PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Opening Of Y.M. C.A. Building Opening C.A. It was a great evening at the Young Men's Christian Association, 2800 Glenarm place, on Wednesday evening, the 17th inst. Having remodeled their building, the committee of management of the branch threw it open for the inspection of the public. An interesting program was rendered, and great enthusiasm prevailed. Dr. C. D. DeFrantz, chairman of the branch, presided. Governor Carlson was present, and delivered a splendid address. He said it did his heart good to see the colored citizens of Denver starting out to do something for their young men and boys. He advised them to show themselves worthy by helping their young men to develop character and strength. Mr. Wm. E. Sweet, president of the board of directors of the Denver Association, was also present, and made a strong address. He was followed by Mr. Little, also an officer of the association, of whom it was said that he never allowed his faith in the good intentions of the colored people to grow weak. State Secretary Hopkins and General Secretary Lute also spoke. Other addresses were made by Rev. D. E. Over, who spoke on behalf of the ministry of the city, saying that they had voted to stand by the Y. M. C. A. and help in every possible way to make the work a success. Editor Ross of the Star, in a short, vigorous address, represented the colored press of the city. The treasurer's statement was read by Mr. L. H. Lightner, showing the indebtedness of the branch to be $675. The speaking was closed with an address by Secretary Thomas J. Bell, who told of the program of the association. At the conclusion of the speaking, Secretary Lute announced that Mr. Sweet had authorized him to say that he would be responsible for one-half of the indebtedness which had been announced in the treasurer's report. The statement was received with great applause and cheering. The music was furnished by the audience, Miss Ward presiding at the piano. With the building now open, a vigorous campaign for members is now being planned. Seven teams, five of men and two of boys, have been formed, each team consisting of ten men (or boys) each with a captain and a lieutenant. Dr. DeFrantz has been chosen general chairman of the campaign. The campaign will open with a banquet next Wednesday evening, Dec. 1, and will close on Thursday evening, Dec. 9. The teams are going out for 500 men and 100 boys. Membership for men will be $3 a year, with privileges of baths, etc., free, and for boys $1 per year with the same privileges. Mr. Hazeltine, member- ship secretary of the central association, is assisting in the work. It is planned to visit every colored man and every colored boy of association age (13 years and upward) in Denver during the seven days of the campaign. Active co-operation has been promised by the churches and societies of the city. This is one of the most important efforts ever undertaken in Denver, and will doubtless receive the hearty support of all the colored citizens of Denver. Chances for Colored in North Worse Than When Tuskegee First Became Conspicuous. (Boston Traveler, Nov. 15, 1915.) Still An Unsolved Problem. Booker T. Washington was a wise, unusual leader of a race whose problem, fifty years after the close of a civil war which brought about their emancipation, still looms large and menacing. Washington did more for his race in the South than any other man, black or white, could have done. In the North he had thousands of admirers, and his good works were financed largely from this section, while he was liberally, and even generously, supported in New England and elsewhere, he never succeeded in obtaining for the Negroes of the North a wise solution of a problem which is growing more serious year by year. For years after the war the North went into frenzy, especially during political campaigns, over outrages, real and alleged, upon their Colored fellow-citizens in the South. In the North today the Negro has less chance to gain a livelihood about the very humblest levels of employment than he had twenty-five years ago, and only in rare instances does education beyond the prime essentials benefit him in his struggle upward. The death of Booker T. Washington should recall every square-toed American citizen to the fact that, sooner or later, in the North, in New England and in Massachusetts, we must face manfully, and in justice to both races and to the cause of humanity, a problem which we have been cruelly and cowardly dodging. Prejudice Greater in North Than 25 Fair words about the "great American melting pot," as we welcome to our ports all sorts and conditions of men, are all very fine, but what are we going to do about the boys and girls, the men and women, who, born here, reared here, educated here, are turned loose to find the doors of op portunity closed to them as if by constitutional mandate? DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 27, 1915 State Hist & Nut Hist Booetry State House ANTS WHO ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO S A FITTING TRIBUTE St. Mark's Church, Denver, Colo. Nov. 19th, 1915. Mr. Joseph D. D. Rivers, Colorado Statesman, My dear Sir:— In response to your request as to my estimation of Booker T. Washington, deceased—I beg to send you the following: The lifting of the Negro Race is, we might say, the greatest problem that the United States has before it. They, as a whole, have a peculiarity that no other Race has—their ability to fit in with the White man, accepting his customs and tied to his fortunes. In the war of 1860, as well as in countless other crises, they have shown themselves capable of appreciating issues and rising to a level with the White man in sacrifice and devotion; and yet the history of the race is full of discouragement to a much greater degree than white men they are content to slip back into almost African degradation and lose a sense of a future, which is continually the hope of the white race. Mr. Booker Washington will stand always, as the great men of the white race have always stood—as a measure or stature by which the colored men must be judged. He was regarded by all who came in contact with him as religiously, intellectually, and financially the peer of the white men of the South. More than that, his relation to the race encouraged them to follow him to their greatest development. He is therefore, and always must be, a sign of Hope to all interested in the colored race. If it can produce another man and more like him, his memory must always shine like a beacon, encouraging all that love and work for his kind. He had his limitations; one or two incidents in his life showing how with almost perhuman exertion he maintained the level to which his abilities and surroundings elevated him. He will therefore be to workers among colored people an anchor of hope under most discouraging circumstance. His work at Tuskegee is the greatest monument ever erected by a colored man, and the South should endow it, though rich men have given hundreds of thousands to it already, as a perfect memorial of what a colored man can do. JOHN H. HOUGHTON, L L D. Rector St. Marks. PASTOR AND NEGRO New York, Nov 21.—Of unquestioned white parentage, but pastor of a leading Negro church in St. Louis, the Rev. Ferrer Martyn is being sought by the police at the request of Mrs. Sequenia Davis, a Negress. She believes that by finding Martyn she may be able to locate her 19-year-old daughter Vera. Since his disappearance from St. Louis last month it has been learned that Ferrer Martyn frequently posed as a Negro, but there was never any question as to his ancestry, despite his dark complexion, inherited from his mother. In St. Louis, Martyn became pastor of the First Negro Baptist church, and shortly before his departure he induced his congregation to advance him $300 on which to start a lecture tour, which, he promised, would be profitable to the church and would enable it to erect a new building. Then, early in October, Martyn told members of his congregation he had received word of the death of his mother, at her home in Noroton, Conn., and that he was going there to attend the funeral. Soon after he left, ostensibly for Noroton Mrs. Davis reported to the St Louis police that he daughter, a pupil in a Negro high school who sang in the choir of Martyn's church, was gone. PROUD TO BE A NEGO. The great service of Booker T. Washington to his country grew out of his revolutionary attitude toward his race. He was proud to be a Negro. There was no tinge of regret in him that he was not white. He felt that the Negro race had shown remarkable capacity for improvement. Indeed, taking the long view, he doubted whether any other people had ever come up from savagery to civilization in so short a time. Often where people of two grades of civilization have come in contact, the people of the lower grade have been demoralized and wrecked. Mr. Washington was fond of pointing out that the Negro had shown the capacity of assimilating the white man's culture without being destroyed in the process. It is possible to view the Negroes in the light of their worst element, as the Rev. Thomas Dixon has viewed them in "The Birth of a Nation." Booker Washington viewed them in the light of their achievements. He saw the successes of a race just out of slavery, their accumulation of property, their ability to become efficient men and women. The Tuskegee system was adapted from the plans worked out by General Armstrong at Hampton, where Mr. Washington was educated. It was developed in accordance with the fundamental idea of the greatness of the race's possibilities. The goal of Booker Washington was not race amalgamation, but the dwelling of two races side by side under conditions which should produce mutual respect and helpfulness. He looked forward to the time when his people, by their efficiency, their integrity, and their culture, should win the right to an honorable place in the nation's life. The great leader is gone. But his ideals, planted in the hearts of hundreds of young men and women, with whom he came in contact, will continue to live and bear fruit in the generations to come.—Kansas City Star. RACE NEWS Budapest, Hungary. Nov. 20. The only British civilian interned in the whole length and breadth of Hungary is a Negro by the name of Sam Thompson, who would have escaped this distinction if he had not run out of money and the chance of a job. Thompson was visited some days ago by T. D. M. Cardeza of the American embassy in Vienna, who thereupon sent the information thru diplomatic channels to London that Thomson lives in a large, clean, well ventilated building and seemed well satisfied with his lot in Vacz. to occupy the seats designated by him and were refunded their money. They brought suit in a justice court, charging unjust discrimination. That court decided in favor of the theatre manager and an appeal was taken to the circuit court. After being out two hours the jury returned a verdict in favor of sustaining the verdict of the justice court. It is said that a state organization of Colored people is back of the suit, the main purpose of which is to fight against discrimination of Colored citizens in public places. Some points in- Bequests for $1000 each are made to the Church Home for Children, the Day Nursery, the Hampton Normal School, the Booker T. Washington School, the William G. Edwards School, at Snow Hill, Ala., and the Children's Aid Society, in the will of Miss Margaret Newlin, a member of one of Philadelphia's old families, who died on October 1, at 1510 Arch street, leaving property, valued at $105,000. The will was admitted to probate. It gives her interest in the Shipley Farms, in Delaware County to her sisters, Mary and Katherine, and directs that they share in the res. due of the estate with a brother, Thomas.—Philadelphia Tribune. Thomasville, Ga., Nov. 18. Robert Dean, a seven year old Colored boy, voluntarily confessed to the police officers here last Saturday afternoon that he placed a spike and bolt on the tract in the Atlantic Coast Line yards, causing the wreck of the engine of the pay train last Friday night and the death of Engineer Hugh Taylor. The boy stated that he and two little companions were playing near the tract when he placed the bolt and spike on it in a spirit of fun, having no idea that it was dangerous for the trains coming over the track. The little fellow told a very straight story and took all the blame upon himself. He is being held pending instructions from the authorities of the road. Jacksonville, Ill. Nov. 18—A case which probably will reach the supreme court and be a precedent for the future was tried in the circuit here last Friday. The case was that of two Colored women against G. M. Luttrell, manager of a moving picture theatre. Manager Luttrell has been segregating the Colored and the whites in his theater and these women refused NO 15 to occupy the seats designated by him and were refunded their money. They brought suit in a justice court, charging unjust discrimination. That court decided in favor of the theatre manager and an appeal was taken to the circuit court. After being out two hours the jury returned a verdict in favor of sustaining the verdict of the justice court. It is said that a state organization of Colored people is back of the suit, the main purpose of which is to fight against discrimination of Colored citizens in public places. Some points involved in the case have never before been brought up to the courts for decision and John M. Butler, attorney for the Colored women, is of the opinion that a favorable decision by the supreme court will result in Colored people in other states taking up the same issue Louisville, Ky, November 19 — Puzzled by a gleam coming from the teeth of Effie Scott, 45, a Colored woman arrested last Thursday on an insanity charge, jail physicians examined her mouth. They found her front teeth to be of gold, with a small diamond set in each. Later friends told the story of the bejeweled teeth and blamed them for unbalancing of the woman's mind. Effie, they told attaches at the jail, had been at one time a prosperous wash woman. Her surplus earnings, as they accumulated, had been invested in the diamond set teeth, and her smile attained an added brilliance. Then misfortune threw its sinister shadow across Effie's path. Several of the white customers for whom she had done laundry work at renumerative prices, moved away. She lost others and finally her earnings ebbed to such a degree she was forced to take a situation as a cook. In this position her earnings were small, and she was not able to maintain the position in her social set to which she had been accustomed. She worried over her changed fortunes to such an extent, her friends said, that her mind was affected. TRIBUTE BY ROOSEVELT. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Nov. 14.—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt made the following statement tonight on the death of Booker T. Washington: "I am deeply shocked and grieved at the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington. He was one of the distinguished citizens of the United States, a man who rendered greater service to his own race than ever had been rendered by anyone else, and who, in so doing, also rendered great service to the whole country. I mourn his loss and feel that one of the most useful citizens of our land has gone." CONDENSATION OF FRESH NEWS THE LATEST IMPORTANT DISP PATCHES PUT INTO SHORT, CRISP PARAGRAPHS.

Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Peabody, who celebrated a sixtieth anniversary, and Mr. and Mrs. William Davis and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Brunning, married half a century, agreed that the viewpoint of most of the young people of today is responsible for a number of mistaken marriages, and declared the fact that the young women of today did not want children in the home is the reason for much of the unhappiness.

J. Preston Watson of Pueblo, Colo., by the receipt of a letter from Thomas Gannon, an old soldier now residing at Monte Vista, Colo. It was Gannon, then a first lieutenant in the Ninth Missouri cavalry, and later promoted to captain, 54 years ago, who formed a liking for the fugitive colored boy and took him in. Throughout the war, until the close four years later, Watson remained with Gannon. Then they separated with the understanding that Watson was to go to Gannon's home and under his instruction learn the tinner's trade. But alternating circumstances intervened. Although in the years each frequently tried to find a trace of the other, their efforts proved in vain until two years ago Watson, then a veteran pastor who had done nearly 40 years service for the African Methodist church, learned that Captain Gannon was living near Leadville. This being in the district which Watson toured as presiding elder, he renewed his search and finally found Captain Gannon, a feeble, gray haired man, at that time just recovering from an operation. "Of course neither of us knew the other," remarked the Rev. Mr. Watson in telling of the meeting. "When I knew Gannon in war times he was a square shouldered young man with a long black mustache and bushy black hair. Half a century later I found him an old man, little resembling his former self. But the old friendship still was there. He seemed mighty glad to see me, and for two hours we talked over old times. Then later he came to my house and we sat up all night long talking old times." Reminiscently in his letter received a few days ago Mr. Gannon said: "Again I recall an incident—the colored boy who wandered into camp, a fugitive from slavery, meek, humble, seeking protection. My boys in blue treated him with kindness and sympathy and I soon realized his faithful services; honest, truthful and diligent, employing his leisure moments in the efforts to learn to read that he might be helpful to his fellow freemen. Now, how well he has succeeded. From a humble servant to a devoted servant of the Lord and zealous in the uplift of his people." Born near Lynchburg Va., Watson was sold when a baby with his mother to Robert Barnett Bowling Green, Pike county, Mo. When four years old his mother died and from that time until ten he was sold five times on the auction block in Missouri. Educated through his own of forts entirely, Rev. Mr. Watson is one of the prominent retired pastors of his church in the West. He has lived in Pueblo, first 20 years ago and again for the last nine years, and has been pastor of both the St. Paul's and St. John's A. M. E. churches. Mrs. Watson is superintendent of the colored orphanage at Pueblo. When white men discuss the Indian problem the discussion generally has to do with a scheme to get the Indian's money. An optimist is a man who makes a living in town. A pessimist is one who earns his on a farm. "Banneker, the Negro astronomer," was born at Elliott's Mills, Maryland, a few miles from Baltimore, several years before the Revolutionary war. He learned to read while doing farm work and managed to study and become quite proficient in mathematics. In his study of astronomy he was encouraged and assisted by Andrew Elliott, an astronomer and civil engineer of scientific attainments and founder of Elliott's mills and connected with some large enterprises. Elliott was a friend of Washington and when he was employed to survey the District of Columbia and locate the city of Washington he gave employment to Banneker. After this Banneker made astronomical calculations and published almanacs which were used in Maryland and some other states. Thomas Jefferson sent one of the almanacs to the French Academy of Sciences and the secretary of the navy wrote Banneker a complimentary letter. He died in Baltimore in 1806 and many scientific societies bore testimony to the correctness of his mathematical and astronomical work. Many years after his death, J. H. B. La- Every community produces a citizen or two whose chief ambition is to make a living exhibiting a five-legged calf. A woman can get more into a trunk, but a man has something "on" her when it comes to stowing a derby hat safely in a suitcase. What, mentioning him quite casually, became of the old-fashioned man who referred to the Bible as "the Word?" In a communication to the Houston Post D. Porter, principal of the Brenham Normal and Industrial college, writes: Prof. E. L. Blackshear, with his dogged tenacity has succeeded in organizing some of the best Negro farmers in Texas into a 'farmers' congress," having them to come annually and spend from six to eight days in our state school, where they can get strong help by the way of lectures and coming in contact with the actual experimental work that cultivates them a strong love for their farms and at the same time broadening their views upon the plans of getting better results from their many productive farms. And many of our boys are laying their diplomas in the bottom of their trunks and taking a part with their fathers in the development of their farms. They are no longer looking at labor as a disgrace, but are rolling up their sleeves, and taking a part in the various communities in whatever vocation they find best to be pursued and are thereby making home worth while. This kind of teaching was the end in mind of the founders of our state school. Blackshear is a southern Negro, and thoroughly understands southern conditions and his constant lectures and conversations with the students of that institution have so thoroughly fitted them not with a prejudiced mind to his brother in white, but with a knowledge to go, hand in hand with his neighbor in the various duties of life without the least friction. No one during Blackshear's principalship has heard of a single Prairie View student having the least trouble with any of our white citizens and we have hundreds of them going out on various roads at the close of that school. Now, I was born and reared in Texas, and would not live anywhere else. Have tried to teach 22 years, and do believe that if there is any one man in Texas that knows anything about that state and the kind of teaching necessary and best fitted for our people, I should know something about it. I have for the last 10 or 12 years spend much of my time traveling and talking to many of our country teachers' institutions, and I find that a large number or a very large per cent of these teachers are from Prairie View. I have made it my business to talk with each superintendent as to the work, and as to how these teachers get along with their white neighbors. Uncle Tom and Aunt Nancy, Uncle Jim and Aunt Susan who the old pioneers had the highest regard for, are all passing from the stage of the living and the young Negro is coming on the scene. He has to have that teaching that will enable him to live in perfect harmony with his white brother. Not every criminal leaves a trail. The miscreant who invented bean soup covered his tracks so carefully that he never was apprehended. Men are a good deal like horses in the respect that the thoroughbred should be picked for speed and the scrub for service. Another precedent has been overturned by a Kansas bachelor. He was in a hospital six weeks a couple of years ago and did not marry the trained nurse who attended him. trode, a prominent citizen of Baltimore and for a long time connected with the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, wrote a memoir of Banneker which was published by the Maryland Historical society. A large newspaper plant in Philadelphia has recently been taken over by a company of colored men, who are preparing to issue a weekly paper for circulation in a number of different cities. Arrangements have been made for its distribution in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, and thirty other cities within a twelve-mile radius of Philadelphia are expected to be included in its circulation. This is the first large newspaper enterprise ever undertaken entirely by colored men, and the purpose of the paper is the general uplift of the colored race. The undertaking is well financed, and will embody the highest ideals of race journalism. The paper is to be controlled, edited and printed entirely by colored men. The printing plant includes every labor-saving and cost-cutting device known in the newspaper world. Something like 40,000,000 barrels of beer are brewed in the United Kingdom every year.

In the life of our beloved leader, Booker T. Washington devolves on us to see that the life is carried on successfully, being a monument or decay. Suggestions have been made relative to the time from which would be sufficient to meet the Tuskegee Institute. We admire that may be put forward, and as ours with this noble work, we hope there will be a permanent fund for the upkeep of this institute for the nation and chiefly our people. The great man and to bless his memory every sympathy with his work should not hesitate of their ability to this cause of which they while Washington's life is ended here, he cease him in the rank of the immortals. Fueled him by all classes and the press of the usefulness was acknowledged far and far by John H. Houghton, "His memory must allow urging all that love and work for his kind or two incidents in his life showing how extortion, me maintained the level to which things elevated him. He will therefore end people an anchor of hope under most of His work at Tuskegee is the greatest man, and the South should end given hundreds of thousands to it already that a colored man can do." Seeing the reason and his work have been given we feel as so measured to the standard of the colon and entire respect. His life is ended yet will he live in our heart faced from our memory, and if the good is set by him be followed by us there is no better relationship will exist among us or future will be in store for us and posted needs of this great and good man be up to we may steer away from the shoals and harbor of safety where all delight to enjoy the gentlemen of Colorado who so kind life of our deeply lamented leader, and negro race who are disciples of so illustrious to keep sacred the wise teachings and saffitted himself for a specific purpose, lived,ished, and our endeavors will be to keep killed so that generations after will be told by self-denial and sacrifice determined to all he paved the way for the success of a pe Now that the life of our beloved leader, Booker T. Washington, is closed, an obligation devolves on us to see that the work which he accomplished is carried on successfully, being a monument that will never crumble or decay. Many suggestions have been made relative to the creation of a fund, the income from which would be sufficient to meet the financial requirements of the Tuskegee Institute. We admire and heartily endorse any plan that may be put forward, and as our sympathy was and is always with this noble work, we hope there will be no difficulty in raising a permanent fund for the upkeep of this institution that has done so much for the nation and chiefly our people. To show our respect for this great man and to bless his memory every member of the Negro race in sympathy with his work should not hesitate to contribute to the best of their ability to this cause of which there is none more worthy, as while Washington's life is ended here, his gift to the nation will place him in the rank of the immortals. From the numerous tributes paid him by all classes and the press of the country it is evident that his usefulness was acknowledged far and wide and in the words of Dr. John H. Houghton, "His memory must always shine like a beacon encouraging all that love and work for his kind. He had his limitations; one or two incidents in his life showing how, with almost superhuman exertion, me maintained the level to which his abilities and surroundings elevated him. He will therefore be to workers among colored people an anchor of hope under most discouraging circumstances. His work at Tuskegee is the greatest monument ever erected by a colored man, and the South should endow it, though rich men have given hundreds of thousands to it already, as a perfect memorial of what a colored man can do." Seeing the recognition that Dr. Washington and his work have been given we feel proud that one of our race has so measured to the standard of the other as to win their admiration and entire respect. Though his life is ended yet will he live in our hearts for all time, never to be effaced from our memory, and if the good examples and high standards set by him be followed by us there is every reason to believe that a better relationship will exist among us in this country and a brighter future will be in store for us and posterity. Let the deeds of this great and good man be uppermost in our minds so that we may steer away from the shoals and our ship be guided to that harbor of safety where all delight to enter. The Colorado Statesman takes this opportunity of offering its sincere thanks to the gentlemen of Colorado who so kindly commented on the useful life of our deeply lamented leader, and on behalf of those of the Negro race who are disciples of so illustrious a character, pledges itself to keep sacred the wise teachings and sayings of a man who, having fitted himself for a specific purpose, lived to see it partially accomplished, and our endeavors will be to keep alive the flame which he kindled so that generations after will be told with pride of a leader who by self-denial and sacrifice determined to leave no stone unturned until he paved the way for the success of a people, a country and a nation.

The countless blessings that have been bestowed on us for the year past make our hearts swell with gratitude to Him who is the giver of all things. Our state and city have not only met with a fair share of prosperity, but indications at present point to an all-round increase and betterment in trade, etc. At this time we are specially thankful for the peace of our country. Even though warring nations have endeavored to get us in the terrible struggle that prevails in Europe, yet our government is guiding us with a firm and steady hand so as to hinder us from being participants in what will be recorded as the most ghastly event the world had ever witnessed. The farmers tell us of bountiful crops this season; the merchants aver that an unusual business was done over their counters, and every phase of trade seemed to increase by leaps and bounds. In our line we have gotten a share of prosperity, for which we are more than thankful, and in our celebration of the day last Thursday we did not forget our gratitude for the help and support given us by our advertisers and subscribers. Let everyone therefore be thankful, as whether the gifts were large or small during the past year we possibly were in a better position than some of our fellow men in other parts of the country. For all Thy gifts we thank Thee, Gracious God! PROGRAM OF MEMORIAL SERVICES IN HONOR OF DR. BOOKER WASHINGTON. Held in Shorter A. M. E.

INVOLVED IN LIBERIAN ROW Washington, Oct. 25. — The African Republic of Liberia, founded as a refuge for American freedmen, has become the center of a controversy between the allies and Germany which has involved the United States. The British government discovered that a Liberian company financed by German capital had erected a powerful wireless station in Monrovia, the capital. A cable connects Monrovia with Pernambuco, Brazil. German representatives in various parts of the world have been sending messages to German agents in Pernambuco, who relayed them to Monrovia, from where they were transmitted by wireless to Germany. Great Britain protested against this unneutral course of the Monroviian government, but received little satisfaction. A British man-of-war was sent to Monrovia. The president of the republic, Daniel Howard, at once sent an appeal to President Wilson to intervene. Secretary of State Lansing requested the withdrawal of the British warship. Great Britain complied, but pointed out that something had to be done in order to prevent Liberia from committing further violations of neutrality. In compliance with this suggestion, Secretary Daniels has ordered the cruiser Chester to proceed to Monrovia. In addition, the State Department has deemed it expedient to send a new minister to Monrovia to replace George W. Buckner, who is ill. The man selected is James L. Curtis, a prominent Colored Democrat of New York, who will start at once for his new post. Liberia as a result of the development of wireless, has assumed an importance which the belligerents have not overlooked. In the development of this African state the American government has always manifested a peculiar interest. This government some years ago joined with Great Britain, France and Germany in taking control of the finances, military organization, agriculture and boundary questions of Liberia. An American was appointed in charge of finances and he was assisted by English, French and German deputies. It is apparent, therefore, that the United States has a moral responsibility for the conduct of Liberia, which may prove embarrassing. If Liberia persists in permitting German agents to use the wireless Great Britain will have sound reason to take action. It may be necessary to notify Liberia that if she continues to violate neutrality the United States can not continue to give her moral support. Before this stage is reached, however, it is probable that naval officers, serving on the Chester, will assume control of the wireless station at Monrovia. This could be done, of course, only if requested by the Liberian authorities. Chicago, Nov. 18-14 a quarter of a million sturdy Filipinos, 50,000 of them as thoroly trained as any soldiers in the world, would support the United States if necessity arose, according to Dr P. J. H. Farrell, president of the Army and Navy club of Chicago and former surgeon general of the army Philippines, in an address today. He said the Filipinos have the type of courage that never fears death, and said their co operation would be invaluable in a crisis. NEGRO YEAR BOOK. Should be in the home of every Negro.

WE WELCOME commercial competition, but it truly is impossible to combat adverse weather conditions. This season has been without precedent in that we did not have a single winter day until November. Now the weather has turned again to mild days. The normal selling season for overcoats is September, October, November and December. Here it is the middle of November and we have only six weeks left to do a four months' business. Our clothing buyer, full of optimism, placed heavier orders than ever before, anticipating that winter would come in the natural course of events. Cold, severe days will come, but we cannot wait longer for them. We must create an immediate demand for these men's and young men's overcoats. Nothing will create that demand except radical price concessions. So we face the situation squarely and make those price reductions that will "move" these thousands of overcoats. That, frankly, is the reason for this sale. For a One Dollar Deposit We will lay aside any overcoat selected from this splendid assortment and keep it pressed and ready for you whenever you may want it. $25.00----$28.00 Fancy Overcoats $18.50 $40.00----$45.00 Fancy Overcoats $27.00 The home news; the doings of the people in this town; the gossip of our own community, that's the first kind of reading matter you want.

Mr. Rollins had quite a large circle of friends who, with his mother and other relatives, are left to mourn his loss. The Colorado Statesman extends its deepest sympathy to the bereaved family. The Knights of Pythias entertainment held last Tuesday evening at East Turner hall was quite a success. The management did all in its power to offer a delightful time to the patrons and this they succeeded in doing. After dancing to the strains of Morrison's, orchestra until the wee sma' hours of the morning the gathering dispersed with nothing but praise for the event. Frank Burnley, manager of the Railroad Men and Waiters' Club, in his annual treat to the members, again came in for much commendation for his hospitality to fifty of the members of the club. Two tables on which gay thanksgiving birds were served, groaned under the visitors, who did justice to the well-prepared dishes. This event is always looked upon as one of the pleasant hours in Manager Burnley's career, and has made him quite a favorite in the city. Roy Reed, who was the chef of the occasion, demonstrated his ability in a marked degree in the culinary art, which was another surprise for the boys. An added feature of this grand event was a "vaudeville stunt" by the popular comedian, Dick Butler of Western fame, which delighted the guests. Music was furnished by members of the club. Hann's Jubilee Singers will make their first appearance in Denver in the auditorium of Shorter chapel, A.M. E. church, Monday evening, Nov. 29th. This company has made several tours around the world and is popular in Europe and America alike. These singers represent the finest production of the race along their line, and since Denver can always be counted on when a high-class entertainment is offered, an overflow audience is expected to greet these famous singers. BUTLER-JOHNSON WEDDING. A pretty little wedding in which Mr. Harvey G. H. Butler and Miss Carrie L. Johnson were the contracting parties, took place at 919 Twenty-second street, the residence of the newly-weds. Quite a number of valuable presents were received and many guests were present to witness the event. William Knight at the piano delighted the guests with dance music. Dainty refreshments were served. Mr. Butler is employed by the O. P. Baur Company in the silver and linen room as assistant to Owen Caswell, the veteran caterer. The Colorado Statesman wishes Mr. and Mrs. Butler a long life of connubial bliss. THE CHARITY BALL.

The union Thanksgiving service, held at Zion last Thursday, was a great success. Dr. Bell of the Y. M. C. A. preached a great sermon. In the afternoon the Pulpit Aid served a fine church dinner. The energy of these ladies always means success for their undertakings. An excellent program was rendered in the evening by the Young People's Union. The most interesting feature was a competitive drill by two sets of twelve girls each. Both deserved the prize. Mrs. Holloway is to be commended for this enterprise. Mr. H. J. M. Brown presented to the church a very handsome eight-day clock, in memory of his beloved wife, who passed away one year ago this month. This beautiful gift is accepted gratefully by the church.

Representatives of the famous Hann's Jubilee Singers will render a number at the morning service, which will be listened to with the greatest interest by the large audience attracted. Shorter will observe Thanksgiving rally tomorrow when every member of the congregation will be expected to contribute generously.

Indigestion follows rye bread only because of the yeast in it. The temperature of the intestines is the most favorable possible for producing a renewed "rising" of the yeast, and through this chemical process the intestines are poisoned, and other foods, notably the acids from fruits and some vegetable, add to the trouble. THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY ```markdown ``` --- The sweet charm of youth is most fittingly expressed in this pretty dress frock of dotted swiss. It makes no pretense to cleverness or originality, and needs no excuse for lacking them. It is graceful and beautiful and might be copied with good effect in taffeta, silk, muslin, point d'esprit, net, or chiffon. It is an American inspiration, embodying points that we like to emphasize in the party frocks for young girls. The skirt is rather full, and slashed about the bottom. The slashes are bound with ribbon, which may be in a light color. A ruching hemmed at the edges and gathered on two shirring threads is festooned on the skirt, midway of its length. A soft underbodice, with elbow sleeves, is made of chiffon and finished with a wide V-shaped opening at the front and back of the neck. A soft lace edging is sewed to the edge of this opening, and the sleeves are finished with a ruching made like that on the skirt. The overbodice is fulled on the shoulders and draped in surplice effect, with long arm's eyes. It slips easily over the underbodice, and a ruching, with three shirrings, forms the girdle. It fastens at the left side under two chiffon roses, and two similar roses are set on the left shoulder. Gay dance frocks, combining several light-colored nets, are made with ribbon-bound floures or with godets Corsage Flowers Th Designed to adorn the corsage of the afternoon or evening gown, to nestle in the close-fitting fur neckpiece or to add a final touch of elegance and color to the muff, the corsage bouquet is blooming in the sunlight of increasing flavor. In truth, it is cleverer than ever, but rarely deserves the name of a bouquet. Single flowers, or a flower and bud, made of ribbon or velvet set in millinery foliage, or large millinery flowers with ribbon in the same color as their foliage tied about the stems, make up the big majority of these exquisite accessories. The dark colors that are favored this season, and the furore for furs, make it possible for the corsage flower to appear at its best. In street and visiting toilettes they form exactly the right background for it. And the corsage bouquet is as much at home with evening dress as natural flowers are. The new "vanity corsage" or "vanity flower," is shown in the group of blossoms pictured here. It includes two roses, made of ribbon set in millinery foliage, and a conventional lahilia, with maidenhair fern and rose collage. The fourth flower is not meant for the corsage, but is set on the dressing table. It is a beautiful receptacle for one of the small feminine vanities, for each of these dow- contrasting in color. A pretty model has a foundation skirt of white net finished at the bottom with a scant ruffle of white net bound with narrow white satin ribbon. Above this is a flounce of light blue bound with blue ribbon. A flounce of pink overlaps the blue, and one of pale yellow finishes the series. Three groups of flouces, with the colors arranged in this order, cover the skirt, and the waist employs the colored nets as a drapery over the white net in an underdress. Another model in colored nets has a short and widely flaring skirt in which rose color and black and tan tulle are used with white. The different colors are set about the waist and extend to the bottom of the skirt in godets, with colors alternating. The bodice is draped, and a wide girdle of rich brocaded ribbon completes the design. Its colors carry out the wonderful color scheme in the gown. Besides the use of several colors in one gown, designers of dance frocks have achieved some lovely flowerlike effects by uniting three shades of one color in silk gowns. A coral-colored taffeta has a full short skirt with wide ruchings at the bottom in two deeper shades of coral. Ribbons figure conspicuously in the newest models and skirts are pointed or scalloped or slashed about the bottom, with narrow ribbon bindings that help set off the feet of the dancer to the best possible advantage. ings of Rare Beauty ers is more than it seems, and has another good reason, besides that of being beautiful, for appearing among the belongings of fair women. in the heart of each is a small box of French powder in the form of a tiny cake. The little flat powder puff fits in the box and is hidden by the petals or stamens of the flower. These vanity flowers are captivating and very convenient. They make fine holiday gifts. Julia Bottomley New Flowered Ribbons. The new ribbons are lovely, some flowered, some striped, some plain with picot edge. Others show an edge of gold or silver, following the trend of fashion for all things metallic. Double-face ribbons are smart, showing two colors, and one side of satin, the other of moire or faille. Evening gowns are trimmed with ribbon, tailored and perky bows are made of them, negliges are bound with ribbon. Plaid ribbon in inch width trims the new fall blouses of georgette crepe or net, and forms a bow and band to hold the high collar in position. A similar band and bow holds the sleeves in at the wrist. --- LIQUOR DEALERS QUIT TWENTY PER CENT OF STORES NOW OUT OF BUSINESS. Colorado State Treasurer's Office Has Refunded $6,860 on 1915 Licenses Surrendered to Date. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver—Approximately 20 per cent of the persons and firms that held licenses at the beginning of the present year have since discontinued the selling of liquor, according to figures compiled by the state treasurer's office, which has charge of the issuance and collection of state liquor licenses. The list includes both saloons and drug stores. In Denver seventy-two saloons have gone out of business, while 106 drug-gists have surrendered their licenses. Outside of this city 106 saloons have quit business and fifty-seven drug-gists have ceased to sell liquor. Under provisions of a law passed by the last Legislature the state treasurer is authorized to make refunds on liquor licenses that extend beyond Jan. 1, 1916, when Colorado becomes "dry." It is estimated by Treasurer Stocker that $6,860.15 will be paid back to about 1,100 persons and firms. The average annual revenue from state liquor licenses has been between $50,000 and $55,000. Up to Nov. 1 of this year, however, collections from this source have been only $29,521.16. Figures compiled by the treasurer's office indicate that the state revenue cut off by reason of prohibition in Colorado will be between $20,000 and $25,000. Collects $8,489 Inheritance Tax. Denver.—During the past two weeks a total of $8,489 in taxes has been collected by Leslie E. Hubbard, state inheritance tax appraiser. The largest tax collected was $1,934.60 on the estate of N. B.

Water Right Values Ruling Sustained. Water Right Values Ruling Sustained. Denver,—Federal Judge R. E. Lewis of the United States District Court in an informal discussion of the report of Special Master W. J. Chinn, concerning the rate-fixing legislation between the Denver Union Water Company and the city, declared that the inclusion of water rights valuation in the appraisal of the system was justified. This opinion came as a result of the objection of Attorney George L. Nye of the Public Utilities Commission, who insisted that the $2,944,617 allowed for water rights in the report was not proper. The objections of the water company attorney, however, to the total valuation of $13,415,899 was dismissed by Judge Lewis on the ground that the water company had been sustained in the only question before the court—that of equitable basis of the present water rates. Carlson Lauds Women's Show. State and city officials and representative citizens assisted Governor Carlson in the opening exercises of the Prosperity Exposition given under the auspices of the State Federation of Women's Clubs at the Denver Auditorium. The governor paid tribute to the executive ability of the women who planned and staged the exposition. Funds for Central City Road. The state highway commission appropriated $10,000 to be used by Clear Creek county in the construction of a road between Idaho Springs and Central City. One-half of this amount will be available for expenditure next year and one-half during the succeeding year. Thomas Takes Oath. C. E. Thomas of Colorado Springs, who was appointed by Governor Carlson a member of the state board of examiners of architects, took his oath of office. Three Counties to Get Water. State Engineer Welland approved the plans of the Apishapa Consolidated Irrigation Company for a dam across the Apishapa river that will be the highest earthen dam in the state. Work upon the structure, which will be 115 feet in height, has already been begun by the contractor. Twenty thousand acres of land in three counties will be irrigated from the storage or water the dam will make possible. The land is situated in Pueblo, Otero and Las Animas counties.

In the picture a dresser set is shown, including a scarf, pincushion and candle shade. The cretonne shows a red rose and green foliage against a black and white striped ground. So decided a pattern is to be most sparingly used, and the scarf is therefore only bordered with the cretonne. A square pincushion is covered first on one side with a small square of the cretonne sewed smoothly over it. For the other side it considerably larger square is hemmed about the edges and pinned over the cushion. The candle shade is made over a wire frame and consists of a circular piece stretched over the top and sewed to place.

RED CROSS PLEA MADE BY WILSON Do You Know That- PRESIDENT ASKED MONEY AS THANKSGIVING OFFERING TO AID IN WORK. $1,600,000 IS RAISED EXECUTIVE DECLARES MORE MONEY NEEDED TO KEEP DOCTORS IN WORK. Western Newpaper Union News Service. Washington.—A Thanksgiving appeal to Americans in the comfort of plenty to renew their efforts to alleviate suffering throughout Europe's vast war area by contributions to the Red Cross was issued Wednesday night by President Wilson. Under the caption, "An Appeal," it says: IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF "The day is at hand on which we bend our thoughts toward a consideration of the blessings of peace and security. Inevitably, the contemplation of our own good fortune must bring sharply to mind the anguish and the loss will lie, an intolerable and crushing burden, upon the bodies and souls of our neighbors across the seas. Our country has poured out generously of its sympathy and its means in behalf of those who suffer because of the war. But the harvest of death and desolation is not ended and our sympathy must not yet withdraw its hand. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY "The American Red Cross, through whose instrumentality hundreds of thousands of our people have been enabled to give substantial expression to their pity for those who have fallen under the stroke of war, is nearing the exhaustion of its resources. Into its war relief fund it has received, in round sum, $1,600,000. In the sending and maintaining of nearly 400 surgeons, nurses and sanitaries, who have carried American skill into all the zone of war, in financial aid for the hospitals and other Red Cross institutions, and in the purchase and transportation of nearly 4,000,000 pounds of hospital and medical supplies and equipment, this sum has been reduced to less than $50,000 now available to meet the great demands of the approaching winter.

"That the splendid work of this organization, which, more than any other, represents the sympathy of us all, should be permitted to cease, is unthinkable. "I, therefore, earnestly call upon the people of the United States once again, by their generosity, to assure the Red Cross against the curtailment or discontinuance of the large activities in which it is engaged. That this assurance is urgent is shown by the comparatively small sum remaining in its treasury—a sum which, however closely it may be husbanded, will suffice for but a few weeks.

London.—The Greek government replied to the allied powers' note, according to a dispatch to Reuter's Telegram Company, which adds: "It is understood that the reply agrees not to disarm the allied forces, gives them liberty of action on Greek territory, for their own security, and accords railway and telegraphic facilities. The government only makes reserves regarding a further examination of certain details.

DENVER 35c DAY OR NIGHT We Use Best Leather SALADS TOO LITTLE USED Really They Should Be Given a Very Prominent Place in Meals Served to the Family. Salads are capable of infinite variety, so when fish and cheese fail vegetables which approach animal foods in nutrition may be served, and either the oil in the dressing or the fat in the cream or melted butter of a boiled dressing be depended upon to supply the necessary oil. Try a corn salad. A pound of this vegetable contains as much protein as is found in half a pound of lamb chops or half a dozen eggs. Cool freshly boiled corn, also some rice (dried in the oven until the grains separate), salt slightly and mix them in equal quantities; fold in some stiff mayonnaise and serve very cold in lettuce cups. Beans, peas and lentils, which are all so rich in protein, are very desirable for salads in place of meat. Cover two cups of cold baked beans with French dressing and let stand a half hour; drain, sprinkle with half a teaspoonful of onion juice, mix with cream dressing, arrange on lettuce leaves and garnish with parsley and hard-cooked eggs. Lentils combined with onions, peppers and parsley, and served on cress with French dressing, make a hearty and tasty salad. A fruit salad has the added advantage of being very healthful, for nearly all fruits hold acids and salts in solution which are cooling to the blood, and there are so many fruits available that none needs to become tiresome. Pears, as a salad possibility once tried, will appear often this way: Peel large pears, halve them, remove the cores and drop them into cold water in which is a tablespoonful of vinegar to keep them white. Fill the core cavity with either grated cheese or cream cheese balls and serve on lettuce with French dressing. Purple egg plums may be used instead of pears, with lemon juice substituted for vinegar in the dressing. The stone cavity of peaches filled with chopped nuts and arranged on lettuce with mayonnaise is very tasty. A pretty salad can be made from watermelon or cantaloupe by scooping out with a large spoon pieces from the ripest parts, draining, chilling and serving in lettuce cups with French dressing. When mayonnaise is used with fruits, leave out the mustard and pepper, put in a little sugar and use lemon instead of vinegar always. In no case should a boiled acid dressing be used with fruit salad. Chocolate Rice Pudding. Wash and soak a large tablespoonful of rice, then cover with a pint of milk and add a pinch of salt and place in a very moderate oven. Cook slowly for an hour stirring in the crust that will form once or twice during that time. Then add a pint of milk which has been brought to the boiling point with a square of unsweetened chocolate and a cupful of light brown sugar, flavor with half a teaspoonful of vanilla and continue baking for an hour longer. Do not stir the last half hour. Serve hot or cold. "Oil" With Kerosene. When a sewing machine works heavily, take out the thread and oil every part of the machine thoroughly with kerosene. Work briskly for some minutes, so that the kerosene may do its work of loosening all the old oil and grime, and then wipe carefully with a soft, old duster. When the kerosene has been removed, oil the machine again with lubricating machine oil, and it will then work perfectly. Be sure and use the lubricant oil after using the kerosene. Spanish Fish Pie. Cold fish, olive oil, one clove of garlic, red pepper, tarragon vinegar, tomatoes, catchup. Bone the fish, warm it in olive oil with the garlic, pepper and tarragon vinegar. Butter a piedish, put in some sliced cooked tomatoes and a little tomato catchup; lay the fish on this. Put into the oven for five minutes until quite hot, then serve. French Fried Sweet Potatoes. Pare and cut raw sweet potatoes into slices lengthwise, making the slices about half an inch thick. Prepare two pans of fat, one of moderate temperature, the other boiling hot. Drop a few of the potatoes at a time in the cooler fat and cook through, then skim them out and place in the hot fat to brown. Drain on paper, sprinkle with salt and serve hot. For Kitchen Floors Take a cloth and pour on it some denatured alcohol, enough to wet cloth, then pour on some linseed oil, then on that pour more alcohol. Then take your cloth and rub it together just as you do when starching clothes and use it on your kitchen floor. It is excellent for cleansing and polishing. Onions Cooked in Milk Onions soaked for an hour in cold water and then slowly cooked until tender in milk and served with melted butter make a very delicate vegetable for a meal. Good Silver Polish Use a little peroxide on a flannel, then rub on a little soap, and polish with a soft cloth. This is an easy method, and one that will keep silver clean much longer than most polishes. For Soiled Matting. For Soiled Matting.

CART ROMAN CHEMICAL CO.: DEAR SIRS: Having taken your medicine with such good results, I wish to inform you what effect it had upon me. 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, with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to hold a consultation, at which the consensus of opinion was that an operation would be the only relief for me. My mind was made up to have same performed, and had decided to go to an infirmary, but a friend heard of my intentions and advised me not to go to the expense, trouble and probably the loss of my life, when a cure could be effected by the use of your Remedy. I took a bottle which swept a greenish mass from my system, including a number of genuine gall stones. Thank heaven, I took my friend's advice about your wonderful Stomach and Liver Preparation. Symptoms in my case were clouded brain, coated tongue, sluggish on rising in the morning, had gas on my stomach, and oftentimes had pains in my side and back. I write this hoping it may reach some person who is suffering from stomach and liver trouble. Am employed by the Nashville Fire Department and will always recommend your medicine.
