PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY WASHINGTON CONFERENCE APPROVES METHODIST UNION VOL. XX1. Baltimore, Md., April 21.—The most important action taken at the Washington Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which came to an end at John Wesley M. E. Church on Monday night, April 19, was the adoption of a resolution offered by the Rev. Ernest Lvon, asking that the law of the church be changed to permit of organic union with other Methodist bodies, which will provide Negro bishops for Negro conferences. Bishop Earl Cranston, who presided over the session, the Rev. Carlton D. Harris, representative of the Southern M. E. Church, and Bishop William Hurt of the Baltimore annual conference have expressed approval of the plan of organic union, and the matter now rests with the general conference of the M. E. Church South. The resolutions offered by Dr. Lyon, and adopted by an over whelming vote, are as follows: RESOLUTIONS Whereas, Organic Union of all Methodism in the United States of America is a problem, the solution of which is attracting worldwide interest; and Whereas, the Methodist Episcopal Church South, through its last General Conference, has expressed already its willingness for unity, by the adoption of a plan suggested by the Federal Council of Methodism and which tentative plan provides for four jurisdictional or quadrennial conferences, one of which shall include the colored membership of the denomination; and Whereas, our Church by the frequent utterances of its most prominent leaders have expressed this unity contemplated in the plan is a condition to be desired, and that the plan presented comprehends a workable basis and cannot be unceremoniously dismissed; and Whereas, we have been impressed with the public utterances upon the subject by the greatest living Methodist', the Rev. Bishop Earl Cranston, the distinguished president of this Conference, whose ripe scholarship, wide experience, exalted position and consecrated life place him in the fore of ecclesiastical statement and entitle him to precedence as an arbiter and councilor; and Whereas, the latest and most potent official expression upon the subject has come from the Rev. Carlton D. Harris, who as representative of the Southern Methodist Episcopal Church in his address before the Baltimore annual conference which has just closed its work in Baltimore, in speaking of the unification of the three Methodisms, said: "The world waits with baited breath for the answer of the Methodist Episcopal Church General Conference decision of the Southern M. E. Church as expressed by its general conference"—and to which Bishop William Burt pertinently replied, "There is a revival on and I hope that it is so warm that it will melt Methodism together. We are waiting for the gentle south to come nearer to us;" and Whereas, in our judgment this tentative plan providing for jurisdictional conferences will throw us upon our own resources, will enable us to stand upon our feet, will make us competent to act and plan for ourselves, will quicken race conscience, self-reliance and race solidarity; therefore be it resolved First, That we, in order to facilitate action, record ourselves as favoring the jurisdictional or quadrennial plan, that we regard it as a providential way, which if adopted by the next general conference will lead the church out of difficulties and embarrassments. Second, That we declare it a plan eminently to be desired, because as the editor of the Zion Herald has declared, in the main, all the interests of the colored membership full fiedged bishops, having equal authority with those of the white membership, because it will give them that freedom of action to develop within their own border as a self-constituted body, which freedom they cannot now enjoy. Third, That we approve this plan because in their arrangement it would open the way for real opportunity for development of the race along all lines, and it would quicken its aspirations and give it an impetus that would be magical in its effects and consequences. For these reasons I move the adoption of these resolutions. (Signed) Ernest Lyon, M J. Maglor, J. W. E. Brown, J. L. Thomas, C. Y Trigg, S. A. Virgil.

Their admirable behavior has turned many enemies into friends. The necessity that has led to the employment of colored soldiers on the Continent of Europe deals a shattering blow to racial prejudices. After the war is over, the position of the dark peoples in the political economy of Greater Britain and Greater France will never be the same that it was before the conflict took place. The destiny of the Indian subjects of the British Empire and the Negro citizens of the French Republic is bound to be completely reshaped as the aftermath of the war. Hints of it have already begun to appear in the British and French press, even though both the nations are engaged in a life and death struggle and have no time to think of any constructive work.—Southern work man. SIMPLE JUSTICE If the Negroes who represent character and culture received greater credit for it at the hands of our white friends they might be relied upon to do a little more in the direction of reforming what is known "as the lower class" among them, but when it is insisted that there is no difference between them, when real respectable colored people are deprived of the accommodation and esteem, which should be a sure and certain reward for upright conduct it is quite natural for them to grow careless with regard thereto. Our plea is "if simple justice is done to the good and well meaning Negro, he will contribute as much to the preservation of good government, obedience to law and order, and the evolution to Christian conduct as any other people under the sun. Let our white friends resolve to help us stimulate our more illiterate and less responsible people to grow better, and the millenium of peace will dawn upon us, as the sun-beams fall from the heavens above. "Honor to whom honor is due" is the text, and the sermon preaches itself. The strong white race, with centuries of culture and freedom behind it and a firm and steady discipline finds many oddities and abstractions, many strange and grave peculiarities within itself and many aggravating conditions which it would like to see altered and improved, but its preachers, editors, orators, historians and poet never censure and condemn the whole race for the conduct of the more worthless and less responsible element therein. On that principle let them deal with our race, and every member of it will feel encouraged to make the --- post of honor a public station. Then, and not until then, will the races become truly friendly to each other and strive together to make a peaceable commonwealth, wherein all men of every creed and nation, race and color kindred and tongue shall be happy and contented. NOT TRULY CONVERTED (From Philadelphia Tribune) Philadelphia ought to be a pleasant place in which to live after some 45,000 people have been converted in a short time, and those 45,000 are working for the conversion of others. The Philadelphia Traction Co., awakening to the fact that colored people help to swell their daily income, decided as a matter of business fairness, to employ a few of them as mortormen. The white conductors and motormen say they will "strike," if colored men are employed. They fulfill their threat. But some cars are running, manned by colored conductors and motormen. The next step? A mob is formed to prevent the cars from moving. Colored men who attempt to take the cars out from the barns are dragged off and beaten in the most brutal fashion, in spite of the presence of the public. But who are among the leaders of this mob, proving that the right to run one's business in his own way may exist as "a scrap of paper" in theory, but not in practice? The late converts of the Rev. Mr. Sunday! Just as enthusiastic in this piece of devilment as when a few weeks ago they were "hitting the trail!" You are perplexed at the fact. You say, "How can Christians do such things!" Some cry out: "See! Christianity has failed." But that which has never been tried, cannot be said to have failed. You are perplexed because you believe something exists, that does not exist. You assume a condition of soul that does not exist. The standard Dictionary says of Conversion, in its Theological sense: "The act of turning, or of being turned from a sinful state or course to the love and service of God," the spiritual change by which the soul is turned from sin to God." To give up the drinking of alcoholic beverages or to stop stealing are certainly good things, but they do not necessarily have any connection with Scripture conversion. One may never drink, or steal, etc., and yet be a perfect devil in many ways. To go and shake a man's hand, especially in a state of excitement, has nothing necessarily to do with "love and service of God," which must show themselves in love and service to men. Mr. Sunday may have done some good, but he has no power to convert men to love and service by gym- RACE NEWS Philadelphia, Pa., April 21.—I. T.

Cummings has introduced ordinance in the First Branch City Council to repeal the segregation measures now on the books. Mr. Cummings declared that not only was the health of the Negro himself endangered, but he also became a menace to the white citizens by whom he is employed. The ordinances were introduced by request of the colored Health Conference held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Lanvale street and Druid Park avenue.

Another alleged outrage by Negroes proved to be a canard of the worst sort when Adelle Ginnsz, a white woman, declared to police officers that she had been attacked at the corner of Meridian and Ohio streets, a centrally located spot, by three Negroes, two men and one women, and dragged to a vacant lot nearby. She declared in her carefully rehearsed cock and bull story that something white had been thrown over head, her shoulders bared, and pins stuck in her body by her assailants. It was just a year ago that the officers had been fed upon a similar story by a young telephone operator, so they were inclined to take the Ginnsz woman's story with salt. She was swathed in bandages and to all appearances was suffering from severe injuries. Investigation followed, but after the officers applied the "third degree" to her, the woman confessed that the tale was a fabrication. The other woman's story was told that she might escape from paying a board bill, but the detectives could not discover the reason for the fabrication by Miss Ginnsz. Electricity and Lightning.

In the battle of Celaya Gen. Villa's horse was shot under him in a charge of the "battalion of death," according to an official report from Chihuahua to Enrique C. Llorente of the Villa agency at Washington. The official announcement from Berlin shows that the Germans are now on the defensive along their new line north of Ypres. The statement is made that British attacks broke down "with extraordinarily heavy losses." That there is no shortage of either men or munitions in the German army is shown by the fact that the Germans are conducting an offensive in the heights of the Meuse as well as in Flanders. Their attacks in the Meuse failed, according to the French official report, in an effort to recapture Les Eparges. The German rush in Flanders has halted, at least for the moment. Official communications from the German, French, British and Belgian war departments Tuesday bring out this point, although it is not clear whether the allies have accomplished anything of importance further than to check the advance of their opponents.

Total Gross Value of Ore From Bonanza Shoot Is Said to Exceed $1,000,000. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Cripple Creek, Colo.—The late shipment from the Cresson mine "vug" or cave at the 1,200-foot level, made a few days ago, is reported unofficially to have milled to a gross value of about $200,000 in gold. The consignment was made in four carload lots, two of sacked high-grade ore and two of ore in bulk, from which while carrying excellent average values to the ton, not classed as strictly bonanza ore by comparison with the sacked material. It is believed that the high-grade shipment returned not far from $140,000 gross, and that the coarse ore returned a total gross value of about $55,000. Since the great riches were encountered in the Cresson, a little more than four months ago, the total gross value of all the shipments which have been made from the ore shoot in the cave section is somewhere between $1,000,000 and $1,200,000 in gold, estimated on information from semi-official sources. The record of gold production during the last four months from the Cresson bonanza shoot is the best that has ever been recorded within that length of time from any gold mine on the American continent, it is stated. At the present time conditions for still further heavy production from the "vug" workings are reported to be favorable. It is reported that the Queen Gold Mining Company, formerly known as the El Oro Company, which took over a few months ago all the holdings of the latter corporation on Battle mountain and adopted the former title, is about to begin an active plan of development which contemplates sinking the shaft an additional depth of 125 feet or more and the extension of one of the levels to a distance of about 400 feet.

Bob” Smalls, who died recent- ly at his home in Beaufort, S. C., was one of the richest and most noted Ne- groes of his time, Born in Beaufort in 1839, a slave, he spent his early boyhood on the river and was made pilot of the Confederate gunboat Planter, which was used as a dispatch boat by the post commander of Charleston. Under cover of darkness one night in 1862, when all the white officers of the boat were ashore, Smalls took her our under the Confederate uns and delivered her and her crew of eight men over to the Union au- Uhorities, He was well rewarded for this serv- ice and made a pilot in the navy. He: was serving in that capacity on the monitor Keokuk when the vessel was struck 96 times in the attack on Fort Sumter on April 7, 1863, sinking the next morning: just after the crew had been taken off. Another story of his coolness under fire is related of Smalls in connection with the Planter. He was on her deck on one occasion when she was running a gantlet of fire from the Confeder- ate batteries, but another man was in charge of her as pilot. Suddenly this man's nerve broke completely, and he left the wheel and hid in the coal bunkers. For a few moments the Planter was without a pilot. Then Smalis realized what had happened, cushed into the wheelhouse, and brought the boat through successfully. At the close of the war a bill was introduced into congress to make him a captain on the retired list, but the bill was tabled on the ground that no civilian had been made an officer on the retired list for services rendered, and that it would create a bad pre- cedent. Altiough absolutely poor and {llit- ‘rate when he first arrived in the Union lines, Smalls was both shrewd and courageous in facing big risks. His sudden wealth did not spoil him. He hoarded it until he saw a good chance for investment in buying up the rich farm lands which Were going inder the hammer to meet unpaid taxes, His title to these lands was vhallenged, but a decision of the su- preme court proved his claim to them. Smalls soon entered politics. First he was in the state legislature, and then served several terms in congress. While there he once got into trouble, and it was a white senator from South Carolina, representing some of the bluest blood of the state, who helped him out of the difficulty. A state law in South Carolina made it a penal offense for a legislator to accept reward for voting in a certain way for any legislation. While a mem- ber of the legislature, Smalls was guilty of breaking this law in the case ot one bill. His fa enemies found it out and arrested ‘him on the charge. This happened just when he was Ko- ing to take his, seat in congress as a representative from South Carolina He secured bail, proceeded immedi- ately to Washington, and then claimed exemption from the charge in the state courts on the ground that he was a member of the federal legisla. ture. This claim was not allowed, however, and had it not been for the help of the South Carolina senator, who, by the way, held the conven- tional southern views as to the status ef Negroes, Smalls’ political career might haye come to a sudden close. Although he never mentioned the in- cident in any of his autobiographical writings, it is said that he never de- Our work in the South is absorbing and interesting because of what has been done and because of what re- mains to be done. In New York state, for example, each child in the public school has spent on his educa- tion about $26. In Alabama each Negro child has spent on his educa- tion from the public school fund $1.49. In New Jersey each child has spent upon it from the public school fund $31, Hach Negro child in Georgia has spent upon him for his education from the public school fund $1.42. In Illi- nois each child in the public schools has spent upon him from the public school fund $23. In South Carolina each Negro child has spent upon him for his education trom the public school fund $1.09. In a state like New York from seven to nine years are required to com- plete a public school course of nine months in the year. Under present conditions, it will require 14 years for a Negro child to complete a pub- lie school course of nine months in the year in Virginia, In Florida 20 years would be required; in Alabama 24 years would be required; in Louisi- For traffic on Lake Akanogan, Brit- ish Columbia, the Canadian Pacific railway has launched’a steamer 200 feet long and 40 feet wide, steam heat- ed and electrically lighted, and with a passenger capacity of 400.

He finally failed to be re-elected when the Democrats regained control of this constituency in South Carolina. President McKinley appointed Smialls Collector of the Port of Beau- fort, and this post he held under suc- ceeding administrations until Presi- dent Wilson displaced him in 1913. He was always a staunch Republican and was delegate to several national con- ventions. “General Bob” acquired his title from his connection with his state militia. In 1873 he was appoint- ed Heutenant-colonel in the Third regi- ment and had risen to the rank. of major-general of the Second division when he was legislated out of the posi- tion in 1877. At New Orleans a short time ago the most notable gathering of Ne- groes in this country was held—the Bishops’ Council of the African Meth- odist Episcopal church. These bish- ops came from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Wilberforce, Ohio, Atlanta, Little Rock, Detroit, Columbia, 8. C., and Nashville, and represent more than six thousand churches scattered over ths country and in foreign lands. Perhaps no organization of Negroes has a more interesting history than the African Methodist —piscopal church. February 14, the one hundred and fifty-fifth anniversary of the birth of its founder, Richard Allen, who was born a slave in Philadelphia, Pa., February 14, 1760, when slavery flour: ished in the North as well as the South. He was, however, an extra- ordinary man, even as a slave. He caused the conversion of his own mas- ter, who proposed to let him buy his freedom. He saved by working at odd times, and about 1780, purchased his freedom and that of his brother for $2,000. He then went out as a preacher. In 1784 he was present as a spectator at the first Methodjst general confer. ence at Baltimore, Md. In 1786 he lo- cated in Philadelphia after preaching in New Jersey, Delaware and Mary- land. About this time the number of Negroes, or as they were called then “Africans,” belonging to St. George's Methodist church was very great—in- deed, so great that the trustees thought it best to confine them to a certain portion of the church. Many of them, however, preferred to have their own éhurch, so that in 1787 they withdrew from St. George's church ‘and started an “African” Methodist church. In 1794, they purchased an old blacksmith shop and moved it up: on a lot which they had purchased, and began worship there, “under their own vine and fig tree,” in what they chose to call Bethel African Methodist church. ‘This property cost less than $1,000. It is still owned by the church and is worth today more than $100, 000, and is the oldest piece of property owned by a large Negro organization | Allen was a great leader and soon had a flourishing church. Meanwhile in New York, New Jersey and Mary. land, other independent Negro churches were established. He conceived the dea of getting these together into one compact general organization. After visiting them he extended an invita tion to meet in Philadelphia in April, 1816, to form a Christian denomina tional body under the name of the “African Methodist Bpiscopal church.’ ‘This was done, and Richard Allen was ‘elected and ordained the first bishop of this church, and the first Negro bishop in America. ana 26 years would be required, and in South Carolina 31 years would be required, These figures give an in- sight into the work that yet remains. In Mississippl, for example, only 50 per cent of the Negro children are en- rolled in the public schools; in Geor: gia, Alabama and South Carolina only @ little over 40 per cent of the Negro children are enrolled. In many ot the counties of the South from ten to fifteen times more money is spent on the education of the white child in the public schools than is spent on the edueation of the Negro child.

Western Newspaper Union News Servica. London, April 29.—According to claims made in Berlin the left wing of the allies’ landing force ow the Gal- lipoli peninsula, which General Von Liman Vonvanders, the German com- mander of the Turkish forces, report: ed as holding out, has now surren: dered to the Turis. ‘This report is denied by the Brit ish, who claim they have been vic torious, establishing the landing forces across the end of the Gcllipoli penin sula, and who declare they are mush ing the Moslem troops back in a de termined dash toward the city of Con stantinople. Reporting on the battle in Flanders ‘Sir John Fresch says: “Our operations in conjunction with the French have definitely stopped the German attack, marking the conclu- sion of another German attempt to break through the allied lines around Ypres and along the Yser canal, which Drought about one of the most san- guinary battles of the war. This, how- ever.” he says, “only brings to an end the first phase of the battle, for the allies have yet to win back the ground which the, lost in the great German sweep. For this purpose they are now delivering counter attacks against the German lines.” Only at one place, Steenstraate, have the Germans managed to keep their footing on the western bank of the canal, while to the north of Ypres the positions remain much as they were, the allies making no claims to an advance there and the Germans re- porting that all the British attacks have been repulsed. To hold these lines, the Germans have brought up further reinforce: ments, and Belgium, behind them, has been denuded of troops. The towns and villages in Belgium are being guarded by only a handful of sentries. Fighting also continues in Cham Pagne, where the Germans make claim to the capture of a strong Freneh position, in the Argonne and the Woevre, where the French sa) they are progressing, and in the Vosges, where both sides claim to be in possession of Hartmans-Weilerkopt It is probable that this mountain which commands the plains of Alsace has changed hands several times; this would account for the contradictory reports. ‘The Russians and Austro.Germans are heavily engaged in the region of Uzok Pass In the Carpathians and in the direction of Stry, where an at tempt is being made to striie at the Russian communications. ‘The reports as to the intentions of Italy are as varied as they are nu merous, but the Italian embassy at London has authorized the statement that nothing is known there of any impending change in the Italian pol fey.

In our invitation of special attention to the first request of individual interest in it among our peers, having the interest of a liberty-loving, progressive unity at heart takes this opportunity of giving information our guidance in the elections to be held on the 30th day. The importance of the school election cannot be abridged about thoroughness and efficiency and the head of such affairs men who, possessing the allys and means will not allow their scruples to be bringing to the few instead of the many, working out the whole, but who laboring in the fearlessness and unteuousness of their principle will offer the best people without unnecessary waste of public funds to the taxpayer. After the election on May 23rd for May 18th, when we will be put to the test of thirty-eight or more candidates for the special Welfare, Commissioner of Property and Election last issue we reminded you of some of the heat through the unfair and unwarrantable treatment of present officials who are seeking re-election, and we found in your ears so that you cannot and will not treat these candidates when you go to the polls. After the election the names of candidates who have voted by the Election Commission, as well as their appear. The majority of these are persons business and sometime ago filled public positions in the city, and we can only at this moment instill closely and interestingly for the declarations to deal to the public for support in this cause.

Bear in mind that the greatest advantage, harmony and peace is the franchise, and, as forethought and intelligence makes our existence with our fellow Americans but with the world in mutual relationship. Follow us carefully in our requirements of the choice of those who will stand for justice for a class, creed or color,—changing night to day, day, health, sorrow to joy, poverty to riches, which will be to all, retrogression to none and a fellow-feeling perpetuated. In our invitation of special attention to the forthcoming elections and our request of individual interest in it among our people, the Colorado Statesman, having the interest of a liberty-loving, progressive and wide-awake community at heart takes this opportunity of giving information that is necessary for our guidance in the elections to be held on the 3rd and 18th of the current month. The importance of the school election cannot be overlooked as where the education of the masses is concerned, particular action must be engaged to bring about thoroughness and efficiency and therefore we must have at the head of such affairs men who, possessing the ability to grasp educational ways and means will not allow their scruples to have the mastery of them, catering to the few instead of the many, working out the part to the detriment of the whole, but who laboring in the fearlessness of their manhood and the righteousness of their principle will offer the best possible advantages for all the people without unnecessary waste of public funds or overwhelming burden to the taxpayer. After the election on May 3rd, we must sharpen our wits for May 18th, when we will be put to the test in the selection of three out of thirty-eight or more candidates for the positions of Commissioner of Social Welfare, Commissioner of Property and Election Commissioner. In our last issue we reminded you of some of the heartaches we have suffered through the unfair and unwarrantable treatment given us by some of the present officials who are seeking re-election, and we hope it will sound and resound in your ears so that you cannot and will not forget how "charitably" to treat these candidates when you go to the polls. In succeeding issues prior to the election the names of candidates who have filed and have been accepted by the Election Commission, as well as their declarations to the public will appear. The majority of these are persons popularly known, being in business and sometime ago filled public positions with credit to themselves and the city, and we can only at this moment instruct you to watch our columns closely and interestingly for the declarations of the candidates in their appeal to the public for support in this cause. With thousands of voters among us who are determined to be no longer guided by the mere appearance of things, nor be deceived by municipal experimentalists or office-seekers for self-aggrandizement, we again entreat you to join us in wielding the franchise to our advantage and improve the conditions by which we are environed thereby enabling us to maintain our position as the leading and only advocate of our people in this part of the country, in the publication of all sufferings borne by us and the establishment of remedies that will be effectual this time and the ages to come. Bear in mind that the greatest asset to American freedom, liberty, harmony and peace is the franchise, and when exercised with due care, forethought and intelligence makes our existence in common not only with our fellow Americans but with the world in our national and international relationship. Follow us carefully in our requirements of the candidates and go with us in the choice of those who will stand for justice for all Americans, irrespective of class, creed or color,—changing night to day, darkness into light, sickness to health, sorrow to joy, poverty to riches, which will necessarily mean progress to all, retrogression to none and a fellow-feeling of good cheer that will be perpetuated.

Greatness is the state of being great, that is, a great scholar, a great philosopher or great debater. It may be, and possibly is that greatness is attained by some virtuous acts, for instance, a great scholar must acquire the habit of study, the philosopher must acquire the habit of research and thought, a GREATNESS. Is greatness a virtue? It would seem that it is not considered abstractly. Greatness is the state of being great, that is, a great scholar, a great philosopher or great debater. It may be, and possibly is that greatness is attained by some virtuous acts, for instance, a great scholar must acquire the habit of study, the philosopher must acquire the habit of research and thought, a great debater must of necessity be a logician and have the art of sifting propositions and syllogisms in order to discover the fallacies of arguments. We have said that these qualities are the stepping stones to greatness in the abstract; but greatness of itself is not a virtue. The conclusion is then that great men are not good because they are great, they may be great because they are good, but goodness is a virtue in itself. There are three things which must enter into and become a part of an individual that he may become great after the fashion of Jesus Christ. First, he must be truthful; second, he must be honest; third, he must be moral. A great race must therefore, have individual greatness, and wherever a race preponderates in greatness, it is because of its individual greatness. If we would stop to make a selection of what we call great men, from all the races, selecting ten in number; the Negro would be the equal of any ten men or women of any race on earth. This statement may be questioned and possibly disputed, but we say that out of ten millions of Negroes in this country, there can be found ten who will equal ten from any other race on the face of the globe. Of course there may be a difference along some given line, but in the aggregate, the Negro would even up, and yet our opportunities have not been the same. The white man has behind him thousands of years of what the world calls greatness, an ancestry of which to boast, of achievements and victories of which any people should be proud. Over against theirs, the Negro has nothing of which he can be proud; but the providence of God in perpetuating his life by giving him an endurance which is simply wonderful. We are sowing for our posterity, while the whites are reaping theirs and if upon such heights, we must sow, what must the harvest be, greater heights of course. The dominant people of this country are not all great people, of course they dominate as a whole, as the Caucasian race; but the few good and great among them are their main stake as can be attested by their history. Their good blood is traceable through periods of hundreds and thousands of years. When the Negro will have 'put behind him a thousand years, he will have wiped out every trace of what seems to be the line of demarkation now. It is only a question of time in the accomplishment of anything. The greatness of the people whom we serve was not acquired in a day, it took years of toil and patience to reach the heights upon which they stand today and we can and must go up the same; but must make the distance in a shorter time, and if we would, we must make good and great men an individual greatness, family greatness, community greatness, and on and on until the crime of rape shall not be heard in all of this fair land of ours, and until the lynchers' arms are paralyzed and his maddened brain is benumbed, then shall America enter the highway which leads to the sunlit hills of God's glory whose effulgence shall shade in darkness the history—yes the human history, of our times and doings. cials have been notified by fifteen districts that evening classes in industrial education will be established this fall. The districts are all in the mining regions, and the pupils will be miners. Other districts have indicated that they will organize classes in industrial work, agriculture or the household arts. The schools may be the all-day school, the continuation school to supplement the regular course, or the evening class. The state board of education has approved a bulletin prepared by the industrial and agricultural education experts of the department, which defines vocational education and gives the interpretation of the law passed by the last legislature. Attention is called to the fact that the commonwealth, under the terms of the vocational school act, will give school districts and unions of school districts maintaining vocational classes an amount equal to two-thirds of the sum which has been expended during the previous school term for instruction in practical subjects and closely related technical and academic subjects, but no district will be paid more than $5,000 a year. The law makes no provision for reimbursement for the teaching of manual training and domestic science as generally conducted, and, in order to be approved for state aid, the courses must be strictly vocational in nature and carried on in accordance with state requirements. Vocational education, according to the bulletin, must give definite preparation for a definite occupation and the teaching of agriculture to come under this provision for state aid will have to be placed on a vocational basis. horses from Europe, and, according to the government statistics, about 75,000 animals were exported in the last month of last year. Since then probably 100,000 have been sent abroad to be sacrificed to the god of war. The purchase and shipment of horses here has not affected the market, because most of the animals sent to Europe were of a kind that ordinarily could not be bought in the open market. They were not first-class horses. Owners of the best horses did not send the animals to market because they realized they could get better prices in this country later on. According to the government figures there were in this country the first of the year more than 24,000,000 horses, or about one for every five persons. We could sell ten times the number of horses that have been purchased by foreign nations without appreciably diminishing the supply in the United States. The big demand for horses, in my judgment, will occur after peace has been declared. When that comes the countries at war, with the exception of Russia, will probably be short of horses for agricultural work. Russia had, prior to the outbreak of the war, about the same number of horses there are in this country, and in the whole world there are perhaps 100,000,000 horses. It would be impossible to kill enough horses in the war to make any marked impression on the world's supply, just as it would be impossible to kill enough men to threaten the extinction of the population. grow. You may be assured that flies have a place in the economy of nature. They are not an enemy of man. They hold the same relation to us as the scavenger men do. Do not kill the buzzards. Remember that if flies torment or in any way disturb you it is not the fly, but it is yourself that is the tormenter and disturber of yourself. If there be no breeding place and nothing for them to feed on, there will be no flies, and if there be a place for them to breed and something for them to feed on, then it is well that there are flies. If you do not wish to be tormented by flies, then keep pure. You are more apt to be disturbed by them if you are ill. If you are pure, sweet, clean and healthy and your dwelling is likewise, no flies will stop over on their trip to your neighbors, where is filth in body and dwelling.

The increasing trade between the United States and South America can only be retained by American merchants who study Spanish and learn the customs of the people with whom they have to deal. When a foreign merchant buys goods he will go to the merchant who knows his language and understands the customs of his country. For many years the United States made very little progress in dealing with merchants in foreign countries because the salesman sent out seldom knew the language of the country he was in and had to talk to them through an interpreter. Every year the merchants in the United States are getting closer to the trade in the Spanish-speaking countries, and it will not be very long before a large number of merchants from Central and South America will visit the United States each year to purchase goods. If the merchants in this country hope to do business with the men from the Spanish-speaking countries they must have a knowledge of the Spanish language. Already a number of the public schools in the United States are teaching Spanish. When the institution becomes general it will not be very long before the United States government will be able to make an interesting report upon how the trade with South and Central America has been increased through the teaching of Spanish in the schools.

The Executive Board met at the residence of Mrs. Clarence Holmes, 2139 Curtis St., Tuesday evening last at 8 o'clock. All members responded to the roll-call and business of importance and vital interest was transacted. Seventy-five names were added to the list of members of the League, many of whom are old reliable citizens who have always identified themselves with anything that stands for the good of a community and the betterment of humanity. This speaks well for the plan of development of the organization which is being carried out satisfactorily, and the keen interest evinced by the board in the forthcoming election will find a true and real reflection by the hearty support of the League in whatever measure is brought forward to promote the best interests of the people. The object of the organization being to purge all the evil from among us and retain and maintain the good, there is every reason to hope our indorsement will be for candidates who declare for right for all the people under any circumstances.

The third quarterly meeting happening just at a time when the revival is in full blast gives this occasion unusual significance. A great outpouring of Holy Spirit and of the people as well is expected. Presiding Elder Ward will deliver one of his Holy Ghost sermons at 11 a. m. and Dr. J. P. Howard will be on the firing line in the afternoon and evening. At 3 p. m. he will deliver his great sermon, "The Eucharist Feast," for the communion servicee, when Revs. S. A.

All classes and all ages are flocking to the services and are being saved. Despite the continuous rain last Sabbath, our children's service was held with a representative number present, with two children confessing Christ as their Savior. The meeting will continue through next week. Bring your unsaved friend and let us help him into the Kingdom. PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF THE HOLY REDEEMER. 22nd Ave. and Humboldt St. Rev. Henry B.

The sacrament of confirmation was administered by Bishop Brewster of Western Colorado to seven candidates on Tuesday last, one being privately received, being incapacitated to attend. The bishop spoke from the words, "Walk in the Spirit," and made an earnest appeal to the newly confirmed as well as the congregation to follow the command, as nothing could result but success and triumph in the fear of God. By request of the vicar the new members must be present at the early celebration to partake of their first communion. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN. E. 23rd Ave. and Washington St. Pastor, J. A.

Wallace, for the service rendered last Sabbath at both services. Rev. Wallace ably filled the pulpit at the forenoon hour, while Rev. Over and Mrs. F. B. Tule occupied the pulpit at evente. Mrs. Tule's lecture on Africa was full of interest. During the continuance of Rev. Thos-Hazell's sickness, Rev. I. H. Wallace will occupy the pulpit. At the last meeting of the Presbytery of Denver in the 23rd Avenue church, April 20, Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell of the People's church was unanimously elected Moderator for the next twelve months. In addition thereto, the recently elected Moderator was without a dissenting vote the choice of the house to represent the Presbytery of Denver at the 1916 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A. The conferring of these distinguished marks of honor on the pastor of the People's church is without doubt faint expressions of appreciation of Rev. Thos-Hazell and his work in Denver and Dearfield. It is of interest to note that in spite of the scarcity of money, the expunging of 43 names from our roll recently, leaving a net communicant membership of 96 persons, that the People's church is the second from a point of financial merit in the Presbytery, the First Presbyterian church of Golden being the first. Every agency of the church was considered by the People's, the average contribution per member for the last year being $35.00. Hard to beat.

But Amos was not to be gainsaid He had waited five long weeks to get across the range to Bartonville. An uncle, dying, had left him a good team of horses and a truck wagon and a Httle sum of money. Amos was all for joining a young friend in a small business at the nearest city. The rig would bring a good price. “Five hundred dollars is some capi- tal and my friend has as much more. I feel that I'm built for business, dad.” ‘The old man kept his weather eye fixed suspiciously on the horizon as he gave a reluctant consent to the proposed journey. He was getting tred of ranch rigors himself, and it was pleasant to think of comfortable town life. In no sense did he demur from Amos trying a business experi- ment. The weather prospects, how: ever, were in ominous disfavor with him. To the last, even as the spir- iled team started off the next morn- tng, he persisted that Amos was tak- ing risks and advised a week's delay. “Dad was right,” spoke Amos to himself 36 hours later. Night was coming on and a blinding snow storm had long since driven the team off the straight trail. Were it not that the steep divide lay behind him now, dan- Kerously snow slogged, Amos would have made back for the home shelter. The snow was soft, clinging and blinding.

At the end of four hours the venturesome Amos came face up agalust a dismal catas. trophe. Horses, wagon, Amos and all had slid and plunged where a snow ledge had given way It was a roll rather than a plunge and Amos landed waist deep in a ieavy drift, unhurt. The wagon lost two wheels in striking a rock. “Whoa!” shouted the disconcerted wayfarer urgently as the horses tore themselves loose from the wreck. Rut the steeds were frightened, deat to command. Their harness trailing, they struggled up the Incline and were lost to view, and when their owner regained the mountain level he saw (hem dashing away beyond reach or recall For several hours he strove to fol: low and locate them, Then his whole body snow-clogged, wearied, exhaust- ed, he realized that he must set about seeking some safe shelter for the night. At length Amos found a depression under a rocky ledge fronting away from the flerce roaring blasts. Day was dying. The prospect was not only forlorn, but even perilous, Tt was a auestion which way he should proceed with the morning, homeward or town- ward. “It's a two days’ tramp either way,” he reflected. “The horses are lost. ‘They will never find their way back to the ranch and in such dangerous weather it 1s useless looking for them.” He had some food in his knapsack and after a brief repast settled down to rest for the night. It was hard to sleep amid the anxieties and uncer- tuinties of the hour, however Suddenly, as he lay thinking and planning for the morrow, Amos sprang up as a quick glare showed across the ridge valley. “Why,” he exclaimed, is a house—a cabin, and {t ts burn- Ing up!” ‘Amos ieft bis shelter. The snow was blinding, progress aimost 1nposs! ble The blazing structure was a guide, however. He was fairly worn out as he reached the scene of the con flagration. He was startled, thrilled, as just beyond the flaming heap he noted a fair young girl, with ashen face and terrified eyes shrinking with- in the doorway of a little shed, appar- ently the only human denizen of the isolated spot. “What does it mean—you, and alone?” he irresistibly exclaimed. At first the young girl shrank from him with a natural timidity. Then his open honest face seemed to reassure her. She was overcome with excite- ment, and terror, and tears. In frag- mentary scraps her story was told. She was Elise Bradley, and this was the home of her brother. She had come to visit him for a few days. He had gone to Bartonville, where she was a teacher of music. He had not returned on account of the storm. The place had taken fire. She was home less. Oh, she would never see her own home again! The storm, the cold— “Dear young lady,” broke in Amos. valiant from the true chivalry of his earnest nature; her beauty, her for- lorn situation appealing to all that was brave and manly within him— “take cheer!” In after years Amos could never think of the ensuing three days with- out a shudder, The loose cold shed was spared by the fire. He found within it an old stove and soon haé its chilliness in a measure minimized Then with his charge half corrfort able he fonght his way to the spot where the wrecked wagon was. From it he secured a package of food and some robes. ‘These he carried to the old shed. A second trip he made, bringing back two loose sides of the yehlcle and some other pieces of its shattered timbers. ,. The snow let up in the morning. Ry that time ‘Amos had constructed a rough but long and wide exigency sled His first thought had been to convey the refuge to his own home, but she demurred. “T must get to the town,” she in- sisted urgently, “to my brother and— and to others.” It was a terrible journey. In all the slow dificult jaunt they didnot pass a single human habitation. With tears in her eyes the grateful lise regarded the strong, noble man, who made a beast of burden of himself dragging the crude sled that she might reach friends and comfort. Well did Amos look to it that his fair charge was well bundled up in the warm, thick robes. When they halted at night he found for her a safe shelter. The food lasted out They reached Bartonville. By that time he had learned to love her, and she—her heart nearly broke as she told him at the last that she had promised her brother to marry a friend of his, one John Grimston, a man she cared nothing for. She clung to Amos as he placed her safe among friends, Only his eyes not his lips, told her what her revela tion was making him suffer. Then the very day following a strange caprice of fate—John Grim ston, gambler and bravo, was shot dead in a street fight, and Elise was free. But not for long. She could never forget the brave stranger who had borne her safely through stress and storm to friends and comfort. To a new and safer home Amos Wil bur took Elise a year later—a home blessed with fervor and depth of an Saikotnaecanintial thee!

Secretary Lane believes that many thousands of Americans will travel in this country during the coming season and following years who have heretofore spent their money in Europe, and that the national parks of the West and points in Alaska, with their scenic wonders, will be the places sought out by large numbers of American tourists. The work of reorganizing the system of caring for and developing the national parks is now going on, and in the near future it is believed that most of the American parks will have facilities which will rival Europe for completeness in providing for tourists. Mark Daniels, the California landscape engineer, whom Secretary Lane secured as the general superintendent of the national parks, is now working on plans for reorganizing the system of management and bettering condi- uons generally in all of the great government reservations which sre under the department of the interior.

This courtly tradition received a violent setback, however, the last time the mace was used in response to a riot call. “Private John” Allen was on that occasion the center of the mix-up. “Don't hit me with that dam fool bird,” he said, when the mace was waved over him. Another time a sergeant-at-arms charged down upon a struggling crowd of congressmen who were trying to terminate a long-drawn-out wrangle by assault and battery. When the bearer of the mace reached the scene he stood there like a schoolboy who had broken down in the midst of a recita- tion, wondering what was to come next. “What do I do now?” he asked, in a stage whisper. “Bang the buzzard on his head,” advised a member, to whom the mace was no more than a slapstick. Ever since then the mace has been known as the “buzzard.” Uncle Sam Experimenting With Lights for War Tens a lesson from the European war, the secretary of war has directed the engineer corps to make an exhaustive study of and extensive field experiments with searchlights, flares, star bombs and other lights.

The HOME BEAUTIFUL Flowers and Shrubbery Their Care and Cultivation THE TUNNEL Showing the Effective Use of Bamboo Poles as a Support for Climbing Roses, Iris Filled in the Spaces Between the Roses Making a Beautiful Contrast. THE COTTON GROWTH When the Tops of Cannas Have Been Killed by Frost, Cut Off the Tops and Dry in Sun for Several Days—A Luxuriant Bed of Cannas, the Result of Good Care and Right Treatment. ABOUT THE PERENNIALS The perennial is essentially the busy woman's favorite class of plants. These hardy plants are propagated by cutting and division which may be done now. When dividing such plants as perennial phlox, golden glow, feverfew, daisy, peony, see that a crown, shoot or bud is allowed each new plant. Plant in rich soil that has been deeply spaded. If you have a choice perennial phlox of which you wish to increase your stock take a shoot, pinch out the terminal bud, cut off the first pair of leaves, and the second pair wholly, and stick the cutting in wet sand. Place in the window with the house plants. For the sunless window provide a few plants such as ferns, palms, ivies, tradacantes, araucarias, dragon trees and the like. By all means make a compost heap. Gather into a sheltered corner or shed, sods, weeds, refuse from the kitchen and garden, wood ashes, bones, rough manure, rotting chips, sawdust and the like. If it has to be made outside throw boards over it to avoid leaching. Stir frequently and pour soapsuds over it. Do not neglect to pot a clump or two of sweet kyssum. Cut the tops back within two or three inches of the roots; give sun and water, and you will soon be rewarded with a lot of honey-scented blooms. Do not be impatient with your geraniums if they seem lazy. As soon as they become pot bound they will flower; then they should have a weekly dose of liquid manure. Sweet peas may be planted in the fall in a well-drained spot. Plant a little deeper than in spring, and mulch. Sow three or four seeds of the large flowering mignonette in a pot, and thin to one. This plant has a long tap root, and does not take kindly to transplanting. It makes a delightful window plant. Cuttings of roses—hardy and tender—may be made now. Cut slips four to eight inches long, with a strong bud near the tip, bury it to within an inch of the top bud in a sheltered and well-drained spot, firming the soil well about it. Then turn an old glass can, tumbler or broken bottle over it. When the ground freezes bury it with straw or leaves. In the spring you will find that the cutting has rooted, and you may dispense with the glass covering. A novel and interesting addition to the window garden is a pot of growing strawberries. Select a vigorous, perfect flowering strawberry plant, and pot in fine, rich earth. See that there is ample drainage. It will bloom in a few weeks, and be followed by beautiful fruit. Keep it in the sunniest spot you have, and it will prove as ornamental as any of its brilliant neighbors. When the tops of cannas, dahlias and gladioluses have been killed by frost lift their roots, cut off the tops and dry in the sun for several days. House at night and when it rains Store in a cool, dry cellar. CARE OF COSMOS By taking a little trouble in the summer Cosmos can be kept blooming until Thanksgiving. In planting the late blooming sorte—Lady Lenox is a fine variety—put a few more plants than are needed into as small pots as they will go, or if you prefer, buy seeds and sow them in April or early May. As the plants grow, pinch out the ends of the growth when they be come two or three inches long, and repot as they need it. The Cosmos is a gross feeder and a rapid grower, requiring a rich well-drained soil composed of garden loam, horse manure and one part sand. Grow the plants out of doors in summer, keep the pots in soil or fine coal ashes. Lift the pots around occasionally, so the plants cannot root into the ground. Water abundantly Upon the approach of frosty weather, the plants must be taken indoors or in the cellar, where they cannot freeze. By picking off the fading flowers the plants will continue to bloom until Thanksgiving. PHLOX DRUMMONDI The queen of bedding plants is the Phlox Drummondi. Sow where they are to grow, in fine rich soil, and this the tall ones so that they stand about ten inches apart, and the dwarfs six inches apart. Give them rich soil plenty of water, and watch results. HAPPENINGS in the BIG CITIES Chicago Plans to Have Its Own Municipal Flag CHICAGO—Chicago is to have a municipal flag if the aldermen approve. At a city council meeting recently Alderman Kearns introduced an ordinance authorizing the appointment of a commission to select a suitable much thought to the selection of an appropriate design. Lawton Parker, artist and member of the municipal art commission, made the following suggestion: "Whatever design is selected, the flag should be a spot of color. An orange ground with a dark red design would be appropriate. The three branches of the Chicago river with a bright sunflower at the end of each might lend itself to satisfactory adaptation." The idea that the flag should properly contain some expression of the new feminist movement was expressed by Mrs. Virginia Brooks Washburne. The proponderance of sentiment seems to favor some adaptation of the Chicago seal which has become familiar through its appearance on hotel china and silverware and on the door of the city executive's private automobile. It is Aluerman Kearns' conviction that the flag, when selected, should fly from "public buildings, fire and police stations, fireboats, city vehicles and schoolhouses," and that it be carried in all "public demonstrations and parades." Carrying the flag in all parades, it is believed, will introduce complications. New Yorkers Intend to Commute by Aeroplane NEW YORK.--Commuting by aeroplane, which Harold McCormick tried witl scant success in Chicago, will be taken up by a band of New York city pioneers this summer. Young Vincent Astor is a leading spirit, while Bob Collier, J. Stuart Blackton, William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., and Devereux Milburn, the polo star, are also in on it. Payne Whitney, and perhaps another Vanderbilt or two. These men have places along the Sound, or their friends have, which is the same thing as far as the aeroplane idea goes. They figure they can spend one to three hours more of daylight. up in the Long Island and Connecticut breezes by taking a chance twice a day. Just so much more tennis, just so much more golf, just so much more times with the wife and children. Most of these men have already ordered brand new 1915 model aeroplanes or flying boats. The above names are only approximately correct. They are right to this extent—not a man among them will be missing by September if the new commuting proves satisfactory to the pioneers. The men are all members of the Aero Club of America. They have established a club landing place at Seventy-second street and the East river near the garage of the Automobile Club of America, of which the wealthy flying men are also members.

What seems to be the important point, however, is the possible spreading of the scope of the edict. Are the outsiders to believe that the Century tenants are alone in this most pleasant divertissement, or may we shortly expect that the tenantry of other great office quarters will be the subjects of official consideration? Grand Rapids Man Has a Performing Cockroach Grand Rapids Man Has a Performing Cockroach G RAND RAPIDS, MICH.-The height of efficiency in cultivating pets has been reached by Edgar S.

"How's the world today?" In return Blat (an abbreviation of "Blatidae," the scientific name of the cockroach family) will stretch its fine sheen of wings and scamper about delightedly. Then, when the clerk extends a finger it will run up on it and remain in an attitude of repose until tapped off to the desk again. When Aidridge holds a pen or pencil perpendicularly to a paper it will approach cautiously and place its head at the point. Then it will revolve itself in a circle around it many times.

THE FASHION STUDIO Inspiration in Taffeta and Chiffon MARIE MAYER One might conclude that there had just come about a general awakening to the importance of the collar, if the number of new designs brought out measures the demand for novel neckwear. Those who provide it deserve all sorts of credit, for the neck may be becoming dressed now whether it be thin or fat, long or short. There are all kinds of collars for all kinds of necks. For the thin woman the turnover collars and those with plaits at the back are an inspiration. For her, collars are made closed and high at the front, or with only a narrow opening and a deep turnover cape at the back. They are wonderfully becoming A pretty collar of embroidered batiste is shown at the left of the picture, with the turned-over cape at the back also pictured. This is one example of a very popular type, and there are great numbers of similar styles in lace, net and embroidered materials. At the right, a collar with long pointed wings at the sides is shown. It is made of batiste and net combined with a dainty pattern embroidered on both. It is high in the back. All these collars of sheer fabrics—including laces—are wired to hold them in position. Besides being very becoming and providing a pretty finishing touch to the dress, these collars save the blouse or waist from becoming soiled and discolored. They are inexpensive and easily done up, and they must be reeled on with as the most important dress Inspiration in Ta Just how much can be accomplished with chiffon and taffeta, in the hands of those artists whose inspirations are wonders of beautiful apparel, is very clearly demonstrated in the picture given here. This is an evening gown in light blue with an underpetticoat of plaited chiffon and an overdress and bodice of taffeta. A little lace in the sleeves, and roses made of the chiffon, are relied upon for its decoration, and prove all that is needed. At the front of the plaited underskirt chiffon roses fasten the plaits down and form a flounce near the bottom. The bodice is merely a wide brushed girdle of the silk, across the front, to which shapely lines are given by the management of the overskirt This is cut in one with the bodice at the back and sides. It is finished with shallow scallops at the bottom, the point of each one defined with a chiffon rose. There are soft shoulder straps of shirred chiffon, and a swathing of chiffon appears in the bodice above the accessory of the season. More and not less attention is to be given to them, and everyone wants a generous supply. Odds and Ends of Laces. Every woman possesses what she calls her treasure bag. In it she has odds and ends of laces, ribbons and various other trimmings. Now is the time to get out this bag, go over its contents, select the things suitable to one of the new stock collars and then go ahead. Half a yard of black velvet or satin ribbon with which to make a high stock and a bit of lace to add to its embellishment will turn out just as smart a creation as any woman could wish for. The high collar is softly gathered and there is a plaited jabot of cream net and lace. There is a flat tie of tan grosgrain ribbon with a bow placed at the side. Bordered Goods. Bordered goods are among the spring novelties. Unlike the bordered goods that have been in favor other seasons, the most interesting of the new goods will have the border not woven in, but of a different material. This furnishes another opportunity for embroidery, for the contrasting fabric will be joined to the other material by means of fancy stitches. Such bordered fabrics have been used by some of the designers in the new models and it is thought that they will be well accepted by the general public. ffeta and Chiffon taffeta. Wired caps of lace, with narrow binding of silk, finish the shoulders, in place of sleeves, headed by straps made of the roses set close together. The roses also define the fastening down the front. The crispness and body and luster of taffeta lend themselves so well to the season's modes that designers turn to it for day and evening gowns. There is no other weave, it seems, which embraces so many colors and combinations of color. Certainly there is no other which can be used to better advantage in making the wide skirtte which the present mode decrees. Pretty Handkerchiefs. Some remarkably pretty handker chiefs—at remarkably fine prices, it must be admitted—are called medallion handkerchiefs. They are in plain, soft blue and buff, and, in the corners, have a small round medallion appliqued with a pretty little decorative white rim. The initial is embroidered within this circle DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING COMPANY RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992. FRANK S.
