PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS VOL. XX11. THE NE IN BU (By William Anthony Aery) As a result of the sixteenth convention of the National Negro Business League which recently held its three-day session in Boston, in 1900 the League was started by Dr. Booker T. Washington and a few like-minded, far-sighted, colored men, the Northern Negro will better understand his Southern brother and the Southern Negro will appreciate, even more fully than he has done, how much the South offers him in the form of opportunity to do something worth while and to become somebody in the life of his community. A desirable transformation this will be! Out of this better understanding there must come to the race more respect for itself, a greater degree of confidence. a growing determination, especially on the part of young men and women, to begin at once, just where they are, to improve their economic condition by practising greater thrift, pushing out into new fields of business activity, and becoming more efficient in their every day business operations. Some seven hundred delegates came together from thirty states, including the District of Columbia. Here were some of the most prosperous members of the Negro race. Yesterday, truth to tell, many of them were not only poor in a worldly sense, but they were without any influence for progress in their home communities. Many of these same delegates were hopeless fifteen years ago, so far as thinking that they could succeed in business. The way to economic independendence, however, was lighted for them by the National Negro Business League. As men without education and property, they exerted little constructive influence either on their black or white neighbors. Today how different is all this! The heart-throbbing stories of uphill climb through long years of sacrifice, work, and faith, which were told with directness, simplicity, and sincerity, under a fire of incisive questions from Dr. Washington and others, would make even the critical and hard headed citizen marvel at the Negro's rare progress during the fifty years of his freedom and especial during the last ten or fifteen years, during which time the pace in business has quickened and competition has become keener. ```markdown ``` Surely a silent revolution has taken place among American Negroes. Some men in Congress, years ago, honestly supposed that Negroes would always have to be fed, clothed, and sheltered. They were not able to look beyond the days of Reconstruction. Today, however, ex-slaves and their children are, in many instances, powerful landlords, rich merchants, level-headed bankers, and important community builders. Today the American Negro is a real asset. Today the best white people of the South are thinking of the Negro as a man and are saying it out loud. They are thinking of him as distinctively a Southern man who is capable of becoming all that God intended he should become. They realize that education does help to improve the Negro. The National Negro Business League does not claim all the honor of bringing about the splendid transformation which means, for racial understanding and good will much more to the white citizens of the Nation, than it does to the millions of colored people. The League has endeavored, however, to encourage Negroes to go into business apply to their work the highest standards, and depend for patronage not on any color line appeal but solely on merit. The League has, through its annual meetings, been a rare inspirational force. It has discovered human beings and has opened the way for, the young, the discouraged, or the inexperienced, to catch a vision of what real success in business means and how that vision may be fully, if painfully, realized The Leagues real work, however, is carried on silently and efficiently through its executive officers who help to organize local business leagues; keep alive the existing leagues, some six hundred in number; administer the necessary tonic for these leagues that seem ready to faint away; offer helpful suggestions to merchants for reaching available Negro customers and for securing better business methods, and keep, through the press, the best interests of the Negro in business before the American public. To Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee, who is the efficient corresponding secretary, Dr. Washington and other Negroes, who know most about the League's work and influence during fifteen years, pay their respectful thanks. Dr. Washington summed up the progress of Negroes in business and indicated that hundreds of thousands of opportunities in bus- DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 11. 1915 State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ANTS WHO ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO iness await Negroes who are ready to grasp and capitalize them. That the Negro in business must pay the price of success, Dr. Washington frankly admits. That the South is clearly the field for the Negro to make his greatest gains is evident from the testimony of Negroes from the North and the South, as well as from such Southerners as Rev. Dr. John E. White of Atlanta, Georgia, and Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Charlottesville, Virginia, president of the Jeanes Fund and director of the Slater Fund. That Negroes in business, especially the women, are going ahead with a tremendous strides and are meeting with the co-operation of the best white people everywhere, should prove encouraging even to those who are inclined to be pessimistic over the segregation legislation, the lynchings, and "The Birth of a Nation," to which Bishop Thirkield referred recently as a "medium for creating race antagonism and division." NATIONAL BAPTIST PUB LISHING HOUSE LOCATED AT NASHVILLE, MAKES EXCEPTIONAL DISPLAY Chicago, Ill., Aug. 30th—Thousands of people in attendance at the Lincoln Jubilee Celebration have viewed the splendid exhibit being made by the National Baptist Publishing Board of Nashville, Tenn. The exhibit was installed last week, and is in charge of an experienced display man who is employed constantly at the Publishing House. In addition to the exhibit at the Coliseum where the Jubilee Celebration is in progress, this institution has an additional exhibit at the Eighth Regiment Armony, where their convention opened its thirty-fifth annual session Wednesday morning, Sept. 5th. One of the most attractive features of the exhibit is the uniqueness with which it is arranged and installed. It shows a graduation in efficiency in the art preservative, having on display their productions in mechanism and literary art from the smallest postal card to a mammoth leather or morocca bound book, the entire exhibit being the work of members of the race employed in the institution. Spectators have already lingered long and admirably at the skill and mechanical perfection displayed in these articles. Their admiration increases when they are told by the instructor that every one of the vast number of people employed at the Nashville institution came to work without experience at any firm or institution in their particular line of work. The exhibit shows samples of twenty three different song books, in which, in most cases, the music was written, composed, arranged, printed, bound and sent out by members of the race. Every line of Sunday school requisites and church helps needed for their denomination is also shown. It has already been pronounced as the most unique exhibit at the Celebration, where it is learned that it will remain until the Exposition closes. COLOR LINE KEEP GREAT MEN OUT OF GAME COLOR LINE KEEP GREAT MEN OUT OF GAME The color line drawn so tightly around major league baseball has barred from major league fields three of the greatest pitchers the game has ever produced. One of the trio, John Donaldson, pitching semi-professional ball in Kansas City, recently pitched thirty innings without allowing a hit or run—a record without parallel. "If Donaldson were a white man, or if the unwritten law of baseball didn't bar Negroes from the major leagues, I would give $50,000 for him—and think I was getting a bargain," said John McGraw, of the Giants, after seeing Donaldson pitch several games in Cuba. Donaldson, just before establishing his record of pitching thirty innings without being hit, struck out twenty-five men in a twelve-inning game—an average of better than two strike-outs per inning. Donaldson just now is twirling for the All Nationals, a Kansas City team composed of players of all nations and an outfit that baseball experts claim is strong enough to give any major league club a nip and tuck battle. Frank Wickware is another Negro pitcher who would rank with Walter Johnson, Joe Woods and Grover Alexander if he were a white man. Wickware performed some marvelous pitching feats in and around Schenectady, N. Y., and has since moved on to Chicago, where he has become a sensation among the semi-pros. Wickware has marvelous speed, a wierd set of curves, and wonderful control. And he has a trick that has made him feared among batters. He throws what seems to be a "bean ball," but his control is so perfect that he never has hit a batter in the head. But when the batters see the ball, propelled with mighty force, come for their heads, they jump away—and the ball, taking its proper and well-timed curve, arches over the plate for a strike. Wickware has compiled a wonderful strike-out average. He figured in about thirty games over a stretch of three years from 1912 and struck out something like 250 batsmen—an average of about eight and one third to a game for the last twenty games pitched, and over a stretch of fifteen games he allowed twenty-six runs to a game. —The Monitor, Omaha, Neb.

Washington spent the afternoon of Tuesday, August 31, visiting the West Point Military Academy. It was their first visit to the Academy. Col. Townsley, the superintendent of the Academy, and Capt.

He heard a commotion outside the courtroom and, rushing out, he found a crowd of several hundred persons gathered around the two, threatening violence if they did not leave the county at once. Mr. Moore at once intervened and while talking to the crowd, pushed the nurse and chauffeur into his motor car and rushed them out of the country. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 2.—Fannie Scheff, 25, Colored 1344 Latham street, was shot and killed last Saturday morning, at 1:30, by Patrolman Arthur Ramsey, at Wellington and Gaston, where she, with two other Colored women, ran into an alley to escape the officers. Bearing in mind the many Colored women holdups about town, Patrolman Ramsey and Christup were patrolling their beat, on the watchout for such characters. Upon turning the corner at Wellington and Gaston, they saw the three women standing in the shadow of a building. The women turned and ran as they caught sight of the officers. A command to halt was not heeded, and Ramey fired upon the trio, as they turned into the alley. The Scheff woman was struck in the thigh, and fell. The bullet ranged upward, penetrating a fatal spot. She was removed to the city hospital, where she died two hours later. The other two women escaped Officers O'Brien and Davis investigated.

Colorado We Make Old Hats New AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Exhibits of the handiwork of 2,000,000 colored school children in all parts of America form part of the Lincoln jubilee exhibit in the Coliseum, Chicago. One of the leading exhibits is that of Wilberforce university, the oldest colored institution in America, and a school where students are taught everything from Latin to making plowshares. Another school which has a well-arranged exhibit is Howard university of Washington, D. C., while the instruction given to Negro students in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and nursing is well displayed in the exhibit of Meharry Medical college of Nashville, Tenn. Chicago is not neglected, for there are 15 boys and a like number of girls, about sixteen years old, who are demonstrating the training in the manual arts and domestic science courses which is given in the local public schools. The Chicago display is under the direction of A. J. Brinkman of the Hendricks school and Miss Elleen Gerty of the Mitchell school. Wilberforce university is near Xenia, O., and is in the direct line taken in the middle of the last century by slaves escaping from their southern bondage. The archives of the school are filled with thrilling incidents of the escape of slaves, some of whom had the temerity to stop and attempt to secure an education at Wilberforce. The university was founded by the Methodist Episcopal church, and Dr. Rust of the Freedmen's Aid was its first president. When the war broke out, communication with the South was cut off and the Methodist church wished to sell the property. A brewery offered to buy it, but the offer was turned down and finally it was bought by Dr. Daniel A. Paine, a prominent colored man, and control of the institution passed to the African M. E. church. Now the school is well established financially and annual sums are appropriated by the Ohio legislature for its support. Last year the appropriation was $55,000. There are now 500 students, ranging in age from fourteen years upward. The exhibit includes a plow which was made by a student, examples of cabinet work in the line of bookcases, chairs and other furniture. Howard university at Washington, D. C., is represented through a number of photographs showing the students in various phases of their collegiate work. Howard university was founded by Gen. O. O. Howard, who was supported by Harriett Beecher Stowe, Henry Ward Beecher, Stephen A. Douglas and other noted Americans of the Civil war days. The work of the Catholic church is shown through the exhibit of five orders of nuns, the Oblate Sisters of Providence, the Sisters of the Holy Family, the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, the Techney Sisters and the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. The first two sisterhoods named are exclusively for colored women. Much has been said of what Booker T. Washington is doing for the Negro. So much has been said that was good of his influence, and so much that was bad, that we have hesitated between the right and the wrong of it, writes Mrs. J. B. Reid in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. We have sometimes come in contact through our domestic service with an element of arrogance, impudence and Of the total number of 7,317,922 Negroes ten years of age and over, enumerated in 1910, 5,192,535, or 71 per cent, were reported as gainfully employed, the percentages for males and females being 87.4 and 54.7 respectively. The corresponding percentages for native whites were 77.9 and 19.2. Of the gainfully employed Negro males, 30.9 per cent—almost one-third—were farm laborers, and 25 per cent were farmers. The other leading occupation groups for Negro males, with the percentage of the total represented by each, were as follows: Laborers, building and hand trades, 5.2; laborers, saw and planing mills, 2.9; laborers, steam railroad, 2.7; porters, except in stores, 1.6; draymen, teamsters and expressmen, 1.6; coal mine operatives, 1.2; laborers, porters and helpers in stores, 1.2; waiters, 1.1; laborers, road and street building and repairing, 1.1; cooks, 1.0; deliverymen, stores, 1.0; carpenters, 1.0. For females, the leading capacities in which employed, with the percentage represented by each, were as follows: Farm laborers, 48.1; laundresses (not in laundry), 17.9; cooks, 10.2; In response to the advertisement of the United States navy department for 1,500,000 teak decking logs, a Manilla lumber firm has submitted an offer of 500,000 feet of yacal, a Philippine wood resembling teak, which is regarded as the equal of teak for construction purposes. This is the first time that such offers of Philippine woods have been made to the navy. It all depends. If you are not interested in golf it is a bore. If you are it is a disease. ignorance who claim tutorage, even to have graduated at "Booker Washington's school." These have prejudiced us against an attempt to educate the Negro. Again, we have members of the race living among us giving good, intelligent, unpretentious service, striving quietly for right, and working capably in their line of industry. This is because we do not know, have not actually seen what is being done for the Negro, with Alabama as the working center. A week ago I left Birmingham for Tuskegee, reaching there the afternoon of the same day. Arriving at the depot at about two o'clock, I was driven through the quaint little town, with its huge shade trees and colonial homes, to the Tuskegee Normal institute. From the moment I entered the grounds I saw the result of a wonderful industry—a small city laid off in streets, with parks, blooming plants and graveled driveways. The center, the school plant and its workshops, with a circular border of well-kept homes, the homes of the teachers. At a distance a beautiful view of growing fields and meadows with stock grazing leisurely along. Amazed does not express my impression at first, and astonishment never ceased in my rounds. All of the route from Montgomery along the way I had noticed the same old plantation shanty, the wash pot and the half red dog, I could never have imagined such a transformation from existence to comfort, from idleness to work, could have taken place within so few miles of one to the other. The story reads like a fable. In 1881, 34 years ago, there was a political campaign on in Macon county. The Negro had a voice in the elections. As a reward for political service a promise was fulfilled to the leader of the Negro voters—"that a good teacher would be furnished to the Negroes of Tuskegee." Booker T. Washington was the fulfillment of that promise—a political product that has worked well. He had been educated at Hampton, Va., and came in response to the demand for a teacher—thus the Negro race came to be in possession of a leader whose influence has been felt over the world, and whose executive ability has built a city of his own out of the barren fields in Macon county. Land was purchased at $1 an acre; then that has价钱 today. Gradually the school property has increased in acreage until it numbers 2,300 acres now, with 1,500 under cultivation. Already there are 38 handsome buildings of brick, dormitories, study halls, dining hall, a Carnegie library with a circulation of 4,000 books, a hospital recently built and equipped at the cost of $55,000; an electric plant at a cost of $300,000 has just been finished. These bear the names of the philanthropists who have made them possible. All of the labor has been done by the student body of the school—even the brick are made on the premises. This is a wonderful workshop from gateway to field. It would take one a week to see the industry that is under process of creation along all lines; and a book to enumerate all I thought and half that I saw. The entire work of shop and field is done by the student body, thus the expense of procuring the advantages offered by the school is very much reduced to the pupil. farmers, 3.9; dressmakers and seamstresses (not in factory), 1.9; school teachers, 1.1. Statistics compiled by the National Negro Business league show that in the fifteen years of the organization's existence the value of farm property in this country owned by Negroes has increased from $177,404,688 to $492,892,218. That is a truly remarkable record of race progress in thrift and in the agricultural pursuits which it has latterly been the fashion to encourage. The Negro at least is setting an excellent example in "getting back to the land."—New York World. A Springfield (Mo.) man took out homestead papers the other day on an 80-acre tract of land 100 miles from that city. Before applying at the land office for the papers he walked the entire distance and back in order to visit the property. When he got back he had just enough money to pay for the land and cover the necessary fees. You can never tell what a woman thinks by what she says. People generally speak well of Hobe Fisher, who is a hopeless inefficient and who has been a burden on his wife's people ever since he was married. But they bitterly attack Samuel Plympton, who is rich and influential and one of the fairest men in town. Medical men say that persons who attain their thirtieth year without suffering from any serious disease are likely—all things being equal—to live till they are at least seventy-eight years of age. ONE DEAD,49 HURT IN D. & R.G.WRECK ONE DEAD,49 HURT IN D. & R.G.WRECK FIREMAN PINNED UNDER CAB; COOKED BY STEAM FROM LOCOMOTIVE. FREIGHT HITS EXPRESS ENGINEER SERIOUSLY BURNED, AND PASSENGERS BRUISED, AT TENNESSEE PASS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Leadville, Colo.—Elmer John, fireman, was killed, and William King, engineer, was seriously burned, forty-three passengers and six other trainmen hurt, when a D. & R. G. helper engine crashed head-on into a double-header express train near Pando Wednesday morning. One engine was thrown upon its side; the ends of two steel cars were crushed and about sixty feet of track was torn. The place where the accident happened was upon a piece of track laid on a high bank 200 feet above the stream, and, had the cars been thrown from the track, the resulting casualties would have been frightful. John was caught under the engine that left the track and was cooked by the steam from the boiler. Aid was speedily given him and he was extircated, but he died while on the way to the hospital at Salida. Information given here is that the crew of the engine, which was a freight train helper, is to blame. The helper engine is one which aids the engines of regular trains to pull their loads over the heavy grades in this mountain division. Passenger Train No. 20, which is one of the crack trains operated from Salt Lake City by the Rio Grande, connecting with the Western Pacific line from the coast, was filled with tourists home bound from the Panama Pacific Exposition. Among the Coloradoans injured were James R. Donaldson, Irene B. Donaldson, L. E. Armstrong, J. Raysville and O. A. Evers of Denver, and B. F. Benson, Bertha C. Norris and Mary R. Norris of Colorado Springs. BERLIN NOTE GIVEN U.S. Germany Says Arabic Tried to Ram Submarine, and Offers to Arbitrate—No More Attacks. Berlin. — Germany's note to the United States concerning the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic by a German submarine was communicated to James W. Gerard, the American ambassador, Wednesday evening. The note ascribes the destruction of the liner to an act of self-defense on the part of the submarine, expresses the German government's deep regret that American lives were lost thereby and offers to refer the questions of reparation and compensation to The Hague for adjustment. The note reveals in detail the instructions to submarine commanders concerning their treatment of liners. They are ordered not to attack a passenger steamer except in case of an attempt to escape after it is ordered to halt or unless its actions indicate an intention to attack the submarine. The submarine commander, according to his report, concerning the sending of the Arabic to the bottom, said he believed the Arabic was about to attack the submarine and therefore he acted within his instructions. DUMBA ASKS FEDEPAL AID. Austrian Envoy to Continue Strikes in U. S. With or Without Consent. Washington.—Dr. Constantin Dumba, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador, left Wednesday for the summer embassy at Lenox, Mass., to await word from Secretary Lansing as to whether the United States government is satisfied with his explanation of his intercepted letter to the Vienna foreign office outlining plans for withdrawing Austro-Hungarian labor and handicapping American plants manufacturing war supplies. It is no secret in official circles that the administration would not countenance any sort of participation in such a movement. The ambassador's statement to Mr. Lansing that he was acting under instructions from his government in all that he planned to do apparently has made a diplomatic issue of the affair far more serious than a mere question of ethics or propriety involving only Dr. Dumba himself. It is understood that the ambassador proposes to go ahead with his plans without regard to the attitude of the American government. Grand Duke to Minor Army Post. Petrograd.—Grand Duke Nicholas has been transferred to the Caucasus by Emperor Nicholas. The Emperor took this action on assuming command of the military and naval forces of Russia. In transferring the Grand Duke he appointed him Viceroy of the Caucasus and commander-in-chief of the army on the southern front. The Grand Duke thanked the men for their heroism in the past and predicted that, with the Emperor leading them, they would perform fresh exploits. LEGAL FIGHT PREDICTED ATTORNEY GENERAL ADVISES WITNESSES MUST APPEAL. Officers' Committee and Union May Take Part in Case to Determine Powers of Investigating Body. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—A legal clash between the State Military Board of Inquiry and representatives of the United Mine Workers and possibly the members of the officers' committee which filed charges against National Guard heads was predicted following the rendering of an opinion by Attorney General Farrar defining the powers of the Military Court. The attorney general held that the military board has the right to summon witnesses, and to fine or send them to jail for contempt if they refuse to be sworn to testify. Apprised of the ruling, counsel for the United Mine Workers' representatives, who have been making investigations in Colorado, announced that applications for writs of habeas corpus have been prepared, and that if the board attempts to fine or to send to jail witnesses who refuse to testify, the entire question of the military board's authority will be made the subject of a test case in the civil courts. The writ of attachment for Major Elliott was issued by Colonel Boughon. It consists of a certified copy of the executive order naming the board of inquiry, the subpoena issued for Major Elliott and an affidavit of personal service of the subpoena upon Major Elliott. Award to Widow Under New Act. Award to Widow Under New Act. Denver.—The first month's operation of the workmen's compensation act was brought to a dramatic close with the settlement of the first death award under circumstances which the members of the Industrial Commission declare bring out vividly the benefits of the system. Luigi Cardinale, an employé of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, was killed Aug. 9 by a fall of coal. The accident was due to a "slip" or natural fault in the vein formation and was of those classed as "unavoidable." No blame could fasten on the company, the employé or his fellow workers and under the old system, according to Charles W. O'Donnell, chief of the claim department, no damages could have been collected through the courts. Yet Mrs. Angela Cardinale was awarded $34.72 per month, half her husband's pay, for a period of seventy-two months, $17.36 of it going to her children until they become of age and the remainder to herself, unless she marries again. Mrs. Cardinale will be required to give an accounting to the industrial commission of the manner in which this money is spent. The books for August show the operation of the compensation law through the following figures: Total number of accidents reported, 564; disposed of, 298; disabilities of one week or less, 117; disabilities of two or three weeks, 79; entitled to compensation, 58; deaths, 12. This shows 12 per cent of accidents entitled to compensation, 32 per cent resulting in disabilities under the three-week limit, and 2 per cent fatal. Thirty per cent of the accidents reported during the month were insured under the state fund. Colorado Peace Delegates Named. Denver. Colorado delegates to the International Peace Congress, to be held at San Francisco from Oct. 10 to 12, have been appointed. The Denver members are Verner Z. Reed, L. C Phipps, Armour C. Anderson, Dr. Jas H. Baker, L. M. Cuthbert, A. C. Carson, Rev. Wm. S. Friedman, E. B Hendrie, Rev. J. H. Houghton, A. R King, Frank McLaughlin, E. A. Peters, Platt Rogers, F. W. Sanborn, Dr William T. Slocum, T. G. Smith, Judge S. Harrison White and Edward J Yetter.

Ehrhart. To the American Mining Congress, to be held at San Francisco from Sept. 20 to 22 the Denver delegates are D. W. Brunton, Fred Carroll, O. E. Cary and Carl Johnson. Burnett Replies to Governor. Denver.—James A. Burnett, president of the State Racing Commission, sent to Governor Carlson a reply to the latter's communication asking for the resignation of Commissioners Burnett and Dunleavy. The letter from Mr. Burnett says that both he and Dr. M. J. Dunleavy are busy aiding in the conduct of county fairs in the northern part of the state, and as soon as the State fair at Pueblo is concluded on Sept. 18 they will be glad to take up with the governor "any differences that seem to exist between you and the commission, or between you and any member or members of the commission." Board Claims Power Over Utilities Denver.—That it alone has the authority to make rates and define the service of public utilities in Colorado, whether such utilities are owned by municipalities or private interests was the announcement made by the State Public Utilities Commission in passing on issues before it involving the Denver Tramway Company. In making its ruling the utilities board for the first time took a definite stand on a question which was raised when the public utilities act was before the Legislature in 1913.

Apart from our immediate domestic entanglements; away from the trivialities of that which generally surround us; separated as a whole by that law which is enquiring into the origin and genuineness of races, we find ourselves confronted with something which not only makes us stop and think, but which asks the questions: "What is our aim, where are we going, when shall we reach the goal?" The Colored Citizens' League in its endeavor to combat with present conditions, says: "We are on the road to the solution of this problem, and if supported by the classes of our people that stand for right, justness and impartiality, we will by our persistent efforts prove that we are not living in the realms of imagination, but laboring for a specific and distinctive action which must result in the suppression of ills towards us and the amelioration of the existing circumstances which seem to overwhelm us." The League is extending its influence by inaugurating auxiliaries in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Cañon City, Walsenburg, Glenwood Springs and other places, and not only is it engaging itself in the political status of our people, but also in the educational, financial and social. Political Positions There are people of our race occupying positions in the City and County of Denver today through the help and influence of the League that may not be quite satisfied with their spheres of employment, but if they can remember the old and wise adage of "accepting the lesser for the acquisition of the greater," "the smaller for the larger," they would more than profit by the law of ENDURANCE in their efforts to accomplish what may appear to be impossible in the face of conditions in this western country. Women Supervisors. Positions of truant officers would be welcomed by the colored citizens, as from the negligence of the officers of the other side many of our boys and girls are falling into the MIRE from which there is no escape, and in place of representative citizens in the near or far future, we have that element which must cater to the cancerous growth of some malady. Affiliation With White Organizations. Communications have been received from white organizations requesting the League to confer with them in matters affecting the city and state While the League has every desire to assist any noble cause, yet its position must be clearly understood, that it feels as an organization representing a number of taxpayers and electors, it must be taken in confidence from the start, and if it comprises citizens of integrity, moral stamina and financial prestige in the community, then of necessity it must be interested in the same uplift, welfare, progress and development of the state and country which gave it birth. Education of Our People. The League is making every effort to impress the parents of our children to exercise more thought and care in having them remain in school for the full terms, as the same will be more advantageous to us as a people and race, and in our contribution to the nation's success it will be acknowledged fact sooner or later that among the prime qualities that go to make a nation, EDUCATION and MONEY must be invaluable attributes. The Reminder. Last Tuesday night will be remembered for the enthusiasm displayed and the pledge made to steer the organization on to success. Petty difference, selfishness and everything antagonistic to progress, had no place, and everyone present after expressing freely, concluded that the Colored Citizens' League was born of Realty, stood for Reality and meant Reality. Every Tuesday evening the members are in their places at 1025 Twenty-first street, where the public is cordially invited.

It is more important, more interesting to you than that given by the paper or magazine from the outside world. It is the first reading matter you should buy. Each issue of this paper gives to you just what you will consider The Right Kind of Reading Matter --- Universal Demand Is for Experience By ED T. GILTZOW. Columbus, Ohio Universal Demand Is for Experience By ED T. GILTZOW. Columbus, Ohio and profoundly desiring to avert this calamity, I have sought in vain for an opportunity to enter, specialize and develop in the automobile industry. With this end in view I have planned with sincerity of purpose, enthusiastically and systematically to devote my leisure moments to the acquisition of knowledge and skill with the object of enhancing the value of my services both to my employer and myself, and with the ultimate aim of becoming a sales representative. One of the mountainous obstacles impeding the realization of this aspiration is the universal demand for experience and the seeming equally universal lack among employers of volunteers to contribute to the novice the first opportunity for its acquisition. Wending his way from door to door in a futile and discouraging search, the prospective specialist must soon accept employment of whatever nature to sustain himself and possibly some dependents. With this acceptance of uncongenial employment his opportunity for further search is curtailed. His enthusiasm dampened, indifference finally results. Vocational training is an obligation which society owes its younger members because of the highly technical and complex nature of modern industry. Well organized federal employment bureaus co-operating with such schools would solve this problem at least partially. One cannot blame the young man, whether, as one contributor expresses it, he is "cognizant or not" of the danger of just floating through life, and the gainfulness of planning with his own God-given bent in mind a lifework. At least not until we offer a "fair field and no favor." Opportunities when made available will find no want of eligible applicants. I have often heard it remarked that people of the new South were not so courteous as was the case in antebellum days, and perhaps this is true. Help Rather Than Hinder One Another By J. F. KNOX, Birmingham, Ala. But, nevertheless, the people of Birmingham and other communities are well disposed and usually wish to help rather than hinder one another. For example, I was recently employed in taking a time view of one of the downtown show windows. It was a rush order and the work had to be performed in the busy part of the day. In taking a picture of this kind it is necessary to have an exposure of ten minutes without interruption. The camera was stationed at the edge of the sidewalk so as to have the correct distance, and a friend politely requested pedestrians not to pass before the camera. One would be surprised at the number of people who will pass a given point when business is brisk. I suppose there were several hundred. But with the exception of two instances there was ready acquiescence to my friend's request. This incident, I think, will go to show that by far the greater portion of the people of Birmingham, at least, are to all practical purposes considerate and kindly disposed and prefer to help rather than hinder the worker. Superficiality Is Greatest of Sins By C. C. Reynolds, Dayton, Ohio Superficiality Is Greatest of Sins By C. C. Reynolds, Dayton, Ohio One of the great sins of the age is superficiality—an indifference to the deeper meaning of things; an indisposition to think. It is the dusty outside, the frivolous glimpse of events and things, the joke of it, that engage the universal attention. This situation is destructive of character and sacrifices understanding, which is the basis of wisdom. Many think this is no offense; that one is innocent if he is only superficial. We take to the frivolous and laughing side of things, just as we take to narcotics and intoxicants, because it is pleasant and tends to relieve one from the anxieties and duties of the hour. A person thus slips away on a falderal from the realities of life. The Bible enjoins upon us to be sober-minded. This admonition is as wholesome and exacting as any part of the Decalogue. It is based upon the idea that superficiality is destructive of mind and soul. The frivolous person has no character, no purpose in life, no respect for wisdom and understanding. The evil effects are everywhere shown—in church, in school, in court, in legislative hall, in shops; there is no insistence upon truth. Siberian Pea Tree of Early Origin By J. P. PEDERSEN, Chicago In a recent article on "City Gardening" the Siberian pea tree is mentioned as a late introduction by the United States government. This is a mistake. The tree—or, rather, large In a recent article on "City Gardening" the Siberian pea tree is mentioned as a late introduction by the United States government. This is a mistake. The tree—or, rather, large shrub—is an old acquaintance. The date of its discovery is given in Nicholson's "Dictionary of Gardening" as the year 1752. No doubt it has been cultivated in Europe since about that time, being introduced to this country not much later. In 1910 we planted seeds of it in the city nursery at the Gage farm and have them at present, about five thousand plants, besides a few sent us a couple of years ago from the government. It is a rather useful plant, one of its good qualities being its hardiness. But, though I have handled it for the last twenty years in the Chicago parks, I don't believe I have ever seen a flower on it here, although in Europe it flowers very freely. Its botanical name is Caragana arborescens. What strange ideas many persons have of liberty! What an amount of mischief has been done to society by such "rabble charming words," as South calls them—words "which have Many Have Strange Ideas of Liberty By C. R. REICHOW, Brooklyn, N. Y. What strange ideas many persons have of liberty! What an amount of mischief has been done to society by such "rabble charming words," as South calls them—words "which have so much wildfire wrapped up in them"—as liberty, equality and fraternity! How many who "bawl for freedom" confound it with license! A republic presupposes a high state of morals, but how can this be possible without the habit of subordination and respect, and how can these exist without humility? The true freeman is not only jealous of his own rights, but respects and cares for the rights of others, and is indignant when any man, even the meanest, is wronged or trampled under foot. The man who is always boasting of his freedom is probably a slave to the meanest and most tyrannical vices, passions or prejudices.

Oasis of Denver, Desert of Colorado, Shawall 23, 1333, Syrian Temple No. 49, Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, sheltered beneath its dome five distinguished visiting Nobles from Eastern and Southern Deserts. These nobles had tented their camels and had taken to automobiles. In the Great Desert of Colorado These travelling Nobles beheld the minarets of Syrian Temple and forthwith came to participate in the ceremonies. Syrian Temple thrice welcomed with all all her possible hospitality these visiting Shriners: Noble Joseph P. Evans $ 33^{\circ} $ , potentate of Jerusalem Temple, No. 4, Baltimore, Md.; Noble Geo. E. Frey, $ 33^{\circ} $ , of Jerusalem Temple No. 4, Baltimore, Md.; Noble J. O. Bamfield, $ 33^{\circ} $ , past potentate of Mecca Temple No. 10, Washington, D.C.; Noble W. W. Lawrence, $ 33^{\circ} $ , potentate of Arabian Temple No. 42, New Bern, N. C.; Noble R. L. Pendleton, $33^{\circ}$, of Mecca Temple No. 10, Washington, D. C., and most Puisant Sovereign Grand Commander of Scottish Rite Masonry for the Southern jurisdiction, whose grand East is at Washington, D. C. These wise men from the East brought wonderful tidings and interesting mystic greetings. These were Nobles—peers differing in individuality—but in their nobility formed a complete cycle of Shriner Tenets Syrian Temple says to them Aliekum Es Salaam, may their tribe increase—may God spare them to return. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN. E. 23rd Avenue and Washington Street, Pastor J. A. Thos-Hazell, S. T. B. Sermon topics Sunday, September 12th: 11 a. m.—"The Kingdom Photographed." 5:30 p. m.—"Small Beginning With Large Ending." Owing to a breakdown of the engine, the train conveying Mr. Stewart to Denver for the monthly concert at this church last Sabbath, was four hours late. We hope at some future date to have the benefit of this distinguished man's services. In lieu of his absence the choir produced an improvised program to a large and appreciative audience. Dr. John Ford of Bethel Institutional church, Fla., graced the pulpit of the People's church last Sabbath afternoon and deliveried a most interesting and comprehensive address to the people. The key-note of his address was a comparison of church life among our people of the North and South, the latter having the better. Mrs. M. E. Morrison, a former parishioner of the Doctors, entertained her present pastor and Brother Ford at dinner on that day. One thing craving the attention of the parishioners of the People's church right now is the program of activities in connection with the anniversary exercises of the church, beginning Tuesday night with prayer and song services. Wednesday night, the 22nd, will be a debate, "Resolved that Country Life Is More Conducive to Good Citizenship Than City Life." Mr. J. Manuel, (affirmative) Mrs. Alice Webb, (negative) will open the discussion with a fifteen minutes paper each. Weighty arguments on both sides will be advanced by competent persons, among them being Rev. A. C. Jackson, pastor Second Baptists church, Boulder; Mr. Geo. W. Gross, secretary of state office, etc. The board of judges will be announced in our next issue. Thursday night, 23rd, complimentary entertainment on behalf of the young people will be given. Friday night everybody is invited to hear Miss Mabel Acom of Nebraska and Mr. Dick Jerome of New York in a comedy and drama. Sunday morning Rev. L. E. West of Dearfield will preach the anniversary sermon. The afternoon platform exercises will wind up the series. Elder W. S. Evans, with Rev. J. A. Thos. Hazell, will represent People's church in fall meeting of Presbytery at Central Presbyterian church, Tuesday, Sept. 21. Rev. West and an Elder will represent the Union church of Dearfield. SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES Rev. Robert L. Pope, B. D., Pastor. The pastor will fill the pulpit both morning and evening tomorrow. His subject for the morning discourse will be, "Help for the Discouraged." This being the final Sabbath for the conference year, every member who has not already paid his conference claims is urged to pay Sunday so as not to delay the pastor in making his conference report. We are glad to announce that the conference report is rounding out nicely and our church will go into the conference with colors flying, but we desire that every member will pay his Dollar Money Sunday so that our pastor may be prepared to report Wednesday when our report will be called for. It is not like Shorter to ask the Bishop for more time. Our stewards are making special efforts to pay off our pastor in full and our congregation is asked to bring an extra offering Sunday to help them. Bishop H. B. Parks is expected to reach the city today and worship at Shorter tomorrow. He will open the twenty-ninth session of the Colorado Annual Conference at 9:30 Wednesday morning at Shorter Chapel. Our members and friends are invited to attend the sessions of the conference regularly. A number of distinguished visitors are expected, and we are desirous of the citizens of Denver being out to enjoy the many good things which the conference will bring to us. The opening sermon will be preached Wednesday morning and the Holy Communion will be administered. On Wednesday evening the following program will be rendered: : Program. 1. Charus—Campbell's Choir. 4. Piano Duet, Misses Lillian Richardson and Mary Colston. 5. Recitation, "The Bravest Battles," Lille Winifred Steele. 6.

Causes of Unhappiness The worst kinds of unhappiness, as well as the greatest amount of it, come from our conduct to each other. If our conduct, therefore, were under the control of kindness, it would be nearly the opposite of what it is, and so the state of the world would be almost reversed. We are for the most part unhappy, because the world is an unkind world. But the world is only unkind for the lack of kindness in us units who compose it—Frederick William Faber. Truth About Diseases Dr. Weir Mitchell, one of the most eminent physicians in the world, once said: "What we call diseases are only symptoms of conditions. Allow the man's vitality to be reduced to a certain point and he is ripe for any of these weaknesses which we call disease." What Heaven Means to Me. When we have traversed the dim leagues, and have seen things wonderful at every turn, and have passed through the bitter flood, we shall find—at least this is my hope—no guarded city of God from which we shall go no more out, but another road passing into wider fields and dimmer uplands, and to things more and more wonderful and strange and unknown.—Arthur C. Benson in Century Magazine. THE Joslin DRY GOODS CO.

Chapman.) The mayor of Tolliver Guich drew up his horse as a piercing scream rang out beyond the belt of timber lining the lonely mountain road he was traversing. Then noting a cloud of smoke through the trees he di- yerged from the trail, got beyond the barrier and made out the little town ot Golconda in the distance, and near- er at band on its outskirts a lonely hut, ablaze below and a woman out- side, wringing her hands and shrieking helplessly. New mayoralty honors clustered thick and newly about John Griffiths: at Tolliver Gulch, but here at a dis- tance from his home town, and ever chivalrous and helpful, he forgot dignity. He dashed up to the side of the distracted woman within three minutes, brought his steed to its haunches, summarily leaped to the ground and shouted forth: “Anyone in the building?” “No! No!" cried the woman, “but all my papers are. They will be lost; we will be ruined—oh, save them! Save them!” She was a tiny bit of humanity, pep- pery and active, Griffith saw that, but she had evidently not been able to lift a heavy ladder that she had dragged to the spot. “where are the papers?” inquired Griffiths, “Up in the little low attic, Beyond that window,” and she pointed up- wards. “They're In a box on top of a big chest. “No! No!” she added, frantically, as Griffiths made a move- ment as if to rush in through the open lower door. “It's all ablaze in there. ‘The ladder; oh, quick! quick! Never mind anything but the papers.” John Griffiths had the ladder specd- ity in place. He was not even po = a alana i, Fe Th) See 4 pS e i \ rit HI. ( tel I | | J 27 | | smudged, so promptly and deftly did ho reach the attic, secure the wooden box described and place it in the pos- session of its anxious, trembling and grateful woman. “The old hut is gone, and I'm glad of it!” she exclaimed. “It was not fit to live in and hasn't been for along. time. ‘That lazy, roving husband of mine will haye a startler when he comes back, and I'm glad of that, too! ‘The papers—they're saved, thank goodness! ‘They mean a good deal to me, for they are deeds, and mine claims and all that. Mister, if a ten- dolar bill—? “Thank you, but I've done a simple “uty, and glad to be a help to you,” interrupted Griffiths. “Can I be of anq further assistance?” “No, mister, but I'l never forget your kindness. I've a sister in town who will take me in till my husband shows up—the worthless, wandering critter!” ‘The mayor of Tolliver Gulch smiled to himself as he recognized the di- minutive little lady as ® being with a spirit of her own. Then he rode on his way, thinking of another certain little lady who filled his thoughts con- tinually. It was a rough community among whom he had cast his lot at the Gulch, but he had found a jewel rare am{d the incongruous environ- ment. It was Velma Dalton, the daughter of the district judge. | Grit- fiths, as @ rising young lawyer, had won the good opinion of the judge. ‘The latter represented the reform ele- ment of the struggling border settle- ment. It was through his influence and support that Griffiths had been elected mayor. ‘That position was proving anything but a bed of roses. Tho rough ele- ment of the Gulch was opposed to in- novations. Defeated at the polls, they went about cross-grained and venge- ful, Thero were mutterings of dis- content and yelled threats. The out- cast element, however, feared the law, and the dignity and determina- tion of the judge had so far prevented any serious outbreak. Griffiths reached the Gulch just aft- er dark. As he passed the Red Beav- er tavern he caught the echoes of some wild jubilation. He learned its cause when he reached home. His landlady looked frightened and agi tated, “Oh, I am so glad you have got home safe!” she exclaimed, “They have been here.” “Who has been here?” questioned Griffiths. “The committee from the rustlers It's about renewing the license of the dance hall, sir.” “I answered them once,” spoke Grit: fiths, his lips setting firmly, “They have had my ultimatum.” “Yes, sir; but they threaten a big row. They had Giant Gabe with them, and his gang It seems they've hired him to come here and upset the town, if you don't give way.” “Not an inch!” pronounced Grit- fiths, determinedly. “Then, sir, don't show yourself on the streets. The mob is drunk and ugly, and bound to do you up if you don’t grant that license.” Griffiths paid no attention to this warning. He felt it beneath his dig- nity. He called upon Velma that same evening, Her father was seri- ous and she anxious over the situa- tion. Neither, however, attempted to influence him to recede one step from his fixed position regarding the carry. ing out of the law. ‘The next morning GriMths proceed ed quietly to his office. He haé heard of a wild debauch at the tay ern and of this imported bravo, Giant Gabe, and his gang. It seems they had appeared in similar circumstances as hirelings to help the half-subdued rowdy element of the towns voting for reform, hoping to intimidate the champions of the new movement. ‘The convivialists of the evening previous were, it seemed, sleeping off the effects of their debauch during the morning. Just after noon, how. ever, as Griffiths was crossing the public square he saw a hooting, strag- gling mob pouring out through the doors of the tavern. At their head was a red-shirted, brawny-fisted fellow over six feet in height and viciously intoxicated. GriMths doubted not that this was Giant Gabe. Urged by the crowd he hustled along to the spot where Grif- fiths had halted. He squared off in front of him, egged on by his turbu- lent cohorts. “You're the mayor, they tell me!” he bellowed. “Well, I'm nominated by the people to protect their liber- ties. Rattlesnakes—I eat 'em!" Giant Gabe glared horribly, leaped up two feet in the air and cracked his heels together. “Dnawite!” he roared—“I sleep over a box of it!” Calmly Griffiths regarded the mouthy demagogue, but planted firm- ly, his glance noting every movement. of the raging bully. “Powder and shot—my chewing gum! You goody-doody specimen of a tenderfoot, I'm going to wipe you out with one whack!” @rish! Giant Gabe struck out, but Griffths dodged. Then up came his fist. The burly bully lay in a heap at his feet. “None of that, you big coward!” A woman's rasping tones uttered the words. She shot through the crowd, and as Giant Gabe tugged at his belt for a revolver, grabbed him by one ear. “You great hulking bluffer!” she cried. “You'd shoot at the unarmed man, eh? There! and there! and there!” and she cuffed him soundly. “Know who this man 1s?" she de- manded, pointing to the mayor. “He's the man who saved all our valuable papers when our old shanty burned down. March!” Giant Gabe struggled to his feet and slouched away from the spot. Most of the crowd roared with laugh- ter. The tiny woman dominated the great rugged giant as though he were a pigmy. An hour later word went out from Giant Gabeto his adherents to return to their homes. To the rebellious home-town mob Gabe sent other word, that if any further move was made against the new mayor “he would wade in and clean out the crowd, tay- ern and all!” So Nancy, wife of Giant Gabe, saved the day, and Tolliver Gulch settled down into respectability, and its may- or married Velma Dalton, During the last two years traveling salesmen in the middle western and western states have discovered a pleasant and cheap mode of traveling from town to town along their routes, by pooling their funds and investing in an automobile. In most cases the car actually was bought by one of four or five drummers who usually traveled together, the others contribut- ing the running expenses, lunches, etc., to the upkeep. As a result, rather reck- less driving at night, and frequent smash-ups on the roads, occurred when the “part-owners” took the steer- ing wheel. The Nebraska supreme court decided recently that each and every “contributor” to the upkeep of the car was an “owner” in the eyes of the law, and strictly responsible for all damage done by its operation, Speeding at night has since shown a material decrease in the ranks of the Knights of the suitcase.’—Scientitic American, Two of a Kind, “I met some interesting people last night at Mrs. Gadder’s house.” “Yes?” “There was an explorer, a novelist, a playwright and a musician,” “A distinguished company.

Berlin—In its note to the United States on the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic Aug. 19, the German government says that it “most deeply regrets that lives were lost through the action of the commander; it par ticularly expressed this regret to the government of the United States on account of the death of American citt zens,” and adds: “The German government is unable, however, to acknowledge any obliga: tion to grant indemnity in the matter, even if the commander should have been mistaken as to the aggressive in- tentions of the Arabic.” The text of the note given Ambas: sador Gerard, Sept. 7, follows: “On Aug. 19, a German submarine stopped the English steamer Dunley about sixteen nautical miles south of Kinsale and was on the point of sink- ing the prize by gun fire after the crew had left the vessel, “At this moment the commander saw a large steamer making directly toward him. ‘This steamer, as devel- oped later, was the Arabic, She was recognized as an enemy vessel, as she did not fly any flag and bore no new: tral markings. |, “When she approached, she altered her original course, but then again ‘pointed directly toward the submarine, _ “From this the commander became convinced that the steamer had the intention of attacking and ramming him. “In order to anticipate this attack, he gave orders for the submarine to dive and fired a torpedo at the steam er. After firing he convinced him: self that the people on board were being rescued in fifteen boats, “According to his instructions, the commander was not allowed to attack the Arabic without warning and with out saving the lives of those on board unless the ship attempted to escape or offered resistance. “He was forced, however, to con: clude from the attendant circum: stances that the Arabic p!anned a vio: lent attack on the submarine, “This conclusion is all the more ob- vious, as he had been fired upon at a great distance in the Irish sea on Aug. 14—that is a few days before— by a large passenger steamer appar ently belonging to the British royal mail steam packet compauy which he ‘had neither attacked nor stopped. “The German government most deeply regrets that lives were lost through the action of the commander. {t particularly expresses this regret to the government of the United States, on account of the death of American citizens. “The German government is unable, however, to acknowledge any obliga: ton to great indemnity in the matter, even if the commander should have been mistaken as to the aggressive in- tentions of the Arabic. “If it should prove to be the case that it is impossible for the German and American governments to reach a harmonious opinion on this point the German government would be pre- pared to submit the difference of opin- ion, as being a question of interna- tional law, to The Hague Tribunal for arbitration, pursuant to Article 38 of The Hague Convention, for the pacific settlement of international disputes. “In so doing it assumes that as a matter of course the arbitral decision shall not be admitted to have the im- portance of a general decision on the permissibility or the converse under international law of German subma rine warfare.” eee eee ees ; WHEAT NEAR BILLION MARK.

As a precaution for self-protection, these same merchants now are focusing their attention upon the seats of governments in the nations that are not involved in the conflict. In their search they look to Washington, the capital of the foremost neutral country, as the logical place from which to dispense the code that is to govern the fashions during the years to come. Restrictions in the matter of passports have served to turn back buyers from America who have annually made pilgrimages to Paris. The result is that there is a more restricted supply of foreign fashionable goods here at present than at any other time, when the fall fashions are supposed to be attracting the attention of houses that cater to the elite. While there is no formal action by which the Capital of Fashion is trans- ferred from city to city or nation to nation, a favorable answer from the hitherto dictators is all that is considered necessary for Washington to assume the position in the van.

He showed the greatest delight one day when the “movie man” arrived to chronicle his funny little antics. At first, in true savage fashion, he tried to intimidate his audience, but when he was told it was quite the proper thing for well-bred Americans to be exploited in the “movies” he growled his approbation and blinked and purred and somersaulted until the camera film was exhausted, Beauty was captured in the wilds of Brazil before his eyer were open and was sent to Mrs. Wilson by a friend. Money Destroyed at Rate of $5,000,000 a Day Ree. paper money with a nominal value of $1,541,131,111 in 377,364, 188 pieces was destroyed by the treasury department during the fiscal year ended June 30. Officials estimate the notes weighed 590 tona and that of congress of March 17, 1862, authorizing the secretary to prescribe the method of destroying notes unfit for circulation. Although changes in the treasury department's business have resulted in modification of practically every procedure established by the original regulations, Secretary Chase's order had never been abrogated or formally revised. There have been many changes in practice, however, during the intervening years, and many ot them are not matters of record. By Secretary McAdoo's orders these changes are now compiled and brought up to date, with additional modifications as safeguards to meet the conditions of the present day, In Secretary Chase's time Paper money and securities were destroyed by burning. Experience showed that this was not the safest plan in connec- tion with the destruction of distinctive paper, because it is dificult to burn bundles of money, and undestroyed pieces may escape through the chimney. For this reason the act of June 23, 1874, authorized the destruction by maceration. The destruction of these once valuable bits of paper has always been witnessed by joint committees. This policy is continued in Secretary Mc- Adoo's order.

THE ROSE Beautiful Example of Double White Killarney Roses. PRESENT PLANS FOR FUTURE BEAUTY BY EVA RYMAN-GAILLARD. We who grow plants in our rooms do so for the beauty of their foliage, flowers, or both, and get pleasure from them to just the degree that we can bring them to their utmost perfection. To attain this (with plants of any kind) one must know their characteristics and requirements and consider whether available conditions in the home are adapted to the plants desired. If a plant standing in the open beds, or in sunny, southern windows, is making a grand showing of flowers, or brilliantly-colored foliage, do not get one like it expecting the same results unless it can have similar conditions. The same results cannot be secured if the plant is put into a shaded or northern window. On the other hand, primulas and other plants that produce perfect flowers in cool, semishaded rooms, will not prove satisfactory in a place adapted to those needing more tropical conditions. The plant-lover who expects to have all sorts of plants grow and bloom in the same window will certainly be found wondering why some of them do not come up to expectation. Even the texture of the foliage needs to be taken into consideration, for rough-leaved plants that are injured by frequent washings have no chance to develop beautiful foliage in a room where furniture needs dusting every day. Space is another factor that makes for satisfactory window gardening, for certainly half a dozen plants developed to perfect form and good size are vastly more beautiful than twice that number of deformed specimens crowded into the space. The question as to whether plants should be turned or not is frequently asked, and some people say: "Oh, don't turn them, they will not bloom," and so on. After years of working among plants I hold this opinion on the subject: Plants grown solely for beauty as seen from the outside will serve the purpose better if never turned, leaving foliage and flowers drawn toward the glass, but ordinarily they are grown for the adornment of the room and the enjoyment of those inside, and should be turned often enough to keep them symmetrical in shape, for a lop-sided plant showing all its stalks (to those in the room), is not very ornamental. Very often plants are bedded out for the summer and then potted for the winter garden window, and almost as often the potting is delayed until the plants must be taken in or frozen; and the result is a lot of plants that need a good share of the winter in which to recuperate. August is none too early to decide which plants shall be taken into the window garden, and their treatment from the time of the decision should be much as will fit them to make a fine display during the winter, rather than get the finest present showing. If they are growing where crowded, sacrifice a few branches from the surrounding plants in order to give them space for shapely development, then pinch out the ends of the branches on the selected plants to force the formation of lateral branches. These lateral branches furnish the blooming points on geraniums and most flowering plants, and the more of them that can be forced to start, the more flowers one has during the winter. Do not select plants that have bloomed profusely during the summer, for it is against nature to expect them to keep it up during the winter. Above all, after deciding which plants shall be potted for the winter display, keep all the buds pinched out. Do not let a single blossom develop until the plants are established in their winter quarters. Do not leave plants in their beds until forced by cold weather to take them in. Plan to pot them while the weather will permit having the house open, making the change a gradual one, for plants lifted and taken at once into closed, fire-heated rooms must show the effects of the treatment and will need weeks and weeks in which to regain their beauty. Another thing to be considered is this: Plants grpwing in the open ground make a root-growth that very often goes far beyond the limits of an ordinary pot or tub. To crowd these roots into a pot too small for them is to bruise them and cause decay. The better way, by far, is to cut down all around the plants with a sharp knife or spade, ten days or two weeks before the plants are to be potted. The sharp, clean cut heals quickly, and if the soil is well watered (soaked) before attempting to lift the plant, one gets a complete ball of sound roots, well-covered with soil that goes into winter quarters with very little evidence of having been disturbed. Each of these plants taken separately will seem like a little thing, but each has a decided bearing on the beauty of the midwinter floral display, and for that reason each is, in reality, an important point. SOME TIMELY HINTS Water the sweet peas lavishly about the roots and be generous with the blooms. Allow no seed pods if you want flowers. Cut everlasting and grasses as soon as the flowers are fully opened, tie in bunches, hang head down, and dry in the shade, for winter bouquets. Fasten aahlias, and other brittle-stalked tall growers to some support, to protect from storms of wind. Fine, well-rotted manure is a good mulch for tea roses. Prune by cutting the blossoms lavishly with long stems, in order to induce vigorous blooming branches. M.E.PASTORS' CHARGES COLORADO CONFERENCE GIVES OUT ANNUAL ASSIGNMENTS. Forsyth, Scott, Mayo, Hollenbeck and Lace Designated as District Superintendents. Western Newspaper Union News Service Denver.—With the appointment of superintendents and ministers for the five Methodist ministerial districts of the state of Colorado and the determination of plans for raising the $130,000 endowment fund for the Denver university, the fifty-third annual Colorado conference of the Methodist Episcopal church adjourned. Definite plans for raising $130,000 necessary to complete the $500,000 endowment fund for the Denver university, which must be completed within the next sixty days, were agreed upon by the conference committee. The sum is to be divided between the five state districts, each district being responsible for a fifth of the amount or $26,000. Each minister is to make a daily report to his superintendent and the superintendent is to report daily to the Rev. David Forsyth the results of the campaign. The money is to be raised by subscription. The conference decided to increase the fund for the veteran and retired preachers to $11,000. The treasurer's report of the cash collected from the church for the different benevolences was read as follows: Missions, $16,084; Freedman's aid, $1,845; education, $18,594; Sunday schools, $1,565; conference claimants, $1,407; Woman's Foreign Missionary society, $7,248; Woman's Home Missionary society, $10,470; American Bible society, $613; total for benevolent purposes, $80,963. Laymen admitted on trial are Stanley Curtis, J. L. Morgan, Claud B. Martin and Carl D. Basham. The Rev. Dr. Frank R. Hollenbeck, pastor of Grace M. E. church, was appointed district superintendent of the Greeley district to succeed A. L. Chase, appointed pastor of the Canon City Methodist church. The Rev. S. G. Dorey, formerly of Fifth Avenue Methodist church, Denver, was appointed by Bishop Francis McConnell, as conference evangelist, with residence in Denver. The Rev. Mr. Dorey will spend much of his time in traveling about the state promoting the evangelistic work of the church. The conference appointments were announced as follows. D. D.

Estes Park, Colo. — The Rocky Mountain National park was dedicated to the people of all the world for all time Sept. 4. Leaders in the life of the nation, the state of Colorado and the city of Denver stood with bared heads in the fine drizzle of a picturesque mountain shower as the opening exercises were observed which proclaimed this vast natural scenic wonderland open to all. And as Enos A. Mills, pathfinder, naturalist and father of the movement to keep the land of Colorado magic inviolate for generations to come had told his part in the great work in modest manner, the clouds gathered over the distant peaks. A roll of thunder was heard and the rain came upon the gathering. S. T. Mather, assistant to Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, then told his plans for the future of the park in clear-cut manner that befitted the business man. As he spoke PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. I wish sincerely that my duties left me free to attend the formal opening of the Rocky Mountain National Park on September 4th, but as it is I can only send you this message to express my deep interest and to convey my warmest congratulations on the completion of a project in which the country has been so much interested.

Carlson ascended the impromptu rostrum beneath a swaying pine tree and as he spoke to the gathering the clouds became denser and the shower increased in violence as the mountain tops that hedged Horseshoe park, where the ceremony was held, disappeared from view. But in a moment, and just as Governor Carlson concluded and before the applause had died away, the clouds parted as if by the action of some mighty, unseen hand, and the sun of Colorado broke forth in raintinged splendor from across the newly laid snow on Longs peak and made a new fairyland of the dazzling land of bewilderment.

He now has ripe berries, berries half ripe and plenty of blossoms, which bid fair to bring forth abundant berries in October. In several parts of the valley the second crop of berries for the year is being harvested and a fair yield is being experienced, the berries being really of a better quality than earlier in the summer. 5 Points Cafe UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT.

A Lovely Negligee of Yellow Crepe THE FASHION OF THE TIME The night clothes of little lads and maids, when made for other seasons than winter, do not differ much from those worn by their elders. For little girls, nainsook and batiste and the light muslins are used for the gowns and narrow lingerie laces for trimming. The trimming is simpler, that is, not so much lace is used, and the methods of applying it are less intricate. With the return of fancy needlework to fashion in the belongings of grown people, it is sure to appear on children's clothes, where it seems more appropriate than any other sort of trimming. The small and dainty patterns in laces are chosen when laces are used. The little empire gown shown in the picture has a body of narrow lace and fine embroidery. It is sleeveless, with a ruffle of wider val lace finishing the arm eyes. This is a pattern for summer wear and few sleeveless gowns are made for little girls. For between seasons, little models are made with high neck and long sleeves, finished with fancy needlework and A Lovely Negligee Some of the most beautiful tones of yellow are even more delicious in crepe, it seems, than in any other material. The adorable negligible pictured here, has been made up in all the flowerlike colors: rose, blue, lavender, pink and in pale green, and it is exquisite in all of them, but in light and glowing yellow it is simply a glorious garment. It is combined with a net-top lace in deep cream color and is very simply cut. Anyone with any knowledge of sewing can undertake to make so simple a pattern. The bodice portion is cut in kimono fashion with sleeves and body in one piece. It is gathered to a narrow soft belting at the waist line. The long plain skirt portion, with hemmed opening down the front, is straight and is also gathered to the belt. The bottom is finished with a three-inch hem. When the body and skirt have been made and joined at the belt the lace is to be set on. Choose an open mesh pattern and one having a pretty finish at its top edge. The lace should be ten to twelve inches wide, or it may be wider. Gather a ruffle of the lace to be set about the waist line. Turn the small tucks. These are to be replace $d$ as the cold weather comes on, by gowns of canton flannel, made long. The small boy's pajamas hardly need description. They are made of light cotton materials. The pants are fastened at the waist with a tape which is run through a hem in the top. They are as plain as can be and so is the coat. This is usually bound with braid and provided with a pocket at one side. The same pattern is used for the canton flannel pajamas used in cold weather. For the comfort of little ones who sleep in cold rooms and are liable to kick their feet from under cover, bed shoes of canton flannel or of eiderdown are recommended. They are easily made and easily laundered and they are most comforting. There are numbers of patterns for little nightdresses—the simplest ones are the best. For the little boy, pajamas, like those shown in the picture, cannot be improved upon. There is no reason to doubt the sincerity of a woman who voluntarily wears a Salvation army bonnet. of Yellow Crepe top edge of the lace down about an inch and a half, to form a standing ruffle. When this flounce has been set about the waist, small chiffon roses in light pink, blue and yellow with pale green chiffon leaves, are to be set over it in a row, with one color following another. These roses are important and the negligee would lose character without them. A width of three or four inches is cut from the top of a length of lace to form the ruffle for the neck and front of the body. The remainder of this length will make the ruffles that are set on to the ends of the sleeves. The narrow, standing ruffle makes a heading and a single chiffon rose in pink, with its little, pale green leaves, is set at the top of each ruffle against the net. The negligee is worn with a cap to match. It has a small lace plaque at the center of the crown. A puff of crepe is gathered to this and edged with lace. It is drawn up about the face on an elastic band. A few very small chiffon roses are set with bows of narrow satin ribbon in the flounce of lace that falls about the face. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
