PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY ENSLAVED LIBERIA VOL. XX1. Forty-three thousand square miles of Africa's most productive soil, with a sea frontage spanning a distance of 340 miles, convenient to trading vessels and only ten days from Liverpool, constitutes what is geographically known as Liberia. In this most fertile spot on the Western coast of Africa, tropical suns have coaxed nature to unbosom herself and scatter throughout the uncultivated forests, such valuable products as coffee, ginger, rubber, kola nuts, palm oil and kernals, raffia and many others. When we attempt to analyze and classify Liberia's possibilities we find ourselves lost in a maze of undeveloped resources more dense than her forests and we are constantly asking ourselves if Liberia will ever fully realize the teeming riches which generous nature has placed in her grasp and the still greater wealth enveloped in her soil and awaiting careful, scientific cultivation. In 1847, England, France and Prussia, conscience-smitten over their part in the sale trade, a treaty in a moment of remorse, which established Liberia as a colony for the free Negroes then in their countries. At that time, some of the "wise ones" said that the experiment would be a failure while others were broad enough in their views to believe that with the infiltration of white blood from the Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese slave traders and some knowledge of western civilization these Negroes would develop this rich soil into one of the world's important commercial centers. The 50,000 Negroes of American, English and local origin who constitute the governing class, inhabit the sea coast cities where they can trade with passing vessels and imitate American civilization. Instead of applying what agricultural knowledge they have to getting from the soil what it has to offer them, they depend upon the half-civilized interior tribes for their export products. Thus, they are apparently content to gather, in a sort of desultory fashion, whatever nature choose to grow for them and send it to the world markets as their own. And even in doing this, they are often careless. ```markdown ``` As an example, Liberian coffee was once the pride of the market, but not today. South American coffee has supplanted it, not because it is of higher quality, but because South American coffee planters have applied modern and scientific methods to their cultivation, harvesting and shipping, while Liberian planters continue to follow the crude and primitive methods which they employed decades ago. And again, palm kernels are sold to West Coast traders for $65 per ton. This same ton of kernels, once within the doors of a modernly equipped factory, is quickly transformed into a valuable oil which forms the basis of many of our toilet requisites, and is then worth the handsome sum of $135. Liberia has no such factories and is quite content to give 100 per cent, profit to the other fellow. The palm oil which she does not export is so poorly filtered that its commercial value is minimized at least 50 per cent. As late as September 5, 1914, a trade report stated that Liberia was in urgent need of flour, pickled pork, salt beef, corn meal, lard, preserved milk, salmon, sardines, vegetables, cheese, rice, sugar, dried fish, tobacco, etc. On the surface this statement looks quite natural and business-like, but behind it there is a story of wontonly wasted opportunities, for here is a country with a soil and a climate which will under cultivation produce rice, cattle, corn and cotton in enormous quantities, and here is a country whose waters abound in fish and yet depends upon far away Norway and Sweden and even Amirica to supply her with dried fish, while the establishment of inexpensive fish curing stations along her own sea coasts would easily meet all her requirements. Liberia, we fear, is a slave to ignorance, and foolish traditions. Liberia needs more than anything else the establishment of schools to teach agriculture and practical methods of doing things. Back-to-the Farm should be the Liberian slogan. With the government conducting a systematic effort to educate the two million inhabitants of the interior and perfecting an interior drainage system, conditions there would quickly assume important propositions, the population would increase and the natives would begin to realize their agricultural opportunities. And when advancement is made along these lines and the Liberian people begin to show a disposition to get away from their crude methods of doing things, capital will come to their aid and assist them in the development of their natural resources by the establishment of factories and the construction of railroads. Liberia is a mighty lens through which the world is looking at the DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY.

The Courier-Journal in reply to her said that there could be no discoloration of the white race as long as the male units crossed the color line, and that it would merely be decoloration of the Negroes. It further added that white men have never bothered after colored women as much as persons, like the women quoted, have often declared. Hard on the heels of the above discussions comes this shocking news from Franklin, Ky.: Nov. 11. Two white men are being tried here for the murder of Dona Gardner, a colored woman. The men are Hobby Taylor and Porter Butts. It was testified by a colored man that he and the woman had attended a dance, and on the way home were stopped by the white men. Butts, after accusing the woman of promising not to run with Negro men, shot her three times, killing her instantly. This testimony was substantiated by Leona Whitesides, another colored woman, who said she and Dona Gardner had an engagement to meet Butts and Taylor that night. As stated editorially by the News last week, it is very common in small towns to have white men drive colored men away from their own women. The case proves that the white lady and the News are right and the Courier-Journal wrong. Negro race. It is for this reason that the Negro in America is beginning to free himself and urges his brother in Africa to arise from his present state of lethargy, shake from his limbs the shackles of ignorance and impractical civilization, remembering always that he who would be free must free himself—New York Age. HAD EIGHT SETS ON TWINS Coswell, N. C., Nov. 23.—Squire Robert I. Mitchell, who visited his old home near Ridgville recently, brought back a bit of rare news The wife of West Graves, colored, of that section, has just presented her husband with the eighth consecutive set of twins. The young couple have been married about thirteen years A remarkable circumstance thereof is the fact in each of twins was a boy and a girl. There are eight children living, one of each set set having died. CASPER, WYO., NOTES. Mrs. L. Boone will leave soon for her home in Denver for an indefinite stay. Mr. and Mrs. Bell, formerly of Denver, wish to be remembered to their many friends. A jolly crowd gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Wilson on Thanksgiving, where a sumptious dinner was served. Mr. A. C. Ford was toastmaster of the evening and his spicy and witty remarks added much to the enjoyment of the evening. Everybody spoke in the highest terms of the generous hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. Among those present were: I. S. Seabrook, D. C. Johnson, E. A. Desobrey, Frank Guess, Doc. Johnson, A. C. Ford, Miss Aretta Hayes, Mrs. Alice Rickards, Mrs. Clara Burnett. VANCOUVER, B. C., NOTES. Mrs. Annie E. Lindsey sends regards to her Vancouver friends, says she will be home soon. Prof. B. M. Johnson and Mrs. Louisa Oliver of 621 Davie street were quietly married Nov. 24th. Mrs. E. C. Ross entertained them at a social function previous to their departure for Oakland, their future home. Rev. Moore tied the nuptial knot. Dave Mackey, proprietor of the St. Francis hotel, is back from his ranch. He is a staunch supporter of the Statesman and thinks it the only paper published in the interest of the Negro. Mrs. E. C. Ross of 261 Keefer street gave her usual Thanksgiving supper, and I must say it was an enjoyable affair. The house was beautifully decorated with smilax; dancing was indulged in until a late hour. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Fort Worth, Texas, Nov. 24. In seventeen years Robert Harris, a Negro porter on the Santa Fe road, running between Chicago and Kansas City, has traveled 1,872,432 miles This fact was brought out in the Forty eighth District Court, where Harris was a witness for the road in a damage suit brought by a woman against the Santa Fe for alleged injuries received while traveling. money was stolen by C. I. who applied for a vacation after the shipment of the ed pouch. It is alleged to Canutitte, where he se-istered package containin to Emporia, Kan. He t to California, where he w owed by inspectors. He to El Paso a few days ago arrested. When the football team from the Springfield Training School Springfield, Mass, played the West Point Military Academy team at West Point on Saturday, November 21, it was without the service of its crack fullback, Gibson, who is a Negro. The reason for Gibson's absence was that West Point refused to play Springfield with a colored man on the team. A note from Demond Lewis, 72 West 142d street, gives the information that an invitation to Gibson to attend the game was declined by the Negro on the score that since he couldn't play he did not want to cause the school any extra expense West Point defeated Springfield. Raleigh, N.C., Nov. 24.—The State Farmers' Union of the White Men held a meeting in this city last week and passed several resolutions, one among which reads as follows: "That we earnestly reiterate our endorsement of the plan adopted at our last session urging land segregation between the races, and urged our local unions to help bring it about, to wit: That wherever the greatest portion of the land acreage in any community is owned by one race, a majority of the voters of that race may say, if they wish, that in future no land shall be sold to persons of a different race, provided such action is approved by a reviewing judge or board of commissioners as being necessary to their peace and safety and the protection of their social life." Austin, Tex., Nov. 21.—Post Office Inspectors are trying to locate $25,000 alleged to have been stolen by a clerk in El Paso, Sept. 3. The money was shipped by registered mail by the First National Bank of El Paso to the National Bank of Commerce, New York City. It was in five packages of $5,000 each. When the registered pouch reached New York it contained an empty mail sack instead of the money. Inspector Kinzel charged that the NO 15 money was stolen by C. L. Rogers, who applied for a vacation the day after the shipment of the registered pouch. It is alleged he went to Canutitte, where he sent a registered package containing $2,500 to Emporia, Kan. He then went to California, where he was shadowed by inspectors. He returned to El Paso a few days ago and was arrested. Louisburg, N. C., Nov. 24.—Two remarkable Negroes have died in this country within the past few days—Hinton Mayo, 115 years old, who helped to cut the right of way of the Seaboard Air Line from Weldom to Raleigh in 1836, and William Allen, 70 years old, the wealthiest Negro in the country. Mayo remembered distinctly President John Adams, He was a magistrate in this district five years and enjoyed the respect and esteem of white and colored. He made a good crop in 1913 and had pitched a crop for this year, but while trying to break a wild young mule early in the summer he received injuries from which he did not recover. Allen had been antisipating death for ten years, as for that length of time he had kept in his rooms a coffin to be used for his burial. Some years ago his house was burned down and the only thing saved was the coffin. Last Sunday at the Church of St. Benedict the Moor, West 53d street, the feast day of the patron was celebrated and at high mass in the morning the Rt. Rev. John E Burke wore for the first time his new robes indicative of the high honor which recently came to him from the Holy Father in Rome. Monsignor Burke, in an eloquent manner, explained to the people that the distinction which had come to him from the Pope was intended as a mark of the love of the head of the church for the colored people of the United States. The Rev. James Burgess, C. S Sp., officiated at the mass and the Rev. M. J. Kenney preached the sermon. In the evening Monsignor J. E Burke celebrated the Vespers service and Father Burgess preached a beautiful panegyric on St. Benedict the Moor. A great many priests attended the ceremonies and overflowing congregations were present. The annual quem mass for the deceased members of St. Benedict' congregation will be held Thanksgiving Day at 10 o'clock a. m. Next Sunday night, at the Advent services, Monsignor Burke will preach the sermon—New York Age. YPRES DESTROYED BY GERMAN ARMY inhabitants and Records Are Saved by French Sappers Working Under Fire. BRUSSELS MUST PAY MILLIONS ote eg ee Bie: | Ra ame er eet The Germans have destroyed the old and magnificent city of| Ypres, in southwestern Belgium. Failing to capture the place and hold it as a strategie position against the Allies, the kaiser’s army drew up to the northward an armored train of heavy artil- lery and systematically battered the city to pieces in two days. This is the gist of a report given in the latest French official bulle- tin. Every Act Justified. “Our forces were unable to succor the ctiy,” the report continues; “but French army sappers, working under the hostile shell fire, were able to rescue many of the inhabitants, the city records and a few pictures in the museum.” Berlin has made no denial of this statement by the French. In- stead, Major General Von Ditfurth writes: “Every act of whatever na- ture committed by our troops for the purpose of discouraging, defeating and destroying our enemies is a brave act and a good deed, and is fully justi- fied.” Big Levy on Belgium. A message from Brussels states that the German governor of the province of Brabant, in which Brussels is located, convoked a meet- ing of financiers and told them that Belgium must pay 35,000,000 francs ($7,000,000) monthly for the mainte- nance of German troops. In addition to this sum, it is said, Belgium must gontribute a war levy of 375,000,000 frances ($75,000,000) as a penalty for violations of neutrality by Belgium and losses ensuing therefrom to Ger- many. Official reports from Paris and Lon- don say that the Ajfies have assumed the offensive against the Germans along the Yser river and the Ypres canal in the last few days. This is regarded as a significant change. Allies Assume Offensive. The Germans, following a lull last- ing more than a week, made very heavy assanits all along the lines in the extreme northwest of France and in Southwestern Belgium. They had heavy reinforcements and fresh guns, and for a time it appeared that they would be able to cut the Allies’ line and get to the English channel, It was reported from Berlin that the kaiser had ordered his great west- ern army to get to Calais, France, by December 10, and that a raid on the east coast of England would follow the capture of Calais, That the Allies have been able to withstand the bat- tering of the German forces, and have even assumed the offensive, probably means safety for English coast towns for the winter, British Warship Sunk. The British warship Bulwark has been blown up in the Medway river off Sheerness by an explosion in her magazines, Only twelve were saved out of the crew of 700 or 800 aboard the Bulwark, The explosion is be- Neved to have been in an internal magazine. Whether it was caused by German agents or was an accident such as might have occurred in times of peace, has not been determined. British Lose Another Boat. Striking a mine off Grimsby at the mouth of the Humber river, near Hull, the British collier Khartoum was blown up, a report from the British admiralty announces. The crew was saved, but the Khartoum went to the bottom. French Guns Near Metz, French artillery continue to bom- bard Arnaville, only ten miles from Metz, Germany, The development of an offensive in Lorraine has long been expected, but to what extent it may be carried was not indicated at the war office. ak al), Common al ot ane eS ‘The Russian troops after a fight asting ten days, captured, November 48, the Austrian positions which pro- vected tiie passes in the Carpathians, oxtending fifty versts (about thirty- hree miles) from Koneczna, which {s ‘itvated north of Bartfeld as far as 3chuzko, situated south of Mezo La- sorez, The Russians in this district saptured cannons, machine guns and nany prisoners. DARING FEAT PEKFORMED BY GERMAN SUBMARINES London, — It was reported by “loyd's that two Bitish steamers had yeen sunk off Havre by German sub- narines. The steamers were the Malachite id the Primo. ‘The crews of both ves- sels were rescued. The men from the Malachie were landed at South- sampton, England, and those from the ?rimo at Fecamp, a French port on be English channel. In the first half of November, they claim, they captured fifty thousand AustroHungarian soldiers ard six hundred officers, At Plock the Rus- sian forces seized four ships laden with machine guns and munitions. German Defeat in Poland. Russia and Germany each claim a great victory in Poland. ‘The Russian ain is supported, however, by re- ports from neutral countries and from neutral correspondents, It is said that the Slavs have virtually crushed oné of Germany’s finest armies in an engagement staged between the Vis- tula and Warta rivers in Poland and have taken about 50,000 prisoners. When the full details of the Russian lery, maxims and transports. Berlin victory are known, declares Lord Kitchener, commander-in-chief of all the British forces, they will furnish a story that will astonish the world— describing a blow such as has not been dealt since the days of Napoleon. Abandon Guns and Transport. The Germans have begun a retreat along the entire front, and in many places the flight is a disorderly rout, marked by the abandonment of artil- meanwhile is beginning to talk about repulsing Russian attacks, which is a subtle method of announcing that the German troops are on the defensive. The main Russian force is exclu- sively engaged against the Plock group, whose front is cut in halves. Its right half is surrounded on all sides and fs vainly struggling as in an iron vise and striving to break through to the left wing at Lowicz, which in turn is battling unsuccessfully, A Second Battle Probable. The same dispatches (hat tell of Von Hindenburg’s reverses, however, say that the German re-enforcements were being brought up so that another great battle is likely to develop on 4 line nearer to the frontier of Posen, where the Germans will have the same chances of renewing a vigorous offensive as had the Russians in the present instance. Russian Navy Blocked? The Russian navy is useless for the present, This is the gist of an official declaration made by the German wat office. The Turkish navy dominates the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, according to the declaration. A bom- bardment of Odessa is feared and Rus- sian shipping companies have removed their ships from these bodies of water. A blockade of the harbor of Libau places the control of the Black Sea in the hands of the Germans, while the freezing of the harbor of Archangel, in the White Sea, severs Russian com- munication with the outside world. Holy War Proclaimed. ‘The proclamation of a holy war, an- nounced for the first time some ten days ago, has just been published at Constantinople. It is signed by the sultan and twenty-eight Moslem priests and calls on the Moslem world to participate in a holy war against Great Britain, Russia and France. Bitter Cold in Austria.

MUSCOVITES TIGHTEN CRACOW RING WHILE FRENCH CAP- TURE TOWNS IN ALSACE. ‘Western Newspaper Union News Service, London, Dec. 3.—Belgrade, which until the outbreak of the war was the capital of Servia, has been occupied by Austrian troops, the Servians hav- ing previously evacuated the city, ‘Thus on the 66th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Francis Joseph, who again is reported seriously ill, and four months after the outbreak of the war, his generals report one of the most important successes—they have obtained. “Belgrade was frequently under bom- bardment early in the war and but for the general European conflict which compelled Austria to send her troops against Russia, must have fal- len, an easy prey to Servia’s bis neighbor. Apparently Austria miscal- culated the nature of the Servian op- position, and only after Bosnia was invaded did she send sufficient force against the Servians to drive them back. Now they are being forced back- ward and are eagerly looking for the advance of the Russians into Hungary to afford them relief. Russia has been sending Cossack raiding parties through the Carpathi- ans with the object of averting Aus- tria’s attention—but the dual mon- archy seemingly is determined to finish with Servia first. In a dispatch dealing with the evacuation of Belgrade and its oceupa- tion by the Austrians the Daily Tele- graph’s Athens correspondent says: “As the result of a Servian concen- tration on a new defensive line Bel- grade became isolated, and, being ill- prepared to stand a siege, was evacu- ated by the garrison Monday night.” This, however, is only a small affair compared with what Is going on in north Poland. There the German army which, with the aid of reinforcements, succeeded in escaping from the ring the Russians had forced around it, has formed a new front, and at some points has resumed the offensive, ‘The Germans assert that in thie: se- ries of maneuvers, by which they were able to check the Russians, they made 80,000 prisoners. ‘The Russians, on the other hand, in a statement issued through Rome, say their captures greatly exceed this number. All agree that the losses have been heavy and that the battle still is undecisive, as it probably will be for some days, for a moment the allies are some- what disappointed that the realization of a great Russian victory is denied them. They take some consolation in the fact that the German attempt to pierce the Russian lines has failed, find that, suffering from heavy losses, tho Germans are compelled to weaken their armies elsewhere. The Russian report says that the fighting has lost some of its violence and indicates some progress for the Russian troops south of Lodz. It is unofficially reported that the Russians are “nearly in Cracow.” The official statement says: “On Dee. 1 there was a relative lull on all the fronts. In the region of Lowicz the action continued, but with Jess intensity. “Towards midnight the enemy, marching in compact columns, made a fierce attack against our positions to the north of Lodz, but was re- pulsed.” While there is every indication that another big battle is imminent in the west, there is no evidence that it actually has begun. There has been fighting in Flanders, but this, doubt- less, is the result of an attempt by the allies to take some advance positions. ‘There are also reports that the Ger- mans have evacuated several villages on the Yser canal and are concentrat- ing on new positions. The British have taken over com- mand of the Yser region, and, like the French, have been strongly reinforced. It is believed that on the first sign of a German movement to the east. in any considerable force the allies will take the offensive in the west. Reports of renewed fighting in the west are told in the official statements issued at Paris and Berlin.

Western Newspaper Union News Service, Walsenburg, Colo—The sum of $15, 000 was stolen some time Tuesday night from the postoffice where it was shipped by the First National Bank of Pueblo, consigned to the First Na- tional Bank at Walsenburg. Burt Howard, a private in Company F, Fifth United States cavalry, sta- tioned here, was arrested Wednesday charged with the theft and officials say that $4,800 of the stolen money was found in Howard’s mattress when his quarters were searched. It is al- leged that Howard, who carries the mail between the postoffice and the military camp of the federal troops in charge of this section of the strike zone was at the postoffice Tuesday afternoon when the packages contain- ing the money were received and saw them put into a drawer in the registry desk, Wednesday morning postal clerke found a window broken and iron bars twisted apart. When they opened the pouch an investigation showed the money was missing. Suspicion at- tached to Howard,’ who was soon after arrested. COMMISSION STARTS PROEE. Volorado Mine Strike, Denver.—Colorado has disposed of the remaining $300,000 of the $1,000, 000 insurrection bond issue and is prepared and willing to assume charge of all matters within her boundaries; Preajdent Wilson has been requested to remove the federal troops, and will do so at an early date; the coal mine operators are determined not to rec- ognize the union or any organization of coal miners and will continue their fight indefinitely; the coal mine op- erators possessed no firearms when the strike was called but thereafter purchased rifles and ammunition and eight rapid-fire guns for use by guards in protecting mine properties.

C.—A great tuber- culosis hospital for all branches of the governmental service may be es tablished at Las Animas, Colo. The annual report of W. C. Braisted, sur- geon general of the navy, says 367 pa- tients were treated at the Las Ant- mas naval hospital in 1913. He adds: “The government maintains three sanatoria fer tuberculosis—the army, the public health service and the navy having separate institutions,” which are maintained at great expense. “It is believed that these could be combined, and that a single institution could care for the patients of all three services at a greatly reduced expense and with no loss of efficiency. “While the joint use of hospitals fs not considered practical or desirable under usual conditions, these objec- tions do not obtain in the case of tu- berculosis sanatoria, since the patients of these institutions are rarely re- turned to duty, and their military ef- ficiency may be considered as ended when treatment in a tuberculosis hos- pitel is found necessary.” Peace Follows Mexican Riots.

Compared with the Corresponding Month of Last Year a Gain of $300,000 Is Shown. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Cripple Creek, Colo.—Official returns from mills and smelters show that the mines of the Cripple Creek district produced ore during the month of November the total gross value of which was $1,132,014.22. Compared with the production for August, the November totals are below the figures of the former, both in gross tonnage and value. November was a thirty-day month, but contained a legal holiday. Two days were lost resulting directly in reduced production. Dally average tonnage in November was greater than in October. The value of this year's November production is considerably more than the total values produced during the month of November in 1913. The difference amounts to nearly $300,000. From all authentic sources where inquiry has been made reports are to the effect that the mines of the district are in good condition, in better shape to increase production than they were at this time a year ago. This favorable status applies especially to the bigger mines, such as the Portland, Vindicator, Golden Cycle, Elkton, Isabella, Cresson and others. The new ore bodies developed at great depths in some of those mines are very rich, and of actually immense proportions in a mining sense. The total production for the last month in the present year will probably be larger than for any of the other months of the year, and it is thought may prove to be a record-breaker, if the present favorable weather continues through December. Following is the November output in detail: Mills and Smelters, Cleveland, City, N. 9,820 Tons. $20.00 $ 196,400.00 Portland (Dist. trict) 16,550 2.85 47,167.50 Stratton's Ind, N. 9,142 2.16 19,746.72 Joe Dandy, N. 1,400 2.00 2,800.00 Colonage, N. 8,00 5.00 4,000.00 Sweeters, N. 4,300 55.00 236,500.00 Golden, Cycle, (Colo, City) 29,000 20.00 580,000.00 Gaylord, N. 1,500 2.50 3,750.00 Wilson, N. 1,500 2.50 3,750.00 Isabella, N. 950 2.00 1,900.00 Ajax, N. 4,900 7.50 36,750.00 Court Orders Utilities to Pay Taxes. Denver.—The Denver Gas & Electric Light Company and the Denver Tramway Company must pay their taxes for the year 1912 upon the basis of valuation fixed by the State Tax Commission, as ordered to be collected by Assessor Pitcher.

W. Purcell. To form such laws to offer to the incoming Legislature, the District Attorneys' Association of Colorado will meet at the state capitol in Denver.

Here is a term that we often run across in discussions of racial rela- tions in the United States, and especially in the accounts of those turbulent clashes which so often occur between white and black people in, certain sec- tions of the country. ‘There is a general presumption that race hatred is a kind of excuse or palliation for the frenzied assaults and the fierce mob vengeance which have such well-established places in the American social order. The misdeed of a single Negro in almost any quarter of almost any city in the United States will call out a crowd of white men ready to wreak summary vengeance upon the friendless wretch quicker than anything else that can happen, The officers of the law, while themselves sympathizing with the vengeance-seeking, race-hating rabble, are often compelled to pro- tect a black prisoner from these so-called outbreaks of the populace. A culprit of any other race not white, as the Chinaman, Hast Indian or Jap- anese, is almost as readily assailed by the white men in numbers, who thus Seeks to revenge offences against his race, The impression given out in all these instances is that there exists a natural race enmity which is shared equally by those of opposite blood, and that any excuse for aroused passion is sufficient to set them to fighting. But race hatred is in fact a white man’s disease. He owns all the hatred which primarily comes into play and becomes the incipient cause of race riots and bloody campaigns of carnage which are of such frequent occurrence in this country. Despite his long years of untold suffering at the hands of the white man, the Negro, as @ race, does not possess a settled hatred against the white man, There may be, now and then, individual Negroes who profess hatred of the white race, but as a whole the Negro race is totally lacking of any settled feeling of malice or undercurrent of racial hatred which is ready to spend itself upon the white man. Negroes despise and resent the white man’s injustice and oppression, but with all that, they still possess wise and patient spirit of toleration, not at all akin to cowardice or fear, which would still hold the white man in friendship and fellowship if the white man’s own sense of manliness and righteousness would so allow. And we think this a remarkable characteristic of the Negro. It is apparent not only among the humbler classes, but among the very highest and best people of the race. Upon necessity the bravest of our Negro people would fight the white man to his death, but neither the highly intelligent Negro nor the Negro of the cabin or the field is, in his heart and without personal cause, an enemy of the white race. We doubt that any other race on earth is so imbued with these low feelings of race animosity and race hatred as is the white man and the absence of it demonstrates not so much a lack of reverence for anc pride in one’s own race as the possession of an innate principle of adherence to the highest and most natural claims of human brotherhood. To realiz the truth of this strange condition is to wonder at the weakness of th greatest race of the modern world. ILL-FOUNDED EXPECTATIONS. ‘The Negro’s general ideas of the powers and poss party to establish and maintain social privileges for t particular class of people are largely erroneous.

It means nothing by law, and it creates and keeps alive expectations wl chance of realization through political channels. The Negro’s general ideas of the powers and possibilities of a political party to establish and maintain social privileges for the enjoyment. of any particular class of people are largely erroneous. We often hear criticisms of the Republican party because it does not boldly take steps to abolish the Jim Crow laws passed by Southern Legislatures, or that it does not abso- lutely put a stop to lynchings, or otherwise exercise a restrictive authority in a manner to make the Negro’s lot just as happy and just as easy as that of other classes of citizens who, as classes, know nothing of these afflic- tions. These criticisms are not altogether just, because the questions in- yolved are social more than political, and are subject, first of all and almost solely, to the authority vested in the people of the several states, or are grounded, rightly or wrongly, in the sentiment of the people of communi- ties, states or sections. The greatest of the Negro’s ills grow out of race prejudice, and this prejudice, so called, partakes of the quality of public sentiment, because it is so generally shared by racial elements and fs not in fact restricted by political affiliations. Race prejudice is a white man’s disease, not at all monopolized by Democrats. It cannot be overcome by law nor by any other form of restrictive force. Its cure lies only in the way of social development, and so far as it is curable, it must come through the slow development of refining influences, touching and improving both races. and the gradual amelioration of hard and repulsive social relations. Law or political power can help this deyelopment only in a general and far-off way, as by the increase of educational facilities, the regulation or control of common carriers engaged in interstate commerce. Every state controls its ~own citizens beyond the point of general restriction established by the pro- visions of the national constitution. This is the reason why we have re- peatedly declared against the empty profession of political “friendship” for the black man in national platforms. It means nothing that can be enforced by law, and it creates and keeps alive expectations which have no possible chance of realization through political channels. THAT SEGREGATION ORDER. President Wilson must be somewhat surprised if his eyes fell on the comments of certain Democratic newspapers in the South on the segregation of colored government employes in Washington. ‘The Herald of Lexington, Ky., a8 we noted recently, took him to task in a fashion almost scathing, not alone for the order, but for his attitude toward the negro delegation that provoked his anger, The Herald was one of the president’s most loyal champions at the time of his nomination Now comes Henry Watterson, whose recent reconciliation with the White House was matter for general comment, and in the Courier-Journal declares the sezregation order fs unwarranted and ought to be rescinded. It is true Mr. Watterson approves the president’s resentment of the Negro spokesman’s “impudence,” but he recalls the fact that in fifty years, including two Demo- cratic administrations, there was no thought of separating “the white and black official sheep.” If the president’s attitude was assumed out of deference to the South, it seems to have misjudged the Southern viewpoint—Rocky Mountain News, Dee. 4 PHOLOHOH OA OAL AHOLOAOLOAOHOLOHONOHOLOAOHONOHONOHOL OLD SHORTER CHAPEL’S NOTES. | from the very first and held+it with Our pastor's sermon topics tomor- row will be as follows: 11 a, m, “Highland Scense in Bible Story,” and at 7:30 p, m., “The Swelling of the Jordan.” The boly communion — will be administered at the morning hour.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Forty Tom Watson watermelons, ranging in weight from 45 to 62 pounds, recently attracted and held my attention in Muskogee, Okla., while I was passing through a splendid agricultural and industrial exhibit, writes William Anthony Aery of the Hampton institute. Fred Hawkins, a young, slim, dark-skinned Negro of East Muskogee, who in a share tenant, working a dozen acres of rich Arkansas bottom land, raised these melons. He had caught the idea of growing fine fruit and other farm crops from seeing his white neighbors reap large profits from their few acres. He had done his best in farming and had won, thereby, both for himself and for his race, the confidence and respect of many white and black business friends. Law-abiding, hard-working, and thrifty, he has not been seriously troubled by any pressing problem of race adjustment. He has solved the problem through advancing the best interests of his own community. When he was a child he lost his mother and father and was brought up, along with one sister, by his grandparents. Though they were ignorant of book-learning they taught him to work, to save and to be honest. Hawkins is still a renter and lives in a two-room huose on a small plantation, but he is on the road to becoming an independent farmer. He has a kind and foresighted landlord—a man who furnishes his tenant a team of strong mules, good farm implements and a comfortable house. Hawkins is also making hundreds of dollars for himself, as well as for his boss man, from his cotton, corn, sweet potatoes and watermelons. I have told, in some detail, the story of Hawkins and his success to show that this young Negro is worth helping and worth understanding, that he is really succeeding, and that he is a real asset to the white man. The best Southerners know and believe this. What Hawkins has done in East Muskogee to cement more friendly race relations through his thrift and good farming, the National Negro Business league has been doing on a large scale, during fourteen years, for the whole nation. What Negroes in Oklahoma have done to earn bread by the sweat of their brow may be readily repeated by Negroes throughout the United States, provided they are willing to pay the city for the blessings of the open country and make their essential interests harmonize with the interests of the best white people. Booker T. Washington and other Negro leaders took part in the opening ceremonies for the Pasoo Y. M. C. A., which was opened for Negro men November 22. The new building, which is on the Pasoo between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, represented a total cost of about one hundred thousand dollars, and is thoroughly modern and complete. R. B. DeFrantz, the secretary of the new building, worked out an elaborate opening ceremonial that lasted from November 22 to 29. A playground institute has been organized in Cleveland, O., to train workers for the local playgrounds and recreation centers. Dr. A. E. Patterson, director of the department of hygiene in the public schools, started the work. Returns from the several American consulates and agencies in Australia show an aggregate export trade to the United States during 1913 to the value of $13,159,470, compared with $10,988,747 in 1912; to the Philippine islands, $2,759,604, compared with $3,001,113; to the Hawaiian islands, $514,960, compared with $377,748. The population of Belfast is slightly under four hundred thousand, and in the entire province, some of the remote parts of which are unsuited to motor cars, there are only about one million seven hundred and fifty thousand people. As an indication of the initiative, the industry and the capability of Negroes, it is reliably reported that more than ten thousand business enterprises in this country are owned, controlled and operated by Negroes. In California there are 350,000 acres on which grape vines are growing; 170,000 planted to wine grapes; 11,000 to raisin grapes and 50,000 to table grapes. It is said that a noted British entomologist recently paid $1,000 for a rare specimen of flea which is occasionally found in the fur of the sea otter. The population of New York city was estimated a year ago at 5,333,537, a gain since the regular census of 566,654. In Stockholm the street-car conductors sell hatpin protectors for a halfpenny aplece to all women who wish to buy. The fireside appeals to the older members of the family. Here they gather to talk of the past. Very little planning for the future and only a spare use of books and papers. In fact, there is nothing to interest the younger generation of today. The old, unpainted, ill-constructed house called home has ceased to be attractive to the boy or girl who has attended school and learned something of modern living. In most cases his thoughts turn immediately to the city, where his brothers have caught the spirit of modern life, live in better houses and have some of the comforts of modern life. Is it any wonder he leaves the farm for the city? And in proportion as these young Negroes leave the farm and flock to the cities "the problem" grows harder of solution. General observations show that the majority of the workers are careless and indifferent. The spirit of hope of interest in things living and growing seems to be dormant. A mere existence is all asked for or expected. There is no display of inventive genius, no saving and planning for the future. We again repeat that there are exceptions, but the above criticisms are absolutely true of the majority of our Negro farmers. And if it is true of those who own their farms, what must be the condition of those who rent? What can be said of the tenant farmer? Where directed by some intelligent owner whom he respects and has confidence in he does well, but in most cases his condition and that of his large family is pitiful. A mere child in mind, a man in body, he works and works, and yet accomplishes nothing. This condition can be stopped to his advantage and to the advantage of the landlord. Common sense, business and humanity demand a change. The second annual meeting of the Philadelphia branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was held at the Friends' Meeting house, Fifteenth and Race streets, Philadelphia. The reports of the work of the association revealed that considerable had been accomplished during the year in behalf of the colored race in that city. It was shown that in several cases discrimination in moving-picture shows, theaters and restaurants efforts to safeguard the Negro had been met with success and in one instance a damage suit had been won against the proprietor of a moving-picture show. The meeting listened to addresses by Miss K. M. Johnson, traveling representative of the National association, and Miss May Childs Nerney, national secretary of New York. The officers elected for the ensuing year: President, Ellwood Heacock; vice-presidents, Dr. J. Max Barber, Mrs. S. W. Layton; secretary, Isadore Martin; treasurer, R. R. Porter, Bradford. Executive committee. Hon. George H. White, R. R. Wright, Mrs. Mary Murdah, James G. Davis, Rabbi Ell Mayer, Bishop J. S. Caldwell, Rev. E. W. Moore, Miss Francis Bartholomew, Mrs. Addie W. Dickerson, Dr. J. Max Barber, Ellwood Heacock, Mrs. S. W. Layton, Isadore Martin. To solve the problem of disposing of the dead, a famous German architect proposes to erect in the chief cities immense pyramids, each of which would hold the ashes of 1,000,000 cremated bodies. President Wilson gave strong encouragement to southern colored men who are promoting an exposition in Richmond next year commemorating the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro by accepting an invitation to visit the exposition and make an address. A large delegation, headed by Giles Jackson of Richmond, president of the exposition, and Judson W. Lyons of Augusta, former register of the treasury, representing the Negro Historical and Industrial association, under whose auspices the exposition is to be held, called on the president and extended the invitation. In accepting, the president said that he wished the exposition every success. The president was told that the progress of the Negro in the last 50 years would be fittingly celebrated at Richmond, and that this progress was shown in the fact that in the state of Virginia alone the Negroes pay taxes on $34,000,000 of property, church and school and similar properties not included. Nine-tenths of the fire loss of this country is caused by carelessness. The Sarino (Ont.) Canadian says that "Thomas Collins of the first concession of Biddulph township, who is ninety-nine and one-half years old, has just commenced taking music lessons." In the course of one year more than six thousand persons were identified by their finger prints in the London police court. American "cowboy" pictures continue to captivate Spanish children, and even the whole public. Fundamental Principles of Health RADIANT ENERGY AND DISEASE. So tenaciously do the legends of our forefathers cling to us that even yet it is the common belief that all our ills are of external origin, the result of some malignant power which takes possession of us by capture and can be overcome only by the introduction into our bodies of the appropriate antagonist in quantity sufficient to neutralize and beat down the unhealthful conditions. Every discovery seems to prove that the truth is always simple, but because our powers of observation are poorly trained and our knowledge of the universe is very slight we go blundering along, ever seeking some miracle for the relief of our ills, blind to the fact that health is simply a matter of being in accord with the balance of the universe. The truth of this is proved by the fact that in the final analysis all our diseases are found to originate in some deficiency, because we ignore some simple natural requirement which breaks the normal continuity of the vital chain binding every living unit into a nicely balanced reciprocating machine. "The scientific world has come to believe that the primary sources of natural energy by virtue of which the universe keeps going over immense periods of time are to be found not in the great masses of glowing matter dotting the heavens, nor in any of the relations between energy and matter in bulk, but in the reactions between the individual atoms out of which bulk is made up." Just so, too, our health, happiness and efficiency are the direct products of the natural operation of the individual cells of which we are composed. And anything which disturbs the natural relations between these minute individuals is certain to result in some form of variation which we usually call ill health We have noted that variations in plant growth take place under different colored lights because plants have the inherited capacity to develop normally only under white light. But there has been very little research work done along these lines for the purpose of determining why these variations occur. Probably the most significant facts in this connection are to be found in the discoveries of Dr. J. R. Green, who in 1897 showed that light had an appreciable effect on the formation and action of the enzymes in plants and that the red and blue rays favored the formation of the enzymes, while the green, the indigo and the violet, and especially the ultraviolet, rays destroyed them. He also made the striking suggestion that "vegetable structures have a power of absorbing radiant energy which is not connected with the presence and activity of chlorophyll." The very recent discoveries of Mme. Henri and others as to the effects of light rays on micro-organisms are steps along this line which promise much relief to suffering humanity by emphasizing the effects, on light rays on life in general. There is an old saying to this effect: "Where the sun does not enter the doctor must." This would seem to prove that we instinctively recognize our dependence on sunlight, but with that peculiar perversity which leads us to ignore the obvious and go at our evil wrong end to, we persistently continue the pursuit of an intangible "cure," some miracle working drug or serum which will have the power of reversing natural law and enabel us completely to ignore natural forces. We know tuberculosis to be essentially a deficiency disease, the ultimate result of insufficient food and air and light. The only known successful method of controlling the disease consists in supplying the missing factors by a simple substantial diet and living out of doors. Prevention, not cure, is the modern weapon against this scourge, and prevention consists in sufficient food, air and light. If all living things are subject to the same laws then it would be reasonable to infer that Doctor Green's hint that "vegetable structures have a power of absorbing radiant energy which is not connected with the presence and activity of chlorophyll" may have a parallel in the human body, and perhaps we, too, may have a power of absorbing radiant energy not connected with the presence and activity of hemoglobin, our oxygen carrying substance analogous to chlorophyll in the plant. This appears to be true in a measure, if satisfactory improvements in tubercular conditions secured under direct sun rays are noted. A method of treatment by means of prolonged exposure of the naked body to solar rays has been found particularly helpful for tuberculosis of the bones, joints and ganglia. The new treatment is called hellotherapy and has been found not only particularly helpful in tubercular diseases, but has also met with marked success in other diseases. In a general sense the healing vir- tues of sunlight have been recognized from the dawn of human history and are embodied in a thousand myths and legends, but the facts have been steadfastly ignored, while the whole world has sought for the fountain of youth. It has remained for our own generation to discover that direct sunlight is not merely beneficial in stimulating the general health and raising the tone of mind and body, but that, as we shall later see, it possesses a therapeutic value in certain ailments which borders on the marvelous and forces us more and more to recognize that disease is the result of social and economic conditions. SUNLIGHT AND TUBERCULOSIS. Referring to certain worms and jelly-fish which contain chlorophyll, seek sunlight and give off oxygen in the light, but soon die if kept in the dark. Bunge writes: "It follows that a complete antithesis between interchange of force and matter in animals and plants does not exist; and it will be henceforth impossible to separate the physiological chemistry of the vegetable from that of the animal world. The more our knowledge of each section of science advances the more the two becomes fused together." There is a fundamental law that prevails throughout all departments of nature that nothing can come into being that is not demanded by the conditions at the time. There is, in other words, a reason for everything, and investigation to the point of understanding invariably proves every phenomenon to be very simple. Ordinarily the sun is looked on by the average individual with interest only when it is undergoing eclipse, but the botanist who has reduced plant culture to almost a science knows that the sun is the most vital factor in life. The botanist knows by experience that if his plants do not receive sufficient sunlight they become weakened and readily acquire all sorts of fungous diseases. There is no mystery about it at all. Also he knows that if the soil conditions are not normal sunlight alone will not protect his plants from diseases. All the conditions must be in harmony for normal results. Possibly taking the hint from the botanist, Professor Poncet of Lyons—the first person systematically to employ heliotherapy, a method of treating surgical tuberculosis by means of direct sunlight—began to use the direct sun rays in the treatment of tubercular joint infections in 1892 and not only used the method freely in his personal practice, but impressed the value of solar exposure upon all his pupils. In 1899 the definite statement was made that Professor Poncet believed the beneficial effects from the exposure of tubercular infections to solar rays extended not only to tubercular bones, ganglia and the like, but also to tuberculosis of the internal organs. It is interesting here to note that Dr. Alexis Carrel began his surgical studies as interne under Professor Poncet and it is not unreasonable to infer that the influence of Professor Poncet's initiative may have spurred Doctor Carrel into original work. Doctor Rollier, a Swiss physician of Leysin, became an ardent advocate of the treatment and secured marvelous results from the use of direct sun rays on tubercular infections in patients among the snow covered peaks of Switzerland. Doctor Oelsnuit of Nice reports the treatment useful in tuberculosis peritonitis. Doctor Emmett of Philadelphia and Doctor Snequireff of Moscow report excellent results from sun rays in acute muscular rheumatism. Direct sunlight is declared to be beneficial in infected wounds, and Doctor Aimes of Montpelier reports that the treatment bastens the formation of scar skin on burns, which usually heal very slowly. Further confirmation of the results of the treatment comes from Doctor Bardenhauer of Cologne. Doctor Bardenhauer had long been a champion of the knife in external tuberculosis, and in 1911 he undertook to "control" Doctor Roller's experiments to test their value. The results obtained were so satisfactory that he introduced the system of heliotherapy into his hospital practice. Doctor Hinsdale, writing in the Interstate Medical Journal, describes the treatment as follows: "The patient is clothed in linen or white flannel, according to the season; he wears a white hat and is protected from direct sunlight on the face by a screen and wears smoked or yellow glasses. And now comes the peculiar and interesting method of the exposure. It makes no difference where the disease is located, whether in the hip, the spine or the cervical glands, the invariable rule is to begin with the feet. The next day the legs will be exposed; the third day the thighs. On the fourth day the abdomen is exposed; the fifth the thorax. Finally on the sixth or seventh day he exposes the neck and head with careful supervision." The treatment is reported to be very effective in tubercular hip, joint and knee diseases, especially in the latter, because in such cases not only is the infection destroyed and the wound healed, but the joint remains mobile, a result always lacking where surgical interference is resorted to. Also it is reported effective in tubercular peritonitis, acute muscular rheumatism and trachoma, a very infectious granular inflammation of the mucous lining of the eyelids and the outside of the eye. But it is not necessary to go to the mountains for treatment, for the sun shines everywhere. Boost Colorado Products ZANG'S NOW O GUARANTED Delivered Daily The Ph.

COLORADO NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Uncle Sam Is Planning the Biggest Rose Garden WASHINGTON.—Uncle Sam is planning the biggest and prettiest rose garden in the world at his flower gardens near Arlington. "The American Rose society last spring completed arrangements to cooperate with the de to the Washington-Virginia trolley line. The garden already contains about three hundred and twenty varieties, but there are many hundreds not yet included, and eventually the site can accommodate as many as 2,000 varieties, if they can be secured. "The garden makes an interesting show place for visitors to Washington. The roses are arranged, as far as possible, according to parentage. Teas and hybrid-teas, for instance, have a bed to themselves, as have hybrid-perpetuals. As far as practicable the roses are arranged also according to color. A fence six feet high, in which climbing roses will grow, is to surround the garden. The walks are of turf, and the plan has been to use a different kind of grass in each walk. There will be rose canopies on the corners and at the entrances. A summer house will stand at the most commanding point, where a view of the whole collection may be obtained. "Any grower of roses who thinks he has roses not already in the collection has been invited by the society to contribute a plant." Ordinance of Secession Is Restored to Louisiana Ordinance of Secession Is Restored to Louisiana N EXECUTION of the provisions of an act of the recent session of congress, Adjutant General McCain has restored to the state of Louisiana the ordinance of secession passed by the legislature of that state January 26, 1861, which was seized by the Union cession ordinances that the government possessed. Different stories exist as to the means by which the relic reached the capital. It is believed that General Butler when he captured New Orleans seized all the official papers he could find and sent them to Washington. It is probable the old brown tube containing its message came north with other trophies of the war. As far as the record shows, the ordinance first came to light after the war in a drawer of Lieutenant Colonel Corbin's desk, in the adjutant general's office. It was delivered to Major General Davis, now retired, in 1895, and from him it went to the secretary of war, who ordered it restored to the archives of the adjutant general's office. The parchment is yellow with age but in excellent condition and perfectly legible, though some of the signatures are a bit faded. The text is divided into two parts—in English on the left and in French on the right. Antiquarians and students of history have frequently sought permission to copy the quaint old document. Perfect Babies Wanted for Exhibit in Washington Perfect Babies Wanted for Exhibit in Washington ANNOUNCEMENT of a perfect baby contest is made by officials of the Washington Diet Kitchen association. With this announcement the association made an appeal for more funds for the conduct of its six infant welfare sta Though the stations were formed primarily to supply milk, they gradually assumed a much wider scope until the name "milk station" was superseded by that of "infant welfare station." Even this term does not express the varied nature of the services performed. For not only infant diet, but cooking conferences for grown-ups, classes for "little mothers," lessons in household economics, and many phases of household management, hygiene and sanitation are imparted to mothers. At present the interest of the mothers and workers alike is centered on the second annual baby contest in January. Only babies registered two months in advance will be considered. This year a general prize, a medal, will be given to the best baby of all those entered. Another prize, of $25 in gold, will be awarded to the most nearly perfect baby among those from the milk stations. Congressional Club Occupies Its Fine New Home THE new home of the Congressional club, at New Hampshire avenue and U street northwest, is completed and has been occupied by the club. The new structure cost about $30,000, exclusive of the property, which was donated to the club by Mrs. John B. brary, retirement rooms, and cloakrooms. The major portion of the second floor is devoted to a large clubroom, which is about one and a half stories high, taking in the mezzanine floor. The dining room is also located on this floor. On the third floor are the kitchens, servants' quarters and storerooms. One of the features of the clubhouse will be the circular stairway, which is to be very handsome. The women of the Congressional club are exceedingly proud of their new home, and it will be the scene of many a social function during the season. The club is a nonpolitical organization, the members being the wives or other female relatives of present or past members of congress.

STAR OF THE STAFF STAR OF THE STAFF By A. ELLIS HENEBERGER. Morrison was about as likely a cub as ever drifted into the office of the Madison World with lofty ideas of the "journalistic profession" and a firm resolve some day to set the nation afame. It is true that he was a little taken aback when, after a month of probation, he was placed on the "salary list" at ten dollars a week, but he had read somewhere that Dana was once a city editor at little more, and he took courage. Duffy, the managing editor, told him he was to be congratulated on getting any salary at all in so short a time. "Why, on the New York —," he tokl Morrison, "college students serve six months without pay, and are glad of the opportunity. Anyway, you haven't caught the World style. Watch Snead's articles and you'll get a line on what we want." Snead was the star of the staff, and Morrison always regarded him enviously as he came in from an assignment and tote off reams of stuff that was practically railroaded to the composing-room with scarce a touch of the editor's pencil. Snead put no discount on his own work. There was but one man in the World editorial rooms who did not share Duffy's opinion of his pupil—for Snead himself had been a cub under Duffy. That was Billings, who handled the telegraph. When in a good humor he had been known to chuckle over some of it. At other times he might have been heard to mutter, "Slush." It was a bleak day in January. A heavy snow had fallen, blockading the car lines and putting business to the bad all over town. Snead tramped into the office with the police reports, which he threw in a heap on Duffy's desk for inspection, and settled himself to write an article on East Side distress. Duffy glanced the reports through, and entered the various assignments on his book. This completed, the reporters came forward to receive instructions for the day. "You, Morrison," he said, "look up this distress case. Take it down: Mrs. Edith M. Lindeman, 1125 Calvert street; two children; without food two days. Here's an order on the cashler. Buy her food and wood if she needs it; and write a half column, sure." Morrison sallied forth that morning, armed with the office currency, and fought his way through the snowdrifts toward the East side. It was a peculiarity of the town that one might find wealth and squalor side by side even in what was known as the "exclusive section." But it must be confessed that Morrison was somewhat nonplussed when he read the number 1125 on the door of a veritable mansion. "Here's the devil to pay," thought the reporter as he consulted his notes again. But there were the figures staring him in the face. A maid, neatly attired in cap and apron, answered his ring. Yes, Mrs. Lindeman lived there, and what was his business, please. He felt like a fool as he blurted it out. "A mistake, of course," he finished, with a laugh. "Quite a natural one, though," said a quiet voice behind the maid. A woman, evidently the mistress, came forward. She was a strikingly handsome young woman, but her eyes were very sad. "Marie," she continued, "this gentleman no doubt is looking for that Italian family in the rear. I had no idea they were in such straits. It is the rear of 1125 you want. The maid will show you." Guided by Marie, Morrison entered an alleyway which emerged on another running just behind the Lindeman house. Ascending a flight of rickety steps, he brought up at the door of a squalid tenement An hour later a groceryman and a wood-dealer had relieved the immediate wants of the Sonnatini family, and Morrison, with two receipts made out to the World, was hurrying to the office to write the story of his life. Duffy was knee-deep in copy, but he liked that. He handled all the "local," and kept the linotype operators crying for quarter most of the time. Morrison had finished his story and was off on another assignment. Snead was grinding out a suicide, with the usual tear trimmings. Duffy weeded out the copy rapidly, casting the "slop," as he called it, right and left and piling up the spicy matter for the regular two o'clock edition. Morrison's Sonnatiin story came in for rapid perusal and immediate disfavor. "D—n that cub!" muttered Duffy. "Come on, Sned," he called out. "Cut that story off. I've got a good one for you." He caught up the assignment-book. "Take this down: Mrs. Edith M. Lindeman—got that? 1125 Calvert street—two children—husband missing—starving—World sent supplies. Throw a good heart-throbb into it. "Hey, Jimmie," to the office-boy, "tell the foreman these receipts go on the first page with story; De Vinne caps, in box! Now hustle, Snead! Tear that off as quick as you can." Morrison got it when he returned. "Now look here, my boy," said Duffy. "You've got to brace up. Get a little style into your stuff. That story of yours would be all very well on the News, for instance, but it won't go here. I had it rewritten. Here is the story as seen through Mr. Snead's eyes." Do You Know That- Morrison was deeply humiliated. He took the copy mechanically and returned to his desk. His glance fell on the manuscript. Interest, surprise, amazement, gave place to suppressed but unholy mirth. Snead's article read: "Thank God!" cried Mrs. Edith M. Lindeman of 1125 Calvert street, "My children will live!" In a home made desolate by the desertion of a husband, with gaunt hunger stalking at the door, with two tots weak from want of the bare necessities of life, a reporter for the World appeared this morning, and in the twinkling of an eye that dreary abode was changed into a haven of comfort. The COLORADO STATESMAN It was a pathetic story that Mrs. Lindeman had to tell of a husband untrue to his vow to protect her, who had abandoned her heart of a cruel winter and left his family. Tears flowed down the woman's cheeks as she recited the story of his perfidy. "God knows," she told the reporter, "I was a good wife to him." There was more—about half a column more—of harrowing details, but Morrison had had enough. His mind was firmly made up. Walking to Duffy's desk, he laid down the copy. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF "Very good indeed, Mr. Duffy," he said quietly. "But if I could write like that I wouldn't be working for you at ten dollars a week." JOB PRINTING "For God's sake, Edith, what sort of a ghastly joke is this?" Andrew K. Lindeman, broker and clubman, stood in the drawing-room of his former home in Calvert street, hat and gloves in his hand. He flourished a copy of the World excitedly. The woman took it in silence. As she read the head-lines her face was a study. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY "The idiots!" she cried. Then the ridiculousness of the thing struck her; and she laughed outright. "You didn't really think we were starving here, did you, Andrew?" she said, when she had recovered her breath. "And did you really care? Strange! I thought you had forgot ten you had a wife or children," and her eyes regarded him sorrowfully. "That's right," said the man bitterly. "Blame it all on me." "It's the Sonnatinis, in the rear. A reporter came here this morning; but I saw him myself. I can't imagine how the mistake occurred." Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. "Well, I'll have something to say over there in the morning. Good-by. I'm going back to the hotel, Edith." The woman looked at him wistfully, but said nothing. He had almost reached the door when there was a shout, and two white-gowned tots rushed through the hall and were caught in their father's arms. "Daddy! Daddy!" they cried in delight. "You's doin' to stay, daddy," cried one curly-head, "cause mamma said you was when you came back." "Does mamma want me to stay, do you think, Mildred?" "Oh, yes, daddy. I heard mamma ask Dod to send you home to her." An instant later daddy was holding a half-faint but happy woman in his arms. We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. Duffy was crushed; the business manager was wild; the entire town of Madison was in hysterics. Wilson, the business manager, had caught the edition, but only after some five thousand papers had reached the streets. "Nobody but a _____ fool would have made such a bull," he stormed. "Lindeman, a well-known broker; wife lives in a palace; footman, coachman, automobiles, and all that sort of thing. "Why, it'll cost us $10,000 even to compromise it. Didn't anybody in this d—d office recognize the name? By Gad, I'll cripple the staff. I'll discharge every man—" Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction The telephone bell stopped him. Wilson was standing near by, and he jerked the receiver off the hook. "Eh? Mr. Lindeman? What's that? Oh, yes, I'll send him over right away. Mr. Lindeman, this is Wilson, business manager. I'm going to see you—How? Never mind? I assure you, Mr.—All right, sir." "Duffy, get hold of that young Morrison and send him to Lindeman's office at once. Tell him to explain the whole business. We've got to throw ourselves on his mercy. "Give the story a two-column display—same place as the other—first edition. Gad, what a lot of fat-heads," and Wilson withered the staff with his glance as he strode toward the elevator. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver An hour later, Morrison entered the office, smiling. "It's all right, Mr. Duffy. Mr. Lindeman says for you people to rest easy. He won't sue. He's satisfied to let the matter drop. "Oh, by the way, Mr. Duffy. I've got to quit you. Sorry, too, but Mr. Lindeman has offered me a job." Just then the elevator stopped at the office floor. Morrison took it. "D—n that cub!" murmured Duffy. One Long Record of Wars. The first accounts we have of mankind are but so many accounts of their butcheries. All empires have been cemented in blood; and, in those early periods, when the race of mankind began first to form themselves into parties and combinations, the first effect of the combination, and indeed the end for which it seems purposely formed, and best calculated, was their mutual destruction. One thing, however, is clear—there were conquerors and conquests in those days; and, consequently, all that devastation by which they are formed, and all that oppression by which they are maintained.—Burke TOM LEWIS, Prop.

NOT startlingly new in style, but delightfully effective, this trim afternoon gown of panne velvet shows an adaptation of modes to material that commends it to the woman of taste. The use of the new fur-cloths, lightweight plushes and long-napped panne velvets in entire dresses is an innovation which furnishes novelty enough for those who value it above all else. The bodice and sleeves of the model appear to be cut in one, although the sleeves are long and close fitting about the forearm. They taper to the wrist and extend in a rounded point over the hands. A ruffle of the material, doubled, finishes the edges of the bodice at the front and across the back. In many dresses of napped or pile fabrics narrow borders of fur are used for finishing edges. The upper part of the skirt is set on to the bodice, overlapping the front and extending up in a square tab at For Motoring in Crisp Weather ```markdown ``` THEATRE TIMULATED by that special inspiration which seems to cone to the help of the designer of trousseau, he maker of the motor bonnet and oat pictured here has distinguished himself. All brides, and other fair ladies, who elect to go a-motoring in crisp weather, will only need to copy his cold-weather outfit to assure themselves of comfort. One need not look twice to see how very attractive t is. The heavy, enveloping coat of zibline is cut on rather straight lines, caring enough to be roomy and ample. The straight sleeves are large enough to be easily slipped on, and finished with turnback cuffs and a huge oblong bone button. The wide, square collar is arranged to button up about the neck and roll over, or to lie flat over the shoulders, according to the desire of the wearer. The coat fastens a little to one side of the front with large bone buttons. There is a good range of heavy cloths to choose from for coats of this character. It includes boucle cloth. the left side. At the bottom this upper part of the skirt is hemmed in a wide hem. The lower part is cut separately and set on under the hem. This makes a one-piece garment with the effect of a short tunic, and shapes the skirt prettily to the figure. The very wide, crushed girdle is made of the same material as the dress and tacked about it below the waist line. It fastens in with the bodice at the left side. A double ruffle of plaited lace fills in the neck, and frills of the same finish the sleeves. The gown is in taupe color, worn with patent leather shoes having tan cloth tops, and a black velvet turban. A long ornamental bar pin is fastened below the bosom. For materials, the body of plush and velvet, simple and trim lines, should be exacted of the modiste. ```markdown ``` Ural lamb, chinchilla and fancy mixtures. The ready-made garments embody more style and are cut on simpler lines than has been the rule for several seasons. One cannot expect to get better results in a made-to-orde coat than those to be found in the displays of reliable houses showing motor and sports coats. Heavy cloths, plushes, satin and novelty weaves are used for motor bonnets. Practically all of them have soft puffed crowns. That in the picture is of satin, with warm interlining and thin silk lining. At the front a lined band of uncut velvet is trimmed in points. A frill of plaited satin falls like a cap about the face. The very long chiffon veil is shirred into a cap that veils the satin crown. But there is ample length to bring the ends over the face, around the neck and to tie them in front, so affording ample protection. Braid and button ornaments make just the right finish for this exceptionally fine motor bonnet.
