OCTOBER 3 1914 NO 6 Patriotism Likened Unto Christianity According to our best authority patriotism is the love which one has for his country; the passion which aims to serve ones country either in defending it from invasion or protecting its rights and maintaining its laws in vigor and purity. Patriotism may in many respects be likened unto Christianity in that it covers so much ground and that there are so few who may really be called patriotic from all standpoints. A word of cheer and a pleasant smile here, little deeds of kindness there and a willingness at all times to make great sacrifices for mankind and the kingdom are truly characteristic of the Christian life whereas the patriotic citizen is characterized by his motives and his efforts to make good citizens out of the bad, by training the youth along right lines and by being ever ready to answer his country's call whether this call be to arms at the sacrifice of home and family and possibly life or whether it be a call in some civil pursuit with a sacrifice of large income. It is the object of the Christian to bring about the melinium, it is the object of the patriot to bring to reality the Utopia. There are two principal ways in which one may show his patriotism. The first is by defending it against invasion and putting down rebellion. When a foreign country insults the American flag, congress if not in session hastily assembles at the call of the president and demands through an ultimatum a retraction of the insult and if this ultimatum is not complied with, war is declared and the news is flashed over the country like lightning and a million men spring up as one man and offer their services to save their country's honor. They march to the battlefield and freely give their blood and life. Greater patriotism hath no man than this that he lay down his life for his country may well be said of those who sacrifice their lives for the flag, but that is not all of patriotism for equally as patriotic is the man who shows his patriotism in the second principal way by maintaining the constitution and assisting in enforcing the law. There is no country on the face of the earth with as good and great a constitution or with better laws than the United States of America and there is no country on the face of the earth whose constitution and laws are violated like they are in America. The great trouble with American patriotism is that it is so one-sided that the enemy who insults the flag is shot down while the laws are allowed to slump and be trampled upon without the least emotion. If the majesty of the is once instilled in the great American mind, the people will then rise enmase to defend the law as they do the flag and such things as corporations rule the lynching bee and the stake will be things of the past. The most striking example of patriotism we have is the life of Booker T. Washington who never served his country in the capacity of a soldier but by turning the light of intelligence upon the ignorance and superstition of his belated brethren he has done more of a patriotic service than did most of our great warriors. The thing that should inspire patriotism is the justice of a country's laws and its fair dealing with its common citizenship. The peculiar thing about America is that the element of its citizenship, the exact name of which has never been determined but possibly you will know who we mean when we say, it is the element to whom the flag gives the least protection but which sings "My Country 'tis of Thee" the most and the loudest in its churches and convention halls and always manage to get into the thickest of the fight in war time and fight the most furious. When the squalid conditions are viewed and the associated press depicts in big red heedlines the heinous crimes committed by some burly member of this element the question is sometimes asked if the boys of '63 who wore the blue did not die in vain. When we look at the onward march of prejudice, the unfair play at the supposed bar of justice. When we look at the nations naval academy where no black face can enter, and at the military academy where few of our people have entered and still fewer are likely to enter, we feel like asking if most of our blood sacrificed on the alter of liberty has not been in vain. We have built up a great reputation as a fighting people and the result has been far short of what it should be. Now, don't you think it time for us to build up our reputation as law abiding citizens and see if the result won't be different. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House GEORGE A. CARLSON AND THOMAS M. PATTERSON-A CONTRAST. UX STUDIO DENVER. George A. Carlson, Republican nominee for governor, and Thomas M. Patterson, his Democratic opponent, present such a well-defined contrast as men that it doesn't take a magnifying lens to enable a voter to determine who shall be his choice in November. Patterson is well past the zenith of his political career; Carlson is in his very prime, a magnificent example of perfect physical development, his reward for simple living, his hard toil in the fields to secure an education, his athletic training in college. Both are selfmade men. Patterson made himself for Thomas M. Patterson alone; Carlson developed mind and body to be of service to others. Patterson built up a notorious reputation as a skillful scheming defender of criminals; Carlson has won merited political recognition because he has ably defended the people against law-breakers of every sort. Patterson has been successful in a mercenary way; Carlson has prospered in the right way. Patterson has a fortune of several millions; Carlson has a good name that money could not buy. Patterson, therefore, is rich in money; Carlson is rich in character and service well performed. Patterson has been cunning and smooth; Carlson has been capable and conscientious. Patterson has a keen, conspiring mind; Carlson has a keen, honest mind. Patterson's life has been filled with personal emmities; Carlson's has been crowned with strong friendships. Patterson has brooked no interference with his pet political schemes; Carlson has made fair play his watchword. Patterson, as owner of the Denver News, tried to crush his enemies by scamming, remorseless journalistic attacks; Carlson has demanded justice for friend and foe alike when the laws have been violated. Patterson has never rendered a public service without hope of private gain; Carlson, as district attorney, has served the people without fear or favor. Patterson has always had an over-mastering desire to become the czar in Colorado's politics; Carlson believes that faithful, efficient service brings its own reward. Patterson has achieved political influence by forcing people to fear his talents and his tactics; Carlson, at the recent primary election, carried his district by a very large majority, a wonderful testimonial to his clean, able, fearless record as district attorney. Patterson has proved his belief in the doctrine that might is right; Carlson has demonstrated that right is might. Patterson throughout his life has followed the principle that the end justifies the means; Carlson has always made clear as district attorney that the hight means always results in a just end. Patterson has schemed in hundreds-of-criminal cases to defeat justice; Carlson has always impartially and fearlessly enforced the laws that justice would prevail. Patterson is known as an adept in "the game of politics"; Carlson, as the best district attorney Colorado has ever had, needs no further recommendation for political preferment than his brilliant, honest record. Patterson, as the self-styled people's champion, has ever been the aggressive, selfish champion of the desires and ambitions of Thomas M. Patterson; Carlson has put the people and their laws above the dictates of self. Patterson has ardently espoused the cause of the United Mine Workers; Carlson espouses the cause of the people against the law violators of every class. Patterson's life has been an enigma; Carlson's life is an open book. Patterson is truly the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of Colorado's politics; Carlson never preaches one thing and practices another. Between these two nominees the contrast is so striking that every true Coloradoan must go to the polls in November and cast his vote for George A. Carlson. A victory for Patterson would mean, in Colorado, a continuance of disgraceful political warfare with all its vilifications and bitter exchange of personalities. Colorado has too long suffered because such men as Thomas M. Patterson are barnacles on her ship of state. Colorado is weary of political turmoil and strife. Colorado needs a rest, a chance to be free from the pernicious activities of politicians who have sacrificed her good name for personal aggrandizement. Colorado has had enough of Thomas M. Patterson and his trouble-breeding followers. Colorado is face to face with a crisis, and Thomas M. Patterson, as his life's record shows, is not the man to bring order out of chaos and build up Colorado. The time calls for a man as governor whose political record has been clean. George A. Carlson comes before the people clean; a public official without regrets; with no political debts to pay; with no enmities to hamper him; no factions to serve; no masters to follow. He is the man to keep Colorado out of the mire of political demoguery and give her the chance to become healthy and strong after her many years of political sickness, caused in no small part by the personal selfishness, ambitions, agitations and enmities of Thomas M. Patterson.—Boulder County News. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Louisville, Ky., Sept. 24.—On Wednesday afternoon the Mill City Cotton Mills, an enterprise owned and controlled entirely by colored people, broke ground for a new factory which will be a modern one-story structure, 140x140 feet, with an open court in the center. Heat is to be furnished by a modern hot-water heating plant. With a full equipment the plant will employ from 300 to 400 colored men and women. London, Sept. 23 - Satisfactory regulation of the French and German wireless and cable stations at Monrovia, Liberia, follows many conferences of Liberian officials with representatives of Great Britain, France and Germany in Washington and London. The Liberian government has agreed to extend equal rights to the beligereents in the use of the wireless and cables, thus maintaining Liberian neutrality. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 23. Fifty-five Negroes, natives of South Carolina, reached this city Thursday, September 17, on the American liner Haverford from London, returning from Monrovia, Liberia. They are part of a large band which went to West Afrric to form a colony, but the ravages of fever and general unpreparedness for the rigorous tasks devolving upon them made the venture a failure. Many of the party died in Africa and many more are stranded there for lack of funds to return home. The returning pilgrims are hastening back to their Southern homes Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 23. Louis Hallock, a colored life prisoner from Cuyahoga country, has been granted the Emancipation Day pardon by Governor Cox. Hallock was received at the penitentiary June 21, 1912. He was a trusty On suggestion of his counsel, Hallock had pleaded guilty to second degree murder. Executive clemency was given chiefly on the strength of information from Trial Judge Kennedy, who, in a letter to the Governor, said: "I have since learned that there is grave doubt as to his guilt. I believe, from all that I have learned, that a jury would not have convicted him, and I therefore, recommend him for mercy." Hallock probably is the most intelligent colored man in the penitentiary. Attorney J. P. Dawley and a number of other C!eveland people recommended him for pardon. Baltimore is soon to have a $100,000 colored theatre, the project being engineered by William H. Daly, a well-to-do colored citizen of Baltimore, who has successfully conducted a small house at Pennsylvania avenue and Greenwillow street for several years. The proposed new theatre will be built at 1008 Pennsylvania avenue, in the heart of the colored business section. It will seat 1,500 persons and will be modern in every way. The ground has cost the promoters $25,000 and the building $75,000. Work will be started erecting theatre at once. The property of the Pennsylvania Avenue A M. E. Zion Church, Baltimore, was recently sold and rumor has it that a white syndicate is planning to erect a theatre there in opposition to Daly's project. It is said that it is the aim of the white promoters to sell stock to colored people. No stock has been sold to date. Ossawatomie, Kan., Sept. 23. For the first time in the history of the State colored nurses are being given an opportunity to serve on the staff of the State Hospital, located here. Their services have been so satisfactory that colored nurses may be employed in other State institutions. In speaking of the colored nurses, Governor Hodges gives the following words of praise: "They have made good, the superintendent is highly pleased with their services, and I feel proud to have been able to aid a struggling people. The colored people are citizens and contribute to the tax fund and I believe that they should be given equal opportunity with others." The colored nurses are Misses Lillian Hardwick Leavenworth; Leona Hines. Lawrence; J. Franklin, Salina; Lucille Morgan and Cleo Geraldine Morgan, both of Topeka. Daily Thought Daily Thought. Prejudices are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education. They grow there firm as weeds among stones. — Charlotte Bronte. Thoroughly Base. An old forger who had served five terms in various penitentiaries, and who is now refraining from fancy penmanship in order to enjoy an uninterrupted vacation for a week or two, accords us the following epigram from the depth of his experience: "I never realized the complete baseness of my nature until one day I found myself unconsciously raising my own check!"

Every member of the association is in favor of the local option law, likewise is in favor of the strict enforcement of that law wherever it is invoked. They believe that each community should have the right to decide the license question in that community—in other words, they favor home rule. These business men of high standing are opposed to state-wide prohibition because they know that the enactment of such a law would seriously injure the business of every hamlet, town and large city in Colorado. State-Wide Prohibition Would empty thousands of store throw not less than 26,000 people o the tourist trade by fully 75 per ce less than 50 per cent; it would drive business and put Colorado in a ru and it Would Not Stop Drinking These are a few of the reason and the labor organizations are in ready in force in Colorado, and ag A VOTE FOR STATE IS A VOTE AGAIN VOTE "NO" ON STATE Would empty thousands of store buildings and factories; it would throw not less than 26,000 people out of employment; it would reduce the tourist trade by fully 75 per cent; it would increase taxes by not less than 50 per cent; it would drive capital from the state, demoralize business and put Colorado in a rut it would take years to get out of, and it Would Not Stop the Sale or the Drinking of Liquor These are a few of the reasons why the thinking business men and the labor organizations are in favor of local option laws as already in force in Colorado, and against State-Wide Prohibition. A VOTE FOR STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION IS A VOTE AGAINST LOCAL OPTION VOTE "NO" ON STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION VOTE "NO" ON STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION TEXAS FROWNS ON PROHIBITION. Texas, which has handled the liquor question by passing one of the most drastic liquor laws in the New World, has paid its respects in no uncertain tones to prohibition. In a state-wide primary, not only has the anti-prohibition candidate increased his lead to 40,000 votes over his opponent, but the proposed prohibition amendment has been beaten by 20,000 votes! The verdict confirms the judgment of the people of Texas, who at the last preceding election chose Colquitt governor for the second time, on a prolicense platform. Texas, which handles its liquor problem in a manner to attract the attention of every traveler who journeys by railroad across that state, and tries to buy a drink on the train, has a state, county and city license system. The county clerk issues the state and county license, with fees respectively for $375 and $187.50, and the city tax collectors issue city licenses for $187.50 each. The main point of the recent primary is that Texas, having gained control of this matter through intelligent regulation, does not propose to let liquor get out of bounds through "It was not the method of Jesus. He lived in an age of total abstinence societies and did not join them. He emphasized the distinction between His methods and those of John the Baptist, that John came neither eating nor drinking; the Son of Man came eating and drinking. He condemned drunkenness, but never in a single instance lifted up His voice in condemnation of drinking. On the contrary, He comenced His public ministry by making wine in considerable quantity, and of fine quality, and this apparently only to add to the joyous festivities of a wedding." Rev.

WIDE PROHIBITION LIST LOCAL OPTION TE-WIDE PROHIBITION the passage of a prohibitory law. The people of Texas thereby prove that they have gained wisdom through the mistakes of other states in that respect. There is something in this for the people of the state of Colorado to think about. They would do well next fall to follow the example of Texas by voting down state-wide prohibition, and how to the line with the present liquor law, which through its local option feature can grant prohibition to any community desiring it. DRINK AND DIVORCE. This is a popular subject for those crazed with pious imagination and suffering from incipient insanity. Figures showing drink as the cause for divorce range from 70 to 95 per cent are shouted from tabernacle, tent and pulpit, and copied by every little editor in the country. Here are the facts from the United States Census: In "wet" Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, the average number divorce cases on file per 100,000 population is 41. In "dry" Kansas and Maine, the old reliable examples of public morality? (hie), the average per 100,000 population is 113. Rev. S. Parkes Cadman, Central Con- gregational Church, Brooklyn, N. Y.: "When you enact a law intended to do more than it ought to do, it generally ends in doing less than it should do. For that reason I am opposed to prohibition by statute. I would rather see America free first and then have its citizens use its freedom for moral ends." Bishop Hall, Vermont: "Prohibition drives underground the mischief which it seeks to cure, making it more difficult to deal with the evil and impossible to regulate the trade; as for instance, in the quality of liquor sold." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In innumerable perplexing cases of community and extension work the correct understanding of the situation and the way to meet it is dependent upon the colored members of the force. The same need is often felt in the inner life of the school, and in the relations of parents to it. The homes of the colored workers, which are unpretentious, comfortable, beautiful and admirably kept, are accessible to the imitation of the surrounding community. The negroes who are ambitious for better things feel that these intimate friends of theirs came from conditions like their own, and possess habits and standards which they also can attain. These colored workers understand also how to organize for practical benefit the devoted gratitude of the community to the school. They are the mediators to their own people of the best white influence, and bring the white mebers of the faculty into helpful relations. To this influence they are continually opening their own lives, that they may convey to their people nothing less than the best things. Their attitude to the white members of the faculty was expressed recently by President Amiger, whose sister is one of Calhoun's colored teachers, in an address to the pupils and negro workers. "You can never appreciate too highly," he said, "the influence of those who bring to you the finer things galned by their inheritance of generations of culture." It was a superb thing for such a man to say, and only a superb man could say it. This word is often repeated by the colored forces. "What we value above all else," they say, "is the continual inspiration from our white leaders to richer thoughts and more efficient service and larger life." The appreciation does not end with words. An eminent friend of the school affirmed at a critical moment in its history, that he had never seen a finer and more practical devotion than was proved by the action of these colored workers. Yet this grateful recognition is not dependent imitation. The negro who has found himself is receptive but not imitative. He transforms all that he receives into his own genius, where it becomes a new contribution to civilization. Are these people exceptional? Such a school attracts and develops exceptional qualities. But some have come from the plainest cabins and from most repressive conditions. They are representatives of results generally possible to the spirit which safeguards every valuable quality of both races, and so attains their most workable cooperation.—Charles Henry Dickinson, in charge of religious and extension work. The city federation of negro women's clubs met at Quinn chapel, Chicago. There were 275 women, representing fifty-two colored women's clubs. The organization voted to join the United Charities. A committee was appointed to ask Governor Dunne to appoint Mrs. Mary Waring to the commission for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of negro freedom. Out of the 280,000 farms in Missouri approximately 3,753 are owned by negroes. They range in size from three to 260 acres, and are worth, land, buildings, live stock and everything else on them, $27,768,750, using the average value of a Missouri farm as the basis for computation. The negro population of Missouri is 157,452. 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 Rev. E. C. Morris, president of the national Baptist convention, at the session of the organization at Philadelphia. "The suffrage movement had its foundation in the fact that taxation without representation is unjust, and no class or race is better prepared by experience to sympathize with such a movement than the colored people." "The capital of our nation," he said, "is a hotbed of race hatred, and from there it will continue to spread to all sections of the country until the negro men shall be elected to congress and speak for themselves. "As Christian workers," the speaker added, "we are for peace, and we pray for the time to come when nations shall study war no more, and yet as true Americans in the face of all discriminations we stand ready to defend the flag of our country against any foreign foe." More than 5,000 delegates from nearly every state in the Union were in attendance upon the convention. Absent-minded persons are continually leaving their packages and umbrellas in the street cars, but the limit was reached the other day when the car from Warren, Me., into Thomaston was found to contain a baby which had been left behind in the rush. Experts have estimated that if the forests of the world were scientifically operated they would yield the equivalent of from 30 to 120 times the present consumption of wood annually. There has been another biennial convention of women's clubs, but this time the press has not kept the public informed as to its program, its scope or its aims. Therefore when Zona Gale and I were privileged to receive an invitation to attend this convention through our fellowship with the Frederick Douglass Center, we accepted, expecting possibly to see some good reason why this group of 400 delegates, representing 50,000 other club women, should be isolated to do their work unaided by groups of white women doing exactly the same work simply because there was some fancied racial characteristic or a difference in the complexion which keep them apart. The convention met at Wilberforce university, one of the oldest schools for colored people in the country. The school was opened in 1847 and was incorporated as a university in 1856. It is co-educational, is well equipped, has its trades building with fine auditorium in Galloway hall, where the convention met. The thirty university buildings are ideally situated three and a half miles from Xenia, among splendid oak trees We arrived with many others and were duly registered and assigned to one of the dormitories before our racial difference was discovered, and one of us might have gone through the entire session without discovery based upon physical characteristics had we not said that we were there upon invitation of the president of the association. We were then taken to the home of the president of the university, where we were cared for with generous hospitality by Professor and Mrs. Scorborough during our entire stay. The reception to the delegates in the evening was marked by nothing to distinguish it from any other well dressed, well mannered body of club women except perhaps that there was a modesty and fitness of dressing not often seen in similar assemblies. The regular session opened on Tuesday morning with Mrs. Booker T. Washington in the chair. The program included men who did not differ from men in other groups who failed to keep within the time limit of speaking and who sometimes forgot that they were not speaking to intellectual inferiors or to children. They were indulgently dealt with by the president, an indulgence which was never shown to women, for no paper was allowed to go beyond the time assigned to it. The program contained reports from nearly every state in the Union, showing an amount of charitable and welfare work hardly realized by those not in touch with the work. Such subjects as "Suffrage," "The Negro in Literature," "How May the Club Spirit Best Serve the Community Life of Which We are a Part," "The Cause of Temperance," "Health and Hygiene," "Tuberculosis," etc.—Unity. The Negro Farmer, a bi-weekly published at Tuskegee, Alabama, under the able leadership of Isaac Fisher, whom the readers of Unity first knew as principal of the Arkansas Industrial College for Colored People, lies before us with an attractive frontpiece and suggestive pages. "Book farming" is no longer the scandal of the hard worker in the fields. His sneers have been suppressed. It has been demonstrated that science is practical; machinery, labor saving; and brains, good fertilizers.—Unity. An army of colored Odd Fellows attending the seventeenth session of the Biennial Movable Committee of the order was present when the sessions opened at the People's Temple in Boston. About 5,000 visitors and delegates were on hand. At the opening session addresses were delivered by Governor Walsh, Mayor Curley, Edward H. Morris, of Chicago, grand master; James F. Needham, Philadelphia, grand secretary; E. P. Jones, grand master for Mississippi; Dr. John B. Hall and others. The Past Masters' council, the Grand Staff council and the Household of Ruth, the latter the female auxiliary, also met during the week. A smoking tree is one of the natural wonders of Ono, Japan. Strange to say, it smokes only in the evening, just after sunset, and the smoke issues from the top of the trunk. In the midst of alarms from the Balkans the fact that the city of Tirnova, the ancient capital of Bulgaria, has been nearly destroyed by an earthquake, passed almost unnoticed. For war purposes both the German and French governments are experimenting with wireless-controlled torpedo boats and the British government with one the movements of which are governed by sound waves sent through water.

PIONEERS LIVE AGAIN PIONEERS LIVE AGAIN EARLY DAY SCENES RECALLED AT REUNION. Veterans of Gold Rush and Later Period of Civil War Hold Thirty- Second Annual Meeting. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Colorado in the days before statehood, when the rush of the gold hunters was on, and of that later period in which the then newly settled territory of the West sent its quota to the battlefields of the South to fight, was lived again in the minds of twenty-five members of the Colorado Veterans' Association who met in their thirty-second annual meeting at the Charles building. Dr. Milo Slater, president of the association, opened the meeting. Included in the twenty-five were pioneers from different sections of the state. H. P. Scott, seventy-eight, who fought with McLain's battery from Colorado in the civil war, came from Davenport, Iowa, to attend the gathering. Irving W. Stanton, eighty, came from Pueblo. He crossed the plains in 1861 and enlisted in the Second Colorado cavalry. Others at the meeting were George Ayers, who came West in the gold rush of 1859; William P. Ogden, pioneer locomotive engineer; Robert S. Roe, adjutant of the Second Colorado cavalry, and William Stuart of Denver, who drove an ox team across the plains when eleven years old and subsequently made the trip six times as a freighter. Dr. Ordway and his wife and Mrs. Fannie Harden, whose husband was Lleutenant Harden, attended the meeting. Einds Wife Living With Another. Fort Collins.—J. Edwards of Colorado Springs arrived in Fort Collins in search of his wife and two children. He found them living at the home of L. P. Wilson in Mason street. Wilson recently announced that he expected his wife and children soon, and introduced Mrs. Edwards and the two children as his wife and children when they arrived. She left the Wilson home upon Edwards' arrival and went with him to a rooming house. Edwards announced that he would not prosecute the case. Racer Injured in Auto Smash. Colorado Springs.—Verner Shoup, son of Oliver H. Shoup, president of the Midwest Refining Company, was dangerously injured in an automobile accident when a racing car in which he was riding overturned at a railroad crossing ten miles east of here. Shoup sustained internal injuries. The car was going about 60 miles an hour, when it turned turtle, making one and one-half revolutions. Ernest Sommers, who was in the car with Shoup, was unhurt. Ogden Gateway Closing Held Up. Denver.—A telegram from Washington was received by the passenger department of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad saying that the Interstate Commerce Commission had ordered a suspension of traffic filed by the Ogden Short Line, the Chicago & Northwestern and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railways closing the Ogden gateway to the Denver & Rio Grande and Colorado Midland railroads Oct. 1. Ryan Guilty of First Degree Murder. Fort Collins.—William L. Ryan of Fort Collins was found guilty of first-degree murder by a jury in the District Court here, following his trial for the killing of Attorney N. W. Crose, Aug. 14, whom he claimed had swindled him. The jury was out eight hours. It recommended the death penalty. Ryan's attorneys filed a motion for a new trial. Dies From Pitchfork Wounds. Pueblo.—Alva Thomas, 15, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Thomas of Lester, near Trinidad, is dead at the Minnequa hospital from pitchfork wounds received on his father's ranch at Lester. The boy was playing in a haystack when the dinner horn was blown. A farm hand tossed his pitchfork high in the air and it fell on the boy, two prongs entering his skull. Pueblo Refugee in New York. Pueblo.—Miss Alice McNutt of Pueblo, who was in Berlin, Germany, at the outbreak of the war, has arrived in New York City, after having experienced difficulty in obtaining passage to this country. Word from the young woman was received here by her mother, Mrs. C. C. McNutt. Rancher Convicted of Slaving. Rancher Convicts of Shayne.

Denver, Colorado WELBORN TELLS OF CONFERENCE SAYS PRESIDENT NOW PREFERS OWN PROPOSAL TO SUGGESTIONS OF OPERATORS. PRESENTS NEW PHASES DECLARES PLACING OF STRIKERS ALONGSIDE FAITHFUL EMPLOYES WOULD REDUCE OUTPUT Denver.—J. F. Welborn, president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, returned to Denver from Washington, where he went to confer with President Wilson concerning the President's proposed truce in the Colorado coal strike. Welborn made the following statement: "The President received me courteously and manifested an interest in what I had to say about the strike as well as general conditions connected with the coal industry in Colorado. He said that much that I told him was new and he offered no criticism on our conduct of the strike, yet stated that at this time he preferred to consider the proposal presented by him rather than anything that the coal operators might have to offer. "There are many insuperable conditions in the truce proposal which appeal to fair-minded men when made clear. The requirement that the operators re-employ 'all striking miners who have not been found guilty of violation of the law', when to do so would make necessary the discharge of some faithful employés, would involve placing at work alongside those who have been loyal and peaceably inclined others who have repeatedly threatened and abused them. At practically every camp our employés are protesting in large numbers against the re-employment of strikers, except such as are known not to have participated in abuse or violence. The frequency and character of these protests convince us that the acceptance and carrying out of the proposal in good faith would cause more men to leave our service than could be employed from among those on strike, and the result therefore would be a reduction rather than an increase in coal output." CONGRESS PLANS RECESS. Ship Purchase Bill to Go Over Until After Fall Elections. Washington—President Wilson has approved a legislative program for Congress which includes postponement of consideration of the ship purchase bill until Nov. 15, following the fall elections. The plan as outlined by officials includes recess by the House within the next few days until Nov. 15. The Senate is to finish consideration of the Clayton trust bill and the war revenue bill, and then also recess. Information reaching the White House is that there will be no filibuster against the war revenue bill in the Senate. The President plans to go to the summer White House at Cornish, N. H., for about a week's stay as soon as the legislative situation permits. Judge Van Cise Dies Suddenly.

Tonopah, Nev.-The office of the Bonanza, an afternoon newspaper, was damaged by the explosion of three sticks of dynamite under the corner of the room occupied by the job printing plant. A corner of the building was torn off, a garage adjoining was wrecked and windows a block away were broken by the concussion. The damage to the job plant was slight. The newspaper plant is located in an adjoining building and this was not hurt. The Bonanza has a cylinder press in its job plant plainly visible from the street. It was near this press that the explosion occurred. There has been friction between the members of the Western Federation of Miners and red flag followers in Tonopah and Goldfield lately, and the Bonanza has taken an active part in the controversy, favoring the Federation miners. RED CROSS ASKS HELP. Asks Churches to Take Up Collection on Peace Prayer Day. Washington.—This appeal to the churches of the United States was issued by the executive committee of the American Red Cross; "Our President has by proclamation designated Sunday, October 4, as a day of prayer for peace. It has been suggested in many quarters that on this Sunday'a collection be taken up in every church to relieve suffering in the war-ravaged countries of Europe. The Red Cross, which is charged with the special duty of aiding the sick and wounded in time of war, respectfully urges that opportunity be given in each church to every person who so desires to make a contribution to be given to the American Red Cross, which is impartially aiding every country in a spirit of common humanity, and which recognizes no distinction of race or nationality. However, every contributor who desires to designate any particular fund or country to which his or her contribution shall be applied, may do so, and such request will be respected." Wyoming Convicts Escape.

Another opportunity is afforded the patrons of the Daniel and Fisher's Stores Co., Denver Dry Goods Co., Joslin's and The May Co. to select their fall goods before the rush comes on. These firms so long established in this city and state have always made a specialty of catering to their internal as well as external trade, and with the promptness of delivery and quality of their goods, are sure to increase their prestige on their customers. The Statesman heartily indorses trading with these old and reliable firms which are the essence of satisfaction. PRESENT DAY POLITICS The filing of the nominations of the Socialist party for state offices brings before us four parties for our election on November 3—the Republican, Democratic, Socialist and Progressive—and the average voter faces the problem of what party must be supported, with the hope of getting the best results. In addressing ourselves to the colored voters we are compelled to remind them of their action not so long ago when a wave passed over the country for a change, and which change affected us in this state by the loss of the few offices that were held by Republicans. This action (the division of their votes between the Democratic and Progressive parties) was due as they felt to the failure of the Republican party to keep its promises and to live up to the platform of Lincoln and others who had established such sound basic principles for good government. At the time when this anxiety for a change was uppermost in their minds we warned our people that if even any wrongs were being perpetrated by the Republican element we should stay with the party and set them right by weeding out every leader, agent, etc., whose purpose was detrimental, and again give us the privilege of breathing freely a pure political atmosphere in our ranks in preference to uniting their forces with the Democratic party which has given us ample proof of political serfdom in their treatment of our people in the Southland, or the Progressives who were playing fast and loose—half Democrat and half Republican. The thought of offering punishment or making the Republican leaders undergo just retribution for what some termed their wrongs did not work successfully, or carry out anything savoring of betterment to us, as from the gross ill-treatment meted out to the colored population of the Union as well as the general dissatisfaction prevailing throughout the country, it is clearly seen that it is unsafe and unwise to entrust our destiny into the hands of the Democratic party while they are subjected to the influence of the Southern leaders. This lesson ought never to be forgotten by us as there is hardly anything to be gained in our supporting the Progressive party and much less in the Democratic, therefore, the opportunity presents itself to throw all our strength to the Republican party on the assurance of a better and thorough recognition of the colored vote as the same is steadily increasing in number and power, which will necessarily be a proof to our Democratic heads that we do not intend to be sufferers any longer by remaining under their banner or supporting their politics in any form. There is only one way to overcome this and that is by voting the straight Republican ticket thereby filling our senate, legislature and all public offices which would prevent the enacting of any laws that would discriminate against us and remove the landmarks by which we journeyed. LAST DAYS OF REGISTRATION. October 8 and 15, which dates fall on Thursday, are the last days for registration, and if we are impressed with the importance of the coming election November 3 every man and woman permitted to exercise the franchise should be satisfied that they have registered, as this is the only way we will be able to check this present administration which seems to be driving us farther away from the goal of prosperity. Every indication points to the greatest registration ever recorded in Colorado, and with prizes offered by the Republican party for the committee man or woman registering the highest number of voters from their district this should help to make an exceptional record. We think the present order of legislation in our United States congress has done much towards our detriment, as from the passing of laws which have removed our laboring class from the channel of progress, increased our army of unemployed, thrown down the walls of protection to our manufactures and industries, catered to the high cost of living, there is no more important act for us to engage in than evincing every interest from now on into the political state of affairs of our country. To set the state on a firm, fair, honest, true and impartial foundation is to help in remedying the ills of congress by placing men in position whom we know will not allow themselves to be dominated by a section of the house, but work in co-operation with every suggestion that tends to the improvement of the Nation. Ever since the coming into power of the present administration we have noticed the struggle to keep some of the principles fostered and encouraged by their predecessor by which we climbed the ladder of success, and now that they are in the majority their chief aim or desire is to plunge this country into the pale of retrogression and the gloom of desperation by introducing measures in the houses and reforms in the land that are not only impracticable but menacing and disastrous to the welfare of any people. Lose not this privilege and only opportunity of registering, therefore, so that you can conscientiously say you have participated in the securing of men who have declared for a better, brighter and prosperous U. S. A. which will think first for its citizens and their advantages by suppling their needs and then assisting the world at large afterwards, instead of adhering to the present policy of "charity begins abroad." Remember, it is up to you to stop this condition of things by registering and then voting for candidates who will serve our country's interests which is ours. Registration October 8 and 15—7 a. m. to 9 p. m. Salutation of Good Afternoon or Evening By Montgomery Wright, Washington D. C. for this form of salutation after noon. In Hamlet, Act I, Horatio proposes to Marcellus to tell Hamlet they have seen the ghost. Marcellus assents and says: "I this morning know where we shall find him." Later in the day they meet Hamlet and he greets them by name, but to Bernardo, who is with them and apparently not known to him, Hamlet simply adds: "Good even, sir." In a note by Hudson, the editor of the edition quoted, it is stated: "Good even' was the common salutation after noon." And there is Biblical authority for this form of salutation. According to Genesis 4:4, 5 God divided the light from the darkness, and called the light day and the darkness night, and Genesis declares that the morning and the evening were the first day. And when the darkness came on it was what we still call "night." Moore, in his "Canadian Boat Song," recognized the close of evening as the daylight disappeared. Some flowers close their leaves with the close of day, and Milton calls the close of day, "At shut of evening flowers." Those of us who say, "Good evening" in the afternoon recognize twilight as a part of the evening. Fitz-Greene Halleck thought: "There is an evening twilight of the heart." All the poets recognize evening as a part of the day. In the division of day there is no authority for fixing the hour of noon. Hamlet said it very soon after noon, but he had a midday dinner, as many country folk do now. But where dinner comes later than exact noon it is the custom to say "Good evening" after about two o'clock. Many of the persons who criticise the use of "evening" for "afternoon" have the absurd custom of saying "Good morning" until after sun-down. There is no authority for that, and the custom of saying "Good afternoon," now coming back to sensible people, is far preferable. Indeed, to prevent confusion it is probably preferable to "Good evening" for the afternoon. Motive of Every Act is Criticised By ALLEN STEVEN, Chicago Why is it that we have so many who are always ready to question and criticise most every act a good-hearted person may perform? Every one of us can look back and remember having Motive of Every Act is Criticised By ALLEN STEVEN, Chicago Why is it that we have so many who are always ready to question and criticise most every act a good-hearted person may perform? Every one of us can look back and remember having done somebody a good turn, or, at least, tried to make some one else happy, and with the purest motives, but afterward we hear mumbling and comments of acquaintances who say: "How much money did you get out of it?" or, "There is a graft in it for you somewhere," or "What is your game?" Instead of putting a premium on virtue these pessimists send out a slurring comment tending to discourage the good that is in us. Three years ago I was walking along the North side and for a mile or so I noticed a little girl about six years of age keeping step by my side. Becoming curious, I said, "Little girl, where are you going?" She replied, "It's doin' wif you." She was lost. I turned her over to a policeman, who hunted up her parents. When telling of the incident among acquaintances the question that chiefly interested them was how much reward I had received. That is disgusting! This seems to be an age when the motive of every act is criticised no matter how much we are possessed by the higher spirit of nobleness. I have found seven purses in the last eight or nine years, but, as luck would have it, I have found the owners and delivered their property to them. But, again, these critical, withered souls asked, "What was your reward?" I told them the reward of conscience was sweet enough, but that seemed to be beyond the scope of their thought. There is no use in hesitating. One should do good acts when one is able and pay no attention to the gods of money, the money changers who try to enter the temple of every one's conscience. The promulgators of artificial "universal languages"—languages of origin and destiny always more or less obscure—seem able to bag almost any amount of free advertising for their specu- International Language in Active Operation By JACOB BACKES, Philadelphia, Pa. The promulgators of artificial "universal languages"—languages of origin and destiny always more or less obscure—seem able to bag almost any amount of free advertising for their specu-lative enterprises, and editors, evidently under the impression that some good is being done or some generous sentiment fostered, use as column fillers the press notices sent out from the promotive headquarters. It must be evident to anyone that there is already in active operation an international language whose growth to preponderance has been mainly American growth, whose present position and vitality are mainly American. In this language at least five-eighths of the world's printing and writing are now being done, although if Americans ceased their use of the language it would sink to fourth or fifth place among the languages spoken by the civilized world. The medium of expression referred to is, of course, the American language. Possibly Germans, Frenchmen, Italians, Spaniards and others regard complacently the attempted undermining of their national languages by the Esperantists and others, but as for the American language, the international assistant at every world's congress and on the vessels of every ocean, it will never be crowded out of its assured position by Volapuk, Esperhodgepodge, Sunriso, Ido, Dido, Nonesucho, Magnablufo, Jimdandio or any other linguistic artificiality, by whomsoever concocted or in what-ever guise appearing. The Scottish Sabbath is a proverb, indeed, but from two very opposite poles. Testimony of Value of Scotch Sabbath By Rev. Dr. Alexander Whyte, Edinburgh of Scotch Sabbath By Rev. Dr. Alexander Whyte, Edinburgh On the one hand the Scottish Sabbath is a proverb of the sanctity and the sweetness and the spiritual fruitfulness of the Lord's day. Whereas, on the other hand, it is to some other people a proverb of all that is gloomy and burdensome and wearisome, and what not. Which of these two extremes speaks God's truth about this holy ordinance of his will be best decided by every man's own experience. I have had a long lifetime's experience of, on the whole, a somewhat scrupulously kept Lord's day. And that day, so kept, has been to me one of my chief blessings. I can testify, and with the most entire integrity, that from my childhood down to this hour I have greatly loved and greatly valued the seclusion and the silence and the rest and especially the reading proper to the Lord's day. And at the end of a long life I look back and bless God for those who brought me up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord's day.

Sworn to and subscribed before me, this 1st day of October 14, LULU O. TROUTE, Notary Public. (My Commission expires July 22, 1916.) --- Halsted L. Ritter Candidate For Commissionor of Safety. M. B. Halsted L. Ritter was assistant city attorney during 1900 to 1903. His record for winning suits for 'the city has not been equalled since. He became thoroughly familiar with the city affairs and has been a student ever since of city government and has been influential in moulding every charter adopted since 1900. He has been in the public eye for years as an advocate of clean politics and a higher citizenship. He has consented to run for commissioner of safety only after repeated urging by many people who are determined to make Denver a clean city by having the laws enforced equally on everybody. Mr. Ritter believes that city government should be non-partisan and that a commissioner of safety has no discretion to decide what laws he will and what he will not enforce because he is elected to serve the people in doing what they have declared shall be done in ordinances and statutes. If he is elected on October 16th next he proposes to have a police and fire department freed from politics and "chair warmers." Every policeman and fireman shall be trained for and used only in the public service and shall be always on the job. He will have a steady plan of operation. Not lid on today and off tomorrow; a modern business system of accounting for every dollar spent; economy consistent with efficiency. Mr. Ritter is a fighter for the right and he can't be fooled or scared away from his principles. Brickler's New Barber Shop is located at 2208 Larimer street. Shave, 10. Hair cut, 25c; children, 15c.

Mothers and maidens, believe me, the whole course and character of your lovers' lives is in your hands; what you would have them be they shall be, if you not only desire to have them so, but deserve to have them so; for they are but mirrors in which you will see yourselves imaged. If you are frivolous, they will be so also; if you have no understanding of the scope of their duty, they also will forget it; they will listen—they can listen—to no other interpretation of it than that uttered from your lips. —Ruskin.

Germans Declare Their Heavy Guns Have Reduced Defenses of Impor- tant French Base Near Al- sace-Lorraine. Ria ee The allies claim substantial gains against the army of Gen. Von Kluck in northwestern France, and the Germans admit agit advances by the French. British forces, but assert the movement is not decisive. This is the latest development, accord- ing to the most reliable sources, of the general engagement known as the battle of the Aisne River, proveadineson al line teamnheinis westward to Compiegne, on_ the Oise river, and northward from that point to the Belgian border.

The French and British war offices are silent. on war develop- ments at this point. Hand to Hand Fighting. Both Berlin and Paris and London expect decisive results from the bat- Ue of the Aisne, which has been rag- ing since September 12, within the next few days. The opposing armies were worn out after the first ten days of fighting, and the battle became practically an artillery duel until about the fifteenth day of the en- gagement when heavy re-enforce- ments were received by both Ger- mans and allies, Infantry and cavalry action became much sharper almost at once, and numerous hand- tohand bayonet fighting was re- ported. There have been no denials from German soufces that the allies had pushed back the entrenched and em- battled German infantry and artillery about fifteen miles in northwest France up to September 26. ‘They are said to have gained about five miles more the two succeeding days. Slavs and Serbs Winning.

They are reported to have been land- ed at Ostend and Boulogne and to be supported by a new French army sent north from the mobilization cen- ter in the south. It is this army upon which the allies are now believed to be depending to complete the isola- tion of the German right and to en- velop the armies of Von Kluck and Von Boehm.

They took better care of our own wounded than they did of their own. We found the British wounded on cots, on great piles of soft goods, and their wounds carefully bandaged.

GERMAN LINE IS DRIVEN OVER BELGIAN BORDER BY FIERCE PLUNGES OF BRITISHERS, RUSSIAN ARMY SWEEPS AUSTRI- AN TROOPS FROM GALICIA AND MARCH ACROSS SILESIA, . ‘Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, October 1.—After nearly three weeks of continuous fighting, the battle of the Aisne river finds the al- lied armies, pushing with all the strength they can bring to bear in their great effort to outflank the Ger- man right wing and force it back from its lines of communication through Belgium. There is evidence that this movement {s beginning to tell, and that unless something unforeseen happens, this portion of the German army must fall back throug the Belgian proy- inces {t conquered a month ago. ‘The French official report says the action continues to develop to the northward; so that the French left must now be pushing past Cambrai, as Tuesday it was in the neighborhood of Albert. ven further north than this the French cavalry is operating, and last week @ German force which was sent to Orehiers, sixteen miles southeast of Lille, to punish Frane-tireurs for an al- leged attack on a German hospital at that place, met with superior forces and had to fall back. v ‘The Germans, too, admit that they have been unable to arrest the French adyance against their right, and also that the allies have advanced on their right front. Indeed, there seems to be some agreement in the official re- ports of the belligerents on the events in this part of the battlefield, ‘The German reports refer to an ad- vance of the allies, while the French communication says tht a vigorous at tack made by the Gerraans on Trtcy-le- Mont, northwest of tre forest of Aigne, was repulsed with heavy losses. Of course these reports may refer to dif- ferent incidents, but they, neverthe- less, agree that the advantage is with the allies. In the center, from Rheims to the Meuse, the armies appear still to be waiting for the outcome of the fight ing on the wings, as there has been a lull in the battle there. Between the Argonne and the Meuse and again in Woevre there has been more severe fighting, ‘The French claim to have made Progress and to have advanced at sev- eral points, especially to the east of St. Mibfel. Although the French staff 1s very sparing with {ts information, It is evi dent that the forces which advanced from ‘Toul to oppose the Germans who crossed the Meuse near St. Mibiel, have succeeded in getting behind the small contingent of invaders who had successfully carried out an attempt to bend the French line at this point.

Petrograd.—The Russian armies con- tinue to sweep through Galicia, and, according to a report from Rome, that province of the Austrian Empire ts clear of Austrian troops. What is meant is that the field armies of Aus- tria have either gone into the fort- resses of Przemysl or Cracow, or re- treated to the south and west. The Russians have come across the coun- try in great parallel lines and, mask- ing Przemysl, have swept the country clear as far as a line drawn from Dou- klo in the south to the neighborhood of Rzeszow in the north, while other forces have pushed their way through the passes of the Carpathian moun- tains, into Hungary. ‘They have only to go a little further to get possession of the railway that runs through the mountains to Lublau, and thence through the heart of the country to Budapest. If they accom- plish this they will be able to join hands with the army which is ap proaching Cracow. According to Petrograd correspond- dents, the {invaders intend to treat Cracow as they did Przemsyl, and con- tinue their devastating march Into St- Jesia. In the meantime they have for a week been fighting the Germans all along the river Nieman, between Kov- no and Grodno, and thus far have held them in check, while reinforcements have been reaching them. ‘The battle is described as being a furious one, but no-details have been allowed to be made public. The Ger man object in sending a strong force in this direction {s to attempt to cut the railway line from Warsaw through Vilna and Grodno to Petrograd. ‘The fighting along the east Prus- sian frontier, in which the Russians have been extending their front 150 yersts (96 miles) has resulted in the repulse of all the Germans’ attempts to force the river Niemen, Austrian Mines Terrorize Italy.

Less extreme and more popular are those from nine to twelve inches wide, which are ad- Justed loosely about the waist. Two girdles of this kind, which merit attention because they show new features in their construction, are shown here. One of them is made of moire ribbon not- more than three Inches wide, It is in golden-brown coler shading from light to dark. Lengths of this moire ribbon are sewed together by hahd in the very tintest of seams. In this way ribbon toe narrow for the present styles can be used to make wide girdles, | Using the same idea, silk ribbons of other kinds are widened by machine jstltehing them to velvet, ribbons. A very attractive girdle is made by black velvet ribbon on both edges of a colored satin ribbon or one of brocade. ous part of the garment. Instead of the plain, white satin thera are rick and brilliant brocades, or broad and pronounced stripes, or a great variety of plaids of all descriptions froin which a choice of linings may be made. For general utility the white lining will serve best. ‘There 1s plenty of room in this cape to draw it up over the arms if one wishes the hands free, and even so the fronts will hang fairly straight and the cape have the appearance of a loose garment with flowing sleeves. Few capes this season are capes pure and simple, but of capelike garments there are many. This model may be recommended for anyone who aspires to the really magnificent black velvet or velvet in colors for evening wear. ‘The style is suited to rich fabries and dress occasions, and it is unsuited to ordinary cloths or to bulky woolen fabrics. One may not hope to find anything more graceful than the cape, for eve- ning wear, and the individual wearer ean improvise her own special style in managing the cape and “thereby achieve distinction. Lengths of silk may be bordered in the same way. By this means short lengths of ribbon or silk which one may have on hand are easily trans- formed into girdles. It seems the smart woman can hardly own too many of these elegant accessories, ‘The striped girdie shown in the pic- ture is made of satin ribbon striped with velvet. It will be noticed that no bows and loops are used in these particular styles, although there are plenty of them to be found. These girdles are decorated with covered but- tons or buckles made of the ribbon and are fastoned with snap fasteners, Almost ‘ithout exception the fash. fonable girdies are boned to hold them in place. Even when a long sash is wrapped about the waist and tied in the back the girdie portion is boned at the front and sides, JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
