Colorado Statesman

PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Pullman Officials Tipped As Are Porters VOL. XX1. Pullman cials T As Are The statement made by Robert T. Lincoln, chairman of the board of directors of the Pullman Co., that the company has been a large element of uplift for the Negro, has attracted much attention. The reference made by Mr. Lincoln to the tipping system, which he called "an old custom," but an annoying arrangement, has called forth some interesting rejoinders. George Young, proprietor of Young's Book Exchange, 135 West 135th street, for a number of years one of the most efficient and capable men in the service of the Pullman Co., takes up the cudgels in behalf of the porter and declares that the porter is not the only beneficiary of the tipping system. On the contrary, Mr. Young declares that conductors, Pullman agents, and in some instances, even district superintendents, accept tips from Pullman patrons. Race prejudice is given as a reason why many Negro men seek service with the company, which requires the applicants to be possessed of a good education. "Almost any ordinary porter could pass the civil service examination," says Mr. Young, "but the Pullman Company's policy seems to be promotion for white men only." Referring to Mr. Lincoln's statement that tips are usually given for services not connected with the Pullman Co., the latter shows that the company rules prohibit solicitation of compensation for services rendered, but that a failure to comply with a passenger's wishes is always taken up by the Pullman Co., and not always to the porter's good. Mr. Young's letter is as follows: To the Editor of The Age: We read with interest the report of the Industrial Commission regarding the Pullman Company and the Pullman porters. There is no secret as to the length of the time colored men have been employed on sleeping cars. They have been faithful to the public and to the company for half a century, but have long registered a peaceful protest as to the treatment accorded by the company. ```markdown ``` As has been stated, tipping came with the sleeping car; it is an old custom. Many changes have tsken place since that time. Originally the porter was the "full supply" of all things. The dining car, the buffet car, ice cream and cake, all were supplied by the porter. The proceeds of these sales went to make up his wages. But with progress these things were reduced to a system and made a source of wealth for the railroad and sleeping car companies. The old time porter only needed to know how to make a bed or run for a newspaper, but now no man's application is considered unless he has had a fair education. Almost any ordinary porter could pass the civil service examination. PROMOTION FOR WHITE MEN ONLY Because of prejudice many a man qualified for better work is forced to this calling, waiting and praying that the moral conscience of this great company would be aroused and service rewarded. We mean service, not color, but the Pullman company's policy seems to be "promotion for white men only." Mr. Lincoln claims that the system has always been a source of annoyance to him. Why didn't he offer a remedy? Why wait for the law? Can there be any just law prohibiting the porter from accepting tips, and allowing other employees, Pullman conductors, agents, and sometimes district superintendent, to accept tips from Pullman patrons? All of these receive a living salary from the company. "Tipping" is not confined to the colored race, as applied by Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Lincoln stated that the porter received tips for service not included or connected with the Pullman Co. Then why not allow the laborer to enjoy his "fruits"? Why capitalize the generosity of the public to the porter for the benefit of a rich corporation? COMPANY RULES AND PASSENGERS' WISHES The book of rules says regarding porter's service: Shoes shined should be taken from one section only at a time, cleaned, polished and returned," etc. "The porter must furnish his own shoe polish, equipment," etc. The book of rules also says: "Employees are prohibited from soliciting any compensation from passengers for service rendered." Ordinarily, the passenger feels when he has bought a ticket for a Pullman car, that it entitles him to have his shoes polished, clothes brushed or any other favor he wishes. Any neglect of the porter to comply with these State Hist & Nat Hist Office State House GIANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. MAY 22. 1915 wishes will be taken up by the Pullman Co., not always to the good of the porter. Mr. Lincoln speaks of his regard for the Negro race as represented by the Pullman porter. He claims the next greatest advantages have been in the professions. Yes, and many now high in professional life climed up by the way of the Pullman Co. "Climbed," did I say? That term may be all right since the learned counsel has referred to him as the "coon" and climbing is the mode of locomotion of that animal. But after all the porter belongs to a great race, a serving race, a race not ashamed of service, but like other human beings he enjoys being appreciated. The Negro race is cheerful and delighted in service, thinking it noble to serve whether it be bearing the Cross of the Master or carrying a grip at Grand Central Station, N. Y., or a "Satchel toter" in Georgia. We hope the spirit of appreciation will be awakened by the Industrial Commission in the Pullman Company. GEO. YOUNG. New York Age. Little Rock, Ark, May 11.—W. R. Fisher, Ashley Ward and Andrew Holmes, white each about twenty-five years old, to-day were sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Angus Neeley, an aged Negro, near Wrightsville, December 15, 1914. The evidence was entirely circumstantial and robbery was given as the motive. These sentences, court officials say mark an epoch in Arkansas criminal jurisprudence. DR. W. H. SHARPLEY. The man whom the public placed much confidence in and showed how much he is considered by them in their electing him as commissioner of social welfare.

Experienced as he is in civic matters we are sure if his colleagues work in harmony with him W. H. H. Denver will boast of a municipal administration that will leave a pleasurable impression among this and future generations. The people of Denver having endeared themselves to him through his genial disposition and willingness to help at all times and under all circumstances will have no cause to regret their action in electing him to the position of commissioner of property, as not only is he easily approached but takes time to deliberate on matters pertaining to the betterment of conditions as well as evincing keen interest in everything pertaining to the welfare of the citizens. Our wish for a very successful career for this worthy resident of our city in his new position is the best and most we can offer. sitions of health commissioner and police surgeon, and there is every reason to believe that he will continue to work for the good of others, for the benefit of the community and the progress of the city in the position that he is given by the people who have shown by their action on Tuesday last that he is the right man in the right place. A successful term of office is our wish. RACE NEWS Chester, Pa. May 12—The Southern Pennsylvania Traction Co. will have to pay the award of $2,500, won by Rachel J.

Baldwin and his brother, W. P. Baldwin' put on aprons and acted as waiters. After the ex-slaves were ushered into the dining room and seated at the table, W. P. Baldwin offered a prayer of thanksgiving. The old folks made speeches, one of the oldest women giving a strong temperance talk. After the dinner was over one of the men expressed the sentiments of all when he said: "Ef I allers felt as good as I do now I'd nebber want ter go ter hebben." The dinner was prepared by the best cook Mr Baldwin could find in South Georgia. Ithaca, N. Y., May 12.—Negro students at Cornell University are very much wrought up over the treatment accorded Harry C. Arrington, of the Jamaica, Long Island, high school, who visited Cornell as a member of the track team from Jamaica school entered in the Cornell Athletic Association track meet held on May 1. Arrington was entered in the 100-yard dash, but in some mysterious way, but evidently through connivance between the two white boys, his fellow members on the Jamaica team, and the members of the Psi NO 40 Sigma Kappa, at whose fraternity house the Long Island boys were billeted as guests, he failed to secure his track number, or satisfaction concerning it, and thus was prevented from running in the event for which he was entered. In a letter to the Cleveland (O.) Plain Dealer, which appeared in its issue of Tuesday, April 27, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, writes as follows: "In the issue of your paper of Tuesday, April 20, 1915, an Oil City, (Pa.) reader of the same made inquiry as to "What presidential places have been taken from the colored race under the Wilson administration? Will you please permit me to add the following to the information given your Oil City reader: "Every presidential appointment in the United States diplomatic serqice abroad, except the ministership to Liberia, Africa; every presidential appointment in the federal service, at home and abroad, except the minor and local one, a judge of the municipal court of the District of Columbia, held by Negroes, and scores of minor positions in the federal service, held by representatives of this same class of Americans, have been taken from them under the Wilson administration. "In many other cases minor positions, covered by civil service, they have been reduced. This course was successfully pursued in the cases of many others to force their resignations. "In all hundreds of Afro-American office-holders have lost positions in the federal service in the last two years under President Wilson's administration. Only the two presidential places, named are retained, and they are the only two Afro-American presidential appointments made by the present national administration." A HIGH COMPLIMENT Wm. A. Potter colored caterer of Philadelphia, Penn., was paid quite a compliment when he was accorded the privilege to cater to the Biddle Duke wedding on April 29th. in preference of all the leading white catering establishments in that city. The marriage taking place among two of the wealthiest families of the country and over two thousand invitations being issued one can imagine the task set the caterer to feed this throng to their satisfaction. However experience and skill, qualities possessed by Mr. Potter through training by his father made him equal to the occasion.

DR. BEERS SENTENGED GIVEN LONG TERM FOR KILLING WILL HOPKINS. Physician Weeps in Court, Telling Story of Killing, and Says He Still Has Hope. Western Newspaper Union News Service. /Boulder, Colo.-Dr. A, S. Beers of Hygiene, convicted of murder in the second degree for the killing of Will Hopkins, a neighbor, at Burch lake two days before Christmas, was sentenced by District Judge R. G. Strong to serve from twelve to fifteen years in the penitentiary at hard labor. Before the sentence was pronounced Dr. Beers addressed the court for several minutes, weeping freely as he talked. He said that the only person toward whom he had any hard feelings was John Carter of Hygiene. "Carter," said Beers, "testified that Hopkins was unarmed, when he knew that he was holding an ice marker above his head ready to strike me down." Dr. Beers declared that he was not without hope for the future, and that he was looking forward to a time when he would be happier. He spoke of his wife, because of whose relations with Hopkins he slew the latter, and said that for fifteen years he had tried to keep her from temptation, but had failed. Dr. Beers told the court that he was a victim of circumstance, and that he felt sure that if he had killed his wife when she confessed her shame to him, and had then rushed to Hygiene and shot Hopkins, he would be a free man today. Dr. Beers was convicted of murder in the second degree March 15, after one of the most sensational trials ever held in Boulder county. During the trial his wife went on the stand and testified that a confession on her part of her relations with Hopkins, while she was at a local sanitarium about to undergo an operation, had prompted Dr. Beers to kill Hopkins.

We Make Old Hats New AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS How to help colored children in the public schools toward a more hopeful future than present social conditions promise them, was discussed by educators, welfare workers, and city officials at a conference held April 29 at 130 East Twenty-second street, by the Public Education association. The association recently issued a report on "Colored School Children in New York," prepared by Miss Frances Blascoer, which, made after a careful investigation, outlines the needs of the 90,000 Negroes in the city, and gives specific recommendations for improving the conditions under which they live. This report was the basis of discussion at the conference. Miss Eleanor Hope Johnson, chairman of the committee on hygiene of school children of the association, says in the introduction to the report: "We are constantly learning, through the interpretation by sympathetic students of various races of immigrants, the several ways in which these allens may contribute to our national life; and each discovery, especially in the different fields of art, is halted with joy by constructive patriots. Surely it is time for the Negro to be considered in the light of a national asset, and his loyalty, patience, sympathetic kindness, and artistic instinct be counted on as real contributions to our national welfare. "The report gives few, perhaps no, recommendations that would not apply to the children of other races. Where the application is more true in regard to colored children it seems to be largely because of this lack of equal justice in the cases of their parents. Race weakness appears, but this could easily be balanced by the same or similar weakness in other races. Given an education carefully adapted to his needs and a fair chance for employment, the normal child of any race will succeed, unless the burden of wrong home conditions lies too heavily upon him. Any philanthropic effort for the encouragement or improvement of these children, to be successful, must take into account their peculiar virtues—affection, loyalty, home-loving spirit—not their defects. It is this conclusion of the report which applies to colored children more than to the children of any other race, and should make them easier rather than harder to help in their climb upwards. Our country has a very real debt to pay, and it can be paid only by helping these children to find for themselves the place in our nation which shall contribute most to their own and its development.—New York Evening Post. Among the Negroes of the country there has, in late years, developed an increasing tendency toward home ownership, a marked increase in the percentage of school attendance, a pronounced decrease in the percentage of illiteracy, decrease in the mortality rate, and an increase in the proportion of church membership. From 1720, when the Negro population was numbered 757,208, it increased to 9,827,763 in 1910, when the last census was taken. Since 1810 there has been a continuous decrease in the proportion which Negroes have formed of the total population, due, at least in part, to the fact that the white population has been continually augmented by immigration, while there has been very little immigration of Negroes during the past hundred years. The largest Negro population in any state in 1910 was that of Georgia. Why is the death rate among Negroes, in northern cities and southern cities alike, almost twice as great as among whites? At the last census the average death rate in the 57 registration cities was 15.9 per thousand among whites, while among Negroes it was 27.8. In the North the ratio was roughly 15 to 25, in the South 16 to 29. Taking those degeneracies that have a nervous origin or that come from high living, the ratio among whites was greater, but in tuberculosis and pneumonia, the plague of both races, the havoc among Negroes preponderates enormously. What are the reasons for this hideous disparity? The reason, as everyone may guess, is the poverty of the Negro. The death rate stands in almost fixed relation to housing conditions, and it is clearly proved that as home ownership increases, the death rate diminishes. In the degree that Negroes remain economically inferior, their portion will not merely be social hardship but a vastly greater share of physical suffering and mortal disease. It is these hard facts that make race prejudice so base. The only prejudice that figures The last siege of Vienna was made by the Austrians themselves. This was in 1848, when, during the Hungarian revolution, Vienna fell into the hands of the insurgents, who were dislodged only after two days' bombardment. Kukui nut oil is a valuable Hawaiian product and is in demand in the paint and varnish trade. It has been shipped to the United States from various pacific islands for the last 75 years. 1,176,987. In that year Mississippi and South Carolina had a Negro population exceeding that of the white, and in each of fifty-three counties, scattered throughout the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas, Florida and Tennessee, at least seventy-five per cent of the total population was Negro. Of the southern states West Virginia had the smallest percentage, 5.3. In the period of 1900-1910 the greatest gain, both numerically and proportionally, in this class of population was shown by Birmingham, Ala., whose Negro residents increased to the number of 35,730, or to the surprising per cent of 215. The country as a whole indicated that illiteracy among this class is gradually being reduced, it being shown that between the ages of six and twenty slightly over forty-seven per cent were attending school, a large gain over previous reports. Virginia had by far the largest percentage of Negro-owned homes, while Mississippi ranked first in farms. Deaths caused by malaria, tuberculosis of the lungs, other forms of tuberculosis, pneumonia and whooping cough are relatively more numerous among Negroes than among whites; while the mortality due to measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, cancer, appendicitis, diarrhea and violence (including suicide) is noticeably higher among whites. Editor of the Washington Herald: In the Herald of April 20 appears a notice to the effect that the body of Lieut. Beverly Perea, U. S. A., brought from Cambridge, Mass., was the first colored officer to be buried in the Arlington National cemetery. This statement is not correct, as the bodies of both Dr. Alexander T. Augusta, surgeon, Seventh U. S. C. infantry, surgeon in chief of Freeman's hospital, and for many years a practicing physician in this city, and Capt. O. S. B. Wall of this city have been buried in the Arlington National cemetery, for many years, both being buried in the officers' section, with monuments standing over their graves; the former officer's grave is close to the gate and the latter not far removed therefrom. In addition to these two officers of whose burial I have personal knowledge (and there may be others of whom I have no knowledge) there are hundreds of colored soldiers buried in Arlington. The records at Arlington will confirm the facts as stated. Believing that it is the purpose of your paper to publish only facts, I am calling your attention to this matter that it may be corrected.—Hamilton S. Smith. In compliance with his dying wish, Lieut. Beverly Perea, U. S. A., retired, who died in Cambridge, Mass., recently, was buried in Arlington national cemetery—the first colored man to be buried there. His wife and daughter accompanied the body to Washington. Several of his friends in the city attended the burial. That he might be buried in the national cemetery at Arlington was the wish expressed by Lieutenant Perea shortly before his death. His widow communicated this to Secretary Garrison of the war department through Major Curley, with the result that permission was given.

President Wilson, through Secretary Garrison, has officially complimented the officers and enlisted men of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry (colored) for their work in patrolling the Mexican border line to enforce the neutrality laws of the United States during the fighting between the Carranza and Villa forces. Several American soldiers were wounded during the engagements between the Mexican forces. "By direction of the president," says Secretary Garrison, "I take great pleasure in expressing to the officers and enlisted men of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry his appreciation of their splendid conduct and efficient service in the enforcement of the United States neutrality 'laws at Naco, Ariz., during November, December and January last."

ROUT RUSSIANS FROM GALICIA BATTLE RAGES FROM CARPATHIANS TO POLAND, AND FALL OF PRZEMYSL THREATENED. 7,000 SLAVS CAPTURED CHIEF OF ITALIAN STAFF AT FRONTIER; RAILROADS SEIZED AS PARLIAMENT MEETS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, May 20.—General von Mackenzen's big drive of the whole Russian line to the east in Galicia continues with remarkable rapidity with a prospect of almost entirely freeing Austrian territory of the Slav invaders. Emperor William is reported to be on the eastern front. Fighting is proceeding continuously along a 200-mile battlefront in Galicia from the mouth of the San river to Kolomea. The Russians are sending in troops as rapidly as possible to meet the ten German and twenty-four Austrian corps, about 1,360,000 men, said to be operating on this front. Operations along the San may be considered as in three sections; the first from Przemysl south to the Carpathian foothills; the second from Przemysl north to the mouth of the Wisloka; the third from the Wisloka to Sandomir, in Russian Poland, fifty-seven miles southeast of Radom. The first section of the German advance has not developed beyond the stage of patrols and scouting parties. In the second section there are large opposing forces which are prevented from engaging in hand-to-hand encounters by the wide sweep of the San, over which artillery duels are occurring. The heaviest German forces evidently have been concentrated in the third section in an attempt to reach the right bank of the San, which they have crossed in places. The Russians attempted by counter-attacks to check the German troops which pressed forward across the San but all these attacks failed with heavy losses to the Russians. A division composed of Hanoverian and Oldenburg troops have, during the past two days, made 7,000 prisoners, in the fighting at the crossing of the San. Rome, May 20.—Lieutenant General Count Cadorna, Italian Chief of Staff, has arrived with his staff at Vicenza, near the Austrian border. The Italian Parliament will meet today and is expected to authorize a declaration of war against Austria. Mobilization of troops is continuing rapidly in upper Italy. Many trains are leaving Milan carrying soldiers in the direction of the frontier posts. A royal decree under which all railroad lines and stations in Italy are placed under the supervision of the military authorities is published by the Official Gazette. London, May 20.—The formation of a non-partisan Cabinet for the period of the war is an established fact. The spokesmen for the two great rival parties, Premier Asquith and Andrew Bonar Law, made statements to the House of Commons confirming the reports of a coalition ministry, which several newspapers had launched. Portugal's Cabinet Will Be Neutral. Lisbon.—The newly formed Portuguese cabinet has decided, it was announced, to maintain an absolutely neutral attitude toward all political parties. "UNLOCKING THE WEST." Seattle, Wash.-The conference of western governors convened hers early so the program could be disposed of at one session, the afternoon having been reserved for a visit to the Puget Sound navy yard. The governors continued their discussion of water power development under federal control. The principal paper was read by Governor Carlson of Colorado on the topic "Unlocking the West." Governor Carlson's paper urged less national interference in the development of the resources of the western states and advocated state rather than national control of development projects.

Jury to Decide But Two Points: Syracuse, N. Y.—After denying motion of counsel for William Barnes to direct a verdict in the $50,000 libel suit against ex-President Roosevelt for the plaintiff, Wednesday, Justice Andrews outlined the points upon which the jury will pass. They are: Did Barnes work through an alliance of crooked politics and crooked business? Was there a corrupt alliance between Barnes and Charles F. Murphy, the leader of Tammany hall, during the United States senatorial contest in 1911? GOVERNOR CARLSON AMONG THE ACTIVE WORKERS. Wields Pick and Shovel to Show How Real Highway Improvement Can Be Attained. Denver.—Colorado observed Good Roads day and as a result hundreds of highways over the whole state are in better condition. In the aggregate many thousands of dollars in labor was contributed by citizens in a general effort to better the many roads on mountain and plain. Governor Carlson was one of the first to volunteer for personal service, and he made good his promise. In company with State Highway Commissioner Ehrhart and John F. Kuykendall of the highway advisory board, the state's chief executive went to Bergen park in the mountains west of Denver. Arriving there, Governor Carlson peeled off his coat and vest, threw his collar and tie into the discard, and, selecting a pick with a long handle, proceeded to show how roads should be kept in order. When the pick no longed proved useful in his labor the governor went at the accumulated dirt pile with a big shovel and showed aptitude in handling that great constructive weapon. Telegrams sent out by the state highway commission brought many responses from different communities, all stating much work had been accomplished by the day. The municipal highway officers started many street improvements and contributed their full quota to the work done, and the Colorado Good Roads Association was busy early and late. The members seem well pleased at the reports of work that came from many sections. Utilities Board Cuts Coal Rates. Denver.—The most drastic freight rate reductions ever made in Colorado were announced by the public utilities commission regarding tariffs on coal from practically every district in the state to points east of Denver, Pueblo and Colorado Springs. In some cases the reductions amount to as much as 90 cents a ton from existing rates. In making its ruling, the commission established a new principle for this state by wiping out the time-worn blanket rates that have prevailed for many years and placing all the communities served on a mileage basis, so that those nearest to the point of production will be able to take advantage of their propinquity. Market Experts to Visit Denver. Denver.—The federal government will assist actively in a campaign to further upbuild the livestock industry in Colorado through improvements in livestock marketing. A letter was received by Governor Carlson from Clarence J. Brand, chief of the markets and rural organization bureau of the government, announcing that Louis D. Hall and F. M. Simpson, specialists in marketing livestock, and Clarence W. Moomaw of the bureau will arrive in Denver May 31. They will meet with state officials and representatives of Colorado livestock interest to formulate a plan for improved market conditions in Denver and other points in the state. Alleged Graft Will Be Probed. Denver.—An investigation into the charges of alleged graft in connection with the management of the county jail, as related by Ben Underhill, exconvict, who has submitted affidavits, will be started soon, according to John H. Gabriel, treasurer of the Colorado Prison Association. Some Damage to Small Fruits. Denver.—F. H. Brandenburg, district forecaster, reports some damage to small fruit on the Western slope and southern Colorado counties by reason of the recent unseasonably cold weather. Small grains, alfalfa and pastures are reported in good condition. Road Through Colorado Playground. Denver.—Arrangements have been completed by state officials for construction work on the Fall river road which will traverse the Rocky Mountain National park and will connect Estes park with Grand lake. Active labor will be begun as soon as contracts can be let. Annual Meeting of State Assessors. Denver.—In signing the long appropriation bill, Governor Carlson approved an appropriation for the annual meeting of state assessors. The gathering will probably soon be called for discussion of subjects relative to the enforcement of the state revenue laws. Mrs. Bradford to Suffrage Meeting. Denver.-Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, state superintendent of public instruction, will be a delegate to the national board meeting of the National Woman Suffrage Association, which will be held in Chicago, June 6 to 9. Carlson Attends Conference. Denver. Governor Carlson left the city to attend the conference of western Governors at Seattle. He will be gone about ten days.

C. Greenlee was chosen to succeed Otto F. Thum as Commissioner of Property, Dr. William H. Sharpley to succeed Dr. J. M. Perkins as Commissioner of Social Welfare, and Henry B. Teller as Elections Commissioner, along with Bert Martin and Samuel Crawford who comprise the Elections Commission under the amendment creating an independent department. The men elected for the above positions have clearly proven that they have the confidence and respect of the people of Denver, and therefore it rests with them in their respective public positions to keep that confidence intact by working harmoniously for the good of humanity and the welfare of our city. These men have filled public positions from time to time and therefore are in a greater or lesser degree cognizant of the duties and responsibilities attached to public offices. We can therefore look forward to a peaceful administration, every act of which will be permeated with sound, judicious and wise deliberation, working as a UNIT for progress and improvement of the city and county of Denver which will have its reflection in all round betterment in the state. The Colorado Statesman being personally acquainted with the majority of these newly-elected officials for many years, can only hope that the same integrity that guided them in their private business life and made them successful will be their GUIDING STAR in their public life, which must result in a municipality built on the foundation of a rock that can stand the storms, making it possible for grander and better superstructures. HOPE FOR US AT LAST. The Colorado Statesman early thirty years and kept scribers and advertisers) in mind to realize that at last its prayers, supplications and contention through the c Fellow countrymen! The Colorado Statesman, a humble weekly news journal struggling for nearly thirty years and keeping its head above the water (thanks to its subscribers and advertisers) is more than proud to inform you that it is beginning to realize that at last the WONDER-WORKING POWER has answered its prayers, supplications and solicitations by the continuous agitation and contention through the columns of this paper for "A COMMON SHARE IN COMMON HUMAN JOY." The realization comes to us through the speech of President Woodrow Wilson, chief executive of the nation, when he addressed an audience of 15,000 at Convention Hall, Philadelphia, on Monday, May 10, responding to an invitation of Mayor Blankenburg to address 4,000 naturalized Americans. The following extracts from the speech (which we regret on account of space we cannot give in full) must fill every Negro's heart with pride and hope when he questions himself whether this terrible embroglio in Europe today among all races is a blessing in disguise, and whether the hand of our heavy taskmaster RACE HATRED is soon to be dismembered and oblivionized, for the benefit of this element of humanity who is made to feel in this country that he is as a whole below the required standard of his so-called superior brother. Says the President: "There is but one longing and utterance of the human heart, and that is for LIBERTY and JUSTICE. You cannot dedicate yourself to America unless you become in every respect and with every purpose of your will thorough Americans. You cannot become thorough Americans if you think of yourselves in groups. My urgent advice to you would be not only always to think first of America but always also to think first of humanity. You do not love humanity if you seek to divide humanity into jealous camps. Humanity can be welded together only by love, by sympathy, by justice, not by jealousy and hatred. I am sorry for the man who seeks to make personal capital out of the passions of his fellow-man. It was but an historical accident, no doubt, that this great country was called 'The United States,' and yet I am very thankful that it has the word 'United' in its title. The man who seeks to divide, man from man, group from group interest from interest in the United States is striking at its very heart America was created to unite mankind by those passions which lift and not by the passions which separate and debase." The foregoing utterance cannot but impress the Negro population of this country, when we realize what constitutes REAL AND TRUE AMERICANISM. Having fought, bled and died for our liberty, a fact which may not be generally known by our white brother, and having contributed to the peace and order of good government, participating in everything for its financial upkeep, surely this looks like "the dawn of an awakening" when even though we are being governed by a Democratic President, he emphatically informs Americans that they have a higher, nobler and mightier purpose to serve, which means unanimity of action with the people of the United States. If we believe therefore in the sincerity of President Wilson in his address to these 4,000 of alien birth, let us take courage and with a new heart anxiously await a demonstration of the one and only American spirit which, as our President puts it, "will not seek to divide interest and interest, group and group, etc." Starting with the head of the nation giving such advices to a people, let us hope that all that has been done by Americans to set up standards of ill among Americans relative to color, class and creed will vanish into thin air, passing away as the dew before the rising sun. tice so exasperating. While a half cent or less is too small for the individual to make a fuss over, the number of them filched from thousands of women amounts to a large sum in the course of a year, thus adding materially to the profits of the merchants. The number of times that the person is called upon to suffer from this insignificant cheating also makes the sum taken count to them in the long run. Certain stores carrying a cheaper grade of merchandise make it a practice to price goods in fractions of a cent; thus $21\frac{1}{2}$, $121\frac{1}{2}$, $63\frac{1}{4}$ and the like are favorite combinations in some stores. One would suppose that two articles purchased at the same counter at the same time and put upon one check would amount to five cents, when each was marked $21\frac{1}{2}$ cents, but by some peculiar method of figuring twice $21\frac{1}{2}$ comes to six cents, in some of these stores. A favorite trick is to mark popular articles $12\frac{1}{2}$ cents and refuse to sell more than one to a customer. Even when the buyer is willing to pay 13 cents for the article, it is annoying to be compelled to pay more than the advertised price, though it be but the half-cent. There is a strong love of justice in many persons, and even while quite willing to pay out considerable sums for charity, or for desired merchandise, they seriously object to being deliberately cheated. This matter will be brought to the attention of club women and a movement started either to have half-cents coined to meet this kind of business or else to stop purchasing at stores that mark prices in fractions of a cent. This kind of grafting bears most unpleasantly upon the poorer class of buyers, for whom every cent counts in the necessities of their families. enough property to take care of his wife and child before he had either. Man must have been placed on a pedestal by some girls. If there was such a thing as the love they speak of those women wouldn't be down in Springfield striving for woman's rights. On account of injustice in laws women are made selfish, but it is the man who is generally selfish. Most true women marry for love, only to find that the sentiment is entirely on their side. Will this love continue when they find out they have married a drunkard, loafer or libertine, or perhaps a man who does out a dollar grudgingly while he spends many over a bar? Most women marry with ideals in regard to a home and all that makes a home, only to find out that the man they married had selfish ideals. Love will follow respect, but respect must follow justice. The comforts that money can buy will be a balm to most women for man's shortcomings. My advice to young girls is to look into the practical side first and then find their ideal if he can be found. me that hell is a place where the wicked are punished. But war is nothing like that. When I look over at the European war I find it is a place where the innocent are being punished, where the innocent suffer the most—innocent women and innocent children, looking for the return of fathers and brothers and husbands who will never come back, innocent soldiers who had nothing to do with the cause of the war, who are fighting for "the grand old flag." Don't blame the soldiers. They are not to blame for the war. They would be to blame if they didn't fight for their flag and their native land. But the people to blame are the people who don't suffer—the diplomats, the rulers, the counselors, who were not on their jobs well enough, who did not have the welfare of the people at heart sufficiently to keep peace between the nations. find it possible to live well without paying any of their just and everyday debts. They also have enjoyment from new pianos, washing machines and so on by purchasing them on the installment plan. They damage these articles as much as possible before they are surrendered on account of delinquency in payments. This loss honest people must make up for by having to pay exorbitant prices. Upon investigation it will be found that this class is usually the poor leisure class—the lazy. We need more rigid regulation of this class of people. There is little doubt that many reputations for sound credit have been injured by such loose talk. Under our court system it is as easy and as cheap to sue a man for $1,000,000 as for $1, if the suit is brought in the circuit or superior court. This is wrong. Reputable concerns should not be subjected to suits for absurd amounts. The remedy is easy enough. All that is necessary is to set a maximum limit for which suit may be filed for the usual fee, and then charge an additional fee of $1 or $2 per thousand for each additional thousand asked. This would stop irresponsibles from asking ridiculous damages. Club Women Aroused Over Petty Grafting By LILLIAN SWINEY. St. Louis, Mo price so exasperating.

Author of "The Journal of a Neglected Wife," "The Woman Alone," etc. Helen Is Awed by Their English Valet, but Warren Refuses to Be Impressed "Where do you want this, ma'am?" the porter lowered the trunk from his shoulder. "Right here behind the door," Helen shoved a chair out of the way. "That small one you can put there by the dresser." While he unstrapped the trunks, Helen got out her purse. Would a sixpence tip be enough? But at the last moment his brass buttons and gilt braid made her fumble hurriedly for a shilling. When the door closed after him, she began an eager, delighted inspection of the rooms. They were the "bachelor chambers" of an army officer now in the war. "Bedroom, living room and bath; valet and catering," the advertisement had read. As they were to be in London several weeks longer, Helen had rebelled at the hotel room without bath, for which they were paying an exorbitant price. This place she had found through sheer luck—and the London Times. The furnishings were ideal. There was an air of distinction about the low bookcases, the carved sideboard and the walls hung with deer heads and foreign trophies. To Helen it looked like the stage setting of a bachelor's room in a Pinero play, the scene where the indiscreet young wife is discovered by her husband. There was even a screen for the lady to hide behind. "Shall I unpack Mr. Curtis' things now, ma'am?" With a start Helen turned to find Leopard, the valet, beside her. "I beg your pardon, ma'am, but if you'll give me the key to Mr. Curtis' trunk—" Helen thought fast. Her knowledge of a valet's duties was vague, gathered mainly from what she had seen on the stage. She did not want this man to unpack Warren's trunk, but she was too much awed by him to say so. Nervously she watched him take out the things and arrange them in the closet and chiffonier. On account of the war they had brought few clothes, and she was uncomfortably conscious that Warren's wardrobe must appear very meager to this smart English servant. She tried to seem absorbed in her own unpacking, as with elaborate care he refolded a pair of worn, faded pajamas that she had thought Warren could wear once more before she threw them away. Warren's soiled linen he had already carried off, while she looked on helpless. Now he threw a suit over his arm and started off again. "Is there anything of yours you'd like brushed, ma'am?" "No, I think not," relieved to have him go. But with soft-footed stealth he kept reappearing. He brought back Warren's suit, then took away his shoes. Then he came in to look after the open fire. He did not knock, and Helen found herself looking nervously over her shoulder to see if he was there. Disconcerting as was his presence, it gave her a delightful feeling of affluence. Helen's idea of luxury had always been the luxury of the English novel and play. And now that she was in something of that atmosphere, she tried to "live up" to it. Instead of unpacking in her cottoncrepe kimono, she slipped on a silk negligee. And when at four o'clock the valet brought her tea, she leaned back in one of the luxurious leather chairs while he served it before the fire. It was after six when Warren came. She greeted him joyously. "Hello, all settled?" as he hung up his overcoat. "Oh, yes, dear, isn't it wonderful? I could hardly wait till you came. I'm wild about these rooms!" "Looks like we're going to be pretty comfortable here." "And just think—it'll not cost any more than the hotel." "Not as much—not so many tips. How about that valet? He showed up yet?" "Dear, he's been here every minute! He doesn't knock, and he walks so softly, you can't hear him." "Don't like him gum-shoeing around, eh?" "Oh' yes—yes," hastily, "if I could only know when he's coming." "Might mine the entrance hall," grinned Warren. "Hello, where'd this come from? Been having a high-ball?" as he took up a half-filled syphon from the sideboard. "Oh, I found that down here." Helen opeued the cupboard underneath. "The valet must have overlooked it. And these, too," taking out a box of cigarettes. "Look they're crested and initialed." "Huh, don't think much of a man who has his cigarettes initialized. One of those monocled, white-spatted Johnnes." "But, dear, he does have good things. Did you notice this sideboard? And this rug," turning one up with her foot, "it's an antique Bokhara. You wouldn't think he'd rent these rooms." "Guess he needs the coin," shrugged Warren. "Well, the valet ought to put some of these best things away." "Don't you worry; that agent was mighty keen about our reference. They're not taking anybody in here without knowing who they are." "I love this lamp shade—doesn't it give a soft light? Look how it's made—just strips of Japanese embroidery. Some girl made that for him." Then musingly, "That's just what I'll get for our library." But Warren was busy exploring the sideboard. From a lower drawer he produced a corkscrew, a shriveled lemon, some cloves and a broken spangled fan. "Huh, a gay old codger! That valet overlooked a lot of things." Helen was examining the fan. It still held a faint fragrance. "Can't you picture an after-theater supper here—and she forgot her fan? Maybe that's she," glancing at a photograph in a silver frame. "Maybe it isn't," scoffed Warren. "That imagination of yours'll get you into trouble yet." Then as he stepped into the bedroom, "Say, how about this bed? Looks mighty narrow to me." "Why, dear, we've often slept in three-quarter bed." "Well, if we're going to stay here, I want a good wide bed. I'll speak to that agent tomorrow." things. They couldn't change the bed. "Well, if they've rented these rooms to two people, they've got to put in a bed two people can sleep on. See here, this ought to be locked." He had opened the door of a narrow closet crowded with boxes, papers and letter files. "We're not going to be responsible for all this truck. Where's that valet? How do you get him, anyway?" "I don't know; he's been here all day. Wait. I'll try this bell. Just think, dear, when we get back we can say we've had a valet over here!" "Not on your life?" scowled Warren, who loathed any form of pretense. "Any blowing about this valet business—we'll can right now!" Helen flushed. "Well, Mrs. Stevens is always talking about the way they travel, and the wonderful rooms they have. I'd like her to know—" "Mrs. Stevens can blow all she wants to. But don't let me hear you—" "Did you ring, sir?" Leopard stood in the door. "Yes, you'd better lock up this closet. We can't be responsible for all these things." "Yes, sir, the key's been mislaid, but I'll have one fitted, sir." "Well, see to it tomorrow." "Yes, sir; thank you, sir. What time shall I draw your bath, sir?" "That's all right; I'll draw my own bath. You can serve our breakfast at eight-thirty sharp. And order me the Times. That's all." "Thank you sir." At the door he hesitated. "I—I don't find any boot trees in your trunk, sir. Perhaps you left them at the hotel, sir." Breathlessly Helen waited for Warren's answer. It came crisp and curt. "Never had a pair of boot-trees in my life." "I—I beg your pardon, sir," and Leopard departed precipitately. "Oh, what made you say that?" gasped Helen. "What'd you want me to say—that 'my man in New York left them out?'" mockingly. "Of course not, but he needn't know—" "Know what? That I'm not aping any of these bounders over here? Jove, you love pretense! Fairly wallow in it—don't you? Want everybody to think we a pile of money, eh?" "Warren, I don't." Helen flushed painfully. "You know I don't!" "Huh, I know you make things out a whole lot different from what they are. Both times we've been over here it's been on business—and on the cheap, too. You're a darn sight more careful of the coin than I am. Yet to hear you talk, anybody'd think we came abroad every year for our health, and spent money like water." "That isn't true." Indignantly. "You can't tell me one thing I ever said—" "I can't, eh? How about that hot air you always get off about buying your clothes 'abroad?' And we never have anybody to dinner that you don't manage to ring in something about getting our china in England. And all you ever bought over here was six teacups!" "But, Warren—" began Helen feebly, the color flaming her face. "I've stood for that, but I'll be hanged if I'll stand for any talk about 'our valet.' The first time you put on that company air of yours and spiel off something about 'the valet Mr. Curtis had in London'—well, there'll be trouble. Now just remember that!" May Have Been It. "Papa, why did Diogenes seek an honest man?" "I dunno," replied papa, who had recently indorsed a note for a friend, "unless it was to sell him a gold brick."

Portland, Ore.—The strongest peace resolutions ever offered in any large non-political convention will be introduced, it was predicted, at the convention of the National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associations. Mrs. Fred Dick of Denver is chairman of the resolutions committee, and is expected to make the report. "Trial marriages" and polygamy were decried in the report on "marriage sanctity," sent to the convention by Mrs. Clarence E. Allen of Salt Lake City, Utah. Monogamy, the report said, was the only right principle and practice. "Woman and Peace" was discussed by President W. T. Foster of Reed College, an Oregon institution. Dr. Foster urged upon women generally and mothers particularly, the importance of pushing the world peace movement. He urged that all Americans guard their utterances in the present crisis with and among European nations. British Laud Wilson for Demands. London.—"President Wilson," says the Daily Chronicle, "has at last spoken out. His note to the German government is studiously courteous, but is very firm in substance. There is one paragraph which will jar on British' feeling. It is that in which he alludes to what he calls 'the humane and enlightened attitude hitherto assumed by the German government in matters of international right.' In view of Germany's flagrant violation of international right and the laws of warfare, these compliments sound strangely to the English ear. With this reservation we think that the note is worthy of the great country whence it emanates." Graft Ring Charged at Denver Jail Denver.—Charging graft among the officials of the county jail and alleging that men were stripped of their money while incarcerated, Mrs. Bessie Underhill, wife of Ben Underhill, listed by the police as a lead pipe thief and ex-convict, and John C. Monfort, former sheriff of the Kangaroo Court in the lower south wing of the county jail, have submitted affidavits to attorneys representing a group of citizens, and the Colorado Prison Association, to substantiate their allegations. Hold Service in Four States Durango, Colo.—A unique religious service was held at Four Corners by four Episcopal churchmen one standing in Colorado, one in Utah, one in Arizona and one in New Mexico. The services were held during a trip through the Shiprock Indian reservation. Those participating were Bishop Brewer of western Colorado, Bishop Paul Jones of Utah, Bishop Howden of New Mexico and Dean Smith, representing the bishop of Arizona. All were here for the eighth annual Episcopal convocation, which just closed Taft Indorses Wilson Note New York.—A message to President Wilson indorsing the position taken in the note sent to Germany was voted by an assemblage of several hundred persons attending a dinner for Methodist men given by the laymen's missionary movement. William Howard craft was among those who voted for the adoption of the message, and delivered an address in which he strongly praised the spirit in which the note was drafted and the manner of its phrasing. Pioneer Miner Accused of Fraud. Denver.—Joseph W. Parker, pioneer miner former associate of the late Winfield Scott Stratton and J. F. Milliken, St. Louis millionaire, slept on a rude mattress in a county jail cell. He is facing a charge of fraudulently obtaining about $300 from the Golden Cycle mine. Mr. Parker discovered the Golden Cycle mine. It has brought more than $30,000,000 to its owners, but the man in the county jail sold the property for $500. Sends Family Away for Protection Cheyenne, Wyo.—Fearing further attempts to assassinate them, George Weller, whose home twice was dynamited, sent his wife and younger five children to Hanover, Kan. His oldest son, 15, he kept with him and states that they will "hold the fort" and await developments. The police believe they have evidence that the dynamiting was done by Italians and arrests are expected. Fair Commissioner Named Santa Fé. N. M.—Acting Governor de Baca appointed Robert E. Putney of Albuquerque a member of the State Fair Commission to succeed Simon Sterin of Albuquerque, resigned. Date for Rate Hearings Is Set. Washington.—Hearing on the rates and practices of the express companies was set by the Interstate Commerce Commission for May 26 at Washington. Idaho Postmaster Appointed. Washington.—President Wilson appointed R. L. Pennell postmaster of Lewiston, Idaho. THE KITCHEN CABINET It is not raining rain to me, It's raining daffodils; In every dimpled drop I see Wild flowers on the hills. A health unto the happy, A fig for him who frets! It is not raining rain to me. It's raining violets. SOMETHING TO EAT. The housekeeper and cook has the three meals a day to plan, and provide for year in and out, and often the mere thinking is a burden. We all like a change, and tire of the same old things, so it is necessary to be busy hunting new combinations to please the family palate. Olive Tree Eggs With Piquante Sauce.—Chop one green pepper, one teaspoonful of capers, one small pickled onion, one pickle and a sprig of parsley. Dissolve one tablespoonful of butter in boiling water. Add the juice of half a lemon, a pinch of salt, a dusting of flour and the chopped pickle. Cut hard-cooked eggs in quarters and pour the sauce over them. String Beans and Tomatoes.—Drain some freshly cooked string beans and put into a baking dish with some olive oil, chopped onion, parsley, salt and pepper. Set the dish on the stove and cook slowly. As the beans dry add the strained juice of canned tomatoes. Rice, Celery and Veal Soup.—Boil a cupful of rice in a quart of sweet milk in a double boiler. Rub through a sieve when tender and add a pint of rich milk or cream. Boil three hearts of celery until tender, after grating fine, in a quart of veal stock, add the milk to the mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Pineapple Fluff.—Take a pint of double cream, well whipped, mix with a half cupful of powdered sugar and a half cupful of fresh marshmallows quartered. Mix well and serve with a pint of grated pineapple. Serve very cold garnished with a candied cherry or a spoonful of orange marmalade. Amber Marmalade.—One grapefruit, one lemon and one orange, well washed; put through the meat chopper, add ten cupfuls of water and stand over night, then cook until tender, let stand again until cool, add ten cupfuls of sugar and cook until it jells. Put in jelly glasses. Absence, hear thou my protestation Against thy strength, Distance and length. THE JUICY ORANGE I wonder if we fully appreciate the golden fruit which is such a common one in our markets? It may be used for the tiny baby with advantage; it refreshes when one is thirsty, cools the blood, adds mineral substance to it and is most appetizing and grateful to the sick or the well. one in our markets? It may be used for the tiny baby with advantage; it refreshes when one is thirsty, cools the blood, adds mineral substance to it and is most appetizing and grateful to the sick or the well. When giving orange juice to an infant it should be strained and given between feedings. A teaspoonful of cool orange juice to a baby suffering with swollen gums when teething is most grateful. Often a baby cries when thirsty and should be given cold water instead of another meal to overload its little stomach. Oranges are a cheap fruit, which is another advantage, as they may be used in the poorest homes. Orange filling for a chocolate layer cake is a combination which is not well enough known. It is especially tasty. Orange Snow.—Peel and take off all the fiber and white pulp. Separate into sections and mix two cupfuls of freshly grated cocoanut with six oranges, one cupful of pulverized sugar and two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. Garnish with strips of candied orange peel and serve in sherbet cups. Orange marmalade makes a nice sundae, using a tablespoonful of marmalade on top of a sherbet glass of vanilla ice cream. Orange Sherbet.—Use a pint of orange juice, a quarter of a cupful of lemon juice, sugar to sweeten and add a pint of cream. Freeze and serve in sherbet glasses garnished with candied peel or with orange marmalade. Another way of making this sherbet is to use two lemons, two oranges, two cupfuls of sugar and two cupfuls of cream. Freeze and serve with a garnish of candied orange and lemon peel. When serving oranges to invalids all of the tough fiber should be removed, sprinkle with sugar and serve in a pretty glass dish. Nellie Maxwell Mechanism of the Player Piano.

He wijl need a by a community of from two hundred to three hundred persons. The supplies are to last the long winter through for the officials and natives on the reserve. The specifications in their unromantic way give one item as follows: “Paper, festooying, suitable for Christmas decorating, in pieces of about thirty feet each, three dozen pieces,’”” When the government clerk in Washington wrote this specification, per-| haps it occurred to him that Uncle Sam had time in the mundane rush of providing food for his charges to think of their holiday and recreational needs as well. “Baseballs, horsehide cover, rubber center.” So runs a line in the schedule of sundries. Little Eskimo kids in the frozen Northland are to have the opportunity of every American Jad to learn to play baseball. Forty-eight Ingersoll watches are to be supplied. Among the grocery items is one for 300 pounds of candy, American mixed, in pails. As a luxury there will be in addition 24 pounds of first-grade candy, assorted. | Among the canned goods and grocery luxuries are such items as muscat grapes, Bahama pineapples, asparagus, strawberries, jelly, almonds, olives, salad oil and other food articles to serve as dessert or dress the table on state occasions. , There are tam-o-shanters for the girls, ribbon and side and back combs. To satisfy male tastes, the government has called for bids for 5,000 do- mestic cigars, 1,000 Habana cigars, ten boxes of cigarette paper and many hundreds of pounds of smoking tohacco.

Most of them are about two yards long and three quarters wide, with hem-stitched hems an inch and a half or two inches wice. But the wide chiffon, cut in a length sufficient to make a square, and hem- stitched ail around, are very practical. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. | Whatever vagaries the midsummer toay bring in the way of fads, lep.us hope that pretty floating veils will be numbered among them. Short veils of light net or of supple chiffon, that answer the lightest breeze that blows or play with the stiffest wind, arestoo becoming and too pretty in them- selves to be left out of our reckoning.
