THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO AND NEW MEXICO A Growing Sentiment for Roosevelt Can He Break the Third Term Precedent? Such Evidence Look Favorable. VOL. XX11. A Growing Sentiment for R Can He Break the T Such Evidence —"Jonathan Cover." By the time another issue of the Statesman is placed in the hands of its readers the great political conventions will have become a matter of history to point a more or adorn many a tale of American firesides and rostrums, and the selected standard-bearers will have already begun to lay their plans to secure the greatest prize within the gift of the people. Speculation as to the nominees is of course confined to the Republicans. The Democratic nomination is inevitably conceded to the present incumbent and the Progressive and Republican nominee will doubtless be one and the same person, or else, as was suggested in a previous letter "We'll all step up and take a little more Wilson—That's all." But there's not going to be any third ticket, you may depend on that. Everybody, Republicans and Progressives alike have completed the process of cutting their wisdom teeth and they have quite sensibly determined that four years of wandering in the wildness is about all they care for and as did the Prodigal too, they have tired of the husks and in a similar distress of mind and stomach, they have cried out in their anguish, "I will arise." In this connection, it is really wonderful to note the process of amalgamation as it has been fostered and promoted between the leaders of the two Republican wings—for that's really what it amounts to and either one may be used as a prefix to the other—Republican Progressives or Progressive Republicans. Each wind has done everything possible to make certain a concert of action and to insure the desired result and in the opinion of many there remains but one more bridge to cross the nomination bridge. Indications increasingly point to the fact that there is a very large proportion of the American people who entertain the opinion that its one man against the field and a great many are inclined to think that Mr. Thomas Edison knew exactly what he was talking about when he said to the effect, that Theodore Roosevelt was absolutely the only man that should be nominated and that his equipment for the Presidency in the present conditions of affairs was superior to that of all the other candidates put together. Strong statement, was it not? and yet it is just such a statement one should look for from a strong and remarkable man. He is not playing politics, for his heart and mind are inseparably joined to the current which in a thousand ways is pleased to acknowledge him sovereign. But he is a good and true American as well, and being a mas- ter mechanician, he knows to produce a given result, an exactly adapted and carefully selected instrument must be employed. Doubtless in the midnight quiet of his laboratory he has applied the alchemy of common sense and the philosophy of serious meditation to the questions which are engaging and must still engage the attention of thoughtful Americans. His conclusion as stated above and the selection of Mr. Roosevelt as the instrument seems to coincide with the view of a large and ever increasing body of the American people. They like his enthusiasm; they like his clean-cut-straight-from-the-shoulder kind of diplomacy and they like his whole-hearted America first propaganda. But we cannot forget that there is such a thing as precedent and that it is thoroughly intrenched against a third term. It should be remembered, however, that to break a precedent is but to establish another. Teddy is strong on that. A. M. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE ENDS. Delegates At the Quadrennial Session Leave Much Work for Bishops Council. The quadrennial session of the General Conference of the A. M. E. church which has been in progress in Bethel A. M. E. church, 6th street, near Lombard, came to a close Tuesday, May 23, after a lengthy session of three weeks in which nearly all of the routine business was accompanied by wrangling. Several important occurrences made the session a memorable one. Among them was the stir caused over the whole country over the invitation to Theodore Roosevelt to address the conference; the consideration of charges against Bishop Joshua Jones; the election of two new bishops; the appeal of a fraternal delegate from the A. M. E. Zion church for the ultimate union of all Colored Methodists, and the election of Mrs. W. P. Chappelle, as editor of the Women's Christian Recorder, this causing a split among the women. Other acts of the conference were the establishment of a fund of $500,000 for superannuated preachers, windows and orphans; the establishment of a scholarship in any first class Methodist theological seminary, by Bishops H. B. Parks, J. Albert Johnson, W. H. Heard and J. S. Flipper; the division of the Children's Day money, giving half to the Sunday School Union; the removal of an issue of bonds of the floating debt of Wilberforce University, and the creation of a temperance department of which Miss Marile Mader will be head. The report of the financial secre- DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. JUNE 3. 1916 tary, Prof. John R. Hawkins, showed that during the past four years $850.214.04 in dollar money had been raised by the connection. Mr. Bryant, a layman at the head of the Sunday School Union, was given great praise for his successful work during the last eight years. All the general officers were re-elected and the office of general business manager held by Rev. J. I. Lowe was not abolished. The report of the committee on temporal economy was adopted, causing retrenching on every item and the cutting of salaries. The election of Mrs. W. P. Chapelle as editor of the Women's Christian Recorder caused a split in the women's organizations. She was nominated by Bishop Chapelle, and the women of the Mite Missionary Society, claiming favoritism, withdrew their candidate, Miss Bell Temple and adopted the Voice of Missions as their official organ. The delegates did not complete their work and much unfinished business was turned over to the Bishops' Council. The report of the Episcopal committee recommended making Nova Scotia a beneficiary of the missionary department. The Bishops were assigned for the next four years as follows: First district, Bishop Evans Tyree; Second, Bishop J. Albert Johnson; Third, Bishop Cornellius T Schaffer; Fourth, Bishop Levi J. Coppin; Fifth, Bishop H. P. Parks; Sixth, Bishop Joseph S. Flipper; Seventh, Bishop W. D. Chappelle; Eighth Bishop William H. Heard; Ninth Bishop B. F. Lee; Tenth, Bishop C. S. Smith; Eleventh, Bishop John Hurst; Twelfth, J. M. Conner, and Fifteenth, Joshua H. Jones. CORPORAL WHITE CAMP NO. 4 UNITED SPANISH WAR VETERANS' ANNUAL MILITARY BALL. "Wild was the night, yet a wilder night Hung round the soldier's pillow; In his bosom there raged a fiercer fight Than the fight on the wrathful bill low." The poet out of his sympathetic soul for this special human being—a sufferer from wounds received for his country's cause, poured out his poetic effusions in the above lines; but if he had been spared to see this soldier and his comrades after his recovery, in the association of relatives, friends and admirers at the El Jebel Temple Exclusive Shriners' Hall, Eighteenth and Sherman streets on the evening of last Tuesday, Decoration Day, when, not only the uniforms of the United Spanish War Veterans conspicuously contrasted the gorgeous vari-colored apparel of their guests, but stood out in bold relief against the grand illumination of the ball room and the decoration of American flags, this same poet in highest ecstasy would shout in stentorian tone. "Magnificence! O, Joy! O, Mirth." And this would be a faint description of the annual Military Ball of Corporal White Camp No. 4, an organization that each succeeding year of their existence brings greater recognition from high and low, rich and poor, as one of the greatest institutions in the United States of America Nearly a thousand persons participated. pated in the annual treat, and the general expression of appreciation of having the privilege of visiting the El Jebel Temple and dancing on its perfect floor, one of the best in the west, was of the highest commendation for such an advantage through the influence of these Veterans. The Grand March, led by the officers and members of the Camp afforded an opportunity to witness the latest designs and creations in the world of fashion, and the critical observer could not help from expressing freely on the value of education to a race. A flashlight picture was taken of those who entered the march. The program consisting of fourteen items of dances was carried out by Roy's Orchestra which discoursed such music as to give the finishing touches to the lovers of terpsichore, and after hours of the most exquisite pleasure "Home Sweet Home" brought to a close a never-to-be-forgotten unique event in the life of the Colored citizens of Denver. Capt. Thomas Campbell, commander of the Camp with his officers and members, deserve the congratulations of the community for this grade of high class entertainment which is serving the dual purpose of entertainment and a material help in breaking down the walls of prejudice and exclusiveness of action among the races. The Colorado Statesman expresses its delight over such events which cater to the uplift and advancement of our people. HAMPTON INSTITUTE Hampton, Virginia. Hampton Institute trained the late Mr. Booker T. Washington. Today it is sending Major Robert R. Moton, another graduate, to take up Dr. Washington's work at Tuskegee. For nearly fifty years Hampton has been sending into the South and West bands of well-trained, Christian leaders to help colored and Indian people live richer and better lives. Nearly nine thousand graduates and former students who have felt the influence of Samuel Chapman Armstrong and Hollis Burke Frissell, have been spreading the Hampton idea of education—education for service. This army of leaders has literally transformed the lives of thousands and has brought to hundreds of communities—rural and urban alike—more friendly relations. Hampton Institute is an industrial village with some 1,400 students, 200 teachers and workers, 140 buildings, and an instruction farm of some 600 acres. Whatever work the Hampton School needs to have done, the students are usually prepared to do. Farming, home-making, teaching and the common industries are vital parts of the training of Hampton Institute boys and girls. Blacksmithing, bricklaying and plastering, carpentry, cabinet making, machine work, painting, printing, shoe-making, steamfitting and plumbing, tailoring, tinsmithing, upholstering and wheelwrighting—these trades are offered to ambitious and earnest Negro and Indian boys. Girls receive thorough training in cooking, sewing, laundry work, garmenting and methods of teaching. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Coffeyville, Kan.—A coroner's jury held Dave Cline, a white man, for the murder of little Mary Glass, a fourteen-year-old colored girl, whose body was found in the Verdigris river some days ago. Cline is quite a wealthy man and this girl was in his employ, and all the evidence points to his guilt. Under the rules of the Supreme court the offense is bailable and bond was fixed at $10,000. The people of both races got together and ran the murderer down. Galveston, Tex.—The Ave. L. Baptist church awarded a contract this week for a new brick veneer church, costing about $20,000, when fully equipped and finished, to Negroes, who will do the job from start to finish; and they are giving a bond to do the work just like any other firm of contractors. The Tanner Brothers of Columbus, Texas, are the contractors. The plans and specifications were also drawn by Eugene Tanner, an architect equal to any in town. Bishop Scott of Liberia, Africa, was assigned to the Worden, one of the hotels in Saratoga, the proprietor of which is an Irishman. Bishop Scott is the only bishop of color on the bench. At mealtime the Bishop found himself behind an improvised screen after he had taken his seat at the table. One of the white delegates discovering his segregated position inquired the meaning for this singular arrangement, when the Bishop replied that he did not know just how it came about; he just found himself there and that was all the explanation he could give. The white delegates then took up the matter with the proprietor, who refused to alter the arrangement. Whereupon the entire white delegation, with Bishop Scott, walked out, baggage in hand. This is just what should have been done. The 'dea of an Irishman making that kind of invidious distinction between a cultivated Christian gentleman. WHITE LAWYER GOT WORST OF FIGHT. Chattanooga, Tenn., May 10.—A Chattanooga attorney, old enough to know better, is nursing several scratch wounds on his face as the result of his violation of the race segregation regulations on a street car the other afternoon. It was a Missionary ridge car that staged the brief but strenuous encounter. The lawyer had seated himself within the section marked "for the colored race," and, noting a white woman who had just entered the car and was standing at the rear, he NO 42 beckoned for her to come to the front and have a seat beside him. Two colored women, apparently tired after a hard day's work, were standing in the aisle beside the "colored" seat the lawyer had occupied, and one of them, of considerable avoirdupois, calmly sat down in the horrified attorney's lap. Things began to happen quite rapidly. The lawyer shoved the black woman out the front door of the car, but she returned to the scenes showing quite as much "pep" as Atlas ever exhibited after a dozen falls. She kicked the embarrassed barrister and scratched his face and called down maledictions on his head. Then the conductor interfered and everybody concerned got off the car and peace reigned. GIRL WINS DAMAGES FROM HEAD OF SCHOOL. Huntington, W. Va.—In the Circuit court, Judge John T. Graham presiding, the Rev. C. E. McGhee, former superintendent of the Colored Orphans' Home, was sued for damages by a former pupil of that institution, Lirleen Tinsley Liddy, the girl charging that at various times during her stay at the home she had been criminally assaulted by McGhee. McGhee resigned from the superintendency of the institution after a visitor from the State Board of Control had found the young girl with a baby of which she was the mother in her arms and apparently again in a delicate condition. McGhee denied his guilt and introduced evidence to show that the girl had been intimate with another employé of the home, but the girl denied this and produced letters from the matron of the home in which she was asked to say that McGhee had never wronged her but had treated her as a father. The jury returned a verdict for the girl, assessing damages against McGhee in the sum of $1,000. Application for a new trial was denied, but it is probable that McGhee will appeal the case. Men of Genius Used "Dope." Some of the most brilliant writers have been known as victims of insidious drugs. Thomas de Quincey confessed to opium in one of the most remarkable of all confessions. His friend, Coleridge, was more secretive. That brilliant youth, Thomas Chatterton, starved and "doped" and died at eighteen years. Christopher Marlowe died a miserable death from "dope" and debauch, and even the "Swan of Avon" has been suspected, these and a long list of other great ones having given evidence in their writings by indirect confession of a want of "tired nature's sweet restorer."

SHIP $20,000 IN GOLD MINI#G INDUSTRY BOOMS AND OLD PROPERTIES OPEN. Two Dredging Companies Near Breckenridge Reported Taking Out $45,000 a Month From Streams. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Breckenridge, Colo.—Twenty thousand dollars' worth of gold bricks were sent to the United States mint at Denver last week from Breckenridge. Fifteen thousand dollars worth of placer gold in "bricks", dredged from the stream beds of the Breckenridge district, was the Tonopah Placers Company's contribution to the mint, and a $5,000 gold brick from the French Gulch Dredging Company made up the $20,000. The two dredging companies are said to be taking out between $45,000 and $50,000 worth of placer gold a month at present. The Dunken lease, on Nigger hill near Breckenridge, shipped sixty tons of lead ore last week to the local Chamberlin sampler. As the lead ore came from the vein, which has at intervals supplied rich pockets of heavy coarse free gold, it is believed that the gold contained in the lead ore will bring its value up to nearly $30 a ton. While the soft and muddy condition of the road between the Wellington Mines Company's ore mills and the railroad depot have prevented the ore teams from hauling average loads still the company's output shipped during May will equal 1,600 tons of zinc ores concentrates, said to run upwards of 42 per cent zinc, sixty tons of lead ore concentrates and 100 tons of "iron" concentrates. Both of the concentration mills on the property are kept running full time with three shifts of operatives. The Old Union's new shaft, which is being sunk in the valley of French creek to open the old Union vein, en countered some good lead sulphide ore. The Jessie mine in Gold Run is doing development work with a force of men. New people are constantly arriving here, looking up old properties that were former producers of zinc, lead and gold ores. It is probable that a number of the old-time producers will be put back into the shipping class early in the summer. Auto Dashes Off Precipice; Kills Man.

RECOGNIZED BY THE RETAIL ASSOCIATION OF THE DENVER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM OF THE FIRST CLASS. UNIFORM ACTION IN CITY APPOINTMENTS. In accepting the policy of the present city administration that efficiency and economy shall be the cornerstone of its business-like government, and realizing the method adopted in securing the best representatives of the people for the composition of Mayor Speer's cabinet and the city council, we are compelled to follow closely the manner in which appointments are made, or positions given to office seekers, for the purpose of seeing that the finest tools and the best arts are engaged to bring about the results hoped for, so that this policy can be carried out successfully. In reference to the Colored population of Denver, who may not play so important a part as to merit a seat in the council (in the estimation of those who are in control) but who can fill clerical positions in some of the departments of the city, we hold the same principle should guide the appointments of our people as the members of the other side, and nothing should be thrust on us without the same procedure as instituted for the more favored and fortunate race. The mayor in the choice of his cabinet, selected men whom he believed after due consideration would be to the best advant age of the system he is introducing and the satisfaction of the people; the different commercial organizations, etc., that were permitted to elect representatives for the city council, gave of their best so as to insure competent assistance to the administrative powers; the persons given clerical and other appointments must have credentials that have favorably impressed the heads of the department before securing the positions—all these subscribe to the safeguarding of a wise and prudent government. Why not adopt the same with the people of our race? We have colored organizations, consisting of reliable and responsible citizens, that have helped in the upbuilding of Denver; individuals with reputations that stand unchallenged in the community, commanding the highest respect, and yet not an opportunity is offered to be in conference with these departmental heads so that we can offer or suggest our best, our highest and our noblest as testimonials of our willingness to participate in everything that counts for the city's progress and unimpaired government. While we are not attempting to dictate who should or should not be appointed among Negroes, yet with facts confronting us, we are ever mindful of the general denouncement of the race for the actions of a few, and if positions of trust are given to individuals of the race in spite of their public ill record, in spite of their utter disregard for the laws pertaining to honor, society and self-respect, then a greater latitude will be afforded those who use us to carry out their selfish ends in depriving us of the last vestige of our American rights and privileges. Our intention is not to knock anyone who may be fortunate to succeed a position, but our only ambition is to warn the authorities against anything distastefu. to our finer feelings and repugnant to the Negroes' sense of honor, duty and self-sacrificing service. TUSKEGEE PRINCIPAL INAUGURAL ADDRESS: On Thursday, May 25, Major Robert R. Morton, the new head of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, was inaugurated in the presence of a large concourse of people, who came from various parts of the country to attend the commencement exercises of the year 1916. The greater portion of the address consisted in a review of the life-work of the builder of Tuskegee, his illustrious predecessor, the late Dr. Booker Washington, the same portraying the great responsibility and the importance of the work assigned him and his assistants. Starting out with the motto "We Can Do It," Major Moton clearly showed his hearers that while the responsibility is great, yet the opportunity is a tremendous one, and if responsibilities and opportunities were measured up, their motto would be carried to a successful issue. He showed the numerous pitfalls that would retard the prosperity of Tuskegee Institute if such were to be harbored by faculty and pupils, and emphasized the greater service to the nation, and Tuskegee would be, if all concerned would use every opportunity and strive in every reasonable way to develop and strengthen between white and black people, North and South, that unselfish co-operation which has characterized the Institute from its very beginning. He further impressed his audience that the qualities of patience, persistence, unselfish devotion and consecration in and to the work of training black men and women for true and laudable service in whatever capacity they fill, must be possessed by those who are entrusted to train our people for life's great work. He assured them if the great and sacred trust committed to him must be carried out successfully, which means the perpetuity of the ideas and ideals, the aims and purposes of Dr. Washington, then the spirit of self-forgetfulness, service and sacrifice, COOPERATION and CONSECRATION must be strictly adhered to by his co-workers and himself which will reflect the true Tuskegee spirit in America, never to be efaced. In closing, Major Moton made special reference to team-work in the spiritual and religious work of the Institute, which he said was the highest of all the essentials towards the advancement of the best interests of Tuskegee. The Colorado Statesman having followed the career of this gentleman whom we believe is a worthy successor to our revered and respected Booker T. Washington, can only wish for him every possible success in his new sphere, and pray that the inspiration gathered at Hampton Institute (the Alma mater also of the editor) making his work there a success may accompany him to Tuskegee for a broader, bigger and more purposeful life. Tue co-operation and devotion to duty, which he requests, we are quite sure we will find in an unsurpassed harmonious relationship between himself, his staff and the pupils. A brilliant career and a greater Tuskegee is our best wish for Major Robert Russa Moton. A day spent in school by a half-sick child may result in a week's serious illness. If, as so often happens, the slight indisposition proves to be the beginning of some communicable disease, the Sending Sick Children to School By SAMUEL G. DIXON, M.D., Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania a half-sick child may result in a week's serious illness. If, as so often happens, the slight indisposition proves to be the beginning of some communicable disease, the result is that other children in the school are exposed and those who are susceptible will follow in turn School authorities are naturally anxious to secure regularity of attendance on the part of the students and many parents feel that they are simply doing their duty in forcing children to go to school who complain of not feeling well. It is much better for a child to lose an occasional day's schooling than to risk bringing on an illness and exposing others. Children's recuperative powers, generally speaking, are superior to those of older people. Proper rest and care will often ward off serious illness, but this requires care and insight on the part of the parents, as the children themselves are not apt to call attention to their condition until they become seriously ill. Loss of appetite, feverishness, lassitude, discoloration of the eyes, all are indications which should be watched as symptoms of indisposition. The work which children lose in the schools they can make up far more readily than that which they lose in health. Satisfactory mental progress cannot be made unless health is first considered and school authorities should realize that the total amount of time lost is far greater owing to the added possibility of spreading communicable disease when half-sick children are permitted in school. When children are ill their playmates should not be permitted to go to see them until it is absolutely certain that they are not suffering from some communicable disease. Colds are communicable. Parents should see that their children do not visit other youngsters who are ill, and infants should never be taken into houses where there is danger of their contracting illness from children who are not well. Water taken as a tonic assures a happy disposition, a clear complexion, a good appetite, and a liberal amount of "pep." Water may be taken at any time by the average person without injury to the system. Old physicians have advised against drinking water at meal times. Their theory was incorrect, as no harm can result provided one does not wash down the food. Water stimulates the kidneys, the bowels, and the pores of the skin. A good digestive system is almost an assurance of perfect health. Pure water is a tonic for this system, and moreover is the best tonic a person can take. Ice water should not be drunk by the healthy person no matter how hot the day, for its temperature is too far below that of the body. An athlete should not drink water just before or after a contest. Water taken on an empty stomach cleans out the digestive tract and prepares these organs better to digest the food. There is such a thing as taking too much of nature's tonic. An excess of water overworks the excretory organs just as does an overdose of prepared tonic. The source of tonic water should be tested several times a year. Although water is the best of tonics, it may carry the worst of germs. Always be sure drinking water is pure. Things You Will Do If Well Bred By CHARLES PARNELL STUART, London, Eng. You will be kind. You will not use slang. You will try to make others happy. You will never indulge in ill-natured gossip. You will not forget engagements, promises or obligations of any kind. You will never make fun of the peculiarities or idiosyncrasies of others. You will never under any circumstances cause another pain if you can help it. You will not think that "good intentions" compensate for rude or gruff manners. You will be as agreeable to your social inferiors as to your equals and superiors. You will not have two sets of manners, one for "company" and one for home use. You will never remind a cripple of his deformity or probe the sore spots of a sensitive soul.

Listen to fellow travelers in subway, trolley, boat, train, automobile or airship; you'll hear all of 'em say every once in so often, "The trouble is." The trouble is, as Job says: "Man that is born of woman is of few days, and full of trouble." Maybe man tries in this way unconsciously to get some of it out of his system. Sir Thomas More, international pathfinder, indicates the last and crowning road into internationalism, the road of law and order, the reign of reason. In his Law and Order As Pathway to Peace By JENKIN LLOYD JONES, Chicago the reign of reason. In his Utopia, a dream state, the Land of Nowhere, he gave the noblest classic in that noble list which begins with Plato's "Republic." It is as obvious today as it was in the time of Sir Thomas More that homeless boys, jobless men, hunted women and debauched girls are the direct result of extravagance, the violations of the most obvious requirements of the laws of purity and economy, which in the end are one. It is as bad to kill now as then. Armies debilitate now as then. --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN --- The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West --- A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

The field day and track meet held under the auspices of the Young Men's and the Young Women's Christion Associations at Rocky Mountain Lake on Decoration Day drew a crowd of over a thousand people, and was a complete success from start to finish. Never in the history of Denver has a more orderly crowd come together than the one which gathered there that day. Not an oath, not an angry word, nor a loud, boisterous voice heard the whole day long. At the close of the day the officer in charge of the park told Secretary Bell that he had never handled a more well-behaved and genteel set of people. The promoters of the outing, officers of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.s are happy that they were able to give the public a day of such clean, high-class sport. A list of the winners cannot be given this week, but will be given in the notes of next week. Croquet is the thing next in order, and will be regularly installed by the last of the week. Lovers of the game are all ready for it. Members of the Young Women's Christian Association will also be permitted to use the grounds. Owing to the approach of Summer, the Life Problems class has adjourned until early fall. A "drop-in" Bible Class will soon be organized, so that those who can spare the time on Saturday evenings may still come. A song service will be held by the boys at the meeting next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. A new yymnal has been purchased for the boys' meetings, and they will have a rll Sunday afternoon. On Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock an interesting program will be rendered at the men's meeting. Rev. R. L. Pope and Rev. James Washington, who have just returned from the general conference of the A. M. E. church which was held in Philadelphia, will be the speakers. Dr. Pope will speak on "Some Impressions of the General Conference." Dr. Washington will speak on "My First Visit to New York—What I Think of It." Miss Helen Minnis will sing, "Home Again From a Foreign Shore." All will be welcome. YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION NOTES. The annual meet of the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. at Rocky Mountain Lake on Decoration Day was a wonderful success. Miss Carrie Grow and Miss Mary Brown were the most successful contestants of the young ladies, winning two valuable prizes. Several other young ladies were successful blue ribbon winners. The silver loving cup went to Zion Sunday school (Baptist, having the largest number of successful contestants. We are very much disappointed because our president, Mrs. Lydia Smith Ward, was expected home this week but has deferred her arrival until attending the wedding of the Rev. A.

She illustrated her address by showing us some beautiful paintings of scenes in and near Denver. On this Monday we had a beautiful musical program Mrs. Bondurant was in charge. Instead of the Vesper service at 1:30 p. m. on Sunday's, we will now keep open house from 4 until 6 p. m. Mrs. Froman will be the hostess this Sunday afternoon, assisted by Mrs. Ruth Harris. This change will last throut the summer.

The HOME BEAUTIFUL Flowers and Shrubbery Their Care and Cultivation THE FLOWER MARKET The Daisy Should Have a Place in Every Garden. ```markdown ``` Roses and Hydrangeas Massed Give Great Beauty. No flower in all the garden series is more beloved than the star-eyed daisy, or marguerite. And perhaps no flower has undergone a more decided improvement than this same flower, which fills the meadow spaces with its nodding white and in better soil looks stateller from the garden path. The daisy should have a place in the garden. They make delightful borders to beds of taller-growing annuals, and can be used very effectively in beds of spring-blooming bulbs. Daisies may be sown at intervals for succession, in shallow boxes of light, rich soil. Cover the seed to about three times their own thickness, and press the soil firmly over them. Keep the box in a warm window, greenhouse or hotbed. Transplant to new boxes and set out in the open ground when danger from frost is past. Daisies can be sown in beds outside in August or September. They must be protected with straw or litter through the winter and transplanted to their permanent position in the spring. The orange daisy, South African orange daisy, has become a great favorite. It was introduced a few years ago and has been made much of at the flower shows and is used largely on big estates. It is excellent for borders and as a pot-plant. THE BEAUTY OF HYDRANGEAS By LIMA R. ROSE. One of the best late flowering, hardy shrubs is the hydrangea. While there are other shrubs that I like better, this one seems to be a favorite with the masses. It has the merit of extreme hardiness, easy culture, great floriferousness, late blooming and persistence. Its flowers lose their early whiteiness as the season advances, but in their pinky brown stage they are not without attractiveness, and even after snow comes they afford pleasing effects when seen against a background of pure white. In planting the hydrangeas, I would never advise using them singly. They are vastly more effective when grouped. By this means we secure for it a strength and dignity which single specimens never have. Planted thickly this plant produces a grand effect. Those who are in search of a plant that will grow in any soil and under almost any condition, and has hardi- ness enough to withstand the trying ordeal of the severest northern winter, will find the hydrangea the very thing they are looking for. THE WHITE CARNATION By BETTY PAKE. The search for the pure white carnation, one that will keep its pure color for a long period, has never been quite successful. It is a fact that the average variety remains under cultivation but a few years, and they are constantly running out. They must, herefore, constantly be replaced by newer and more vigorous varieties grown from the seed. Often a carnation that produces beautiful white flowers for two or three years fails entirely after that time. The common garden soil will not do for the carnation. It should be composed of about three-fourths rich, dark loam and one-fourth well-rotted manure. This should be thoroughly mixed several times and by September, ber the first cuttings should be placed in boxes about five inches deep. Set the plants about ten inches apart. Syringe thoroughly with water until they have a good start. The plants should be staked in order to keep the flowers above the foliage. The soil should be frequently treated with liquid manure—cow, sheep or hen droppings are excellent—but it should not be too strong, say about the color of weak tea. If you want large flowers you must disbud the plants judiciously. Give them plenty of water and ventilation, and syringe with tobacco extract to discourage the red spider. It potted, they should be in pots of from four to seven inches according to the size of the plants. The best way is to propagate them in cold frames, leaving them uncovered as long as possible. The early frosts will not injure them. As the cold weather comes on, cover the sashes, but on bright, sunshiny days uncover and give them plenty of air. Of course in very severe weather they must be thoroughly protected against freezing. If they are properly cultivated they will bloom in a month or six weeks. While carnation growing is not particularly difficult, the plants must be attended to with great regularity They are rich feeders and therefore must have very rich soil, plenty of water and all the air and sun they can get at the last in order to bring them forward quickly. Custards of various kinds are always favorite desserts and may be shared with the children. One egg to a cupful of milk and a tablespoonful of sugar will make two small custards and the consistency will be good unless the custard is wanted for molding. In that case more egg will be necessary to make it stand up. Cup custards are more festive in appearance if decorated with a spoonful of bright-colored jelly, a candied cherry or cranberry, or a spoonful of whipped cream and a sprinkling of nuts. Baked custard has a finer flavor than the boiled and is particularly good with fruit tarts or fresh berries. Care should be taken about the cooking. If baked, place the custards or the custard dish in hot water and watch carefully not to overbake, as it will separate and be tough and coarse. Custard should be smooth and velvety when cooked. Test it with a clean knife; if it comes out clean the custard is cooked. Nutmeg is a good flavor for simple custards, or orange rind, grated maple sugar or caramel, all are favorites. Chocolate or cocoa sprinkled over the top just before serving is liked by chocolate lovers, or it may be put on as it goes into the oven. A pinch of salt is a necessary adjunct to a well flavored custard and without it it is flat and tasteless. An orange-flavored custard is served with a teaspoonful of orange marmalade on top. Caramel Custard—Put a half cupful of sugar in a omelet pan, stir occasionally until melted and a light brown color. Add a quart of milk gradually stirring carefully; then add the milk to five eggs beaten slightly, add a pinch of salt, a teaspoonful of vanilla and strain into a buttered mold. Chill and serve with a caramel sauce. This custard is rich enough to mold; four eggs will make it sufficiently rich, although the more eggs the more nutritious. For the sauce, brown a cupful of the sugar and add a half cupful of water. Cool before serving. In spite of Plutarch's aphorism that "hunger and salt should be man's only sauce," we are so accustomed to condiments of various kinds that the appetite fails if denied them. Condiments and spices are used as adjuncts to foods, and in themselves supply little nourishment, their effect being mainly a stimulating character to the nerves of taste or secretion. They serve a purpose in adding flavor to insipid food and relieve monotony in diet. In some dyspeptic conditions of the stomach the use of strong condiments like red pepper or tabasco sauce affords relief by exciting the activity of the stomach, but as to their value in prolonging health they are much over-estimated. The use of some condiments is likely to be abused, such as pepper, curry and vinegar. When used in excess, they seriously disorder the digestion. Curry powders of various sorts are prepared by mixing strong condiments, such as red pepper, ginger and turmeric and starch. People leading indolent lives and indulging too freely in the good things of the table, are tempted to aid the stomach by the use of exciting stimulants. In warm climates this is especially noted. The advice given to those not used to hot climates is to confine the food to fruit and vegetables largely, shunning nitrogenous food and condiments and alcoholic beverages. Next to salt, which is the symbol of hospitality in the Orient and is a necessity in nearly all our foods, comes pepper, mustard, ginger and vinegar. Much difference of taste as to the use of condiments exists. The Persians like asafetida, which most of us remember with not a little unpleasantness as a disinfectant. Certain condiments are best served with certain foods; thus mustard and ham, pepper with eggs, red pepper with raw oysters, vinegar with spinach. Neville Maxwell How It's Done.

HILL IS DEAD EMPIRE BUILDER DIED AT 78 IN ST. PAUL HOME. Life of Railroad Magnate Was the History of the Development of Six Western States. Western Newspaper Union News Service. St. Paul, Minn., May 31.—James J. Hill, railroad builder, capitalist and most widely known figure of the Northwest, died at his Summit avenue residence Monday morning as the result of an infection due to bowel trouble. Mr. Hill was unconscious for nearly two hours before he died, Dr. German M. Biggs and Dr. Stanley Seager, together with members of the immediate Hill family, were at the bedside when the end came. Saturday Mr. Hill became much worse and Dr. Mayo, with his brother, Charles, again rushed to St. Paul on a special train. An operation was performed Saturday afternoon, a carbuncle on the posterior of Mr Hill's thigh being drained. After the operation it was stated that it had been critical and the patient's condition was grave on account of his advanced age. The family statement made Monday was as follows: Mr. Hill passed away very peacefully after several hours of unconsciousness. All members of the immediate family were present except one daughter, Mrs. Anson Beard, who will arrive tonight, and one grandson, James N. B. Hill, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hill, who will arrive from Cambridge Tuesday. "Vicar General Gibbons attended Mr. Hill during his last hours, and will officiate at the funeral services at the house and also at the grave. The public services will be at the residence, 240 Summit avenue, at 2 p.m. Wednesday. Interment will be in private at North Oaks, where a family mausoleum or memorial chapel will probably be built. "Because of the simplicity which the family know would be the desire of Mr. Hill, the request is made that 10 flowers or floral offerings be sent to the house. Tuesday, at 2 p.m., at the residence, an opportunity will be given the veteran employees of the Great Northern Railway Company to pay their respects and take a last farewell of their old employer." The active pallbearers will be M. R. Brown, Ralph Buda. Charles W. Gordon, J. M. Gruber, P. L. Howe, W. P. Kenney, Charles Maitland, George A. MacPherson, Theoore Schultz and J. J. Toomey.' Mr. Hill was born in Rockwood, a Canadian hamlet, Sept. 16, 1838. His father and mother had emigrated from Ireland with their parents years before; took out a Canadian "claim" and settled on a farm. For a time Hill's father kept a small tavern. When the future magnate was 14 years old his father died. James then quit school and became a clerk in a village store. Mr. Hill married Miss Mary Mehegan, a young and comely Irish lass, who served at the hotel where Hill boarded. James J. Hill discovered the "bread basket of the world" in the great Northwest; he led in its development from a wilderness into what now comprises six wealthy states dotteed with 400,000 farms; and he blazed a trail for transportation which reached eventually from Buffalo to Asia, with a total mileage of rail and steamship facilities that would nearly girdle the earth. Mr. Hill's wealth is estimated all the way from $100,000,000 to $500,000,000. He was probably worth between $200,000,000 and $250,000,000. Hill had nine children, six girls and three boys. The eldest son, Louis Warren Hill, who has succeeded to a large portion of his father's responsibilities, married a trained nurse in Minnesota. The Hills have never gone in for social affairs, and although their residence in St. Paul cost over $750,000, and they possess several country places, they have lived simply and quietly. Demise Regretted in "Street" New York.—The news of the death of the man who for two generations has been a dominant personality in the financial community was received in Wall street with many expressions of sorrow and a feeling of almost personal loss, for James J. Hill had not only many intimate friends among foremost financiers, but was a familiar and popular figure with Wall street workers. Mr. Hill was famous in the financial community for his quant humor and his conservative, though optimistic views of general conditions throughout the country, which were almost invariably sought every time he visited "the street." Archbishop John Ireland said: "A great man has gone from earthly life. Not only a man of rarest talent of mind, a genius such as is seldom to be seen amid the moving scenes of humanity, but also one who has put his wondrous talent to the service of fellow men, whose whole career was marked with strict integrity and highest sense of honor. This much too, I must say in simplest truth, that he loved and respected religion and held the Christian faith to be the supreme principle of human righteousness and human life."

MONTHLY REVIEW COTON GOODS IN CHINA FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW CONFERENCE RULINGS RADIO SERVICE BULLETIN PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS This collection of title pages from a few of the many publications of the government gives some idea of the variety of Uncle Sam's activities in behalf of the citizens of the United States. Below in the center are shown the storm-warning flags of the weather bureau. Uncle Sam is not only Big Boss, but Big Brother, Big Booster and Man Friday to American business and rapidly is becoming more so. If the Uncle Sam machinery in aid of business were to shut down tomorrow, business would be in exactly the fix of Robinson Crusoe minus his faithful henchman or of a two-year-old deserted by his eighty-year-old escort in the midst of a public playground's hurly-burly. Scarcely an industry in the whole field of business can be named to aid which some government bureau is not constantly at work. Usually each industry is directly served in various ways by more than half a dozen federal institutions. results are compiled in the Monthly Review issued by the United States bureau of labor statistics. Recently one of the trade scouts of a big manufacturing concern reads six lines in the Daily Commerce Reports of the department of commerce—and scored orders from a Portu guese firm aggregating over $100,000. There are eight bureaus in the department of commerce. All are concerned in some way with industry and commerce. Largest and most directly related to business of these eight bureaus is the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. It gathers trade information from all over the world and passes it out to American manufacturers and exporters. Most of the For the banker and all who deal with banks—just about everybody—there's the new federal reserve system. For shipers and for railways there's the interstate commerce commission. For interstate traders, to stand guard against "unfair competition," there's that fledgling product of the progressive movement—the trade commission. All of which merely touches the high places. If you are a small farmer and lack a market for a portion of your output, the department of agriculture helps you find it. If you are a manufacturer and you are seeking new markets at home or abroad, the department of commerce points you the best opportunities. The mint service of the treasury assays the ores found by thousands of prospectors every year. Experts test the soil of thousands of farms every year to determine what crops are best adapted to them. A telegraph and mail news service operated by the government for the benefit both of the producers and dealers in perishable crops has been started by the department of agriculture. The department of labor recently undertook to provide the American industrial world with an intelligence service reflective of labor conditions the world over and recording the fluctuations of supply and demand in various parts of the United States. The Gross Receipts in 1915 About 7,572 Times as Large as in 1790, First Full Year of Operation. From $37,935 in 1790 to $287,248,165 in 1915 is the increase in the annual gross revenue of the post office department since the first full year of operation of the department, says Uncle Sam. In other words, the business in 1915 was about $7,572 times as large as it was in 1790. In 1790 the gross expenditures of the department were $32,140 and the total compensation paid to postmasters was $8,198. In 1915, the gross expenditures of the department were $298,546,026 and the compensation paid to postmasters amounted to $29,143,127. Other figures on the 1915 business of the post office department give an idea of the volume of Uncle Sam's mail for one year. These figures include the following: Number of post offices, 56,380; miles of mail service performed, 616,460,121; ordinary postage stamps issued, 11,226,386,415; stamped envelopes and wrappers issued, 1,793,764,296; postal cards received, 10,781,927; amount of domestic money orders issued, $654,139,134; amount of international money orders issued, $60,772,073; number of city carriers, 32,902; annual cost of city carrier service, $42,038,876; rural delivery mileage, 1,073,099; cost of rural delivery service, $49,825,000; number of special delivery pieces delivered, 23,486,265; number of postal savings depositors, 525,414; amount of postal savings deposits, $65,684,708. Use Parcel Post for Books. Uncle Sam says an investigation has shown that the parcel post is used on an enormous scale by the principal New York book dealers and that the percentage of damaged shipments is very small. Prices Soar in Switzerland. Uncle Sam says the prices of all foods in Switzerland have risen on an average of 71 per cent since June 1, 1914. results are compiled in the Monthly Review issued by the United States bureau of labor statistics. Recently one of the trade scouts of a big manufacturing concern read six lines in the Daily Commerce Reports of the department of commerce—and scored orders from a Portuguese firm aggregating over $100,000. There are eight bureaus in the department of commerce. All are concerned in some way with industry and commerce. Largest and most directly related to business of these eight bureaus is the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. It gathers trade information from all over the world and passes it out to American manufacturers and exporters. Most of the information is printed in the Daily Commerce Reports. The bureau of mines gave to the country a process devised by one of its chemists, Dr. W. F. Rittman, for the manufacture from petroleum of benzol and toluol, used in the manufacture of dyes and high explosives. This process has since been demonstrated on a commercial scale. Doctor Rittman also devised a process which will enable refiners to increase the output of gasoline from crude petroleum 200 per cent or even more, the patent right to this process to be dedicated to the public to prevent monopoly. Grain dealers, bankers, and all business men who look to the prospect for crops upon general conditions are always deeply concerned in the information furnished regularly by the weather bureau and the bureau of crop estimates. If you want to know what's on the earth or under the earth cr the shape of the earth in the United States, just ask the geological survey. There is constant practical business need for this information. If a new railway, electric or steam, is projected, the engineers before submitting estimates of cost first send for the topographic maps from the geological survey covering the proposed route. All of which is but a part, and a small part, of the story. No, you aren't the only victim of the servant problem. Here is another sufferer. Uncle Sam, rich and powerful, good to his "help," and the surest pay in the world, can't keep his cooks any longer or better than the ordinary suburban commuter. He offers them good pay, easy hours, and lots of "nights out," but they simply will not overlook the fact that they are cooks, bred and born, and so keep moving on. United States marine corps statistics covering the last two years show a greater percentage of men deserted who gave occupation prior to entry as "cooks" than any other class enlisted during the period. Desertions from the marine corps are very light at all times, and were it not for the cooks, marine-corps officials believe that the "oldest branch of the service" would have an almost clean slate with regard to desertions. --- Old Correspondence Being Saved. In response to suggestions from Uncle Sam, many large business houses are aiding in relieving the shortage of paper by saving their old correspondence, which in the past has been burned. These houses are now putting old correspondence in with other waste paper, which finds a ready sale. One large concern has found a market in this way for about five hundred tons of old correspondence yearly. Less Canned Fish Imported. United States Consul Dunlap at Stavanger, Norway, in a dispatch to the department of commerce, says the exports of canned fish to the United States have fallen off 50 per cent within a year. This makes a decrease of practically 75 per cent since 1914. An increased European demand for fish because of the war is given as the cause for the decrease. STOP SEIZING MAIL U. 8. NOTIFIES BRITAIN AND FRANCE IN VIGOROUS NOTE. "Lawless Practice" on Seas "No Longer Can Be Tolerated," and Allies Are Warned to Change Policy. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, May 29.—The text of the communication addressed to the British and French ambassadors, to whom it was delivered Wednesday, in part follows: "Department of State, Washington, May 24, 1916.—Excellency: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your letter of recommendation, to missing a memorandum dated February 15, 1916, and communicated in substance to the American ambassador in London on February 28th, in which are stated the contents of the British press report regard to the right to detain and examine parcel and letter mails en route by sea between the United States and Europe. "After a discussion of the use of the mails for the transmission of parcels and of the limitations to be placed on the joint memorandum of February 15 closes with the following assertions: 1. That from the standpoint of the right of visitation and eventual arrest and seizure, merchandise shipped in post parcels needs not and shall not be shipped in any other manner. "2. That the inviolability of postal correspondence stipulated by the eleventh convention of The Hague of 1907 and the allied governments to visit and, if occasion arise, arrest and seize merchandise hidden in the wrappers, envelopes or letters contained in the mail bags. That true to their engagements and respectful of genuine 'correspondence' the allied governments will refrain for the present, on the high seas, from seizing and confiscating such correspondence, letters or dispatches and will insure their speediest possible journey as soon as the sincerity of their character shall have been ascertained." Allies' Contention Rejected. "In reply the government of the United States desires to state that it does not consider that the postal union convention of 1966 necessarily applies to French governments with the overseas transportation of mails of which the government of the United States complains. Furthermore, the allied powers appear to have overlooked the admission of the government of the United States that post parcels may be treated as merchandise subject to the exercise of belligerent rights as recognized by international law. The admission of the United States does not admit that such parcels are subject to the exercise of the rights of police supervision, visitation and eventual seizure which belongs to belligerents with refusal to obey the laws on the higher court as asserted in the joint note under acknowledgment. Right of Search Limited. "It is noted with satisfaction that the British and French governments do not claim, and, in the opinion of this government, properly do not claim, that their so-called 'blockade' measures are a right to interfere with all classes of mail matter in transit to or from the central powers. "On the contrary, their contention appears to be that 'as genuine correspondence' is not vulnerable to mail matter of other classes is subject to detention and examination. While the government of the United States agrees that 'genuine correspondence' mail is inviolable, it does not admit that belligerents may furnish any other purpose than to discover whether they contain articles of enemy ownership carried on belligerent vessels or articles of contraband transmitted under sealed cover as letter mail, though they may intercept at sea or go along to ports of the enemy's coasts which are effectively blockaded. Molla Seized in Port. "The governments of the United States, Great Britain and France, however, appear to be in substantial agreement as to principle. The method of applying the principle is the chief element of offerment." Though giving assurances that they consider 'genine correspondence' to be 'inviolable', and that they will, 'true to their engagements', refrain 'on the high seas from seizing and confiscating such correspondence', the allied governments are needed to deprive neutral governments of the benefits of these assurances by seizing and confiscating mall from vessels in port instead of at sea. They compel neutral ships without access to their own ports or they induce shipping lines, through some form of duress, to send their mall ships via British ports, or they detain all vessels merely calling at British ports—thus acquiring by force or unjustifiable means an illegal juridic- Censorship Assailed. "Acting upon this enforced jurisdiction, the authorities remove all mail, genuine correspondence as well as post parcels; take them to Loewen and parcel them through neutral origin and destination, is opened and critically examined, to determine the 'sincerity of their character', in accordance with the interpretation set forth in the British and French censors. Finally, the expurgated remains is forwarded, frequently after irreparable delay, to its destination. These detained en route to or from the United States or to or from other neutral countries, and mails are held and delayed for several days, and, in some cases, for weeks, and even months, even though not routed for North Europe, via British ports. "This has been the procedure which has been practiced since the annotated law of January 1916. To present, the same practice was followed before that date, calling for the protest of this government of January 4, 1916. But to that protest the memorandum under acknowledgement makes no reference and is entirely responsive. United States Insists on Position. The government of the United States administers with emphasis that the British and French governments do not obtain rightful jurisdiction. Church Doubles Pension Fund. Church Doubles Pension Fund. Saratoga Springs, N. Y.—Authorization of a campaign to raise $10,000,000 for the pension fund for retired Methodist ministers and their widows was given by the general conference, which adopted a resolution continuing an effort begun eight years ago, to provide an adequate competence fund for the clergy when they are too old for active work. Four years ago the goal was set at $5,000,000. Plans were adopted to provide funds to finance the campaign. tion of ships by forcing or inducing them to visit their ports, for the purpose of seizing their mails, or thereby of seizing their belonged rights as to such ships than the United States can afford the high seas; for there is, in the opinion of the government of the United States, no legal distinction between the British and French practices which is announced as abandoned, and their seizure from vessels voluntarily or involuntarily in port. The British and French practice amounts to unarmed illumination of the use by neutrals of the world's highway for the transmission of correspondence. The practice actually follows the same powers must be said to justify the coercion before, that the announcement of February 15 was merely notice that one illegal practice had been abandoned to place for the development of another, more onerous and vexuous in character. Hague Rule Violated. "The present practice is a violation not only of the spirit of the announcement of February 15, but of the rule of The Hague Convention, upon which it is codified based. Aside from this, it is a violation of the principle of nations which Great Britain and her allies have in the past assisted to establish and maintain. "The arbitrary methods employed by the British and French governments have dispassionately to citizens of the United States, less than papers which can never be duplicated, or can be duplicated only with great difficulty, such as United States patients for inventions, rare documents, legal papers relating to the settlement of the United States, fire insurance claims, income tax returns and similar matters, have been lost. "Delays in receiving shipping documents have caused great loss and inconvenience by preventing prompt delivery of goods. "Business opportunities are lost by failure to transmit properly bids, specifications and contracts." Money Order Lists Missing. "Business correspondence, relating to legitimate and bona fide trade between neutral countries, correspondence of a personal nature, and also official correspondence such as money orders, the latter forwarded by government departments, are detained, lost or possibly destroyed. Only are American commercial interests injured, but rights of property are violated, and the rules of international law and custom are palpably disregarded. I can only add that this continuing office of the US secretary to such American citizens and to a possible responsibility of the United States to repair them, that this government will be compelled in the near future to press claims for further reclamation upon the foundation of HI Majesty's government and that of the French Republic. Details of United States Stand. "The government of the United States is inclined to the opinion that the class of mail matter which includes stocks, bonds, coupons and similar matters to be handled as of the same nature as merchandise or other articles of property and subject to the same exercise of belligerent rights. Money orders, checks, drafts, notes and other negotiable instruments may pass as the equivalent of money received, also to be classed as merchandise. "Correspondence, including shipping documents, money order lists and papers of that character, even though relating to "enemy supplies or exports," that property referred to, are, in the opinion of this government, to be regarded as "genuine correspondence" and entitled to unmolested passage. "The government of the United States, in view of the improper method of French authorities in interrupting mails passing between the United States and other neutral countries and between the United States and the enemies of Great Britain, can be longer of the United States suffer and continue to suffer through these methods. Rights Must Be Observed. "To submit to a lawless practice of this character would open the door to repeated violations of international law, particularly in the ground of military necessity, of which the violator would be the sole judge. Manifestly a neutral nation cannot permit its rights on the high seas to be exercised in the face of the exercise of these rights to be permitted or denied arbitrarily by the government of a warring nation. The rights neutral are as sacred as rights of the armed forces and must be as strictly observed. "The government of the United States, confident in the regard for international law and the rights of neutrals, which the British and French governments and the disregard of which they have urged as vigorously against their enemies in the present war, expects the present practice of the British and French governments in the national mails from or to the United States to cease, and belligerent rights, as excised, to conform to the principle governing the passage of mail matter to the recognized practice of nations. "Only a radical change in the present British and French policy, restoring to the United States its full rights as a national power, will satisfy this government. "ROBERT LANSING." Mrs. Sophia G. Chellew Loses Suit Colorado Springs—The case of Mrs. Sophia Gertrude Chellew, who several years ago started suit for half of the estate of Winfield Scott Stratton, late multimillionaire mining king, was thrown out of court by County Judge W. P. Kinney at the conclusion of several days of evidence. He declared his decision that the claimant was not the widow of Stratton, according to the testimony given by witnesses. His specific findings were: That from Dec. 21, 1873, to Jan. 2, 1874, Stratton was in or near Colorado Springs, and not in Texas, where Mrs. Chellew claims he was. That A. N. Poor, first husband of Mrs. Chellew, died in 1875, and that therefore the claimant was Mrs. Poor at the time she claims to have married Stratton: That the claimant was not married to Stratton Jan. 1, 1874, in Texas, as set forth in her complaint. Judge Kinney's decision ends the suit as far as his court is concerned unless an appeal is taken, which is not expected. Sugar Company Buys Coast Plant.

Is Ready to Sign Peace Agreement With World, and Believes Nations Are Eagerly Awaiting Chance to End Conflict and Banish War Forever. BASIS FOR MEDIATION Speech Before League to Enforce Peace Outlines What He Will Propose If Offer of Mediation Is Made by America to Belligerents. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, May 30.—President Wilson declared here Saturday night before the League to Enforce Peace that the United States was ready to join in any feasible association of nations to preserve the peace of the world against "political ambition and selfish hostility" and in service of "a common order, a common justice and a common peace." He expressed the hope that the terms of peace which end the present war would include such an agreement. Outlining suggestions for peace, which the President said he hoped the United States would make if it has opportunity to do so, he included the provision for absolute freedom of the seas, a contention which has been the keystone of all the diplomatic discussions with Germany and Great Britain, and virtual guarantees of territorial integrity and political independence. Officials interpreted the President's address as a preliminary feeler for peace in Europe. He outlined the conditions on which the United States would move if it made a formal mediatory offer with the idea, it was understood, of learning how such suggestions would be received abroad. Outlines Peace Proposal. "I am sure," said the President, "that the people of the United States would wish their government to move along these lines: "First, such a settlement with regard to their own immediate interests as the belligerents may agree upon. We have nothing material of any kind to ask for ourselves, and are quite aware that we are in no sense or degree parties to the present quarrel. Our interest is only in peace and its future guarantees. "Second, a universal association of nations to maintain the inviolate security of the highway of the seas for the common and unhindered use of all the nations of the world and to prevent any war begun either contrary to treaty covenants or without warning and full submission of the causes to the opinion of the world—a virtual guarantee of territorial integrity and political independence." The fundamentals of a lasting peace, President Wilson said he believed were: "First, that every people has a right to choose the sovereign under which they shall live. Same Liberty for All Nations "Like other nations," the President said, "we have ourselves no doubt once and again offended against that principle when for a little while controlled by selfish passion, as our franker historians have been honorable enough to admit; but it has become more and more our rule of life and action. "Second, that the small states of the world have a right to enjoy the same respect for their sovereignty and for their territorial integrity that great and powerful nations expect and insist upon. "And, third, that the world has a right to be free from every disturbance of its peace that has its origin in aggression and disregard of the rights of people and nations." The outstanding lesson of the world war, the President said, had been that the peace of the world must henceforth depend upon a "new and more wholesome diplomacy." "If this war has accomplished nothing else for the benefit of the world," said he, "it has at least disclosed a great moral necessity and set forward the thinking of the statesmen of the world by a whole age. Repeated utterances of the leading statesmen of most of the great nations now engaged in war have made it plain that their thought has come to this; That the principle of public right must henceforth take precedence over the individual interests of particular nations, and that the nations of the world must in some way band themselves together to see that that right prevails against any sort of selfish aggression; that henceforth alliance must not be set up against alliance, but there must be a common agreement for a common object, and that at the heart of that common object must lie the inviolable rights of peoples and of mankind. "So sincerely do we believe in these things," said the President in conclusion, "that I am sure that I speak the mind and wish of the people of America when I say that the United States is willing to become a partner in any feasible association of nations formed in order to realize these objects and make them secure against a violation." The President told his hearers he had not come to discuss a program but only to avow a creed and give expression to the confidence that the world was approaching a day when some common force would be created for "the service of a common order, a common justice and a common peace." "When the invitation to be here tonight came to me," he said, "I was glad to accept it—not because it offered me an opportunity to discuss the program of the league—that you will. I am sure, not expect of me—but because the desire of the whole world now turns eagerly, more and more eagerly, toward the hope of Do You Know That— peace, and there is just reason why we should take our part in counsel upon this great theme. "It is right that I, as spokesman of our government, should aim to give expression to what I believe to be the thought and purpose of the people of the United States in this vital matter. "This great war that broke so suddenly upon the world two years ago and which has swept within its flame so great a part of the civilized world has affected us very profoundly and we are not only at liberty, it is perhaps our duty to speak very frankly of it and of the great interests of civilization which it affects. The COLORADO STATESMAN "With its causes and its objects we are not concerned. The obscure fountains from which its stupendous flood had burst forth we are not interested to search for or explore. But so great a flood, spread far and wide to every quarter of the globe, has of necessity engulfed many a fair province of right that lies very near to us. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF Our Own Rights Affected. "Our own rights as a nation, the liberties, the privileges and the property of our people have been profoundly affected. We are not mere disconnected lookers-on. The longer the war lasts, the more deeply do we become concerned that it should be brought to an end and the world be permitted to resume its normal life and course again. JOB PRINTING "And when it does come to an end, we shall be as much concerned as the nations at war to see peace assume an aspect of permanence, give promise of days from which the anxiety of uncertainty shall be lifted, bring some assurance that peace and war shall always hereafter be reckoned part of the common interest of mankind. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY "We are participants, whether we would or not, in the life of the world. The interests of all nations are our own also. We are partners with the rest. What affects mankind is inevitably our affair as well as the affair of the nations of Europe and of Asia. Secret Counsels Planned. "One observation on the causes of the present war we are at liberty to make, and to make it may throw some light forward upon the future as well as backward upon the past. It is plain that this war could have come only as it did, suddenly and out of secret counsels, without warning to the world, without discussion, without any of the deliberate movements of counsel with which it would seem natural to approach so stupendous a contest. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. It is probable that if it had been foreseen just what would happen, just what alliances would be formed, just what forces arrayed against one another, those who brought the great contest would have been glad to substitute conference for force. "If we ourselves had been afforded some opportunity to apprise the belligerents of the attitude of which it would be our duty to take, of the policies and practices against which we would feel bound to use all our moral and economic strength, and in certain circumstances even our physical strength also, our own contribution to the counsel which might have averted the struggle would have been considered worth weighing and regarding. We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. New Code for Nations. "And the lesson which the shock of being taken by surprise in a matter so deeply vital to all the nations of the world has made poignantly clear, is, that the peace of the world must henceforth depend upon a new and more wholesome diplomacy. "Only when the great nations of the world have reached some sort of agreement as to what they hold to be fundamental to their common interest and as to some feasible method of acting in concert when any nation or group of nations seeks to disturb those fundamental things, can we feel that civilization is at last in a way of justifying its existence and claiming to be finally established. It is clear that nations must, in the future, be governed by the same high code of honor that we demand of individuals. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction "We must, indeed, in the very same breath with which we avow this conviction admit that we have ourselves upon occasion in the past been offenders against the law of diplomacy which we thus forecast; but our conviction is not the less clear, but rather, the more clear, on that account. Foresees Great Change. "But I did not come here to repeat a program. I came only to avow a creed and give expression to the confidence that I feel that the world is now upon the eve of a great consummation, when some common force will be brought into existence which will safeguard right as the first and most fundamental interest of all people and all governments, when coercion shall be summoned not to the service of political ambition or selfish hostility, but to the service of a common order, a common justice, and a common peace. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver "God grant that the dawn of that day of frank dealing and of settled peace, concord and cooperation may be near at hand." President Wilson was introduced by former President William H. Taft, who is head of the League to Enforce Peace, and many of the nation's most notable men heard him speak. Vice President Marshall, several cabinet members and many members of Congress, diplomats and publicists were present. Other speakers were President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Taft Re-elected by League. If the allies were committed to the league's program before the war ends, Mr. Marburg said, a permanent peace would be assured. In a defeat of Germany, Mr. Marburg said he saw prospects of a more lasting peace. Room 25 Phone Main 7417 The league re-elected William H. Taft president and created a vice presidency, naming Alton B. Parker for the office.

WALLACE CLOW South 4750. DAY OR NIGHT 10 Summer Coat for the Small Girl THE FILM MAKES A SUCCESS IN THEATRE. Two very practical two-piece suits are pictured, in which a little velvet is used as a garniture on poplin and on taffeta. Poplin is presented this season in about the same plain colors that have proved so popular in taffeta. It has almost the same advantages for summer wear, with its lustrous surface, light weight and durability. But it is a supple material and its lack of the crispness of taffeta has given it second place. In the poplin suit shown here the skirt is plain, finished with a hand-sewed hem. All edges of the coat are bordered with velvet. Bias strips of velvet ribbon may be used for these borders. There is a chic rolling collar of velvet and the cuffs are deep and flaring. In the taffeta suit also the skirt is plain, the maker having centered at- Summer Coat fo A very simple and very pretty taffeta coat for the miss of 10 years or so is as good a choice of finery as can be made in outfitting her for summer. Even the smallest of little ladies goes in silk attire as soon as she can walk without likelihood of falling. For the average purse the little girl's ready-made silk coat is apt to be rather extravagant in price. This is a matter of the work involved and not because of the cost of the silk. To make the best coats involves some hand sewing. Even when economy must be carefully considered the silk coat costs little enough to be within easy reach if it can be made at home. No one with a fair knowledge of plain sewing need hesitate to attempt a coat like the model shown in the picture. All the standard pattern companies supply patterns similar to it. It is a plain, straight-hanging garment, cut with a little flare and finished with two three-inch ruffles. It has main full sleeves, with their lower --- tention on the handsome little coat. It is made with a pointed peplum bordered with velvet, and has an open throat and revers. The standing collar at the back is made of velvet. Round buttons, covered with the silk, are featured in the trimming, and pretty, old-fashioned shellwork trimming made of the taffeta borders the girdle. There are deep cuffs, opened at one side and adorned with the covered buttons. The moderate flare of the skirt is managed in the cutting. It is plair across the front, and at the back three rows of shirring give it the required fullness, with a short yoke adjusted at the waistline. It is a trifle longer than shoetop length. All the gray shades, with blue, green, taupe, and black, are effective in either of the silks pictured. r the Small Girl part set into a cap at the upper arm. Poplins, faille silk and soft satins are used as well as taffeta for silk coats, but taffeta has the preference. Light colors like rose, sage green and tobacco brown and many bright shades of blue are liked for them, and occasionally one sees black, as in the model pictured here. This little coat reaches almost to the bottom of the child's dress. The two ruffles are hemmed over small cords and the second one is put on with a heading. The coat fastens at the front with four flat pearl buttons. A wide cape collar of lace-trimmed organdie and cuffs to match are important elements of style in this model.
