful in mastering the sheep. The dogs know just what is expected of them, and, without the direction of men, they can take a flock of thousands of sheep through the busy thoroughfares. Cattle also are driven in the same manner. I was somewhat surprised to learn that the landed aristocracy of Australia is comprised almost wholly of what once were known as "squatters." They are the wealthy people of the commonwealth. It may seem somewhat inconsistent that in a country the government of which is controlled by the labor party there should be laws so liberal. Women are allowed to attend prize fights, for instance, and members of state and federal legislatures are frequently seen at the ringside. There is no disposition to curb sporting events of any kind, and it is a good argument against the reformers to note that there is little disorder in any of the great cities of Australia, and likewise little drunkenness. Why such a tremendous fuss about the British polo team defeating ours, or about an American crew winning a boat race on the Thames, or when some of our picked athletes beat Isolated Sport Tests Are Not Conclusive By A. F. HOFMAN, Brooklyn, N. Y. Why such a tremendous fuss about the British polo team defeating ours, or about an American crew winning a boat race on the Thames, or when some of our picked athletes beat some British picked athletes? Are these isolated tests really conclusive? Do they actually prove physical superiority over England? The real question at issue is, or should be, whether American or British youth is the more sturdy; whether American or British manhood is the better developed physically; whether American or Briton has the more stamina. These things are not decided by individual contests. Nay, even supremacy in individual games is not thus decided, for it is not really the question whether our best golf or tennis player is better than England's best, but whether the general run of our golf and tennis players are better than the general run of the British, and so in every other sport. It does not matter much whether we excel over the British in sport or not. The great point is to have our youth develop physically and mentally in the ways in which sport aids, but, as international rivalry is healthy, I should like to see a real test, say, between the hundred best of England and the hundred best of America in all branches of international sport. It is strange that the most important words in our Declaration of Independence are seemingly never noticed. These are "that to secure these rights governments are instituted Let Tomorrow Take Care of Itself By I. N. ALBRIGHT, St. Louis, Mo. It is strange that the most important words in our Declaration of Independence are seemingly never noticed. These are "that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed," and that "whenever any form of government becomes destructive of those ends it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it." These men were wise enough to know that no one can tell what tomorrow may bring forth and properly decided to let tomorrow take care of itself. The nonobservance of that by church and state in assuming that God Almighty must conform to their edicts has resulted in the absurdities called "human governments," which are truly the curse of the world. How utterly idiotic it is for one generation to attempt the statement of rules to which coming generations must conform! The absurdity of such presumption is obvious. The coming government will be an effort to know our place in nature and live in harmony with its laws. The stench from the devil's government and laws is reaching to heaven, whence the Ruler will soon apply such disinfectants as are needed. This means that the millennium is near, but Armageddon lies between.

(Concluded.) That Satan will appear to human beings within a few years, represent- ing himself to be Christ, and that he is a real being who lives on this earth, were statements made by Pastor J. W. Owens in a sermon at the Seventh-Day Adventist church, on Glenarm street, near Twenty-ninth. Instead of having hoofs, horns and a tail, or being a myth. according to a popular belief, the devil is a wicked and deceptive angel of entrancing beauty. “At the present time the devil has a throne on this earth,” he said, “although it is not now visible to human eyes.” Reyelation 14:6, 7 was Pastor Ow- en's text, “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, fear God, and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment is come; and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.” He said, in part: “That text implies a need of calling upen men to worship God. There are only two powers in this world which can be worshipped. You must wor. ship either God or the Devil. There is no middle ground. Christ said, ‘He that is not for me is against mes “In the last you will find practically the entire world worshipping Satan, and yet think that they are worship: ping God, just as the Christian world does, But Paul says, ‘They changed the truth of God into a lie, and wor- ‘shipped and served the creature more than the Creator.’ The creature they serve is Satan. “A description of Satan, or Lucifer, is given in Ezekiel 28. He was the most beautiful creature God ever made. In heaven he stood next to Christ. He coveted the throne of God. As Absalom is said in If Samuel 14 and 15 to haye stolen away the hearts of Israel, so that they revolted against King David, so Lucifer stole away the hearts of the angels of God. ‘And there was war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the Dragon; and the Dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the Dragon was cast out, that old ser- pent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world; he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.’—Reve- lation 12:7-9. Satan carried with him a third of the heavenly host in his rebellion. “From planet to planet the deceiver went, seeking a foothold. He was re- fused allegiance until he succeeded in hypnotizing Eve. Snakes today hyp- notize their victims. The man who hypnotizes is using the power of the Devil. They yielded themselves to do his bidding, He obtained dominion over them. They became a part. of his kingdom. Satan became the God of this world. “It is not to the interest of the Devil's cause to appear to men in per- son, although he has done so several times, and will again before long. It is in crises that he appears. Some think, because they have never seen the Devil, that people are not pos- sessed with wicked spirits today as they were in ancient times. But if they could have heard the story of a woman told us for four hours a few days ago, of the torture which evil spirits have inflicted upon her, they would change their views. “The Devil and his angels are real beings. He is working with all his power, and he claims possession of his subjects today as he did in the days when Christ was upon earth. As we heard from the lips of that woman the awful story of demon possession, we knew that behind it was the cry of the human heart, ‘Help, or I am lost!” “The Devil is a diligent Bible stu- dent. He knows more about the Bible than we do. It is to his interest to study it. He knows that he has only a short time. And the day will soon come when Christ will kill him. ‘Then he will be brought to ashes upon the earth. “Satan has perverted the truth of God. You are not safe unless you fol- low God’s Word closely. If you ne- glect the study of your Bible he will surely entrap you. God asks us to keep all his commandments and to follow the Bible strictly. WORTHY HIGH PLACE Large Number of Dishes That Are Easy to Prepare, and Deliclous— Should Be No Problem to the Home Cook. But the ways of cooking the artl- choke are legion. Some of these are genuine “creations” of celebrated chefs and are too elaborate for the practical housewife. Others are sim- ple enough to be within the reach of any home cook, and the dishes that can be made from artichokes are so varied and delicious that we are glad to give some of the simpler of these recipes. ‘Try them and see if you have not gained a delightful addition to your bill of fare, Artichokes Hollandalse—Boil _artl- chokes in salted water. Drain; serve on platter garnished with parsley and lemon. Serve hollandaise sauce sep- arate. Artichokes In Combination Salads. — An infinity of combination salads may be made with the artichoke as the principal ingredient; artichoke hearts, with lettuce, chicory or escarolle and & few asparagus points, or with a lit tle cauliflower, string beans, carrots and two or three anchovies; or chopped chicken and celery and peas or stoned olives and sardines boned, skinned, etc.; all are palatable if good dressing is used and everything well chilled. Artichokes With Mayonnaise.—Boll the artichokes 20 minutes in well salted water. Serve hot, or thorough- ly chilled, with mayonnaise. If it Is desired that the artichoke should be of @ bright green color when cooked, add one-half cup of vinegar to the boiling water when the artichokes are placed in it. Artichokes Scrambled With Eggs.— Cut in very small pieces the arti chokes from which have been removed the stem, points and hard outer leaves. Cook slowly in olive oll or butter. Season to taste; when cooked, break in eggs; mix all together. Cook and serve. Artichokes (Popular Style).—Re move one-half an inch from the sharp points of the leaves. Cut the stalks close. Wash in vinegar and cold water to draw out any insects that may be there. Drain and lay art! chokes in a pot of boiling salted wa ter; boll gently until you can draw leaf easily, but do not cook too much Drain upside down till dry. Serve hot with sauce hollandaise or cold with plain french dressing, tartar sauce o1 mayonnaise. The time for boiling wil take from 25 minutes to one hour, ac cording to the size and age of the art! choke. Artichoke Hearts With Cream Sauce —Remove the hard outer leaves and the pointed ends of the artichokes leaving only the tender parts; parboi these; cut each in four pieces; put them in a casserole with butter, pep per, salt, a little flour, cream or milk and boil all together until the sauce {s perfectly blended and reduced tc the quantity needed to serve proper ly.—The Delineator.

Cut three pounds of chicken halibut in one-inch slices and cook them in a ‘court bouillon made from two quarts of cold water, one carrot, two onions, one-half a wineglassful of vinegar and ‘seasoned to taste with thyme, bay leaves, parsley root, salt and whole ‘pepper.

Make a dressing from one soupspoan. ful of french tarragon mustard, one spoonful of vinegar, three spoonfuls, of olive ofl, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of minced chervil and chives and pepper to taste. Dripless Tea Strainer. ‘Tea strainers that Will not drip o- stain a tablecloth are now being man- ufactured. The perforated mesh for straining the tea 1s on top of one end of a deep bowlshaped spoon which forms the bottom when strainer is resting on the table. When in use the strainer is held sidewise over a cup so that the tea flows into the bowl and then back through the perfora- tlons. Any Mquid that is left in the perforations drips back into the bowl when the strainer {s laid down.—Pop- ilar Medhaniie? Egg and Sardine Salad. Slice one head of celery and four hard-boiled eggs, and place in salad bowl. Mash yolks of the eggs, fou sardines, salt and pepper together and use enough cream to form a thick paste.

A little of the measure of flour worked into the creamed sugar and butter before the milk is added will often prevent the slight fall when cake needs five minutes more of oven heat. DO ONE THING AT A TIME Too Many Housekeepers Lack System and as a Resuit Work Hard With Little Results. ‘There 1s a good old saying which {s familiar in its excellent advice to “let the head saye the heels.” But the hervous, energetic modern woman, whose head, full of a score of things to be done immediately, is usually far in advance of her heels, finds the an- cient and honorable axiom, “one thing at a time,” far better suited to her case. The woman who, passing through her bedroom to get her pocketbook out of @ bureau drawer to pay the milk- man, notices that the bed valance 1s awry, stoops to adjust It and observes dust on the table leg near by, pauses to seize the duster from its bag, re- marks that the duster should go into the wash, steps into the bathroom to drop it in the laundry bag, remembers that the laundry bag should be mend- ed this week, carries it to her sewing table, notes that she will need more white spool cotton before the dress- maker comes, catches up a pencil to Jot down the memorandum and there- upon discovers on her memo pad half @ dozen things which must positively be attended to before lunch time, is very Ukely to have a nervous break- down before her vacation time comes around, and her husband probably wonders what on earth she has had to make her so nervous. very good housekeeper knows that enough small matters can be carried in the head in one morning to keep the heels of three maids, a hired man and all the children running most of the afternoon; and in these days when bridge, charitable interests and club affairs occupy one part of the feminine mind and household business the oth- er, the woman who refuses to allow herself to be harassed and distracted by too many thoughts at once, but who attends to one thing at a time with her whole mind, is she who keeps se- Tene and avoids the great American breakdown at fifty. BETTER THAN HOT VEGETABLE Salads, Easily Made and Inexpensive Should Have Place on Table In Summer. It 1s not necessary to have expen- sive asparagus tips or pimentos to make the most delicious salad. The humble string bean, carrot, turnip, beet and lima bean offer most delight ful possibilities. Finely shredded cab- bage with lima beans and grated car- carrot is most attractive. Beets and string beans combine well, and to those who like to make salads, even the smallest scraps of left-over can be utilized to advantage. So then, in your summer cooking, substitute the salad for the hot, steam ing vegetable. It will save time and bother because then you can boil it in the early coolness of the day, lay in the feebox, and have all prepared for night without needing to bother just at supper-time. Wash and clean the lettuce early in the day, wrap in a bag of paper toweling or square of clean cheesecloth and put it in the {ce- box, and your salad is practically done. A summer supper in some form of espic, meat loaf, or even a hot meat dish, together with a vegetable salad dressed with plenty of olive oil, fruit and bread and butter Is ideal. . alee ae moe he | Two solid, ripe tomatoes, two sweet ‘green peppers, or one green and one yellow pepper, a Spanish onion and plain French dressing, with crisp ten- der lettuce. If you cannot get the yel- low peppers see if you cannot get yel- low (large) tomatoes in order to get a genuine Spanish combination of col- ors. Slice the vegetables nice and thin, throwing the onfon and pepper in ice water for half an hour. Drain and arrange in alternate layers on the bed ot lettuce. Sprinkle a few chopped, pickled nasturtiums or a chopped truf- fle over the whole and do not add the dressing until salad is served. Russian Chicken. The Russians have a delicious dish of stewed chicken which calls for a fat chicken, mushrooms, onion, caulifiow- er and one cupful of fresh or French canned peas. The chicken should be cut up as for fricasseeing, then stewed in boiling water, to which the raw vegetables have been added, the onions being added whole. Cook slow- ly tll tender. Drain off the gravy and thicken with flour and cream, place the chicken on a platter surrounded with the cooked vegetables and cov- ered with the gravy. Lactene, or Artificial Buttermilk. ‘This 1s decidedly a health beverage, as the lactic acid ferment it contains acts as a prophylactic against the putrefactive bacteria. The tablets may be purchased at any drug store and contain full directions for mak- ing. This 1s more nutritious than but- termilk, as {t 1s made of whole milk. To Clean Birdseye Maple. Birdseye maple furniture which has become solled and finger-marked can be cleaned very satisfactorily in the following manner: Wash the furnt- ture with @ soft rag and lukewarm water to which a little Kerosene has been added. Rub dry quickly and pol- ish with a soft cloth. Brolling Chicken. | A chicken for broiling should be wrapped in a buttered paper bag.

Fort Collins, Colo.—Arrested seven years ago in connection with the killing of John Allen, night policeman, who was waylaid in the jungles and beaten to death with a brick, released for want of evidence to fix the crime on his shoulders, Tom Harber, a former resident of Fort Collins, is again in jail awaiting action by the district attorney who will probably formally charge the prisoner with the murder of the police officer. Harber's second arrest came about when he appeared in Fort Collins and demanded the arrest of his wife, charging that she had deserted him and had gone to live with another man. The woman was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct. Harber was then informed that he, too, was under arrest and was placed in jail to await action by the district attorney. July 3 of this year, seven years to a day after the killing of Allen, the Fort Collins police learned that Harber was living in Lincoln, Neb., and word was sent to the Lincoln police asking them to arrest him. Harber disappeared and all trace of the suspect was lost until he came to Fort Collins in quest of his wife. After the killing of Allen seven years ago, Harber and two other men were arrested and held for investigation. Harber was released and later re-arrested and held as a witness. The Fort Collins police failed to connect Harber and the two other men with the crime, and all were released. Harber left Fort Collins and later the police came upon information that again led to suspect Harber, and a country-wide search was made for him. Weather and Crop Report. Denver. — According to P. McDonough, acting section director of the weather bureau, weather conditions during the past week were generally favorable to crop growth and farming operations, and all crops made satisfactory progress. The sunshine was generally abundant and temperature conditions were practically normal. Although the rainfall was generally less than the usual seasonal average, frequent and beneficial showers occurred over the entire state, but at the close of the week rain was needed in nonirrigated districts. The heavy rains of the preceding week damaged alfalfa in south-central countries. The harvesting of the second crop of alfalfa is practically finished and the third crop has had an excellent start. Wheat is being harvested and thrashed, the yield being exceptionally good. The condition of corn, sugar beets, potatoes, pastures, fruit, tomatoes and cantaloupes is notably good. Pears and early varieties of peaches are being shipped from Western fruit districts. Woman Postmaster Put Under Arrest Denver.—Margaret C.

Witness, Thomas L. Bonfilis, Clerk of the County Court, in and for the said City and County, of Denver, at his office in Denver, this 15th day of May, A. D. 1914, and the seal of said Court hereunto affixed. THOMAS L. BONFILS, Clerk of the County Court. (Seal) By IDA L. KNAPP. Deputy. W. B. Townsend, Attorney for Plaintiff. A A ONE-PIECE dress, with a skirt having a long Russian tunic, is shown here as an unusually good model for the slender and immature figure of the nearly grown girl. This dress is designed for the corsetless figure and leaves nothing to be desired as a model for the miss who is finishing her school days. The skirt is set on to the bodice and has a high waist line. The bodice is supported by a light underwaist and thus the weight of the garment is hung from the shoulders as well as the hips. Firmly woven light-weight serges and other close weaves are appropriate for this dress. Supple materials that fall gracefully are the best choice. There is an under petticoat, of lining, with a wide border of the material at the bottom. This straight-hanging skirt is cut to instep length and of ample width to insure perfect freedom in walking. The tunic is laid in boxplaits at the sides and back, with a straight panel at the front. The plaits are stitched down to the swell of the hips and fall free from there to the bottom. The panel is finished with a row of small covered buttons at each Costumes for the Afternoon M THE LADY'S WEDDING DRESS ONE can find enough of the new things every week to write a fair-sized volume on late fashions. Sometimes the makers of fashions take just one idea and develop it to such an extent that it takes column after column of newspaper space to describe the variations that have been rung in upon that idea. Take the ruffled skirt, for instance. When the minaret tunic was first introduced it was a shock because women of fashion had grown so accustomed to the straight line from hip to ankle that the cutting in half of the figure did not suit at all. After much grumbling and criticism, however, the idea was ac- side, and the skirt opens under it at the left side, where it fastens with snap fasteners. The loose and cleverly managed bodice is cut with sleeves and body in one piece. It insures perfect freedom to the arms. Fullness over the bust is provided by gathers at each side, let into the goods and laid in plaits which are stitched down over the shoulder. This arrangement helps out the deficiency which is usual in the undeveloped figure of the miss. A large sailor collar finishes the bodice, which opens over a vestee, or fuchu, as the case may be, of white organdie. The sleeves are long and close fitting about the wrist, where they are provided with a slit for the hand to go through. This is fastened down with snap fasteners and finished with two buttons like those on the skirt. Turned back cuffs of organdie are used as a neat finish for them. A broad sash of heavy ribbon in the rich colors which one finds in the roman stripes is draped about the figure below the waist line. It drops at the front, terminating under the panel of the skirt. M. cepted and even declared to be pretty. So much of the very inevitable is accepted with grace and change of heart. Taffeta is fulfilling amply the prophecies made concerning its popularity, and as an infinity of ways have been found of diversifying its appearance it is not becoming wearisome on account of reiteration. The photograph shows two of the very latest styles in afternoon dresses. At the left is a model of white crepe with embroidered border. On the right the costume is of embroidered voile with rose silk girdle. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
