Register! Last Chance! Precinct Registration Thursday October 15th THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY HOW TO STRENGTHEN THE ARMY VOL. XX1. HOW TO STRENGTH THE (From New York Age) To the Editor of The Age: Knowing the interest you take in anything affecting the welfare of our race I desire to make a proposition which I hope may meet with your approval. Owing to the fierceness of the war which is now being fought in Europe, the large number of men engaged, the stupendous scale on which its operations are being carried out, as well as the audacity of Germany in flouting the whole civilized world by violating the neutrality of peaceful Belgium, I have not the least doubt that the militarists of the United States will, long before its close, begin to pour upon Congress plans for the reorganization and increase in our military establishment. Neither have I any doubt that the Congress will become susceptible and that some scheme evolved by the general staff out of these recommendations will be accepted whereby the regular army will be enlarged and a more substantial reserve force than our present militia be organized. In fact one has only to read the current issues of the military publications to see that the militarists are already getting themselves in shape for an effective and (if necessary) protracted seige against Congress to that end. Knowing your sentiments as regards war, as often expressed in the columns of the Age, I would say right here that I am not one of those calamity howlers who believe that we are in imminent danger of invasion by some foreign power, but long service has convinced me of the weakness of our army as a fighting force due to the looseness of our military system, our lack of concert in training, our contempt of authority, and many other causes; and I am confident that for all our boasting, our army, if pleased against an equal number of troops of the mettle of those who have been doing the bulk of fighting in Europe during the present month, or that fought in the Balkan war would suffer inglorious defeat. Neither am I a militarist. I believe in universal peace, but I believe that so long as it is necessary to have jails and penitentiaries to restrain the bad so long will their be wars. In other words, you can't reform the nations before you reform the people of those nations. ```markdown ``` --- If all the nations should agree to disarm, when the disarmament was completed they would simply go ahead and arm again. You may persuade nations to disarm but you can't prevent men from inventing destructive implements of war. And when the nations have reduced their armaments by agreement each nation will gladly purchase from its respective citizens any new inventions which may be reputed to have the power to kill the most men in battle, and in this way go right ahead again trying to get ahead of its neighbor in the number of such implements possessed. In any war in which the United States may be engaged, as in the past, the Negro will be anxious to share his burden in it. If if should be directed against some weak power like Spain or Mexico, where we are sure of the result even before the declaration of hostilities, there will be those who will make light of the Negro's desire to serve his country, and there may come again those who will be lectured for "their feverish desire to get into the war;" but should the clash be with some such power as Germany, France or England (especially England via Canada) our services will be only too gladly accepted. In such an event what could be our prospects? Although we now have four good regiments of colored regulars with all officers white except three, which white officers are accepted by the men as a matter of course, few self respecting Negroes in this day would care to go to war in volunteer regiments officered by white men. In short, we would feel called upon as a matter of self-respect to demand Negro officers. The war department would very properly ask where are they to come from? The whole thing would hinge on that one question. We well know that our high schools and colleges are annually turning out numbers of young men, who, for the ordinary walks of life in civil pursuits, are well educated; but in these days the art of war by civilized nations is reduced to a science, as may be gathered by reading the reports of the scientific methods used by either side (especially the Germans, the greatest scientists on earth) in gaining an advantage over the oth- DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. OCTOBER 10 1914 State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ! Precinct R ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO er. There are some dozen schools in the army for the training of officers, at not one of which has a Negro officer ever attended, besides numerous state military schools all over the country for the military training of the youth, many of whom enter the army every year as officers from civil life. It is safe to assert that the number of colored boys is one-tenth of one per cent. of the whole number receiving such instruction. In certain of the army schools for officers provision is made for the attendance of militia officers in order that the militia may receive as much of the regular army leaven as possible. Also a large number of officers of the regular army and a very large number of non-commissioned officers are constantly on duty with the millitia regiments of the several states as instructors. There being practically no militia officers to attend these schools none attend. There being practically no militia (colored) one sergeant possibly two, are on duty with colored militia, out of a total of one hundred and fifty or one hundred and sixty so detailed. You may get fairly good line officers by appointing trusted old sergeants to the commissioned grades, but they will not do for the scientific duties. They must have the education as a basis if there is to be success along all lines. With the improved modern war implements and the scientific methods now used to send untrained men against trained armies would be folly, to send them under untrained officers would be madness. NEGRO SOLDIER To be continued next issue. PIGS AND EDUCATION AND PIGS AND DEBT.. To the Editor, The Colorado Statesman: Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.—Our race is in constant search of means with which to provide better homes, schools, colleges and churches, and with which to pay debts. This is especially true during the hard financial conditions obtaining on account of the European war. All of this cannot be done at once, but great progress can be made by a good strong pull together, in a simple, direct manner. How? There are 1,400,000 colored families who live on farms or in villages or small towns. Of this number, at the present time, 700,000 have no pigs. I want to ask that each family raise at least one pi githis fall. Where one or more pigs are already owned, I want to ask that each family raise one additional pig this fall. As soon as possible, I want to ask that this plan be followed by the organization of a pig club in every community where one does not already exist. I want to ask that the matter be taken up at once through families, schools, churches and societies, farmers' institutes, business leagues, etc. The average pig is valued at about $5.00. If each family adds only one pig, in a few months, at the present prices for hogs, $10.00 would be added to the wealth of the owner, and $14,000,000 to the wealth of the colored people. If each family adds two pigs, it would have in a few months $20.00 more wealth, and $28,000,000 would be added with which to promote the welfare of the race during the money stringency created by the European war. Let us not put it off, but organize pig clubs everywhere. Give each boy and girl an opportunity to own and grow at least one pig. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., October 3, 1914. DO NOT COPY WHITES TOO CLOSELY We fear that most of our so-called advanced movement is too mechanical. We ape whites without adapting the principles of our needs. We imagine when we can say words, get catch phrases we have the real thing. But results tell. The method is justified only by results. What does the Jews do? The public schools do not give the history of his race, so he goes to a supplementary school to study Jewish history, to get Jewish ideals, so as to be able to help his people. The Negro boy is too often ashamed of himself. Too often he hangs his head. Why? Because he does not know that his people have been great and are now great; and are destined to even greater things. The school does not teach him. The Negro Sunday-school teacher must. If we called ourselves expert in Sunday-school matters—if we were heralds of an "advanced movement," if we considered ourselves in the leadership for better Sunday-schools; for grading to adapt the Sunday-School to the child's needs and development, we would not slavishly follow the lines laid down by whites to develop the moral and racial consciousness of white children; we would study the Negro child and give a series of Sunday School courses directly for the Negro child. It is work of the church to develop racial self-respect and that can be done by the Sunday-school teachers as supplementary to their regular Bible work.—Christian Recorder. Really Time Lil Spent. Each man's mind is an unknown land to himself, so that we need not be at such pains to frame a mechanism of adventure for getting to undiscovered countries.—Samuel Butler. Lost Time Made Good Lost Time Made Good. During the courtship a girl is often unable to explain her thoughts, but she makes up for lost time after marriage. St. Louis the Fur Center.

Hackley the noted prima donna, lecturer and teacher, has personally instructed, through her recital demonstrations at various schools and in public places, nearly 70,000 persons. She has kept a careful memorandum of the number instructed in each of the many cities visited by her. Her itinerary embraced over sixty important centers, and in every place she met with gratifying success. Mme. Hackley is a grand woman and is doing a work that no one else seems willing to undertake. She is being more and more appreciated as the sincerity and high purpose behind her efforts are becoming better understood by the people she aims to serve. She merits and should receive the heartiest encouragement at the hands of every man, woman and child of the race in America. Asheville, N. C., Sept. 30.—A verdict of not guilty was handed down in the Superior Court here on Tuesday in the case of Bishop C. R. Harris of the A. M. E. Zion Church, W. J. Trent, secretary of the Y M. C. A. of Atlanta, Ga., Dr Walker and the trustees of the Zion Church, who were on trial charged with arson because of the burning of the local church two years ago. The case was called Monday morning and it was soon evident that there was not the least crintilla of proof by which Bishop Harris and his co-defendants could be charged with complicity in the matter of the church burning. The charge against them was fathered by W. J. Holland and another who were expelled from the connection and from the ministry for violations of the church law. Bishop Harris, Prof. Trent, Dr. Walker and the others are being flooded with congratulatory messages at their acquittal. Ithaca, N. Y., Sept. 30.—For the third time in the history of Cornell University an attempt is being made to segregate a student because of race prejudice. The victim of the latest attempt is Miss Adelaide Cook of Washington, D. C., whose father was the late Prof. Charles C Cook of Howard University. Miss Cook, on entering this year, secured quarters in Sage College, the dormitory for women students. A few days after occupying her room five girls filed a petition with President Schurman, objecting to her presence in the dormitory. In the dining room she was ushered into a dining room apart from the other students. Miss Cook's mother is in Ithaca and the two women went to see President Schurman. The president advised yielding to the sentiment expressed by the southern girls and offered to reserve for Miss Cook separate bath and room. Mrs. Cook declares she will remain in Ithaca and fight to a finish this plain attempt at segregation which is diametically opposed to the cardinal principles of the founder of the school, Ezra Cornell, who said. "I would found an institution where anyone would receive instruction on any subject." About four years ago two young women, Miss Pauline Ray and Miss Rosa Varrar, were refused admittance to the girls' dormitory because of their color, and it was only after a strenuous fight that they were permitted to enter. Last year the authorities attempted to segregate the Negro students in the boys' dormitory, quit the issue was met with unrelenting aggressiveness and the effort was finally abandoned. VANCOUVER B. C., NOTES. Mrs. Mattle Hubbard, the well known caterer of Vancouver, has charge of the restaurant in the Ocidental club. She will sure make a success with her home cooking meals and short orders at all hours. The club management contemplates a pool tournament in the near future, which will inaugurate the winters entertainments. Mr. J. I. W. Fisher of Los Angeles was a pleasant caller at the club for several days this week, and paid the management the compliment of having the best equipped and managed organization of its kind, which had come under his observation on the coast. Mrs. Thomas Parks of St. Paul, Mr. M. Boone, R. D. Clark, Mr. F. C. Millford, Mr. C. A. Jackson made things quite lively, they are all from Toronto, Canada. Mr. Andrew Jackson from St. Paul, Mr. George Fuller of Vancouver, were visitors at the club last week. Mrs. Oliver and Mrs. Martin of 621 Davie street, entertained the Dara Dean Company with quite an elaborate luncheon while in the city. They are on the Lowes circuit. They expressed themselves as being well treated in Vancouver. Mr. and Mrs. De Neal left Saturday night for Seattle, where she will open a hair dressing establishment. She will be missed in Vancouver. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, while out on their motorcycle, ran over a dog. In trying to avoid the accident they ran into the curbing, throwing both to the ground. Mrs. Jackson received a severe scalp wound, which necessitated the taking of several stitches. Both are under the care of a physician and are doing nicely.

In the state election held September 14, 1914, Maine voted by an overwhelming majority against State-wide Prohibition and in favor of Local Option. This means that at the earliest moment the Prohibition question will be resubmitted to the voters, and a law like that in force in Colorado will be enacted in Maine as representing the views of its people. One of the most fearless fighters for Local Option in the late campaign was United States Senator Charles F. Johnson, able statesman and advanced thinker. Speaking of the deplorable results of Prohibition in his home State, Senator Johnson said: "Why has this condition continued in the State of Maine for so long a period? It is not difficult to ascertain. It lies in the failure of public sentiment to support the law in our larger communities. And who makes this public sentiment? I should be loath to ascribe its creation and its continuance as some do, to the lowest classes in our cities and larger towns, and it would be a most serious accusation to be brought against them that the intelligent citizens do not and cannot control. "The truth is that the majority do not now, and never have, wanted real enforcement. The time has arrived, I believe, when the citizens of this state should look conditions fairly, squarely and honestly in the face and attempt real, wholesome, sensible temperance legislation, not for the purpose of satisfying anybody's ideals, but for the purpose of regulating and restricting the sale of intoxicating liquors, bearing in mind that the people on whom they are to operate and for whose benefit they are enacted are no better and no worse than the citizens of other states." 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 HIS OWN FREE AGENT. Clarence Darrow. If I am born free, or become free by act of law, and if I am of age and able to look after my own business and haven't any guardian and can buy a horse or sell a farm, then I ought to be able to order my dinner at the hotel and say what I want to eat and what I want to drink. . . . . It isn't for me to prove my right to do it. The fact that I live and breathe in a country consecrated to individual liberty is enough. I have the right to do it because I am a man, and a man who lives under a government where people are supposed to be rulers of themselves, instead of their fellow men. And that is all there is to it. If a man tells me, "You can't drink beer," then it is up to that man to give the clearest and most explicit reason why my liberty should be curtailed. It isn't for me to prove my right to drink beer any more than my right to breathe air or drink water.—From the greatest organized labor attorney in the United States. "Prohibition has been disastrous to the cause of temperance."—Bishop Clark, Rhode Island. EMINENT DIVINES CONDEMN PROHIBITION. Cardinal Gibbons: "The establishment of prohibition would be impracticable and would put a premium on the sale of intoxicating drinks. "When a law is flagrantly and habitually violated it brings legislation into contempt. It creates a spirit of deception and hypocrisy, and compels men to do insidiously and by stealth what they would otherwise do openly and above board. You cannot legislate men by civil action into the performance of good and righteous deeds." A TALE OF FOUR CITIES. (With Apologies to Dickens) (Apologies to Dicecus). Cambridge, Mass., Portland, Me. Kansas City, Kan., and Chelsea, Mass. four dry cities having a total population of 212,000 in 1899, reported drunkenness and crime as follows: Arrests for drunkenness, 3,157; total crimes, 9,639. Portland, Ore., Elizabeth, N. J., Elmira, N. Y., and Rockford, Ill., four wet cities with a total of 217,000 population and 692 saloons in 1899, reported: Arrests for drunkenness, 2,591; total crimes, 6,580. Same year, the four dry cities had 230 public paupers, while the four wet cities reported 55. Suicides in the four dry cities was 0.521 per 1,000 against 0.354 per 1,000 in the wet cities—See Bulletin No. 24, Department of Labor, 1899. Rev. Dr. Blanchard, Portland, Me.: "My eyes were open to the great evils of prohibition in a very few years. The clubs organized by young men, the selling of vile decoctions by women and children, the hypocrisy and corruption arrested my attention." Rt. Rev, P. J. Donohue, Roman Catholics. Bishop, Wikimedia, W. K. olic Bishop, Wheeling, W. Va.: "While I recognize the evils of the liquor traffic, I am nevertheless driven to the conviction that prohibition will be a failure in the attempt to copa with such evils. In many states it is already a failure, the net results of such legislation being to multiply illicit bars, and at the same time to deprive the commonwealth of the revenue accruing from license." Bishop Bashford, Peking, China. "If I had the power to thrust, prohibition on a community I would not do it unless the community wished it."

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Hampton institute is an industrial village with some 1,200 or 1,300 students, 200 teachers and workers, 140 buildings, and an instruction farm of some 600 acres. Whatever work the Hampton school needs to have done, the students are usually prepared to do. Farming, home-making, teaching and the common industries form vital parts in the training of Hampton institute boys and girls. Blacksmithing, bricklaying and plastering, carpentry and cabinetmaking, machine work, painting, printing, shoemaking, steam-fitting, plumbing, tailoring, tinsmithing, upholstering and wheelwrighting, are the trades which are offered by the Hampton Institute Trade school. Products tell a striking story of the aims and methods of the Hampton courses. These products are expressed in negro and Indian mechanics who have gone out among their people and are now serving their communities as Christian and efficient builders for example. They are also expressed in well-built, attractive Hampton buildings and in serviceable accessories of the home and school. In the busy shops, on the scaffoldings of new structures, in odd nooks and corners of the Hampton grounds, negro and Indian carpenters, for example, have for many years been daily mastering the building art and have been preparing themselves for life's emergencies by learning how to make the best possible use of their resources—time tools, skill and moral qualities. Today the construction of the Hampton institute buildings and the necessary repairs are being satisfactorily done by student tradesmen. Naturally a good share of this interesting work falls to the lot of the carpenters. A few years ago, when it became necessary to remodel the principal's home, one of the oldest buildings on the Hampton campus, negro and Indian tradesmen did the necessary tearing down and building up. These operations were no easy task. The bulk of the work had to be done in hot and trying weather. The boys labored with a will. They were happy to have an opportunity of doing well what professional builders considered a difficult piece of work. Later, when the school authorities decided to add a story to the Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trade school, the student tradesmen again attacked with enthusiasm the laborious task of raising the heavy roof and putting on the second story. Then came the tedious days devoted to finishing the interior work. There was always the joy of doing successfully tasks generally considered beyond the reach of tradesmen in the training. William Quinney, a colored man who has been living near here, passed through McNell en route to Shreveport accompanied by a portion of his interesting family of 20 children and his third wife. The children with him numbered seven, and they are all by his present wife. Quinney had seven children by his first wife, including two sets of twins; six by wife No. 2, and seven by the present one. All the wives are living, and after divorcing his former helpmeets, Quinney on each occasion lived six years in single blessedness. With his record of three wives and 20 children Quinney is still only forty-eight years old and expects to acquire quite a large family before he dies.—McNell (Ark.) dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The total negro population of the United States—latest figures—is 9,828,294, according to a pamphlet issued recently by the Illinois commission appointed by Governor Dunne to arrange a half-century anniversary of negro freedom. The negroes own $1,000,000,000 worth of property and worship in $65,000,000 worth of churches. Their land cows 31,000 square miles, or 20,000,000 acres. There are 1,119,653 negro female breadwinners, sixteen years of age and over. Of these, the largest number, 634,104, are domestics, 434,041 are engaged in agricultural pursuits, 361,804 are agricultural laborers and 313,091 are servants and waitresses. The commission is planning an exposition of the progress made by the negroes of Illinois since their emancipation, which will begin August 1, 1915, and continue for 30 days in the Coliseum. More than 4,000,000 tons of ore a year are expected to be exported from iron mines in Algeria by French capitalists who have obtained concessions after more than ten years of effort. Figures relating to the output of coal in British India during 1912 have been published by the chief inspector of mines. They show total output last year of 14,044,368 tons, which is near 2,000,000 tons in excess of the production recorded in the previous output. Every high school graduate in Nebraska receives a letter from the University of Nebraska congratulating him on his graduation and urging him to consider the advantages offered by the state university. Commenting on the condition of the colored Baptist churches in Chicago a writer in the Standard says: Their numbers help to suggest the important place which these Baptist churches hold in the life of this community. Let me supplement this by the words of a splendidly educated colored woman, Mrs. F. B. Williams, who says: "Despite the serious handicap of slowly decreasing debts, the colored church is the center of the social life and efforts of the people. What the church sanctions and supports is of the first importance, and what it fails to support and sanction is more than apt to fail. The colored churches historically, as to numbers and reach of influence and dominion, are the strongest factor in the community life of the colored people. Aside from the ordinary functions of preaching, prayer-meetings, and Sunday school, the church is regarded by the masses as a sort of tribute of all their social and civic interests. Thousands of colored people know and care for no other entertainment than that furnished by the church. What they fail to learn of the finer things of life in the church remains unlearned. These people, generally speaking, have few civilizing and elevating influences, except as they are supplied by this single institution." She concludes by saying: "Our churches could do more and be more to the ever-increasing number who need guidance, social ideals and higher moral standards, if they were less burdened with debts and an unyielding orthodoxy. The Chicago churches, however, are becoming more intelligently interested and earnest in their endeavor to meet the peculiar requirements of the city colored people." The 17 colored churches differ as widely as our own churches. Numerically, they range from a membership of 2,500 to one of 35. Financially, they vary from a debt-free larger church to the bankrupt and defunct mission church. Theologically, intellectually, socially, they differ. They are not made in a mold. They exhibit a bewildering and complex variety. They are really independent. Their churches are named after the great outstanding places of scriptural history—a fact which suggests their independence and variety—and not numerically according to historical precedence, as we have been accustomed to number our churches. And yet, in spite of the great differences between these churches, there are some common possibilities of advancement which occur to the friendly observer. The main building of the Wilson Tubercular Home and Hospital for Negroes, just completed at Wilson, N.C., is used as a center for training nurses and testing the ailments of patients. In addition to this main building there is a farm of 40 acres, half of it in pine woods, on which it is hoped that buildings may be erected for patients who are able to work while taking the treatment. Lucifer matches—that is, matches tipped with an explosive substance that bursts into flame on being struck—were first used about 1834. Many improvements have been made in matches since then, the most important of which was the invention of the safety match, striking only on the box. The annual meeting of the National Nebro Business league was held this year in Muskogee, Okla. These meetings are always largely attended. The delegates include not a few colored men who by their industry, intelligence and thrift have attained a competency if they are not to be reckoned wealthy. They are successful farmers, physicians and lawyers and merchants and mechanics. Very largely they are from the Southern states. This year, as usual, Booker Washington was one of the speakers, and gave his accustomed counsel emphasizing the opportunities which are open for those who devote themselves to useful employments everywhere. There was an industrial parade which gave impressive proof of the progress and attainmente of the colored people in agriculture, in stock raising, in artisanship, in schools, in churches and in homes. In spite of narrow prejudice and in many places unworthy hostility, the colored people are making progress that is worth while. When a man tells a young widow that he is not worthy of her he knows she knows he's lying. Experiments by the Japanese government of producing camphor by distilling the leaves and branches of camphor trees have reached a stage at which 317 gallons of distillate are produced from each 400 pounds of leaves. That man has a powerful clutch on his high speed lever who can refrain from starting anything he knows he can't finish. When a woman marries for spite she usually spites herself more than her husband. ERNEST HOWARD, Carpenter, Job and Repair Work. Paints, Oils and Glass.

October 25th Set As the Date of Execution at the State Penitentiary. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Unless the State Board of Pardons should commute the sentence to life imprisonment, Harold F. Henwood, who killed Sylvester L. von Phil and George E. Copeland in the barroom of the Brown Palace hotel May 24, 1911, will be hanged at the state penitentiary in the week beginning the 25th of this month. The State Supreme Court this morning refused to grant a rehearing of the case, in which the judgment of death was affirmed early in the summer. John T. Bottom, Henwood's attorney, announced that he could not discover any possible way of appealing to the Supreme Court of the United States. He declared belief that Henwood is now insane and asked the Supreme Court to appoint a lunacy commission. The court announced that it had no power to do so, and Mr. Bottom then said he would not press the matter, but would make formal appeal for commutation of the sentence. Later he expressed firm belief that the sentence would be commuted, particularly because Judge Charles C. Butler, when he formally pronounced the death sentence fixed by the jury, recommended that the penalty be changed to life imprisonment. Denial of the motion for a rehearing on Henwood's appeal was announced as soon as the Supreme Court convened this morning. The court was unanimous. Civil Service Examinations. Denver.—The first of the United States civil service examinations will be held Oct. 15 at the Denver postoffice. The examinations will be for an assistant in the warehouse investigation, with a salary from $1,800 to $2,400. Oct 27 three examinations will be given at the postoffice, including one for a specialist in home economics, to fill a vacancy in this position in the bureau of education at Washington, assistant in rural education to fill vacancies in the bureau of education and an ornamental iron worker for the bureau of engraving and printing. An open examination will be given Nov. 3 for a specialist in agricultural education at $3,500 a year and a junior physical chemist at $1,800. Nov. 4 an examination will be given for a teacher of vocal music to fill vacancies in the Indian service at salaries ranging from $600 to $720 a year. Only women are eligible. Parcel Post Service Enlarged. Denver.-The official notice of the establishment of the "farm-to-the-table" service of the parcel post has been received in Denver. It tells of the success of the system in other cities where it was established and gives instructions as to what is to be done by the Denver office in the furtherance of the success of the plan. The letter was signed by Daniel C. Roper, chief clerk to the postmaster general. It orders the Denver postoffice officials to get in touch with the farmers who have produce to sell and obtain a list of the products they can furnish during the different seasons. This list is to be printed as in other cities and circulated by the Denver mail carriers. It is also to be posted in conspicuous public places. Mint to Make Holiday Money. Denver.—The Denver mint is soon to start the coinage of $25,000,000 in gold and silver for the use of Eastern banks during the holiday season. It is the first time since the local mint was established that the Philadelphia mint has not furnished the East with its holiday supply of gold. The mint is to make twenty, ten and five-dollar gold pieces and a special order of the two and one-half dollar gold coins. At least 1,000,000 of the latter are to be coined. In the event that the Philadelphia mint is not able to supply the silver coins needed for the holidays, the Denver plant is to make 1,000,000 dimes, 1,000,000 quarters and 750,000 halves. Republican Party Second. Denver.—The State Supreme Court Monday handed down a decision declaring that party to be the second in the state and entitled to equal representation with the Democratic party in the matter of precinct election judges. The decision, although not written, was rendered in the Ellis Meredith-Clements et al. appeal from the decision of District Judge George W. Allen declaring the Progressive party to be the second party in the state. The written opinion will be filed by Justice White when it is completed and will be recorded as "en banc." Splendid Blankets at Durango Fair. Durango.

There is but one day—October 15th—left for the citizens of this city to register for the coming election, November 3d. It is to be hoped that each one who has not registered will do so; let there go forth from this city and state a just rebuke of the present policy of this administration for the closed coal mines, and that resulted in throwing out of employment thousands of workmen with families to support. Let each one consider this fact as he registers and afterwards cast his vote on November 3d, that he is entering a protest against the "free-trade" policy of the present party in power. The only way to do this is to make the next Congress so strongly Republican as to prevent more of such legislation, that has proved to be such a great detriment to the future prosperity of the country. It will announce on the part of the citizens of this state that the President need not hope that he will receive the electoral vote of the state if he should be the candidate of his party for the place he now fills two years hence. Mr. Wilson feels at this moment that the coming election will repudiate him and his party's acts, and for this reason he is causing the present Congress to remain in session until they pass all the baneful legislation that he has marked upon his program for them to pass. Colored voters of this city and state have now the chance to show Mr. Wilson their high (?] regard for him in his segregation policy towards members of our race and the general policy of his party towards us in its denial to us of our legal rights. THE REPUBLICAN TICKET The Republican ticket is good enough for The Colorado Statesman. It is good enough for every colored voter in Colorado. It is good enough for every man or woman with the right of franchise, who stands for what is upright, progressive, clean and above-board in state government. To head the ticket with the name of a man who is in his very prime, a magnificent example of perfect physical development, who has always kept in leading touch and practical sympathy with every influence that has made this state great, and with every principle that has sought to make and to keep her and her people clean, progressive and righteous, is to command the respect, admiration and support of all people who love truth and honor and order more than they love political pretension and personal clamor over bombastic party politics. Nothing better could have been done to set the Republican party in this state squarely on its feet and give it at once the inside track in the coming race. George A. Carlson, as a candidate for governor, is an inspiration to every good citizen and an honorable assurance to every honest voter of every class. But the remainder of the ticket is on a par in character with the head, and altogether it presents a combination which, for merit, cannot be beaten. A more satisfactory and deserving ticket was probably never placed before the voters of the state. The colored voters of Colorado can always be counted on the side of clean and honest government. Sobriety, order, cleanliness, progressiveness and all the characteristics of decency are of great importance to the welfare of the colored people, and the ticket now before them they have every reason to feel genuine confidence. TRUTH. There is no greater or grander word or expression known to men or to angels than this one word—Truth. In its larger sense it embraces everything that is, known or unknown, for it stands for everything that God has created and called good. But in its more definite meaning it represents that which is right and just as opposed to that which is wrong. And truth is always just. No matter how it may hurt or injure, nevertheless it is right, for it is but the balance which weighs up against a past wrong, and readjusts and brings to a righteous level a surface that has been thrown out of its natural condition. The wrongs, the sins which men commit are many, but there is never one that must not at some time, in some way, be redeemed. A lie is not only an abomination, but it is a fictitious creation of human imagination, and therefore an outcast of nature. It must die; because there is no true life in it. Although its fate, its final end is certain, it is best that a lie be nailed to the cross at once. The sooner it is dead the less it will baffle truth. And the lie is the resort of cowards. It springs from minds that know that they are in the wrong and which hope for temporary gain without earning or deserving gain. Men grow in strength and power only as they are willing and able to face and abide by the truth. Look into the character of the man who flees from or seeks to oppose the truth, and you find one who at heart is a moral coward. He is not capable of great deeds and his life and efforts are worthless to humanity and to himself. The greatest freedom, and therefore the greatest happiness, that a man can enjoy, is to know that he has not attempted to turn his feeble strength against what is true and right, which is the creation and the might of God. Many men follow false standards, imagining that they are in the right, and though, for a time, they may seem to prosper, their final downfall and that of their standard is inevitable, for while falsehood may endure while it is not understood, "truth crushed to earth shall rise again!" Then seek the truth bravely; bow to the truth with unshaken faith; honor, strive for and exalt the truth, for nothing else on earth is worth while. A preacher's congregations have to accept his sermons whether they want to or not, but editors do not have to send back checks for manuscripts their readers do not want. The How Preachers Could Improve Their Sermons By Rev. W. C. POOLE, Wilmington, Del. A preacher's congregations have to accept his sermons whether they want to or not, but editors do not have to send back checks for manuscripts their readers do not want. The preacher may claim that a sermon is not to be compared with a magazine manuscript. Certainly he will not deny that he is divinely commissioned to be a "fisher of men." But what wise fisherman would go fishing without first carefully choosing the kind of bait to interest the fish he is trying to catch? A standard question in opening a business proposition is, "Can I interest you?" Millions of dollars are paid to writers of advertisements so to phrase every sentence as to get the attention and interest of the reader. Merchants know it is absolutely necessary to interest the crowd to sell their goods. Who pays a dollar for anything which does not interest him? How long will people come to church if the church fails to create interest in them? It is not so much the question of getting the crowd which might go to some other church, but it is the greater question of getting the people who will not go to any church if not interested. I can get the crowds by supplying their needs for this world and the next. The Master did not do this to get the crowds, for he never stooped to anything unworthy of the Son of God; but, to phrase it differently, the crowd came because he met their immediate and future needs. What could be more sensational and effective to draw a crowd than working miracles? The newspapers report how thousands tried to get near Doctor Friedmann when he was reported to have a cure for the white plague. Jesus fed the multitudes, not with ice cream after those big meals, but with food when they were hungry, and the miracle he wrought did not lessen the interest. Peculiar Ways of the Butterfly Girl By Martha B. Hastings, Boston, Mass. Peculiar Ways of the Butterfly Girl By Martha B. Hastings, Boston, Mass. She is pretty and popular, and her lackadaisical, butterfly ways are looked upon by her friends as a joke. So, privately, she thinks they are rather smart. She won a chafing dish in a prize contest, and, as an instance of her heedless ways, she fluttered around and invited all her friends to a chafing-dish supper. Her mother, when she heard of the invitations, remarked cynically, "And she can't even make a cup of tea." She lies in bed in the morning and lets her mother and sister bring her breakfast to her. She has such appealing, butterfly ways about her that her friends run to fulfill her every wish. She thinks life is a bed of roses especially made for her to lie upon. This may all be pleasant for her, but is she letting herself grow into a woman to be admired? Even though she may be liked because of her charm and her cute ways, ought she herself to be satisfied with this? Surely it is more worth while to be a sweet, womanly, useful girl than to be a pampered doll. Ought she not to come forth from the slough of indulence and selfishness and be of service as well as being served? Even flowers yield honey, and no girl, no matter how pretty and popular she may be, should be content always to accept and never to give. She ought to rise above such a low standard of life. Because she is liked is all the more reason why she should give some real return for this liking. She could give her friends something genuine for what they give her, not the meaningless coin of smiles and thanks and nothing more. To her mother and sister she should give some real return for all the love and attention they lavish upon her, and not accept these as if they had been born to wait upon her. Making Scapegoat Out of Family Cat By E. B. PLUMMER, Detroit, Mich. Many of the alarmists who, in order to stop the spread of tuberculosis, advocate the killing of the family dog and cat drink milk and eat butter that come from tuberculous cows. And yet they would slaughter the family dog. These people who howl about the family cat always forget the floor mop drying in the back entryway, to say nothing of the dishrag that has been used for a week without being sterilized. Even the canary bird and his germ-laden cage are overlooked in order that they may make a scapegoat out of the family cat. But before they kill the cat and his brother, the dog, let them try a little right living and right thinking. Let them be clean inside, be clean outside, ceasing to suppose that talcum powder and perfumes mean clean-liness, because they don't; let them live on wholesome foods, the stuff that makes blood and brawn. Whole-wheat bread, olive oil and grape juice are more wholesome than milk and butter from an unhealthy cow. Let them live in God's sunlight. And when they have done all that let them think clean thoughts, from a clean body, sustained with clean, wholesome foods and guarded with a sound morality. The women's fashions of late years have been awful, heaven knows. Men have an absolute right to object to them—or would have if they themselves were not vulnerable. For the sake Few Absurdities of Men's Fashions By J. P. WASHBURNE, New York The women's fashions of late years have been awful, heaven knows. Men have an absolute right to object to them—or would have if they themselves were not vulnerable. For the sake of variety I would, therefore, like to call attention to some male absurdities in the matter of dress. We complain that the women change their styles too frequently. They do. So do the men. Both sexes seem to have lost understanding of the fact that it is wise to hold fast to that which is good and instead seem to seek only novelty. Take men's hats. The straw hats of one year are distinguished by low crowns and brims as wide as umbrellas. The next year the crowns rival chimneys in height and the brims need a telescope to see them. One year the shoulders of men's clothes bulge with pounds of felt padding. The next year they are angular with the outline of shoulder bones. One year trousers are wide enough to furnish material for three extra pairs. The next year they are tight enough for a harlequin. But why go on? Can we men consistently throw stones at the women from our own crystal palaces?

Again the voters are called upon to make a selection for a Commissioner of Safety. This is being done under the guise of a recall, aimed at Com- missioner Alexander Nisbet. Mr. Nis- bet has made an excellent official. Of course he has not pleased everybody, neither has the wishes of everybody pleased him. Yet, no real fault can be found with his official acts, and certainly not by the Colored People. He has always given us a place in his department, and has treated us square in every particular. The Colorado Statesman can vouch for Mr. Nisbet's integrity and honesty and can con: ceive no reason why he should be re- called. What are we to gain by in- stalling another in his place? Can we hope to secure better recognition for our people? Or is it expected that we will again fall in the trenches dug by the discontented in order to help themselves to more places for them: selves and less for us, Under no con: dition should we fail to heed the old saying that it Is not only bad, but dangerous policy to “swap horses in the middle of the stream,” and certain: ly at this time we are crossing a very dangerous stream and only by the stern hand of the Republicans can we hope to restore real order and justice for all alike. On October 16th this election will be held, and REMEMBER, that you can vote for a First, Second and other CHOICES. So there will be no excuse for not giv. ing our friends a boost.

RITTER Candidate For Commissioner Of Satety Mr. Halsted L: Ritter, candidate for the office of commissioner of safety, belongs to that distinct class of gentlemen who put honor above all else and can be depended upon for a square deal to all citizens. He is easy of approach, his pleasing manner, and strict attention to duty has made Mr. Ritter very popular with all classes. It can be safely said that there is not a man in public life, who has more personal friends and admirers than he has. The coming special elec: ‘tion October 16 is going to mean a great deal to the Negro and he is urged to stay by the man who has proven himself our friend. | SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES: Dr. R. A.

William B, Gobin, the Republi- can nominee for attorney general, is on of the truly “live-wires” of the present campaign. Born of good old Pennsylvania stock, reared in rock-ribbed Republicanism, he has justly earned his present honor and distinction by over 20 years of un- selfish loyalty to the party in all its state and national -battle. He is a lawyer of ability, fair and strictly hon- orable in all his dealings and a warm, true and tried friend of the Negro. Mr. Gobin is a nephew of the late J. P. S. Gobin of Pennsylvania, who was for years the recognized leader of his party in his state. He is a pioneer citizen of Rocky Ford and has been actively identified with every indus- try that has served to develop the great Arkansas valley to its present high state of prosperity. His prop- erty interests in Rocky Ford and other sections of the state are very large, gained absolutely by his own efforts and square-dealing. .Mr. Gobin ig entitled to and should receive your vote.

BUY MUTTON IN QUANTITIES Question of Economy, and Its Disposl- tion Is Not a Hard Matter for the Clever Housekeeper. Food experts agree that year-old nutton is more nutritious than young lamb. It is much cheaper to buy it in quantities. A hind quarter will fur- nish chops which can be breaded of served plain or with tomato sauce. The leg can be roasted or boiled, served with mint or caper sauce. The bones make a good cream soup of Scotch barley broth, The scraps of cold roast mutton make an excellent salad combined with chopped celery, onions and peppers. Mix with mayon- naise and serve on a lettuce leat. The chopped cold mutton is fine sea- soned and baked in mango peppers from which the seeds have been re- moved, or chop the scraps of roast mutton, heat in a cream sauce and serve on toast or in pattie cases. The fore quarter of mutton makes stews, plain or with curry powder, meat pies and en casserole with vege tables or rice. Roast the shoulder, stuffed or plain, and use the loin for chops. In order that one may not get Ured of mutton, do not serve it all the time, but alternate with other dishes. Cook the stews and soups and can them. Keep in a cool place. The chops can be heated and covered with melted lard. A roast can be kept in- definitely, the same way. This Is a specially good idea for those at a dis- tance from a meat market. CONVENIENT IN THE KITCHEN New Sink Dishpan That Is Calculated to Save Time and Labor in Housework. A new sink dishpan has just ar rived on the market and is creating a decided sensation among housewives who are obliged to admit the dishpan family to their intimate acquaintance: ship. The dishpan is square like the sink, and has four short tin legs and a plug in the center. The plug is pulled out to let off the dishwater which drains Into a wire drawer underneath, six by eight inches in elze and an inch deep. This catches all greasy substances and waste from the water; then the drawer may be pulled out and emp- tled into the garbage bucket, which saves the clogging of the sink and also prevents the handling of the usual waste by the woman who does the dishwashing. It is a clever con- trivance, and will certainly have a niche in the ball of honored time and labor saving conventences. RV eeracak St good-sized: apples, -peciee ane sliced; one cupful molasses, one cup- ful sugar, a little salt and cinnamon. Make a dough of one scant pint of flour, one teaspoonful soda, one tea- ‘spoonful cream tartar, one-half tea- spoonful salt. Rub one-half tablespoon- ful of shortening into flour and mix with buttermilk or sour milk to make It right to roll. Put one-half of the apples in a deep agate pan or kettle, season with one-half cupful molasses, one-half cupfu! sugar, salt and cinna- mon; Divide the dough into two parts and roll one-half to size to cover ap- ples. Put in another layer of apples with remainder of molasses, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Cover with other half of dough, with slits cut in top. Put in one cupful of hot water, cover closely and cook on top of stove from thirty to forty-five minutes, taking care not to scorch. ‘Camb Gurey Put two pounds of lamb in a stew- pan with sufficient water to, cook it, having previously washed it. Let it stew slowly till the meat comes easily from the bones. When cool, cut it into small pieces. Fry a small onion in two ounces of butter to a light brown, add a tablespoonful of curry powder and half a spoonful of curry paste; mix all together with half a pint of good gravy or stock, put in the meat and ‘let it stew gently half an hour.

Add to the yolks and cream four ounces of flour and one tablespoonful of sugar, one ounce of raisins and one ounce chopped almonds. Then add the beat- en whites, stir and fry on a griddle with two ounces of butter, either whole or in three parts. Let it brown. When light sift it with sugar and serve with preserves or hot vanilla or wine sauce. Care of Oven. An oven that is constantly in use requires to be kept scrupulously clean It should not only have the shelves scrubbed out with soda occasionally, put in addition the shelves should be painted with quicklime two or three times a year. An oven treated in this way never becomes caked with grease and there Is no unpleasant sme} when it Is being used.

RUSS ROUT TEUTONS Ylavs Claim Great Victory and Cap. ture of Augustowo— Slaughter Kaiser's Army Which tn. vaded Poland. (Summary of Events.) General Von Kluck reinforeed with troops from the German cen- ter, continues to make a deter- atined stand against the attempt of the Allies to outflank him in Northwest France. The French, who officially re- ported that all German attacks in this region had been repulsed and that the Allies had resumed the offensive, announced that the bat- tle north of the Gise river which commenced seriously about Sep- tember 25, continues with great violence with no decisive result and that at certain points the French troops have had to yield ground. The Germans in their latest re- port say the battle is proceeding successfully for them. Germans Weaken Center, ‘The country where the chief fight- ing is going on is flat and under culti- vation, In many places it is boggy and there are scattered coal mines. The allied armies are continually extend- ing toward the north and bending east- ward toward the Belgian frontier, thus compelling the Germans, in or- der to prevent the crumbling up of thelr main army, to move large forces trom the center and so keep pace with ihe Allies, whose position menaces the invaders along the whole line. The Allies’ plan, it is thought, may com- pel the Germans to release the pres- sure on the Belgians. Both Sides Rally. From September 28 to October 3 the Allies were having all the best of the fight against General Von Kluck. ‘They were battering, his army badly and they had almost accomplished a crushing flank movement not far south of Ostend, Belgium, when the Germans rallied and pushed back the French-British left wing. A similar operation took place in the eastern field, except, however, the positions of the opponents were re- versed. The Germans had silenced some of the important forts around Verdun, a French army base, and were beginning a serious penetration into eastern France, The French rallied, drove the Germans clear back into Lorraine and penetrated German ter- ritory through the Vosges mountain passes. Nut they haven't gone much beyond the mountains. Watch Northwest Battle, Severe artillery duelling has been almost constant in the general neigh: borhood north of Rheims, where the Germans have entrenched infantry along the Aisne river and have em- GERMANS KEEP POUNDING AWAY AT ANTWERP FORTS London.—The Antwerp correspon: dent of the Dally Telegraph telegraph- ing regarding the fighting around Ant- werp under date of, Saturday, says: ‘phe Germans continue their des- perate effort to capture Antwerp, ‘Whey are in a desporate hurry to ac- womplish it, pounding away unceasing. fy with thetr artillery at Fort Wael- hem and Warwe St. Catherine and . battled siege guns and other heavy ar- tillery in the foothills of the Ardennes mountains. Breach in Antwerp Forts. Berlin.—An official report from the German army headquarters says that in the siege of Antwerp the forts of Lierre, Waelhem and Koningshoyckt and the intermediate redoubts, with thirty guns, have been taken. ‘Thus a breach has been muqe in the outer circle of forts,” the report adds, “ren- dering an attack on the inner circle of forts and the town itself possible.” Londen.—With the German attack on the outer fortifications of Antwerp, Belgium again has become the scene of serious operations. ‘The invaders, so far, haye confined their attack to the forts protecting the river cross- ings between Malines and Antwerp. ' Is Von Moltke Out? London.—Lieut. General Helmuth Von Moltke, chief of the German gen- eral staff, has, been removed from that office by the emperor, according to a report received here. | Continuing, the dispatch says the emperor wished to subordinate sound strategy to a desire to attack England, but General Von Moltke preferred to postpone the latter action as it would have no effect upon the immediate situation. The scarcity of food in Brussels has raised a graye problem, and 180,000 persons are applying for rations, which the German administration is finding it difficult to supply.

Their retreat is changing into a rout that is so disorderly and. pre- cipitate that they are forced to aban- don everything. “Two Russian armies are proceed: ing, one from the west and another from the south, toward Allenstein (in East Prussia, fifty miles southeast of Bling).

BROUGHT INGENUITY TO BEAR How + Resourceful Were Used Her Fireless Cooker to Aid Her in Task or \usenicde That the fireless cooker principle 1s applicable to some other branches of housework has been proved conclu- sively by one of our clever readers, Who startled me the other day by writ- ing that she washes her clothes in ® fireless cooker, says the Philadelphia Ledger. This sounded unbelievable, but this ts what she did: Sho purchased a large, well-made barrel with the head knocked off, and also bought a large galvanized can with close-fitting lid, such aa is used for removing garbage or containing water. She placed the large can with- {n the barrel and she filled the three- Inch space between the two entirely with excelsior, which she packed down thoroughly—in other words, she insul- ated the can aS much as possible. She also made a little cushion stuffed with excelsior to entirely cover the barrel top and fit down over the top of the inner can. Now what next did this woman? She filled the can half full of boiling water, in which she placed her white clothes, together with a generous handful of soap powder. She then shut the lid, pressed down the circular cushion and let the clothes remain in the suds over night. In the, morning she found them very thoroughly soaked, to say the least, and thus a great deal of her washday labor saved. Who says our housewives are not ingenious? HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS When making apricot jam add a llt- tle lemon juice. It gives an excellent flavor. When whipping cream beat slowly for the first two minutes and then very rapidly. Instead of boiling beetroots roast them in the oven. The flavor will be much improved. If bacon is soaked in water for a few minutes before frying it will prevent the fat from running. Save the vinegar left over from pickles. It is better than ordinary vinegar for salad dressing. Gold embroidery may be cleaned when it tarnishes with a brush dipped in burned and pulverized rock alum. When washing saucepans be sure to lay them in front of the fire for five or ten minutes, so that they may dry thoroughly inside, and so prevent de- teriorating through getting rusty. ‘Grane Wine. Pick the grapes from the stems, wash and drain thoroughly, and to four quarts of grapes put three pounds of brown sugar and put in a jug or cask. 1 prefer the jug, as I have better luck with it. Let it remain until next March, then draw off the wine and bottle, and to every gallon of juice drawn off put one quart of water into the grapes, with three-quarters of a pound of sugar for another drawing of wine. Let the last remain until fall, then draw off. Remember the first in March, the second in September. Don't crush the grapes, but make with grapes whole. The longer you keep the wine after bottled the better it is. I shook mine well so the jugs were full—Boston Globe. Salmon Hash. One can salmon, flaked coarse; one cupful rolled cracker crumbs; one cupful milk. Have the skillet hot, place two tablespoonfula butter; when melt- ed put in cracker crumbs, stir, then the flaked salmon, stir these together, season well with pepper, salt and a dash of cayenne and then mix one- quarter teaspoonful of dry mustard ‘with the of] that was on the salmon, and stir in the mixture. When the whole is thoroughly heated through and thick it ls ready to serve. This makes an excellent dish to prepare on short notice, and is surely a hungry man’s delight. Old-Fashioned Pandowdy. Line around deep earthen pudding dish with a good thick ple crust; pare and slice it full of apples. Sweeten to taste with halt molasses and half sugar (a Ught brown sugar is best). Spice with allspice, which is best with mo- lasses sweetening, or other spice as preferred, two tablespoonfuls of water, a very little salt and a dusting over of flour to thicken the juice of the ple. Cover with a crust one-quarter of an inch thick and bake an hour, or till done. Serve very hot. Gureathranta: Put two or more pounds of sweet- breads in lukewarm water for an hour, then boil them in fresh water for an- other hour, drain them well and when cold bake them in a hot oven, bast- ing them with the Hquor which comes from them until they are nicely browned all over. This dish is very nice and most economical, as the sweetbreads should not be expensive. Grape Juice Frappe. Boll one cupful of sugar and two cup. fuls of grape juice flve minutes, add the juice of one lemon and one cupful of orange juice and beat until cold. Fold in the stifly beaten whites of three eggs, pack in ice and salt and freeze to a mush. u ‘Stand for Wash Tub. ‘When washing, put the tub in the open end of a barrel.

SAYS SEIZURE OF GERMAN PACIFIC ISLANDS ONLY TEMPORARY. STATEMENT ACCEPTED INFORMATION GIVEN VOLUNTARILY BY JAP EMBASSY, AND TENSION RELIEVED. Washington, Oct. 7. — Secretary Bryan has been officially informed that the occupation by the Japanese naval forces of the German Pacific islands is only temporary and solely for military purposes. The assurance came today from the Japanese foreign office through Ambassador Guthrie and also from the Japanese embassy in Washington. It is believed the declaration from the Japanese government of its intentions regarding the islands seized was made voluntarily. State Department officials said yesterday no inquiries had been made by the United States on the subject. It was believed here tonight that this government had accepted the statement from Tokio as sufficient guarantee that the situation in the Far East would not be altered in any way inimical to its interests. It was reiterated at the Japanese embassy tonight that the necessity of protecting commerce in the Pacific from the German cruisers eluding pursuit in those waters, had prompted the seizures. Japanese and British fleets, in according with a common understanding, it was said, had been acting together in all movements of the Japanese fleet. BORDER PATROL ALERT. Troops Lined Up to Kill Intruders at Naco. Naco, Sonora, Oct. 7.—Beleaugered Naco and its Villa attackers under Governor Maytorena have drawn the United States border patrol into more active service. Repeated attempts of unneutral acts by both sides caused Colonel Guilfoyle, the American commander, to prepare for action. The international boundary was marked today with American flags and protecting outposts were placed where the two armies could be watched. Today, the fifth of the ostensible siege, saw the first effective gun fire, Maytorena's five-inch field pieces throwing three shells into the town. The postoffice and a residence were damaged. The piece is reported to be handled by a German artilleryman, a Captain Maplow. Hill continues to receive supplies and ammunition, and he has mounted fourteen machine guns. Their fire, however, is ineffective. $20,000,000 for River Work.

DISPUTE HOLDS UP PAY UTILITIES COMMISSION CONTROVERSY TAKEN TO COURT. Attorney General Farrar Rendered Opinion That Employés Do Not Come Under Civil Service. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—As the result of a dispute between the Public Utilities Commission and the Civil Service Commission as to whether or not the employés of the Utilities Commission are in the classified service State Auditor Roady Kenehan has held up the pay of the employés since the commission came into being in August. The utilities commission plans to mandamus Kenehan to settle the question in the courts. As the case will undoubtedly be taken to the State Supreme Court, the four employés affected will go for some months without their salaries. The law creating the public utilities provided that the commission shall appoint its employés at its pleasure, which would remove them from the classified service. Also the statute was passed after the civil service law, and upon this point the commission makes the contention that the employés of the board do not come under civil service. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF The Civil Service Commission holds the position that it was not the intention of the Legislature in passing the Public Utilities Commission law to take the employés of the commission from the classified service. If the Legislature did, the Civil Service Commission claims, every state employe can be taken from the classified service in time by later statutes. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Th attorney general's office rendered an opinion to Keneban that the employés of the utilities commission do not come under civil service while the Civil Service Commission rendered one exactly opposite to the auditor. Should the decision of the Supreme Court be in favor of the utilities commission, the powers of the civil service Commission may in time decrease until they no longer exist. Quarrel Still on Over Militia Pay. Denver. — State Auditor Kenehan several weeks ago held up militia pay checks for three months of service pending a decision as to whether the claims should be paid from the proceeds of the insurrection bond issue or from the general military fund. Attorney General Farrar has made a partial ruling to the effect that men wounded in action or who had contracted sickness while in field service in the coal strike campaign should be paid. This leaves the claims of Gen. John Chase and a long list of subordinates employed at headquarters still unadjudicated. The list of sick and wounded includes seven on sick roll and six who were wounded in action. Of the wounded one lost an eye, another an arm and a third a leg. Farrar also allowed the pay of Capt. Louis H. Schultz, medical officer, for three months, amounting to $586.66. The claim of Maj. W. A. Jolly, also of the medical corps, for $66.66 for attending the sick and wounded in June is allowed. The enlisted men, sick and wounded, draw an average of $30, or pay at the rate of $1 a day.

There are many different forms of suspended animation, some resulting from accident, like drowning or freezing, and some due to a regularly recurring process of nature, like the hibernation, or winter sleep, of many animals. Some animals during hibernation are smothered in close-packed mud at the bottom of ponds. Anger, fear and other forms of mental excitement, it has been learned, may stop digestion entirely and cause serious kidney diseases. Toughest American Wood. The toughest American wood, according to United States forest service tests, is that of the Osage orange. Experiments show that cottonseed meal makes a palatable, nourishing and economical food for human beings when mixed with corn meal or wheat flour. A pound of digestible,protein is 15 times as expensive in meat as it is in cottonseed meal. Party Gown for the Young Girl ORGANDIE, mull, batiste, cotton volles, silk muslins, challi or any other of the semi-transparent materials, are suited to the design for a party gown such as that shown in the illustration. Those fabrics that have a plain surface—that is, without printed or woven-in figures—admit the use of scattered sprays of hand embroidered flowers and are the more elegant by the introduction of these most desirable of all decorations. Fine organdie and batiste and cotton voile, of the best quality, are lasting enough to merit the work which hand embroidery involves. These plain fabrics may be embellished with set-in medallions and scrolls of fine lace insertion in place of hand embroidery. These same decorations are used on the thin figured materials which may be preferred to the plain fabric. They look equally well on either. The frock shown here is made of fine white muslin with a plain underskirt and a tunic which is made of the material laid in fine side plaits. The bottom of the underskirt is finished in shallow scallops and there a few sprays of daisies and lilles-of-the-valley embroidered on its surface. These New Idea in Breakfast Caps ```markdown ``` THE FASHION WEEKLY THE breakfast cap still basks in the sunlight of feminine favor, and as long as it holds its place of high esteem we may expect to find it departing from the simplicity which marked its early days. From the combination of puffed crown and falling ruffle it has excursionion into many new fields. There are so many varieties of caps worn by the women of other countries that new sources of inspiration will certainly not be hard to find. The Dutch bonnet is the source from which the lace cap shown here borrowed its outlines. The pointed and flaring sides of the original have been exaggerated in the copy. It is made of lace, one of the fairly heavy all-over patterns, although wide edgings answer the purpose as well. The cap is cut in two pieces. There is a circle about six inches in diameter for the crown piece and a shaped portion for the front. This portion is wired and set on to the crown with a small piping of satin. The edge is finished with a little frill of very narrow val lace. A sat n-covered cord, instead of rib- sprays do not appear on the tunic. Its only decoration is a narrow insertion of French val lace at the top of the hem. The easy-fitting blouse has set in sleeves, V-shaped neck and surplice fastening at the front. Insertion like that on the tunic is set in at each side, forming a panel down the front and back of the blouse. In these panels and in the side pieces, sprays of embroidery like those on the skirt apear. The arm's-eye is large and the sleeves straight. The sleeves are finished with a hem having the insertion at its top and decorated with embroidered sprays. They are cut long enough to allow a little draping at the elbow where the material is caught up in two folds. The bodice is finished with a turnover collar having a narrow hem and insertion. This little frock is worn over a petticoat having a border of figured satin ribbon about the bottom. There is a crushed girdle of the same ribbon. Each wearer selects the manner of fastening the girdle which suits her best. A small flat bow at the back is to be recommended for youthful wearers. THE FILM MAKES A SUCCESS IN THEATRE. bon, is used for the decoration of the new arrival among breakfast caps. This is quite an original touch. It is sowed flat on the lace and at intervals small chiffon roses, not larger than an ordinary thimble, are set on the cord. There are several attractive new models in breakfast caps that are shown in the larger stores. One noticeable example has a puffed crown of white chiffon with fine black brussels net over it and a frill of white net with black lace. The combination of net and chiffon in two colors or one color and white, has resulted in very becoming and gay little headpieces. Ribbons and chiffon roses are the main dependence of their makers when it comes to a choice of trimming. However odd and pretty these new caps, that are patterned after the national headdresses of the women oversea, may be, the favorite breakfast headdress will remain as it has been., a soft puff for the crown of the head, and a frill of lace about the face and neck.
