PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Return Of Moose To Re- publicans In 1916 VOL. XX1. Return Moose T publica Chicago, Dec. 1, 1914.—Analysis of the election returns in 1914 shows the voters expressed their returning confidence in the Republican party, according to United States Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman in an address before the Hamilton Club yesterday. Senator Sherman said the increased vote polled by the Republican party in all states from New York to Iowa with the possible exception of Indiana, shows the voters are turning back to the fold from the Progressive party. He predicted a general Republican victory in 1916. Senator Sherman reviewed the differences between the two factions of the Republican party which resulted in the birth of the Progressive party. SEES PROGRESSIVES BACK IN FOLD Discussing the increased Republican vote in 1914, Senator Sherman said: "It was because the Republican voter, when approached in a spirit of fairness exercised his reasoning powers and not his prejudices. He saw clearly that the division of the Republican vote in 1912 placed in power a minority party in both branches of Congress and in the White House. By our division we placed in power a political party that was a million and a half short of being a majority party. In 1914 the Republican voter frankly realized this and by his action retraced his steps. "Roosevelt in 1912 had 386,000 votes in this state and Taft had 253,000 in round figures, a difference of 133,000 votes. The head of the ticket in Illinois in 1914 had 377,000 as against 253,000 in 1912. a gain of 124,000 votes. This practically is a 50 per cent return of the Republicans." TAKES FILING AT ROOSEVELT. Senator Sherman paid his respect to Roosevelt in the following shaft: ```markdown ``` "We have no words of unkindness for our late nominee, the Bull Moose politician, none in the world. Like a good many things, he is a necessary evil, and he is much less of an evil outside the party, God knows, than inside. If he wishes to return the way is open and we will welcome him with open arms, and if there is any fatted calf around I would be in favor of giving him a veal steak." Senator Sherman said President Wilson was to be commended for his efforts to keep this country at peace. He pointed out, however, that the United States passed through the Crimean, the Franco-Prussian, and the Russian Japanese wars without getting into embarrassing situations. GOES ON RECORD FOR BIG NAVY The Illinois statesman went on record as favoring a big increase in our army and navy. He decried the custom of loading the army and navy propriations. On this point he said: "We have not enough battleships now, if through the aggression of other nations war should ensue, for our necessary defense. We have not enough now in the regular army to make drillmasters for our soldiers drawn from our ranks of peace, and that is not a safe condition. "I believe in saving every dollar of our receipts and putting the money in the strengthening of our government, not limited necessarily by two bartleships a year, with all the auxiliary force to support an increase of the navy. "I favor, if necessary to bring our government to a sufficient strength to protect our coast line and our insular possessions to build four battleships a year until we have our navy raised to the necessary fighting strength any time that we need it. When we get this the army and navy will furnish the basis for our necessary national defenses in event that other nations are not so enamored of peace as we are." NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS FURNISHED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSI- NESS LEAGUE. A thought for the Week.—In urging the colored people of Dayton, Ohio, to organize and support Negro business enterprises, the Lexington (Ky.)

Banks, cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou, which some time ago closed its doors, is giving stockholders and depositors the equivalent of their bank holdings in stock of the Mound Bayou Oil Mill, a successful enterprise of which he is the managing director. Invitations were recently extended to V. H. Tulane, cashier of the Montgomery Branch of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, and J. O. Diffay, president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, at Birmingham, to attend the meeting of the Alabama State Bankers Association which convened in the State Capitol at Montgomery. Every courtesy was extended to these well known colored bankers and they entered heartily into the deliberations of that progressive body. Local Negro Business Leagues have been or are being organized in the following cities: Springfield, Mo., Binghampton, N. Y., Champaign, Ill., Rockville, Ind., and St. Paul, Minn. Joseph Douglass, grandson of the late Frederick Douglass, and eminent American violinist, has been engaged by the Victor Talking Machine Company to produce for them a series of records. The Progressive Manufacturing Company is the name of a hoisery mill soon to de established at Burlington, N.C. It is reported that prominent and influential colored people are behind the movement and that much of the stock has been placed. Dr. Matilda A Evans, of Columbia, S.C., who probably has the largest practice of any colored physician in the State, has recently erected a hospital in that city. The opening of the hospital cele- brated her seventeenth anniversary as a practicing physician. J. H. Henderson & Son, successful contractors and builders of Piqua, Ohio, have been awarded the contract for building Central Hall, the new $20,000 building of the Curry Institute at Urbana, Ohio. HOTEL WA1TER HONORED New York, Dec. 1. After a service of many years in the Broadway Central Hotel, in this city. Mr. Charles Tyson resigned in order to give his time and experience to a new enterprise for the accommodation of the traveling public. New York has for years stood solely in need of an up-to-date hotel for our people, and now we have it. It will be known as the Parker House, located on 53d street, near 8th avenue, and is already proving a great success. A few nights ago a large delegation of white citizens, made up in the main of bankers and brokers, who are patrons of the Broadway Central Hotel, accompanied by the proprietor, called upon him and presented him with a huge loving cup and insisted that he return to their service Overcome by his evidence of devotion, Mr. Tyson yielded, turned the management of the Parker House over to his business partner and returned to those who honored him with such devotion. None were sadder when "Cap Ty" left nor gladder when he returned than the waiters and help under his control. He enjoys the love and respect of everyone and controls them most easily by first winning their admiration. Might Imitate the Squirrel. The squirrel is able to tell a good from a bad nut, man has to bite into the nut and get a bad taste before he knows of his error. The squirrel always stores up food for the winter he knows is coming. Is that instinct? If so then 10 per cent of the men of today should go back to instinct, and not go to the wall every time anything happens that turns their regular income in the wrong direction. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Boston. Mass., Dec. 2.—Through the late William Endicott, one of the oldest citizens of Boston, the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama receives a bequest of $5,000. The Texas Commercial Film company of Houston, Texas, is endeavoring to enlist the financial co-operation of the leading colored men of that community in a project to produce a three reel film depicting the progress of the Negro race in that section of Texas. Washington, D. C., Dec. 2.—The United States Supreme Court, on November 30, handed down a decision upholding indictments for peonage against two Alabama planters who held a Negro to work out a court fine. The court decided that convicts held under "criminal contracts" to work out their fines and costs, with persons who appear in court as their financial sponsors were held in peonage. Boston, Mass. Dec. 2.—Mme. E. Azalia Hackley directed a Folk Song Festival Monday night at Symphony Hall, in which a chorus of 200 voices sang a program of folk song, the composers all being Negroes. It was the first folk song festival in the New England states. R. Nathaniel Dett, pianist and Clarence Cameron White, violinist, were the soloists. The affair was a splendid success. The proceeds were for the benefit of the Columbus Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church, Boston, and the Hackley Normal Vocal Institute, Chicago, which is directed and managed by Mme. Hackley. Mme. Hackley will produce a folk song festival for the people of Springfield, Ill., and will return to Chicago to open her vocal institute about the middle of December. Chicago, Dec. 1- Although sentenced to imprisonment for life by Judge Kerstein in the Criminal Court yesterday, Simon Hogan, a Negro created a scene by throwing his arms about the lawyer, Charles E Erbstein, and offering prayers because his life had been saved. All the way back to jail Hogan insisted on crying out his prayers of thankfulness. Hogan was accused of the murder of Policeman George Trumbull and the shooting of Policeman Michael McFadden. August 17, 1914, the accused ran amuck in the Negro belt of the South Side. A furious battle followed and Trumbull was killed. McFadden made a rush to the side of his brother officer and he tooc was shot. The accuse1 started for court yesterday convinced that the death sentence was to be passed on him, but the state agreed to permit the defendant to enter a plea of guilty. Boston, Mass., Dec. 2.—In an important case tried before the United States District Court on November 19, Judge Morton presiding, William H. Lewis, former assistant United States district attorney won a signal victory. The case was that of John A. Fish of New York City, tried for the second time on the charge of burning his yacht for the purpose of collecting $15,000 insurance money. The first trial, with another lawyer, resulted in a conviction for Fish, with a sentence of five years at Atlanta. Lewis appeared before the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals and argued for a reversal of judgment and sentenced and secured a new trial. In the second trail Lewis was pitted against former United States District Attorney French, who was his old chief. The jury, after being out 22 hours, returned a verdict of not guilty and Judge Morton ordered Fish discharged from custody. He had been under a bail of $10,000. Chicago, Ill., Dec. 1.—A young Negro from the South, speaking twenty-two languages, according to his claims, Frederick Doughlass Berger has been posing among the Jews of the West Side as a black Hebrew, under the name of David Itchock, and it is said that he was so clever in backing up his claims that many of the prominent Jews of this city were deceived. He might have gone on without exposure if he had not been arrested for criminal assault, the charge being made by Clara Merriweather, a 14-year-old girl living at 4058 South Federal street, who is the mother of a child resembling Berger. He claims that it was his intention to teach the girl Hebrew and then marry her that she might aid him in the deception which he was practicing. He was arrested in 1913, and the case finally came to the court of Judge McDonald, who discovered the imposture. Berger's parents are said to be Mr. and Mrs John Thomas Berger living now at 1822 Elm street, Des Moines, Iowa, but coming originally from the South. He learned a number of the languages from foreigners working in the coal mines in Iowa. Customs and habits of foreign peoples he claims to have gotten familiar with from reading books at night.

Mail Orders Given Prompt and Careful Attention PARIS AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Negroes in Muskogee county, according to the city superintendent of schools, own and control 50,000 acres of valuable agricultural and oil land; they own city real estate in Muskogee that is worth $1,500,000. Their business concerns in Muskogee have a value of at least $1,000,000 and include one clothing store for men, one drygoods store, one ice company, one plumbing and plumbing supplies shop, six contractors and builders, 12 barber shops, three concrete contractors, 50 groceries, four drug stores, one harness shop, 20 restaurants, eight blacksmith shops, 12 shoe shops, 12 tailor shops, one dairy, two ice cream stores, ten coal dealers, two undertakers, one steam laundry, three livery stables, 12 real estate brokers, four cab lines, one moving picture theater, one bottling works. Muskogee has four fine schools for its Negro children. The boys in the Manual Training High school did all the carpentry work last year on a strictly modern, six-room cottage, 41 by 47 feet, worth $2,000 and renting for $20 a month when times are hard in Muskogee. The aggregate value of the Negro schools is $80,000 and 36 Negro teachers are employed in the public schools. That a prominent white Muskogeean, a public official, should know these facts concerning Negroes in business and other pursuits is in itself important, because it is a common occurrence to find that many, many of the best white people of the South do not know, and, therefore, cannot possibly understand, what the better Negroes are doing to reflect credit on themselves, their race and their community. "I firmly believe that there is a big field for the development of Negro music in America," writes Jesse Rees Europe, Negro musical composer, of New York, "we already have a number of composers of great ability, the two foremost being Harry Burleigh and Will Marion Cook. Mr. Burleigh is remarkable for his development of Negro themes and Mr. Cook is a true creative artist. Then, of course, there was Coleridge Taylor, the greatest composer of the Negro race, although much of his music is not Negro in character. What the Negro needs is technical education, and this he is handicapped in acquiring. I myself have had to pick up my knowledge of music here and there, and the same holds true of my fellow composers. I do not believe that the Negro at present should attempt music distinctively Caucasian in type. The symphony, for instance, he does not really feel as a white musician would feel it. I believe it is in the creation of an entirely new school of music, a school developed from the basic Negro rhythms and melodies. The Negro is essentially a melodist, and his creation must be in the beautifying and enriching of the melodies which have become his. "The Negro's songs are the expression of the hopes and joys and fears of his race; were before the war the only method he possessed of answering back his boss. Into his songs he poured his heart, and, while the boss did not understand, the Negro's soul was calmed. These songs are the only folk music America possesses, and, folk music being the basis of so much that is most beautiful in the world, there is indeed hope for the art product of our race." A thrush has built its nest, laid three eggs, and in the natural course of events will, if undisturbed, rear its young on a scaffold pole at the secondary school for girls, England. The nest has been built at the junction of two poles. There are between 50 and 60 men working on the building, but the bird takes not the slightest notice of them. The National Women's Trades Union league is at the head of a movement to establish a national training school for women organizers, the object being to place trained organizers in the field to organize the women workers in all trades and occupations. The industrial commission of Ohio has issued its final report. It deals with the question of wages and hours of labor of women and girls employed in mercantile establishments in Ohio last year. A Russian publication has just put out its one hundredth issue after many difficulties. Twenty-five of the previous issues were confiscated for seditious articles. A Californian takes issue with the statement that the South station in Boston is the busiest railroad terminal and shows that the distinction belongs to the Union ferry, at San Francisco, with 39,955,573 passing through it annually. If Oklahoma has hamper crops this year it will be due in considerable measure to the direct aid rendered the farmers by the schools. Throughout the state the teachers and pupils have been systematically testing seeds or the planters. The men who are working for the education of the Negroes in the South always come North with a cheering word of the results. Of course there are two sides to every problem. It would be possible to point out all sorts of discouraging things about the situation of the Negroes. But men like Booker T. Washington leave the gloom for somebody else to talk about. They point out the wonderful achievements of the race in its comparatively brief opportunity—the number of land owners, the amount of savings, the conspicuous instances of Negroes who have won for themselves a respected place in the community. Such a man as J. M. Metcalf, president of the Talladega college for Negroes at Talladega, Ala., who was in Kansas City last week. Ask Mr. Metcalf what results his school has achieved and he can point to plenty of specific instances of graduates who have become successful citizens, as well as to the large number of wholesome homes that have been established. He can tell of the farms that have shown the effect of work done on the school farm, of the spread of alfalfa cultivation, of better methods in all the region. He can refer to graduates who have gone into business and have proved successful merchants; of others who have started savings banks and have instilled the habit of saving and of thrift among the people. He can find cheer for the Negroes even in the political situation in the South in the fact that Negroes of standing in Southern communities find no obstacles put in the way of their voting. This side of the problem is one that is often lost sight of. It needs to be emphasized for the cheer of the good Negro citizens who in all parts of the country are working for the advancement of their people.—Kansas City Star. There have been many Negro poets in America, but none having a strange and pathetic story which could in any way parallel that of Phyllis Wheatley, born in Senegal, Africa, November 19, 1751, though the day of the month may be doubted, if not the year. She was a child of Africa in a period when slave ships were supposed to be engaged in legitimate commerce, and transported many of the people to those colonies that long after became states which abolished slavery and led in the anti-slavery movement which was really the incipience of secession and the Civil war. Phyllis Wheatley was stolen from her parents and tribe, or sold by one or both of them, and was brought to America in 1761 and sold to Mrs. John Wheatley, wife of a Boston merchant. Her mistress soon discovered that the little girl was remarkably bright and gave her a fair education in English and Latin; and she could hardly more than read and write before she gave utterance to her imaginations in rhyme, doing so with ease and fluency. She went to London with a son of Mrs. Wheatley and there was published a volume of "Poems" dedicated to the countess of Huntington. Sparks, in his "Life of Washington, said it could not be doubted that the poems "exhibit the most favorable evidence on record of the capacity of the African intellect for improvement." On the death of her master and mistress, she married a colored man, Doctor Peters, who "proved unworthy," and she died in great poverty in 1784. William Houston, a colored man, saved the lives of four Brunswick women when, seeing the peril of the automobile party, he rushed up to the machine and shoved it across the railroad track just as a fast moving freight train swept past. In crossing the railroad track the machine was slowed down, and just as it mounted the rails the engine went "dead." The freight train was only about one hundred yards distant. The engineer signaled with the whistle, but the machine remained on the track. It was too close for the engineer to stop the train before reaching the machine. Houston, who was standing near by, rushed to the car, gave it one hard shove and it crossed the track by only a few inches as the train came by.—Brunswick (Ga.) Dispatch to New York Tribune. Among the defenses of the Panama canal there will be several batteries of 16 and 12-inch rifles, all of which will be concealed in such manner that, with the use of smokeless powder, it will be impossible for an enemy to locate them. Forty thousand dollars were spent in England on the production of a single moving picture film. Chile has spent $5,657,500 for 823 bridges on government railroads. Missouri's 94,461 trade unionists last year drew $85,019,855 in wages. France last year exported pleasure autos valued at $41,978,850. Musk costs $3.50 for one-eighth of an ounce in Manchuria.

London, Dec. 11.—Half a dozen German submarines made an attempt Thursday morning to enter the admiralty harbor of Dover, according to a Dover dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company, and for half an hour the batteries kept up a furious fusillade firing at least 200 shots. It is reported that two or three of the submarines were sunk but no confirmation of this can be obtained. The attempt was made under cover of early morning darkness and during a heavy rainstorm. The first alarm, says the dispatch, was given by the firing of a naval gun, and soon all the batteries were in action. Dover is opposite the French town of Calais and is one of the chief ports of communication between England and the continent. The admiralty harbor, comprising an area of 610 acres, is the finest harbor of refuge in the channel. Its construction was begun in 1898 and completed in 1900 at a cost of $17,500,000. The western limit of the older commercial harbor and the admiralty harbor is the admiralty pier. The commercial harbor is bounded on the east by the Prince of Wales pier, while the east arm of the admiralty harbor is built out from shore to the east of Dover, Castle. There are numerous forts guarding the entrance. The night was very dark and a heavy rain and haze made searchlight work difficult where the attack was reported to have been made. Fortunately the forts were put on the alert about 4 a.m. by the appearance off the harbor entrance of an unidentified steamer which refused to stop until a shot was fired across her bow. This vessel then retired. She is believed to have been the tender of the submarines. Half an hour later, it is said, a single submarine was sighted and one of the heavy guns in the harbor fired at her. This submarine, which evidently was the advance scout, disappeared, but at 6:30 the observers sighted what they believed to be a fleet of about six submarines, several miles out in the channel. The channel forts commenced firing in the direction of the supposed submarines and kept it up or almost half an hour. At the same time a torpedo boat destroyer flotilla put to sea where it remained all day. Large crowds gathered on the water front in the early morning hours and watched the searchlights and artillery fire. German Ship Doomed in Straits. Buenos Ayres.—The German cruiser Dresden, the only warship of Admiral Count von Spee's squadron to escape after the battle with the British squadron, under command of Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee, has been cornered in the Straits of Magellan, according to advices obtained through well-informed circles. The naval division commanded by Admiral Sturdee is understood to include nine warships, notably the British battle cruisers Lion and Indefatigable. The battle cruisers Lion and Indefatigable displace 26,350 tons and 18,750 tons, respectively. The Lion was built in 1910, is 680 feet long, $86\frac{1}{2}$ feet beam and has a draft of 30 feet. The Lion carries eight 13.5-inch guns and sixteen 4-inch guns and is equipped with three 21-inch torpedo tubes. Her complement consists of 1,000 men and she is capable of traveling 28 knots an hour. The battle cruiser Indefatigable is 578 feet long, $79\frac{1}{2}$ feet beam and $27\%$ feet draft. She was constructed at Davenport in 1911 and has a speed of 26 knots. The Indefatigable's armament consists of eight 12-inch guns, sixteen 4-inch guns and three 21-inch torpedo tubes. She has a complement of 800 officers and men. The official bureau announced that the German cruiser Nurnberg, one of the warships which escaped from the English in the engagement of the 8th, had been sunk. Shafroth Introduces Power Site Bill.

FIND HIGH GRADE ORE MILLION DOLLARS IN GOLD SEEN IN RICH STRIKE. Chamber of Sylvanite Ore Found in Working of Cresson Group of Mines at Cripple Creek. Cripple Creek.—One of the richest ore strikes in the annals of the Cripple Creek district is reported from the twelfth level in the main workings of the Cresson group, owned by the Cresson Consolidated Gold Mining & Milling Company, a closed corporation, with chief offices at Chicago. In running a cutoff from the ore vein a "vug" or chamber of high-grade sylvanite was discovered. This has been exploited to some extent, and conservative mine managers, who have had years of experience with sylvanite, declared that the stuff in sight is worth at least $1,000,000. How much more is beyond or within reach of this particular discovery it is not possible to estimate at present. This "vug" or chamber is similar in formation to the rich strikes in the "Little Jonny" at Leadville, in many of which the gold yield is $60 to the pound of material, which is usually "run down" in the assay office at the mine and shipped as bullion to the federal mint at Denver. The Cresson group, one of the best examples of systematic development in the district, covers some forty acres of patented claims on Raven and Bull hills and is surrounded by steady producers. Early in the year the Cresson company took over the Maggie group from which several sets of leasers made comfortable sums. The Cresson is capitalized at $1,000,000 and paid 30 per cent in dividends, or $300,000, in 1913. It will do quite as well this year, in addition to paying for the Maggie group of claims, which adjoin the Cresson proper. Capture Alleged Auto Thieves. Colorado Springs.—Brought to bay at the point of Winchester rifles, four Denver youths, sought by Denver and Douglas county authorities for the theft of two automobiles, were captured near Ramah, forty miles from Colorado Springs.

Moreover, Dr. Mason had his wife in Denver about two years ago, when he was said to have been conducting a sanitarium in North Denver, according to City Detective Lane. Three More Troopers Arrested. Walsenburg—F, V. Buff, T.

THE CHRISTMAS GIFT. The Christmas gift idea is so those will follow the course of the Christian which it is based. The character of it for the tendency to subject the religious clamor of popular fancy and fashion in giant indulgence may compel reforms. Gifts to members of one's family of an abiding affection, which, some satisfactorily express itself in any other gance in these gifts, however, is a deception in the illusion absorbed by the supply of gifts whose lavish distributi. The spirit of the gift and its usefulness and appreciated, rather than the imnight better be inculcated in the minion of a return gift or other reward. But the charity gift is the real Character, and in the sensation of satisfaction But by a charity gift we do not mean a pose. We all have intercourse of so greatly in need, what it will cost very ning and the giving of these things du more hearts than those of the recipi us is either too rich or too poor to en service performed without the asking a refusal to accept any, is just as gras mas gift as a millionaire's check or at the Christmas gift is that of the besto reward, except the thought that "it is gift idea is so thoroughly established in the Christian world as faithfully the character of the gift, however subject the religious form and theacy and fashion is not a good tool to compel reforms for society's sake of one's family or to friends and on, which, somehow, does not itself in any other way. The tree however, is a dangerous one, to be absorbed by the child that Sarah lavish distribution depends on, and its usefulness are the thing other than the intrinsic value. Located in the minds of the youth, or other reward has considerable gift is the real Christmas gift,isation of satisfaction to the gift we do not mean a hap-hazard an intercourse of some kind with, it will cost very little to provide of these things during the Christmas of the recipients burn with, or too poor to engage in this sort without the asking and without the try, is just as gracious and justaire's check or a glittering dianat of the bestowal of a benefit sought that "it is more blessed The Christmas gift idea is so thoroughly established that it undoubtedly will follow the course of the Christian world as faithfully as the religion upon which it is based. The character of the gift, however, may undergo change, for the tendency to subject the religious form and thought to the over-ruling clamor of popular fancy and fashion is not a good tendency, and its extravagant indulgence may compel reforms for society's sake. Gifts to members of one's family or to friends are very dear expressions of an abiding affection, which, somehow, does not quite so thoroughly or satisfactorily express itself in any other way. The tendency toward extravagance in these gifts, however, is a dangerous one, the error having its conception in the illusion absorbed by the child that Santa Claus has an endless supply of gifts whose lavish distribution depends only upon his good humor. The spirit of the gift and its usefulness are the things most to be considered and appreciated, rather than the intrinsic value. This conservative idea might better be inculcated in the minds of the young. The gift in expectation of a return gift or other reward has considerable less to commend it. But the charity gift is the real Christmas gift, which in spirit, in character, and in the sensation of satisfaction to the giver, cannot be excelled. But by a charity gift we do not mean a hap-hazard affair, without aim or purpose. We all have intercourse of some kind with, or knowledge of, those greatly in need, what it will cost very little to provide. The noting, the planning and the giving of these things during the Christmas holidays will make more hearts than those of the recipients burn with pleasure. And none of us is either too rich or too poor to engage in this sort of giving. A simple service performed without the asking and without thought of pay and with a refusal to accept any, is just as gracious and just as appropriate a Christmas gift as a millionaire's check or a glittering diamond. The true spirit of the Christmas gift is that of the bestowal of a benefit without the thought of reward, except the thought that "it is more blessed to give than to receive." SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES Dr. R. A. Randolph will preach tomorrow at the morning service and the pastor at the evening service. Inspiring music by the choir. Special services will be held at four o'clock Christmas morning, when a special sermon will be preached and a spicy musical program will be rendered by our new choir, assisted by Mr. Geo. Morrison. Music for the occasion has been ordered and rehearsals for the same are well on the way. The addition of Mr. Morrison's violin to the choir was a happy one, and from all sides a word of praise, Miss Hicks and Mrs. Ross and their associates. It is gratifying to note the steady advance which is being made by the Sunday school under the direction of Mr. G. C. King and Mrs. Fannie Brown and their teachers. Among recent additions, the number of adults has been larger than usual. On next Tuesday evening, the 15th, a splendid literary program will be rendered for the benefit of this department. If you want an evening of pleasure come out and encourage our little folks.

Sage tea was an old beverage and sassafras tea had a great vogue, a vogue which lingers to some extent among us. It is drunk as a spring medicine, but it is undeniably fragrant and even to some up-to-date palates has a pleasing flavor. One of the things which impressed the earliest white settlers in the country and of which they glowingly wrote as one of the charms and appealing features of the new world was the abundance of sassafras. "A woman's devotion is a wonderful thing," said the sentimentalist. "No doubt of it," replied Mr. Meekton. "Where Henrietta places her affections her admiration is unquestioning. The only reason she objects to muzzling our bulldog is that she thinks the muzzle will spoil his facial expression." Historical Armed Coalitions. Six thousand English troops co-operated in Cromwell's time with the French army under Turenne against Conde. Again, in 1672. 6,000 English were sent to help the French against the Dutch. Among these was John Churchill, whose military talents were noticed by Turenne. At Navarino, too, the British, French and Russian fleets were joined against the Turks. THIS PAPER. Devotion COLORADO SCALE HIGH COLORADO SCALE HIGH J. F. WELBORN REVIEWS STRIKE FOR U. S. PROBERS. President of Fuel and Iron Firm Recounts Measures Adopted in Struggle With Union. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Responsibility for the purchase of rifles, revolvers, machine guns and ammunition for mine guards, and for the accuracy of statements published in the "Bulletin" issued by the coal mining operators in Colorado for "educational purposes" since the calling of the strike in southern Colorado in September, 1913, was accepted by Jesse F. Welborn, president of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, on the witness stand before the United States Commission on Industrial Relations in the state Senate chamber. These statements were educated from Welborn after he had testified that John D. Rockefeller and the directors of the company did not direct the company's affairs during the strike troubles, but left the management of the company to the executive committee. Chairman Frank P. Walsh of the commission then requested that all communications between Welborn or other officers of the company and Rockefeller or Rockefeller's personal representatives and agents, received either by mail or by telegraph since April 30, 1914, be submitted to the commission. Protest was made by Welborn that much of the subject matter in the communications is of a private nature and not in any way connected with the investigation, and he was assured that only such matter as bears directly or indirectly on the strike question will be read into the records. According to Welborn, the cost of the strike to the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, in decreased business, loss of revenue from the steel industry and the coal mining, and purchase of arms and ammunition, hiring of guards, and publicity aggregates "close to $1,000; 000; at least $800,000." He quoted figures alleged to have been given by Frank J. Hayes, vice president of the United Mine Workers of America, in an address in Trinidad last September, to the effect that $3,044,000 has been spent by that organization up to that time during one year of the strike. "The average annual wage of miners in Colorado is little under $1,000; in Illinois it is $600; the scale of the day men is universally higher in Colorado than elsewhere." Led by Chairman Walsh's questions, Welborn said that fifteen mines of his company now are operating, seven being idle, and that should the strike be declared off no more mines would be operated until business conditions warant. He asserted his belief that under present conditions, if the agitators are kept out and made to behave themselves, and "if the operators behave themselves, as they have for years, by enforcing the laws, peace can be maintained indefinitely." Former Senator Patterson's Opinion. Former Senator Patterson's Opinion. Denver.—The opinion that the Colorado coal strike could have been ended, if the coal operators opposing the strikers had consented to enter into a conference with the leaders of the men, was expressed by Thomas M. Patterson, formerly United States senator, upon the witness stand before the United States Commission on Industrial Relations investigating the strike. Liquor Ban in Coal Fields Extended. Denver.—Governor Ammons issued a proclamation extending his embargo on the sale of liquor in the northern coal fields for thirty days from Dec 5, the date the ban, which was placed by the governor June 5, expired. The district affected by the order includes portions of Boulner. Jefferson, Weld and Adams counties. Coal Rate Case Dismissed. Denver.—The original case of the Consumers' League against the Colorado & Southern, Burlington, and Union Pacific railroads in regard to the reduction of coal rates from the northern coal fields to Denver was formally dismissed by the State Supreme Court. Game Warden Dies. Denver.—Frank Hayes, chief game warden of the Fourth Colorado district and a resident of Colorado for the last twenty-four years, died at St. Joseph's hospital following an operation for appendicitis. He was fifty-three years old. Nearly $10,000,000 Insurance in 1913. Denver.—The insurance business of Colorado during 1913 was only a shade less than $10,000,000, according to the report which S. Epsteen, state insurance commissioner, will submit to Governor Ammons. Mint Rushes $15,000,000 Gold Coins. Denver.—To meet the demand for shiny, new gold pieces, the Denver mint is operating at full capacity and expects to have $15,000,000 in gold pieces ready for distribution in the Christmas stocking all over the land. Of the coins being turned out at the mint, $1,500,000 will be $2.50 gold pieces the remainder of the amount will be half eagles, eagles and double eagles. The $5 and $10 gold pieces will have the Indian head and forty eight stars around the rim. THE Joslin DRY GOODS CO.

Hines, a noted fruit grower of Grand Junction, sent six plates of apples to the agricultural exposition held recently in Wichita, Kansas, and was awarded two first prizes and three blue ribbons. Mr. Hines is the most extensive (colored) fruit grower in Colorado and has naturally received many congratulations on his recent display of fruit and on his well merited success, among them from the president of the board of trade and the mayor of the city. The Colorado Statesman extends congratulations to Mr. Hines and wishes him continued success in his chosen field of endeavor. Would that more of the colored people would follow in his footsteps.

SOLON ALONE IN DEATH WAS FIRST ELECTED TO CONGRESS IN 1883 FROM TWENTY-SIXTH NEW YORK DISTRICT. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington. — Representative Sereno E. Payne of New York died suddenly of heart failure at his apartment here Thursday. Mr. Payne had retired to his room apparently in robust health. He telephoned the apartment house clerk about 11 o'clock asking that a physician be sent for. When the clerk reached the room the congressman was dying, and life was extinct before the doctor arrived. Payne, who was 71 years old, lived alone, and at midnight his body lay waiting for the coroner, without friend or relative near. His wife died three years ago, and no one could be found who knew the address of his only son. Members of Congress who had seen Payne on the floor of the House Thursday afternoon cheerfully active as usual, knew nothing of his death for more than an hour. A member from New York in every Congress since 1888 except one, Payne was chairman of the ways and means committee and Republican floor leader in 1909-10, and directed the drafting of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. He was born at Hamilton, N. Y., June 26, 1843, and educated at Rochester and Colgate. He practiced law and was district attorney of Cayuga county and in 1883 was elected a member of Congress from the Twenty-sixth district. Later his district was the Thirty-first, and finally he represented the Thirty-sixth. He was a delegate to many Republican national conventions, and in 1898 was appointed a member of a joint high commission to negotiate a treaty with Canada. He has made his home at Auburn, N. Y., for years though most of his time was spent in Washington. As one of the foremost tariff authorities in Congress Payne was a notable figure among the Republicans of the House long before he became chairman of the ways and means committee, which framed the original of the Republican tariff doctrine, which stood until repealed by the Underwood law. His age was beginning to tell, however, and of late he had not infrequently dozed in his chair for a few moments at a time during a day's session. He had an office assigned him just across the corridor from the House. Las Cruces Bank Closes Its Doors. Las Cruces, N. M. The First State Bank here failed to open its doors following the run of Wednesday. The State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts was the largest depositor, with approximately $73,000 on deposit.

Cañon City.—With the twelfth juror finally accepted by both sides, the trial of seven members of the United Mine Workers, charged with killing William King in the battle at the Chandier mine last April, opened in earnest Thursday. JOSEPH SMITH, PATRIARCH, DIES. Head of Latter Day Saints Succumbs to Attack of Heart Disease at 82. Independence, Mo.—Joseph Smith, president of the reorganized church of Latter Day Saints, died at his home here Thursday. At his bedside was his son, Frederick M. Smith, who will succeed him as president of the church, and other members of the family. President Smith was 82 years old and had been in ill health for several months. Recently he became blind and was forced to abandon many of his duties as editor of the Saints' Herald, the official publication. Two weeks ago he was stricken with heart disease and he had been in a critical condition ever since. The wife, six sons and two daughters of the president were at his bedside when he died and had been about him all through his illness. The funeral will be held from the Old Stone church here Sunday. The body is to lie, in state in the church from 8 in the morning until noon. Burial will be in the Mound Grove cemetery just outside Independence. Troops to Quilt Colorado Gradually. Denver.—The federal troops will not be withdrawn immediately from the strike districts but will be removed gradually from the various fields as normal conditions are restored, according to a statement by Governor Ammons.

Cope of Los Angeles, Cal., held on bribery charges in connection with the prosecution of Col. Charles Alexander of Providence, R.

NEW WAYS WITH EGGS RECIPES HAVING THE DISTINCTION OF NOVELTY. Omelet With Herring Is Excellent— Raked Stuffed Eggs—Dish That the Children Will Be Sure to The season of eggs is always, but now when fresh eggs are becoming less and less plentiful they assume a value always given to the thing that is scarce. Here are some ways of cooking eggs in very interesting methods, methods that emphasize that the egg is an object to which consideration is due. Omelet With Herring—Cut off head and tail of a nice fat smoked herring. Split in two through the back, remove spinal bone and skin and finally cut into small square pieces. Place on a plate with enough milk to cover. After allowing it to stand for an hour remove from milk and drain pieces on a cloth. Heat one and a half teaspoonfuls of butter in a frying pan, add fish and fry for five minutes, tossing once in a while. Crack eight fresh eggs in a bowl, add two tablespoonfuls of milk, half a teaspoonful of salt, three salt spoonfuls of pepper, and sharply beat with a fork for two minutes. Drop eggs in the fish pan, mix with fork for two minutes and allow to stand for half a minute. Fold up opposite sides to meet in center, allow to rest for a minute and serve hot. Baked Stuffed Eggs.—Boll some eggs hard and throw them into cold water. Then shell them and cut them crosswise in two. Remove the yolks and cream them with a wooden spoon, and to each yolk add a tablespoonful of fine breadcrumbs soaked in milk and butter and pepper and salt to taste. Cut a bit of the end of each white off and stuff the whites. Stand the halves in a buttered baking dish, the bottom of which is thinly sprinkled with bread crumbs. Over all sprinkle a little bit of finely-minced parsley. Bake five minutes. Stuffed With Ham—Boil half a dozen eggs hard. Remove the shells and cut the eggs crosswise in two. Slice off a piece from each end to make them stand firmly. Remove the yolks and mix with them a little chopped ham. Fill the whites with this mixture, heaping it up in cone shape. Put the stuffed halves on a flat dish and pour over them this dressing: Beat two egg yolks with half a teaspoonful of mustard, half a teaspoonful of salad oil added slowly. Thin as it is necessary with wine vinegar. For Children—Beat the whites of eggs stiff and cook in spoonfuls in milk. Remove, and into the milk stir the yolks, beaten slightly, and stir constantly to form a custard. Add a bit of salt and put the whites on the custard. This is a very good dish for children, served with wafers. If sugar is liked, it can be slightly sweetened for dessert. Eggs With Pea Purree.—Drop eggs on a buttered dish and put them in the oven. When they are just set slide them onto a purée of peas, made by putting canned or fresh peas through a vegetable presser and mixing them lightly with melted butter and heated cream. Au Gratin.—Butter a flat earthenware dish and sprinkle it with bread crumbs, and on the crumbs break eggs. Over them sprinkle grated cheese, salt, pepper and bits of butter, with just a little cream. Put in a hot oven until the eggs are set. When Flatirons Stick An ironing day trouble is the iron that sticks. The ordinary flatiron is likely to become gummy, rough and perhaps dirty from the uncooked starch that sticks it, or perhaps it may be soiled from grease or blacking from the stove. Such an iron may be cleaned by crumpling a piece of paper, dipping it in ashes or some scratchy cleanser, and rubbing the paper over the iron until all foreign substance is removed. The iron may be washed in hot, soapy water, wiped dry, warmed, waxed and set away ready for use. If the iron becomes soiled in the process of ironing, it may be waxed and rubbed with either salt or the scratchy cleanser used above which has been spread on a paper. In the absence of these, fine emery paper may be used. Beef Stew. Cut into small pieces two pounds of any of the cheaper cuts of beef. Add one small yellow turnip, one carrot, one large onion and a half dozen good-sized potatoes, a little salt and about a quart of cold water. The onion should be sliced and the other vegetables diced. Place the meat in the bottom of the kettle and cover with the vegetables. Pour the water over all and cover closely. When it is boiling briskly set it back where it will simmer for a couple of hours. There should be no more than a zuppel of juice when it is ready to serve.—Mother's Magazine. Bottled Mint Sauces This hint is too late for present use, but good to file and remember. Make mint sauce in summer according to your favorite recipe, when there's lots of fresh mint to be had, bottle and seal and you will have delicious mint sauce all winter without the trouble of making it. To Make Chimneys Shine. After washing lamp chimneys, polish them with dry salt. This gives the glass a brilliant shine and prevents it from cracking.
