PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY IS EQUAL SUFFRAGE A FAILURE? VOL. XX1. IS EQUA SUFFR FA (By WILLIAM G. MAY.) Realizing how unpopular even such a suggestion will be to a portion of a population so long governed under the equal suffrage system, it is with a degree of compensation that I approach the subject. I shall proceed, however, upon the assumption that unpopularity does not necessarily imply that ones conclusions are in error. For more than a decade legislation for the common weal has suffered seriously throughout the whole country because of the equal suffrage hysteria with which it is afflicted. When an action is deemed necessary, a cause is presumed to exist. Then what is the emergency which renders equal suffrage so necessary and imperative? From the advocates declaration of causes we glean the following; participation of women in government, law-making etc. for the purpose of improving the working conditions of women; abolishment of child labor; reformation and elevation of politics and finally of curing countless social ills of which they complain. It is granted that the ills complained of actually exist and emminently in need of remedial action, but is equal suffrage the solution? The results of twenty three years of actual experience under equal suffrage government should be sufficient, to remove a state from the experimental stage and prepare it for practical analysis. If it is capable of yeilding the beneficence and effacacy its advocates claim, then Colorado should be well on her road to the millinium. Thus prepared by its experience let us review the results in our own commonwealth. With full suffrage, men and women voting and office holding equally, limited activities or influence cannot be claimed. Women preside over and participate in platform-making and nominating conventions. They deliberate as senators and representatives in lawmaking bodies. From constable to senatorship they hold office. With this prestige they have successfully cajoled and browbeaten Governers, senates and legislatures into submission. Public officials of whatever character or ability desiring to return to office dare not question their right to what they want. As an evidence of their influence over courts and juries one has only to review the imposing bevy of women homicides parading in freedom with the pomp of heroines If this "gentle" influence is the panacea for our political ills, could a better setting for the desired reformation be staged? Yet, with the above circumstances admittedly true, Colorado has the unsavory record of being among the worst governed states in the Union. In corroboration, I submit the "Beast in the jungle," the author of which would have been prosecuted for criminal libel had not the allegations and direct charges contained therein been substantially true; the frequent grand jury indictments of public officials for embezzlement, corruption and malfeasance in office both high and low; the conduct of county and state administrations in turmoil, strife and extravagance; and even occasional newspaper reports of crooked judicial's decisions. This is merely a partial recital of the State's woes. Of course, similar conditions prevail in many other states, but we are told that equal suffrage is the specific remedy. Amelioration of conditions still being a remote possibility, it would seem that the purifying influence has not purified. Whether it is because it has been improperly exerted or because it is incapable of "delivering," is also material in determining its advisability. Just as may be observed in other states where women could under no circumstances be persuaded to vote, Colorado has produced some strong and capable women who have in the performances of their duties acquitted themselves nobly and well. These women, however, are only politicians incidentally as it affects their educational work. But of those who have attained their prominence or preferment through regular political channels, careful scrutiny does not reveal a single instance of exceptional ability in state craft or capacity for public service. Investigation rather reveals them in the light of constantly agitating for the sake of notority or promotion of personal ambition.

JANUARY 16 1915 State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House GIANTS WHO ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO hour relays to advise the Governor upon matters of which they admittedly only had yellow newspaper information. Even if the enfranchisement of women had yeilded great benefits, who will claim that they outweigh the irreparable injury it has wrought? The State's annual appropriations for institutions of corrections is heavily increased each year. The homes for unmarried mothers multiply. If the men were good cooks, nurses and dust chasers, and the women good enough politicians to "bring home the bacon," the situation might be capable of such revolution as to still be satisfactory. But when a majority of the political matrons are principally engaged with manipulating recall petitions, canvasing, electioneering and clerical work in primaries and elections, or just enough politics to absent them from home and interfere with the performance of their domestic duties while the father is compelled by nenessity to do a "bread winning turn" in factory or shop and the children just "coming up" under whatever environment may exert, is the result at all surprising? Again, the vote of a bum, drunk or degenerate counts as often and represents as much in the sum total of the electorate as that of Mayor, Governor, or President. Being naturally of an indifferent or mercenary character it is upon this element that the astute politician concentrates his election energies. Can the thousands of ordinarily respected and self-respecting women, canvassing, soliciting and mingling indiscriminately among this element successfully argue that their self-respect has not been injured? It further seems that home and family life has been seriously menaced by womens' activity in politics. If the unenviable and shameful divorce record of this state and the rapidly increasing popularity of male and female bachlorhood with its attendant evils were investigated by impartial statisticians who were impervious to its results upon their political fortunes, it would be found that it is a condition largely of equal suffrage making, the last year's record of one divorce complaint filed to every three applications for marriage licenses tells its own story, and we become ridiculous by trying to attribute it to the high altitude. Political enthusiasm, neglect of home and family, disagreement, divorce; isnt that perfectly natural? If the women are conscientious in their express wish to have the world grow better, their contribution will be immeasurably greater if they will use the gentle influence which practical politics has successfully resisted, in properly training for society a better breed of men and women from those neglected boys and girls who crowd our institutions of corrections and homes. C Governor George A. Carlson, whose inauguration took place last Tuesday at the Auditorium, and who in his inaugural address promises to do all in his power, with the assistance of his fellow state officers and Legislature, to work for a greater Colorado. Quite a large audience witnessed the event, and appeared very much impressed and pleased with the recommendations of the governor for the present administration, which hopes to restore prosperity to government and people. The Colorado Statesman, having implicit confidence in this gentleman who is our chief executive officer of the state, extends best wishes for a successful term of office, and being gratified over the fact of our starting and ending the campaign with him, will continue to assist in its usual way to insure his policy of PEACE AND PROSPERITY. RACE NEWS --- RACE GATHERED FROM Washington, D. C., Jan. 6.—If an amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill introduced by Senator Lane, of Oregon, is passed, $200,000 due the estates of deceased colored soldiers, marines and sailors of the civil war, now held in the Treasury, will be used to build a national home for aged and infirm colored people and working girls. The Postmaster-General will have supervision of the expendi- ture of the fund, according to the provision of the amendment. JEWS WANT EMANCIPATION. New York, Jan. 4, 1915.—In a declaration adopted at a preliminary meeting yesterday afternoon of the Jewish Emancipation Committee there is set forth the purpose of the Jews of this country NO 21 to have representatives at the peace negotiations of the European belligerents to demand on the part of the Jew world-wide political emancipation. The committee, which is composed of prominent Jews and Gentiles, hopes to start similar movements in England, France, Germany, Russia and other European countries, and to co-operate there with the Jewish and Gentile leaders who favor political equality for the Jews. The declaration points out that many hundreds of thousands of Jews are in the front ranks of the armies engaged in the European war and adds: "It is felt that the present war is demonstrating more than anything else in history the justice of the Jews demand for the same civic privileges and human rights accorded to his Christian neighbors. According to the figures given out by the committee the world movement effects 13,052,845 Jews throughout the world. Of the number,1,903,926 are in the United States, about 1,400,00 having their homes in this city. JESSIE LANCASTER MAKES BIG HAUL. Baltimore, Md. January 6.—Jesse Lancaster, colored, about 50 years old, pleaded guilty in the United States Court Monday of rifling six mail pouches thrown off trains at Rockville, Md., and was sentenced by Judge Rose to 12 years in the government prison at Atlanta, Ga. He was given two years each on six counts of the indictment, the term in each case to begin at the end of the previous one. The only comment Lancaster made when asked by the Judge if he had anything to say, was that he had only rifled six mail pouches, and not seven as alleged in the indictment. It is said that Lancaster got checks and bonds aggregating $125,000 in value from the pouches in addition to some cash and valuables On the morning of September 1, the rifling of mail pouches at Rockville began. A pouch thrown off the train leaving Washington at 3 a.m. was robbed of its contents after being thrown of at Rockville 25 minutes later. Similar robberies occurred on the morning of September 17, October 6 and 24 and November 5 and 26. Lancaster was arrested November 28. It was said the first robbery netted Lancaster $50 cash and this encouraged him to continue. When arrested Lancaster had been exactly 10 years out of the penitentiary, where he served 14 years for burglary. In addition to rifling the mail pouches, the man was charged with having robbed the store of Porter Ward at Hunting Hill last April, and the residence of Thomas O. Hardy near Wheatly. G. A. CARLSON INAUGURATED COLORADO GOVERNOR DELIVERS INAUGURAL ADDRESS AT AUDITORIUM. New Executive Recommends Economy, An Industrial Commission, a Work- men's Compensation Act, and Asks That Capital and Labor Clasp Hands for a Reunited Greater Colorado. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver, Jan. 12.—Besides the members of the Legislature, a large number of people assembled at the Auditorium at noon today, when Governor George A. Carlson delivered his inaugural address. Substantially, the new executive said: TO THE MEMBERS OF THE TWENTIETH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF COLORADO: Greeting: In my few days' association with you I have become impressed with the fact that the desire of each to serve is intense, and your willingness to serve is esteemed and firmly fixed. Colorado is young in history. Her vast resources are yet in the earliest infancy of development. Mighty problems have proven difficult to solve, but I fixed to find nowhere among you a disposition to quail or cringe. Giant problems are the despair of the weak, but they only serve as a spur to the complexity of your problems is only matched by your opportunity for service. Industrial Commission Colorado and the immediate parties have suffered much from industrial disputes. Frequent conflicts between employer and employee have occurred, and each conflict has been characterized by the mistreatment and some instances of attendance, production of property and bloodshed. It therefore, must be apparent to all that the present methods of preventing and limiting violations between employer and employee are effective in the factory, and quite frequently disastrous to those directly involved, and to the public at large. It is, therefore, imperative that Legislature earnest and diligently address the problem of ascertaining and removing, if possible, the causes of these industrial disputes. To preserve peace is but a part of the problem. The causes a bottom of disorder must be recognized and measures adopted to eliminate them. Early in our country's history industries were small and industrial competition much less keen than to employ. Employees were employed and were on close, friendly relations with their employer. There was no need of an intermediary employment establishment to serve harmony and insure fair dealing between the two. But time saw increasing development of our resources and out of this development grew gigantic industries combinations of labor. Inventions of labor-saving machinery, and the ever-increasing size of industries made a large employer. The employer had been a very simple one, and tended to push the employer further and further away from the employer, and to establish a new, certain conflicting purposes of employer and employe clashed, bitterness developed and evidenced itself, from time to time, trikes, boycots, blacklists and lockouts. Correspondence perilised all of these. Amid these epochal changes there was developed no intermediate agency to protect the employer from the successes of the other. Our own state government acquiesced in the widening breach and made but feeble pro- The time has now come when Colorado must cease being merely a negation force. Our state government must become powerful and harmonize our antagonistic industrial forces; an agency to stand between employer and employee and compel fair result can result best be accomplished by the establishment of an industrial commission to charge the power and duty of administering the power hereafter enacted concerning the relationship between employer and employee, boards and bureaus now exist, and the main phases of this relationship, lack coordination, uniformity and a definite plan, and should be abolished and handled duties delegated to the commission. This commission should be given broad, general powers. It should have power to administer and enforce laws and regulations; to welfare of employees; to investigate and prescribe what safety devices and other methods of protection are best available for employees; to department safe; to do all in power to promote the voluntary arbitration, mediation and conciliation of employees; to employ employees, and to avoid the necessity of resorting to strikes, lock-outs, boycott, black-lists, discriminations and harassment of employees in employment; to establish and conduct free employment agencies and to do all in its power to bring together employees seeking employment; to devise and adopt the most efficient means within its power to avoid unemployment and prevent distress following workplace idleness; to publish information relating to the work under its jurisdiction; to bopeba witnesses and to examine books. Along the lines of preventive work its broad powers to decrease unemployment, to compel safe places of employment to enforce *relating and furnishing laws* and to employ the workers of employer and employ would certainly tend to diminish the present industrial unrest and establish a condition of harmony. **Compensation.** Complementary to these powers, the compensation should have authority to put into effect and administer a system of workmen's compensation. Long and hard-fought legal contests undoubtedly, have contributed much to the success of existing employer and employer and employer to protect himself the employer pays large sums of money to insurance companies who in turn assume his liability, and in order to make a profit can pay the employee in a fraction of the amounts so received. Economy. The people are demanding that this Legislature increase the efficiency and eliminate the extravagance and wastefulness of the present organization of the state, and urge that early in the session your financial committee, or such committee as you may appoint for the purpose, you ought to survey the bureau, office, board, museum and department, with a view of making known all existing inefficiency and lack of economy. Many fields of inquiry suggest themselves. As the state has grown demands have arisen for boards, bureaus and commissions to perform certain functions. Each need or imagined effect must be assessed on an office. From time to time these needs have changed, ceased to be urgent and in many cases ceased to exist—but the office remained. This multiplicity of functions differs from the covering the same field has caused executive and administrative authority to become more and more decentralized, until at the present time it is difficult, if not impossible, to unified policy. After such a survey is made, all duplication, lack of co-ordination, unnecessary boards, bureaus and commissions should be eliminated, economical organization substituted. Budget. It is highly important that there should be available in collected form accurate statistics on the expense of our state government. This legislature must duty of the heads of every department to file with the state treasurer on or before January first preceding each tax year. The tail of the amounts required by their respective departments for the biennial period following. The state treasurer should submit such estimates to the state government and provide information. Provision should be made for the publication of these estimates. The committee on appropriations, hay and treasurer estimate of the available expenditure and the amount of expense for the biennial period, would be greatly facilitated in its work, and aid it in preventing over-appropriation. Public expenditure and inform the public more accurately on the expense of its state government. Abolish Classified Appropriations. The present system of classified appropriations encourages the vice of over-departments of government class bodies the second class, and having no mill levy for their support, in many instances have without funds for as long as half the levy of the efficient results, each department of government must know exactly how much revenue it has to work with. The operations of the de-departments affectionate to the institutions are restricted, and in several instances in the past, have been completely demoralized. It is just as unfortunate that the government should spend more than its income as it is for an individual or business concern to do the same. The state's revenues have been limited exactly and appropriations should be available amount. A canvass of states has been made to determine how many states have classified appropriations. Of the class which are replying to the inquiry, only one, Missouri, has classification. In Missouri the expense of the Legislature is placed in the seventh and last, class, and as a result there have been a large danger of the same. This evil can be avoided by the actment of a law providing that all appropriations have equal rank as claims against the state's revenues, than that the state will be able to pay all appropriations in full, each separate appropriation shall receive an amount bearing the same rate as the total amount of the same as the total available amount bears to the total amount appropriated. Prohibition At the November election the people decided that on January, 1916, this state is to become dry. The duty now people upon you to carry out the people's will in the quate legislation. Great care must be taken in preparing this law to avoid legal difficulties and to make it enforced. A poor law is drafted, wholesale evasion of the lawlessness will follow surely and taxpayer of every county will be competed to pay heavy tribute. You should be prepared by the experience of other states. After your experiment Kansas has prohibitory laws that are enforceable and effective. Certain rights of purchase and sale for medicinal and sacramental purposes are not protected by these rights amendment and these rights should be safeguarded but not extended. Wholesalers should not be permitted to sell to those who do not purpose whatsoever. Adequate means of payment for punishment for violations should be provided. Those upon whom the duty of enforcement should ultimately should have the power to disaffectfully this duty. Adequate means of law enforcement will prevent the law from being imposed on his first start. Inadequate means will prevent opportunity. Such notices and records should be required to be kent as will make impossible for anyone to procure interstate authorities when the authority of the authorities. Peace officers should be given the same right of purchase as it now in the gambling situation. It should now be to remove officers who refuse or neglect to enforce the laws passed by you. Mining The Bureau of Mines has become chiefly an inspection department. This department is responsible for the location. The bureau was established encourag and aid in the development of the industry. As a part of its duties the bureau is responsible for ascertain the best methods of treatment of our low grade ore; it should stimulate and direct prospecting and mine research and research work of practical value. Use of the laboratory of the School of Mines by the bureau. Such a correlation of the school with the School of Mines will provide the former with ample facilities for this work without additional expense to the state. Public Lands. The public lands, water power and other natural resources of this state should be opened to development. Thirty-two per cent of the total area should not be taxed to maintain government over the whole state. Development in the older states came only through private ownership. These states should not deny to the younger public land states rights equal to those that they have enjoyed themselves. **Public Defense** So long as Colorado is able to make a beneficial impact on the water of streams rising within her boundaries and flowing into adjoining states, she is entitled to do so. This right has been questioned in the courts by certain states, and citizens of adjoining states. If the final decision is adverse to Colorado, widespread ruin will follow in those portions of the state directly affected by the proposed irrigation and citizens of adjoining states to grow their crops. It would be a gross miscarriage of justice and a violation and abridgement of this state's rights if the ruinous theological contentions is allowed to prevail. The public importance of these cases makes it vitally necessary that nothing be left undone to establish Colorado's right to irrigate. The Nineteenth General Assembly provided an appropriation to assure a proper defense. This Assembly should ascertain whether or not additional rights be needed to continue the work, and, if so, sufficient appropriation should be made. Agricultural College Land Fund Fraudulent Irrigation Securities respecting irrigation districts be investigated and revised. Great injury has been done outside investors and the county securities office has been investigating securities. The wording of the present laws on the subject leaves opening for unscrupulous promoters to represent the sums paid therefor are expended under the direction of the county treasurers in the counties where the sums are unconscionable for the state to permit longer the use of its name in aid of fraudulent stock-selling schemes. The county treasurers are now under a very heavy bonded indebtedness and without sufficient water supply. This often results in ruin for the county treasurers great injury to the credit of the state and much loss to the investor. Irrigation is of prime importance to the county treasurers to lent a safe field for capital to enter. The wrongs done already are of such magnitude as to menace seriously further irrigation development in the state. It is important to supply the continuance of this condition. The state should provide an effective supervision over the issuance of irrigation water, all stocks and bonds and issued represent bona fide and sufficient water supply. Land Loan Act. Colorado adopted a land loan act in 1905 which provides that our school fund should be loaned to farmers at six per cent interest. This law has been amended in 1910 to offender has been alleged that it is unconstitutional, in two particulars: first, it takes from the state treasurer the concession to be entrusted to bid by the constitution; second, it provides any county in which a loan is made must reimburse the state for any loss from such loan, by making a tax levy for it. It is unnecessary to point out that loaning this fund to farmers at six per cent interest would be of great assistance to farmers in the more rapid development of the state. It is, therefore, recommended that this law be amended, or a new law passed to overcome the legal objections raised. It has been charged that the school fund has not been invested in loans to be used to house the bondsmen of the state treasurer. This charge be true, it points out a serious defect in the present method of lodging this officer, and immediate action should be taken to the state to furnish his bond and thus make him free to carry out the laws. Drainage The federal government has offered to co-operate with this state in draining several thousand acres of waterlogged lands in the Grand and Unlocked waters in Indiana to accept this offer it is necessary that our "district drainage law" be so amended as to permit of contracts with the management is to be entered into it is able that the necessary amendment be enacted at an early date. The irrigation, and particularly the dry-farming problems of Colorado, make demands for experience and knowledge that are peculiar to the West. The East needs help and direction during his first years here. Otherwise he may waste the most of his time and savings are unnecessary experiments. The College has accomplished considerable along this line and should be encouraged and given financial support to continue and extend what has been done already. Education. Our higher educational institutions are furnishing efficient plants for the training of our youth. They are doing this. They are extending their influence beyond their campuses and are playing an increasingly prominent part in the social, civic and industrial welfare of the college. In particular, College is conducting short courses for students. The sociological department of the University is conducting through its own department a course of public lectures given by the state dealing with vital civic problems. The School of Mines is proposing a short course for the prospector. The School of Mines is function still further as public service departments and should be given generous financial aid by this Legislature. Because of this subject it is not amiss to say that the students have more serious attention to the development of the sense of civic obligation. They should install into every student a library or her or her first duty is loyalty to the state. The strong individualist is not only of no value to the state but he is a form of arrest and contracted development. He is not the same as the staste should be developed until it becomes like the devotion to family. This is true education. With such a founda- tion, he will be a Colorado people learn Colorado's history, take pride in it; if all native or ado- tured sons and daughters of the Centen- tary will be obbing devity— their minds the consciousness, and their hearts the ever-present sentiment that they are mutually related to one great, and that they will be willing to state—which they will obbing devity and willing to defend, then internal dissension will be impossible, and will justice will become a reality. If the schools of this state do their part well there is not much that the rest of us need do. If they illy do their part then there is not much that the rest of us can do. Co-operation with Federal Government, Colorado is upon a good basis of cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture. There exists a friendliness and helpfulness that has done much to foster improved methods of agriculture in the state. Industrial Pence. Capital and labor, chap hands! This will not only bring you mutual happiness, but it will increase your oppor-tunity and your sufficient intelligence here; there is it justice strong enough to unravel every perplexing difference between one capital of civilization neither capital nor labor shall be the dark ages to get the weapons which to carry their point. Henceforth capital and labor, help not to tolerate it. Capital and labor, help not to tolerate your energies, your intelligence. If differ among yourselves, or as to governmental policy, you have your legal rights, you have your statehood. Out of our many ills and miseries you build a reunited Greater Colorado.

Grand Junction. — Ten thousand acres of wheat will be planted on virgin lands under the survey of the High Line this year, for the 1916 crops, according to B. Aupperle, prominent land owner. Aupperle is planning to sow wheat early next fall and to irrigate the crop for the first time in the late spring of 1916. It is probable that 15,000 acres in all will be in crops when the government turns water through the completed tunnels and canal. ERNEST HOWARD, Carpenter, Job and Repair Work.

The French attacks to the north of Soissons, on the Aisne and near Perhes, east of Rheims, are developing into a serious offensive. The Turks have been offering stubborn resistance to the Russians at Kara Urgan, where a battle has been in progress for five days. The Albanian insurgents have occupied the heights of Ritspol and have placed guns in position for use against Durazzo, the Albanian port recently occupied by Italian forces. There has been received at Amsterdam from Berlin an officially inspired telegram which repudiates all the accusations against the troops of Germany, made in the report of a French committee which investigated certain alleged atrocities. In the Argonne and on the heights of the Meuse the Germans are on the offensive and claim to have made further progress. Fresh German troops dispatched to Alsace, combined with the wintry weather, have stopped the French advance in that region. An official dispatch from the Berlin war office says: "Vienna reports state that it has been ascertained that the French dreadnought Courtet was hit by the Austrian submarine No. 12. The Courbet was rammed by her sister ship, the Jean Bart, which was attempting to tow her. The Courbet sank. The Jean Bart docked at Malta, badly damaged. WESTERN. Mme.

Ramon Villalobo, sentenced to be hanged in the Florence, Arlz., state prison Jan. 8, is still alive. Warden Sims thus informed Gov. Hunt and the Superior Court of Pinal County. The warden explained that he did not hang Villalobo, because the Board of Pardons was not yet organized and there was no authority in Arizona with power to grant a reprieve should Villalobo have made an appeal for clemency. Villalobo, a Mexican, killed an American, in a race riot last August. WASHINGTON.

The Amsterdam Tyd says that most of the priests in the Diocese of Malines have refused to obey the German order not to circulate Cardinal Mercier's pastoral letter on the ground that they take orders from the cardinal and not from the military. The decision of the special Federal Court at San Francisco declaring unconstitutional the Arizona alien employment law is being eagerly discussed at Tokio. Hope is expressed in various quarters that this decision will pave a way for a solution of the California alien land act. A great crowd assembled in a severe storm at Rome to meet the railway van bearing the body of Constantino Garibaldi, grandson of the famous Italian soldier, who was killed while serving in the French army. In the crowd were veterans of the Garibaldian campaigns wearing their red shirts, and representatives of various political parties. "The civil army we have to feed is greater than the British and French armies combined. Yet we can scrape through on about $6,250,000 worth of food a month."

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The present war will have a serious effect on more than ten million white and Negro farmers who grow cotton in the South, according to a statement made by Dr. Booker T. Washington, the noted Negro educator, when seen at the capital on his arrival from Tuskegee. Ala. Doctor Washington said the depressed price of cotton would hamper the farmers in paying their debts, purchasing foods and other necessities and the raising of the next crop. He was much pleased, he said, with the remarks of President Wilson in outlining his attitude toward the Negro when he told the University Commission on Southern Race Questions that "our object is to know the needs of the Negro and sympathetically help him in every way that is possible for his good and our good." "Every thoughtful man North and South," he went on, "will agree with the president. I think his statement represents a growing liberal sentiment on the part of an increasingly large group of Southern white people." In regard to his suggestion made recently that each Negro family raise one or more additional pigs this year, to help bring about more prosperity in the South, Doctor Washington said: "I have been surprised to note how well this suggestion has been received and how many are following it. One church pastor in Uniontown, Ala. went so far as to organize a plg club among the members of his congregation. "Now I want to make one other suggestion that in my opinion is of still greater and more practical importance. For months the great cry all through the South has been to stop the growing of cotton or to reduce the acreage. Chambers of commerce, business leagues, state legislatures and other bodies have adopted resolutions without end urging that we in the South stop growing so much cotton. To stop growing cotton is very easy; in fact it is always easy to stop work. But merely to stop growing cotton is a mere negative proposition and will not, I fear, leave the South much better off than at present. If we destroy or cripple a great industry we should be very sure to have one or a number equally good to put in its place." Miss Belva Lockwood made an address before a mass meeting of colored people at the Cosmopolitan Baptist church at Washington. The meeting was held in celebration of the anniversary of the adoption of the thirteenth amendment to the constitution. Rev. Simon P. Drew presided.

Those who read essays on this subject were Frank W. Henry, Carey B. Lewis, Joseph Marshall, Leonora T. Curtice, and Irene McCoy Ganes. The prize winners were Lewis and Miss Ganes. Each was presented with a diamond ring. The Delaware state board of education has received a communication from the Negro teachers in the district south of Wilmington in which it is asserted that the condition in the Negro schools is deplorable. It is alleged that teachers are employed who are not properly qualified; that the clerks in many districts disburse the taxes without accounting to the district; that in many instances the state dividend is not sufficient to pay the teachers' salaries and in such cases it is necessary for the teacher to give entertainments to raise the necessary amounts, all of which tends to be detrimental to the schools. They suggest that conditions would be improved if county commissions or superintendents are empowered to fix the tax for double the amount of duplicates; the provision of a state supervisor of Negro schools; enforcement of laws with reference to Negro commissioners, increased salaries for teachers and an eight-month instead of a seven-month school year.

The American Negro and the American Indian have really been succeeding in farming, in teaching, and in business during the recent years, and Hampton, therefore, has a valid public appeal to make, not only for its continued support by rich and generous men and women, but also for the spread of its educational aims, methods, and ideals, which have received the hearty endorsement of leading American and foreign educators. Hampton's lateral influence is publicly recognized by men like Dr. Wallace Butterick, and Dr. Wickliffe Rose. Distinguished foreigners, including Sir Horace Plunkett and Alexander Fraser, declare that Hampton is an important factor in the solution of perplexing problems of race adjustment through education. These tributes to Hampton need no words of explanation. "If a man is looking for a sure way to benefit the Negro race or the Indian race in the United States, let him send money to Hampton institute, making no restrictions concerning its use. He will surely get a large return in benefience."—Charles W. Eliot. "Hampton is perhaps doing more for the future peace and prosperity of this country than any other institution in it."—Robert C. Ogden. "I have always loved Hampton and I love her more and more because she is not only giving the Negro knowledge, but is seeing and reaching the needs of the race as no other institution is doing."—Booker T. Washington, who is Hampton's most distinguished graduate. "Hampton stands for dignity of labor and for the self-respect which is justified in any man when he has learned to do one thing well."—Francis G. Peabody. "There is nothing that offers such an opportunity for the wealthy man of this country as the cause of Negro industrial education in the South. Hampton is the solution of the Negro problem."—William H. Taft. A three days session of the board of directors of the Negro Baptist General State convention was held at Waco, Tex. The chief work of the board was the formulation of plans for the missionary and educational work of the Negroes during the coming year. The work of the convention is done through eight boards, each of which is under the supervision of a financial secretary. Two hundred and sixteen thousand dollars has been raised during the past year for the conventional work. The convention is supporting three educational institutions in Texas for the training of the Negro youth — Boyd's Institute at Oakwood, Central Texas college at Waco and Guadalupe college near Seguin. Another big institution fostered by the Negroes is St. John's Institute and Orphans' home near Austin. It is said to be the largest Negro orphanage in the world. The plant is valued at $200,000. The following secretaries were present: Church extension, W. R. Toliver, Calvert; educational, W. H. Fuller, Austin; ministers relief, S. T. Floyd, Sherman; endowment, A. W. Early, Palestine; state missions, J. G. Gathings, Goliad; foreign mission, James Kelly, Waco; publication, M. M. Haynes, Austin; orphans home, A. Moore, Austin. Shanghai recently saw the opening of the first street-car system financed, constructed and operated solely by Chinese. Kindergartens for colored children are being adopted in different parts of the South as one of the agencies for improving social conditions that have troubled two generations. Richmond, Va., has lately opened an experimental kindergarten which has already created such interest among Negro parents and the school authorities that it is expected it will soon be made permanent. The Richmond kindergarten was opened by the National Kindergarten association of New York at the request of Richmond people who knew of the success of the demonstration given among colored children at Chattanooga, Tenn., where the local association assumed the care and support of the school. Kindergartens for white children in the South have also been started by the association and later carried on locally. Sabullite is the name of a new high power explosive, tests of which have lately been made in British Columbia. It can be handled without danger, and is cheaper than dynamite, which has only about one-third of its destructive effect. It is used for blasting purposes only. The areas of the nine Canadian provinces in square miles are: Quebec, 706,834; Ontario, 407,252; British Columbia, 357,600; Alberta, 253,540; Saskatchewan, 250,650; Manitoba, 251,832; New Brunswick, 27,985; Nova Scotia, 21,428, and Prince Edward islands, 2,184. There is serious work in progress to educate the Negro along sensible lines so as to increase his efficiency, his sense of responsibility and his usefulness as a citizen, and gratifying results are being achieved.

She was accompanied back by her mother, Mrs. Eliza Hayden. Mrs. Louisa Groves, mother of the late Harvey Groves, is spending the week with her daughter, Mrs. C. B. Pryor, at 830 Acoma street. The Parent's Sunday School institute opened Wednesday night at Zion Baptist church. There was a large and appreciative audience present. The feature of the program was an address by Rev. W. J. Sly. Keep in mind the Y. M. C. A. movement, so when a call is made you will be prepared. To the leaders in this much needed work we wish to assure you that you have our support in every way. The thanks of a reporter of the Statesman are due Mr. J. H. Turner, a prominent business man of Chicago, for several valuable New Year's remembrances. May he live long and enjoy happiness. A Five Hundred party was given Wednesday night by Mr. and Mrs. J. Q. Hanks, at their residence, 2957 Glenarm street. It was a delightful social. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. H. L. McCain, Mrs. Clark and others. Let us make our church and lodge meetings a place noted for its love, sweetness and harmony, and not a battle ground for spite and envy. Support your pastor and officers. Are you in on this? Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, after spending more than a week in the city with her numerous friends, left for Southern California points Monday. During her stay here she received much social attention at the hands of her friends. Among the employees of the State Capitol that are retained in their positions is O. T. Jackson, who has served three terms, and now in his fourth as messenger to the governor. Mr. Jackson's retention proves that efficiency of service and attention to duty are recognized beyond politics. The Sunshine Club gave the public a rare treat Tuesday night at Fern Hall. The comment to be heard was: "Say, it was too good for the price of admission; it was at least worth a quarter." And so it was. This organization is worthy your praise and support. You have my best wishes so long as you labor for charity. The program was a real leader and all the participants acquitted themselves admirably. Mrs. Evyline Andrews gave a beautiful luncheon Friday night, Jan. 8, at the residence of Mrs. Brown, 3010 California street.

Travick delightfully entertained a few of their friends at their cozy home, No. 1821 Marion street, with a handsomely appointed supper. The different appetizing viands were calculated to satisfy and tickle the palate of the most fastidious epicure. Those who partook of their hospitality were Mr. and Mrs. E. Rivers, and little son, and Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Rivers. The Travicks are very hospitable and we must admit are delightful entertainers. Always something new. "A Church Corraling" is the name of a beautiful Sunday evening social given last Sunday by Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Stamps, 3435 Lawrence street, in honor of their charming daughter, Miss Beatrice. Miss St amps, whose execution of several selections, including a national air, jubilee songs and special revival hymns, gave all a thirst and desire for a great spiritual meeting, and after enjoying sandwiches, grapefruit and midwinter tea all left to appease their spiritual appetite. Among those present were Mrs. Spires, Mrs. B. Clark, Mr. Berry, Mr. Parker and Dr. William Lindsy. A fight for the leadership is what retards progress and stagnates the advancement of our people in so many communities. What we need is not so many would-be leaders, but actual workers for the betterment of all. Let those of us who are capable resolve to give service, not with the intention of gaining power and influence, not with the idea of filling our coefers, but rather for the reason that we desire to make good use of the talent which God has given us. Do not be a church senator seeking notoriety; do not be secret organization critic, fighting just to let them know you are there; do not be a self-constituted rectifier of all public happenings, but say to the Negro ministry of this city, of which we should all feel proud, to the conscientious laymen and the sacrificing good sisters, that we have decided to work together with you, in order to accomplish that which means for the betterment of our people in this and other communities. In short, be sure that your work be of the constructive and not destructive nature. Be a supporter of the right and a builder for good.

It is with feelings of sadness that the Colorado Statesman chronicles the death of William Harvey Groves, who died in Chicago Tuesday, Jan. 5, after a few days' illness of pneumonia. The body was brought back to Manitou by his brother, where the remains were interred Sunday according to the rites of the Episcopal litany. The attendance of his many sorrowing friends was large and there were many beautiful flowers. Mr. Groves is survived by his mother, five brothers and five sisters. He was 43 years old. He was quite a prominent stock and hog raiser and enjoyed quite a large circle of business and social friends. To the be-reaved ones we extend our heartfelt sympathy. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank our many friends, neighbors and Rocky Mountain Lodge No. 2320, G. U. O. of O.

The regular meeting of the Sewing Circle will be held Thursday at 2 p. m. at the residence of Mrs. Charles Clark, 2039 Glenarm place. The circle, under the leadership of Mrs. Rena Colston, is progressing splendidly. At a recent meeting plans were made for a three-night bazaar in the near future. Rev. D. E. Over and our pastor will exchange'pulpits on the fourth Sunday at the morning hour. The exchange will be appreciated no less by the two congregations than by the pastors themselves. Our second quarterly meeting will be held on the fifth Sunday of the month. It is hoped that this one will be the largest and best in the history of the church. Sister Edith Smithea, who was transplanted to the land of the blessed on the 8th, was buried from her home, 1873 Marion street, on Monday afternoon. The very high esteem in which she was held was beautifully illustrated through the gorgeous floral offerings made by her friends. She is gone, but not forgotten. Our sick list this week includes Mrs. Eliza Holley, 2922 Glenarm; Mrs. Mamie Cole., 2558 Welton; Mrs. Roxie Brickly, 1847 Clarkson; Miss Hattie Elliott, 1910 Pennsylvania. Our prayer is for their speedy recovery. The friends of Mrs. R. L. Pope, who is visiting in Pensacola, Fla., welcome word from her telling of the improved condition both of her mother's health and her own as well. Our congregation witnessed a scene last Sunday morning that it will not be easy to forget. After Dr. Randolph had preached a touching sermon and our pastor had made the appeal, Father George Downey of Morrison, Colo., came forward and publicly professed Christ as his Savior. He is 75 years old, but, though late, he found pardon. Brother Lloyd Hall also united with the church. THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, E. 24TH AVENUE AND OGDEN ST David E. Over, Minister. Next Sunday afternoon the three Baptist churches will hold union covenant and communion services at Bethlehem Church. Judging by the splendid response on the first Sunday at Zion we may look forward to a great outpouring of the Baptists on that day. Every member and friend of the Zion church is requested and expected to be there. Don't fail to be present or you will regret it. On the fourth Sunday in this month the pastors of Shorter and Zion will exchange pulpits. The pastor of Zion desires that the congregation will give to the Rev. Pope a most hearty response and that every seat in the auditorium will be occupied. The funeral of Deacon J. W. Russell was held from the church last Friday week. That Brother Russell was held in high esteem in the community was attested by the large number of friends who were present, and the many floral tributes which wreathed the casket with garlands. The service was beautiful and impressive and fittingly marked the close of a life which for twenty-five years has stood prominent in religious circles. The family has the sympathy of the community. Our sick list includes this week Sister Minnie Sparks, recently returned from the hospital; Danella Price, who continues about the same. Others reported earlier are recovered or convalescent.

A Pasadena boy asked his father what was meant by the expression: "the father had a Greek profile." The father put down the paper he was reading and replied: "Why, it merely means a classic outline." The mother took a hand, declaring the answer was too short and really a shifty euphemism. "Give our son a long and clear answer," she insisted. Paterfamilias sat up and made this lucid, ornate reply: "A Greek profile is a bold silhouette, blending the Doric and Ionian expression and depicting that clear-cut plastic work of Praxiteles, which is entirely free from the rococo renaissance school and which in modern melodrama, would be called the marble face." Both mother and son took the count, and father resumed his reading of the article: "Why Oysters Have Strong Lungs." — Pasadena News. Mrs. Brown always looks very dubious when her husband comes home a little later than usual and says he has been "kept at the office." She never looks as if she she believed the excuse, which, as a matter of fact, is quite genuine. But some wives seem incapable of realizing that their husbands really are kept late at the office sometimes, and nowadays competition is so keen that a man can't afford to go off at the tick of the clock if he wishes to keep his position. The sensible wife doesn't make a fuss when he is "kept late." She just notices that he looks more tired than usual, and lets him have his dinner and a smoke after in peace and quiet. And you usually find that the husband who receives this sort of treatment is never late home if he can possibly help it. Scott, who was poet, novelist, lawyer, too, would have been greatest of all as journalist. Listen to this from his Journal for February 15, 1826: "Yesterday I did not write a line of 'Woodstock.' Partly, I was a little out of spirits . . . Partly, I wanted to wait for some new ideas. . . Partly, I was a little too far beyond the press. I cannot pull well in long traces, when the draught is too far behind me. I love to have the press thumping, clattering and banging in my rear; it creates the necessity which almost makes me work best. Needs must when the devil drives. . . There is the very spirit of journalism; and that devil, surely, is the printer's devil!" His character was good, his references were excellent and his ability was undoubted. He was a first favorite for the position. "And now," said his future employer, "would you mind telling me your politics? It won't make any difference to me, really, what side you support, only for the smooth working of my business I find it necessary often to know the political complexion of some of my employees." A hard look came into the candidate's eyes. "Politics?" he said, "what are my ponties? The question can be very easily and briefly answered. I'm against politics." He was engaged forthwith. LEARNING TO DANCE, Or a Small Town Man. Being "A Small Town Man" in a big city and trying to keep up with the "big ways," I went to a big dance. Not being on to anything, I found it hard to get a dance, so I asked John what to do. He said to pick me out a girl and ask her for a dance. So I went over to a lady and said: "Lauy, I pick you out for my girl, and ask you for a dance," but before she could answer the gentleman standing next to her—well, he gave me the only hardwood seat on the floor. I explained the matter to John, and he said I didn't do it right. For the next dance I went to another lady and asked her: "Will you have this two step with me?" She said, "I'll have the one." Well, I found John and asked him what she meant, and he said he guessed she had one man and that was enough. Not to be outdone for the next dance, I found another lady and asked her for the waltz. She was very polite, but when she said, "I'll hesitate," I couldn't find John, and just as I got back the music stopped playing. I told her that I was sorry she hesitated so long. She smiled and asked me, "Where are you from?" I grinned and said, "A Small Town." R. O. ELITE DRUG STORE We want your prescription trade.

Beginning with coffee and tea, we ended with sherry, champagne and maraschino; fish, cutlets, rotis, salads, game, puddings and ice going on meanwhile in regular order. If you ask me what I did, I can only say I opened my ears to the animated and intellectual conversation, and my mouth, not to eat, to bute and gasp and wonder at the prodigious consumption of victuals "at that hour of the day. When I reflected that all those people would lunch at two and dine at eight, I bowed my head in humiliation, and the fork dropped from my nerveless grasp." To Kill Crabs and Lobsters. The killing of lobsters and crabs for the table forms the subject of an interesting pamphlet issued by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of London. It gives the results of a series of experiments carried out by Mr. Joseph Sinel, late of the Jersey marine biological laboratory. He comes to the conclusion that the most humane way of killing crabs and lobsters is to place them in cold water and very gradually raise the temperature. The death which ensues is apparently quite painless, and must be somewhat analogous to that of a person succumbing to a "heat wave."

Though diplomats are not liable to arrest for misdemeanors, they practice discretion in affairs that might be brought to the attention of their embassies. Money will not buy liquor after one o'clock in the morning or on Sunday. Keven the Metropolitan club, sometimes supposed to be in a class by itself, has been affected by the latest legislation. Drinks are not “sold, dispensed, or given away” in the club on Sunday or after one in the morning. The real guests at hotels also must go thirsty at the prohibited times. ‘The law is so written that it is impossible for hotel managements to serve liquor legally on Sunday, even though it was paid for on the previous day. That is why diplomats, accustomed to continental life, are calling this fation’s capital “Plymouth Rock.” Debutantes Are Leaving Off Their Long Gloves Te debutantes this season are rot wearing long white kid gloves to dances; in fact, they are hardly wearing them at all. There are many reasons siven for this. Some say that Mme.

The two debutante daughters of Postmaster-General and Mrs. Burleson tever wear gloves to dances, and Genevieve Clark often appears without long white gloves. Of course, the fashion of having long tulle sleeves in evening gowns has much to do with it, for a short glove looks awkward and a long one is un- necessary. It has been said that since women are taking their knitting to the thea- ters and to dances and everywhere else, gloves are useless for them; then too the increased cost of imported gloves may play a small part in it. At the hops at the Military academy and the Naval acaedimy nono of the dancers: wearilong kid gloves: A SERIOUS FAMILY all here to discuss it.” Mr. James Prownson made a sweep- ing gesture with his right arm, ‘The circle included a small group of men and women arranged about the room, half a dozen people of varied ages and descriptions. “It is the greatest event In a woman's life—her marriage—so you must not wonder at our delibera- tion. You are thirty years of age, I believe?” Wayne shifted in his chair, “Yes,” he sald quietly. He was rather weary of the proceedings, al- ‘though, for the sake of the girl, he ‘was willing to make certain conces- sions to the claims and prejudices of her family. “Yes, I am thirty.” | “Thirty! And what have you done with yourself?” Mr. Brownson looked at the young man squarely and aggres- ‘sively. | “Done?” Wayne langhed a little. “Why, I think the principal thing— yes, the greatest thing—I have done is to love your daughter!” | He looked at the girl as he said it. She was sitting very quietly next to her mother. Mr. Brownson went on without not- ing the reply he had made, quite as if it were of too trivial a nature. “You are possessed of a large in- come. Fortunately, my daughter does not require it; nor, at the same time, can we say you have ulterior motives in seeking her hand.” Wayne bowed Mr. Brownson raised a protesting hand. “You love my daughter—good! But what have you done with your life? Thirty years of age, and what have you accomplished?” Wayne looked up frankly. “I don't know of anything in par- ticular,” he said, “but I suppose I shall do_something—perhaps.” “You have occupied your time prin- cipally with frivolities and idleness!” Mr. Brownson came out at last with his long-suppressed sentiment. He looked about him. “I have asked my sisters and brothers, and also Mrs. Brownson’s only living relatives, to hear this matter discussed. We are a serious family, Mr, Wayne—simple, serious people—and the marriage of my daughter—" ‘Wayne looked squarely into the eyes of his hoped-for father-in-law. __“May I marry your daughter, Mr. Brownson?” Mr. Brownson fidgeted. “One moment, please,” he said mild- ly, “This 1s a serious question, and we are, as I sald before, serfous peo- ple. You, as I take it, are not a seri- ous man. You spend your time upon your yacht, in travels of a useless nature, and in this country you race about in a somewhat criminal and reckless manner in your automobile. Do you think it would be wise for a Parent to trust his child to you?” The relatives nodded their heads and looked at their folded hands. Mrs. Brownson raised her handkerchief to “her eyes. "Wayne looked them all over, from Brownson himself at the head, to the little fussing individual, a nervous aunt, at-the end. He marveled that Cicely could have come of such peo- ple. Certainly, she could not follow the bent of her pompous old father, nor yet that of her hysterical mother, ‘who was just now, he was certain, rev- cling in the thought of her child crushed under the wheel of his big white car, of drowned somewhere in the bottom of the sea. The others Were quite impossible. Mrs. Brownson began to cry and audibly. “Jennie!” Mr. Brownson raised his hand. Mrs, Brownson did not see the hand; but she knew it was there, for she instantly ceased. “Cicely, what have you to say?” The girl had been looking quietly at the tips of her fingers. Now, she changed her line of vision until it reached the eyes of her father. “I love him.” She said it simply and without the slightest trace of emotion or hysteria, It was something quite settled in her mind, and all the family councils could not possibly change her. Wayne looked at her gratefully. “Cicely!” Mrs... Brownson sobbed sharply. “You wish to leave me!” The relatives raised their eyebrows and thought Cicely showed a certain Jack of niceness in her frank avowal. “Mother, you married father!" “What do you mean?” “Byery one marries, and T don't see why Jack's motor and his yacht should be placed between us.” Mr. Bfownson looked with gasping astonishment at his child. It was the first time she had ever asserted her- self. “Cicely,” he got out, “do you realize what you are saying? Do you realize that you are questioning me, your Raters Kei RR eee No (grating rl oan se a insufferable old codger, quite a fos- silized specimen of the race, His thirty years ran before him in swift review. He rather fancied he had occupied them somewhat well. “One thing I have not done—” he began. “And that?” Mr, Brownson looked jat him politely. ‘The relatives shared his amiable doubt. “I have neyer bored any one. 1 don’t think I have.” He paused quick- ly and looked at his boots. “I'll tell | you, Mr. Brownson, I think I have oc- cupied my thirty years rather well. I have made myself happy, and tried to make others. I’m sure everyone who has ever been on my yacht has pleas- ant memories of it, and anyone who has ever ridden in my car. I've taken out all sorts of people, from newsboys to bishops. “I don’t know of any special dam- age I've ever done. Certainly, I've never run over any one—not that I know of. I've done my best general- ly, These are probably negative vir- tues, but they're the best I have, all but the biggest and the greatest of them all, loving Cicely.” The relatives looked at each other gingerly. The maiden aunt felt some- what shocked. Mr. Brownson felt the responsiveness of the circle. “That is very well,” he breathed | heavily, “but we are a serious family, and negative virtue is too—well, too negative—quite too much in the ab- stract to satisfy.” “Then, what I need is seriousness of purpose?” “Exactly!” Mr. Brownson joined his finger-tips, ‘Two of the relatives coughed. Mrs. Brownson gurgled. The girl looked at Wayne and smiled. The man instant: ly forgot the others and quickly start ed to his feet. Cicely alone was there, and she was smiling at kim. She was his love and his heart's desire. She was the most that the world might give to him. He loved her, and that was enough for him to know. She loved him, and there was nothing else for him to know. He started to the center ot the room. The girl rose and met him. Mr. Brownson shot up from his seat in amazement. Mrs. Brownson pre- pared for further tears. The relatives leaned back and waited. “What does this mean?” Mr. Brown. son's voice hit the note. of tragedy. “Do you intend to steal her from me?” Indignation mingled with the tragic. “This is too much. We are a serious family. You are simply an idle man of the world. We have noth- ing in common. The conference is over.” Mrs. Brownson decided there were to be no tears. The relatives rose with her. “The conference is decidedly over?” Mr. Brownson loftily repeated. “Father!” The girl gave a little cry. “Father!” Mr. Brownson paused at the agony in his child's cry. Mrs. Brownson again raised her handkerchief. The others made way for a scene. “I don’t see why you are all this way!” The girl choked a little. “I love him, and he is worthy of more than I can give him. Yes, he is. He's better than any of us. He's always doing something for people—poor peo- ple. I know. Jack, you know I love you, and my father can never change me!” Mr. Brownson coughed. From tae resultant sound {t would seem that the cough was uncalled for. “That will do, Cicely; that will do. A last word, perhaps, may be neces- sary, and I would suggest that it be made in private. Jennie, all of us. We shall go up to the library. We shall discuss Mr. Wayne's—philan- thropy alone. “Cicely, you will go to your room. Mr, Wayne, you may remain here, or return in half an hour for our final decision.” With this, the head of the clan Brownson gathered his forces and left the room. Half an hour later he returned again, leading the line. Wayne was there awaiting them. Cicely was be- side him. From all appearances, they had never left the room. Mr. Brownson looked at the girl in some astonishment. “Cicely, what does this mean? 1 thought I sent you to your room. Mr. Wayne, have you taken undue advan. tage?” ‘Wanye spoke very quickly. “Tt means, Mr. Brownson, that T am a serious man myself. 7 should say— perhaps I am.

Entries for the baby show at the stockyards in Denver are coming in thick and fat. Frank Ratchford, a Pueblo hotel clerk, will receive $10,000 in cash as the inheritance from an estate of a relative. Gilbert M. Edmondson, 41, a well-known insurance man, died in Denver from pleural pneumonia, after an illness of one week. Blake Nichols, a young farmer residing east of Boulder, sustained a broken leg when his motorcycle collided with another machine. A surprise party was held in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Aldred at Pueblo. The sixty-fifth birthday anniversary of Aldred was the incentive. A meeting of the Kansas Society of Colorado was held in Denver to make arrangements for the annual dinner dance to be given in Denver January 29. Mrs. Julia A. Bishop, 84 years old, died at the home of her son, William C. Bishop, in Denver, from an attack of pneumonia. She came to Colorado in 1863. C. G. Northup, secretary to Governor Ammons, has been appointed to the office of division clerk by District Judge Wright. Northup succeeds Philps Buell. F. M. Harsin of Rocky Ford a member of the board of county commissioners states that the board paid the last of the bonded indebtedness and that now Otero county is free from debt. The need of a new and better city jail in Pueblo is emphasized in a report of the county visiting committee, made to Judge F. G. Mirick. The present jail is "intolerable," the report says. Organized labor, as represented by the Colorado State Federation of Labor, will indorse the industrial relations commission and the workmen's compensation laws as outlined by Gov. Carlson. The usual business meeting of the Denver district of the Mothers' congress was displaced by a "tea" with Mrs. George Carlson, wife of the governor-elect, and "the first mother" of the state, as guest of honor. ```markdown ``` Henry J. Christ, vice president of the Bank of Georgetown and one of the best known residents of Clear Creek county, died at his home in Georgetown following an illness of two years. Christ was 64 years old. The Denver & Rio Grande railroad is defendant in a $60,000 damage suit filed in the United States court at Jasper, Mo., by Joseph Cole, 16, who lost both legs above the knees when he was run over in Pueblo, July 13. Charged with embezzlement of funds from the National Guard company at Fort Collins, Capt. Williams of that company was arrested at the convict road camp above Boulder, where he has been employed as a guard. Two trials for homicide are to be heard in the District Court at Pueblo during the January term. Mike Sajnovich will be tried for shooting his nephew, Peter Lalich. Albert Goetz is awaiting trial for the death of his wife, who was shot. George Hughes, Dale Mitchell, T. D. Bowman and Claude Timrel, cattlemen, indicted by the grand jury in 1913 and charged with the murder of Peter Swanson, a sheepman, in 1907, were released from custody on order of Judge Thomas J. Black in the District Court at Grand Junction. Mrs. Matthew Fitzsenry of Denver will receive $1,023 from the government for the death of her husband, through the operation of the act of 1908 which permits the Department of Labor to pay for one year the daily wages of the person killed in the service of the reclamation and other bureaus. That the taxpayers of El Paso county lose thousands of dollars annually as a result of the "careless, unbusinesslike, unsystematic, inefficient and irregular manner" in which the county commissioners conduct the business of the county, is the finding of the grand jury, which reported to Judge J. W. Sheafer of the District Court at Colorado Springs. A mother's kiss, a father's handshake and a formal introduction to his own wife were the first things received by Governor Carlson when he returned to the executive offices at the state house, following the inaugural. His wife was first to greet him, Maj. Williams introducing her formally, and then the governor affectionately greeted his proud parents. Mrs. Gilbert McDonough, formerly Miss Marion Brunton, who figured in the double elopement and wedding in Golden was quietly taken out of Denver by her mother, Mrs. D. W. Brunton, according to announcement from the Brunton residence. Governor Ammons was presented an elaborate silver tea set in the governor's office just before the start was made to the Auditorium for the Carlson inaugural. The gift was the token of appreciation of appointees who had served under the Democratic executive. STRIKE PROBE REPORT COMMITTEE URGES REORGANIZATION OF COLORADO MILITIA. Favors Short Ballot for Election of Governor and Lieutenant, Former to Appoint Other State Officers. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver. — The joint committee named by the extra session of the Nineteenth General Assembly last summer to investigate and settle the coal strike in Colorado met finally and agreed to its report to the Twentieth General Assembly. In brief the recommendations of the committee are as follows: Recommends that the constitution be amended so as to bring about the short ballot; for the election of the governor and lieutenant governor, the former of whom shall appoint all other state executive officers. Recommends that the state militia be completely reorganized, because there are too many organizations, so as to do away with the brigade formation and staff; also changes in the system of recruiting from strike zones. Declares that if the governor had had the full and hearty cooperation of all the state executive departments there would not have been a strike; that it could have been prevented. Recommends that an arbitration law be framed and enacted that will give the governor the power to mediate between employer and employé and then use the instrument of public sentiment to overcome stubbornness between disputants. Recommends that all departments of the state having to do with relations between employer and employe should be consolidated under one head—a board, closely co-ordinated in functions with the governor. Recommends that a workmen's compensation law be enacted that will place the burden of insurance against casualty upon the industry. Ammons Heads Sons of Colorado. Denver.—The Sons of Colorado held their annual meeting for the election of officers, electing Governor Ammons president to succeed Thomas P. Boutwell. The newly elected officers are: Elias M. Ammons, president; George M. Hon. E. M. Ammons. T. Wells, vice president; Edward T. T. Taylor of Glenwood Springs, second vice president; Ezra T. Elliott, Del Norte, third vice president; Charles M. Vavender, Leadville, fourth vice president; William P. Harlow, Boulder, fifth vice president; William F. Dieter, Denver, treasurer; Harry Ruffner, Denver, secretary; Oscar Cass, Park McKee French, Roy G. Munroe, William Stewart and George E. Turner, ali of Denver, directors. Ammons Conflict Service 18th Street Denver.—An absolutely normal condition reigned throughout Colorado Monday for the first time since the coal strike was called a year ago last September, according to Governor Ammons. The last of the United States troops had left the state and the civil authorities are again in complete control. The incoming state administration will find itself without any strike problems to meet upon taking office. Held for Killing Pheasant. Denver.—John Brott, 4900 West Tenth avenue, was arrested, charged by the district attorney's office on complaint of Game Warden Poe with killing a pheasant on the outskirts of Denver. Many Women Greet Mrs. Carlson. Denver.—The women of Denver gathered at the home of Mrs. E. M. Ammons to welcome the wife of Governor-elect Carlson to the city. Mrs. Ammons issued no cards to her reception for Mrs. Carlson, and her home was thrown open to the women of Denver who wished to greet the new governor's wife and bid farewell to the old. Women of all sorts and conditions poured through the house in a stream. Rich and poor, young and old, all were presented to the wives of the retiring and newly elected governors. If all men and women had sufficient work, mental and physical, to give them healthy appetites and the means to gratify them with simple foods, the greatest happiness of the greater number would be established on a thoroughly sound basis. We only expect pleasure and comfort to be experienced where ancestral habit through long ages of use has established a sensory track to a center and where that sensory center is permitted to function freely within the scale of its development. Happiness consists essentially in the free and normal use of our functions and any restraint in the normal use of those functions must inevitably lead to unhappiness and ill health. If a flock of hens is confined in perfectly sanitary quarters of limited area and fed what we believe to be a perfectly scientific balanced ration, there will still be a deterioration in the general physical stamina of the group. They will appear dejected and unhappy, and will mope around and grow fat and indolent; also there will be a material drop in egg production with a clearly defined tendency to an abnormal mortality during incubation. The individual metabolism of the flock is thrown out of adjustment by the unnatural restraint and the lack of work. If, however, means are adopted to compel the hens to work for their food, definite signs of deterioration are postponed for a great many generations. Life itself is very tenacious and resistant and if the changes are not too abrupt, any given species will quite easily adapt itself to practically any condition. Under insanitary conditions, of course, the deterioration of a strain is marked and quite abrupt; but even under the worst states imaginable, normal incubation being permitted, chickens will survive, the line quickly and simply adapting to the environment. This is true of the human species. It is stated that the last annual report of Doctor Thomas, health officer of the Finsbury district, London, England, just published, shows that in Finsbury district, the most congested of the London boroughs, where 6,000 families live and sleep in 6,000 rooms, babies are immune to the filth diseases. "Some of these babies," says the report, "as soon as, or even before, they are able to crawl, are placed on the sidewalks early in the day, to be watched or nursed by a girl of four or five years of age. They are true gutter children. Sometimes the immature nurse falls asleep weared by her task, and the baby crawls to the other side of the road, heedless of traffic. Both are flathy and gutter stained. But they seem to live. In fact, the stock from which they have sprung rises superior to the ordinary diseases of childhood." The problem of humanity in general is largely a matter of quality rather than of quantity and to secure this requires thought on all sides. Expert breeders of chickens and of other lower organisms, both animal and vegetable, appear to have learned a solution, at least, they make practical application of principles productive of highly desirable results, while humanity at large ineffectually seeks a life solution by means of "eugenics," or some other equally vague method. We have noted that wheat begins to germinate at 41 degrees Fahrenheit, and that each stage in the development of the plant coincides with a definite heat absorption, the plant going forward to complete maturity under a mean temperature of about 60 degrees. Chickens require a mean temperature of 103 degrees for 21 days and man a temperature of 98.6 degrees for about forty weeks. The more complex the species the greater the amount of heat or energy required to be absorbed to develop it, the more complex the food or fuel required to maintain the organism in efficient condition, and the more serious any disturbance in the life cycle is certain to be. A properly fed organism is always an efficient organism. If chickens, dogs, horses, cows or men are properly fed they are efficient machines and if they are not properly fed nothing else can make them efficient. With chickens the ration and work determine the quantity and the vitality of the eggs, and once hatched or born, as with all other organisms, individual success becomes a matter of food—building material. A deficient diet with chickens produces many peculiar results. Of course, the hen does not know, as we do—or as we can and should—that carbonic acid, water, ammonia and salts from the inorganic world are manufactured into complicated proteins, starches, gums, fats, salines and water combinations suitable for animal consumption. Neither, probably, does she know that the animal world, including herself, takes in these proteins, amylaceous matters, fats, salts and water of vegetable construction, and, extracting the energy from those particular combinations for individual use, converts them back into carbonic acid, water, ammonia and salts all readily available for plant food again. Do You Know That— The hen does not know these things as we do, but the writer knows from personal observation that the average hen will make a vastly harder struggle to correct a deficient diet than will the average human being. The hen doesn't bother about the color of food, but if she feels badly she seems to know instinctively that something is missing and hunts it up. Deficiency in our prepared foods is at the bottom of the greater part of our troubles. BABY FOODS. Of all the species that inhabit this earth the human appears to be the only one not able completely to meet the obligations and fulfill all the functions of parenthood. It is a notorious and regrettable fact that a very large and constantly increasing percentage of infants have to be artificially fed solely because of the functional inability of mothers to deliver milk either in sufficient quality or quantity to supply the nutritive needs of the child. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF Women of hardy country stock and women of savage tribes are rarely if ever troubled by inability properly to nourish their babies at their breasts, but in our towns and cities the trouble grows apace and has come to constitute the chief peril of infancy. How great this peril actually is may perhaps best be comprehended by noting certain evidence obtainable from the published statistics of the city of Berlin, where all foodstuffs and, in fact, everything pertaining to the physical welfare of the people are objects of rigid scrutiny and are subjected to the most comprehensive and thorough modern scientific supervision by the duly constituted authorities. According to the Berlin official death returns for a given year, this evidence shows that, while the mortality among breast fed infants was 7.6 per cent, it rose to 48.1 per cent among the bottle fed babies. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Germany leads the world in chemistry, in science and in scientific methods in general, and inasmuch as the government is more or less paternal and because it considers every healthy child a national and military asset, it is very reasonable to assume that the prepared foods, modified cow's milk and any and all other substitutes for the human milk were undoubtedly as pure and wholesome as it would be possible for human agency to make them. Hence the difference between 7.6 per cent and 48.1 per cent represents an approximate minimum death forfeit incident to artificial feeding—what may reasonably be considered an irreducible minimum penalty levied as nature's protest against human stupidity.

The medical profession is practically a unit on the proposition that every woman should nurse her own child through the period of infancy; but unfortunately no concerted action toward attaining this highly desirable and absolute necessary end is possible, so long as the profession individually considers it good business to bid for popularity.

That it is a woefully defective basis is proved by the fact that man is adjusted to a scale requiring a doubling of the body weight within approximately five months or 150 days after birth, while the cow doubles its body weight within 47 days after birth. In view of what we know about the absolute correspondence among things everywhere throughout the universe the following statements by Bunge are highly significant in this connection: "In one woman during the first month after birth the milk contained 15 per millle proteid, whereas in the tenth month the amount had dropped to nine millle, the proportions of ash having likewise decreased." The diminution of proteid in the milk as lactation proceeds has also been observed and tabulated by other authors for man and animals. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction If not even a wet nurse can "completely replace the mother unless her infant has been born on the same day as her foster child," is it reasonable to expect that a cow may be a fit substitute? Obviously it is futile to hope that any chemist will ever evolve a formula for the successful modification of cow's milk to the human baby needs. And the baby dependent on the cow and a bottle will ever be handicapped to the same extent as is the chick having a kerosene lamp for a foster mother—approximately 40 per cent, plus. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver In the broad sense of the term the secret of healthy plants and abundant crops is known to depend on adequate nutrition, and the key to healthy animal life is the same. Funk's recent demonstration of the vitamines, those complex proteins, minute quantities of which are absolutely necessary to life, throws quite a new light on the food question and makes a logical consideration of tabloid meals forever impossible. The logical line of progress is not in devising substitutes, but in building up the natural supply. Less time given to wrangling over the respective merits of pasteurized, sterilized or raw cow's milk, of patent baby foods and refrigeration, and more thought given to the mother at the right time, is the solution of the problem. An adequate supply of natural mother's milk gives the best heritage any baby can have.

THERE is a greater variety of styles and a greater latitude for the taste of the individual in afternoon gowns than in others. Something like uniformity is evidenced in costumes for the street; women confine their choice in dresses of this kind to one of a half-dozen (or even fewer) accepted styles. But in the afternoon gown they are inclined to run after strange gods. However, these are the gods of unpretentious and conservative styles, it seems, and a definite simplicity is an apparent governing idea in a great many of the new modes. But afternoon gowns are not to be measured by any rule, and there is no harm in repeating that the individual may follow her own sweet will in selecting the styles that please her best. A radical departure from accepted styles was evident in the afternoon Hairdress Without WITH the earliest hats for spring, or with some of them, there is no chance of coifures which require any extra size in the crown or head-size. For the new ventures in millinery are even smaller than the small hats worn this winter. Many of them are merely a narrow band of satin or straw extending like a bandage about the head, supporting a scant crown of satin gathered in to the band at its upper edge. By way of trimming, exquisitely made flowers are sewed flat to the band. There are sailors and other shapes that fit as closely. For such close-fitting headwear the problem is that of disposing of the average quantity of natural hair so that it will not interfere with the fit of the hat, and also to provide a few waves in the locks about the face to soften the severity of straight lines in the hat. The plain collure shown in the picture given here offers a solution that is attractive. It is becoming to most faces and easy to accomplish. dress pictured here, when it first appeared. It was one of those produced by Kurzman, for the display of American designs, at New York. Among many lovely things it was admired and praised, but was so different in outline from prevailing modes that it became something of a sensation. It is clearly set forth in the picture and so plain that it hardly needs description. It is made of corded silk, has a plain, flaring skirt and an equally plain boned bodice. The sleeves are very short, with turned-back cuffs of the material, and a fichu finishes the neck. There is no frill or fall of lace, no girdle, no embroidery or other ornamentation. It is almost austere and is saved by its quaintness and picturesque attributes. Since the advent of this gown doubts as to the coming of the wide rippled skirt have disappeared; it no longer looks unusual. t Waves or Curls The hair is parted on about the face and combed forward, where it is to be coiled and pinned to keep it out of the way, while the back hair is dressed. If there is a sufficient quantity of this to braid into two soft full plaits it may be managed as shown in the picture. The plaits are pinned flat across the back of the head below the crown. If the hair is scanty it will look better twisted into light coils and pinned down. The front hair is to be parted either in the middle or a little to one side and rolled back from the face. The ends are twisted and concealed under the back hair. With the toilet comb strands of the hair about the face are pulled forward into loose waves and pinned with invisible pins into position. A liberal use of the hairpins will keep the coiffure neat looking, and as hair nets are hardly practical for this particular style, the pins are a necessity. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
