PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY HISTORY OF ACHIEVEMENT Foray Tom Watson watermelons, ranging in weight from forty-five to sixty two pounds, recently attracted and held my attention in Muskogee, Okla., while I was passing through the splendid agricultural and industrial exhibit that had been arranged as a supplement or assessory to the meetings of the fifteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League. Fred Hawkins, a young, slim, dark-skinned Negro of East Muskogee, who is a share tenant, working a dozen acres of rich Arkansas bottom land, raised these melons. He was as proud of his achievement, expressed in luscious watermelons, as any man might be of a rich painting, a beautiful symphony, or a busy factory, which was his own. Hawkins was born thirty years ago in the Indian Territory. When he was a mere child he lost his mother and father and was brought up, along with one sister, by his grandparents, who though they were ignorant of book learning, taught him to work, to save and to be honest. For two terms Hawkins attended the Orphan Home School on Old Agency Hill, which is on the outskirts of Muskogee. Hawkins is making hundreds of dollars for himself, as well as for his "boss man," from his cotton, corn, sweet potatoes and watermelons. NEGROES IN MUSKOGEE Negroes in Muskogee, some 10,000 out of a total population of 35,000, have already made good in business. Edwin S. Monroe, city superintendent of the public schools, who is a broad-minded official, recently presented to the Negro Business League in Convention Hall, where over 4,000 white and black people had assembled to hear the facts of Negro progress, some interesting evidence that he had gathered. In Muskogee County, said Mr Monroe, Negroes own and control 50,000 acres of valuable agricultural and oil land; Negroes own city real estate in Muskogee that is worth $1,500,000; the Negro business concerns of Muskogee have a value of at least $1,000,000. Here is a partial list of the Negro business enterprises of Muskogee, according to Mr. Monroe: One clothing store for men, 1 drygoods store, 1 ice company, 1 plumbing and plumbing supplies shop, 6 contractors and builders, 12 barber shops, 5 concrete contractors, 50 grocery stores, 4 drug stores, 1 harness shop, 20 restaurants, 8 black ANTS WHO ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO country life. RAISES FOURTEEN OUNCE PEACHES Logan Morgan, who lives within four miles of Muskogee, Okla., finds that no color line is drawn in the market against his twelve and fourteen ounce Alberta peaches, which brings $2 a bushel in the orchard. Twenty-one years' experience in the Southwest, "as an unlearned man among many grafters," to quote him exactly, has taught him the value of remaining quietly at work and of producing among other crops "peaches that can't be beat." Morgan was married twenty years ago when he had only six "bits" and an $18 pony. Now he owns 1,400 acres of land, with more than one-half their farm holdings in money and cover crops. RECEIEEES RENTALS OF $1,000 A MO. John B. Keys, who came to Oklahoma as a homesteader in 1891, with $65 in his pockets, is one of the wealthiest Negroes in Okmulgee, a thriving city 30 miles from Muskogee, rich in oil and gas properties. Keys owns a solid block of two-story buildings in the heart of the best business section, together with 16 cottages and 6 store buildings, and has the respect of his white and black competitors in business. Keys' rents amount to $1,000 a month, from $100,000 worth of buildings, and his receipts from the sale of groceries amount to $1,200 a day. C. W. Gilliam runs a first-class general store in Oklahoma, Miss. and has for his customers some of the best white people. In March, 1886, Gilliam's father died, leaving destitute a wife and eight children—four boys and four girls. Young Gilliam earned his first money by hunting for old, dirty bones, which he sold for a few cents a bushel. In 1893 he bought his first bill of groceries for $81. In 1897 he began a business in notions with a stock worth $50. A little later he opened a shoe line with $30 worth of good but inexpensive footwear. Now he employs six clerks, does an annual business of over $40,000 and has a substantial brick store. He lives, with his family, in a twelve-room house, has 12 tenants and owns 80 acres of farm land. COLORADO REPUBLICAN PLATFORM At a meeting of the Republican state central committee on Tuesday last after the election of officers, the platform for the state campaign was announced as follows: "Adherence to the principles of a protective policy through the enactment of just and adequate protective tariff laws; pledging of our nominees for the national Congress to stand first for Colorado in the struggle for industrial progress and advancement; liberal appropriations by the National Congress for smith shops, 12 shoe shops, 12 tailor shops, 1 dairy, 2 ice cream stores, 10 coal dealers, 2 undertakers, 1 steam laundry, 3 livery stables, 12 real estate brokers, 4 cab lines, 1 moving picture theatre, 1 bottling works. There are 30 Negro preachers, 4 dentists, 4 pharmacists, 14 lawyers, 5 periodicals, 15 Baptist, 6 Methodist, 1 Christian, 1 Episcopal and 1 Church of God; 13 fraternal orders, 7 women's organizations. Muskogee has four fine schools for its children. The Manuel Training High School did all the carpentry work last year on a strictly modern, six room cottage 41 by 47 feet, worth $2,000 and renting for $20 a month. The aggregate value of the Negro schools is $80,000 and 36 Negro teachers are employed in the public schools. J. E. Thompson, of Clearview, Okla, which is one of several prosperous Negro settlements, controls 5,000 acres of farm land; furnishes employment throughout the year for many members of his race; grows crops that are worth selling and brings the market to his products. The son of a slave woman, he began at the age of thirteen to farm on the half-and-half plan. After making several good crops as a sharer, he bought 20 acres and then his real struggle commenced. To day, at the age of fifty five, Thompson actually owns 1,800 acres. J. H. Teer, of Holly Springs, Miss., has succeeded in handling people as well as raising farm crops and stock. It was in 1890 that Teer started with ten dollars in borrowed cash to grow cotton—the best cotton. Now he owns 2,000 acres of land worth about $70,000, and employs 20 families which help him care for 20 mules, 100 head of crtle, and vast fields of corn From being a cowboy, poorly paid and badly sheltered, to being a prosperous plantation owner and stockraiser, is the story of Jake Simmons, one of the keen Negro business men of Haskell, Okla. In 1886 Simmons first began farming and met with a crop failure. He borrowed $80 from his boss and started again, after he had secured a contract to cut 18,000 rails as a side line. Next he became a cattle trader in the Choctaw country and here he found himself. Now Simmons actually owns in his own name, 1,800 acres—700 being in active cultivation—270 head of cattle, 150 hogs, and over 700 hens. He owns a ten-room house in which his ten children have the conveniences of modern DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 1914 State Hst & Nat Hst Soc State House more and better roads, also the maintenance of good roads in our state owned or controlled by the national government; favoring an amendment to the federal constitution providing for woman suffrage; a pension law for the firemen of the cities and towns of the state of Colorado; a constitutional amendment providing that a proportionate per cent of signatures for referring and initiating bills shall be secured from each judicial district of the state; a more liberal policy towards actual settlers on government and state lands and an efficient farm loan act; a workmen's compensation act that will compel the payment of a reasonable sum to the widows and orphans from the industry where the loss occurred; condemning the efforts of the reclamation service and the interior department to prevent the utilization of the waters of our streams by the people of this state as unwarranted, unjust and unauthorized by law; denouncing the action of the state tax commission in its arbitrary raise in the assessed valuation of real estate in various counties for the year 1913 in the sum of $187,000,000, and the further raise of $135,000,000 for 1914; the just, efficient and impartial enforcement of the laws of the state in accordance with the fundamental American doctrine of all being equal under the law and the necessary protection to all citizens and people in the country; no opposition to any union either of labor or capital, when organized to accomplish lawful objects by lawful means; the enforcement of the laws concerning the liquor traffic as our position on other laws; whether in its present form or otherwise adopted; the reduction of taxes and abolition of unnecessary boards and bureaus in our efforts to strict economy; the maintenance, extension, and enforcement of civil service laws; disapproving the continuance of incompetent employees in office without proper or civil service examination."

Azalia Hackley, after a series of interesting experiences in Paris, France, during the present European war, returned to this country last week. She recured passage by way of the French line. She was in Paris during the mobilization of the French troops and remained there until the Germans were almost at the capital's gates, when the seat of the government had to be removed to Bordeaux. She will probably have some interesting lectures upon her war experiences.

State-Wide Prohibition Harmful Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, noted educator, student and author, in his commencement address as president of Columbia University, June 3, 1914, said: "Probably the greatest waste recorded anywhere in human history is the attempt to do over again that which has once been done and found disappointing or harmful. If the lessons of history as studied were really learned and heartkened to, the world would be saved an almost infinite amount of loss, of suffering and of discouragement. When this college was young the word that rose oftenest and instinctively to the lips was liberty. Men were then everywhere seeking for ways and means to throw off trammels which had been placed upon them by institutions of long standing, but which were found to hamper them at every turn and to hem them in on every side. Liberty in those days meant freedom of conscience, of speech and of the press; it meant freedom to move about over the world, to seek one's own fortune under strange skies and in foreign lands, there to live the life that one's own mind and conscience selected as most suitable. Liberty was then the watchword. Standing in his place in the convention during the fateful spring of 1793, Robespierre pronounced this definition of liberty, which is almost the best of its kind: "Liberty is the power which of right belongs to every man, to use all his faculties as he may choose. Its rule is justice; its limits are the rights of others; its principles are drawn from Nature itself; its protector is the law." Certainly his thought on this fundamental question of liberty was clear and sound. We have moved far away from his view of what is important in life. There has grown up in America an astonishingly widespread belief in the value of regulation and restriction, not only as a substitute for liberty, but directly in opposition to it. That against which the leaders of the race revolted a century and more ago is now pressed upon us in another form as a desirable end at which to aim. Not liberty, but regulation and restriction are the watchwords of today. Just as the driving force of an engine is to be found in the steam chest and not in the brake, so the driving force in civilization will be found in liberty and not in restriction. It is worth your while to take note, therefore, that while liberty is now in the foreground of human thinking and human action, it cannot be long kept out of the place which of right and of necessity belongs to it." 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 UNREGULATED DISTILLING OF LIQUOR WOULD RESULT FROM STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION. To the Editor of The Sun—Sir: You have recently published many statements concerning the traffic of whiskey and drugs in Sing Sing and the local prisons and penitentiaries. And in yesterday's issue of The Sun you gave prominence to an account of a petition for prohibition made by the convicts, of a Pennsylvania prison to the members of the Legislature. The article states that "it is certainly a wonderful argument against the liquor traffic." How can any members of a State Legislature or of Congress who advocates either state or national prohibition seriously expect that it can be enforced among the free people in any state, or in the United States, if it cannot be enforced among prisoners absolutely under restraint behind supposedly impregnable prison walls? For under a national prohibitory law, according to Congressional Hobson, home distillation will be per- QPINIONS OF EMINENT DIVINES. Very Rev. Dr. D. J. Hartley, Little Rock, Ark.: "Everyone knows that there are many saloons that are perfectly orderly and law abiding, where people go to drink their beer in peace with congenial companions, and where a drunkard is scarcely ever seen. Have I, as a minister, any more right to interfere with the business of such a place than the saloon-keeper would have to disturb the peace of my congregation while we worship?" mitted, and consequently the secret sale of whiskey will follow. Moonshine stills now operated at a great risk in competition with legitimate distilleries, just for the sake of saving the revenue tax, will have the entire field to themselves under prohibition. Their output, however, will be inferior to that of the legitimate distilleries, for the modern distilleries eliminate the fusel oil and alcohol other than ethyl alcohol. But this requires a large plant not easily hidden, as moonshine stills must be. On the other hand prohibition will completely stop the brewing of beer. Beer such as our public has been accustomed to cannot be brewed on a small scale. To make a good, wholesome and palatable article requires the best technical appliances of the modern brewery. In other words, all the evils of in temperance, far from being banished, will be multiplied when people can no longer obtain the mildest fermented drinks containing but 3 to 4 per cent of alcohol. Whiskey with 40 per cent of alcohol and more will be obtainable everywhere, but of a very deleterious quality.—Brooklyn, July 8, F. Jones, Jr. From the New York Sun, July 10, 1914. Bishop Gailor, Tennessee: "Many people thought State-wide prohibition to be the ideal remedy. Instead of calling to their aid some experts on the subject and having laws framed that could be enforced they forced through the legislature a measure that has lead to civic degeneracy. It is impracticable and its violation is productive of hidden and shameful evils. You cannot pass laws that way. The reformers should leave law making to wise experts, and be content with educating public sentiment." NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- Building operations in connection with the construction of a Masonic temple at Washington for the colored Masonic Temple association, at an approximate cost of $125,000, will be begun as soon as the contract has been awarded. The plans and specifications for the edifice, which is to be of the Italian renaissance style, are being completed by Claughton West, architect, of Washington. The building, which will be an architectural and artistic ornament to the part of the city where it will be located, will be five stories high with basement. It will be fireproof throughout, steel construction being employed with reinforced concrete floors and slag roof. The structure will measure 93 feet on U street and 134 on Tenth street, and the main entrance will be on U street. Brown tapestry brick, with Indiana limestone and granite trim, will be used in its exterior construction, and the roof will be bordered with highly ornamental galvanized iron cornices. Wrought iron grills will be used in guarding many of the windows. Both facades of the building will be treated with a central pavilion feature. The front on the U street side is to be divided into three bays, separated by Italian pilasters surrounded by ornamental capitals of Indiana limestone and embracing three stories. There will be seven bays on Tenth street, all of which will be surmounted by a tablature with a medallion. The fifth story is to be treated in the form of an attic with openings in windows and wrought iron grills. There will be a roof garden laid in red tile. The rooming facilities of the structure are as follows: The basement will contain a large drill hall, office rooms, toilet rooms and heating apparatus. On the first or ground floor will be located a banquet hall, measuring 50 by 75 feet, with kitchen and serving room adjoining. There will be two stores on the U street side and five stores on the Tenth street side. A wide stairway leads from the main entrance on U street to the upper floors. An auditorium with a seating capacity of 1,200 clear-spanned and with no column support, will be the feature of the second floor. The auditorium is to be about 90 by 100 feet in dimensions, and around it will be office rooms and in the rear a promenade separated from the auditorium by a panel partition with brass railing. The auditorium is to have high arched windows, guarded by wrought iron grills. The third floor will be the balcony floor and will also have offices. The fourth floor will contain lodge and anterooms and three smaller halls, and on the fifth floor will be located lodge rooms and a spacious banquet hall. The corridors will be of marble, bordered in mosaic design. The British colonies have enacted laws holding masters of vessels responsible for passengers landed in the colonies, excepting those passengers under contract to engage in service either for the government or for some business firm or company considered financially responsible by the government, or those convincing the government authorities that they have sufficient money within their possession to pay their return passage from the colony.

Most negro churches are constantly overtaxed. The collection table is used more frequently than any other instrument in the church. The people are generous, but the desire is stronger than the ability. Often the largest influence of the church and especially of the minister, is broken on the rock of constant and necessary exhortation to give money for the support of the church. I am told that the minister shoulders the responsibility of getting the money practically alone. This is un-Baptistic. I am told that the trustees are a body who spend the money thus secured. This is un-Baptistic and unfair. They are at present merely the channels through which the church expends. They ought to be co-operating agents in securing church support. Practical experience has taught us that the greatest results come from the widest distribution of responsibility for securing adequate support for the current expenses of the church as well as for its benevo.

While I am not certain, I think the rule holds true for French West African possessions. Thus it will be seen that Liberia is the only place American negroes can well attempt to colonize. The impression gained by conversations with various government officials of the different colonies is that the American negro is not desired. This consulate is informed that "Chief Sam" of the Gold Coast, with the assistance of some American negroes, claims to be at the head of a scheme to colonize the Gold Coast colony, or some part of the colony. My advice is to select some well-informed person to make a thorough investigation, visiting the particular section in which they intend settling, before they pay any part of their passage to West Africa. It is quite evident that some of these schemes are in every sense fraudulent. Those who have come to West Africa suffer untold misery, are for the most part illiterate farmers who have, through a long struggle, managed to save enough to pay passage for themselves and family, with barely enough to live on through their first certain attack of African malaria. Many have expressed the choice of prison life in America to freedom here. In addition to the above, now and then a misguided independent missionary comes, suffers and dies.—Consul W. T. Verby of Sierra Leone in Daily Consular Reports. The Frenchwoman who complained that it was difficult to grow old gracefully had evidently not begun early enough. "The child is father of the man," and hence of the patriarch, and whoever would easily grow old gracefully must take care and regulate wisely the earlier stages. A little artificial tinkering later on will never compensate for radical defects permitted to persist through a lifetime. In one of his letters Huxley remarks: "Somebody started a charming theory years ago—that as you get older and lose volition, primitive evil tendencies, heretofore mastered, come out and show themselves." Huxley treated this theory too lightly; there is more truth in it than he seemed aware of. Botanists tell of defects existing in plants as "sleeping eyes," diseases remaining in a lethargic state for several years, and then, with favorable conditions, revealing themselves; while physiologists similarly allow that morbid growths in the human body may remain lethargic for years and then become disastrously active. There can be no doubt but that it is much the same with the moral life. During the years when criticism and circumstance hold us to good behavior, and in which the will is most masterful tendencies to temper, avarice and selfishness are checked and disguised, while they become painfully obtrusive when the volitional power declines and the consideration paid to old age gives them unrestrained play.—Exchange. The man who would reach success hasn't much time to sit under shade trees by the wayside. lences. Increasing responsibility in securing financial support should be placed upon the trustees and strongest members of the church. Another suggestion is also along the same line. There is a tremendous need of trained leadership in the fields of evangelism, education and church management. Some pastors have expressed their great desire to secure such training for the members of their church. They have expressed their appreciation of the help given by the Home Mission society in their former fields in the South, where the actual direct assistance given them in training their workers in specialized fields seems much larger than in this apparently more favored section—Standard. What a poor opinion the good lord would have of himself if he answered all of the fool prayers that are sent up to headquarters! Shears with their handles extended to one side have been invented to enable a person to follow a pattern more closely. And the man who publicly boasts of his honesty may secretly pride himself on his ability to escape detection. An African frog sounds a call under water that can be heard for long distances. No man can be really happy unless he is on good terms with his stomach. For every 1,000 males employed in New Jersey there are 276 females.

Welborn, president of the Colo: rado Muel and Iron Company, that he believed it to be the duty of the oper- aters in Colorado to accept the basis fcr the settlement of the strike pro: posed by Federal mediators. Welborn told the President thatethe operators obected to several points in the plan, but the President asked that they re- consider the question. 4 answer to the objections of Wel- bom, the President declared he could Rot act as the umpire between the op- erators and the miners and that he felt it the duty of the operators to ac- cept the plan already adopted by the miners, The continuance of Federal troops in Colorado was discussed and later it was said the President would with. draw the troops unless a satisfactory séttlement was reached. This was not verified, however, in official quarters, ‘The President had expected to re ceive a committee representing the in. dependent coal operators involved in the strike. Welborn told him that the other operators were unable to be present, but would write. ‘The Presi dent asked that Welborn tell the other ‘operators that he could not accept a refusal of the plan. Welborn presented an_ alternative plan fer the solution of the strike trouble, but the President refused tc consider it, saying that he did not be lieve a ¢ompromise possible. ‘The President declared that the public in terests demanded the end of the striki and that it was the patriotic duty o the mine operator to accept the pro posal.

COAL OPERATORS AND PRESIDENT WILSON. ‘The coal operators of Colorado, through their representative, J. F. Wel- born, president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, held a conference with President Wilson Wednesday last in the matter relating to the breach between the Mine Workers’ union and the mine owners. Objections were made to some of the points in the plan adopted by the miners, by Mr. Wel- born, in answer to which the President declared that the operators should accept the plan, as he thought it the only means of bringing about an adjust- ment of the matter which would be satisfactory to all concerned. While the recent strike 1s something to be deplored, yet it stands to reason that some- thing can be done to bring about better conditions which will be advantageous to the workers without being necessarily detrimental to the owners. Our hope is that a conscientious action will guide those who control the situation so that a normal condition of affairs will be restored and the most amicable relationship will exist between employer and employe. COLORED CITIZENS AND THE COMING CAMPAIGN. By way of a reminder, we must bring to the notice of our Republican organizations and their leaders the element of voters among the people of color who are always willing to assist the party to champion any cause in ,, Which, the citizens of a country will be benefitted, so that the nation can again haye another proof of our determination to stand for the cause of righteousness, liberty and justice. It is therefore necessary that recognition ‘be given some representative person or persons or some reputable organiza- tion among us, through whom or which the most important efforts and rea- sonable desires of the colored voters might be intelligently communicated and understood, to the end that a more thorough and satisfactory political alli- ance might be maintained. We are quite sure that by this time the Repub- lican party is alive to the fact that the old-time custom of relying upon the colored man’s loyalty by making him a few campaign promises and the giy- ing him of a few positions is not in keeping with the advancement of the times and the increasing importance of the colored vote, and therefore our leaders of state, as well.as city and county committees, would be doing that which will result in material benefit to the organization if they attach a little more importance and extend more consideration to this portion of the party. Registration of every man and woman who is within the legal privi- lege has been almost a second nature among us, and being aware of the importance of this campaign, every colored voter seems determined to do all to bring about an improvement to our city and state and an all-round betterment of the conditions now prevailing in which as a member of the community he or she must necessarily participate. There are to be found among, us men and women of sterling ability, consistency of action, unswerv- ing in their devotion to the party, who shared its joys and sorrows when it soared, and then down to defeat, but who also entertained the bright and hope- ful side, Optimistic in their views, they would often counsel in a generous manner their fellow citizens not to lose heart, as their firm opinion is a resur- rection of the Republican party, and now as every indication points to an unparalleled and sweeping success, our party leaders should bestir them: selves and meet us in conference, taking us into their confidence, and make their appointments now so as to establish a faithful, trustworthy, permanent agency on whom they can absolutely rely. Tempus fugit. OFFICERS REPUBLICAN STATE AND COUNTY COMMITTEE. The following officers were elected to the state central committee and the city and county committee of the Republican party: Philip B. Stewart of Colorado Springs, state chairman; Mrs. Charles B. ‘Timberlake of Sterling, yice chairwoman, and John F, Vivian, secretary. A resolution was adopted giving the chairman-elect authority to name the state executive committee, which was empowered to assume the duties of the state central committee during the campaign. ‘The city and county committee elected Geo. P. Steele, chairman; Mrs. Anna M, Scott, vice chairwoman, and Louis Wagner, secretary. ‘With the selection of the above-named persons there 1s every reason to hope for abundant success in this campaign. Men of the caliber and stamina of Stewart, Steele and Vivian need no comniendation or eulogy in present: ing them to the Republican party, as they have been tried and proven worthy of the position of leaders, that will not only do justice to any organization that entrusts them with conducting its affairs, but who are bound to lead to the goal of success. We must therefore resolve to support unflinchingly these men who, in conjunction with their associates, are determined to do everything that lies in their power to steer our party to the position which she rightly belongs and which this state will prove Is hers. Party friction and little selfish roles will be entirely absent in this campaign, and the oneness in thought, spirit and action will be éssential to restore us to the place where our party will be free to act in fostering and. supporting fearlessly every cause towards the uplift of humanity and the progress of a people. Har- mony is our watchword, Success our slogan, Lovers of music, persons in whose life it has been a vital interest, will say that its influence for good must have been great in human experience generally. Those POS i, ea lll with the voice of authority, whose spirits have been deaf to it, can hardly believe that it has been a real force in the onward urge of men’s lives. A third class of persons, small in proportion and conspicuous for a prejudice against the arts in general, rather than for a hospitable attitude toward thet, have a certain mistrust of music, except in a few of its more rigid forms. Against secular music, for example, they raise a barrier of disapproval as against an enemy of morality. Very seldom nowadays, of course, but very often of old, music which was not sacred was regarded either as idle or dangerous. Human progress is a difficult thing to measure. “To trace any direct connection between it and the influence of music is not easy., Say that music has been the source of delight, inspiration, employment to millions of people. The case then is easily won for music if these things cover what we mean by “progress.” One can pretty nearly gauge, in terms of money, the increase of industry in a given time under the stimulus of a new invention, but to measure the general progresseof a people in a richly musical period is a matter for speculation. Can it be said, as a proved fact, that art makes people better? No, it cannot. But as human beings progress they make, I believe (allowing for all the mistakes, backslidings, failures and doubtful experiments), bet- ter art. a Music, I suppose, might be named the most potent of all the arts in its instant effect on the feelings (when it is in any degree emotional and not a purely intellectual form, as it was known and cultivated in the middle ages), Music is, in a sense, highly utilitarian, It will make men work with more vigor and in unison it will even make them go into battle with a sort of willingness. It causes them to forget obstacles, overcome restraints, grow tender, fierce or reverent; in short, it acts like a strong drug of instantaneous and rather transient effect upon the majority of human beings. But acting thus on the emotions, can it make for any progress, except in emotional sensitiveness, unless there results a strength- ening of the character somewhere from the exprience? Music is not “elevating,”, as it is sometimes called (or used to be, in every-day parlance). Those who hear it with significant results were “elevated” before they heard it. They only listened and understood. Music may amount to a revelation to some. It may be the key to open to them new worlds, but music did not make such people what they are. I should say that music has had little effect on human progress, though human progress has contributed vastly to the enrichment of music. What ‘flowers in art is the vitality of the human spirit seeking to announce itself in many ways. The arts do not make human probes, but human prog- ress does everything for the arts, which are varieties of its expression. What makes humanity progress, Lercinch by the way, we don’t know. ial 73. Q ' A siranger gets his first impression of any city he Hotel Clerk Should shen to visit cpa the Show More Friendliness hotel at which he registers. By Allred T. Hoffman, Brodklys, N.Y. I was born in New York, but have traveled in Europe = and have traveled consider- ably in the United States. With few exceptions, the hotel clerk in this country seems to think that he is doing you a favor in assigning you to a’room at from $3 to $5 per. It is different in the old country. In most ‘of the larger towns of Europe, and particularly in London, the hotel man- agement recognizes the fact that the person who registers is a guest. ‘The hotel is the host and should act accordingly. In London the per- son who represents the hotel at the desk makes you feel that you are welcome. If he doesn’t say so his manner says, “I am glad to have you here.” In New York and throughout this country—north and south—the stranger is not as a rule greeted with any degree of welcome. In New York two or three of the new hotels are realizing the importance of play- ing the real host. Some one at the desk is ready to be friendly and to make the man who registers feel at home. All the hotels in this country should do likewise, which course would make the stranger have all the better opinion of the city in which he is visiting for the first time. When a man does wrong he is given every chance to reform, but with a woman it is different. It is a lamentable fact that not enough girls who go astray are given |the proper chance to reform when they show the inclination to do so. A great many more would be reclaimed if they were given the right sort of treat- ment. The girl who is 60 unfortunate as to make a false step is not given the same opportunity to reform as ig extended to her brother. Thave been around a great deal and have obsérved closely, and T have yet to find a market for wild oats. ‘The fellows who get to the front are those with clear eyes and steady hands, and not the prodigal sons, The fatted calf is not killed for the prodigal daughter, but on the other hand she is taken back home through the side streets and alleys and in at the back door, and her former companions shun her 9s if she were a contagion. The difference between the acts of the daughter and the wild oats sowing of the son is not fair.

By Mt P PERRY, (Green Rizes) ge We seem to have lost sight Sia Migr cin seabre os we are placed on this earth to work out our salvation; we forget the higher aspects of our moral vision in the more exciting business of life, and we prefer to fix our own viewpoint to suit our personal convenience rather than to accept the more exacting and less attractive one that he who knows all things best may choose for us. We find it hard to rise above the trivialities and perplexitids and con- fusions of the ordinary course of life, perhaps because notwithstanding our denunciation of them we really find them too full of interest to surrender absolutely, or possibly because we have no real desire to do more than live in the present—without a thought of either the future or the hereafter, q Human Character Not Strengthened by Music By ETHEL B.

Mrs. Jonathan R. Contee arrived home Tuesday evening from an extensive visit to Los Angeles and other California points seemingly improved in health. Carl Wilson arrived home Wednesday from a three weeks' visit to his old home in Taxarkana, Ark. He also spent a few days in Dallas, Texas and reports a most enjoyable time. J. B. Minter, the well-known Five Points barber, is to be found at 1728½ Wazee street at the Railroad Porters' Club. Nice private rooms, where he hopes to have the continued patronage of his customers and others. Republican County Headquarters are opened in the Colorado hotel, Seventeenth and Tremont streets. Chairman George P. Steele offers a cordial welcome to all, and with his staff ever ready to please the public, he is prepared to give every information desired. John McHenry, who died at 1240 Ogden street, funeral services were held at the Douglas Undertaking Co. Parlor Sunday, September 20. Bro. Elder Davis officiated. Remains were intered at Riverside. A wife and several children survive him. Earl W. Tymony, a very cultured and industrious young gentleman of Chicago, spent several days in Denver the past week. During his short stay in the city he was the recipient of much social attention by his young friends. Died at Steel hospital Saturday, September 19th, Orin Carr, aged 12 years, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ire Carr of 2335 Arapahoe street. Funeral services were held at the Douglas Undertaking Co. Parlor. Remains were laid to rest in Fairmount cemetery, Rev. Over officiated. Mr. J. H. Turner, a prominent citizen and property owner of Chicago, spent several days in our city last week, and being a zealous Christian gentleman, he visited several of our churches and made quite an able address before the Epworth League of Central Baptist church. John Zobel, one of the proprietors of the popular Zobel Bros.' Sample Room, and Mrs. Pistorius were united in the holy bonds of wedlock last Sunday and are spending their honeymoon at Colorado Springs. They also made a trip to Pike's Peak. We extend our congratulations and wish them smooth sailing on the sea of matrimony. I am pleased to mention this week that I felt like a new man after taking a medicated sulphur bath at Geo. Sample's bath house. I informed George that he had made in me a new customer. I am pleased to know that his new enterprise is so liberally patronized. George, may your worthy enterprise be crowned with unlimited success, is the wish of your friend, JOS. D. D. RIVERS. Rufus Cameron, the colored heavyweight, and his manager, Syl Stewart, arrived home Sunday from Joplin, Mo., where Cameron fought Jeff Clark, losing the referee's decision. They were rematched for the middle of next month. Also arrangements were made to bring Clark to Denver for a match with Jack Thompson, which will be staged some time next month. O. W. Glenn, who was arrested in Texas several weeks ago for an alleged insult on a white woman, was exonerated at Clarendon, Texas, Wednesday of last week. It was a clean case of a frame-up, and notwithstanding the prejudice that exist against a Negro in the Lone Star state, his good reputation, which was sustained by a number of railroad men as well as those of the Pullman Company, won the sympathy of the community in which the trial was held. A picture of the best Negro ball team in the world—the American Giants of Chicago—can be seen at the Railroad Men and Waiters club, 2149 Curtis street. Manager Frank Burnley has just recently had a picture of this crack team enlarged and placed in a frame $2\frac{1}{2}\times3$ feet. While they hold the title of being the fastest Negro team, they would no doubt prove the superior of any white team if given the opportunity. Frank is receiving many compliments for the pride he takes in the interest of the race in whatever avocation it has made good. Rev. J. H. Brown, D.D., is in the city and will preach at Campbell A. M. E. church on Sunday morning and will attend services at Shorter at night. Dr. Brown has been in the Colorado conference for a period of ten years and has now transferred to the Oklahoma conference. He leaves a host of friends in the Colorado conference, who look upon Dr. Brown's going from them as a great loss to any community where he has ever lived, for he was a promoter of some noble things and achievements. He is a scholar and able preacher, and the church will succeed wherever he is pastor. The Colorado Statesman wishes for him a happy lot and great success wherever he may go. The All Star vaudeville show given under the auspices of the Five Points Amusement Co., scored quite a success in their initial effort in the entertainment at Fern hall Friday evening, 18th inst. The large audience must have been very much impressed with the rendition of the various contributions to the program as item after item came in for its share of applause, meriting an encore. Miss Jennie Hicks, our popular soprano; Mr. Wright Basso-baritone of Chicago, Miss McDaniel, commedienne, the Peerless Trio (Messrs. Holly, Wolfskill and Jackson) also the Redmond Trio (Messrs. Redmond, Frank Junior and Duncan) and last, but not least, the Five Points quartet subscribed largely to the success of the evening in their respective solos, trios, etc., and the general opinion was very commendable. Miss Jessie Andrews was the accompanist of the evening and carried out her part very effectively. Mr. W. A. Wade, manager of the amusement company, deserves much praise for his action in bringing together such an array of musical talent, and it would be to the credit of Denver if these artists would give us an exhibition of this kind at least once a month. The hall was decorated with American flags and buntings, which added to the fine aspect of the interior. At the close of the program the hall was turned over to the spectators for the tripping of the light fantastic. DE PRIEST-DAVIS WEDDING. It is ours to announce the marriage of Mr. Claude H. De Priest of Denver, Colo., to Miss Julia Lee Davis of Vicksburg, Miss., Wednesday, September 9, 1914. Beautiful simplicity marked the ceremony. The bride, who is one of the South's most beautiful and popular girls, was elegance itself in her bridal robe. The groom is a young man with a promising future and is connected with the Mound Bayou Printing Co. The happy couple received many beautiful and costly presents. A wedding gift to the bride from her mother was an endowment of $20 per month and a home wherever the young couple wish to reside. The newly married couple left on the 10:40 train for Mound Bayou where they were met by Mr. and Mrs. Bryant, Misses Evelyn and Gladys Jones and others. Mr. De Priest is the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. K. De Priest of Denver, a highly respected and prominent family of that place. SHORTER'S CHAPEL NOTES. The order of service at Shorter's to-morrow will be as follows: Sunday school at 9:45 a. m. At 11 sermon by Rev. John L. Williams of Seattle, Wash. At 6 p. m. Allen Christian Endeavor League; 7:30 sermon by Rev. W. H. Thomas of Phoenix, Ariz. It is earnestly hoped that every member of Shorter will fill his pew both morning and evening, and thus give our distinguished visitors a respectful hearing and our new pastor a cordial welcome. THE COLORADO ANNUAL CONFERENCE HOLDS THIRTY-NINTH SESSION AT COLORADO SPRINGS. Bishop H. B. Parks of Chicago Presiding. The thirty-ninth session of the Colorado Annual Conference held in Colorado Springs last week was, in many respects, a remarkable gathering. First of all, Bishop H. B. Parks, who presided over the sessions, was never in finer spirit and he never greeted the brethren in a more cordial manner than on this occasion. His manifest determination to uphold a high moral standard for our ministry, even when it meant personal sacrifice to himself, was beautiful and greatly endearled him to his brethren. Our local churches made splendid reports, Shorter Chapel reporting over one hundred accessions and $460 dollar money; and Campbell-Chapel, over one hundred accessions and $164.50 dollar money. Shorter not only reported the largest amount of any church in the conference, but her increase over all previous reports was also the largest, being $20. Reports from charges throughout the conference, with few exceptions, showed that the work is enjoying a healthy growth. The entertainment of the conference was all that could be hoped for. Rev. Spurgeon D. Davis and the People's M. E. church and the members of the Baptist church vied with Dr. D. A. Graham and Payne Chapei in seeing that every comfort was provided for visitors. The People's church went so far as to serve dinner Friday for the entire conference. A strong spirit of brotherhood was manifested by members of the stronger race also. The mayor of the city addressed the conference in terms which spelled WELCOME, and the pastor of the First Methodist church not only welcomed this body to the city, but also invited the conference to supply his pulpit on the Sabbath, which invitation was accepted. The opening sermon was by the Rev. D. R. Jones of Albuquerque, and the ordination by Rev. John L. Williams. Prof. John R. Hawkins of Washington, D. C., delivered the educational address. Revs. J. W. Warren and W. H. Thomas also preached splendid sermons. Revs. Robert L. Pope and James Washington were returned to our local pastorates, and Rev. A. M. Ward was returned to the district, for which Denver is justly proud. The number of ministers transferred both into and out of the conference was unusually large this year. Those going out were; Revs. A. H. Brooks, to the Kansas conference; J. H. Brown, to the Oklahoma conference; S. D. Lovell, to the N. Missouri conference; W. H. Thomas, to the New York conference; D. A. Graham, to Spokane, Wash., Puget Sound conference; T. D. Cate, Anaconda, Mont., Puget Sound conference, and J. W. Warren, to Kansas conference. Those coming in were Revs. John L. Williams from Seattle, Wash.; F. L. Donhoo from Spokane, Wash.; Wm. Hawkins from Joplin, Mo.; John Adams from Butte, Mont.; R. H. Herring and S. E. Newell from California conference. Appointments.

Variety is the main spice of salads as of life. While connoisseurs all agree that pure, fresh olive oil is the best for salads, there are people who prefer the fat smoked bacon and rellish its flavor above all else. It is well to remember that we should know how to substitute one condiment or another, if necessary, and not go saladless for want of one particular flavoring material. Salt is perhaps the one indispensable seasoning, and of all flavoring substances the onion is the most valuable and enjoyable to all, even to those who would not willingly eat the salad if they knew the onion bad been used. For use in salads, however, the onions must be mild in flavor and their presence cunningly concealed. Salads of all kinds should be gently handled. That is, they should not be heavily turned, but mixed in a very large bowl, by running the fork and spoon down the sides of the dish and then gently tossing the salad with an upward movement, letting it mix as it falls back. In mixing a plain lettuce or other green salad it is well to put the oil on first and then carefully toss the leaves about until all are covered, in every part, with a thin coating of the oil. Then add the other ingredients and toss again. A small quantity of oil is sufficient when this method of thorough mixing is observed. Lettuce should always be very carefully cleaned several hours before it is wanted and then wrapped in a wet cloth and put directly on ice until it is wanted. A salad should never be mixed until just before it is to be served. The various accompaniments of a salad add much to its attractiveness. One thing full of possibilities is the wafer. These should always be crisp, and if they are damp they can be crisped in the oven. Small wafers flavored with cheese are delicious with salad. So are thin salt wafers dotted with butter and sprinkled with pepper and browned in the oven. These should be served hot. Then there is the cheese of various sorts that is served with salad. Imported cheese, naturally, is going up in price because of the war, but nothing is better than Philadelphia cream cheese, made into little balls and rolled in ground nut meats, or with two halves of walnuts or pecans pressed into the sides of a cheese ball. American domestic cheese sprinkled on wafers which are heated in the oven is also decidedly appetizing. Stuffed Cucumbers Peel the cucumbers, cut them in halves lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Mix together equal parts of finely chopped cooked veal and ham, add half the quantity of fine bread crumbs, moisten with melted butter and season with pepper, salt and a few drops of onion juice. Fill the cucumbers, place the halves together and tie with soft twine. Put them in a baking pan, pour in one cupful of stock and bake until tender. Remove the twine, put the cucumbers on a hot platter, thicken the gravity in the pan, pour it over and around the cucumbers and serve. Clean Up Rubbish. If you, the housewife, get a wee bit tired of the daily round sometimes, vow a vow and keep it. Each housecleaning time throw away or give away or sell everything that you do not need. Let all the rooms have nothing superfluous, but be particular to have the sleeping rooms so simply furnished that five minutes will suffice to set one in order and one hour to clean it thoroughly. Evaporated Apple Ples. One-quarter box of evaporated apples and one half pound of rhubarb to a pie. Soak the apples over night. Peel and cut rhubarb in small pieces. Use the usual amount of sugar for apple pies, a pinch of salt and a few bits of butter. Can use a little spice if you like. The rhubarb gives the flavor of green apples. Cauliflower Au Parmesan Cook the cauliflower in boiling salted water until tender and break it into small branches. Butter a baking dish, put in the cauliflower with stems down, cover with white sauce, sprinkle with two tablespoonfuls of grated parmesan, cover with buttered crumbs and bake until brown. Broiled Green Peppers Cut young green peppers into quarters, remove the seeds and partitions, place on a greased broiler, cook over a clear fire until the edges curl, sprinkle with a dash of salt, dot with bits of butter and serve on cooked beef. Before washing fine lace or muslin collars and cuffs always baste them onto a pice of heavier muslin. You will find it excellent to prevent their tearing or stretching in the process of laundering.

Denver, Colorado BRITISH SOLDIERS TELL HOW THEY WON THE DAY AT MARNE By GEORGE DRU. International News Service. Paris.—Details given me by British soldiers enable me to give the following account of the participation of the British in the great battle of the Marne: The troops had marched since dawn through a country of fields and comfortable farm houses. As the afternoon wore on they could see the foe had been driven back from positions recently held. On all sides began to appear stretches of charred waste and broken, gaunt walls, relics of happy homes—even a church on the edge of a village given to the flames, and tombstones trampled under foot. As the march was renewed the temper of the men exhibited a distinct change. There was no more whistling, no more light banter. Each man's face was set and determined. As night drew near the rumbling of guns was audible in the distance. Then came a galloper on a foam-spattered horse bearing dispatches to the general. After delivering the dispatches he mounted a fresh horse and disappeared into the darkness. Still the khaki-clad wave marched on, every mile bringing the sound of heavy firing nearer. Toward midnight a squad of cavalry came into touch on the right, and a little later—the men were in what they soon discovered was to be the firing line. Trenches Dug at Night. The army came to a halt, but harder things than blankets were in store. Gallopers came flying from nowhere and were as quickly dispatched into the darkness. After a wait of no long duration the men dug trenches and threw up breastworks to be ready for the coming fray. Daylight showed in front of an almost level stretch of open country, backed up by a belt of growing timber, where the Germans had taken up their position. Although none of the foe was visible, the woods were alive with armed men, and behind the woods lay artillery in trenches protected by breastworks. The British troops waited, backed up by heavy guns in the rear. Suddenly there was shooting in the distance, followed by a long wall as a shell passed over their heads, to explode with a deafening roar at a safe distance from the trench. The Germans had opened the duel. Guns Begin to Answer. The guns of the British soon began to answer with greater effect. All at once little spurts of dust were noticeable rising in front. The men in the woods were trying to get the range, but still our men had no orders to fire. One of our men, unable to control his anxiety to use his rifle, rose from the trenches, fully exposing himself to the enemy's fire, only to fall back dead. Finding themselves unable to draw our fire, the Germans advanced in the open, only to be met by a heavy volley. They quickly sought cover, and then the fight became vigorous. With two hours' continuous fighting, the foe returned into the heart of the woods. Our guns practically silenced the German battery, thanks to information received from a French airplane. They then turned their attention to the riflemen in the woods and under protection of their fire our soldiers silenced the infantry. If it had been a parade they could not have shown more coolness and steadiness. Enemy Quits Thicket. After covering most of the intervening space at a march they broke into the double and soon were in the vicinity of the thicket. Finding our guns had located them, the enemy had retreated. Our left and right flank cavalry rounded the edge of the woods while the infantry passed through the center of the timber. On reaching the far side they fell into close formation and charged the foe, and what they missed was not enough to fill a liquor glass, let alone a tumbler. Dead Germans, struggling, wounded horses and broken guns made a thrilling but terrible picture. Great gashes torn in the earth were eloquent signs of the accuracy of British gunnery. At another stage of the great battle the Germans massed near a wood. The British lay well away from them on one side, the French under General Pau on the other. Some desultory firing took place and the Germans tried to hide their real strength under cover of the forest, but the allied commanders had been well supplied with information and were on the alert. The Germans' right asked for an armistice for the purpose of attending to their wounded and haring their dead, but while this request was under consideration a British aeroplane discovered the Germans were setting a trap for the allies. Negotiations at GERMAN STAFF MANIFESTS CONFIDENCE IN OUTCOME Berlin.—Members of the general staff here in private conversation have manifested absolute confidence in the outcome of the battle in France, as their own army is steadily growing stronger and the lines of communication have been adjusted to permit a more efficient supply of provisions and ammunition, it having rather outrun its supply arrangements in the rapid once were broken off and the fighting recommenced. Death Trap Fails. An airman had seen an immense number of guns enter the woods, the foe evidently having planned to put up a sham fight and retreat so as to draw the British to the hidden guns. It was a well planned death trap, but the allies by this time were aware of the tactics. The motive behind the request for an armistice was to kill the allies into a sense of security and so enable fresh German forces to arrive from Compiegne. A terrific cannonade at once was opened upon the wood, which took fire, and as a brisk wind was blowing, the flames soon turned the forest into an inferno. The Germans rushed out in great disorder, and the British, who were waiting, fell on them hip and thigh. The men, remembering all that has been done by them and the peasantry, fought with terrible fury, and wiped out the score. The German commander concentrated all his energies on saving the guns, but this was just the thing the allied commanders had decided to frustrate. Much fierce fighting took place around the artillery, the British cavalry distinguishing itself by its dash and determination, sweeping down upon the German horsemen trying to escort the guns to places of safety. They were through them like an avalanche, and it will be long before those Teutons who escaped forget the headlong, irresistible rushes of our hard riders. Cavalry's Worth Shown. Cavalry's Worth Shown. Once again it was demonstrated that the cavalry arm still is one of the most effective an army can possess when it is used at the proper moment and in the right way. Cavalry may be useless against men entrenched on kopies, but in the open field it is as effective as in the days of the first Napoleon. Not only did the cavalry prevent the German guns from escaping, but their lightning-like delivery of charges prevented the gunners from taking up positions from which to work havoc on our infantry. The Germans were busy at all times, and the accuracy of their firing soon made every fresh position untenable. Our infantry went also into the fray with terrible relish and zest. The zonave-like open formation is the best on earth for rapid advance and heavy volleying on the move. Our men got over the ground at a swinging pace, and closed up for bayonet work. The men literally were on the run, and nothing could stop them. They went through the Germans like fire through flax. The French are loud in their praises of the British in this battle. Stand after stand was made by the Germans in hope of stemming the tide of disaster until support should arrive, but the British knew the value of time as well as the Germans, and pushed the attack home so hotly that, according to the latest verbal reports, the enemy lost, in dead and wounded, 35,000 men. A large amount of artillery, great and small, big guns and rapid firers, fell into the British hands. RIVERS CHOKED WITH BODIES OF AUSTRIANS London.—"The newspaper correspondents describe horrible scenes on the battlefields abandoned by the Austro-German forces last week," says the Morning Post's Petrograd correspondent. "Streams, they say, were choked full with slain men, trodden down in the headlong flight till the waters were dammed and overflowing the banks. Piles of dead are awaiting burial or burning. Hundreds of acres are sown with bodies and littered with weapons and battle debris, while wounded and riderless horses are careering madly over the abandoned country. The trophies captured comprise much German equipment. An ammunition train captured at Janow (11 miles northwest of Lemberg) was German, while the guns taken include 46 heavy caliber bearing Emperor William's initials and belonging to the German Sixth army corps. "The line of retreat of the Austro-German forces was blocked with debris of every kind—valuable military supplies, telephone and telegraph installations, light railway and other stores, bridging material—in fact, everything needed by a modern army was flung away in flight. Over one thousand wagons with commissariat supplies alone were captured. "Newspaper dispatches assert that the German troops have been interspersed with Austrian troops in the intrenchments in order to raise the morale of the Austrians. One correspondent declares that while the Austrians took flight the Germans were ready to the last man to perish." advance on Paris. The French army, according to the staff, is showing signs of having shot its bolt and has fought itself to a standstill, being unable-to fill its depleted ranks like the Germans. The headquarters announcement's still give no definite information regarding the position of the battle line, contenting themselves with speaking of it generally as located between the Oise and Meuse rivers, but not mentioning what part of this large region the Germans occupy.

After Reading Judge Butler's Letter State Board Commutes Sentences of Several Prisoners. Denver.—Appreciation of the interest taken by Judge Charles C. Butler of Denver in men sentenced by him to the state penitentiary was expressed by the State Board of Pardons, which held a regular meeting and granted several commutations of imprisonment. Judge Butler had written a letter to the board recommending that the sentences of three men be commuted, if the investigations of the board and the behavior of the men warranted the action. He said that, in reviewing his service in the Criminal Court division, he had found that he had been more severe than he would now be, and suggested reductions of the men's terms to make them in conformity with other sentences imposed by him. The commutations granted by the board were: Harvey King, sentenced to death from El Paso county and later commuted to life imprisonment; commutation to thirty years to life. James F. McDonald, sentenced to life imprisonment from Conejos county in 1902; commutation to thirty years to life. Frank Farrow, sentenced from El Paso county in 1906 for murder; commutation to twenty-five years to life. Ross Hollingsworth, sentenced from Conejos county in 1909 to a term of thirteen and one-half years to sixteen years for forgery and larceny; commutation to twelve and sixteen years. Tom Kvitko, sentenced from Pueblo in 1912 to seven years and eleven months to eight years for murder; commuted to a term of six years and eleven months to eight years. Albert Pottyrolski, sentenced to a term of from two to five years for larceny of live stock in Huerfano county; commuted to a term of two to four years. As he is now out on parole, the commutation returns to him the right of citizenship. Jack Hallady, sentenced from Denver in 1913 to a term of from seven to eleven years for assault to rob; commutation to a term of from five to eight years. The board denied clemency to a number of prisoners. Red Cross Seeks Aid. The Mountain division headquarters of the American National Red Cross is sending out from its office in the State Capitol at Denver an urgent appeal to the states in its division for contributions, in order that the piteous appeals that are being received daily by cable at the national headquarters at Washington may, in part, be met. Supreme need for surgeons, nurses and hospital supplies is becoming more evident. Sanitary supplies cannot be bought on the continent, so that the sufferings of hundreds of thousands of wounded human beings must be relieved from the shores of the United States. One vessel, "The Red Cross," already has sailed with a cargo of 3,500 bales of absorbent cotton; 389,000 yards of gauze; 15,000 pounds of handages; 100,000 gallons of iodine; 2,000 gallons of morphine and ether; 10,000 stretchers together with large quantities of adhesive plaster, legatures for sewing wounds and surgical instruments. At the special prices quoted to the Red Cross, this cargo has cost $153,000. Other vessels must be secured and dispatched at once. More than one million dollars will be required to meet the expenses of this humane mission, which is administered without it partiality, to the suffering of all of the nations alike. The American National Red Cross is asking for gifts, small as well as large. These may be sent to the governor of the state, or direct to the Division headquarters office of the American National Red Cross at the State Capitol in Denver. School Fund Gets $10,800. Denver.—A sale of 30,400 acres of school land at Limon netted the school fund $10,800. The total received for the land was $180,000*or an average price of $6 an acre. The lowest price was $5 an acre and the highest $26. Denies Shortage in Guard Fund. Denver.—Governor Ammons denies he ever admitted or ever knew of any shortage in the funds of the Colorado National Guard. New Barber Examiner Named. Denver. Governor Ammons appointed J. E. Connelly of Denver a member of the State Board of Barber Examiners. Demonstration by Airman Beachey. Demonstration by Airman Beachey. Denver is to witness an unusually thrilling sensation Thursday, Oct. 8, when Lincoln Beachey, the world's most daring loop-the-loop aviator and upside-down flyer will perform with Barney Oldfield in a joint exhibition for the benefit of the Denver Press Club at Overland park. Beachey is by no means deterred in his intention of flying in the vicinity of the mountains by the 2,000-foot fall and death of his flying partner, Weldon B. Cook, at the Pusble state fair SAVING ON LAUNDRY BILLS Do You Know That— Frequent Pressing Will Do Much Toward Preserving Appearance of the Thin Garments. The woman whose ambition it is to always look well dressed will pay special attention to the pressing of her garments. A linen shirt waist or suit should be pressed after each wearing. All thin waists and dresses can be worn twice as long before being laundered if they are pressed often. They are usually more mussed than soiled when put in the wash. Garments which must be pressed on the wrong side, but which need a touch on the right side, may be pressed very nicely provided a piece of smooth tissue paper is used to protect the goods from the hot iron. When ironing silks and ribbons the use of tissue paper will prevent them from becoming shiny. A white frock or blouse that is soiled in places, but not enough to require laundering, may be much improved by the following method: Dissolve some gloss starch in warm water, moisten the soiled portions with this mixture and press carefully. The garment will look almost as good as new and may be worn several times without laundering. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF Lingerie waists will not get mussed nearly as soon and are much easier to iron when subjected to the following method: Wash as usual, but do not starch. When dry, dip in borax water, using one tablespoonful of borax to one quart of warm water. Wring out and fold in a towel for a few hours, then iron dry. JOB PRINTING VARIOUS USES FOR HERBS All That Are Grown in the Garden Have Their Peculiar Qualities That Should Be Understood. Angelica, for flavoring cakes. Lavender, for oil and distilled water. Sage, for sausage and meat dressings. Sweet fennel, leaves used in fish sauces. Dill, the seeds are used to flavor pickles. Borage, leaves boiled as dandelion or spinach. Thyme, in gravies and dressings of stuffed meats. Chives, leaves used for flavoring soups and salads. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. Borage, balm and catnip are useful where one has bees. Tarragon, leaves useful in giving flavor to vinegar and pickles. Coriander, fennel and caraway seeds are used for flavoring fruit snips and cakes. Among those having medicinal value are arnica, hops, catnip, bene, pennyroyal, belladonna, sage, rue, horehound, marshmallow, wormwood, hyssop and peppermint. Fig and Nut Jelly Wash a cupful of pulled figs in cold water. Put over a slow fire with two cupfuls of cold water and stew figs until tender. Skim out figs and to the juice add one-half cupful of sugar and boil until it is like thin sirup (there should be one cupful of liquid). Chop figs and one-quarter cupful of shelled pecans not very fine. Soak one-half box of gelating in one cupful of cold water for half an hour. To the gelatine add one-half teaspoonful of lemon juice, and to the fig sirup add one-half cupful of boiling water. Strain through fine sieve or piece of cheesecloth. When nearly set, add nuts and figs. Turn into molds and set in cool place for three hours. Serve with·whipped cream. 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. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction To Peel a Tomato. The tomato season is with us, and many a housekeeper would be glad to know how to slip the skin off without the use of boiling water. Press the back or blunt part of knife against the tomato, keep pressing around from center to core, two or three times, without breaking the skin, then strip off, with the same result as using hot water. This is easy to do and is especially nice in summer, when you prefer tomatoes cold for salad. Creamed Celery. Remove the leaves and small stalks from two heads of celery, wash and cut in half-inch lengths. Boil in salted water until tender. While the celery is boiling make a sauce of one cupful of cream or thick milk and one tablespoonful of butter mixed with flour. Boil the sauce until it is smooth and thick. When the celery is ready, drain and place it in a dish, pour over the sauce and serve. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver Keeping Lemons Lemons may be kept soft and fresh for some time either by keeping them in a jar of water or by coating each lemon with white of egg. Two or three whites will be sufficient for a great many lemons. Roll them in the white and let them dry. When they are required for use rub the coating off with your hands. To Cook an Egg. Have the water boiling rapidly, then break the egg into it and set it on top of the stove, or where it will keep warm for three minutes; then serve. The egg will be jellied all the way through. This is the best way to cook it for a little child. Jam and Marmalade Hint. When making jam or marmalade add a piece of butter about the size of an egg before removing it from the fire. This makes the fruit look clear without skimming it.

"Spare my blushes," she pleaded, "Good gracious!" he replied. "Can you still blush? Where have you been blushing these past few years?"—Chicago Record. M. NOT all the coiffures that compel our admiration because their wearers look so well groomed are waved. Many women have the knack of arranging the hair prettily about the face, who have never made the acquaintance of the waving iron. Others curl only a small portion of the hair about the forehead and manage the rest without waving. A simple and very pretty coiffure, innocent of waves, is shown in the picture given here. In it the hair is combed to the top of the head, where it is coiled in a loose pointed knot and ornamented with large shell pins set with rhinestones. The hair about the face is dampened and drawn down at each side, forming two large waves, which are pinned to place with invisible wire pins. It is combed over the top of the ears and wire pins support it in two loose waves at each side of the face. Source of the Current Fashions THE FASHION WEEK THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY BEFORE the clouds of war cast their onious shadows, those creators of styles in Paris to whom the world of Fashion looks for new ideas, had already launched some of their efforts. There is no gainsaying the wealth of ideas, the keenness of perception and the ingenuity of these authorities. In this country we look to Three beautiful costumes, which will bear the most careful scrutiny, are shown in the snapshots taken of French women which are reproduced here. From the crowns of their heads to the tips of their shoes every detail of their clothes shows the exercise of good taste in the employment of new ideas. All the hats shown are of velvet with small soft crowns and wide brims. They are all simply trimmed, and they foreshadow the styles that may become fashions. Already the cape coat is an assured success. It is pictured here worn as part of a suit over a skirt which is plain except for plattings which drape it to the figure. The coat and cape in one suggest a waistcoat at the front and a full rippled cape from the back. The garment is, in fact, a very clever evolution inasmuch as it introduces the waistcoat, the cape and the coat with wide vevers, in a one-piece garment This style is adapted, to a full and rather round face and is especially good for her who possesses a pretty forehead. Another pretty uncurled coiffure is arranged by means of a pompadour which extends entirely across the top of the head. When the front hair has been combed over the support required for the pompadour it is confined at the back with hairpins temporarily. A shallow part is made at the left side of the forehead and the hair combed toward the right, so that it sweeps across the brow. A curving shell comb is inserted to hold this hair in place. It extends from temple to temple. The hair is fluffed over the ears and temples and held into position with invisible wire pins. The back hair is arranged in a coll at the crown, or lower, according to its becomingness. THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY It is worn over a thin blouse having a very handsome, wide frill of lace about the neck, wired to stand up after the fashion of the medici collar. The bag, gloves and uppers of the smart walking shoes are made to match the costume. A remarkably clever skirt appears in the costume, of colored taffeta with embroidery on the bodice and at the foot of the front panel in the drapery. The underskirt is draped in about the ankles, suggesting the Turkish trouser inspiration. Over this is worn a short tunic cut with a long panel at the front. The bodice has a round neck finished with a turnover collar of origandie. A surplice front is indicated in its drapery, although the opening is arranged at the right side. This is covered by bringing the silk from the right shoulder to the waist line at the left side. The back of the bodice is extended to form a short yoke at each side of the front, and the shoulders are rather long. The full sleeves are set in and wrinkled about the arms. The fronts of the draped bodice are extended to form a loose girdle about the waist. There is almost no definition of the waist line, which appears to be vanishing from our midst.
