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 NEGRO IN BUSINESS VOL. XX1. Industry, business, frugality morality, racial love—these elements in race progress Dr. Booker T Washington and his loyal co-workers in the National Negro Business League have been persistently and effectively emphasizing since the league was organized in Boston fourteen years ago. This gospel of consecrated labor and racial good will has already produced splendid results. In Muskogee, for example, where the fifteenth annual session was recently held, several thousand ambitions and enterprising Negroes of the South and Southwest, together with many from distant states in the North and East, assembled and received new information and inspiration. They were helpful to each other and they, in turn, had their eyes opened to the Negro's possibilities of success in a new land where riches are to be found on and near the surface in the form of corn and cotton, horses and cattle, fruits and vegetables, as well as in the very bowels of the earth. Oklahoma and the adjoining states call the young Negro who has the stuff of a pioneer in him. They need white men, black men, and red men, who will toil in the hot noonday without fainting; men who can endure real hardships for the sake of a future benefit; men who can save and put their earnings to work. While the coming of the Negro Business League to a city usually means the bringing of new hope to thousands of Negroes through the struggle and success stories that are commonly brought out in the regular conference program, in Muskogee it was evident, despite the interesting human interest stories, that the keynote was this: How great is the Negro's opportunity in this land of hardships where the fittest survive and the faithful, quiet, and able worker reaps great rewards in earthly possessions and in the development of his or her capacities? "Get off the defensive" was Dr. Washington's injunction to his own people. "Give the Negro a man's chance," was his exhortation to the white man. ```markdown ``` After referring to the ways in which the work of the Negro Business Leagues throughout the country can be improved, Dr. Washington pointed out some of the vast opportunities that the Negro farmers, for example, are wasting. Then he indicated what the 2,000,000 Negroes living in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas may still do, even though they now have under theic control, as owners and renters, about $300,000,000 worth of farm property, land, live stock, and farming implements worth $200,000,000. For the Negroes in the Southwest there are, according to Washington, openings for 1000 more grocery stores owned by Negroes, 500 more dry-goods stores, 300 more shoe stores, 200 more restaurants and hotels, 300 more millinery stores, 200 more drug stores, and 40 more banks. When one considers that 10,000 Negroes out of Muskogee's total population of 35,000 people, own or control 50,000 acres of land in Muskogee County, own city real estate worth $1,500,000, and conduct business enterprises having an aggregate value of $1,000,000, it must be clear that the Negro is forging ahead and that he has the sympathetic support of good white people, for the economic interests of both races go up or go down together. For over an hour thousands of white, red, and black people lined the streets of Muskogee and watched the spectacular industrial parade which covered several miles and told, in a series of floats, the story of Negro progress in the home, the church, the Sunday school, the public school; in growing corn, cotton, wheat, oats, vegetables and fruits; in mining and developing oil and gas properties; in shopkeeping; stockraising; in practically everything that the white man has undertaken. This demonstration of accomplishment and this suggestion of possible progress for growing numbers of Negroes must give courage to the Negro's friends. The hearty welcome that was extended to Dr. Washington and the Negro Business League by prominent white Muskogeans showed clearly that the race relations are more friendly and helpful than many men had supposed. Well. It Was Strong. Well, it was strong. Little Geraldine, aged five, had finished her dinner, which included horse radish, the first she had ever tasted. She listened to the comments of her elders as to how delicious it was, but how strong. When her father left the table she followed him to the door and said sadly, "Papa, did you have to kill a horse to get it?" Reparation. "I think, William, I'll ask those new people next door to take dinner with us tonight." "What for?" "Well, the butcher, by mistake, left their meat order here, and it seems only fair."—Life.

Osborne of Boston, a colored porter employed by the Oakland Motor Car company, has just finished a portrait of Cardinal O'Connell, which in many ways proves the ability of the artist.

When his duties as porter are over at five o'clock in the afternoon he hastens to his little room, which is a studio as well, and while the light is good paints or does charcoal drawing. Cardinal O'Connell's portrait, which is done in oil, was painted from a recent photograph by a well known Boston photographer, and is 20 by 27 inches. The carved and painted frame is about four feet high and is an excellent representation of the old Florentine art, as is the hand carved pedestal on which it rests. In the center of the woodwork above the picture is a mimiature reproduction of the "Nativity," and on either side in the carved replica of Florentine cathedral windows is an angel, one holding a harp and the other a bugle. On the base of the frame is carved a wreath of red roses harmonizing with the cardinal's cape. The work of Mr. Osborne is a triumph over difficulties --- for practically all of the carving was done with a jackknife. Mr. Osborne was born in Savannah, Ga., in 1870, and spent the first 20 years of his life in the South. He worked with carpenters and learned paneling and moulding, but all the while he fostered a strong desire to become a painter. He used to draw in the sand with pointed sticks and occasionally procured a little crayon. Feeling that there was larger opportunity in the North, he came to Boston in 1891, and while working as a porter went to the evening school of the Boston Art club. There he received instruction in charcoal drawing from Ernest Major. Later he studied water colors under Miss Agnes Leavitt, an artist in Copley square. For several years after that he kept up his artistic endeavors alone, money not being plentiful. He disposed of quite a number of paintings in this period, and with the proceeds he was enable to go to the drawing school of Eric Page in 1911, studying there three years. Much of his spare time has been spent in visiting art exhibitions and in the art department of the Boston city library. Mr. Osborne has sold a number of outdoor sketches and portraits done from life. He considers his best work to be the "Oriental Dancing Girl," from life, a picture which took him six months to complete and which is now on exhibition at the Boston City club. After a rest of two week he intends to begin a work called "Star of Bethlehem," which he hopes to have on exhibition by Christmas.—Indianapolis Ledger. Eoolish Question.

It was announced sometime ago that the Paris, Ky., Sept. 1.—During a battle between Jailer Farris and a mob which was trying to lynch a Negro, Eugene Houston, a prominent resident of this place, was killed early today.

Houston fell dead. --- The state of war which exists through Europe prevented Champion Jack Johnson from appearing before Federal Judge Geiger last Thursday in answer to an order for the filing of a new bond of $15,000 pending disposition of his case under the Manu act. Judge Geiger continued the case for twenty days after Benjamin Bachrach, Johnson's attorney, had explained the reason of his non-appearance. A new bond will have to be given at that time or the old bond will be forfeited. THE HOOSIER POET AND TUSKEGEE "WIZARD." Greenfield, Iud, Aug. 20. When Dr. Booker T. Washington spoke here a few days ago, James Whitcomb Riley, the famous Hoosier poet, although he was ill, motored out from Indianapolis to Greenfield so as to be present at the meeting, and testified by his presence his sincere regard for Dr. Washington. Mr. Riley has been a friend of the Tuskegee "Wizard" for many years and felt that he could in no better way show his friendship and good will than by being present at the Chautauqua meeting above referred to. As the many readers of the author of "When the frost is on the punkin' and the fodder's in the shock" know, Mr. Riley is a native of this place. He went to Indianapolis in the eighties and laid the foundation of his career as a poet, literateur and lecturer. Dr. Washington was presented with a picture of the old Riley home at Greenfield. THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE DARK RACES The "War of Nations" in Europe seems to indicate that before the contest is ended, the dark races will come unto their own. It was announced sometime ago that the Republic of France was undertaking the experiment of mustering black men into its army. The present war with Germany has already amply demonstrated the wisdom of this policy. The battle line on which they appeared proved to be the only invulnerable part of the French army in the face of the assaults by the magnificent German army. These black men have won fame and the admiration of the civilized world. So powerful were they that England has decided to call on its colonial troops and the sikhs from India will soon be in the forefront of the engagement. England did not stop there, but secured the services of Japan and that great nation has declared war against Germany and will make an attempt to force that Power from the Orient. Germany has seen the effect of all of this and in turn its agents are actively at work in Turkey and the indications are that Turkey will soon be ready to throw its dark legions against the armies of the allies. God's hand is in all of this It was the same in this country. The valor of the dark troops has been sung in song and story and as a result, they are steadily securing all of the rights and privileges to which they are entitled. PLEA IS MADE TO ELECT NEGROES TO CONGRESS Philadelphia, Sept. 10.—Woman suffrage was indorsed, and a plea for representation in congress of the 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States was made in the annual address of the Rev E.C. Morris, president of the National Baptist convention, at the opening session of the organization here yesterday. More than 5,000 delegates from nearly every state in the Union are attending the convention. (Advertisement) State-Wide Prohibition Breeds Bitter Hatred COLONEL THEODORE ROOSEVELT, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AND NOTED TRAVELER AND AUTHOR, HAS THIS TO SAY: "The good citizen will demand liberty for himself, and as a matter of pride he will see to it that all others will receive the liberty which he thus claims as his own. "Probably the best test of true love of liberty in any country is the manner in which minorities are treated in that country. Not only should there be complete liberty in matters of religion and opinion, but complete liberty for each man to live his life as he desires, provided only that in so doing he does not wrong his neighbors. "Wide difference of opinion in matters of religions and political and social beliefs must exist if conscience or intellect alike are not to be stunted, or if there is to be healthy growth. Bitter internecine hatred based on such differences are signs, not of earnestness of belief, but of that fanaticism which, whether religious or anti-religious, Democratic or anti-Democratic, is itself but a manifestation of the gloomy bigotry which has been the chief factor in the downfall of so many nations." In his wide travels and painstaking investigations of governmental matters, Colonel Roosevelt has been brought in close contact with the methods employed by various nations in dealing with the license question. His observations have convinced him that control by fanaticism and gloomy bigotry precedes the downfall of government. Any state which adopts State-Wide Prohibition confesses to the world that its people are incapable of governing themselves. A Vote For State-Wide Prohibition Is a Vote Against Local Option VOTE NO ON STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION THE COLORADO BUSINESS MEN'S HOME RULE LEAGUE Regeneration By Legislation Compulsion Makes Hypocrites and Not Converts. An ominous sign of the times is the apparently wide-spread disposition to shift responsibility upon the government. A former chief justice of Connecticut, in an address, saw this disposition in the vast number of things which American citizens had been commanded to do, or prohibited from doing, by regulative and restrictive enactments, and concluded with this significant remark: "We have not yet reached the condition of the ancient Peruvians, whose daily lives were minutely regulated by governmental authority, but we are on a stream which flows that way." That honesty in a nation must rest upon individual character and that regeneration must begin with the individual, seems to be lost sight of. The sole talk of the political agitator, and too often of the moral uplifter, is of reform by legislation. Rabbi Hirsch, Chicago: "The best safeguard against drunkenness is that drinking should be enjoyed openly. The saloon in America is frequented solely by men, and a certain stigma attaches to those who are seen there. The worst thing in American social life is the separation of the sexes. In Germany, where whole families are in the habit of drinking together in places of public resort, where the wife accompanies the husband as a matter of course, excess is not found, and the tone of the German cafes is as high morally as that of the German homes." Government can enact laws establishing relations between individuals, but cannot put neighborly qualities into men's hearts. The law can compel a man to support his wife, but cannot make him love her. Legislative bodies can enact industrial legislation, but cannot put the spirit of fair-dealing into the souls of employer and employed. Legislatures can pass drastic laws regulating the liquor traffic, but cannot legislate temperance, or abstinence, or self-control into the heart of the citizen, things which are of more importance to him than all the laws that can be enacted in his behalf. Fundamentals of Christian character and morality must be the work of individual training and discipline. The spirit of a community that is moral and honest will be unconsciously reflected in its laws and in the characters of the men chosen to fill official positions. But no amount of zeal in executives and legislators can create, by flat, public morality from a corrupted constituency. The legislation which attempts to do so by minutely regulating conduct is Socialistic and contradictory from all the teachings of experience.—From the "Peace Forum," July, 1914. Monsignor Harkins, Holyoke, Mass.: "I was here when the prohibitory laws were in effect in this state and know the evils which existed under them. Under no license in Holyoke there would be less drinking, but more drunkenness." Bishop Chas. D. Williams, Michigan: "I am in sympathy with the purposes those who advocate prohibition have in mind, but while their motives are ever so landable, the means proposed to accomplish the end are impracticable in fact. I consider prohibition at this time wrong because it is destructive." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Charles S.

Dairen, China, has 21 public primary schools with nearly 6,000 pupils, and 289 private schools with 7,000 pupils. The highest inland building is the new Chamber of Commerce at St. Louis, Mo. The height above the street level is 495 feet. Mines and quarreys in Bavaria, Germany, employ 15,000 men. There is a lighthouse every 14 miles along the English coast. When the authorities of the Calhoun school decided to add a story to the Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trade school, the student tradesmen attacked with enthusiasm the laborious task of raising the heavy roof and putting on the second story. Then came the tedious days devoted to finishing the interior work. There was always the joy of doing successfully tasks generally considered beyond the reach of tradesmen in the training. Again the call came to do some building which would require skill, patience, and endurance. It was the erection of a two-story brick building to be used as a social center for the boys. Contracts were awarded to the Trade Schools departments and student tradesmen did the construction work. Today the building stands completed. It is known as Clarke hall. It is used by the Young Men's Christian association. To appreciate the meaning of these three examples of construction work done by the Hampton tradesmen, one must see the completed structures and realize the building problems which the young negro and Indian tradesmen met and successfully solved. While construction work calls for ability to read working drawings and follow detailed specifications, the demands made by repair problems are in many instances even more taxing. To make a repair quickly, skillfully, and economically, requires unusual ability, Hampton institute is indeed an industrial village in which there is constant demand for men who can do good repair and construction work. Hampton aims to fit young men and women to do well and in an uncommon way the common tasks of life, Students are taught to handle their tasks like skilled workmen. They have for their work an excellent equipment and they are expected and required to take the best possible care of the school's property. They receive financial credit for their work and they are required to keep a strict account of all that they earn and spend during the years of their training at Hampton. Clerks in the stores and shops of all kinds in Mexico smoke while waiting on customers. The work for girls at Hampton leads to the important occupations of homemaking and teaching. When a girl enters Hampton institute she has the opportunity of receiving thorough training in domestic science. The girls work daily for 12 months in the laundry and in the boarding departments under the supervision of experienced teachers, and carry on their academic studies in the evening the same as the boys who are in the work class. The mental and moral training, which the year of combined work and study gives, makes it one of the most valuable years of the course. The working day for the girls is shorter than for the boys, but a girl may earn from $15 to $18 a month. This enables her to be entirely self-supporting during her first year in school, and to accumulate a balance toward defraying the expenses of the second year. A girl in the work class needs very little money besides her entrance fee and first month's board. This course is advised for all new girls regardless of their ability to pay their way in the day school. Belgian state railways buy cloth from England for uniforms of employees.

The first annual St. Vrain Valley fair came to a close and the executive committee expressed keen satisfaction with results. The attendance exceeded expectations, and the display of agricultural products, it was announced, proved a revelation to everyone. Mrs. Johanna Erickson, a resident of Denver for a quarter of a century, died at the residence of her son-in-law, Axel Carlson. She was born in Sweden eighty-five years ago. Mrs. Erickson was injured in a street car accident ten years ago and has been practically an invalid since that time. The accidental discharge of a shotgun, which he was holding between his knees on the front seat of a camp wagon, brought instant death to George Daigle, nineteen-year-old son of James B. Daigle, a city employé of Denver, two miles south of Morrison on the Turkey creek road, while Daigle, his parents, two sisters and a cousin were returning to Denver from a camping trip. The Rev. Joseph Bosetti, choirmaster of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Denver, is being detained in Italy, where he went early this summer to visit his relatives and to study church choir music more fully. He was intending to return, when he was stopped by the government, which, while it is neutral, has placed a ban on every man eligible for army service from leaving the country. Outside of appointing committees to investigate the cause of the recent rise in the price of certain food stuffs in Colorado, to report to the association later, and passing resolutions requesting that the next Legislature pass a more "workable" antitrust law, that will enable the proper authorities to prevent combinations in restraint of trade, the Colorado District Attorney's Association, which held a conference at Colorado Springs, took no action. A. C. Davis, of Fort Morgan, accompanied by a young lady, was making a trip to Brush, when the car skidded over an embankment, and the car and occupants plunged down some ten or twelve feet. Davis sustained several slight bruises and had three ribs broken, and the young lady was injured. The car was demolished. Telegrams received in Denver by the German consulate from the imperial government's ambassador at Washington announce several successes of the kalser's forces in the European war during the last few days.

Denver, Colorado RANKS ARE FILLED UP AS ENEMIES ARE MOWED DOWN By R. M. TOMLINSON. Gournay, Near Rouen—I talked with a noncommissioned officer belonging to a regiment named after an eastern county of England which has been in the front of the fighting almost continuously night and day. And very hard fighting, too. "Our only rest was when we were on the march retiring," he said. "This German attack is certainly extraordinary. You can throw them down and mow them down, but still they come on, and directly the gaps are made in their ranks fresh men fill them up. There seems to be an inexhaustible supply of fresh troops. It is impossible to oppose successfully such a mass of men." Still, from my observation and my talks with men and officers, there need be no concern in England about the enthusiasm and confidence and good spirits of both the British and French forces. They do not minimize in any way the power of the enemy, but it is strange that the rapid and irresistible rush of the Germans, which in England may appear intensely alarming, does not worry the French or the British soldier. They believe themselves well placed and are surprisingly quiet and confident, and are patiently working away and watching and waiting for their day, which is to come. Nothing that has yet happened in the campaign has made any of them in the least despondent. Let us see what seems to have happened since my dispatch from Amiens last Monday. On that day the staff of the famous general commanding the extreme left wing of the allies (Sir John French) was at ____. From the north the Germans seemed to be advancing in great force. On the other wing General Pau had had a fine success near Guise, where he handled severely the Tenth Prussian army corps and the Imperial guard in a fight lasting throughout Saturday and Sunday last. I was informed that he circled them and smashed them into the Oise. On Monday the Germans were forced to retreat with heavy losses, but in the center and left center of the allied forces the British were not so successful. The concentration of Germans was against these points and there was great fighting last Sunday. Regardless of Human Life. But knowing this and more than this, I am not any more alarmed than are the French and British officers and men I spoke with in the course of my unpleasant journey close to the fighting line. They know they are only beginning, but they are still intact and the men who have been working hard and skillfully to stem the German torrent are quite confident that success will ultimately be theirs. Huge masses of obedient men are flung by the German commanders, regardless of the loss of life, in a fierce and desperate effort to burst through to Paris quickly, and though such enormous masses must necessarily force back all opposition, the allies' opposition meets them resolutely and calmly and with intelligence and military science. When the history of this war is written it will be seen that, wonderful as the German advance has been, the retirement of the allied forces has been equally magnificent. It is hardly possible to understand why such reckless masses of men and guns (and it is believed that nearly all the German army is in France), continually pushing along, should not overwhelm everything human, however well armed and skillfully handled, which stands before it. Still it has not overwhelmed the allies. It is almost incredible, but it is true. Town Is Deserted Suddenly. When I arrived at this little railroad junction at noon, after a trip to Paris and back, I was told that, or Monday, the French cavalry were seen on the hills to the south and southwest, and that fighting had been going on to the east, 12 miles away. From what I had heard of the progress of the German advance up till last Saturday, I judged it would be useful to visit the little town of —— down the road. I found as peaceful a countryside as if it had never heard of war. The sight of a strangely beautiful cathedral standing apart from the town was restful enough, but there was something uncanny about the shut and silent houses. Not an inhabitant was to be seen, and then the cold truth struck us that the town had been evacuated. Crossing a bridge by the railway station, a French dragoon laughed when he saw our startled looks at what rested below and against the bridge supports. They were waiting for the Germans. MINES IN AIR TO DESTROY DIRIGIBLES Washington.—It is entirely feasible to "mine" the air against dirigibles and aeroplanes which seek to drop bombs in fortifications or besieged cities, according to a member of the army general staff. A large number of small captive gas balloons, each provided with a sufficient amount of explosive to destroy any aeroplane or dirigible with which it came in contact, would The streets were strewn with broken glass bottles and barbed wire was coiled everywhere. The little place is in a hollow and one needed but slight imagination to see the flaming hell it could become at any moment. It was growing dark, and I suppose I have never before felt such an urgent desire to leave a town. The railway was still intact, but two officials differed widely as to our prospects of getting away. While they argued we heard a mine blow up and then the sound of guns. A friendly engine driver, who merely "thought he could get through," at length got us away about eighteen miles southeast of the railway junction, which is about thirty miles to the north of Paris, and we got into Paris by train after midnight. We passed Crell, which was then alive with English soldiers. Defense of Amiens Useless. The Paris correspondent of the London Mail says: The capture of Amiens, which is the capital of the department of the Somme, 70 miles directly north of Paris, was made possible by the success of the Germans at Mereuil. The entry was not contested. The mayor, after receiving a German envoy, announced the surrender of the city and urged the citizens to make no disturbance. "The Germans went to the town hall, where they hauled down the French flag and hoisted the German colors. The German troops began entering the city about midday Monday, singing as they came: 'Die Wacht am Rhine' and 'Deutschland Uber Alles.' "No time was wasted, however, as the orders were to move swiftly out on the high road to Paris. Only a few men were left to guard the city." "When the Germans entered Amiens the French retired to Picquigny (eight miles northwest of Amiens). They are reported to have blown up the railway tunnel and to have destroyed a large space along the highway to the south with dynamite." Praise for British Charge. The Daily Mail's correspondent behind the British lines describes the charge of the Ninth lancers, which occurred at an unnamed spot during the recent series of tactical retreats, as a second Balaklava. He says: "Terrible havoc has been caused in our ranks by shells from a battery of 11 German guns posted inside a fortress near the Belgian frontier. "It seemed impossible to silence their fire until the Ninth lancers made their attempt, riding straight at the guns after debouching into the open and charging under a hail of melinite and lydite. "I have not been able to get reliable figures as to the distance they rode, but they reached their goal. Nothing could stop them. They reached the guns, killed the gunners, and put the guns out of action. Then, like their prototypes of Balaklava, they rode back. Many Slain on Return. "On the return they fell in greater numbers still from the attack of other German batteries posted at vantage points around the valley. "Notable bayonet charges were made at (name deleted) on Wednesday last. Several British infantry regiments occupied an exposed position around which the Germans gradually circled, drawing the noose closer and closer. "The Britishers decided to cut their way through the cordon. So the men went at it, yelling and shouting, and got through, although the German artillery mowed them down frightfully. "The German machine guns have been tremendously effective in all engagements thus far. Men who saw the South African war say the hottest firing there was childish compared with what the British troops have undergone since their arrival in France. So far as I can learn thus far the Germans have lost 26 of these guns." Tells of Bapaume Fight. The Paris correspondent of the Mail sends the following dispatch: "I have just returned from Compiegne. The English have left the town. The bridges over the Oise were blown up this (Monday) morning. The Germans were expected hourly. "One important section of the battle which drove back the allies' left was fought at Bapaume Thursday and Friday. On Friday morning the Germans brought up many machine guns in a dense fog, and in a six hours' engagement the French suffered severely. "A British force unexpectedly arrived and occupied the French position and allowed the weary French to retire. Then, though hard pressed, the British continued to fight a magnificent rear guard action." be sent up each evening, together with a number of box kites, each provided with a tail of malleable wire or other material nicely designed to foul propellers.

The result of the Primary Election up to the time of going to press shows the people's choice in the nomination of candidates for the fall election to be held November 3, 1914. In this issue we give the portraits and names of some of the Republican Party, and we must repeat that those who are unsuccessful must resolve in accepting those chosen by the people to throw their forces together, making a strong combination and instituting a great campaign for the coming election. In the selection of the nominees we have every reason to believe that we have men and women of integrity who will do all in their power for the return of the Grand Old Party to good government guaranteeing a square deal to everyone and prosperity to the country at large, so that it rests upon us to enter this election with more zeal for the support and success of these candidates. Some have been tried and have not been found wanting in the positions they occupied while others are just starting out; but their standing in the community, backed by their utterances from time to time in which they pledge themselves to the suppression of everything savoring of depression and retrogression and the uplifting and upbuilding of a people and a nation merits the full indorsement of every true Republican. Colorado has experienced the result of changes and interchanges by the introduction of new parties and organizations, and we think the time has come when the people, tiring of the present state of things, will make up their minds to not only maintain law, order and justice, but subscribe their efforts to the improvement of conditions for the good of all and support the candidates who promise to live up to their platforms of usefulness and progress. Further information as to the complete returns as well as the proceedings of the Republican party will be found in succeeding issues of this paper which is the only Republican organ in the City and County of Denver, and which hopes a better and brighter future in entrusting our cause to those whom we nominate and hope to elect beyond a doubt this fall. "Come' with us and we will do thee good." PRINCIPLE OF HUMAN RIGHTS. The question of human rights has never ceased to exercise the world of thought since the days in which the sufferings and hardships of Israel touched to pity the tender love of the Father who removed the iron heel of Egypt by the command: "Let my people go!" Acquaintance with the affairs and personalities of the remote period is made so real through revelation and is felt to be so thoroughly in touch with our latter-day experience as to be accepted as furnishing and completing an unbroken sequence of similarity in the contact of races through succeeding ages. A glance at the rise and progress, development or fall of the peoples of history, discloses the fact that certain cardinal virtues or vices have been the controlling influence—refining and elevating—enervating or destroying. In deference to the exigencies of space it may be assumed that pride of race and devotion to principle have been among the strongest levers in the substantial uplift of those races which have absorbed a large share of the admiration of the world. The pride of the Spartan matron in the courage and integrity of her boy is a sacred aureole, wreathing the brow of her exalted womanhood. The dreary stretch of Marathon plain could not discourage or feet restrain the glorious news of victory won, with haste acclaimed each Grecian son. The Ancients may not, however, monopolize the splendid tributes of praise which are as incense, diffused by successive generations in honor of ancestral virtues. There are moderns of another race and clime who may proudly claim association with the world's immortals and who wear their patent by reason of conspicuous and invaluable service in behalf of human rights. Washington and Patrick Henry, Lincoln and Grant, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass, and Booker T. Washington, are names indissolubly woven with the fiber of American history. Each of these was in an unfaltering campaign of national independence the foe of special or unlawful privilege, the gallant warrior for the integrity of the Union and the freedom of the Negro, the courageous defender of the oppressed or the advocate of the fullest measure of civil and political liberty. The question of slavery extension, the Missouri compromise and its subsequent repeal, the fearful cataclysm of the Civil War, the stupendous problem of final emancipation, the bitter controversies over the constitutional amendments—are the nation's milestones along the Appian Way of Progress and Development. It is scarcely possible to realize the relationship between the characters and events to which allusion has been made, without at the same time noting with what peculiar insistence the shadow of the Negro (black, it is true, but distorted through eyes of hate into shape at once ridiculous and absurd) has been drawn forward by force of destiny as its own most potent argument for equality of human rights. The survival of this shadow and the evolvement therefrom of the substantial Negro citizen of today is both a benediction and a prophecy. The Divinity which shapes our ends, ever mindful of the greatest good for all the children of men, touched here and there a soul with the realization of its sacred beauty, and those with the courage of the Crusaders of old joined heart and hand for the protection and preservation of the golden fleece of liberty. Our Women's Clothes Lack Distinction By DANIEL C. FORD, Buffalo, N.Y. I have no quarrel with women for adorning themselves as they see fit. I think they are better judges of clothes—their own clothes—than men. I do not object to the "slit skirt" nor the "hobble skirt" nor any of the other freaks of apparel which women affect. If they go back to the hoopskirt, with its miles of flounces and folds, I shall not repine nor criticize. The women must wear them. The joy of being in fashion and the travail of enduring discomfort are both theirs. But one thing, as a humble man, I should like to say to the better portion of American creation—yea, I should like to chide the fair. That is expressed in the query, "Why, oh, why, can't they show more individuality and taste?" The Paris modes are adopted without question, whether they show off the individual woman to the best advantage or not. In an era of tight-fitting apparel all women wear close-clinging clothing. When the fashions veer they are all loosely garbed. Now, I say that if a slit skirt becomes a woman let her wear it, and if a hoopskirt is prettier to look at upon her let her wear that, as individual shapes dictate. In short, let women be taught taste, individuality and I care not what they wear, for then they will add to the beauty of the world. In a recent article on fur raising people are censured for wearing furs. The fact that anyone could be so inhuman as to think of raising fur-bearing animals for their skins inspires the writer's criticism. Man is master of all the lower animals, and unless they can be of service to him they are doomed to extinction. Suppose we could be persuaded suddenly that it is inhuman to kill pigs. It would be necessary to put a few in our zoological gardens or the next generation would never see one. Yet the president of the United States is credited with encouraging boys of the south to raise pigs to kill. It is more important to prolong the life of a species of animal or bird than it is to allow an individual of the species to live out its natural life. Moreover, it is more merciful to the individual animal to raise it, protect it from its natural enemies and finally let it have a painless death than it is to let it run wild and have to fight continually for existence, finally losing in the fight by being destroyed by a stronger foe. I do not know where the "humane" individual draws the line, but it seems to me more cruel to catch a fly on a piece of sticky paper and let it suffer for hours till death relieves it than it is to raise a skunk, a steer or a muskrat till it reaches its prime and then destroy its life so it can fulfill the purpose of its existence—to be of some service to its master. New System Urged to Prevent Disease By F. J. MCINTYRE, Minneapolis, Minn. Can any system be right which makes necessary the suffering and misery of some in order that others may make a living? It seems to me this question must be answered in the negative. Nevertheless, this is the condition that exists today in the treatment of human ills. It must be plainly evident to all of us that under such conditions, while the physician has to depend for his success upon the prevalence rather than the scarcity of dishes, we cannot reasonably expect him to make any special effort at the elimination and prevention of disease. In order to promote the study and practice of prophylactic methods a different system must necessarily be established, and I would suggest that the country be divided into medical districts and a competent physician appointed over each district by a national medical board. The members of this latter should be chosen for their thorough knowledge and proved ability. It should be the duty of each of these district physicians to keep his district free from disease and ill health of all kinds. Upon his ability to do this should depend his continuance in his position. In this way we would make a great stride toward teaching the people how to keep well and at the same time would eliminate one cause of prevalent ills—the quack doctor. Marihuana Weed Will Cause Insanity By C. S. LORD, New York One of the things to be avoided by American soldiers in Mexico is the seductive marihuana weed, which grows around Vera Cruz and in the territory lying between that city and the capital. For several years there has been in effect an order of the Mexican government prohibiting the sale of marihuana to Mexican soldiers. Notwithstanding this order, the dangerous weed is often smuggled into camps and barracks and is secretly smoked by the men. When much indulged in, smoking of the dry leaves of the plant causes insanity. People who become addicted to smoking marihuana finally lose their minds and never recover. The plant is used sometimes in Mexico by allopathic physicians in the treatment of rheumatism. The tincture of the marihuana diluted with alcohol is the form in which the properties of the weed are employed. There are many other plants in Mexico which are dangerous, among them being the lovache, a kind of loco weed. The seeds of this plant boiled and drunk as tea will make a person insane for life, it is asserted. Among some people of Mexico it is believed that Carlotta, empress of Mexico, lost her mind because she was given lovache in a refreshment. Empress Carlotta was the wife of Emperor Maximilian, who was shot in Queretaro. She lost her mind immediately after her return to Europe from Mexico. Water Is Nature's Greatest Cleanser By D. Webster Groh, Hagerstown, Md. Water is nature's greatest solvent and cleanser. It enters the body pure and leaves it impure, thus carrying out and removing much of the body's impurity. Hence the advantage of passing much pure water through the body. All disease is caused by impurity in the body, for if none were there and everything was perfectly normal one could not be sick. Hence, to cure disease simply get the impurity out of the body. And pure water will carry off the impurity faster than anything else, just as it will wash clothes clean faster than any other known method of cleaning them. Man Is Master of All Lower Animals By E.

Appearance: Not All Tobacco Smoke: Appearance is Not All. A gentle spirit may express itself in rude words of illiteracy; it is not therefore rude. Ruffianism may speak the language of learning or religion; it is ruffianism still. Strength may wear the garb of weakness, and still be strong; and a weakling may carry the weapons of strength, but fight with a faint heart—Harold Bell Wright. To dissipate the smell of tobacco smoke from a house, put a lump of crystal ammonia into a jar and add three or four drops of oil of lavender. Pour over this a few tablespoonfuls of boiling water and let stand in the room. It will give out a faint, pleasant odor, which will entirely do away with all traces of the smell of tobacco.—Good Housekeeping Magazine. Progress. Cheap Cleansing Powder "The rolling stone gathers no moss," is a timeworn proverb, but, after all, it may well be questioned whether moss gathering is the highest use to which a stone can be put. The stones that grind the meal for man's bread are not less valuable because they are uncoated with moss and the man who refuses to move along the road of general progress or helpfulness because it may interfere with his chance to accumulate for himself is not an ideal citizen. Selected. If short of cleansing powder, use a cloth soaped and dipped in coal ashes. This will be found an excellent and economical way of removing stains from pots and pans.

O JOHN E. HOLMBERG. Republican Nominee for State Senate A learned bishop was once taken to task by some of his denominational brethren on the charges of exhibiting conceit of himself at variance with the spirit of humility. "It is not conceit," replied the bishop, with that preponderous bearing that silenced opposition. "It is not conceit, brethren. It is the consciousness of superiority."—Lippincott's. Forest botanists recognize only one cypress in the United States. Its range extends from Delaware southward around the coast into Texas and up the Mississippi valley to Illinois and Indiana. It is one of the few cone-bearing trees which drop their leaves in winter. The heartwood of cypress is noted for its decay-resistant properties. Most Hopeful Proverb. No matter how blue the Monday, no matter how dark the day, there is one old proverb that will bring comfort to the deepest despair. So when the glooms persist in filling up every nook and corner of your life, repeat this wise old proverb over to yourself: "It's always darkest before the dawn." Why? Well, why does a "shoemaker's child never have shoes?" Why does the average architect live in an ugly and poorly planned home? Why does the modish dressmaker usually look dowdy? Why is the lecturer on the "Duties of a Mother" always a spinster?

HANDY TABLE FOR KITCHEN Having Everything Handy f2>. the Cook Saves Many Steps in the Course of a Day. _ First off if there are no shelves above the kitchen table she has some built, also a lower shelf on the table itself. There she stands all mixing bowls for bread and eake; the rolling pin and board stand on the tuble shelf also. On the shelves above the tabie are all necessary provisions for the Preparation of meals. There are jars of flour, rice, sugars, spices; there are bottles of olive oil, vinegar, etc., for salads, Then, hanging from little hooks screwed into the edge of these upper shelves are all the instruments of Preparation which will not fit into the table drawer. There are can opener, corkscrew, potato masher and many others. One well-known housewife invented an excellent device to save work. Fy- ery cook knows how many dishes are dirtied in paring potatoes, fruits and vegetables. ‘This woman had a nice, new, clean refuse pail put on the lower shelf of her kitchen table and directly above it she had a circle of wood cut out of the upper shelf, so that it opened right down into the top of the pail.—Exchange, > PROPER WAY TO MAKE SOUP Preparation Worthy of More Attention Than Usually Is Given to This Part of the Menu. To get the most out of a soup bone it should be fractured every inch ot its length. The soup should never stop cooking from the time it is put on the stove until it is done, although it should at no time boil furiously. Once the soup is started cooking ne water should be added, as this spoils ‘the flavor. The soup bone should be put into cold water, and no salt should be added until the soup is done, as the salt stops the flow of the juices. ‘The soup should cook from five to seven hours at least. All the spices used in a soup should be put in whole—that is, whole black and white peppers, cloves, bay leaves, garlic, etc. One quart of water should be al- lowed for every pound of meat and bone, to begin with. This is a rule of the creoles, but they make rich soup. If weaker soup is to be made, or if vegetables as well as meat are used in the stock, the amount of water can be increased. ADDS TO FLAVOR OF STEAK For Those Fond of Rich Dishes This Mixture Is One That May Be Recommended. ‘Take a fillet steak, cut 1% inches thick. An hour before cooking; place in-the following mixture, turning jt two or three times: Four tablespoon- fuls of mushroom catchup, two tea- spoonfuls of brown sugar, one tea- spoonful of chopped parsley, one-quar- ter of a teaspoonful of pepper, one-half a teaspoonful of salt and four table- spoonfuls of brown sugar. After it has lain in this mixture for fan hour take it out, drain and dredge it with flour, Brot! it or cook in a hot skillet with a large piece of butter for fifteen minutes, covering the skillet to keep in the steam. Remove the steak; add the vinegar mixture to the fat in the pan, boll .it up and pour around the steak. This is delicious served with potato chips. Ham Grocuetiea: Brown one tablespoonful of butter in a saucepan; when well-colored add two tablespoonfuls of flour and trown again, Then add one cupful of beef stock and stir unttl thick and smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper, add ten drops of onion juice and one tablespoonful of mushroom catchup, one cupful of boited rice and one cup ful of finely chopped ham. Mix and set away until cold. Then shape inte croquettes, dip iato slightly beaten egg, roll in dried ‘bread crumbs and fry in smoking hot fat. Serve with tomato or any good brown sauce. Euclid Salad. Six cooked beets, one Noufchatei cheese, one pimento, one olive, pap- rika, salt capers and mayonnaise. Se lect nice bright red beets, not too large; scoop out the centers and f}) ‘with the cheese mixed with the pimen to cut in small pieces, olives chopped fine, adding seasonings and enough mayonnaise to make smooth ani creamy; put a caper on top, place on a lettuce leaf with a spoon of mayon naise beside the beet. Garnish with tiny balls of beets rolled in very finely chopped parsley. Serve very cold. tk) bie eee Kerosene will clean your hands better than anything else after black ing a range or stove.

To Remove Shine on Cloth. ‘Take one ounce of lump ammonia and half an ounce of white castile soap; put both in a jug and pour over them one pint of hot water until both are dissolved.

ADVANCE IN EAST PRUSSIA Petrograd Says Five Million Slays Cover German Territory and Eastern Frontier-Russians Capture Czernowitz, Capital of Buckawina, 200 Miles In Austrian Territory. GERMANS WEAKEN Persistent Reports Say Allies Have Turned Enemy's Front and Are Advancing. ENGLAND FEARS FOR EGYPT Accuse Teutons of Fomenting Native Revolt—Allies In War Pact— Washington Hears Peace Talk Rumors. ( Summary of Events. ) After penetrating 200 miles into Austrian territory and capturing Czernowitz, capital of the province of Bukawina, the Russian main army has resumed offensive operations in Prussia. Late advices from Petrograd say an army of five million is now in East Prussia supporting the Russ first line of advance, and that the five million is supported by two million more just within the Russian border. Servia has driven all Austrian GERMANS L German troops departing from th troops out of her territory, and co-operating with Montenegro, has begun an invasion of southern Austria. Austria appears to be in really desperate straits, with Russia pounding at the north, the Balkan enemies invading the south, and the flower of the Austrian army supporting the German army of French invasion. Persistent reports of a serious German repulse at the hands of the allies defending Paris lend strength to the statement of the French and British war offices that the Germans are not attacking with their early vigor and that the allies have been able to push them back. It is stated unofficially by Americans arriving in London from the continent that the British forces are being constantly strengthened by fresh troops from England and that 80,000 Russians have joined the allies. The Germans, too, have strengthened their forces, and a great battle throughout the length of the 120-mile line of conflict has begun. If the Germans succeed now in breaking the opposition of the smaller allied army, it appears certain they will throw their supreme force against the defenses of Paris and make one tremendous effort to take the city. The vast circling movement, which the main German army described for a week, was admitted to have been for naught on September 8, and the reactive movement by the allies drove back the invaders temporarily. The allies BRITISH CRUISER SUNK BY MINE OFF SCOTCH COAST London.—It is learned on reliable authority that the captain and fifty of the crew of the British cruiser Pathfinder, which was sunk by a mine in the North Sea, have been saved. The destruction of the Pathfinder occurred about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon at a point ten miles northeast of Saint Abb's Head, Scotland. While she was patrolling the coast advanced their left wing several miles without serious opposition. Native Revolt In Austria Native Revolt in Austria. Dispatches from Vienna and Petrograd (the Russian government has changed the name of its capital city from St. Petersburg to Petrograd) state that the Russ occupation of the province of Bukawina was made with the assistance of the population which turned against the Austrian soldiers. The inhabitants of this territory are Slavic and sympathize with Russia. Great Britain has ordered the German and Austrian consuls from Egypt. England exercises somewhat the same control over Egypt that the United States holds over Cuba—though the British control is stronger. Britain fears a revolt of natives in Egypt and a massacre of the small English colony and garrison. The Germans and Austrians have been directly accused of fomenting an uprising of Moslems against Christians. The situation in Turkey remains delicate. For a week now there has been momentary expectation of a declaration of war by the Sultan against Russia and England, and a massacre of Christians in the Empire. The United States cruiser Tennessee, distributing funds to Americans abroad, was refused admittance to the harbor of Constantinople. France, England and Russia have sent word to the American government that they would consider it no violation of neutrality if the United States established a naval patrol of EAVE MOULAND A HEAD Belgian town of Mouland after setting the Adriatic sea to protect Christians of all nations in case of trouble. It is officially stated by Washington that the cruisers Tennessee and North Carolina will hover in Adriatic waters for a time in order to be ready for emergencies. Peace Talk Rumor. The Chicago Herald, through its Washington correspondent, John Callan O'Laughlin, a distinguished journalist, states that Germany, declaring it has beaten France to its knees, desires to enter negotiations for the termination of the great world conflict. In this, according to The Herald, Austria, after suffering terrific defeats at the hands of Russia in Galicia, and the Servians in the south, joins Germany. Oscar Straus, former American ambassador to Turkey and now American member of The Hague Tribunal of Peace, has conferred with President Wilson and Secretary Bryan on the subject, says The Herald, and the secretary has held special conferences at his home with the ambassadors of all the belligerent nations. None of the men mentioned by The Herald's correspondent would give an interview. There came at the same time as this announcement from Washington, an official dispatch from London saying that England, Russia and France have made a pact mutually engaging themselves not to conclude peace separately in the present war, and to fight until Germany admits defeat. The pact was drawn up and signed by the British secretary of foreign affairs, and the French and Russian ambassadors to Great Britain. Defend German Action. President. Wilson has announced that he will not make a speaking tour in the autumn campaign, declaring his intention of "staying on the job because of the unlooked for international situation." It is interesting to note at this time, the schooner struck a mine which exploded near her magazine. Trawlers ten miles distant felt the shock. From Eyemouth, fourteen miles from the scene of the explosion, a huge cloud of smoke was visible on the horizon. A torpedo boat destroyer was the first to the rescue. She was followed by a motor lifeboat. The Pathfinder was literally blown to pieces and the sea was strewn with wreckage. The devastating effect of the explosion is emphasized in the report of Coxswain Nesbit of the motor lifeboat. He said that for a mile and a half the when most individual Americans have to repress themselves sternly in order not to violate in speech the President's order of strict neutrality, the statement regarding alleged German brutality sent from Europe to the Associated Press by several American correspondents. Part of it says: "In spirit we unite in rendering German atrocities groundless as far as we are able to. After spending two weeks with and accompanying the troops upward of one hundred miles, we were unable to report a single instance unprovoked. We are also unable to confirm rumors of mistreatment of prisoners or of noncombatants with the German columns." The statement is signed by Roger Lewis, the Associated Press; Irvin S. Cobb, Saturday Evening Post and Philadelphia Public Ledger; Harry Hanson, Chicago Daily News; James O'Donnell Bennett, John T. McCutcheon, Chicago Tribune. Allies Force Back Germans. Paris. The battle which is proceeding to the east of Paris appears to be the most important and most stubbornly fought combat of the campaign. The military authorities decline to give any indication of the number of men engaged, but hundred of thousands of soldiers are participating on both sides. According to those in a position to obtain authentic information, the casualties have been so great that the Germans have requested an armistice of twenty-four hours. The armistice was refused with the response: "We grant you that time to get out of France." An official communication issued by the war office shows that the German wing, while retreating before the allies, has offered the sternest resistance, delivering several fierce but unsuccessful counter attacks. In the Marne region the British forces have engaged in a strong offensive in undulating country. The progress of P OF RUINS INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE it on fire and reducing it to ruins. the allies has been exceedingly difficult. In the center of the allied lines, several further encounters have occurred, the two opposing forces ending the day with varying fortunes, which, however, are regarded as more favorable to the allies than to their adversaries. Allies Gain Ground. London.—The British official press bureau has issued the following announcement: "The general position continues satisfactory. The allies are gaining ground on their left all along the line of the Oureq and Petit Morin rivers. The British have driven the enemy back ten miles. Pressure against the enemy continues all along the allied fronts. The British force has been engaged all day, the enemy opposed to it, after stubborn resistance, retired and is now crossing to the north of the Marne. The Fifth French army has advanced with equal success and reports many captures." Russians Capture Austrian Fort. Russians Capture Austrian Fort. Paris.—An official statement given out here says that Russian cavalrymen are now upon the crest of the Carpathian mountains. Continuing, the announcement says that the Russian offensive against the Austrians in Galicia continues successfully. The Austrian fort at Nicolaieff, about 25 miles southeast of Lemberg, has been captured by the Russians, notwithstanding the fact that it was protected by armored gun turrets and three lines of fortifications. The Russians took many prisoners and captured also forty guns and great quantities of ammunition. Serbs Invading Bosnia Lindon.—A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company from Nish, Servia, says the Servian army has begun the invasion of Bosnia and has crossed the River Save, near Mitrovitch. water was strewn with wreckage of every conceivable description. About ninety of the crew of the Pathfinder dead and wounded were picked up by torpedo boats and taken to a hospital at the naval bases. Captain Leake and several other officers were saved. According to official announcement, the casualties among the officers were one killed, eight missing, one seriously wounded and one slightly wounded. Many of the survivors injured by flying debris were taken in ambulances on arrival here. GAGS AND ROBS WOMAN GAGS AND ROBS WOMAN Do You Know That— BOULDER THIEF GETS $17 AND SILVERWARE AND ESCAPES. Victim, Tied to Bed, Gives Alarm After Rolling to Room Occupied by Her Husband. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Boulder, Colo.—Mrs. Frank Detzel was bound and gagged by a burglar in her home while her husband was asleep in an adjoining room. The thief escaped after procuring $17 in money and silverware. Mrs. Detzel gave the alarm after breaking loose from the bed to which she was tied and rolling on the floor until she reached her husband's bedroom. The COLORADO STATESMAN She arose to attend a sick child. Her bedroom was dark when she returned. A moment later she was grasped by the burglar, who had secreted himself in the room during her absence, and gagged with a piece of cotton. He later tied her arms and feet and chained her to the bed. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF After going through the house hurriedly, the thief jumped through the window and disappeared in the darkness. Unable to call her husband, Mrs. Detzel worked frantically to release herself to give the alarm. She succeeded after lifting the bed with her shoulders. With her hands and feet still tied she rolled over and over until she reached her husband's room. She aroused him by kicking against a door. Detzel removed the gag and ropes and telephoned the police. No trace of the burglar has been found. Bulger Sentenced to Die Dec. 28. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Denver.—"I'm not being hanged by a jury. I'm being hanged by you. You're the thirteenth juror and have everything to say in this matter." A stillness like that of death overspread the dingy West Side courtroom as Col. James C. Bulger, in the foregoing words, made a last attempt to save himself from the gallows before Judge John A. Perry passed the sentence of death upon him and fixed Christmas week, beginning December 21 and ending December 28, as the time when he must forfeit his life to the law as a penalty for taking that of Lloyd F. Nicodemus in the Savoy hotel on the afternoon of May 6. "May God have mercy on your soul." said Judge Perry as he finished reading the sentence. "And may God have mercy on your soul, too, your honor," said Bulger as he accepted his fate without apparent concern.

Masons of Wray Expel Dr. McGill. Denver.—The shooting of Dr. E. D. McGill, the Wray physician, by Dan C. Funk, a contractor, who charged that the physician had broken up his home, has resulted in Dr. McGill's expulsion from the Masonic order. He was expelled from the Wray lodge, of which he had been a member for several years, according to reports received here. Ever since the day that Funk shot down the physician and it was learned that Dr. McGill secretly had obtained a divorce from his wife and had married Mrs. Funk, the feeling of the people of Wray has been against him. The expulsion from the lodge was the culmination of this feeling. We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best.

Sir Richard Quain said porridge had nothing to do with his ruined digestion. Sir Richard stated in the British Medical Journal of November 9, 1855, that "the wretched dyspepsia to which Mr. Carlyle was subjected was fully accounted for by the fact that he was particularly fond of very nasty gingerbread. Many times I have seen him sitting in the corner smoking a clay pipe and eating this gingerbread." Overcoming Sorrows.

The most manifest sign of wisdom is continual cheerfulness; such a state and condition, like things in the regions above the moon, is always clear and serene.—Montaigne. M. Corset Cover for the Thin Woman 100 OF SEVERAL new high coiffures there are a noteworthy number in which the hair is waved in the even, Marcel wave, and parted either in the middle or to one side. In others the mass of the hair, after being waved, is brought to the top of the head and piled in a coil directly back of the forehead. A third style shows a part at each side with the hair at the top of the head drawn back to the crown, where it joins the back hair to form a small Psyche knot. In the coiffure shown in the picture, the hair is waved all around the head. The front portion is parted off and combed forward to be out of the way, while the back hair is brought to the top of the crown and arranged in a short French twist. When this has been pinned to place with short wire hairpins it forms a foundation to which the front hair is afterward fastened. The front hair is parted and combed down on each side, just above the temple. It is turned back and combed off the face from the temple to the ear. It is brought up to the knot with the ends curled into a puff. The Corset Cover for FIGURE which is deficient in bust development, either from lack of flesh or other causes, must be helped out by some device. Any number of corsets, corset waists and bust forms are on the market, to supply the deficiencies of the too slender woman. For present styles the fitted corset cover or fitted waist, with inside ruffles, is the most satisfactory garment which the thin woman can adopt. These waists are cut to fit a normal figure. The waist, therefore, is made too large across the bust. To fill this extra room ruffles of fine muslin are sewed to the under arm seams and arm's eye. These ruffles are made by stitching tape or bands of the fabric to a long piece of cambric muslin, or mainsook to form casings. Tapes are run through these casings. The ruffle is made as full as the figure requires and the tapes are drawn up and tied at the center of the ruffle. When it becomes necessary to launder a waist of this kind the tapes are antied, and the fullness of the ruffle eased along them. They are starched with very thin starch and ironed flat, so that laundering preserves the bust form. Waists of this kind are made to fasten either in front or back. Those fastening in front are provided with buttons and button holes. An excellent model, which fastens in the back, does not require either buttons or button holes. The back pieces are sloped down in a "V" shape and finished with tapes which tie around the waist. That is, the back pieces This arrangement gives the effect of three puffs across the top of the crown when viewed from the front. Both sides are arranged in the same manner. The hair is drawn loosely back to give a soft appearance about the face and to allow the waves to retain their position. Any short locks about the forehead are trimmed off in a light, even fringe and curled slightly. They are to be arranged in short curls at each side of the part, or combed across the forehead, according to their becomingness to the weaker. The middle part is suited to very youthful faces and those past middle life, but the woman in her prime should experiment before adopting it. A side part is more piquant and lim parts a youthful look. With the return of wide-brimmed hats we are likely to have the return of puffs. They are always admired and for the woman who must resort to false hair they are the lightest and most convenient substitute for natural locks. the Thin Woman cross and overlap, and the tapes are tied in front. The most convenient way to make a shapely waist of this kind is to buy a ready-made corset cover or brassiere and supply it with ruffles. This will give the wearer a normal figure. There is no economy in making a plain undergarment of this kind at home, because the ready-made brassiere sells so cheaply. But there is economy in placing the ruffle, for the simple reason that the work, required doubles the price of the waist in the shops. Perhaps the greatest advantage derived from a waist such as is pictured here is the fact that it may be worn as a substitute for a corset. Colored Handkerchiefs. The snow-white handkerchief is ousted for the moment; not for every hour of the day, but for morning wear especially, and then it is that fancier in colors have the lead. These colored handkerchiefs are not of violent coloring as they were some time since. Instead, they are soft and gentle in tone, some being quiet even to the point of dullness. Quiet grays and browns, yellows and greens, purple tones and dull reds all come with the morning handkerchief, which may be of lawn or, more fanciful still, of the finest ninon. Those of ninon are mostly in fine stripes with a narrow border of the main coloring; but the lawn mouchoir is more often plain in its quiet coloring with a quarter or half inch hemstitched border of white. --- Drink Capitol Beer DENVER'S PRIDE The CAPITOL BREWING COMPANY The Purity of Capitol Beer Is Demonstrated by Its Superior Flavor and Strength-Giving Qualities.
