DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, AUGUST 29 1914 NO. 1 Oklahoma Welcomes Session Of National Negro League (Special to Colorado Statesman.) Muskogee, Okla, August, 19. This wonderful city of the awakened West is crowded with thousands of progressive people gathered from the four corners of the country to attend the fifteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League, and to listen to Booker T. Washington and his victorious followers tell how their people have overcome. Fourteen cities have played host to the famous Business League, but no city, from Boston to Philadelphia, has presented a livelier scene in its preparation for the comfort and entertainment of the delegates of the league than this Wizard City of an engaging commonwealth. Nor has such a crowd of believers ever gathered for a feast of a new Isreal's Pensover. The capitol of a wonderful province of daring and achieving black people—Muskogee invited the black population of the whole country to come; and here they are by the inch, yard and league—countable, but uncounted! The delegates began arriving Monday. Special trains and special league Pullman cars, an idea fathered and promoted by the ever planning Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the league, brought them in by the hundreds. And from far away points special Pullmans came, laden with a cargo of purpose, dignity and achievement; black and proud of it; having and determined to have more. The homes of this thriving city, homes of comfort, convenience, homes set in the West, but fashioned in the East, are open houses to the delegates. The heart of the West is worn on the sleeve, and the sleeve is too long to measure. Muskogee presents the attire of the holiday. Everywhere is the picture of Booker T. Washington, and no color line has been drawn in the placing of this picture, nor in the flags and bunting hanging everywhere, nor in the heart touching welcome seen in every eye and heard in every "how d.y'do." Music is as free as oil, and the rith oil, and the rich blacks out here are present to tell about having "too much oil to burn." PACKED HOUSE AT OPENING The program started off in reg- ular routine before a jammed house. It was business from the fall of gavel. "I have done it and I am not afraid to tell it"—that was the keynote of the meeting. Tonight more people than a king could number tried to squeeze into Convention Hall to listen to the annual address of Booker T. Washington. The people saluted him with the voice of pride. He finished a wonderful appeal to his army of peace and progress more than ever the unmatched leader! "Lord, spare him until the harvest days." prayed one brother overcome, but balanced. 1930 P. Dr. Washington spoke in part as follows: Throughout the world the ten millions and more of black people in the United States are being observed and studied in a larger measure than is true of any similar group of black people in existence, or perhaps that has ever existed. People from all parts of the must follow the ten Master when he says evil with good."

For this reason, as well as for the sake of ourselves, it is a matter of extreme importance that we not disappoint ourselves nor those who are studying and observing us. Within the fifty years of our freedom, and even before physical freedom came, great and almost marvelous progress has been made, but we must not rest upon the past we must continue to go forward. I believe that the time has come when we was a race should begin preparing to enter upon a new policy and a new program. In plain but in emphatic words I want to suggest whether the time has not come when we should get off the defensive in things that concern our present and future, and begin to inaugurate everywhere an aggressive and constructive progressive policy in business industry, education, moral and religious life and in our conduct generally. We [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. must follow the teachings of the Master when he said, "Overcome evil with good." A general, however able, who contents himself with merely holding the territory that he occupies, or merely devotes himself to defending himself against the assaults of the enemy, is not the general who gains renown for genuine leadership or gains the confidence of the world. A general who occupies much of his time in explaining the weakness of the enemy or the unjust assaults or tactics of the enemy is not the general who wins many battles; so it is in business of every kind. EMPHASIZE OUR OPPORTUNITIES. It is not well for us or our children that we should dwell so much on the defensive, with the negative side of life instead of the positive side. It is not well that our minds should be so continually centered upon our miseries or upon those who mistreat us. In the future let us emphasize our opportunities more and our difficulties less. Let us talk more about our white friends, and about our white enemies less. We do our children a lasting injustice when we feed them constantly upon the miseries of the race. Let us talk about the man who has got a job, and less about the man without a job. Let our fraternal and secret societies talk less about sickness and death, and more about health and life. Let our societies spend less money in taking care of the sick, and much more money in promoting the health of the race and they will have to spend less on account of sickness and death. Instead of giving the world a chance to discuss the high death rate of the Negro let us put the world to wondering why the Negro keeps so healthy and strong. Let us make health contagious in every community rather than disease. I often deplore the fact that so many of our men's organizations, women's clubs and best newspapers devote so much time to merely resenting something or "getting back" at some unfriendly critic, instead of devoting more ttime to constructive and progressive measuas. Too often insignificant occurrences and insignificant individuals are given an importance and an advertisement by organizations and newspapers that is unnecessary and hurtful. Let us, in the future, spend less time talking about the part of the city we cannot live in, and more time in making the part of the city that we live in beautiful and attractive. Let us get off the defensive in explaining why the house that we live in so often has the gate off the hinge, the fence palings gone, windows and doors broken out, and plastering knocked off. Instead of this, let us put people to talking about the beauty and attractiveness of the house occupied by our people. Let us make such progress in these directions that the other fellow will be kept so busy talking our progress that he will have no time to abuse us. Let us acquire wealth and intelligence so fast that the world will forget our poverty and ignorance. Let us be so thrifty and industrious that people will have no time to talk about our carelessness and idleness. Let us make the Negro so law-abiding that people will talk less about the criminal Negro and more about the one who obeys the law. W. H. With the Colorado Statesman's familiarity with Republican politics and its knowledge of Isaac N. Stevens for more than twenty-six years as a public man filling various city positions in the legal sphere, and as a politician, a true hearted full-blooded Republican it is surprising that this man of marked ability and sterling worth had not been called upon ere now to fill some important State position where he could be of more service and greater help to the people of the State, instead of confining him to the circumscribed city and county area. He can be termed THE MAN OF THE HOUR, as at this time when so many important questions pertaining to State and Country are exhibiting themselves with extraordinary power there can and must be placed in positions to combat successfully with such grave issues only men of I. N. Stevens' calibre and stamina to help to shape our destinies. Fearless in actions that tend to the good of a people irrespective of class, creed, or color, devoted to duty in his present position of City Attorney of the City and County of Denver, undaunted in his determination to suppress vice and corruption upholding the dignity and morality attached to public positions and their occupants it must be said of him that his righteous principles warrant and deserve the respect and confidence of the people, and the staunch support of not only Republicans but the other parties, as he has established a record record to none in his management of things governmental in his invaluable assistance from time to time to our Municipal Authorities. It is not necessary to enumerate the different things that Mr. Stevens has accomplished as a public man, nor the great savings he has brought about in his opposition to long drawn out litigations in which the City and County of Denver formed a party; but the facts stare us in the face that no better choice could be made by the Republican Assembly for United States Senator than I. N. Stevens, and the Colorado Statesman not only indorses but advises very strongly the colored voters to vote solidly for him on Tuesday, Sept. 8th, as we will have a friend to help our cause in any Bilis that may be brought before the House wherein our freedom and liberty will be deprived us by segregation or any other evil. Every Republican and every independent and unbiased voter therefore in Colorado will be serving their own and their State's best interests in casting the vote for I. N. Stevens—the MAN OF THE HOUR. [Portrait of a man in formal attire, set against a decorative frame with an American flag motif.] OPPOSED TO STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION PRESIDENT WILSON LEAVES NO DOUBT AS TO HIS VIEWS ON PROHIBITION. HE SAYS: "I am in favor of local option. I am a thorough believer in local self-government, and believe that every self-governing community which constitutes a social unit should have the right to control the matter of the regulation or the withholding of licenses." With his wonderful breadth of vision, President Wilson has been able to see, through the maze of prohibition fallacy, the growing tendency on the part of the American people to return more strongly than ever to the beliefs of the early American statesmen whose farseeing wisdom was invoked in the formation of the government that has served as a model for all liberty-loving races. He has witnessed the utter failure of state-wide prohibition to accomplish the result for which it was intended in Maine, in Tennessee, in Georgia, in West Virginia and in Kansas, where either the open saloon, without regulation, or the "blind tiger" and "boot-legger" have supplied the demand of the human appetite, and where the evil of intemperance has grown by leaps and bounds. Despite the demands of the fanatics for more stringent prohibitory laws, the President has calmly watched the result of local option, where it has been tried, and has reached the logical conclusion that in that doctrine lies the solution of the liquor problem. VOTE AGAINST STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION MOONSHINERS Flourish in Dry Georgia, According to Report of United States Revenue Agents Atlanta, Ga., July 29.—An increase of approximately 300 per cent in the number of illicit distilleries in Georgia since the "dry" law went into effect is shown in a report sent to the Internal Revenue Department at Washington by J. H. Surber, revenue agent, for the fiscal year ending June 10 last. Surber charges the difference was caused by the increased demand for liquor, and says the moonshiners are getting $3 a gallon where they formerly had been able to sell for only $1. INSANITY AND PAUPERISM, KAN SAS AND NEBRASKA. It is claimed by the advocates of state-wide prohibition that the prohibition states over the country have not only less pauperism and less insanity but less crime, on the average, in proportion to population than the "wet" states. Kansas is the model "dry" state and Nebraska, her nearest neighbor, with like natural conditions is "wet." Surber has jurisdiction over Georgia, Alabama and Florida. In these states his men destroyed 1,301 stills and made cases against 1,153 persons, two of whom were women. Georgia mountaineers operated 948 of those establishments, it is said. In Georgia's last "wet" years only 480 "stills" were found by the revenue officers in Georgia, Florida and Alabama. Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott says: "It was not the method of Jesus. He lived in an age of total abstinence societies and did not join them. He emphasized the distinction between His methods and those of John the Baptist, that John came neither eating nor drinking; the Son of Man came eating and drinking. He condemned drunkenness, but never in a single instance lifted His voice in condemnation of drinking." The following are the official statistics: The federal census report of insane and feeble-minded in institutions in 1910 (Bulletin 119), gives these figures for Kansas and Nebraska: Insane in hospitals January 1, 1910: Kansas, 2,912; Nebraska, 1,990. Admitted in 1910: Kansas, 905; Nebraska, 411. Insane with alcoholic psychosis, admitted in 1910: Kansas, 70; Nebraska, 20. Feeble-minded in institutions, January 1, 1910: Kansas, 420; Nebraska, 446. Admitted in 1910: Kansas, 86; Nebraska, 23. ALLIES SMASH GERMAN ATTACK ALLIES SMASH GERMAN ATTACK RUSS ARMY HOLDS EAST PRUSSIA AFTER TEN-DAY GRAPPLE AT CLOSE RANGE. REVERSES ON BORDER KONIGSBERG AND DANZIG ARE FORTS THAT NOW CHECK RUSSIAN ADVANCE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, Aug. 27.—After ten days of desperate hand-to-hand fighting, Russia is in possession of nearly all of east Prussia, according to the military correspondent of the Daily Express. The strongly fortified German positions have been carried, one after another, at the point of the bayonet. The Russian soldiers, trained in this method of attack, have charged in the face of rapid-fire guns and have driven the enemy out of their entrenchments, slaughtering all who offered resistance. The ferocity of the Russian form of attack is shown by the fact that many of the defenses have been taken by the use of hand grenades. Thrown at close range one of these exploding shells frequently killed thirty or forty German soldiers time and time again. The same close fighting, in which the infantry soldiers creep under cover as close to the enemy's trenches as possible, then, leaping to their feet and firing as they run, fall upon the defenders with their bayonets, has won for the Czar's forces decisive victories against Austria. The Russian army invading east Prussia is stated on the highest authority to number the astounding total of 3,000,000 men, while the reserve army of 5,000,000 is slowly following up their victorious march. The only success claimed by the German-Austrian allies took place near Krasnik in Russian Poland. There, the official dispatches say, a battle of three days' duration ended in a complete Austrian victory. The Russian forces were repulsed along the entire front of forty miles and are now in full flight in the direction of Lublin. The military correspondent of the Nieuwe Courant at The Hague declares he is able to state on trustworthy authority that the Germans plan to abandon temporarily east and west Prussia and Pomerania to the Russians and withdraw slowly to the River Oder, where the main defenses of Berlin lie. Germany, according to the correspondent, appears to have undertaken this measure to give time to her army operating against France to try and deal the British and French armies their death blow and then march on to Paris, the distance between Mons and Paris being four times less than the distance between St. Petersburg and Berlin. The Germans in the Elbing district of east Prussia near the Vistula river, are fleeing westward before the Russian advance. A St. Petersburg dispatch to the Reuter Telegram Company says that the Russian troops in eastern Prussia have occupied the towns of Nordenburg, Sensburg and Bischofsburg and the railway station at Rothflies, and adds that the Russian advance continues. In eastern Galacia the Russians have driven back the Austrian rear guard beyond the River Zeota Llpa, which runs north and south, about thirty miles west of Tarnopol. A dispatch from Bucharest, via Rome, says that the Russian columns invading Galacia have occupied Tarnopol, an important city eighty miles east, southeast of Lemberg, capital of Galacia. Three Austrian army corps are said to be opposing them. The Russian embassy issued the following statement: "In eastern Prussia, on Aug. 24, the line of the River Angerap, although fortified for defense, was abandoned by the enemy without an attempt to offer resistance. Insterburg and Angersburg are occupied by the Russian troops. The enemy has retreated in great disorder, partly towards Koenigsburg and partly toward Rostenburg. From the front Ortelsburg-Soldau the Russians are gradually advancing, the enemy retiring to Osterode and leaving several guns, machine guns, ammunition wagons and provisions." The Times St. Petersburg correspondent says that the Germans, who retreated by forced marches after their defeat by the Russians at Gumbinnen, are assembling a part of their forces at Konigsberg. The German fortified position on the River Angerab was abandoned without fight. "The roads beyond the Angerab are strewn with cartridges, knapsacks and equipment, cast aside in the hasty flight of the German troops," says the Times correspondent. "North of Neidenburg there was stubborn fighting in which the Russians were again victorious, largely through their superb use of the bayonet. The enemy here had established the entire Twentieth army corps in a fortified position. The Russians had to negotiate pits and barbed wire before they could get at their opponents. 1,500 REFUGEES REACH NEW YORK ARRIVED ON LINERS FROM COP. PENHAGEN, GENOA, PALER- MO AND NAPLES. ENVOY TO FRANCE SAILS WILL NOT PRESENT CREDEN- TIALS UNTIL PLANS OF HER- RICK ARE CARRIED OUT. Western Newspaper Union News Service. New York, Aug. 27.—Nearly 1,500 Americans stranded in Europe at the outbreak of the war reached New York on the Scandinavian line steamer Oscar II from Copenhagen and the Italian liner Taormina from Genoa, Palermo and Naples. The Oscar II brought in 1,104 passengers, of whom 784 came in the steerage. Nearly all were Americans. The Taormina had 768 aboard, of whom several hundred were Americans. Sixty-seven Americans came in the Taormina's steerage. Among the ships sailing from New York was the Wilson liner Francisco with two 4.7 caliber rifles mounted on her rear deck. These, her officer says, were merely a saluting battery. Her destination is Hull. The destruction of a British collier in the river Elbe was witnessed by Mrs. Emma Muir of this city, who was in Vienna at the outbreak of hostilities between Austria and Russia. While proceeding down the river Elbe, she said, they saw a British collier strike a mine and blow up with all hands. Their boat stopped and a government boat came alongside with the news that England had declared war. Mr. and Mrs. William Hitt, the latter formerly Miss Katherine Elkins, were in Norway at the outbreak of the war. They said they had made the trip to Copenhagen without unusual experience. The Campania, with 400 passengers, many of whom were said to be English and French reservists, and the France, with approximately 500 passengers, most of them French reservists, sailed. William G. Sharp, newly appointed ambassador to France, sailed on the France. He said that he would not present his credentials in Paris for some time, as Ambassador Herrick had mapped out certain plans of a routine nature for the assistance of Americans in France, which he wished to carry out. Sharp said he would do all he could to aid Herrick in this, withholding his credentials to the French government in the meantime. MAYTORENA AGAINST CARRANZA Sonora Governor Says He'll Seek to Dislodge "Enemies of Honest Government." Nogales, Sonora, Mex—Jose Maria Maytorena, governor of Sonora, announced that he had come here at the head of 2,000 or more troops to dislodge "the enemies of honest government." Maytorena is supported by Gen. Francisco Villa. Those whom he proposes to war against have the support of Carranza. Maytorena, in a signed statement, declared his action was decided upon when Carranza, after having banished supporters of the governor, ignored his protests and demanded his resignation. "I have no political ambition," Maytorena concluded. "My only wish is to serve my country, and I will gladly turn my office over to a duly elected successor in 1915."

A strict censorship has been placed on the newspapers in Turkey, which are now controlled by the military authorities and are being used, according to diplomatic dispatches here, to create a strong pro-German feeling.

Premier Viviani visited Elysee Palace at 10:15 o'clock last evening and notified President Poincare that the members of the Cabinet decided to resign collectively. He said that he and his colleagues had come to the conclusion that in the circumstances through which the country was passing the ministry should save a wider scope and comprise all the best men in all the republican group. President Poincare charged M. Viviani with the task of organizing a new Cabinet, which the Premier accepted. He returned to the Elysse about an hour later and made known to the President the composition of the new Ministry, with himself as President, without portfolio.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Fifty years of neglect have engendered conditions which the new-born zeal of southern whites, armed with all the wisdom which modern social science can furnish, will be hard put to combat. And alas! the south had first to forge her own weapons, nay, even to build the forge. In all the south there was no training school for social workers, few social experts, few libraries of social science. The single library of Columbia university contains more valuable books than are owned by all the colleges of the south put together. So the first thing was to train leaders, all the way from district nurses to sanitary engineers. The new south is daring. It not only contemplated a school for social workers whose faculty of white experts should teach in a negro department as well as in classes of their own people, but it dreamed of rallying seven religious denominations to the support of the training school. The dream has come true. The American Interchurch College for Religious and Social Workers opens its doors on the 14th of January. The negro department, opened on the fiftieth anniversary of the proclamation of emancipation, has been in operation almost a year. The school has astutely sat itself down in the shadow of Vanderbilt university and Peabody college (training school for normal teachers) in order to establish a co-operative triad, no one of the colleges duplicating the advantages of the other two, students of one passing freely to lectures in the others. Since the negro department is situated at a little distance (and also because negro students in the south do not go to a white college), professors and social experts from the north will repeat their addresses at Nashville Institute for Negro Christian Workers. Economy is achieved by this happy arrangement. Each of the seven cooperating denominations will eventually have its own training-school on the campus, building and owning their own halls and giving at their own expense all instruction in denominational doctrine, polity and methods, while the Interchurch college provides a faculty to give all courses which can be taken in common by all the students. This amounts to about four-fifths of the whole curriculum. The social service library, already opened, will be at the command of all, and a chapel, gymnasium and administration building for common use. No such audacious system of church co-operation has yet been launched in America, nor do I know its parallel anywhere. It is estimated that the maintenance of seven distinct denominational schools with seven distinct faculties would require an annual outlay of $105,000. Yet the seven, together with the training schools maintained by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. can be handled co-operatively for $70,000 a year. The saving is actual, too, for the demand for social workers of every sort is so strong throughout the south that the denominations would be compelled to build independently had it not been for the Interchurch college. The south is full of the raw material for social work, college men and women who want only expert training to make the finest kind of instruments. The south needs not imported northern experts, but home-bred workers who know their ground—Mary Bronson Hartt in Washington (D. C.) Star. In these days of great achievements it is possible to reach heights before unknown by short cuts. The Japanese have assimilated western civilization in about a half century from the time, in 1853, when Commodore Perry of the United States navy first entered the harbor of Tokyo, the capital of Japan, and forced the Japanese to give up their policy of isolation and nonintercourse with foreign nations. There is no question that the colored people have assimilated American civilization in 300 years of contact and are today the equals of the other varieties which make up cosmopolitan America. The difference between the literacy of the white and colored peoples is not so great as the census would seem to indicate. The dense mass of ignorance is in the South, and the difference between the literacy of the southern colored man and the southern white man is very small. In Chicago, owing to the large foreign population and the fact that all native citizens have had equal advantages, there is probably less illiteracy among the colored people than among the whites. Russia has 57,612 miles of navigable inland waterways; Germany, 11,293; France, 7,862; England, 3,906; Holland, 3,250; Sweden, 3,187, and Belgium, 1,440. The value of gold produced in the Gold Coast and Ashanti during 1912, was $2,045,465, the largest production on record. There are 1,237 British gas companies in England and Wales, 260 in Scotland, 110 in Ireland, 161 in Australia and 72 in other British possessions. Some twenty thousand persons are attracted usually to Hampton institute, the pioneer industrial and agricultural training school for negro and Indian youth, founded in 1868 by Gen. Samuel C. Armstrong at Hampton, Va. These visitors from all parts of the world, are attracted by the unique and effective educational methods which Hampton institute has been successfully employing for over forty-five years in training negroes and Indians for unselfish and efficient service in the home, on the farm, in the shop, and in the kitchen. Hampton institute is an industrial village with some 1,200 or 1,300 students, 200 teachers and workers, 140 buildings, and an instruction farm of some 600 acres. Whatever work the Hampton school needs to have done, the students are usually prepared to do. Farming, home-making, teaching and the common industries form vital parts in the training of Hampton institute boys and girls. Blacksmithing, brick-laying and plastering, carpentry and cabinetmaking, machine work, painting, printing, shoe-making, steamfitting and plumbing, tailoring, tinsmithing, upholstering and wheelwrighting, are the trades which are offered by the Hampton Institute Trade school. In the busy shops, on the scaffoldings of new structures, in odd nooks and corners of the Hampton grounds, negro and Indian carpenters have for many years been daily mastering the building art and have been preparing themselves for life's emergencies by learning how to make the best possible use of their resources—time tools, skill and moral qualities. Today the construction of the Hampton institute buildings and the necessary repairs are being satisfactorily done by student tradesmen. When it was necessary to remodel the principal's home, one of the oldest buildings on the Hampton campus, negro and Indian tradesmen did the necessary tearing down and building up. These operations were no easy tasks. The bulk of the work had to be done in hot and trying weather. The boys labored with a will. They were happy to have an opportunity of doing well what professional builders considered a difficult piece of work. The College of Missions, which is in the charge of the Flanner House settlement, has bought three adjoining vacant lots in Colton street, Indianapolis, which will be converted into a playground. The Flanner house owns four pieces of property and four lots. Plans are being made for an extension of the work. The free cooking school, which is being conducted this summer under the supervision of Mrs. Marlon Colefisher, has met with the heartiest response, especially from the mothers in the neighborhood. The work is in the charge of two young women from the College of Missions, one of whom is neighborhood nurse. The main building has been remodeled and things will be in readiness for a resident worker this fall. Rev. H. G. Derthick, who has the supervision of the social settlement work being conducted in the city under the auspices of the College of Missions, is outlining plans to create larger interest in the children's department and to increase the force of volunteer family visitors. The play hour, which is conducted each Saturday during the school year, will be developed into a larger feature this year. An illustration of the value of effective training in the industrial arts is furnished in the graduates of Tuskegee, Booker T. Washington's school. There are more than one hundred of these trained young men and women in Chicago, according to Fannie Barrier Williams. A recent investigation shows that none of them is out of employment. The following is a partial list of the occupations in which they are engaged in this city: Two are practicing law, two are veterinary surgeons at the Union stock yards, three are undertakers, three are plumbers and steam-fitters, five are merchant tailors, two are shoemakers, three are dressmakers, two are electricians, one an assistant meat inspector at the stock yards, there are three trained nurses, three carpenters, ten clerks in the post office, one editor and publisher. Wireless telephoning between Paris and a suburb of Brussels recently was accomplished. Out of a total coinage of $62,800,000 produced by the Paris mint last year, $47,200,000 was in gold. To encourage boring for oil the government of South Australia has offered a large bonus to the first person or corporation producing 100,000 gallons of crude 90 per cent petroleum from a well. George Sanford of Bath, Me., has an old-fashioned mortar and pestle standing 14 inches in height, which has been in his family for 150 years. The United States mints made 186,621,871 coins, worth $37,496,530, last year. STYLE COMFORT and SERVICE Is What You Get at NING'S $2.50 Shoe And You Save a Dollar.

Tuesday, September 8th, is approaching, and our people, if they are to get in on the ground floor to have any recognition so as to be able to exercise the great and grand privilege of voting, must register now, which entitles them to participation in the primary election. Some folks do not consider this of much importance, but it is more acceptable to have some prior understanding of what you will do in the final that just go on groping in the dark with nothing to work on or nothing to hope for. The amount of registration of colored voters surpasses anything of its kind, as we are informed, and we are glad to see that at last there is a stir among us to use this right to our best possible advantage. Being Republicans, pure and untarnished, we feel proud of our party and urge the indorsement of the candidates chosen by the Republican assembly as every indication points to a return of prosperity and improvement with the return of the Republican party. No moping or groaning over the past, no stand-still action, nothing of the being content with the ills we have, but a rousing of spirit, thought and action with more zeal and greater effort for a restoration of the party Republican, who will greatly reduce and eventually exterminate all segregation actions from our government. Remember, Tuesday, September 8th, when you will rise up early, go to the polls and support the Republican candidates fearlessly and unhesitatingly. ANTI-PROHIBITION STARTS. The leaders of the opposition to state-wide prohibition have gotten down to real business, and so they are going to advocate their cause in a manner that will command the attention of the public as the simple, plain, naked facts of the wisdom of voting for LOCAL OPTION will be laid before them for full consideration and approval. Not only has the Business Men's Home Rule League indorsed the movement, but the labor organization has boldly at the annual convention of the State Federation of Labor in Pueblo, condemned by an unanimous vote the doctrine of state-wide prohibition. The expressions are numerous for the continuance of the present state of things as the ideas given out by the Anti-saloon League are not practicable to the safeguarding of the industries of Colorado. The ills resulting from a small percentage of men who overindulge in the use of alcohol do not form sufficient reason or warrantable basis for the depriving of a people's option on the interference with their general domestic privileges is the argument of the anti-prohibitionists, and in this fight they have the assurance of 50,000 patriotic citizens behind them to steer clearly from the rocks and shoals that are in the way of industrial progress in this state. The appeal is made to the sound judgment and reason of the voters to give another stunning blow to these reformers as was given them in 1912 in their villainous attempt to thrust conditions on a community who feel they ought to be their own dictators in such matters, when a majority of 40,877 proved their utter unwillingness to agree to prohibition. Placards with the picture of "Miss Colorado" with the shield in one hand, representing the Business Interests, and the sword in the other, representing the ballot, are seen adorning the billboards, and the expectation of the opposers of statewide prohibition is a determination to exercise the free use of the ballot to suppress for the second time and forever any attempt of invasion of the rights and liberties of the people. They are being supported on every side by those who have been following th progress of Colorado, having great experience of her pioneer days up to the present, and these supporters come out and emphatically declare themselves for local option. Be wise therefore and follow these who know from real and practical experience as their advice should count for something which ought to result in the indorsement of the action of the anti-prohibitionists.

Humanity Aided by the Hypocrite By AUGUST WESTMAN, Jr., Chicago Nothing was ever put on earth without some reason. Each thing and every thing has some use and was created for some purpose, good or bad. The hypocrite is no exception to the general rule. There is some reason for his being on earth. Most of us have taken a decidedly wrong view of this social bugaboo. Our estimation of him is not based on a scientific analysis of the variations of his character. He is accused of exerting a bad influence, but this has never been the vocation of any of my hypocritical acquaintances. A hypocrite does not show off his bad points if he has any. On the contrary, he makes it his business constantly to hide them and to show up the best that is in him, in fact making us believe him to be a perfect specimen of humanity. In doing this he produces a good effect, for he is pointed out as a model and people try to be like him in every way possible. Because he has hidden his imperfections—his degenerated faculties and selfishness—revealing only his better self, although deep in his heart he is a wretched poltroon, he is making better men and women of us all because we copy his best side. We copy his polite manner, his cordial friendliness, his religious professions, but instead of becoming like him we become vastly different. Because we copy only his good side, failing to see the bad, we become wholly good while he is partly bad. Therefore he is an unintentional benefactor to mankind, for by his designs he misleads us into thinking him a saint and in patterning our own lives after we are making an added step toward progress. Therefore let us not judge him by the evil in his heart, but rather by the good effect he has upon others. Let us give him at least a little credit for doing something to promote the welfare of the world. In short, let us give the hypocrite his just due. The only way that we can ever learn to better ourselves is by refusing to deny even the worst and most undeserving among us the privilege of knowing that even he has not lived his life in vain. Disease, Like Vice, Cannot Stand Publicity By RALPH H. FORRESTER, Chicago Dr. J. N. Hurty of Indiana, in an address before the recent meeting in Atlantic City of the American Medical association, asserted that there was no poverty other than poverty of health. It is true, and people all over the country are beginning to demand more knowledge as to ways and means of prevention, better methods of sanitation and right courses to pursue that public health may be conserved. Furtherance of prevention, forewarning as to poor sewage and wrong housing, choking off contagion before it spreads and doing all we can to draw a magic ring of healthy protection about the babies naturally and logically lower mortality. But such efforts do more than that—it is the birth-breath of race efficiency we are encouraging! There's the keyword! Efficiency! Poverty of health surely means poverty of efficiency, and no one who sees the light is going to shamble through life shouldering the additional burden of removable physical defects. We take the child and search for defects to have them removed because they must be cleaned away early; our teachers correct his stammering, and the beautiful results of a quickened mentality that come with a better physical condition immediately prove the methods that correlate efficiency. Science—cold, analytical science—has joined the "His Brother's Keeper" movement by proving much crime the result of disease and inefficiency. It continues to probe, to search, to make efficient. The search for the Holy Grail of Health is on, and disease, like vice, cannot stand publicity. German Labor Bureaus Aid Workingman By ROBERT C. FURY, Indianapolis, Ind. Although labor bureaus in Germany are operated by various elements they are marked by a continuity of purpose and action which makes them generally effective. Here is a brief description of the methods employed by one who has made a study of them: "In all the cities and towns and in almost all the hamlets there is at least an agency or an agent to whom any man in need of work or any employer in need of a worker can apply. Each bureau, each agent, is put in touch with the whole system, so that arriving even in a small town a worker can know in what direction to look for work and, what is equally important, in what direction not to look. "At the very least it saves time, and at the best it puts the workless in the right channel for finding work and the employer in the right channel for finding workers. This completeness of the system is one of the marked features of the success of the German labor bureaus. They are not commercial; they are free. They are not all alike. Some of them are private bureaus; some are managed by the trade unions, some by philanthropists, some by churches, most of them are municipal; but they are all connected and the government oversees the whole system, leaving out the fraudulent and inefficient, but banding the effective into one whole. "The government neither manages nor meets the cost of the local bureau. That is managed and financed by the local committee. The government simply finances and controls the means of intercommunication binding them together." Age of Criticism Rather Than Belief By REV. DR. KASTIE ODGERS Pastor of Epworth Episcopal Church, Chicago Ours is the age of criticism rather than one of confident belief. We have examined, tested and duly estimated everything. This attitude had to be, but may we not overdo it? Better too great credulity than too little. We are standing today in the light of our Easter. For the Christian this faith involves our loftiest aspirations. is it too great a hope for mankind? No, for we believe constantly; not too much, but too little. We are not too swift in trusting our hearts, but too slow. From all that we know we may say to our heart, believe. Did the primitive man dream of the man that was to be, and was it only a dream? But how little could he prophesy a Shakespeare or a Milton. Webster had a glorious hope for the future of the Union, yet he was confident that our vast wilderness in the west would be forever unoccupied by civilization. So it has ever been. Who that looked forward as a lover could forerealize the joy of such an experience? Who that ever entered into friendship with God but found him to surpass all expectations? Love and life, God and salvation, death and heaven; there all "we see through a glass darkly." We are too slow to trust ourselves to the great hope and truth of life.

Western Newspaper Union News Service. WESTERN. The Black Diamond, the official organ of the coal trade, reports a very optimistic change in business conditions throughout the country. An involuntary petition in bankruptcy was filed against the B. A. Lockwood Grain Company at Des Moines, Ia. Assets are given at $350,000 and liabilities at $250,000. Two were drowned in the Skunk river, north of Oskaloosa, Ia., when a boat overturned. The dead are L. E. Patterson, twenty-five, and Miss Zetta Miller, twenty. Both lived at New Sharon, Ia. William J. Mickel, deputy state food inspector at Grand Rapids, Mich., received a giant bomb through the malls. The inspector has been active lately in prosecutions at Muskegon and Manistee. Darius Miller, president of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, died at Glacier Park, Mont., after undergoing an operation for apendicitis. He had been touring the park with his wife in apparently good health. Two young girls, sisters, and a man who tried to save them, were drowned at a private bathing beach at the foot of Division street in Chicago while twenty other bathers battled with gigantic breakers in an effort to save them. The United States army transport Buford left San Francisco under orders to make a fast run to Galveston via the Panama canal, and thence to Europe, to assist in returning American refugees to this country.

Representative Kindel of Denver introduced a bill which provides that it shall be unlawful for any alien previous to having been admitted to citizenship to have, keep or bear firearms. Nomination of Attorney General McReynolds to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court, and Thomas W. Gregory to be attorney general, were ordered favorably reported to the Senate by the judiciary committee. At the request of Representative Taylor of Colorado the House of Representatives gave unanimous consent that President Wilson's recent address to American people on the subject of neutrality shall be printed in the Congressional Record. By a vote of 163 to 81 the House struck out of the railway mail pay bill the Cullop amendment removing all assistant postmasters, clerks and employés in local postoffices from civil service.

Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador, who has just returned from London, conferred at length with Secretary Bryan and Counselor Lansing on the general subject of American neutrality.

IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF JOB PRINTING At a coroner's inquest, Mrs. Richardson was held responsible for Donelson's death, but the jury found that the woman was protecting her honor and that the killing was justifiable.

THE LADY OF THE ROOM Girdles That Are Popular Just Now ```markdown ``` IN SPITE of the changing styles there are gowns which are designed along lines that remain and are acceptable for several seasons. In designing a party gown it is a matter of good judgment to select conservative models in order that a dress which receives no hard service may outlast a single season or be easily remodeled. This is more especially true when high-priced fabrics are chosen. A very pretty gown, designed for a dinner dress or for parties, is shown in the picture, and has an advantage in that it is suitable to both youthful and older wearers. A glance at the model convinces one that it might have been worn at any season for several years without clashing with the prevailing fashions. The model pictured is a brilliant design made up of rose-colored satin in the skirt and underbodice and draped with silk mousssein in the same color. Girdles That Are THE management of the waist line in the matter of belts and girdles, is left very much to the fancy of the individual this season. These range from narrow belts, of which there are few, to the widest of girdles, of which there are many. Of the latter the majority fasten at the back. But fastenings at the side or at the middle front are used wherever the effect is more desirable than a fastening at the back. As to the sash ends, some girdles are finished with one or two falling from a knot. The favorite adjustment of the wide girdle is in a position in which it extends from an inch or so above the normal waist line to six or eight inches below. It is adjusted rather loosely, or has that appearance, although the girdle is bone or fastened to a support to hold it in the proper place. It is closed with hooks and eyes. Some of the long sashes of very wide soft ribbon are wound about the figure and pinned into position. Three girdles are shown here which are typical of those favored at present. In the first a wide taffeta ribbon The skirt is slightly draped, its graceful folds hanging from the waist line with some fullness arranged in the seam at the center front. It is full enough for dancing. There is a short underbodice of the satin with a rich design embroidered in self color with silk floss. The overdrapery of silk mousselline could hardly be simpler. It is gathered into some fullness over the shoulder and top of the sleeves, which are cut in one. The mousselline is caught up in two places at the back and falls to a long point at the left side in front, where it is weighted with a fancy tassel in deep rose color. The sleeve amounts only to a short drapery at the top of the arm, supported by a short undersleeve of satin and finished with a medallion of embroidery. A girdle of wide moore silk matching the tassel in shade completes the gown. Popular Just Now of white with cross-bars of rose-colored satin and dresden roses woven in is designed for wear with white summer gowns. It is finished with a large flat bow and fastened at the back. The ends of this girdle are stayed with bones to which the hooks and eyes are sewed. The bow is adjusted near the top of the girdle and plinned loosely to the dress with the aim always in view of avoiding a stiff effect. The second girdle is in wide white taffeta ribbon with a broad stripe of black satin near each edge. This is finished and fastened at the ends with bones and hooks and eyes. The fastening is concealed under two short hanging loops of the ribbon. These black-and-white girdles of wide ribbon, or made of silk, are worn with all-white gowns. The third belt is designed for wear with tailored dresses or skirts and blouses, and is made of white suede leather bound with black. It fastens with a buckle covered with leather and is finished with a single blas end. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. PHONE MAIN 6123—Day or Night THE DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING COMPANY INCORPORATED AND BONDED J. R.
