PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Lynching And Illiteracy VOL. XX11. Lynchin The State of Georgia needs a heavy inoculation of civilization. The chief virus in that inoculation is education and the broadening of viewpoint that comes with it. For a more educated and a more tolerant point of view would enable Georgians in General to form a public opinion which would preclude lynching. In an educated community, when justice goes astray the leading citizens get to gether peaceably to work for a reform in the law. Whatever success they achieve is progress in civilization. In an uneducated community, when the law goes astray the leading citizens seize their guns and take the law violently into their own hands. The success of their efforts is a measure of progress towards barbarism. In Georgia the humiliating climax to the Frank lynching came in the shape of an Atlanta pastor's approval of the murder from the pulpit. A city in which a preacher can do that has at least some very rotten spots in its civilization. And to a certain extent Georgia shows an appreciation of its deficiencies. Wherever you find a community that cannot stand criticism you have found a community that is not quite at ease with itself. Such extreme touchiness as the people of Georgia showed over other people's interest in the Frank case is not a sign of confidence, strength, or wisdom. There will be Georgians who will resent the imputation that the state is backward educationally. Let them go to the nearest library and look up the statistics, and find out the facts about the circulation of all kinds of reading matter in the state. In these things Georgia is backward and consequently the public opinion of the state is an uninstructed public opinion. This is particularly unfortunate because on this uninstructed public opinion falls the solution of one of the most difficult problems that face the country—the relation of two unequal races in a democracy. It may seem gratuitous to connect the Frank lynching with the Negro problem. But the connection is there. Presumably the first lynchings were the lynchings of Negroes for rape. Then followed lynchings for murder. Then lynchings for poisoning mules, then lynchings of anybody for any thing that particularly incensed the local feelings. In this way the presence of the helpless Negro has pulled down the standards of the white population. It has done it in other ways also. One of the most difficult things in history is for a stronger race to live with a weaker one, for the weaker race is not only a constant hindrance to progress but a constant temptation as well. The theory of a democracy does not allow for large masses of semi-helpless ignorant citizens. The task Georgia is faced with is the building up of a better civilization against somewhat heavy odds. The Frank case is a symptom that the task is still somewhat backward. But the Frank case only throws into high relief the deficiencies of the state's civilization. It is silent on the small army of men who see the situation clearly and who are working day and night for the civilization that follows it.—The World's Work. The Dixon Play At Dr. Reisner's Church (From New York Age.) During a Church Efficiency gathering, held recently at the Grace M. E. Church 131 West 104th street, the Rev. Christian F. Reisner, pastor of the vicious Dixon moving picture, "The Birth of a Nation," was shown. Special arrangements had been made with the managers, and mention in the daily papers stated that "before a vast audience of Methodist ministers from all over the State, the picture was shown in every detail as at the Liberty Theatre, with orchestral accompaniment." It was also stated that the "church performance was arranged by the Rev. C. F. Reisner" The fact that this photo play, which has been condemned by many as being most inimical to the interests of the Negro race, was presented in a church of the Methodist Episcopal denomination, called forth the following strong letter of denunciation from the Rev. Wm. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, a member of the same denomination: DR. BROOKS' LETTER. To the Editor The Age: "The Birth of a Nation," a travesty on history; a breeder of racial anti-party; magnifying the faults of one race while glorifying the lawlessness of the other; peculiarly dangerous because its insidious poison is hidden in scenic beauty—outlawed in some states, condemned in some others—at last creeps out of the theater, where it never should have been, into the Church of God to furnish entertainment for the saints of the Most High. This play with its objectionable fea- DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY.

We have been taught that Methodism was raised up definitely to spread scriptural holiness throughout the land. Has she finished her task and is now celebrating it with her brass band and theatrical performances? In spite of this unholy marriage of theater and church, the race so grievously misrepresented will live and be strong enough to shed tears at the grave of both of the contracting parties, when God shall say, Dust to Dust, and Ashes to Ashes. Yours, WILLIAM H. BROOKS, Pastor St. Mark's Episcopal Church. DR. REISNER'S EXPLANATION. A representative of The Age called on the Rev. Mr. Reisner, and requested a statement from him concerning the motive behind the presentation of the play in his church. After declaring that for many years he had been a friend and had worked in the interests of the Negro, Dr. Reisner submitted the following statement setting forth the conditions under which the picture was presented in his church. He declined to enter into any discussion of the merits of the play other than from the technical standpoint of the development of moving pictures, but declared that he did not believe the production of the picture could injure the Negro race, because of the solid progress and advancement which that race has accomplished. To the Editor of The Age: One of your staff, in a very gentlemanly way, requested me to xplain how we happened to give the motion picture, "The Birth of a Nation," in Grace Church. I am glad to answer his request because I have always been a friend of the Negro. My father went through the Kansas contest and many times came near death because of his strong anti-slavery views and friendship for the Negro. For nineteen years I have preached in their defense and have raised money for institutions dedicated to their uplift. Some of the best friends I have anywhere are members of the African race. I am surprised that anyone who knew me would imagine that the picture would be shown if I believed it would injure a race which has made more progress with more hindrances than any which history has recorded. A committee of the New York conference arranged a Church Efficiency gathering to be held at Grace Church. The executive committee determined to show the delegates a notable motion picture. It was found that the most remarkable one ever made could be secured. The question of its offensiveness or acceptability did not enter into the matter. If it were necessary I would be glad to state my own convictions about the picture, but that is not necessary in this place. It was not brought here by me, but by the committee and wholly with the purpose of showing what marevulous productions are now possible through motion pictures. My past record is full proof of my attitude towards the Negro race. I beg to remain William E. Buck of Galveston, Tex., a colored representative of the American National Insurance Company, has been awarded a free trip to the Panama-Pacific Exposition for writing the most insurance in his district. FRENCH LEADER HONORS NEGRO FOR HEORIC ACT Paris, Oct. 10.—The first and only trooper of the Turkos, or French black troops from Senegal and Algeria, to receive the Legion of Honor from the French government is a thick set, coal-black, middle-aged infantryman who went through one of the queer experiences of the war. While operations were active at the front a short time ago, it was determined to fall back from a given point, and this Turko was given the small steel safe containing 50,000 francs in government funds to carry back to the new position. He was given a donkey and started off with the safe and treasure. Suddenly, however, all the plans of removal were interrupted by a German raid, which swept the Turkos and all other troops, with their horses and supplies, into the utmost confusion. Many were killed and the whole force was badly scattered. It was taken for granted that the Turko with the safe and treasure was certainly lost, as even those not burdened with heavy loads had been swept away in the impetuous raid. Some days later the French outposts were astonished to have the Turko, with the safe on his back, trudge into camp. His donkey had been killed, and for three days he had been inside the German lines carrying a steel safe on his back. He never let go the safe. When the Turko lines were swept into confusion by the machine gun fire, he first lost his donkey and then with his safe crept under some bushes. The German lines rushed past his hiding place and he was left behind the German lines. He kept concealed during the day and at night, with the safe on his back, picked his way forward through the German rear guard to some new hiding place. This was kept up until at last he trudged into the French camp and laid down the safe and treasure before the astonished French colonel. They gave him the Legion of Honor, and the whole regiment was drawn up as he received it from the representative of the government, who gave the acolade, or kiss of honor, on his coal-black face.

COLORADO AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The most historic exhibition ever opened for the inspection of the public in many ways was the Lincoln Jubilee Exposition of Half a Century of Negro freedom, which was held in Chicago a short time ago, writes Bishop Samuel Fallows of the Reformed Episcopal church.

Governor Dunne and the Illinois legislature made it possible for us to get state financial assistance to the amount of $50,000, while the citizens of Chicago donated $25,000 more. The exposition demonstrated what the Negro has accomplished in his 50 years of freedom. It was divided into 12 departments, as follows: Education, religion, industry, social progress, music, sociology, military, liberal arts, professional, fraternal, athletics and miscellaneous. Out of the mass of statistics regarding the Negro prepared by the commission the following are interesting: 1863 1915.

Liberia sent an exhibit, and appointed Professor Starr of the University of Chicago as its official commissioner. Haiti also sent an exhibit. From all the states where Negroes dwell, from 400 schools and colleges—especially the industrial and agricultural colleges—from state departments and from the national government we had exhibits which formed the greatest collection of its kind ever made. The United States patent office sent 1,000 of the devices patented by Negroes. From the library of congress there were 400 books written by Negro authors. We had Charles F. Gunther's Lincoln collection, the most complete of its kind, including the Lovejoy press, which was thrown into the river in Alton, ill., by an angry mob. This press was in operation. "Why does society prefer the Negro musician?" The question was recently asked by one of your correspondents. If the Negro musician enjoys any preference at all, he does not enjoy it solely because of his color. His color is a handicap, and wherever he achieves success he does so in the face of doubly severe competition. In certain branches of his occupation the Negro musician has been successful: In furnishing entertainment at dinner parties, receptions and other social functions similar in character, and in furnishing dance music. For work of the former kind his services have always been in demand, because of his --- Health and prosperity threaten to make us a nation of self-seekers. The exaltation of personal ease and comfort menaces our permanent wellbeing. In military service every abledied young man subordinates his personal interests to the welfare of his nation; it is an act of faith by which he recognizes that the enduring life of his people, with the spiritual values it treasures, is of more importance than his own personal happiness, and that one of the greatest sacrifices he can render by his life is to promote the welfare of his nation. Likewise every woman who is willing to forego personal pleasure and comfort, and incur the risk and effort of rearing offspring, subordinates her own personal interest to her nation and her race. America does not want a Negro army, first, because it would be unfair to ask of any one race any more than its just proportion of service. Then, the white men of American cannot afford to allow the benefits of universal service to slip from them. Physical strength, alertness of body, ability to engage with others in group State Senator Helen Ring Robinson of Colorado brought suit against the editor of a New Jersey newspaper because he published a statement in regard to certain legislation, which, she says, would make it appear that she countenanced vicious and immoral legislation. The Turkish mother loads her child with amulets as soon as it is born, and a small bit of mud, steeped in hot water, prepared by the previous charms, is stuck on its forehead. unfailing good nature, his genial, kindly humor and his versatility. Until recently those who engaged in this work were for the most part untrained musicians who relied on their natural talents. In the last few years, however, a new type of Negro musician has appeared in response to the demand for dance music of which the distinguishing characteristic is an eccentric tempo. Such music usually takes the form of a highly syncopated melody, which in the early period of its development was known as "ragtime" music. Since the dance is born of music, it is quite apparent that the modern dance is a creature of the syncopated melody. Thus a new field has been opened to Negro musicians. The Negro's success is due to the following facts: He is a natural musician and throws himself into the spirit of his work with spontaneous enthusiasm; so that the music rendered by a Negro orchestra rarely has the mechanical quality which is fatal to dancing. He has a superior sense of rhythm, peculiarly adapting him for dance music. The art of playing the modern syncopated music is to him a natural gift. He excels in the use of the guitar; banjo and mandolin, instruments which are now being generally adopted by orchestras playing dance music to obtain the "thrum-thrum" effect and the eccentric accentuated beat so desirable in dance music; and he was the first to discover the availability of these instruments for such purpose. In addition to his natural talent in the above respects the modern Negro musician is well trained in his art. He reads readily, memorizes marvelously well, interprets naturally, and not only understands the principles of technique in the use of his instruments, but is remarkably skillful in execution, as is to be expected when one considers that the Negro possesses a rare facility for arts requiring physical skill. Perhaps it is fair to say that the Negro has contributed to American music whatever distinctive quality it possesses. Certainly he is the originator of the highly syncopated melody so much in favor today. Some years ago in Cole & Johnson's show, of which I was musical director, there was a number containing a peculiarly syncopated passage which not a single white orchestra ever succeeded in playing correctly, while colored orchestras played it without effort, unconscious of its intricacies. Such preference as the Negro musician enjoys is therefore due to efficiency which is the result of a natural inheritance and to his application to the serious study of his music. Many of the members of those orchestras whose success your correspondent so much deplores are arrangers and composers—James Reese Europe, in the New York Sun. The stings of bees which attacked him on the arm and wrist near his pulse recently rendered a Burlington line freight conductor unconscious. The venom from these little insects partially paralyzed the man's heart. He is expected to recover. In England special colleges for women have been established at Cambridge and Oxford, affording the same instructions and conferring equivalent degrees to those given at the university itself. effort are developed. Courage, and the moral qualities of discipline and self-control, which are valuable in the ordinary walks of life, are enhanced by military training. Compulsory and universal service, drawing upon the sons of the rich and poor alike, from all parts of the country, without reference to race, color or creed, for our national defense, is in keeping with the advanced social ideal of our time.—New York Times.

Inventory of Estate Shows That All Securities and Stock Are Worth Ful Face Value. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—A record for the settlement of estates was made by Leslie Hubbard, state tax inheritance collector, when $7,777.31 was paid to the state by the heirs of the late Otto Sauer. Sauer's estate was valued at $408,124.12, and was remarkable because of the fact that in the entire estate there was found no worthless stocks, bonds or paper, or were any of the stocks and bonds of the estate worth less than par. During the last week an inheritance tax of $1,836.36 was collected on the estate of Archibald McIntyre of Lincoln county. This estate was valued at $104,096.65. Including the tax from the Sauer and McIntyre estates a total of $11,079.87 was collected by the state tax inheritance department during the past week. This amount was collected from the following estates, in addition to the Sauer and McIntyre: | ESTATE | Amount | Tax | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | W. R. Fisher | $19,240.00 | $192.24 | | Emma Hinchinan | 17,189.00 | 171.89 | | Mary Graham | 2,022.69 | 26.37 | | Levi Tombough | 28,240.80 | 288.33 | | Mary Simmons | 1,626.18 | 53.32 | | M. Ermina Forbes | 79,241.80 | 761.24 | Accident Claim Temporarily Settled. Denver.—The practical good which can be accomplished by the State Industrial Commission, its members declare, is shown by a settlement made Gregorio Perez, employed at the Berwind mine of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, was injured on the body and arm by falling slate. It was at first thought the accident was not serious. Later paralysis developed and the agreement under the regulation of the industrial commission is that the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company shall pay the man $$ a week until it develops whether or not the injury and paralysis will be permanent, or until some final settlement is made satisfactory to the industrial commission. Victim's Widow May Save Bulger Denver.—Mrs., Lloyd F. Nicodemus, wife of the Savoy hotel proprietor, who was shot down by "Colonel" James E. Bulger, appealed to Governor Carlson to save her husband's murderer from the gallows, according to a statement made by an executive at the statehouse. Md. Nicodemus made her appeal by telegraph from California, where she is now visiting according to the statement. Following the announcement of the telegraph from Mrs. Nicodemus, a letter was read from Judge John A. Perry, who presided at the trial of Bulger, stating that if he had had the discretion as a judge to reduce the penalty from death to life imprisonment he would have done so. State Gets $13,237 on Jackson Estate Denver—Judge Rothgerber of the County Court rendered his final decision and signed the decree in the fight over the state inheritance tax in the matter of the estate of the late Anna W. Jacobson. Judge Rothgerber allowed the state $13,237.52 inheritance tax. He held that the Jacobson building was worth $350,000 instead of $400,000, as contended by the State Inheritance Department. Judge Rothgerber held that the Edelweiss property was worth $115,000, and that the personality belonging to the estates was worth $32,227.39, or a total of $497,227.39. Rail Service Ordered to Breckenridge, Denver.—The State Public Utilities Commission renewed its order compelling the Colorado & Southern railroad to maintain a passenger and freight service to Breckenridge and Como. The renewal of the order was made following a stipulation between attorneys for the Breckenridge Chamber of Commerce and the railroad. The Colorado & Southern must maintain a freight service three days a week and a passenger service every day of the week except Sunday between Denver and Leadville. State Cannot Fix Taxicab Rates. Denver.—The jurisdiction of the State Public Utilities Commission does not extend to any public utilities not mentioned expressly or by implication to the act creating the commission, according to an opinion from Attorney General Farrar. The opinion has been written in response to a request from the commissioners inquiring as to their jurisdiction over automobile livery companies. Farrar holds that unless such a company compete with a street railway or railroad that it is not a common carrier and therefore not subject to regulation as a public utility. Autos Increase 10.835 in a Year. Denver.—According to the secretary of state's office there were 17,775 automobiles in Colorado last year. Up to and including Oct. 18, of this year there has been licenses to the number of 28,610 issued. This shows an increase of 10,835 machines in the state in 1915 over those of 1914. Last year the state received from the automobile license tax $80,047. Up to Oct. 18 of this year there had been paid to the secretary of state for automobile licenses $110,386.80, or an increase thus far of over $30,000. YEGGS TIE CREW AND LOOT TRAIN OUTLAWS POST GUARDS ON TRACK DURING ROBBERY TO AVOID WRECKS. GET $9,000 FROM SAFES M. K. & T. HELD TWO HOURS WHILE BANDITS SEARCH EXPRESS FOR VALUABLES. Oklahoma City, Okla.—A band of teu robbers held up Missouri, Kansas & Texas passenger train No. 9, southbound, from Chicago to San Antonio, near Onapa about 2 a. m. Wednesday, tied up the crew with ropes, placed a guard over the passengers and looted three express cars. They held the train two hours and went about their work with military precision. They sent back a detachment which stopped a freight train coming up behind and placed the freight crew under guard to prevent interference. Express officials refused to tell the amount of loot taken by the robbers, who escaped into the woods and marshes in the vicinity of Onapa and were pursued by peace officers of a dozen counties and hundreds of citizens organized into posses. The train robbed often carried large amounts of money and securities. It is believed, according to late reports, that the bandits escaped with $9,000. One report from McAlester declared the robbers obtained $30,000 which was being sent to the South for the cotton marketing season. It is reported that the robbers secured a quantity of jewelry from the safe in addition to money. SERBS FACE DISASTER Teutons and Bulgarians Effect Junction in Serbia and Kaiser Holds the Road to Constantinople. Berlin, Oct. 28.—Direct connection between the Austro-German forces in Serbia and the Bulgarian army of Gen. Boyadjieff has been established on the Danube river to the east of Brza Palanka, according to the official announcement given out by the German army headquarters staff. The junction was made in the extreme northeastern corner of Serbia. The Serbian town of Brza Palanka, to the east of which the invading armies joined hands, is on the Serbo-Rumanian frontier about fifteen miles south and east of the Austro-Hungarian border. The main advance of the Austro-German forces is along the Morava valley where runs the railroad line through Nish east to Sofia and thence on to Constantin ople. German troops under Field Marsha' von Hindenburg have penetrated Russian positions over a front o more than a mile in the fighting in the Dvinsk region, the war office anounced. Dispatches from Petrograd say British submarines have sunk four more German steamers in the Baltic. This announcement is made in the Russian official statement. After the French victory at Krivolak, the Serbians, according to an Athens report, were able to reoccupy Veles, an important railway and road junction just south of Uskup. It was rumored in London that Winston Churchill is about to resign from the Cabinet. THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS. New York, Pennsylvania and Massa chusets Vote on Suffrage.

With the arrival of Thomas Jefferson Bell, experienced in Y. M. C. A. work for fourteen years as executive secretary of the Colored Men's Branch, New York, to be our secretary, we trust new life and vigor will be estab- lished and the dormant position that unfortunately our institution fell into may be wiped out for all time. As our sympathy goes practically with such organizations (having a full realization of their intent and purpose), we take this opportunity of impress- ing the committee of management that to give this gentleman a fair start, @ thorough idea of conditions in the West should be given him, so that in his study of the new field in which he labors he may not be misled. It is a well-known fact that when it comes to a call for immediate action, rallying at point of time, spur-of-the-moment enthusiasm, gilt-edged promises, we merit the gold medal prize, but duration of action is a lesson yet to be learned. Not so long ago when Mr, Moreland, the international secretary, filled us with ideas for work that would today be second to none and we appeared to have been carried to the skies with our resolutions and promises, we were given a’secretary. We know what he accomplished, and just as we were thinking of him as a failure, we reviewed the surrounding circumstances and dis: covered he became a victim, as he was inexperienced in western life and action and those with whom he associated forgot to give him the points essentially necessary to start with, If we understand the theme of a Y. M. ©. A, it is not only the congregation of men or women for a little religious and social work but a broader and larger sphere of usefulness, in that it improves the community by awaking the people to a sense of bretherly love, eliminating all selfishness and narrowness and exerting itself in such a manner as to have a far-reaching influence on the mind of humanity in making us do the best we can for our uplift and the betterment of the world. Seeing, therefore, how expansive the organization is and the universal use- fulness it stands for, every idea, every suggestion of how we move and act in the West should be given this leader, so that he may be garrisoned with the qualities of patience, endurance and perseverance in his important posi- tion us secretary. The Colorado Statesman, in lending a help to the per- petuity and stability of this institution, promises to do all that lies in its power to promote its interests, and working in conjunction with the com- mittee of management, the secretary and others, hope to see a Y. M, C. A. that not only Denver or Colorado but this great land of ours will be proud of. Let us rally to the standard-bearer therefore, redeeming our pledges, thereby making our rooms fit for occupation, starting our work with a zeal hitherto unknown, with the dauntless action of the Spartan of old to be always active in a cause which will be advantageous to us and our posterity and the improvement and development of the human family, OXOXOXOXTOXOXOXOXSXOXOXOXSX: THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, TWENTY-FOURTH AVENUE AND OGDEN STREET.

Virtually all young men and women haye some hours from work which need not be devoted to exercise and sleep, two things which ought never to be overlooked or neglected. ‘These unoceupied hours are of priceless worth, if they are wisely used. ‘They determine the value of the working hours, because they éducate a man to use and enjoy that which the working hours bring him, for a man’s ability to enjoy success depends on his intelligence, his tastes and the variety of his interests. Many of the most successful business men have so many interests outside of their business that they can always give themselves the rest or a change of occupation and can get pleasure and profit out of any form of leisure. They understand that, in order to use wealth with judgment and to get satisfaction and happiness out of it, a man must grow rich in mind as fast as he grows rich in pocket. It is the use of leisure hours that equips a man to use wisely what the working hours bring him. ‘The working hours develop his character, if his principles are good, while they increase his fortune. But they do not give him broad views of life, knowledge and love of the best things. These are the gifts and fruits of the leisure hours, for the leisure hours embrace a man’s educational opportunities. No man who has a few hours each week which can be used as he pleases should remain uneducated. Edneation is not a matter of schools, colleges and universities. ‘These are valuable instruments and aids to education, but they are not so essen- tial that the man who cannot command their privileges need remain Pnariacateds enough sleep and frequent bathing, which promotes purity of mind. In sufficient sleep affects the nerves, the temper, the digestion, the ment: quickness and even the morals of children, ‘The child who gets enoug sleep is the one who grows normally and well, who eats properly and wh is not peevish and irritable. Many of the little, whining, nervous chil dren are simply suffering from lack of sleep. So many mothers notice such a difference in the behavior of childre when they haye started to school and are at a loss to understand th reason, It is because the daily nap has been given up. Try giving the schoolchildren an early, nourishing and casil digested supper. ‘They should retire early and sleep in a well-ventilate bedroom and let them have ten or eleven full hours of slumber and the will wake up bright, healthy and good. Clean skin and clean clothes improve not only the physical but als the moral condition of children. i living in Kentucky the late Proctor Knott said on one occasion that t! fashion of wearing beards was the result of the Mexican war. explained that when the boys went into that war they were clean-shave for always at home there was a barber to shave them. In Mexico, hov ever, it was different, and the soldiers had to let their beards grow. Whe the war was over they started the style of having the beard trimmed, ar thus the practice came into general use. The first governor of Kentucky to wear a beard was Lazarus V Powell, who was goyernor from 1851 to 1855, and the first president | be so adorned was Abraham Lincoln, a Kentuckian by birth. Gran Hayes, Garfield and Harrison, who followed, all wore beards, and Arth wore side whiskers. Reports from the trenches and the war fronts are that the soldie haven’t much time to shave, and when the struggle is over we may expe whiskers to come into fashion again in Europe, and it will not be lor after that, I presume, until the American catches the habit. z country and if I could not play ragtime or popular music I would have had a hard time finding a position.

What is worse for children than seeing women dressed as ‘they are on the street? ‘The sights children see in the city parts are worse than any popular song.

Mr. Bell has accepted a call to the secretaryship of the Colored Department of the Young Men's Christian Association in this city, and will begin active service next Monday morning. We feel safe in saying that the members of the Committee of Management of the department and all elements of our people will join heartily with Mr. Bell, whose long connection with Y. M. C.

Several foreigners are taking advantage of their opportunity to gain an English education, but I am sorry to state that I saw but very few Negroes in attendance, and our men and women should do so more generally than they do.

To the Editor:— Having had at least twenty inquiries last Saturday and Sunday about the fair held Oct. 15th and 16th at Dearfield, and why no mention was made of it in your issue of last Saturday, allow me to ask you a few questions for the edification of all concerned. Has it not been your custom to speak continuously upon race pride? The uplift of the Negro Race? The betterment of the Negro in America? The patronizing of Colored enterprises? Then may I ask you, as I have been continuously asked, why no mention of the fair was given in your paper last Saturday? Yet, when ever a prize fight, a dance, or some so-called "social what-not" is given there is a great space taken up about the said affair, the costumes worn, etc. Do we call these affairs the uplifting of the Colored race, and the betterment of the Negro in America? No! By no means does this uplift the race. Yet, when a few Negroes, who having colonized a strip of land, and are making good, and are beginning to see their way to prosperity, endeavor to get together to show the citizens of Denver the real road to the betterment of the Negro, and the uplifting of the race, by giving a farm exposition, and securing special rates from the railroad to the said fair, no mention of it in your paper last week and no interest shown by a representative being sent from Denver, to see how the few members of the race are progressing in Dearfield, Colo. To secure better race unity and help one another, let the people stick together as the citizens of Dearfield have, and then we can talk in good truth of race pride, unity, progress and the uplift of the Negro race. The writer of the above letter in his anxiety to get a reply would not wait on us, but answers the questions himself, fearing possibly our reply would be a just and fitting one. It can be easily determined that he thinks an injustice is done him by not mentioning about the Dearfield fair, and so hurt does he feel that he imagines twenty others are with him. At this time we can only inform Harvey Page that if we had his name on our list of subscribers he would surely have read articles in our columns from time to time boosting for Dearfield colony and its colonists, and especially its founder. Reciprocity is the order of the day, which carries with it very successful results, and if men like Page would either individually or collectively help to strengthen or contribute to our foundation being intact we would surely be financially positioned to send our representative to such events and devote a page in giving a graphic description. There are people around and about us who never consider the value of the press until its use is convenient to them, and while we thank Mr. Page for his instructions on how to secure better race unity and help to one another, we must remind him of his creed: "Do as I say, but not as I do." Remember, brother, CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME. SHORTER'S NOTES The first quarterly meeting of the conference year will be held Sunday, Nov. 7. Let each member do his best to pay up. Sunday morning Rev.

E For Those Who Like Embroidery 20c ```markdown ``` A rich but simple coat for the small girl to wear upon occasions that allow her to be dressy is shown in the picture appearing here. It is a pretty pattern, which may be used for the child from four to eleven years old, and it is not difficult for the home dressmaker to manage, a matter which will be appreciated. The coat is made of a light-colored or white moire. The body is plain and cut shorter at the waist in front than in the back. It has long shoulder seams and full coat sleeves. It is lined with a plain soft silk and may be interlined for greater warmth, or worn over a knitted jacket when cold weather demands extra warmth in the clothing. The plain skirt is accordion-plaited and sewed to the body. It is finished For Those Who For those who like wide embroideries some new floundings have been made in which the patterns are fine and pretty and both the material and the work durable. Here is one of titem showing a flouncing with the surface not too much covered with embroidery, and a lacelike but strong border along the scalloped edge. It is woven with a wide beading along the straight edge, set between rows of hemstitching which is made by machinery in the top of the flouncing. Beadings play an essential part in the construction of edgings, flouncings and insertions. Even the least expensive underwear is designed with reference to lingeric ribbons, which add much to its attractiveness. Since the light-weight muslins have come into general use for underwear, many garments are cut on the simplest lines and adjusted to the figure by means of ribbon run through beading. This simplifies both making and launderng. Many of the new flouncings have a dotted surface with a small dainty embroidered pattern along the well-finished scalloped edge. They are in better taste than the large patterns in inferior workmanship. There is a demand, too, for narrow durable laces to be used with the embroideries. Adover patterns with small floral de- --- at the bottom with a two-inch hem put in by hand before the material is plaited. The rolling collar, deep cuffs and wide belt, are covered with a braided pattern in soutache which may match the coal in color or be of a contrary color. The coat fastens with small high buttons of glass. Small crochet buttons would look as well. The pretty hat is a shape covered with light silk plush and having a narrow ribbon band about the crown. A short upstanding fancy ostrich feather, usually in gay light colors, looks as if designed to please the eyes of the little wearer, and is therefore pleasing to everyone else. Fancy shoes finish the details of the toilette and complete her readiness for presentation among other "dressed up" little ones. Like Embroidery signs, and eyelet work scattered over the surface of the fabric are cut into strips and used with narrow torchon or crochet lace for flounceings. They are set on to petticoats, combinations and chemise by narrow headings that carry ribbon purely for its ornamental value. If You Are Too Thin. If you are dreadfully thin, nervous and unhappy, this bath will set you up considerably: Sulphate of potassium, 50 grams; subcarbonate of soda, 100 grams; gelatin, 40 grams Dissolve the gelatin in a quart of boiling water and add it and the salts to a hot bath. If you cannot get the herbs and do not feel that you can spend much money on anything else, put two pounds of common oatmeal or bran in a cheesecloth bag and agitate this in the hot bath water till it looks milky. Either of these simple things will make a bath that clears, whitens and smoothes the skin like magic. Imported Coats. There are some interesting imported coats made of big shawls or steamer rugs, with fringe around the bottom and edging the cape section that falls over the sleeves, or sometimes edging the wide collar instead. FOOD WORTH MUCH STUDY No Other Problem Can More Worthily Engage the Attention of the Mother on the Farm. What could be a woman's problem on the farm that was not a woman's eternal problem everywhere and anywhere? Home economics or the selection, use and preparation of food, clothing, shelter and household management, and how can this problem or any other problem, for that matter, be solved except through study or education? And yet so little has been thought of the home problems that more money is spent year by year for teaching the men how to fatten a steer or pig than to teach a mother how to care for her babe or feed her superior animals—the men of the family, writes M. E. Barrett of the Texas experiment station. Visit any farm you please and you will be shown the fine pigs and calves, goats or sheep, but never a word of the baby or its nursery. I've even seen kindergartens for colts to train them in their stunts, but never a home garten for the children. I believe you will all agree with me that food is the first problem. To load your table down with vegetables and meats is not treating your child as your husband treats his pig baby. He is carefully balancing the rations for the pig for growth, and that of the horse for energy, and that of the cow for milk. Neither is he working all day long on the three meals a day for his animal family. Now here is where education comes in again, to cut down the work of those three meals in quantity and make it count in quality, to take less time and more thought. Try a fireless cooker. Get a bulletin on balanced rations and menus from the university. Then, in the cool of the afternoon, prepare your vegetables and meats for next day; at breakfast bring them to a boil and put in the hot rock and close up the dinner. This will save you from one to two hours on dinner which can be spent in further study on the subject of food values. PICKLED APPLES FOR WINTER Deficacy That Will Be Appreciated in Cold Weather When Most Fruits Are Scarce. Peel, core and quarter some sharp apples, throwing them into a brine made by boiling six ounces of salt for one minute in a quart of water, flavor being improved by a few slices of mild onion, and color by fresh vine or fig leaves. Leave then closely covered for 24 hours, then, having drained and carefully wiped the fruit and put it into an unglazed stoneware jar, pour over it a pickle composed of vinegar brought nearly to the boil, with some allspice, black pepper and either horse-radish or whole ginger, or both in the proportion of one ounce each to the quart, the addition of half a dozen cloves, a couple of bay leaves, a blade of mace and two or three shallots or a little garlic if licked Stand, covered first, with vine or fig leaves, then with a plate, for 24 hours in a corner by the fire, drain off the liquor; reheat it, pour again over the fruit, screened with fresh leaves, and tie down. Meat Souffles Meat of excellent flavor is needed for meat souffles. Chicken and ham are favorites. They should be chopped fine and then pounded smooth. Unless smooth and fine they will not mix with the egg thoroughly. White sauce stirred into yolks, meat added, and nice seasonings, then the whites folded in is the order of procedure. An even tablespoonful of meat is about all one egg will hold up unless an expert handles the material. Creamed Fish With Potato Mash and season potatoes and line bottom and sides of dish about one and one-half inches thick. Make a white sauce, add boiled salt fish broken in pieces and put the whole in the potato nest. Cover top with the potato and put pieces of butter on top. Make two slits with knife and bake until potato is nicely browned. In place of fish cold meat mixed with gravy may be used. Cauliflower Salad. Trim and boil one firm head of fresh cauliflower in fresh water until tender, but do not allow it to boil soft. Remove from the fire and drain. When cold slice thinly then allow to marinate one hour in highly seasoned French dressing. When ready to serve drain and lay on fresh lettuce leaves, sprinkle with finely chopped walnut meats and red pepper. Place a heaping tablespoonful of mayonnaise on top of each portion. Grape Gelatin. Use your favorite jello or gelatin recipe with peeled and seeded California grapes. Use with or without other fruits. Delightful with grapes alone. This is not only a delicious, but a beautiful dish to serve during "grape season." Avoid Vegetable Burning If you will place a pie plate upside down in the kettle you will avoid all burning of the potatoes or other vegetable, if you should happen to forget them and the water boil dry. Your vegetables will be on top of the pie plate and not scorched in the least. New Flavoring: Several tablespoonfuls of peanut butter creamed with the shortening are recommended for giving a novel and delicious flavor to cookies or any dark cake. The world is mine oyster which I with sword will open!-Shakespeare. Dr. C. L. Alsberg in a recent address made the following statement: I could wish that the number of dangerous sources of milk the percentage was small, and that the percentage of wholesome milk was as great, as the proportion of wholesome, fresh oysters that reach our tables. FRIED OYSTERS. Dip oysters into the beaten yolk and white of egg, then into crisp cracker crumbs. Fry it deep fat until the are golden brown Garnish with sliced lemon. ```markdown ``` spoonfuls of flour and stir until well blended, then pour on gradually while stirring constantly $1 \frac{1}{4}$ cupfuls of milk. Bring to the boiling point and season with half a teaspoonful of salt and an eighth of a teaspoonful of pepper. Add two cupfuls of boiled chicken meat cut in cubes, add a pint of oysters cleaned and drained. Cook until the oysters are plump. Pour over squares of buttered toast, with finely chopped celery for garnish. Oysters With Bacon.—Allow one-half dozen oysters for each person to be served. On thin steel skewers run a slice of bacon, then an oyster, and so on until all are used, serving one skewer to each person. Lay the skewers on a rack in a baking pan and cook in a hot oven for about five minutes. Under the gas flame is an ideal place to cook them. Have ready some slices of toast, place a skewer on each slice and pour some of the gravy from the pan over the oysters. Creamed Oysters.—Place two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan; when melted add two tablespoonfuls of flour, add a cupful and a half of milk and oyster liquor, or all milk, cook until smooth, then add a few drops of lemon juice, salt and pepper to season. Pick over the oysters to be sure there are no shells, scald the oysters in their own liquor and add to the sauce. Heat until thoroughly hot, then serve on hot buttered toast. Raw oysters serve with lemon juice, salt and pepper or with horseradish, salt and pepper. Tabasco sauce, tomato catchup are always good accompaniments to raw oysters. Serve in crushed ice in lemon cups the sauce in the center and the oysters and the half-shell surrounding it. Methods are many, principles are few. Methods may vary, principles never do. WHAT TO HAVE FOR DINNER. The planning of meals is worth thought if we furnish our tables with a variation from day to day. Banana Soup.—Select six ripe bananas and rub them through a sieve, adding twice as much cold milk, sweeten to taste, add a pinch of Banana Soup.—Select six ripe bananas and rub them through a sieve, adding twice as much cold milk, sweeten to taste, add a pinch of salt, the grated rind of a lemon and place it on the stove. When the boiling point is reached, add two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, mixed smooth in a little cold milk and stir into the boiling mixture. Cook for eight minutes, stirring all the time. Remove from the heat, cool and add two tablespoonfuls of strained lemon juice. Serve well chilled in boilion cups. Parisian Peas. — Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan, add a quart of green peas, mix well, then pour in enough boiling water to barely cover them. Add salt and pepper to taste, the heart of a head of lettuce, finely minced, one-half of an onion, chopped fine, and a sprig of parsley minced. Simmer until the peas are tender, then stir in the yolks of two well beaten eggs, taking from the heat. Return to the fire and simmer until ready to serve. Cheese Balls. — Chop fine eight olives, six radishes, two green peppers. Mix with two rolls of Neufchatel cheese and mold into balls the size of a walnut. Serve two of these balls with a salted wafer and a piece of celery on each plate. Chicken Southern Style.—Clean and prepare the fowl as for frying. Roll the pieces in seasoned flour and place in a heated pan with three tablespoonfuls of butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour a half cupful of cream over all. Cover and place in a hot oven to bake until tender. Remove the cover before taking from the oven to brown the chicken. Serve with a highly seasoned tomato sauce. One may combine almost any fruit or vegetable into an appetizing salad, but too many colors in one salad are not pleasing.

Phone South 1608 Denver, Colorado The HOME BEAUTIFUL Flowers and Shrubbery Their Care and Cultivation THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM The Result of Good Tree Planting, Affording Shade and Beauty of Leafage. By J. W. GRIFFIN. In selecting a list of trees to plant for shade on your lawn or along the avenue or near the house, make a note of the character of the soil and plant accordingly. If you are planning a home in the lowlands, where it is damp and where fogs hang on the better part of the morning, "cut it out," sell out, get out, do anything to get out, and go up higher if possible. Leave the swampy lands to the frogs and mosquitoes and the fevers. Make a note of the trees on the hillsides and those that grow on the hilltops. Pick out those that hold their foliage longest, also those whose foliage is healthiest and most dense. Some advocate spring and some fall planting of fruit and forest trees. I have it that the following gives good results: Where the trees to be set out are larger than two or three year old trees, I dig a hole four feet wide each way and two feet deep some time during the late fall or early winter. The top soil is thrown on one side, the subsoil on the other. The combined actions of the rain, freezing and thawing, produce a good effect on the soil thrown out, and upon the sides of the hole. The trees to be set out are procured during the fall and are heeled IN THE GARDEN Do not make the mistake of planting magnolias in the autumn. Where they thrive there is nothing more showy than the Chinese varieties. The flowers appear about the same time as the crocuses and tulips in the spring. The spring is a better time for planting. Do not permit any weeds to go to seed. Better not allow the seed pods to form. Go carefully over the garden these fall days and clear out every weed. Will save lots of trouble next season. Destroy the webs of the fall web worms wherever they are found. Right now is the time to arrange for cold frames for flowers and for the Caring for Seedlings in the Cold Frames. Caring for Seedlings in the Cold Frames. small greenhouse for winter gardens. At a moderate cost small greenhouses can be bought complete with heating apparatuses. Various shapes and sizes are offered. A spraying outfit for the garden need not be large or costly, and it will save its own value the first year it is used. The salvia is a splendid plant for hedges, for massing and for borders, as well as for general planting. It does best grown by itself. Remember it when planning next year's garden. THE MODERN GLADIOLUS Bv GEORGE S. WOODRUFF. Everybody knows the gladiolus—in a way. It has been called "The People's Flower" because the common people can get more satisfaction out of it, without special care or facilities, then from any other flower. As a cut flower, nothing but the expensive orchid lasts so long and no other flower has such variety and beauty of coloring. Nevertheless, the modern gladiolus is almost unknown to a large majority of our people, because of the great improvement which has been made in a comparatively short time. The gladiolus is propagated by direct multiplication, by cormels and by seeds. The corm planted dies at the end of the season, but produces a new one at the base of each shoot it sends up; so that the rapidity of multiplication depends on the number of shoots sent up. When the corms are dug in the fall in a protected place and are ready at any time they are wanted. A few days of sunshine and windy weather in early spring put the mounds of earth beside the holes in fine shape to put in around the trees. The trees may be set out two or three weeks before the surrounding soil will do to cultivate. First, strawy manure is tramped six inches deep in the bottom of the holes, then about six inches of the top soil is thrown in, leaving a little mound in the center of the hole upon which the center or taproot should rest. The finer or side roots are spread out around the little mound, more of the top soil is thrown in and packed tightly around the roots, filling up all air spaces and holding them in proper place. Next, some rotten straw, not manure, is thrown in, then the rest of the soil is tramped well around the trees. I do not use any manure next to the roots of the trees. The manure is scattered around the trees, the rain takes the fertility down to the roots and the solid matter, while rotting serves as a mulch. The above method, if closely followed, will take a tree through the first summer, which is the most critical part of the life of a tree. Get them started right. The way is easy. A bad start causes much trouble and delay. a number of bulblets or "cormels" are found attached to them. These cormels produce the same kind as the corms they are taken from and flowering the second or third year from planting—rarely the first year. When seeds are sown they will produce hardly two sorts alike, and many will be worth keeping, but there may be some fine new sorts. The seedlings will flower the second or third year. It is much more satisfactory to buy the cream of other people's seedlings than to fill the garden with a lot of poor sorts. Plant in full sunshine, but not against the south side of a wall, and away from the roots of trees, in well-prepared soil, a mellow, sandy loam preferred, and one retentive of moisture. Avoid contact with manure, which should never be fresh and had better be plowed in the previous season or in the fall. Occasionally restore potash to the soil in some form as for potatoes. If the soil be stiff or clayey put sandy loam in the furrow. Plant in furrows three to five inches deep, according to the size of the corms, and the quality of the soil, and at intervals of, say, two weeks, from the time the ground will work up well in July. By this means and by the difference in earliness of varieties, flowers may be had from July until hard frost. It is most important that the ground be kept stirred and mellow at all times, especially as soon after each rain as the ground will work well and before a crust forms. Unless you have planted in masses for landscape effect, cut every stem as soon as the first two or three flowers open and let the buds develop in water in the house. Every morning remove the old flowers, shorten the stems and change the water. Keep at night in a cool place. Thus treated the stems will be in bloom a week or more. If a few especially large flowers are wanted pinch off some of the top buds at the start. Before the ground freezes dig the bulbs and dry them. Then cut off the stems, close and store in shallow baskets or boxes in a cool, dry place. Pull off the old bulbs and roots when you have time. WATER PLANTS PLENTIFULLY When you water plants, soak them and have done with it. It is the little dabs of water all the time that do the mischief. Out of doors it doesn't rain every few minutes, but when it does it soaks them and then stops. Morning is the best time to water the plants. Stand the pots in a tub of water deep enough to reach almost to the rim of the pot. When the soil turns black on top take them out and drain — L. O. P. NEWS and GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON ```markdown ``` State Department Needs Fine Penmen for Notes State Department Needs Fine Penmen for Notes WASHINGTON.—A "note" in the old sense of the term was a brief, informal message sent to a friend or acquaintance. In the language of the diplomatic world, a "note" is a most formal document. In fact, it is the most Ben G. Davis, E. B. Russ, and Percy F. Allen. The department of state is the home of perfect penmanship. More of it is done there than in all the other offices of the government put together. The reason is that all foreign correspondence is essentially distinctive and individual in its character. Here old forms of address and quaint complimentary closings are the order of letters of diplomacy going out to kings, emperors, potentates, and rulers of the great and small countries that are dotted over the face of the earth. This correspondence that has a tendency to redundancy, or at least to verbosity in some cases, cannot be conducted by printed or engraved forms. It is individual and it is necessary that the document shall be entirely legible, and artistic as well. It must, therefore, be done under the hand of a man who is a master of the pen—a "Jim the Penman," who uses his talents only for good and legitimate purposes. Corps of Engineers Keeps Busy in Peace Times Corps of Engineers Keeps Busy in Peace Times THERE is one division in the war department as busy in times of peace as it is indispensable in time of war—the corps of engineers. To it falls not only the preparation of our forts and coast defenses, but the care of all without a permit, and practically no dam can be maintained in even the smallest stream if the department finds that it is against the interest of the government, as guardian of navigation, that it should exist. The courts have held that the water supply of a navigable river must not be curtailed. So, when a complaint was made by a ferryman that manufacturers on the Savannah were putting up flashboards from Saturday afternoon until Monday morning to conserve their supply of water, thus making the river below the dam fall so low that he could not operate his ferry boat, the department ordered the flashboards removed, and although there were threats of lawsuits, the water resumed its flow Sundays as well as other days. All the functions of this nonmilitary authority of the war department are exercised by the secretary through the engineer corps, and since the government has already expended more than $800,000,000, and the appropriation last year was a little more than $35,000,000 for this branch of the service, it will be seen that some heavy work must be done. Rifles, Dogs and Ferrets Clean Out "Rattown" THE population of "Rattown," in the Eastern market, Seventh and C streets southeast, one of the most prominent local centers for the tribes of rodents of the District, suffered the other night at the hands of men armed and clerks making no impression upon them. That is all over now, though. James H. Sherman, superintendent of weights, measures and markets, was appealed to, and, like a modern Pied Piper, he indicated the method by which the rats could be restrained from running the bazaar. The dogs, ferrets and marksmen were procured, and they commenced a ten-day war. When the popping of rifles, shrill yelps of dogs and squeaks of rats—they generally gave just one squeak before the terrifiers broke their proceeded from the market, groups of spectators gathered about. There were precipitate retreats from doorways and windows when some rodent working the law of self-preservation to the limit dashed madly for the sidewalks. When the ferrets were released from the boxes in which they lay sleeping unconcernedly, things began to move more quickly. Great Recreation Ground for Adults in Capital A MAMMOTH recreation ground for grown-ups, so universal in appeal that the lover of practically every sport will find the means of indulging his favorite pastime; so central in location that the business man and the gov- Sam is backing the project, financially as well as in every other way. The location for this recreation ground is that portion of Potomac park east of the railway tracks. It is a piece of ground which on the old maps of the District was designated merely as "river." In other words, it is "made ground." Present plans for the recreation park call for a vast stadium, one 18-hole golf course, 40 tennis courts, six baseball diamonds, two gridirons, two cricket fields, two bathing pools, with suitable house adjacent for dressing room purposes; a boating area, band stand, golf house and refreshment house, as well as general picnic grounds. Just how long it will take to build this gigantic playground for grown-ups and how much money will be needed are two questions which Colonel Harts finds himself unable to answer. He makes the emphatic statement, however, that a beginning will be made just as soon as congress appropriates sufficient money, and that as soon as the next session convenes plans will be in shape to show the appropriations committee.

McCLA 152 BLIND ARTIST MAKES GREAT IMPRESSION. Miss Mary L. Fitzhugh, the blind dramatic singer and elocutionist, kept a large audience at Shorter Chapel last Tuesday evening spell-bound in her rendition which was wonderful. The ease and grace attendant with her performance, supporting a voice which God and Nature seem to keep in form, cause an unusual admiration, making one almost forget her unfortunate dismemberment. Contributors to the program were Miss C. B. Fisher, pianist, who satisfied the audience in a marked degree, and Madam Ella Pleasant, who delighted in her particular role of elocution and impersonation. These comprise Miss Fitzhugh's company and large audiences should greet them wherever they go, as they are deserving of appreciation. Prof. Geo. Morrison, our local violinist, ably supported the program by his violin selections. Having enjoyed this rare treat the Colorado Statesman commends this artist and her company to the patronage of all America, assuring them that every satisfaction and pleasure will be given.

Henry III of France was vain enough to affect it in order to keep his skin fair. The face mask, again, was a part of the beauty treatment that Marguerite de Valois followed, and the celebrated Roman Empress Poppaea was another of its votaries. It was smeared inside with a beauty-giving cream and worn at night. Not every woman, however, cares to sleep in a mask. FIRE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT EARLY CAPT. F. M.
