PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Mme Paderewski Appeal for Polish Victims Madam Helena Paderewski, wife of the famous pianist, has addressed a letter to Dr. Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, making an appeal for the Polish victims of the European War. The letter is sent to the press with the thought that there may be those among the Negro people who may feel disposed to respond to Madam Paderewski's appeal. An organization known as the Polish Victims' Relief Fund has been organized, with headquarters Aeolian Building. 33 West 42nd Street, New York City. Madam Paderewski's letter follows: New York, October 26, 1915 My dear Mr. Washington: I am writing you a very personal letter on a subject that is close to my heart and I know the message it carries will find a response in your generous sympathy. It is with great pleasure that I recall our meeting, some years ago, and I have watched the success of your work among your people with sincere satisfaction, for I have always been an advocate of the principles for which you stand, the uplift of the colored race. It is because I know you have ever directed your broad influence towards the most worthy causes that I am asking you in the name of the starving babies and their helpless mothers, to tell your people that we need them in our work of sending food and medicine to Poland. We need, my dear Sir, even the smallest contribution that your beloved followers may offer and I beg of you to make an appeal to your people. Tell them, for they may not all know as well as you, yourself that it was a Pole—Kossciusko—who, in addition to fighting for American liberty, gave that which he needed himself to help the colored race. As you will recall, after refusing the grant of land offered him in recognition of his services in the War of the Revolution, he returned to Poland, not wishing to accept a reward for doing what he considered a sublime duty to those in need Later, after eight years, when he again visited America, he was given a pension as General in the American Army. With the back pay during his absence, the sum amounted to about $15,000.00. Although poor himself, he felt deep compassion for the neglected colored children and, with the money given him, he established the first school in America devoted exclusively to the education of the colored youth. I am sure you know the story in all its details, but I desire the colored people of America to know that today the descendants of the man who—unashed—aided them, plead for a crust of bread, a spoonful of milk for their hungry children. Tell them this and God will bless and prosper you in your telling and they in their giving. Do not think that small amounts are useless—five cents may save a life. I am sending Mr. Paderewski's appeal but conditions, today, are worse than when it was written. Will you help Poland? Will you do it now? Please reply to Hotel Gotham. Yours in work for humanity, (Signed) Helena Paderewski Dr. Booker T. Washington. Tuskegee, Alabama. Surely we should and must not hesitate to cheerfully respond to this appeal as it is in obedience to the law of, "one good turn deserves another." Unsolicited this Kosciusko, a Pole, gave of his substance to establish the first educational advantage to the Negro, and now the appeal from his descendants comes to us, out of gratitude and sympathy we ought to give as much as we can and now. Remember "he who-gives promptly gives twice as much."—(Editor) SELF ANALYSIS By William H. Briggs. The man who frequently sounds his heart to the bottom; the man who makes a close analysis of himself, the man who finds out his own faults, record the ground he has gained, and makes a note of the position he has lost, the fellow who gets acquainted with himself, has acquired more valuable knowledge than can be acquired at a college; more than he will gain in a scientific study of anything. Most of us are prone to value or condemn ourselves after the opinion expressed by others. The judgment DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1915 State Hist & Nat Hist Boating Plate House GIANTS WHO ADC E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO of the world does not always come from an unbiased source. Sometimes we receive praise and we know it is flattery. Sometimes we are credited with some character that we do not deserve. Reputation is what the world gives a man, character is what he really is. You know what you are, if you but stop to think. Time has embroidered into our lives many things we wish were not there. But why blur the present, why mar the future, with the dead past? Why live over the scenes of yesterday? Why loiter over the little games of the past? Why not accept these experiences as teachers? You are never too young to try, nor are you ever too old to mend. What ever has proven a stumbling block in the past let this be your stepping-stone in the future. Sit down my dear friend and analyze yourself. I take this medicine myself. Find your own faults. Be critical, be harsh with yourself. Ask yourself these questions: Am I lazy? Do I drink to excess? Am I extravagant? Have I an expensive, explosive temper? What in the world is the matter with me any way? Now, don't try to gloss over your faults, but show them up! Be square with yourself. This self-reliance may make you blush, but it is better to "blush unseen," like the rose, than to stand in society tagged "a Successful failure." Whatever you put in a bank, you have a right to draw out. Every ounce of physical strength, mental resource that you have belongs to you personally, and you have a perfect right to use up this vitality any way you choose. But if you over-draw at the bank they will mark the check "Insufficient Funds." If you try to take out of life more than you put in, you will sooner or later be humiliated by the transaction, you cannot do the town nights and do business days. Banks and human bodies keep tabs on you—Colored American Review NEGROES AS HEALTH OFFICERS. A Southern university man, writing in the Southern Workman, advocates the employment of Negroes as health officers among their people. He says: "The Southern white man probably realizes but imperfectly just how much natural segregation of the races has taken place in our Southern cities. Even domestic servants now very frequently live some distance away from the houses in which they serve. Close personal relations between whites and blacks have almost ceased to exist. With this separation has come the need of Negroes for help from members of their own race. A band of well-trained physicians has already come among them to help in filling the need of physical welfare. Many of these men must realize more clearly than others what must be done to preserve Negro health. Many of them would doubtless be more than willing to be of service in the cause of public health among the members of their own race. "The opportunity for such service might be offered, with beneficial results to both races, were one Negro physician or sanitary expert in every Southern city or town to be appointed as an assistant health officer Colored women of Virginia, during eight long years full of hopes and disappointments, have struggled to do something worth while and immediately necessary for the wayward girls of their own race. Acting through the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, these pioneer and leaders in social-service work have raised nearly $6,000, have bought a farm of 147 acres at Peake in Hanover County, Virginia, and opened what is known as the Industrial Home School for Colored Girls. The word wayward has been purposely omitted from the school's title. The colored women of Virginia, working with their able president, Mrs. Harris Barrett—a graduate of Hampton Institute and a successful settlement head worker—feel that the emphasis should be placed on the ideas of home, industry, and school, rather than on reform, correction, or waywardness. Virginia colored club women have received from their white friends, including some of the most influential and aristocratic Virginians in private and public life, over two thousand dollars. Best of all, they have won and held both in and out of Virginia, the hearty endorsement and sympathetic cooperation of hundreds of white people. Working together in harmony for a splendid cause they have received for the Industrial Home School an appropriation from the Virginia Legislature amounting to six thousand dollars—and the promise of more in proportion as the school helps to solve the difficult problem of handling successfully a group of wayward colored girls —Southern Workman THE MAY CO.

When on duty this officer should be armed with the full power of the law. He should report to the health office all unsanitary places in the Negro quarters, should take proper precautions against epidemics there, and should constantly be on the watch to bring housing conditions up to a standard under which health and bodily efficiency could be maintained. He should enlist the Negroes of his city in a determined effort to improve by voluntary measures the conditions under which they live." RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 2.—Miss Wilhelmina Tait the young colored woman who was accidently killed by an automobile recently, left real and personal property worth several thousand dollars, besides $12,239 47 in cash on deposit in two banks.

C., October, 1915 —A memorial is being circulated for signers, making an appeal to President Wilson and Congress for the establishment of a military school in connection with the work at Howard University, at which Colored boys may receive training similar to that given white boys at West Point. Howard University is selected because this school is controlled by the government and suitable grounds adjacent to the school site, is available at minimum cost. Marion, Ark., Nov. 5 —The nerve and courage of Deputy Sheriff Williford, who always acts as jailer, frustrated the plans of a mob of 200 white men, who were intent on lynching Gene Judah, a Negro, confined in the jail under charge of criminal assault on a young woman at Earle, eighteen NO 13 miles from Marion. The mob rode up to the jail at 2 o'clock in the morning and by a pretext got the jailer to open the door. But when the mob attempted to force its way in, Williford thrust his pistol against the leader's side and forced him outside. Then he locked the door and defied the mob, assuring them that he would defend the jail as long as his ammunition lasted. The members of the mob were cowed by his bold stand and left in their automobiles going in the direction of Earle. Grand Rapids, Mich.. Nov. 5. As compensation for an insult, the jury in Judge McDonald's court has rendered a verdict of $75 in favor of Joseph J. Adams. Geo. A. Fraam (white), proprietor of a restaurant and ice cream parlor, was the defendant. Adams was refused service at the parlors one evening while in company with two young women. The judge reminded Mr. Fraam, who said his father was an abolitionist and Union soldier, that Mr. Adams was an American, and that as long as he was a judge on the bench in that or any other state, such as he would have to respect all patrons that come into their places of business. If he wanted to do otherwise he must move his business down South, because Michigan would be a bad place for him. New York, Nov. 4.—A leopard may not change his spots, but a baby may its color, as Mrs. Ida M. Truda, 45 years old, truthfully admitted today at her home in Brooklyn, where she is waiting for her husband to come and forgive her and help turn tragedy into comedy. The story came out today when Mrs. Truda placed the baby on the Lieutenant's desk in a police station. She and her husband had been married twenty five years without a baby blessing their home, she said, and last December he felt so bad about the matter that he left her. Mrs. Truda says they became reconciled and both became very food of the baby. "That was in July. Soon afterward the child's appearance began to change," she said. "We thought it had joundice and changed its milk, but the baby kept getting darker and darker. Then we called a doctor." The doctor looked wise and asked her if it was her baby. Then she confessed to her husband that it was not their baby and she had adopted it to hold his love. CONDENSATION OF FRESH NEWS THE LATEST IMPORTANT DIS PATCHES PUT INTO SHORT, CRISP PARAGRAPHS.

While, therefore, there is some reason for rejoicing, the fight against the high Negro death rate must be even more intelligently directed. More attention must be given to Negro housing, the care of consumptives, the feeble-minded and other handicapped classes, child conservation and public health education. The figures from selected cities show, with few exceptions, a decrease, according to the census of 1910, in the Negro death rate as compared with that shown by the 1900 census. A study of typical southern cities discloses, however, in spite of a decreasing Negro death rate, a health problem which white and colored people must face bravely, intelligently and immediately. When Negroes are dying at least as fast again as their white neighbors, there is no health security for educated and wealthy people, regardless of their color. Better health for Negroes! This cry should be heeded by school and health officers, business and professional men, church and Sunday school workers, indeed, by all classes of citizens, regardless of race or creed. "The question as to whether the decrease in mortality among Negroes in 1910 as compared with 1900," says a recent bulletin issued by the census bureau, "was due to permanent causes, such as improved housing conditions, better medical attention, and generally improved sanitary conditions, and not to the absence of epidemics, is an important and interesting one." Then follows this significant statement, and the figures which accompany it warrant a respectful hearing: "Undoubtedly one of the factors which have caused the decrease in the Negro death rate is the increase in home ownership among the Negro population." Alabama and Virginia, in which Tuskegee and Hampton are located, make a good showing. In Alabama Negroes owned, in 1910, 33,941 homes (including 17,227 farmhouses), an increase of 44.2 per cent over 1900, or one owned home for every 12 Negro inhabitants. In Virginia there were, in 1910, 56,933 homes (including 32,528 farmhouses), an increase of 23.1 per cent over 1900, or one owned home for every 12 Negro inhabitants. For the southern states as a whole, the figures were, in 1910: Total owned homes of Negro families, 430,449 (including 212,507 farmhouses), an increase of 31.4 per cent over 1900, or one owned home for every 20 Negro inhabitants. To offset this good record for whole groups of states and for the entire South, there is the clearest kind of evidence that the city Negro is not essentially a home owner, despite the lowering Negro death rate in typical cities. Important work remains to be done, not only in forcing down and down the Negro death rate, but also in helping the Negro, rural as well as urban, to own his home. The good work of reducing Negro mortality through home owning should be con- The United States treasury department has started out to defeat the scheme of certain persons operating in the South who are collecting money from former slaves by telling them they are entitled to share in a fund of $68,000,000, an amount said to have been collected in Civil war times as an internal revenue tax on raw cotton. "There is no fund of $68,000,000 or any other sum in the treasury of the United States for former slaves or their heirs, or for any other persons who worked in the cotton fields of the South," declared an official statement issued over the signature of Secretary McAdoo. The former slaves, according to the statement, are informed by the persons behind the project that a part of the alleged fund is due them on account of labor performed by them during the years from 1859 to 1868. Those who would make the collections for the former slaves or their heirs generally propose the institution of a suit in the District supreme court against the secretary of the treasury with utter disregard, it is said, of the fact that it is a familiar law that a suit of this nature There are still three survivors of the original Mormon band to find its way into the valley of the Great Salt lake in 1847.

Southern Workman. Antipathy to the Negro and unjust abuse of him is born of misconception of his place in southern industrial life. What truth there is in charges made to the grand jury of abuses practiced by city officials against Negro prisoners this writer does not know. But the picture drawn by charges of beatings inflicted, of property confiscated and of general mistreatment of ignorant and unprotected blacks closely parallels the hideous picture of the Black Hole of Calcutta, and constitutes a blot upon the record of this boasted section of civilization. The Negro is yet a ward of this nation, of the white men who compose, guide and direct it, and he is entitled to the protection and care of the courts and of society. He is, too, an important integral part of our industrial life. By his labor the South has prospered, the fires of industry have been kindled and kept alive. He guides the plow in thousands of fields. He delves deep into the bowels of the earth and brings forth treasure for the people. That many Negroes are ignorant is no fault of theirs; that many are vicious is but a natural tendency of the human race, both white and black. Yet the Negro must ever be regarded as a producer, especially in this Southland of ours. Remove him from the industrial fields of the South, and the loss would fall heavily upon capital and progress would be retarded. It is thought that the Bessemer case is not the only one that should be ventilated and punishment follow. The fee system has long oppressed the Negro, and many are the victims of injustice at the hands of official oppressors. The strong hand of the law should be invoked to protect the oppressed, and intelligence and morality should demand fairness for blacks and for whites alike. Let it be remembered that dependence between whites and blacks is mutual in this great industrial district, and to discourage and drive away one class would work serious hardships to the other. The bone and sinew of blacks directed by the brain and capital of whites constitutes the driving force in our march of progress. Is it not probable that such abuses as those alleged against Bessemer officials cause criminal Negroes to so often shoot and kill deputy sheriffs and policemen while in the discharge of their duties in making arrests?—Bessemer (Ala.)

Probably the longest and most luxuriant beard in the world is that of Zachary T. Wilcox of Carson City, Nev., a veteran of the Civil war.

Suit already has been filed by four persons. The treasury statement, however, expressed the opinion that it is "more than probable that the case will be dismissed by the court on a preliminary motion." Some of the most enterprising farmers in the state are colored men and it is characteristic of them that when they once establish a record they hold to it. Such is the case with G. W. Kistler, a colored farmer of Cumberland county. For a number of years he has been the seller of the first bale of new cotton on the Fayetteville market, and he has just repeated the performance for the present season. Should Kistler lose the record, the Observer would confess to disappointment. The Negro who holds a record in any line of good endeavor deserves the encouragement of his white neighbors and friends, and generally has it—at least that is the sentiment in this section of the state.

COLORADO COMPENSATION LAW DECLARED A SUCCESS. Annual Payroll of $6,000,000 Represented in Business Written During First Three Months. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—The success of the state accident insurance system, operating in connection with the workman's compensation law, is described in a statement from the industrial commission, issued by W. W. Greene actuary and manager of the insurance fund. The system has been in operation three months and Mr. Greene draws his conclusions from its efficiency during that time. He says: "To practical people it is always a relief to pass from the realm of speculation to that of fact. Citizens of Colorado will be interested to learn that the success of the state compensation insurance fund, a matter of hot debate some months ago, is now assured beyond the shadow of a doubt "The fund's business now written and paid for indicates an annual income from workmen's compensation premiums of well over $100,000 with some $6,000,000 of annual payroll or at least 6,000 employés insured. Nearly every Colorado industry is represented except coal mining. Cash payments to injured employés, their dependents and their doctors amount to about $1,000 to date. Compensation is being paid regularly and promptly, disabled workmen are receiving medical attention and weekly benefits without friction or delay, and dissatisfied policyholders are an unknown quantity." Reply in "Home Rule" Case Filed. Denver.—The reply brief of the state in the liquor controversy between the state and the city was filed in the Supreme Court by Attorney General Fred Farrar. In answer to the "home rule" arguments of the city's counsel, the brief cited numerous cases to support the state's theory that the regulation of the liquor traffic was a statewide question and did not come under the provisions of the twentieth amendment. "The legislature or the people of the state have the right to legislate in regard to intoxicating liquors," the brief declares, "because it is a question that comes under the police power of the state. It comes under the police power because it is a question that affects the health, the morals and the safety of the community. The people of the whole state are interested as to the health, morals and safety of the people of the city and county of Denver as well as of the territory lying outside of said city." Tax Dispute to High Court. Denver.—For the third time in three years the courts will be asked to pass on the right of the state taxing authorities to increase the taxable valuation of Denver property as found by Finance Commissioner Pitcher in his capacity as ex-officio county assessor. Commissioner Pitcher notified Attorney General Farrar that he will refuse to add to the Denver valuation the $55,000,000 increase ordered by the Colorado tax commission and approved by the state board of equalization. The attorney general immediately announced that he will go into court and ask for a writ of mandamus against the Denver finance commissioner, by which he expects to compel that official to spread the $55,000,000 on his tax rolls. Hearing Asked in Shortage Case. Denver—In response to demands made upon them by former State Treasurer Leddy to make good the shortage for which Julius A. Clark, former bookkeeper in Mr. Leddy's office, is held responsible, the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company asserts that the blame has never been definitely and formally fixed on Mr. Clark. Attorneys for the company declare that until some hearing is held, no claim for the missing $9,868 exists against the bonding concern. Mr. Leddy is being asked for the money by State Auditor Mulnix, as Mr. Clark was not bonded to the state, but to Mr. Leddy, personally, for $10,000. U. S. Board Announces Examination.

Denver—All legacies named, all claims made and all expenses incurred in litigations instituted by claimants against the will of the late William Barth, pioneer Denver real estate man, who died a year ago, leaving an estate valued at $2,000,000, are to be paid by Miss Charlotte Barth, granddaughter and sole heir, in accordance with the terms of a compromise announced, provided the claimants will agree to dismiss the actions and make assignments. $5,500,000,000 CROPS WHEAT, CORN, OATS AND OTHER CROPS MAKE NEW RECORDS. High Prices. Due to European War, Have Contributed to Swell Total Value of Big Yields. Washington—The nation's principal farm crops this year are worth by $5,500,000,000, exceeding by more than $500,000,000 their value in 1914, the previous banner value year in the country's crop history. There has been an unprecedented harvest, many of the crops exceeding their best records, and high prices, due to the influence of the European war, have contributed to swell the total value. Statistics announced by the department of agriculture in its November crop report base values on prevailing November prices. Corn, with a production of 3,090,509,000 bushels, 34,000,000 bushels below the record crop, worth $1,913,025,071, the most valuable corn crop ever grown. It exceeds the former biggest value crop, that of 1914, by $190,000,000. Wheat, with the largest production ever known in any country, 1,002,029,000 bushels, or about one-fourth of the world's wheat crop this year, is worth $932,888,999, or $54,000,000 more than the record made in 1914. The oats crop also was a record one, both in point of production and value. The harvest was 1,517,478,000 bushels—almost 100,000,000 bushels better than the record of 1912—and its value $532,599,822, is $33,000,000 more than the record value of the 1914 crop. Barley, rye, sweet potatoes, hay and rice were record crops in point of production and tobacco almost equaled its best production. The rye and hay crops were records in point of value. The approximate value of the barley crop is $118,577,682; the rye crop, $37,861,403; buckwheat, $12,854,750; potatoes, $218,425,824; sweet potatoes, $42,456,050; hay, $877,054,890; cotton, $609,000,000; tobacco, $105,002,500; flaxseed, $30,050,543; rice, $22,313,350; apples, $164,380,480; peaches, $60,613,736, and pears, $9,275,634. In this year's harvest the corn crop passed the 3,000,000,000 bushels mark for the second time, and the wheat crop crossed the 1,000,000,000 bushel mark for the first time. Potato prospects declined 9,000,000 bushels during October, the crop now being placed at 359,253,000 bushels. That is 46,000,000 less than last year's crop and the prospective moderate supply for winter use is reflected in the sharp advance in farm price from 48.7 cents a bushel on Oct. 1 to 60.8 cents on Nov. 1. The Nov. 1 price is 8 cents higher than a year ago. The crop is shortest in the northern states, which grow the surplus of the late crop. The quality, too, is below the average. American Federation of Labor Meets San Francisco.—Presentation of the annual report of the executive council featured the opening day of the thirty-fifth annual convention of the American Federation of Labor, which opened here for a two weeks' session. President Samuel Gompers presented the report which pronounced the year past the most momentous in the history of organized labor and one of extraordinary stress for the labor movement, testing as it had its very existence. The report deals at length with the Colorado coal strike of 1914. "But this strike of the Colorado miners has not been in vain. It has already put fear into the hearts of the mine operators. With or without the consent of the coal operators of Colorado, the miners will organize." In part, the report says: "Early in the year 1915 the Colorado miners were forced through hunger and necessity to return to work in the mines upon conditions granted them by the mine operators. The strike had already accomplished some of the purposes, for the mine operators were careful not to violate the state law openly. The Colorado Fuel & Iron Company refused to recognize the organization of the United Mine Workers, but it did agree to the formation of associations of its miners for the purpose of presenting grievances and other matters to the mine operators. * * * Until the miners of Colorado have organizations that have equal power with the organizations of their employers, they will not be able to maintain the rights of the miners and secure justice for these workers. Strikes will not cease in Colorado until the miners have recognition for the bona fide trade union organizations and are able to establish and maintain industrial justice.

From the success of the Republican party in the Eastern elections it appers as if "coming events are casting their shadows before" for 1916 national action. Even in states that have been Democratic for years Republicans have either captured the Legislature or elected Congressmen. This provides another lesson in the political school of the G. O. P. that it must work as a whole if its thorough success is to be assured. Beginning at home, we find a lack of consultation with old, staunch and tried Republicans, who have never forsaken the party under any conditions or circumstances, and who would never allow themselves to be the victims of any monetary influence or otherwise. This we apply specially to the colored members of the party here in Colorado. Eastern states have set quite an example in showing the recognition given to men who have subscribed their unstinted support for the well-being and upkeep of the party, and by working as one the result is an insurance of success when the time arrives. We have a number of taxpayers in Colorado who are proud of their association with the Republican party, and as taxpayers represent the backbone of any community for its financial preservation, it seems reasonable to us that they should be consulted or met in conference more often for the purpose of hearing their views on matters affecting the life of the party. Noticing particularly the present indications there should be no halting, no hesitation in grasping what presents itself and champion the cause in such a manner as to restore what rightfully it owns. The get-together spirit in the East ought to find its reflection in the West, and the quicker the action in an universal form the better and stronger will be the result which will offer lasting benefits to those who are constantly struggling for life and liberty. "The whole is greater than its party." COLORADO TAXPAYERS PROTECTIVE LEAGUE In acknowledging the receipt of the second of a series of reports relating to the finances of the city and county of Denver we must offer our commendation to this body of men who, after arrangement with the City Council and Auditor have agreed to operate a system of accounting for the period of six months with the hope of the commissioners' adoption of the system on January 1, 1916. The work, in a neatly bound volume, is entitled "FORWARD," and gives a detailed account of the receipts and expenses of the city's various departments for the month of August, clearly showing a consolidated operating statement, general balance sheet, fund statement, cash statement with detailed schedules appended—the same offering full information to persons desirous of obtaining knowledge regarding the activities of the city. The officers of the League are as follows: Lawrence C. Phipps, president; William V. Hodges, vice president; John C. Mitchell, treasurer; R. E. Wright, executive secretary. These men, with a Board of Directors, Executive Committee and general members, consisting of leading citizens and largest taxpayers of the city and county of Denver, are very popular and held in the highest estimation in the community, and their efforts to serve the public in recommendations that are so beneficial should make a favorable impression on the commissioners, thereby perpetuating so worthy an object. Being taxpayers who have borne the heat and burden of the day and are still contributing to the revenue of the city. The Colorado Statesman hopes to lend its best and noblest help in securing the adoption of this system, believing it will constitute a most valuable asset of information that is so desirable and helpful to the public. AD FINEM. AD FINEM. The last act (as we are informed) in the drama of "Home Rule" for Denver in the regulation of the liquor traffic and the granting of licenses for the coming year is now being staged. The WETS and the DRYS have submitted their arguments, through counsels, to the State Supreme Court and both sides have agreed to end the matter there. The prohibition forces seem to be sure of success, as their argument dwells chiefly on state rights and the voice of the people as expressed at the polls when the state went on record as being out the liquor trade after December 31st, 1915, the same being sanctioned by the Legislature and becoming law with the necessary penalty attached. The supporters of the non-alcoholic movement are jubilant over the benefits to be derived, as they hold Colorado will get rid of its undesirables, who must find other fields of operations, as there will be no more of the ruby liquid to excite their passions to wrong-doing. They are sure that there will be an increase in the financial status per capita, as new enterprises will be launched and numerous spheres of employment will be opened for the people. In fact, they say, already there is a demand for labor in the beet and wheat fields and any man who is willing to work can find employment. The Commissioner of Safety is determined to enforce the prohibitive law if the court decides in its favor, and with his efficient corps of men and possible additions boot-legging will be given no quarter. And now, in our opinion and as persons who abide the laws of the state, we advise obedience to law and order. Though some may be inconvenienced if the liquor traffic ceases to exist, yet we must remember, it is the will of the people, and if, after due consideration, they resolved on a Dry Colorado, an opportunity should be given to prove its success and improvement from an all-round standpoint. We sincerely hope that with the decision of the Supreme Court all frictions and factions will come to an end. Does Receding Chin Denote Villainy? By T. O'DONNELL, Chicago I have just finished reading another story wherein the author, in order to create the impression of villainy inherent in a certain character, gives him the trite faculty of possessing, among other vile characteristics, a receding chin. It is quite time to inquire into this penchant which authors in general have for villainy as it is exemplified in the person with a receding chin. The latter is not ipso facto a sign of degeneracy. I grant that the person lacking in jawbone may be a villain, but the percentage is equally high among persons possessing a determined and protruding jaw. In fact, the latter type would be much more dangerous to the community and certainly would create more excitement in a story, for his criminal tendencies would be backed by determination and overmastering desire to attain a certain end which the person with the receding chin would never dream of using or exerting. Consider the mental characteristics typified by a receding chin. Such a person is easily led, ergo suggestible, vacillating, lacking resourcefulness, shy, poor in those businesses which demand bluster, lacking the faculty of judgment, deficient in critical faculty and of a very nervous temperament. He is apt to have a liking for the more esthetic enjoyments of life, as compared to the more active ones. Keenly sensitive, he will be apt to feel the rebuffs of the world and the casual acquaintance more keenly and worry over them abnormally. These are all qualities which are out of place in this hustling world of today. But see the compensations. Such persons have the faculty of imagination largely developed. They are apt to be geniuses in art, in letters, in music, in sculpture, in any one of the lesser refinements of life, which call for the touch of the artistic temperament. Their lack of the critical faculty, of the capability for judgment, makes them slow to see the shortcomings of their friends. The world, in spite of the worries they entertain with respect to themselves, bothers them not greatly. With a man friendship will be more of the feminine quality; he will be apt to be more whole-hearted in his choice of friends, not seeking them for what advantage they give him, pouring out the excess of affection which makes history scintillate with such an attachment as that of Damon and Pythias. A woman with a receding chin is not a sight to see from the standpoint of beauty. Yet I have known such and they have been good mothers and beloved in the circles in which they moved and their children were handsome ones. Important Things Girls Should Know By E. J. Clabaugh, Springfield, Ill. Important Things Girls Should Know By E. J. Clabaugh, Springfield, III. There are some things not always taught in schools that every girl should know. One of the most important is to be careful what kind of company she keeps. The size of the bank account has nothing to do with the character. A man may be a millionaire, yet be unfit to associate with a pure-minded woman, while the poor man's son who has worked with his hands and brain to pay his way through college, and who is honorable in all his dealings, is worthy of the friendship and esteem of any woman, no matter what is her position in society. She should know that one hundred cents makes a dollar and learn to keep her expenses within her income, even if the income be small. This is a business principle that is conducive to happiness and peace of mind all through life. She should know how to make her own clothes, sew on buttons and darn or mend anything that needs it. This knowledge will be more useful than the ability to do fancywork. She should know that a plain dress that is neat and becoming is more ladylike in appearance than one of expensive material that is not well cared for. She should know how to care for a house from cellar to attic, whatever may be her station in life. The wheel of fortune makes some rapid revolutions, and the rich man of today may be the poor man of tomorrow. In demeanor she should be modest and ladylike, quiet of speech, yet with a firmness that will enable her to say yes and mean it, or no and stick to it. These are a few of the many lessons learned in the great school of humanity. Tuning Fork Test for the Liver By J. P. BRADBURY, New York Tuning Fork Test for the Liver By J. P. BRADBURY, New York The time-honored tuning fork is no longer confined to the exclusive use of the choirmaster. The man of medicine has recently added it to his equipment, and at present counts it a valuable part of his diagnostic machinery. It has been discovered that when this instrument is vibrating, if the shaft is set against the body wall and moved about, a note varying with the density of the organ underneath it will be transmitted to the stethoscope. To be more specific, if the shaft is over the liver, the moment it is removed beyond this organ the note changes. It is thus possible for the physician to outline this organ with absolute accuracy, more exactly, indeed, than through the medium of the X-ray photograph. A fatty liver is to be distinguished from cirrhosis by the changes in tone which the tuning fork registers, and cavities in the lungs may be accurately located and definitely outlined. It requires considerable training to enable one to properly interpret the diagnostic tones of the instrument because of the different densities of the bodies intervening between the skin and the organ to be examined. The ribs of adults, for instance, being much denser than those of children, modify the sound. The way of life outlined by Jesus is crystallized in Paul's injunction to "overcome evil with good." The critics of this philosophy contend it is contrary to the realities of life. They Pull Together Rule Needed by Mankind By Rev. F. A. Moore, Pastor of Universalist Church of Redeemer, Chicago The way of life outlined by Jesus is crystallized in Paul's injunction to "overcome evil with good." The critics of this philosophy contend it is contrary to the realities of life. They show us life is a struggle between force and weakness; that the battle of life is to the strong; that might is the only practical standard of right. B't are these contended facts realities or only superficialities? The realities of the natural world are as much mother love and co-operation as anything of an opposite kind. The primary law of the universe is gravitation, a pulling together. The supreme reality is the divine spirit of love. The tragic superficiality is man's nightmare of self-interest, self-seeking, self-defense and aggrandizement. These make trouble the world over and are as old as the race. They originate in a false philosophy of life. The realities lie beyond our diseased vision in the realm of justice, reciprocity, the brotherhood of man, the federation of the world in the bands of democracy.

Never in the history of the school has the teachers done such enthusiastic work, the increase showing more than 100 per cent for the month of October. The Woman's Bible class will meet Thursday at 2:30. Every woman in the city is welcome. The lesson for the period is, "The Ministry of John the Baptist." (Matt. 3:1-12; Mark 1:1-8; Luke 3:1-18.)

We present, to interested Bible students, the Bible class in connection with the People's Presbyterian Sabbath school, where researches are made every Sabbath morning for half an hour, from 10 to 10:30 in Bible study. The class is growing weekly. The verdict of the scholars among whom are some of the most eminent students of the Word, is that the lessons are instructive and inspiring. To be in line with all the progressive moves in the city along the line of religious activities we once more enjoin on all our members and friends to make the sacrifice to attend all of the Sabbath services as well as the Wednesday night prayer and song exercises. The community is once more reminded that Thanksgiving services will be observed at this church at 11 o'clock Thanksgiving day. We submit for pulpit treatment tomorrow two very interesting themes. The former is to expressly locate each of the ethnic heads in history and religion and thus lay bare the false assumption that some people make with regards to monopolizing all of the good in both history and religion of the past and present. The evening sermon provides a comparison of program between the Christ and modern representatives of the Christ. Everybody is invited. SAN DIEGO, CAL Special to The Statesman: Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

MILTON TURNER St. Louis, Nov. 4.—J. Milton Turner, 76 years old, a colored former United States minister to Liberia, died at Ardmore, Okla.. Tuesday, according to dispatches received here. Mr. Turner lived in St. Louis, but he was injured in the explosion of a tank car at Ardmore, a month ago. He was the first Colored man to enter the American diplomatic service, having been appointed minister to Liberia by President Grant in 1870. Mr. Turner was born on a plantation in St. Louis county and when a boy was sold as a slave on the St. Louis court house steps for $50 Home Influences. The value of a home that is a real home is priceless, writes a Farm and Fireside contributor. To say that early environment figures largely in molding, the character is putting it very mildly, as I know from personal experience, both as a child and a parent. Home environment actually makes the child what he or she will be in the future. The Man Who Dreamed A noted man once said: "The man with imagination rules the earth." The man who dreams and imagines the highest ideals and then strives and does attain them—that is the man who is master of his life. Race Characteristics The Jew has little feeling for the particular.

Investigation showed that the lightning had ruptured a water main beneath the pavement and that the path provided by the tubular pole was the only means of escape for the leaking water. Since, to shut off the main would have deprived a large district of its water supply, the impromptu fountain was allowed to run during the night, and the main was repaired next day.

The HOME BEAUTIFUL Flowers and Shrubbery Their Care and Cultivation THE GARDEN Showing the Beauty of Massing Hydrangeas. PERENNIALS AND HERBACEOUS PLANTS By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN. There is no class of flowering plants more desirable than the hardy perennials and herbaceous plants like the hydrangeas, the peonies, the hollyhocks, golden glow, spirea and iris. These plants require but little attention, and for those who have not much time to devote to the garden, there is no class more desirable. Most of them will do well in ordinary soils and flourish under conditions unfavorable to the satisfactory development of annuals. The annuals should be left to those who are here this season and away next. For the permanent residents it is well to consider the merits of this class of plants. The cultivation of a collection of hardy plant is urged in preference to annuals because the latter class will not prove satisfactory unless a good deal of time and labor are expended on them. One of the prime arguments in favor of the perennials is—that once established your plants are good for an indefinite period. Your garden does not have to be made every season. About all this class of plants will ask of you is that in the spring the plants will need to be worked about and freed, from the grass which will encroach upon their territory, if allowed to do so, the soil will require fertilizing, and once in three or four years the old plants will be bettered by a division of their roots. A great many of these can be attended to in a day, and the work is much easier than that of making beds and pulling weeds. One of the best perennials is the hydrangea. The coloring is beautiful and it lends itself to massing and is lovely in all its stages from the first tender green, through the pink and rose stage on to its russet coloring in the fall. The hollyhock is another favorite. It comes in a wide range of colors—white, rose, crimson, maroon, and soft yellow—it is a profuse bloomer and does well in almost any kind of soil. Double hollyhocks are mostly in favor these days, but the single ones are well worth the cultivation. Cut off the old flower-stalks, as soon as the buds on them have developed, and quite frequently new stalks will be sent up late in the season. In this way one may have holly- A Wonderful Planting of F HOME GROUNDS BEAUTIFUL A Wonderful Planting of Palms in a California Garden. While in the North, East and middle West it is impossible to achieve the beautiful effects possible in the South, there is much that can be done to improve the appearance of the grounds around our homes. The huge palms that grow so wonderfully in southern California and lend beauty and charm to the southern home are not for us in their exotic prodigality of growth. But, a lesson can be learned from the planting of these huge palms. The accompanying photograph of the grounds around a home in Los Angeles gives one a fine idea of the beauty of planting, be it trees or palms. Plenty of space and a chance for the tree to shine in the picture. It is a mistake to plant trees too closely together. Some of our yards took as if they were planted for timber instead of for shade and the --- hocks until late in the season. Seeds planted in May, June or July will give one dozen of plants from which flowers may be expected the following season. Great clumps of golden glow or rudbeckia make an exceedingly rich show of color. For weeks it is a solid mass of golden blooms, and for cutting we have few better flowers. The spireas should be more extensively grown. It would be difficult to find a more exquisitely lovely flower, with its great plumelike panicles of airy, pink bloom. The iris should always be given a place in the amateur gardener's collection. It must have a somewhat moist location. The Japanese and German varieties have remarkable colorings. Perennial phlox should be in the collection and ought to include a dozen of the most distinct varieties. This is the geranium of the outdoor garden. It grows easily and is a profuse bloomer. Hardy pinks are good, readily obtainable and easily grown. Unless you desire immediate effects all the kinds here mentioned will bloom the second season from seedling plants. Now is the time to think of your garden for next year and if you have been restoring to annual planting try making permanent beauty spots. FOR THE WINDOW GARDEN By PRISCILLA PAKE. All the hardy flowering shrubs may be started by rooting cuttings, and this should be done early so the plants will be well established before the cold weather. Such plants started from cuttings will bloom much more quick 17 than those from seeds. For rooting oleander cuttings, split the stem a little way and push a bit of cotton between the parts, then place in a bottle of water, hang in a warm shady place, sheltered from the wind. Wrap a black paper or cloth about the bottle to exclude the light, and bide your time. Replenish the water, if necessary. Acacia lopantha is one of the most beautiful, fernlike plants, is easily started from seeds, and will "show up" beautifully when only a few months old. The flowers will appear the second or third year, under good treatment. The plant requires plenty of root room, will grow to be quite a tree and is long lived. alms in a California Garden. beauty given by proper arrangement. Ornamental shrubbery can be effectively used and the successful cultivation of this shrubbery depends upon the simple principles of ordinary gardening: First, proper preparation of the ground—which is merely digging or plowing a foot or two deep and seeing that there is a supply of fertile soil, properly drained. A good dressing of well-rotted stable manure spread over the surface of the bed and dug in will achieve wonders. The second point of importance to consider in planting is whether you want to have done with the work once and for all or whether you will carefully tend the plantation for the next few years. The ideal way is to plant a little thickly—that is, to plant a few more than can later on be comfortably accommodated upon the space, and to thin out in succeeding years as the various plants attain greater size. --- WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS Farmer's Wife Asked Uncle Sam for Only $1,000 WASHINGTON.—Confiding one's needs to Uncle Sam has been a popular pastime with many citizens, and the benevolent old gentleman has had many requests for aid, ranging from weird to natichetic. It remained however share she could purchase two cows, a much-needed set of false teeth, and one automobile. She confided that she needed the money a great deal more than Uncle Sam does and expressed the earnest conviction that it could not be put to better use than where it is needed on the farm. Therefore she asked that the thousand be sent by return mail. Secretary McAdoo has received several letters suggesting useful purposes to which the conscience fund might be applied, but none so confidingly trustful as this one. Government May Move to Conserve the Lobster ALARMED at the decrease in the source of supply of lobsters that has followed increasing demand for this sea food, and the consequent careless methods of fishermen bent only on easy exploitation, leaders among those engaged in the lobster industry in the been placed on the statute books of the nation and the states legislation that proves a great protection to the industry, but there has been little legislation of this character to protect lobsters. If the lobster men have their way the two industries will be placed on much the same legislative footing. Some of the principal steps that need to be taken for the protection of the lobster industry, in the opinion of its leaders, are the granting of greater appropriations by congress to the bureau of fisheries and the provision for state regulation of methods of capture and possession and federal regulation of interstate shipments. In order that the industry may be built up on a proper basis, the lobster men say, there should be regulation of fishing practices to bring about greater annual natural production of lobster eggs, the rearing of an increased number of young from the eggs and protection of adults above and below market size. Suitable places should be set aside, it is also suggested, for breeding purposes, and the fishing in such areas should be strictly regulated. The spokesmen for lobster protection also advocate the licensing of all lobster fishermen, the enforcement of specific rules for measuring the crustaceans and the enactment of legislation prescribing sanitary methods of handling and shipping lobster meat. Unless steps toward lobster conservation are taken quickly, dealers in this sea food say, the industry will be irreparably injured. Great Guns Will Protect the Nation's Capital Great Guns Will Protect the Nation's Capital THIS country's most modern fortifications, with 16-inch, 45-caliber guns sweeping the entrance waters of Chesapeake bay, are to be erected at Cape Henry, Virginia, to protect Washington, Baltimore and contiguous ter- The government already has acquired title to the necessary land at Cape Henry at a cost of $181,000. The fortifying of Cape Henry, which carries with it protection against the invasion of Washington in the event of war, has been under consideration for a number of years. In 1906 the so-called Taft board of army experts recommended an outlay of $6,102,871 for the fortifications. Two years ago the subcommittee on fortifications of the house appropriations committee authorized the purchase of the fortifications site at Cape Henry. This appropriation was fathered by Congressman Swager Sherley of Kentucky, chairman of the subcommittee. "No army of Europe has gone up against such fortifications as will be found there," says Mr. Sherley. "The Cape Henry fortifications will be the final word in coast defenses. They will constitute an adequate defense of the Chesapeake bay and the national capital, and I am not afraid they will be overcome by any fleet."

FIRE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT CAST CAPT. F. M. HITE Nashville Fire Department Dear Sir: Having taken your medicine with such care, I am very grateful to you. Several years ago my physicians treated me for indigestion and liver trouble, and was later told by them that an operation would be necessary. I took all kinds of medicines, and was very careful. The pain was such that I was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to hold it in place, which the consensus of opinion was that an operation was necessary. My mind was made up to have same performed, and had to be done. I was advised to have the thoughts and advised me not to go to the expense, trouble and probably loss of life, when a cure could be effected by the medicines from my system including a number of greenish mass from my system including a number of other diseases. I was up and able to perform my friend's services in my case were clouded brain, costed tongue, Nutrition in my case were clouded brain, coated tongue, antimony, on riding in the morning, and gas on my stomach, and iron in my blood.

Matched Three-Piece Set Matched Three Piece Set # A Taupe velvet and opossum fur are used to make this three-piece set, which includes a turban, neckpiece and muff to match. These matched sets are wonderfully chic and elegant when they are well designed. They embody the luxury of fur and the richness of velvet, and admit a greater play of fancy in their designing than is practical for the furrier, who works with furs alone. Plush as well as velvet is used in combination with furs for making matched sets. It has the richness and suppleness of velvet but not as wide a range of successful colors In the set shown in the picture the taupe velvet is very much like the warm gray of the fur next the skin. This gray makes a background for the white and very dark markings which appear in the long hairs. The rakih turban is successful because it is developed in sedate colors. It consists of a crown piece made of a small circle of velvet with a puff shirred about it, and a coronet, which is narrow at the right side but so high at the left that it encroaches upon the Boudoir Caps for Hair Caps for Holiday Dem Boudoir Caps for Holiday Demand THE FILM OF "THE BEST OF THE BEST" Now that the holidays are within hailing distance, those who anticipate the demand for all the pretty trifles of adornment and apparel that women love are preparing their alluring wares. These are being introduced by merchants, with a recommendation of early shopping. Those who are wise enough to save themselves the fatigue of the frantic rush which comes just before Christmas will find any number of gifts already in the shops. The merchant shows many of them to help the sale of the materials used for making them. Neckwear, ribbon, novelties, and pretty boudou caps, fancy aprons and nearly all fancy work are displayed, to suggest to the soft-seeker ways of using materials. Here are two pretty boudoir caps among the numbers that have just emerged from the workroom. They are among those that are easiest to make and are always attractive to Christmas shoppers. The cap made of net has a plaque of teneriffe lace at the center of the crown. This is set on the puffed crown and sewed down about the edge of the wheels. The net may be cut out from under the lace, or a light-colored thin silk may be used instead of net for the crown. The crown and a frill of net are --- # usual position of the crown. A band of fur and two pendant balls of steel beads finish this jaunty but refined bit of headwear. The muff is made by laying the velvet in irregular plaits over a bed and gathering in the ends to achieve the fashionable barrel shape. At each end a pointed cuff of velvet is lined with satin in the same color. A broad band of the fur crosses the front, and a narrow band extends part way about one side. A cluster of little fruits, made of satin in bright colors and covered with silver tricotine, adds a little playful touch of brilliance, posed in the middle of the broad fur band. The neckpiece is merely a band of fur finished with a cuff of velvet, like those on the muff, gathered up and sewed to the end of the band. The ends of the neckpiece overlap and fasten with snap fasteners. These are two very strong points to consider in the matched sets. They unify the costume and they are very inexpensive as compared to fur, just as comfortable and just as elegant looking. Holiday Demand gathered over a narrow band of flat elastic. The frill is cut wider at the back than in front and edged with a very narrow fillet lace edging. A second row is sewed to the frill about an inch back from the front. Two rosettes of narrow satin ribbon are placed near the front to add a bit of color and decoration. This cap may be prettily elaborated by adding a small wreath of tiny chiffon or ribbon roses about the crown or by using wider ribbon in fuller rosettes than those pictured. A clever bonnet of crepe de chine consists of a long, straight piece with pointed ends gathered about a small plaque of lace to form the crown. An edging of val lace is sewed along one edge and about the pointed ends, and the strip gathered in at the back to form the cap. A val insertion is introduced in the cap portion and a bow wide, soft satin ribbon is mounted over the gathering at the back.
