THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO AND NEW MEXICO Colored Citizens' League VOL. XX11. Colored Citiz Strongly Support Pa This organization, in the celebration of its first anniversary held recently, among other things reserved the right to be free, unbias and unprejudice in dealing with the political aspect of its four hundred members, and in its usual way of lending a helping hand to those of our city and state who strive to maintain their rights as American citizens, comes forward after thoroughly reviewing the issues before them and strongly advocates the politics of the Republican party. Having the interests of the people at heart, there is only one successful way of reasoning out the various important questions that are presented for their approval or disapproval, and that way is by and through an organization that is well equipped with all the resources for supply when called into action. This is the purpose of the Citizens League in their acquirement of a suite of rooms at 2566 Washington street, the same being nicely furnished and every accommodation offered for public meetings, committee meetings, caucuses, etc., showing thereby the USEFULNESS OF THE LEAGUE. The preparing to combat with all matters affecting the people's welfare, the influential part played in recommending deserving citizens for employment in the service of the city, or with responsible corporations or firms; the stern opposition to vice and immorality and the determination to assist the authorities in carrying out the law, so that our city will be admired as a terror to evil-doers and our state an attraction to investors and business enterprises, are among some of the useful actions engaged. The League provides entertainment for discussions on the social, economic and political topics of the country at large, but specially relating to our city, first, and extends a hearty welcome to persons who have not out-lived their usefulness, or have reached the valueless stage in the community to join our ranks as our standard is of the highest type and our success is insured against the criticism of knockers on account of the HARMONY EXISTING AMONG ITS MEMBERS. One of the greatest, if not the greatest essentials to the stability of any organization is the harmonious working existing as a whole among its members. While in debates, convincing arguments, display of members mental powers, differences or opinion, etc., one may assume dissent sion, yet from the spirit permeating the discussions, the conclusion does not interfere in the least degree with the original harmonious feeling for lack of this quality so necessary to the upkeep of any institution for the benefit of humanity, we have noted with much regard the rise and fall of other organizations that started with and after this, and although possessing some brilliant minds and characters, yet were abandoned, as their inharmonious chords could produce nothing but the effect of uselessness and discord. Being therefore the only existing all-round organization that is looked upon by the people as an independent agent of instruction in our civic rights and liberties in this state, we have so impressed the city officials as to obtain recognition from the city commissioners, chief of whom is the Hon. L. C. Greenlee, who has not only made provisions for our people in the department that comes under his control, but who has made it possible among his associate commissioners to give us appointments on their staff and in positions under them. Republican Politics. It is made to be clearly understood in the League that no member is forced, or is it imperative to adopt a policy that is contrary to his conscience, but politics which requires the most careful study (as an art on science) must be treated from an angle of facts, which, when presented in a plain and unmistakable manner, would surely offer the wisest course to be adopted by members, and after pursuing this course, the unanimous opinion of the members is to hold fast to the ideals of the politics of the Republican party, whose motto is "All for one and one for all." The reasonableness for throwing in their lot with the Booth Charter Amendment, even though the election is supposed to be non-partisan, is shown in the attitude taken from the unfair and un-American treatment offered by not only the Democratic party, but the average Democrat to the unfortunate class we represent, impressing the Colored Citizens' League with the adage "A burnt child dreads the fire." In supporting Republican party politics, the League is satisfied that it can and will allow its ship to be guided under the captaincy of a skipper who stands for the true and lofty ideals of an America, under whose flag our freedom, loyalty and unswerving devotion are combined. A link in the chain. DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1916 EXPLANATION OF THE BALLOT ON TUESDAY, MAY 9, THE ELECTORS OF THIS CITY WILL BE CALLED UPON TO MAKE A CHOICE OF ONE OF THREE AMENDMENTS PROPOSING A NEW CHARTER FOR DENVER. ONE PROPOSES A CHANGE OF OUR PRESENT GOVERNMENT TO BE FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER ELECTION FOR OFFICERS, WHILE THE OTHER TWO NAME CANDIDATES FOR THE PRINCIPAL OFFICERS AT THE SAME ELECTION. VOTERS, ESPECIALLY THE PEOPLE OF OUR RACE, ARE ADVISED TO UNDERSTAND CLEARLY WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO, AND FOR THIS REASON WE OFFER THIS EXPLANATION SO THAT THEY MAY NOT BE CONFOUNDED OR MAKE COMPLICATIONS FOR THEMSELVES. EACH AMENDMENT WILL HAVE TWO DIVISIONS—"FOR" AND "AGAINST." TO COUNT A FULL VOTE. A VOTER MUST VOTE FOR ONE AND AGAINST THE OTHER TWO, OR AGAINST THE THREE AMENDMENTS; BUT IF THE VOTER PLACES HIS X FOR ONE AMENDMENT AND IS INDIFFERENT, LETTING THE OTHERS GO, THEN IN THE FINAL COUNT IT WOULD ONLY BE A PART OF A VOTE. IT MUST ALSO BE UNDERSTOOD THAT IN THIS ELECTION THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR PREFERENTIAL VOTING, THAT IS, THE QUESTION BEFORE THE ELECTORS IS THE AMENDMENTS, SO THAT YOU CANNOT VOTE FOR AN AMENDMENT AND SCRATCH A CANDIDATE—THE VOTE FOR ANY AMENDMENT BEING FOR ALL THE NAMES CONNECTED THEREWITH. THE LAW IS VERY CLEAR ON THE SUBJECT, AND VOTERS SHOULD NOT ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE DECEIVED. THE SUCCESSFUL AMEDMENT DOES NOT REQUIRE A CLEAR MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST, BUT IT MUST HAVE MORE "FOR" THAN "AGAINST" AND IN ADDITION THE LARGEST NUMBER OF "FOR" CAST FOR ANY OF THE THREE AMENDMENTS. WE URGE, THEREFORE, THE NECESSITY OF GETTING SAMPLE BALLOTS AND STUDYING THEM CAREFULLY SO THAT NO INFLUENCE WILL DETER YOU FROM GOING ASIDE FROM THAT WHICH IS MADE UP IN YOUR MIND. LET YOUR VOTE BE A WHOLE NUMBER AND NOT FRACTIONAL BY VOTING FOR ONE AND AGAINST TWO OF THE AMENDMENTS. WE URGE THAT THE VOTE "FOR" (X) BE FOR THE BOOTH AMENDMENT, WHICH SIGNIFIES INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE PROSPERITY AND REPUBLICAN SUCCESS. YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION NOTES. Though the seating capacity of the Association proved inadequate at the Vesper services on Easter Sunday, those who were not present missed a soul-stirring address by Miss M. Francis Cross, who was the speaker of the afternoon. She told of the Associations work in India and China and of the hardships endured by those who spread the light to the heathen countries. In addition to Miss Cross most excellent address there was a very pleasing musical program. Mrs. O. W. Fifer, wife of the Rev. O. W. Fifer of the Warren Memorial Methodist church, will be the speaker at the Vesper service of the Association at 318 East Twenty-fifth street, 3:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Since the debate that was announced for Monday evening was postponed, a spelling match was substituted. A lively interest was sustained. Miss Madie Nelson proved to be the Y. W. best speller and won the prize. Mrs. Bondurant had charge of the evening program. The Bible class, conducted by Miss Venable of the Central Association is held every Thursday evening at 8 p. m. All women and girls interested in the Bible can attend whether Association members or not. Schedule for Week. Sunday, 3:30 p. m., Vesper; Monday, 8 p. m., members' meeting; Thursday, 8 p. m., Bible study class; Saturday, 8 p. m., gym. class. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The campaign for new members, which was put on some days ago, ended last week with a fair measure of success, Dr. De Frantz leading in bringing in the largest number of members. All were adult members, the boys not taking any part in the campaign this time. Another campaign on a large and novel scale is now being planned by a special committee, the details of which will be announced later on. Nothing like it has ever been known before, and it is bound to be a big success. The membership of the branch is now 100 men and 50 boys. All these have been brought in during the past four months. It is the desire of the committee to raise the senior membership to 300 this year. Rev. Dr. Charles G. Williams, pastor of the Capitol Heights Presbyterian church, addressed the men's meeting last Sunday afternoon at the four o'clock meeting. He spoke along the line of the resurrection, and said that its main significance to us today was that God could raise us up to RACE NEWS First Lieutenant John A. Green, who has been on duty with the 25th regiment, United States Infantry, on the Mexican border, was recently ordered by the Secretary of War to be detached from duty with regiment, and appointed as military attache to the American Legation at Monrovia, Liberia. This was the post held until recently by Major Charles Young, who is now in Mexico with the famous Tenth Cavalry. Lieut. Green, after paying his respects to the Liberian Consul, the Rev. Ernest Lyon, at Baltimore, came to New York and sailed for Liberia by way of Cadiz, Spain. Church Jr., are not quitters. But know their rights and have the manhood to stand up and fight for them. The Republican convention met in this city on last Friday. The session was a very stormy one, so much so that it adjourned in confusion. There were fifteen contesting delegates from as many different wards, the bitterest one being R. R, Church, Jr., and Frank Elgin. Both aspire to be delegates from the States-at-large to the National convention, and both want the votes of their home county. Mr. Church is supported by the Hon. J. C. Napier and other prominent men all over Wilberforce, O., April 17. There is an element vigorously opposing the present administration of Wilberforce University, and especially President W. S. Scarborough the noted philologist. The University is known as the Mecca of African Methodism intellectuality and a charge in the administration is considered necessary to preserve the well being of the educational center. It is rumored that Prof. L. B. Moore, Dean of Teachers' College, Howard University, is being groomed for this presidency. Prof. Moores has not given out any statement. He is regarded however as one race's best equipped educators. Memphis, Tenn., April 18. After the contest is brought to a close here for the election of delegation to the Republican Convention at Chicago, at least one thing will be made apparent, and that is that colored men of the type of Robert higher and better things. Special music was furnished by a quartet of young ladies. The members of the Dramatic Club are preparing two plays which are to be brought on later on. The club is displaying great enthusiasm, and will undoubtedly do well. Meetings will be held for boys and men as usual next Sunday afternoon. The boys' meeting will be held at 2:30 o'clock, with ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?, as speaker. The men's meeting will be held at four o'clock. It will be a notable meeting in that Harry Ewing, secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association in Buenos Ayers, Argentine Republic, will be the speaker. All men will be welcome. A senior membership reception will be held next Monday evening. The new members, who came in during the membership canvas, will be presented to the members. NO 37 Church Jr., are not quitters. But know their rights and have the manhood to stand up and fight for them. The Republican convention met in this city on last Friday. The session was a very stormy one, so much so that it adjourned in confusion. There were fifteen contesting delegates from as many different wards, the bitterest one being R. R. Church, Jr., and Frank Elgin. Both aspire to be delegates from the States-at-large to the National convention, and both want the votes of their home county. Mr. Church is supported by the Hon. J. C. Napier and other prominent colored men all over the State. He is making such a gallant fight, that even if he loses out somebody will know he was in the struggle. The vote for segregation in Dallas, Texas, was 7,613 for ii, and 4,693 against it. This small vote and the small majority compared with the vastly greater number of white people is conclusive evidence that there is no strong demand for such ordinances. That city has 124,000 white people and 24,000 colored people. This means that there are at least 15,000 white voters, yet the vote for segregation was only 7,613, presuming that the total affirmative vote was cast by white voters. In St. Louis the proportion was similar; not half of the possible white vote had voice in the decision. This less than half of the white vote, silent and the total Negro vote in the negative should have weight from the viewpoint of the majority voice of the people. It is plain that there was no popular demand for segregation. It is the point. Owing to the race question generally any proposition, wherein the races are involved, submitted to the people for decision, will be settled in but one way. This is simply taking advantage of the racial situation, and which would never be forced to these points for decision were it not for a few who urge the many to take a race stand. The Supreme Court can settle this sort of inciting the people into racial partisan bands for all time if it will. The usual processes will hold the races sufficiently apart, and at the same time no great principle of government will be disturbed.—Freeman. Human Paradox.

Public execution in the Plaza at Chihuahua City is to end the career of Pablo Lopez, the Villa bandit, captured near Santa Ysabel, according to passengers arriving at El Paso from Chihuahua. A similar fate will be meted out to the three men who were taken with Lopez. A reception and dance was given to the British force by the King of Fuman shortly after the capture of that province from the German forces. The function was featured by a speech from the throne and the taking of a photograph of the king and his 600 wives and 149 children. Officers casualty lists show that during the month of March the British army lost 372 killed, 690 wounded and 44 missing—a total of 1,106. The losses in officers since the commencement of hostilities total 25,033. Of these, 7,792 were killed or died of wounds, 15,438 were wounded and 1,803 are missing. **SPORTING NEWS** **Standing of Western League Clubs.** Clubs— Won Lost, Det.

An appeal by President Wilson to business men for co-operation with the committee on industrial preparedness of the naval consulting board in its industrial inventory of the country's resources for national defense was made public in New York. In defining more clearly than ever before what constitutes dishonest advertising through the mails, the Supreme Court has held in effect that advertisers, even though they give purchasers value received for their money, are guilty of fraud if by exaggerated advertising propaganda they have led clients to expect more. The documents seized by federal agents when they raided the office of Wolfe von Igel in New York gained new importance through an announcement that among them was a German code book. This code, it is said, unlocked valuable information, since many of the Von Igel papers are in cipher. A final dash after Villa was reported at El Paso to have been started Tuesday by an American detachment while the main expeditionary forces were being concentrated at Namiquipa and Colonia Dublan. ```markdown ``` THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE LATEST IMPORTANT D18 PATCHES PUT INTO SHORT, CRISP PARAGRAPH8.

Washington and to his work toward the solution of the race problem in America. Every speaker eulogized him, the quartet paid tribute to him in song and an unexpected feature of the meeting was a presentation of a medallion representing Doctor Washington's head, which had been modeled in clay by Miss Ruth M. Harris, now a student in the University of Pittsburgh. There were several hundred persons at the meeting, numbered among whom were many prominent men and women of Pittsburgh as well as many Negroes who realize the work that is being done for their race at Hampton. The program opened with old plantation melodies sung by graduates of the school. Dr. John A. Brashear presided. He drew attention to the fact that at the last Hampton meeting in Pittsburgh, two years ago, Doctor Washington was one of the speakers. Doctor Brashear then introduced George McAeney, managing director of the New York Times. Mr. McAenny said he became interested in Hampton's work when he was sent there to write a descriptive story some twenty-five years ago. Since that time he has been active in the work of Hampton, and of the Tuskegee institute, which Booker T. Washington made famous. Mr. McAenny said that Hampton has many phases in its work, but that of which he likes to think is that it is the scene of the greatest attempt to reach a solution of the problem of the place the Negro is to occupy in this nation. He welcomed Maj. Robert Moton, also a speaker of the evening, and the principal-elect of Tuskegee, as Booker T. Washington's successor as the leader of his people. Major Moton's address was an exposition of the aims of Hampton—to wipe from the mind of the Negro the repugnance toward manual labor which came to him when he was freed, to instill in him a knowledge of the dignity and honor of labor of the hands, to teach him to believe in himself, and to respect himself rather than to feel shame at his color or his race. He said that the adjustments of the two great extremes—the white and the black—is the greatest problem this country faces, and he rejoiced in the belief that Hampton and Tuskegee are helping to solve it. A short address was made by Rev. H. B. Turner, chaplain at Hampton, and Miss Harris then presented the medallion to Major Moton to be presented, in turn to Tuskegee. Dr. Kelly Miller, dean of the college of arts and sciences, at Howard university, in Washington, spoke on "The Essential Elements of the Race Problem," at the regular monthly meeting of the Protestant Ministerial association, at Roberts Park Methodist church, Indianapolis. The Negro problem, he said, was "essentially a human problem," with the white race in the position of trustee. He pleaded especially that education and encouragement be given the Negro. Howard university, with which he is connected, is a Negro institution. The Rev. J. H. Crum was chairman of the meeting. A considerable number of colored men and women were in the audience. The Rev. A. B. The Negro population of the United States increased from 757,208, or 19.3 per cent of the total population, in 1790, to 9 827,763, or 10.7 per cent of the total, in 1910. The increase between 1900 and 1910 was at the rate of 11.2 per cent, while during the same period the white population increased by 22.3 per cent. Since 1810 there has been a continuous decrease in the proportion which Negroes have formed of the total population, due, at least in part, to the fact that the white population has been continually augmented by immigration, while there has been very little immigration of Negroes during the past hundred years. The problem of the Negro is one to which the South has not always given sufficient attention. The South is only just awakening to the fact that as the old status of the Negro is gone, never to return, it is its duty to do what it can to establish a new one on an enduring basis. As the Houston Post said the other day: "It is essential to the well-being of the white people that the industrial One of the strangest animals known to zoologists is the tenrec, an insect-eating animal found only in the island of Madagascar. It is supposed to represent a very ancient type of animal which is now almost extinct. Madagascar, once a part of the mainland of the African continent, was separated therefrom at a very remote period in the past. As a result a fauna peculiar to the island has been developed. Wisconsin bran bread is sold in many states. Storms announced that the program for May would include a consideration of the subject of national charities and corrections and that two or three men of national reputation would speak. Doctor Miller said in part: "The race problem constitutes a challenge to Christianity in the world today. If Christ should come to America, he would not ask of the Christian church how many costly edifices have you constructed, or how well have you organized your schemes of endeavor according to the exactness of business efficiency; but rather what are you doing for the least of these my brethren in black whom circumstances have placed in your own midst? "The Negro cannot be segregated from the communal life of which he forms an inseparable part. It is not necessary to like the Negro in order to be interested in him. You may hate with deep malignity your fellow-passenger on an ocean steamer, but the moment he becomes afflicted with the smallpox he elicits your keenest interest and anxiety, for"he has the power to communicate to you the malady which has afflicted him. "Every ignorant Negro in Indianapolis lowers the standard of Intelligence of the city. Every vicious one impairs its moral reputation, everyone who is sick affects the health of your fair capital. Those disease germs pay absolutely no regard to the doctrine of race superiority. They are not even frightened at the scarecrow of social equality, but gnaw with equal avidity at the vitals of black and white alike and pass with utmost freedom and satisfaction from one to the other. "Strong emphasis should be placed upon the Negro, not because he is black, but because his needs are greatest. In this work of human uplift, you may well lay aside all preconceived theories of racial arrogance and conceit and apply yourselves in the spirit of Christian brotherhood to this great human task. "The Negroes as a mass had to be improved in their efficiency through industrial training, to which Dr. Booker T. Washington devoted his life. At the same time they need leaders to guide them wisely amid the dangers and vicissitudes of life. Just as we appeal to the Christianity, philanthropy and statesmanship of the white race to assist and encourage the industrial training of the masses, we with equal earnestness urge the importance of the higher education for the development of a wise and effective leadership." Nearly 1,000 Negroes gathered at Victoria, Texas, for the grand central meeting of the colored farmers of Victoria and the Southwest Colored School Teachers' association meeting. At noon all formed in line at the school building and marched to the public square. A large United States flag was at the head of the line, while about 300 school children each carried small ones. On arriving at the square all formed about the bandstand and joined in singing "America." Following this several influential Negroes addressed the gathering. The teachers were in session all the afternoon and evening in the colored school building. The government of Uruguay will assume control of all telegraph and telephone services and reorganize and improve them. status of Negroes be improved. By teaching them to become efficient and thrifty and encouraging them to better their conditions materially and morally, much will be accomplished toward correcting the conditions that make them easy victims for tuberculosis and other diseases. We cannot say that these things are not our business, unless we confess indifference to our own well-being. The Negroes are not going to make much progress without the co-operation and sympathy of the white people, and we must face the unchangeable truth that we can best help ourselves in fighting tuberculosis by aiding them to rise above the miserable living conditions which so large a proportion of them are now compelled to endure." The Negro is not only the white man's burden but also the white man's problem. But the problem is surely one that can be solved.—Dallas Times Herald.

Briggs, both old-time residents of Evans, who recognized the youth as a former resident of Weld county. These men know him as the son of James Carlisle, a harness maker, who lived in Evans years ago, where William L. Carlisle was born. After leaving Evans, the Carlisles moved to Loveland, where they resided for years, and where the bandit grew to manhood. After leaving Loveland they moved to Texas, where the father died and where the mother and sister to whom he claims to have sent the money now reside. According to Briggs and McAfee one of the bandit's brothers served a term in the penitentiary for forgery, and another brother for shooting the son of Adolph Donath in a dispute over a girl. The circumstances of the shooting is familiar to old-timers of this section. The boy was making his escape on a horse, but he used the spurs too freely and the animal bucked and threw him off. He was found unconscious in the road. Two Killed in Auto Wreck. Denver.—Skidding for more than fifty feet on its side in the road, after a rear wheel collapsed, and catching afire from escaping gasoline, the big touring car containing Gordon Jones, president of the United States National Bank, and five others, brought death to two of the party and injured four others, two miles east of Bennett, Colo. Gordon Jones, Jr., 21 years old, son of the bank president, who was driving, was thrown fifteen feet from the car, striking upon his head. He died within an hour. Turner Jones, 26 years old, manager of the land loan department in the bank, was pinned under the heavy car and crushed to death. His wife, Mrs. Roma Jones, a bride of little more than a year, the daughter of Gordon Jones, Sr., was extricated by her father and mother from beneath the burning car in time to save her life. The flames had seared the flesh from both feet before she could be rescued. Others injured were: Mrs. Gordon Jones, Sr., hip bruised and hands burned; Gordon Jones, Sr., broken rib and facial bruises, and Elbert Wharton Jones, 5-year-old son of Gordon Jones, Sr. bruised about face. Dairy Association Reorganized. Boulder, Colo.—The Colorado State Dairy Association, which has been inactive for the past few years, took a new lease on life at its annual meeting here and a complete rorganization was effected. Hereafter the association will be under the control of a board of nine directors representing all branches of the industry. The new board selected consists of H. D. Parker, Greeley; C. A. Hall, Jefferson county; James Glinch, Denver; W. S. Partridge, Holly; Gilbert Landell, Fort Lupton; Prof. George E. Morton, Fort Collins; A. M. McClenahan, Greeley; George T. Sinton, Colorado Springs; C. H. Hinman, Denver. It was decided that the association would lend its assistance and backing to a big dairy cattle exhibit at the next National Western Stock Show. Director W. S. French of the Agricultural College extension work urged that the association give its attention to the development of the cheese making industry, expressing the opinion that Colorado has conditions that will permit of the production of the best cheese in the world and the industry is highly profitable. Sheriff Buster Barred in Dickens Trial Boulder.—When court reconvened Monday afternoon in the trial of Rienzi Dickens, charged with murdering his father, District Judge Neil F. Graham sustained the defense's motion to restrain Sheriff Santford Buster from serving any further processes in the case. The motion was based on Buster's activity in working up evidence for the prosecution. Coroner A. E. Howe will do the work of serving papers in the sheriff's stead. Falcon Ranch Sells for $70,000 Colorado Springs.—F. G. Harvey, a wealthy stockman of Kansas City, purchased the R. C. Webster ranch of 4,663 acres located two miles northwest of Falcon and twelve miles northeast of Colorado Springs, for $70,000. Harvey plans to make it one of the largest stock ranches in the West. Boy's Body Burned by Current. Cañon City.—While playing hide and seek with companions, Peter Sanchez, 16, climbed a steel tower carrying the high-power transmission lines of the Arkansas Valley Light & Power Company and was electrocuted. Sanchez touched one of the wires and 24,000 volts of electricity passed through his body, burning it to a crisp. All of the circuits were short circuited, causing a number of valley towns to remain in darkness. Western Newspaper Union News Service. DATES FOR COMING EVENTS.

Further particulars on application IS THIS ANOTHER GRUESOME DISCOVERY? From a reliable source we have gathered that certain members of the cloth (clergymen) of our race have been doing what is called "domestic canvassing" for the Democratic party, that is, fearful to come out in the open and advise their parishioners or members, but in their pastoral visits take advantage of their followers by impressing them with the fake benefits to be received and the prosperity to result from Democratic party ruling. We cannot help from reminding these religious leaders of the expression of their head—the Saviour Christ, who, when He discovered actions similar to these during His existence on earth, said, "O ye scribes, hypocrites, that make clean the outside of the cup, and the inside filled with dead men's bones"; and on another occasion, being disgusted with their continuous deception of the people, called them GENERATION OF VIPERS. Fortunately for us in this age, we can discover them without hearing the Christ pronouncement, and all The Colorado Statesman has to say is, that if some of our ministers in Denver, Colo., have not yet learned the lesson that Bishop Walters and many of his associates of the East have been forced to learn, let them keep on groping in the dark with the conceited idea that they are the gods and prophets of earth, and very soon the intelligence of the pew will consign them to the place prepared for them—the SCRAP HEAP. With the facts and proofs given us in practice and sentiment of this Negro-hating political party, how on earth can these Negro preachers be so blinded to these oppressive measures and unfavorable conditions offered and forced on us by members of the Democratic party, when we have an existing administration as the Wilson's where men and leaders, representatives, etc., forget even the dignity of their office and the constitution of our government? To our mind, the old expression, "Something is dead up the creek," seems to be very applicable in this case, as some of these men who were fearless in coming out against SEGREGATION and RACIAL HATRED but a while ago, are quietly and sincerely preaching the doctrine of HATE YOUR-SELVES AND LOVE YOUR ENEMIES. LEAVE THEM TO GOD AND HE WILL HELP YOU. What about "God helps those who help themselves"? O Lord! deliver us from such baneful demagogues. NEGRO POLITICAL PLOTTERS DISCOVERED. We have in Denver a few "smart characters" who are endeavoring to sow the seed of spoliation among a people who have reached a point in their political experience where they refuse to be bribed, coerced or bartered, and who have made up their minds to strongly oppose and turn their backs upon members of the Democratic party who are making another bold attempt to enlist their sympathy and support in the election of Hon. Robert W. Speer and his charter amendment to the city of Denver on Tuesday, May 9th. One sickly sheep will spoil a flock if allowed to remain with them; so will a rotten apple a crate, if same is not extracted upon early discovery of its presence. It then becomes a pleasant duty for us to exhibit facts in their bare form as a guidance to Negro electors in this campaign that is seriously engaging the mind of every member of our race who is directly concerned over the outcome of the election and the possible return to power of a political party that has never hesitated to expose us to insult, ridicule and contumely. The adding of insult to injury by a few job-holders and seekers of menial positions who comprise this class of SPOILERS of our race in their endeavor to force the Speer amendment upon us, leads to the conclusion that the entire essence of the long-sought combination of the West and South in both city and state governments to gain political control of the nation is set and brewed in opposition to and plotting against the freedom of the Negro, by the subtle influence wielded by sweet-mouthed Democrats over some self-styled Negro leaders who pride in congratulating themselves on their imaginary receipts of success and reform from the friends who treat them so conveniently. Every Negro is more or less familiarized with the thraldom and oppression we undergo from the hand of this foe, who in his years of relentless toil, deprives us of some of the liberty of our constitution and who also impairs our enjoyment of civic advantages by segregation and other methods of prescription; therefore the colored man or woman who will humbly lick the hand that smites and bruises him or her is no better than the common cur that grovels before a brutal master. It is all well to listen to the delusive theory of non-partisanship in the city government as expressed by Mr. Speer, but view the action of the Democrats in the solid front and whole support they are presenting and giving to this candidate for mayor, and if he is elected he cannot but do the bidding of his party, as the percentage of supporters of Republicans is scarcely discernible. Where would our recognition being members of the black race come in with the Democratic machine? How would questions and issues affecting our liberties be considered? What effect would this city election have on the fall or national if we have a Democratic control? Have our Negro men and women who are championing the Speer charter amendment given these matters careful consideration at the same time catching a glimpse of the possible harmful results? How brazen then and lack in principle must our colored people be, who close their eyes to all the abusive affronts and wanton oppression heaped upon them by those "professed friends" who dare not stand to assert human rights fearlessly in their respective representative positions, whether in city, state or nation at large. Can we afford to allow these Negro leaders (?) to surrender our race's highest interests and stab us, offering the false and weak excuse of protection and prosperity for Denver and its people, promotion of Colorado interests, etc., when they from experience know how much we have and will be benefited by the adoption and indorsement of this all-powerful instrument to be used in an absolute manner? We therefore call upon the men and women of our race, making a strong appeal to them to denounce, without mercy, any political plotters who are determined to surrender and sacrifice our rights upon this despotic altar of DEMOCRATIC EXPERIMENT embodied in the Speer charter amendment, and support, without reserve, the BOOTH CHARTER AMENDMENT—a panacea for our present troubles. Natural Tendency Is Toward Sweat Labor By CHARLES L. BAINE, Boston, Mass. To say that efficiency, as the term should properly be understood, is injurious to the worker would be decidedly reactionary. But, in the public mind, the kind of efficiency considered is so-called efficiency of the speeding-up advocates, sometimes called production engineers, who are willing to let themselves to an employer for a fancy price on their representations that they can show him how to get more work out of labor for less money. Whether efficiency proper or efficiency so-called is a benefit or an injury to labor depends upon the purpose behind the efficiency movement. It is not difficult for a layman to understand that the turning out of a larger quantity of work in the same floor space is an economic advantage to capital, and any facilities they may furnish to that end is to their benefit. If labor is paid in proportion to the amount each accomplishes it may also be a benefit to labor, especially if added facilities make it possible to accomplish more work with an equal or lessened amount of effort We of the trade union movement recognize that the men of any given industry know more about that industry than they do about other industries. Therefore, speaking of the shoe industry, with which I am somewhat familiar, and in which piecework very largely prevails, the condition ought to be that when the output of the workman is increased through any added facilities furnished by the employer, the earnings of the operative ought to be larger. Unfortunately, however, the general rule has been that when a shoe manufacturer has put in a new machine that will do more work he asks for a lower price, so as to get the added production with a net gain to himself, and leave the worker no better off than he was before, and perhaps worse off. If the employer is strong enough to force a readjustment favorable to himself, he does it; and if the union is strong enough to gain for the worker some measure of justice, he gets it, and not otherwise. Personally, I cannot see that the so-called efficiency is of benefit to labor, because it seems that the natural tendency of its disciples is to use it to sweat labor and not to reward it. It therefore becomes, in a sense, destructive of the better relations that might exist if both employers and employees were disposed to deal fairly with each other. It appears to the writer that, so far, all efficiency systems leave out of consideration the all-important human element, without which the whole scheme fails of a constructive climax. Man is a variable quantity, depending upon his physical condition. This fact causes the variations which create differences of opinion on this much-discussed subject. Many people who live in communities where there are doubtful water supplies make a practice of drinking spring water. Sometimes they take it for granted that spring water granted that spring water is pure water, regardless of the conditions under which it is secured, shipped and delivered. It is advisable to investigate these points when they are open to any question. Suppose, however, that the company supplying the water has safeguarded its customers in every way possible and delivered water of unquestioned purity. The fact remains that if care ceases then the other precautions are of little use. Great quantities of water are supplied in gallon and half-gallon bottles for domestic use. These are closed with ordinary corks. In using the water from the bottles these corks are usually extracted with the hands and held in the hand until the water is poured out, and then they are stuck back into the bottle. This may be done a dozen times before the water is completely exhausted. Coming in contact with the hands as the cork does, it is often contaminated by the hands, which are unclean. Naturally, whatever impurities are rubbed off onto the cork are in turn pressed into the neck of the bottle, to be washed out with the next glass of water poured through it. This may seem a simple matter, but to those who are willing to go to extra trouble and expense to insure themselves a pure supply of water the act sets all their pains at naught and contaminates otherwise pure water before it is consumed. Self-Control Is the Greatest Character Builder By S. BENSON, Evanston, Illinois By giving children too much freedom one harms them cruelly. Their minds are not prepared to accept the problems of life in the right spirit; they must have someone to teach them not only to obey but to explain the reason why they should not do this or that. They should be taught self-control above everything, for it is the greatest character builder. Many crimes are committed through lack of control over the emotions, and the remorse and disgust for a person's weakness is often so great as to ruin all ambition. The fight is so hard after mature years are reached that people frequently give up the struggle and so become degraded beings instead of useful and happy members of society. Give the children a healthy environment. Instill into their plastic minds the necessity for self-control and consideration for others. Don't insist upon confining their reading to certain books. Just make it your duty to see that there is nothing but good literature within their reach, and you will have done more for your child than all the expensive toys, pretty frocks or slaving for them could ever do. Doing Things from Habit Is Easiest Way By ALFRED WESTFALL, Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Colorado We are all creatures of habit, but few of us ever really estimate the practical value of our habits. Through habits we are able to save our strength, our time and our mental energy. Habits save our strength. The first time we perform an action we make a great many unnecessary movements. As an action becomes habitual, we tend to reduce it to the fewest possible movements. Compare a child learning to write with a finished penman, and notice the unnecessary movements of the former. Habits save our time. After we have become accustomed to a task we can perform it in much less time than before. How much more rapidly we can write on the typewriter after the use of the machine has become habitual. Habits save our mental energy. After an action has been reduced to habit, we can turn our attention to other things. When a woman is learning to knit, she must give all of her attention to her knitting. After she has learned how, her knitting seems to go on of itself while her thought and attention are engaged in her conversation. Natural Tendency Is Toward Sweat Labor By CHARLES L.

Miss Laura Bennett left Tuesday of last week for Roswell, N. M., where she will visit indefinitely with friends. Mrs. J. R. Hammond and little daughter arrived home last Tuesday from Pheonix, Ariz., where they spent the winter with friends. Mrs. Lucy McGee, of 4136 Wolff street was summoned to Batesville, Miss., where her sister is dangerously ill. Mrs. McGee left Tuesday evening. Easter services in the churches were up to a very high standard—the musical numbers and addresses on the Resurrection leaving a marked impression upon those whose good fortune it was to be present. The weather conditions were all that could be desired and the grand array of new bonnets and gowns reflecting the rays of the sun shining in his strength presented a spectacle ever to be remembered. Commissioner of Safety Alexander Nisbet, who, with a competent staff has helped in a very great measure to reduce crime in the city and county of Denver, and has given further assurance to the public that the laws enacted by the Legislature and Municipal Councils will be put into effect as far as in his power lies, is a candidate for the office of sheriff on the Booth Charter Amendment. There is no necessity to coax you into voting for him as statistics clearly show that his department is vigorously attacking the bootleggers, and the numerous convictions of law-breakers prove Mr. Nisbet is going about his work with caution and much judgment. In voting the Booth Amendment you support Nisbet, whose vigilance and systematic dealing with hardened or professional crooks offer no refuge in Denver to them. FOLLOW US TO VICTORY The Colored Citizens' League will keep their rooms at 2566 Washington street open until after the Fall campaign. All supporters and sympathizers of the Republican Party are invited to visit and receive explanation of anything that appears complicated to them. The Masons gave another proof of their ability to cater to the enjoyment of the public and the maintaining of the exclusive right as the best entertainers in the Rocky Mountain region, when they packed the East Turner Hall on Easter Monday night with a record breaking crowd of spectators and lovers of terpsichore. The first part of the program consisted of a farce—"Spirella Johnson from Memphis, Tenn." in which the McDaniel sisters were the special attraction. They were ably supported by the other members of the company, including the famous city comedian, George Elkins. Outbursts of laughter and numerous applauses greeted the performers who exhibited before a very critical audience. The latter part of the program brought forth delightful musical strains of Webster's orchestra, the latest addition to musical advancement in the city, and although the dancers were what may be termed sandwiched on account of the vast assembly, yet they were delighted with the one-step, two-step, etc. The management could hardly express themselves on the huge success attending their efforts, and the general sentiment expressed by the pleasure loving seekers found a response in the broad smiles of the entertainment managers. Doff your hats to the Masons! They have put another over. Everybody to May festival, Peoples Presbyterian. May 4 and 5. DELEGATES ELECTED AT REPUB LICAN PRIMARIES FOR CITY AND COUNTY CONVEN TION.

The morning program was one of the most delightful we have ever enjoyed, and the huge audience gave inspiration to those who rendered it. The superintendent and corps of teachers are to be commended for their thoro drilling of the children. Especially were the primary and beginners' departments surprising to the audience. At the evening time the Young People's Union also rendered a pleasing hour of entertainment and instruction to those present. The success of the Union during the past year is a joy to the church. Mothers' Day will be celebrated on the 14th of May with an appropriate program. Special invitations are to be sent to the mothers who will be presented with white carnations and seated in a reserved section of the church. Music appropriate to the day will be rendered and the pastor will preach a special sermon to Mothers. All friends interested in Bible study are invited to enroll in the classes. The men meet Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock and the women Thursday afternoon at 2:30. Come and see whether you will become interested. BAPTISTS ERECT NEW BUILD INS FOR CHURCH PURPOSES. Plans for two new churches to be erected this spring at a total cost of $33,000 were completed recently by W. J. Westfall and W. N. Bowman, Denver architects. The Central Baptist church building association will erect a building at the northwest corner of Twenty-fourth and California streets to cost $18,000. The City Park Baptist church will erect a building at Garfield street and Colfax avenue at a cost of $15,000. The Twenty-fourth street building will be built of red pressed brick trimmed with stone in the ancient Gothic style of architecture with a sixty-foot tower. It will be finished inside with fir. The auditorium will be forty-two feet wide and seventy feet long. Sunday school and class rooms, heating plant, kitchen and rest rooms will be in the basement.

The demand for choice flowers never fails and the big cities of the United States sell enormous quantities. They must be fine though. The city man who wishes flowers for a special decoration does not care how much they cost if they are the best that can be grown. Flower farming is an agreeable occupation. But little help is required. The costly adjuncts, such as curing, drying, housing and storing are not required. Plants increase in value, and once a place is going it continues to increase in productive ability with each year. Flower farming does not require rich eol, but it must be quick and responsive. Some of the requirements for success, however, demand that your farm be located near a railway station and should have the convenience of a telephone, ice or a cold spring, and a good road to town. Start in a small way. Be content to buy from 100 to 500 plants each year until your plants get old enough to divide and build your stock from. By starting in a small way you will acquire the necessary experience to cope with the situation and understand the workings on a larger scale. No book knowledge can compare with a year's actual experience. There are many plants that increase prodigiously. Others take several years to be strong productive plants. The hydrangea will pay for itself in a single year. The peony takes longer to arrive at perfection. If planted in the fall the peony will bloom the first season, but young plants are apt to be too quick in getting out in the spring and the buds may be injured by late frosts. One thousand bushes three years old will produce 30,000 flowers. The dahlia is a good flower to grow. It can be planted June 1, come into bloom about August 15, and will be in full bloom by September. It is a free, easy early bloomer, has bright colors, long stems and good plump tubers. The peony must not be overlooked. Its requirements are simple, yet at a few periods they are very easily damaged. Plants that are kept dormant by being dug in the fall may be planted until June with fine success. When planting peonies in clayey ground they should be set about four inches deep, but in light, sandy soil or loamy soil five or six inches deep. Never use much manure the first year on newly planted peonies, and never overmanure them. Cultivate them about three inches deep, then apply about one inch of manure and work well into the soil in the spring. Plant peonies in the bright sunshine away from trees that are liable to shade them or whose roots may sap the plant food in the soil where they are planted. Peonies are grown from a division of old plants and also from seed. It takes from five to eight years to come into full bloom from seed. To get the best results from phlox they should be planted new each fall or spring and given plenty of water while in bloom. THE STREET The Beauty of Homes and Streets Can Be Enhanced by Planting Hedges Instead of Having Fences Around the Home Lot. Hardy phlox can be transplanted at any time, preferably in the spring or early fall by dividing the old clumps. Plant in April about fifteen to eighteen inches apart and pinch the teps back when about four inches high. The result will be that they will give a maximum of florets and a very large head of bloom. Give an occasional dressing of manure or manure water. When a very large mass of plants is desired, pinch back about one-third of the stems about May 1 and about three weeks later another thira should be pinched back. This lengthens the season of blooming and adds to their beauty. PLANT FOR BEAUTY By L. M. BENNINGTON. A tropical effect can be obtained by planting a round bed with a few castor-oil plants in the middle, with tall-growing cannas around them. Use elephant's ears for the border. A glorious hedge is obtained from salvia. Plant a triple row of the red sage, as it is often called. Set it, but early in June, and let it grow unchecked until it is a blaze of color. If the aphis attacks the sweet peas spray them with strong soap suds. Give heliotrope rich, porous soil, composed of leaf mold, thoroughly rotted manure, and sand to make it friable. It requires good drainage and plenty of water and will not thrive in heavy sour soil. Ever-blooming larkspur is a novelty that has proved hardy and beautiful. It grows to a great height, four or five inches tall, and is a constant bloomer. As a hardy perennial of great beauty it is well to try the Albion, white and bella-donna, sky blue, they are a riot of gorgeous coloring and a great improvement over the oldtime larkspur. Sow mignonette every two weeks until the middle of July. There is no flower so fragrant and it is easily grown and will supply plenty of perfume for the home rooms. Much better than the commercial fertilizer is well-decayed manure. It supplies humus, which improves the capacity of the soil for holding moisture and admitting the air to the roots. Take care of the palms and plants that have been growing in the house all winter. Do not expose them to the full sunshine of the garden. Keep them in a secluded spot until they become accustomed to it. In the spring hydrangeas should have some branches cut out at the bottom to give them a more compact and sturdy look. They should occupy a sunny position in the garden and be protected from the cold winds of autumn. When the buds begin to swell in the spring cut the branches at the bottom and the plant will quickly throw up shoots that will produce large heads of bloom. The plants should be watered occasionally with liquid manure. Hydrangeas make a good house plant if good air and sunshine are given them. HYDRANGEAS REDUCE FREIGHT RATES COLORADO FILES APPEAL FOR LOWER CHARGES. Interstate Commerce Commission Is Asked for Substantial Reductions In Class and Commodity Rates. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—A comprehensive petition asking a general readjustment of freight rates involving points throughout Colorado was filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission by the state and the Colorado Fair Rates Association. Involving charges of discrimination against Colorado common points, and all other Colorado points taking the same rates, a voluminous complaint was directed against thirty-two railroads and two steamship companies. The petition was the result of weeks of preparation by S. H. Babcock, commissioner of the Colorado Fair Rates Association, and the Public Utilities Commission, representing the State of Colorado. The action was initiated by the Fair Rates Association, an organization of representative citizens of all parts of the state. The complaint was forwarded to Washington and was received by the Interstate Commerce Commission It asks substantial reductions in existing class and commodity rates, reciting that "the one always present handicap to the realization of a full measure of growth and prosperity" (of the citizens of Colorado and the entire state) "has been unjust, unreasonable and discriminatory rates of railroad transportation," and that the "increased and general development of these cities and this state, certain to be produced from the establishment of just and reasonable transportation rates, will not singly reflect to their own benefit, but to that of the carriers also in fully corresponding degree." Paid $125,000 for $1 and Services. What constitutes "services rendered" by a son to his mother to the amount of $125,000 is a matter which the State Inheritance Tax collector is trying to determine. An attempt to avoid paying the inheritance tax is alleged by State Inheritance Tax Collector Hubbard in connection with the estate of Amelia L. Brocker. A statement filed in the office of the tax commission gave the total value of the estate as $6,000, held to cover cash, the contents of a safety deposit box, jewelry and a promissory note. Upon opening the box and examining the records it was found, said Mr. Hubbard, that real estate amounting to $125,000 had been transferred to the testator's son, A. G. Brocker, two years ago "for $1 and services rendered" and that $50,000 which was supposed to be in the box had disappeared. $8.517 State Tax on Rivers Estate The net value of the estate of Dr. Edmund C. Rivers, who was drowned in Barr Lake last fall, was fixed by inheritance tax appraiser Hubbard at $254,047. After a tax of $8,517 has been subtracted, the estate will go to Miss Lily R. Rivers of Baltimore, Md., the physician's sister and his sole legatee. At the same time the estate of the late Lucius M. Cuthbert was appraised at $117,964. An inheritance tax of $2,881.85 was levied. The remainder will go to the widow, Mrs. Gertrude H. Cuthbert. The value of the estate of Mrs. Mary A. Alkire of Denver was fixed at $71,426, with a tax of $409.90. Reduction in Coal Rates Ordered Reductions of 50 cents a ton in freight rates in coal from Palisade and Cameo to the Cripple Creek district were ordered by the State Public Utilities Commission. The reduction affects the Colorado Midland Railway Company and the Midland Terminal Railway Company. It grows out of the case filed against the two roads by the Grand Junction Mining and Fuel Company and the Pallisade Coal and Supply Company. Sum of $3,000 Still Unclaimed. Unless the sister of the late Henry Huber, old-time stage driver, can be found, $3,000 left to her by the pioneer in life insurance eventually will go to the state school fund. At the time of his sudden death at Green River, Wyo., last December, he left only $90 in money and a fur overcoat, besides the life insurance policy. The sister cannot be found. After the lapse of a year, the insurance will go to the state. Governor Issues Requisition for Webb Governor Carlson issued a requisition upon Governor Kendrick of Wyoming for the return to Colorado of Gerald Webb, accused of grand larceny. Singletary Gets Verdict for $1,916 A verdict for $1,916 was awarded against former state insurance commissioner Saul Epstein by a jury, in favor of Henry W. Singletary, for alleged defamation of character. Singletary sued for $10,000 damages, asserting that while Mr. Epstein was state insurance commissioner he made a report to a company whereby Mr. Singletary lost his position and preventing him from procuring another up to the time of bringing the suit.

Relief in these the disk of the sun is minutely examined with powerful telescopes, or when photographed with the aid of the modern spectroheliograph the surface presents a characteristic spotted appearance which undergoes slight changes from day to day, and greater changes with longer intervals of time, depending upon the well-known rotation of the sun upon its axis and the periodic recurrence of the sunspot maxima and minima. "These and certain well-known related phenomena are represented to be the basis of the so-called discovery. "During the past several years the weather bureau has received, in the form of letters, circulars, diagrams and blue prints, full specifications concerning all essential details of this alleged new system of forecasting. The so-called discovery is fully known to the weather bureau and has received fair and impartial study and examination by its scientific staff. Moreover, other scientists of international reputation now connected with the strongest institutions in the world engaged in astronomical research and conducting investigations in solar and terrestrial physics have also passed upon these new theories. "These authorities are in accord that the deductions and conclusions drawn from the solar conditions on which the new system is based are unwarranted. Solar phenomena of the kind described do not have any direct influence upon the weather at any particular time and place, and, therefore, cannot be made the basis of weather forecasting. "Spacious references to the moon, to the planets and to the spottedness of the sun and its shafts of radiation alleged to dominate terrestrial weather are but picturesque frameworks upon which to display weather forecasts for sale." Bill to Regulate Podiatry Stumped Colonel Hall Bill to Regulate Podiatry Stumped Colonel Hall "A BILL to regulate the practice of podiatry in the District of Columbia." Col. L. J. Hall, the chief bill clerk of the house of representatives, scratched his head. This has been the habit of men perplexed since Adam became worried about the insidious clerk's office averred he didn't know such a thing existed in the District of Columbia, although he'd always had his suspicions. The evils of a city, he complained, pass all understanding. And then it dawned upon Colonel Hall and the bill clerks! "Podiatry? Why, that's corn doctoring. You know the corn doctors of our boyhood days?" Why, of course. It is but a commentary on the passing of the old order of things. Podiatry, it seems (although few ever knew it was that), must go the way of sassafras tea, bluemass and calomel, fresh-drawn herb juice and the odoriferous asafetida bag that hung warningly about one's neck. Just now it is impossible to say why Congressman Maher has gone on the warpath against that American institution—the corn doctor. Perhaps Mr. Maher hasn't a corn; perhaps he has one and it won't come off, or somebody has stepped upon it.

The most beautiful foliage as a background for orchids is the maiden-hair fern, which, when separated from the root, wilts so quickly that it must constantly be replenished. It would seem that this has been arranged for in Mrs. Wilson's case by the quantity of potted ferns placed in every available spot throughout the White House. These are sent from the White House conservatories, where they are raised to perfection. There are several varieties of the maiden-hair, each one of which seems to be more beautiful than the others. The great lawn which stretches from the portico of the White House toward the Potomac is pretty well inclosed in shrubbery and dotted with fine trees of every species. Surrounding the whole place is an iron fence, directly inside of which is a hedge of privet, planted during the administration of President Taft. So rapidly does this favorite hedge shrub grow that it already has become a formidable barrier for those who enjoy seeing the president's grounds, even if they cannot walk upon them. It will not be many more years before the White House inclosure will be as much walled in as are the grounds around Buckingham palace and the other homes of Europe's monarchs.

Woodlawn is located about sixteen miles south of Washington and there are splendid roads for motoring between the two points.

Eat onions in May, and all the year after physicians may play. Creamed Onions With Parsley.—Cook peeled onions in boiling, salted water until tender. For six onions melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, add three tablespoonfuls of flour, a half teaspoonful of salt and paprika; stir until well blended, then add a cupful of rich milk and half a cupful of the water in which the onions were boiled; cook until smooth and pour over the onions; sprinkle generously with finely-minced parsley just before serving. Chestnuts With Bermuda Onions.—Select small, even-sized onions, and parboil for 15 minutes; drain and set in a buttered casserole. For six onions take a cupful of tomato purée, chill pepper, cut in shreds, four sprigs of parsley, a teaspoonful of salt and boiling water or broth to just cover the onions; let cook an hour, then add a cupful of blanched chestnuts and cook another hour. Serve when both chestnuts and onions are tender. Thicken the sauce with butter and flour before serving. Cheese and Onion Sandwiches.—Cream or cottage cheese mixed with seasonings of salt, red pepper, and finely minced onion or chives spread on buttered white bread.

IRISH REBELLION PLOTTED IN U.S. PAPERS SEIZED IN VON PAPEN'S OFFICE SHOW PLANS FOR EQUIPPING TROOPS. DUBLIN REVOLT GROWS MORTIAL LAW PROCLAIMED AND DRASTIC STEPS TAKEN BY BRITISH GOVERNMENT. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, April 27.—British regulars from Belfast and England are now in Dublin and have recaptured from the revolutionary faction several important centers which the members of the Sinn Fein party and their adherents had occupied. These include St. Stephen's Green and Liberty Hall. As a measure of precaution martial law has been proclaimed in the City and County of Dublin, and the official announcement is made that drastic steps are being taken to suppress the movement in Ireland and arrest all those responsible for it. Premier Asquith, in the House of Commons, and Lord Landsdowne in the House of Lords, made reassuring statements respecting the situation in Ireland. Outside of Dublin, said the premier, the country was tranquil. Answering a question concerning the censorship of Ireland, Mr. Birrell said it had been thought necessary, during the last few days, that news should not reach neutral countries, especially "our friends in America," which would be calculated to give a false impression of the importance of the events, important as they were. He added that he hoped the censorship would be taken off shortly. New York, April 27.—Papers which show that prominent Irishmen and Germans in the United States exhibited a keen interest in plans for the revolt in Ireland were found by federal agents in their raid on the former offices here of Capt. Franz von Papen, withdrawn German military attaché, according to a statement made by high government officials. Whether the government will undertake an investigation rests with the Department of Justice at Washington, which has the the question under advisement, it was said. WARN AMERICANS FROM MEXICO. Reign of Terror Seen in Durango—Scott to Ask Carranza's Aid. Torreon, Mex., April 27.—American Consul Coen at Durango City has advised all Americans to leave the city and is himself considering the advisability of going to the border. A serious situation has been caused through the violent anti-American agitation which has been carried on since the American soldiers and Mexicans clashed at Parral. Washington, April 27.—General instructions for the assistance of Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott at his forthcoming conference with Carranza's war minister, Gen. Obregon, were drafted by Secretary Baker after brief conferences with President Wilson and Secretary Lansing of the State Department. The only official statement as to the nature of the instructions was the following, issued by Secretary Baker: "The instructions are to discuss a basis for the most cordial and completet cooperation between the American and Mexican forces in the attainment of their common object." "I Slew Dickens," Confesses XXX. Boulder.—Jacob S. Schey, attorney for Rienzi Dickens, received the following letter in Wednesday afternoon's mail: "Laramie, Wyo., April 25, 1916.—Mr. Jacob Schey, Boulder, Colo.—Dear Sir: Please don't let them convict Rienzi Dickens. I am the murderer. I'd kill any man who would do me the way that old — — did. I shot him through the window with a rifle which I afterward buried in Loveland, I left Longmont that night and walked to Loveland. Stayed there three days and went to Fort Collins. Afterward I came to Wyoming. I am going to leave Laramie tonight. For God's sake don't let them convict an innocent man. Some day they will be sorry. I did it because he had it coming. (Signed) "X.

New York.—The jury in the case of Mrs. Ida Sniffen Rogers, charged with the murder of her two children, brought in a verdict of not guilty, on the grounds of insanity. U-Boat Rule Issued by America. Washington, April 27.—An official declaration of the attitude of the United States toward armed merchant ships, made public by Secretary Lansing, reiterates and explains the purpose of the American government to recognize the right of peaceful vessels to carry arms for defense and at the same time, while referring only to warships generally, clearly sets forth the conditions under which the United States holds submarines may attack merchant craft.

Charm Lies in Well-Dressed Hair I In millinery for motor wear the season provides hats, bonnets and caps, leaving it to the wearer to exercise her judgment when the time comes for choosing among them. Judging by numbers, the bonnet, or cap, has finally triumphed, as the most sensible headwear for the motorist, and those who meet her demands have provided wonderfully attractive and well-made models of this kind. Nearly all motor-wear millinery is made of fabrics or of a fabric combined with a millinery braid. The shapes fit the head by means of elastic cords or other devices that hold them snugly to place, and are designed with visors or brims that protect the eyes. Veils of thin chiffon, only moderately long, are important adjuncts to all sorts of headwear designed for the motorist. The bonnet of black and white checked fabric. Charm Lies in V Nearly all the new coiffures are high, with the hair waved and brought to the top of the crown and sometimes to the top of the head. In all of them the torchehead and ears are at least partially covered, and fashion favors the appearance of abundance of hair carefully dressed. Large puffs help out in achieving the high hair dress, and short curls add the touch that is in keeping with the present modes in dresses and neckwear. But in spite of the pre-eminence of the high coiffure, young women, and some o for ones, refuse to abandon the more youthful style of the low hairdress. They are wise who refuse to sacrifice a single charm on the altar of fashion when it comes to choosing the manner of doing the hair. A small, shapely head, with all its pretty curves, is something to be proud of, and why should a stately coiffure crown the saucy or demure head of youth? Whatever choice is made, the hair is to be waved and the coiffure must bespeak care in its dressing and neatness in finish. One of the most attractive of new styles is shown in the picture. The hair is waved in very large waves for this coiffure and parted in a long part at one side. It sweeps across the forehead from the part and over the ears, and is coiled in a loose coil pinned close to the head above the nape of the neck. Three short, full curls are pinned in at each side. This shown in the picture, with veil of green chiffon, is a good example of the new models. The veil is weighted at the ends with knot and silk tassel. Designers are also presenting hats for motor wear that are cleverly made to do duty as street hats as well. They are soft and close-fitting and made of the same materials as the bonnets. But in combinations of braids with fabrics there is more braid and less fabric than in the regulation motor bonnet. They are more trimmed and their veils are entirely separate. The tourist who does not wish to be burdened with an extra hat on a short journey finds this style convenient. Compared to other classes of headwear the motor hat is most modest in price. No one should be indifferent, in selecting it, to the variety of shapes and colors that promise something becoming for every face. Well-Dressed Hair is an innovation in modern hairdressing, but it is merely a revival, along with full skirts, panniers and ruffles, of the fashions of long ago. Women should experiment with attractive and practical arrangements of the hair. The coiffure, more than anything else, can add or subtract years in the appearance. Occasionally one sees a happy mortal to whom nature has been unusually kind. Her hair waves naturally, grows in the best possible lines about the face and neck, and presents adorable little ringlets just where they look prettiest. She need take little thought of coiffure styles, for nature has made her independent of them. But the majority of women give themselves less concern than they should in this matter. The charm that lies in well-dressed hair is within reach of all of them. It is a matter for study, and in considering it one must consider also the style of clothes with which the coiffure is to be worn. Julia Bottomley Daily Thought. Endeavor to be patient in bearing with the defects and infirmities of others, of what sort soever they be, for that thyself also hast many failings which must be borne with by others.—Thomas a-Kempis.
