THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO AND NEW MEXICO Our Denomi national College Address Delivered at A. M. E. General Conference, Philadelphia By Rev. R. L. Pope. D .D. VOL. XX11. Our Den nationa Address Delivered at A. M. I adelphia By Re After one hundred years of existence as a Christian church, from every quarter of the globe we have come up to this good day and to this historic spot made sacred by the memory of our founder—Richard Allen—to this our meant of transfiguration, to rejoice over the achievements of the past and to gather inspiration and wisdom for the future. And while our mistakes have been many, our achievements, short of our aspirations, and although at times our anxiety for place has outstripped our passion for souls, still it has pleased the Father of Mercies and the God of all comfort, to so use us in the accomplishment of his divine purposes that, with David, we are forced to exclaim: "The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad." And the great things done for us are nowhere more apparent than in the work of the schools and colleges. It is inspiring to review the magnificent army of Allen, 630,000 strong, keeping pace to the music of the "Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man;" it is animating to recount the splendid array of churches which have been erected in city, hamlet and backwoods throughout this broad land by a poor but faithful and determined people as their monument of wood and stone to their faith in the God of heaven as interpreted by the Church of Allen; it is refreshing to think of our financial department handling its hundreds of thousands annually with which the machinery of the Church is oiled and kept in running condition; or on our missionary department, with its scores of missionaries stationed on our border land, on the coast of Africa and on the isles of the sea; or on the Sunday School Union, with its peerless printing plant and growing production of healthful literature; or on the Allen C. E. League, with its youthful multitude being drilled for active service; or on our publication department, with its brilliant "Quarterly Review" and weekly Recorders; or on that division of our activities designated the Church Extension—the "fire department of the church." I repeat, it is exhilarating to examine the fine achievements which have been brought to pass through these departments, but it is more inspiring to review the work of the Church College, which has made the men who man these departments, and who have brought to pass the great and high things which have made the one hundred years of our existence bright and glorious. If I were called upon to put on exhibition the finest production of the A. M. E. Church during the century just closed I would go to a phase of our work about which we hear comparatively little for such an exhibit. While I admire this magnificent edifice and scores of others which reflect creeditably upon our thrift, frugality and esthetic taste, I would not put forward our churches; and while we have a remarkable financial system, I would not put it forward; and while our membership has enjoyed a phenomenal growth, so much so that we claim today more than one million adherents, still I would not put forward our membership. But I would go, rather, to Wilberforce, Morris Brown, Allen, Kittrell, Western, Shorters, Edward Waters, Payne, Turner and Campbell, and I would put on exhibition the men whose lives have been touched and whose characters have been molded under the influence of these schools; and along with these I would place that magnificent army of self-made men who, under the inspiration of the Church of Allen, have lifted themselves while lifting others. I would put on the platform the splendid men whom the church has produced within an hundred years; and I would say to the world, "These are our jewels." Its Function. The first high function of the denominational college is to encourage and perpetuate that form of higher education in which deep learning and fervent piety are one and inseparable. Its claim to be denominational rests, not upon the assumption that it teaches "sectarianism" or religions, but, rather, upon the fact that it is pervaded by a religious atmosphere. Its function is to give to the world a citizenry possessing a cultivated heart, along with a cultivated mind. Experience has shown that that system of education which provides for the training of the intellect while the heart is left neglected, will not and cannot produce a high and unselfish leadership. President Woodrow Wilson, though greatly confused in his foreign policy, is unusually clear on this point. Says he: "Scholarship has always been most fruitful when associated with religion." And it is for this cause the church college must be maintained at any cost. The A. M. E. Church is committed to the belief that all genuine education must not only extend back to Greece the beautiful, and to Rome the mighty, for its foundation in ancient literature and legal science, but it must also traverse the land of Judea and touch Jerusalem, the holy city, for its fundamentals in religion This is the kind of training that affords safe and sane leadership, and it is for this type the church of God contends. Its Place. And not only do we contend for the highest and best in mental and spiritual culture, but history shows that the A. M. E. College, along with the other denominational colleges, has a large place in American civilization. Notwithstanding the fact that the church school is sometimes branded as being "sectarian" and narrow, and that there is a growing tendency among denominational colleges to go over into the non-sectarian column in order to become eligible for appropria- DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. JUNE 10, 1916 tions from the big foundations, still the fact remains that the largest contribution made by any class of colleges to our western civilization has been made by the denominational college. The institutions for higher education founded in the Revolutionary period and during the fifty years following the adoption of the Constitution were denominational, and up to the middle half of the nineteenth century these colleges constituted nearly all the higher education there was. It was during the last fifty years the "state university," "state college" and "state industrial school" came into existence, and during this time the complexion of our educational system underwent a radical change. With the coming of these state institutions, with their splendid and well-equipped buildings, their large and well-paid faculties, and their handsome appropriations from the state treasury, the church school found itself facing a condition in which not only its source of revenue was materially affected, but its actual existence was threatened. But notwithstanding the ever present obstacles of "inadequate endowment" and "insufficient income," for three quarters of a century the denominational college was the acknowledged leader in higher education, and even at the present time more than 50 per cent of the college students in America are to be found in these schools. This fact is even more largely patient in our education as a race. Long before the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation by the immortal Lincoln, Daniel A. Payne conducted, in Charleston, S. C., a school for colored people; and it was not until persecution became unbearable that he abandoned his post and fled to the North for refuge. But when the smoke of the battlefields of the sixties was lifted there came out of the North a noble band of martyrs bearing precious seeds, which have since blossomed into hundreds of schools and colleges, whose fragrant influence has encircled the globe. And though embarrassed by ignorance, poverty and inexperience, early in our history as a free people the A.M.E. Church took its place along with other Christian organizations, and how well she has wrought has been faithfully portrayed through the statistics given in the quadrennial report of our secretary of education. We are justly proud of this phase of our activities, for the additional reason that it is to the church college we must look for recruits for our ministry. The pressing need or the church today is an increased number of trained young and consecrated men, whose highest ambition is to serve. We must look to the denominational school to supply this need. State colleges have made a comparatively small contribution in this direction. Recent investigations disclosed the fact that of the recruits for the ministry during ten years, less than 7 per cent come from state universities, while over 82 per cent came from denominational schools. In a typical state university only four young men of 1,000 male students are looking forward to the ministry, while in eight Presbyterian colleges, 33 out of 1,000 are preparing themselves to be messengers of the cross. And I think we all will agree that the ratio in our own schools is even greater. This condition says to us that if we would hold our own, not to say advance, the denominational college must be maintained. And, finally, Christian education must be given a larger place in our thought, because it is this kind of trailing that gives us most of the leaders in state, as well as in church. Recent investigation has shown that upward of 75 per cent of the members of our present National Congress were educated in church schools. Only that system of education in which God has a large place will give to the young man of the world noble ideals and the largest possible vision. As we enter a new century let us look conditions quarely in the face and lay greater stress upon our colleges. Let no thought of retraction linger with us, but on all sides let the watchword be Onward! Upward! Forward!!! Upon one occasion, when his forces had been repulsed, Napoleon ordered his drummer boy to beat a retreat. The boy replied that he had never learned how to beat a retreat. His master had never so taught him. He always taught him to beat a charge and he could then beat a charge that would send the broken columns forward with an impetus that would be irresistible. "Beat a charge then," was the command, which was obeyed, and Napoleon's forces rallied, went forward and plucked victory from apparent defeat. If, among us at any time there is heard the voice of the faint-hearted calling for retreat in our educational activities, let it be known now and for all time to come that the drummer boys of our battalion have never learned to beat a retreat. They did not so learn from Allen and Payne, nor have they so learned from their successors. The watchword of the gallant sons of Allen has ever been and must ever be, "Onward and Upward for Christ Our King." Governor Whitman Of New York Pays A Great Tribute To The Late Dr. Boeker T. Washington In speaking of Booker T. Washington at the bazaar given at Manhattan Casino, New York, in aid of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund, Governor Whitman paid a great tribute to the late Tuskegee when, among other things, he said: "A great monument in all justice, should be erected to Booker T. Washington, and in the building of this monument the white race should be permitted to share, for this man belonged to the United States—to America itself. But the monument he most deserves—the memorial he could have most loved—is not to be chiseled from marble or wrought in imperishable bronze. His memory should be imortalized in the nobler lives of the people for whom he lived and to whom he pointed the way." The great lesson to be derived from the life of Booker T. Washington, according to the Governor, was that no reward could be won except by proof of merit. The finest protest against injustice, he said, lay in the continual demonstration of a race's capacity to make "noble use of opportunity." "The old dream of a Negro government in another land was a foolish dream," declared Gcv. Whitman. "You are here, you are part and parcel of America, and there can be no progress in which you are not considered. The greatest monument that you can erect to Booker T. Washington is the recognition of your duties as citizens and Americans and the whole-souled fulfillment of those obligations in such a manner as not only to prove your work but to prove the wisdom of the great democratic experiment." The Governor said the race problem had as yet not been completely solved, but, if the problem had not been solved, Booker T. Washington had made clear the one true solution, by encouraging the Negro to higher self-development. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES One J. M. Hoffman of 640 Riverside Drive, New York City, has returned from the Belgian Congo, Africa, and tells a highly exciting story to the effect that the use of 20,000 native Africans as troops by the Allies makes for a dangerous precedent and menaces the safety of the white man in Africa in case of an uprising of the natives. "Before this," says Hoffman, "the native African has been taught that a white man's body is inviolate, but this employment of natives as soldiers will teach them that the white man is not to be feared any more." It has for years been the custom of the Belgian government to use force and cruel torture in intimidating the native African laborers, but it is entirely probable, according to Hoffman, that this cannot be successfully done in the future. credits bill should be called 'a bill to collect money from the farmers and business men of Illinois and Northern states to loan, through the government, to cotton planters of the South. This is the exact effect of the bill if it becomes a law. The Illinois farmer now borrows money at 5 per cent and a small commission; therefore this bill, with its provision to loan at 6 per cent, will be of no benefit to the Illinois farmer. "This bill provides that twelve loan banks shall be distributed over the United States, the capital of each to be not less than three-fourths of a million dollars, this money to be provided by the government without interest in case private capital is not subscribed. "When the locations for the twelve loan banks are selected does any one doubt the South will be liberally sup- Washington, May 31.—(Special Correspondence)—Denouncing the unfair discrimination characteristic of Democratic legislation, Congressman William McKinley, of Illinois, has presented some facts which every voter should keep in mind. Republicans have never asked for protection for Northern industries alone, but have advocated a nation-wide policy of protection. The present administration, under control of Senators and Representatives from the South, has legislated for the benefit of the South at every opportunity. Mr. McKinley said: "In 1915 four Southern states paid into the United States Treasury less than $1,000,000 incomes taxes. At the same time the state of Illinois and three other Northern states paid into the Treasury over $42,000,000 of income tax, or about fifty times as much as the amount paid by four Southern states. PULLMAN EMPLOYES CAN BUY PULLMAN STOCK Chicago, Ill.-The Pullman Company has announced that employés of the company, who have been in the service a year or more, will be allowed to purchase shares of Pullman stock on the installment plan at $155 per share, which is $10 less than current market quotations. Employés who receive a salary of $500 or less per year may purchase one share, with an increase of one share for each $500 of salary. The stock is to be paid for at the rate of $4 per share each month. Dividends are payable to employés from date of purchase, but 4 per cent interest is required on deferred payments. Facts Every Voter should Keep In mind "The Democratic tariff bill is framed upon the same principles of taxing the North for the benefit of the South Corn is permitted to come into the country free of duty and rice and tobacco are protected. The rural NO 43 credits bill should be called 'a bill to collect money from the farmers and business men of Illinois and Northern states to loan, through the government, to cotton planters of the South.' This is the exact effect of the bill if it becomes a law. The Illinois farmer now borrows money at 5 per cent and a small commission; therefore this bill, with its provision to loan at 6 per cent, will be of no benefit to the Illinois farmer. "This bill provides that twelve loan banks shall be distributed over the United States, the capital of each to be not less than three-fourths of a million dollars, this money to be provided by the government without interest in case private capital is not subscribed. "When the locations for the twelve loan banks are selected does any one doubt the South will be liberally supplied?" "Many of our Southern friends on this floor, during the discussion of this bill, have told us that the private capital of the South is loaned at from 8 per cent to 20 per cent per year. That makes it plain that Southern money will not be subscribed for stock in the loan banks located in the South and that the United States government will be compelled to provide the capital. "This means that the farmers and business men of Illinois and the North must pay in this money in the shape of taxes, as they now do under the present income tax and tariff laws. "Another appropriate title for this bill is to call it a bill to provide $10,000,000 in salaries per year to be paid out of the United States Treasury to deserving Democrats. "The bill expressly provides that the appointments uncer this law shall not be under the civil service. It permits the board appointed by President Wilson to appoint an unlimited number of examiners over the United States at an unlimited salary. This money to be paid out of the Treasury of the United States and not charged up to the borrower. "What an elegant political machine. No wonder, Mr. Speaker, that the Democratic majority in the House promptly voted down an amendment offered by the Republicans to put under civil service these men and thousands of other positions provided for in this bill. "I repeat that it is a bill to build up a huge army of Democratic officeholders and a sectional bill to furnish money to the South at the expense of the North." A MISSISSIPPI COLONY It was indeed a pleasant surprise when we arrived in the neighborhood of Devolent, a few days ago, to find a colony perhaps embracing 2,000 acres of land. J. A. H. Waring, one of the wealthiest Negroes in that section, owns over a thousand acres in this county, representing the very best class of citizens. They have a large public school with more than 205 pupils enrolled and two splendid churches. CONDENSATION OF FRESH NEWS THE LATEST IMPORTANT DIS PATCHES PUT INTO SHORT, CRISP PARAGRAPH8.

A profound sensation has been caused by the speech made in Berlin before the Reichstag by Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg, in which he declared that any further suggestions of peace by Germany would be rufile and evil. His eloquent appeal to the nation to hold on until victory was theirs, and the categorical defiance he hurled at England were greeted with thunders of applause. Five British sailors from the destroyer Shark, who saw their commander, with one leg shattered, fire his last gun as his ship sank, owe their lives to the bravery of Capt. O. C. Christiansen of the Danish steamer Vidar, and the devotion of Danish and Norwegian nurses, who were on board the Danish ship. These women are believed to be the only ones of their sex who saw anything of the naval battle. SPORTING NEWS Standing of Western League Clubs. Clubs— Won. Lost. Pct.

"It was the beautiful things in life that I wanted," she said "and to get them for me he took the money. I am the one that should suffer instead of him."

MASKER AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In an address delivered before the graduating class of the night colored high school at Houston, Tex., Prof. I. M. Terrell said in part: "The fact that the city of Houston makes appropriations for the maintenance of a colored night school certainly has a significance which portends good for the future relationship of the race in this city. It further goes to show that the tendency of the governing element is toward a greater and greater care and interest in all of its citizens. Houston has learned the lesson that its permanence and growth, like that of any city, rest in the highest intelligence and development of all its people. And it is gratifying to note that its public officials as well as its press are showing such broad spirit in their attitude with respect to its colored constituency. "It makes my heart glad to witness this response which my people are giving to the opportunities afforded them in the night school. As the Post editorial so magnanimously said recently, the white people of Houston can no more get along and do not want to get along without the Negro than the Negro without the white people. "While this is true, I want to warn you that we are less able to get along without them than they without us. And it is to our interest to make ourselves more and more indispensable by increasing our usefulness. Nothing is necessary but what is of use and value to the development and progress of world civilization. And the consciousness of this fact should serve to inspire us to greater usefulness both to ourselves and to the public generally. This graduating class should be an inspiration to the whole Negro population not only in Houston but Texas. These men and women realized the possible increase of their value to themselves and to the city by a systematic training of their minds and hands and they have had the ambition and will to apply themselves in order to secure it. "As a constituent of society, in an economic way, each individual owes it to that society to become just as great an asset as is within his capacity to be. And the man or woman who is unselfish enough to study his relations and duties to the society in which he lives, and seeks to adjust himself therewith in such a way as will promote the highest good of all, is the most useful and is bound to secure the good will and praise of that society. This statement has a subtle meaning and it is for you to work out that meaning. I might enlarge upon it somewhat by saying that the individual who would be satisfied with a thing, whatever it was, upon the sole condition that it suited him, without regard to how it affected the rest of humanity, is an unfit and undesirable citizen. This applies alike to all men of all stations, everywhere. "I am glad that we have some among us, as represented by the 23 persons who have come up through the courses of the night school to the point where they are permitted to sit before us to graduate, who have been broad enough in their vision to see that their duty is not to themselves alone; and that, although they have met with obstacles and had difficulties to surmount, they have been willing to make the sacrifice in order to make of themselves more useful citizens. And Bishop Isaiah Benjamin Scott, the only Negro missionary bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, notified the subcommittee on Effectiveness of Bishops of his intention to retire at the present session of the general conference. The news caused a stir when it became known. Bishop Scott, it was learned, had been in conference with the subcommittee for several days. Negro delegates to the conference upon hearing of Bishop Scott's intention held a caucus and decided to propose two candidates, also Negroes, as Bishop Scott's successor. They were Rev. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen of Atlanta, a professor at the Gammon Theological seminary, and Rev. Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate. The Negro delegates desired Bishop Scott's successor to be a bishop with full powers. The reason given by Bishop Scott for his request for retirement was that the health of one of his daughters will not permit her to live in Africa, where he has been stationed, and that the enforced separation from his wife and family, who live in Nashville, Tenn., makes it undesirable Extinction of the Petrovitch dynasty in Montenegro, no matter what the ultimate fate of that state may be, is predicted by political writers, who assert the Montenegrins are indignant over the surrender of King Nicholas to Austria. Annexation to Serbia, foreseen by many if the allies win, would be a reunion of two peoples very closely related in race. An electrically driven machine has been invented for splitting kindling wood. I wish to suggest that every employer prefers intelligent help. Intelligence grounded upon an honest integrity is a useful and valuable commodity wherever found, and will be recognized and rewarded. It pays to be intelligent; it pays to be honest. Intelligence of the right sort begets honesty because it helps one to see the folly of dishonesty and its inevitable consequences; and at the same time points out the advantages of a sound integrity. "Skilled labor is a thing being sought after in all work. People are realizing that efficiency means economy. And the laborer who increases his efficiency by increasing his skill through systematic study and training of his mind and hands is bound to secure employment over his less qualified brother." One thing that was sharply brought home to Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, famous Negro teacher, and principal of the Daytona school, was the lack of proper attention for the sick. "There were hospitals for whites, but none for Negroes," said Mrs. Bethune to an interviewer; "there were nurses for the white people but the Negroes could not afford them. The white physicians were kind, but felt that they could not intrude upon the feelings of white patients by taking care of our sick. The thing to do was to establish our own hospitals, train our own nurses and educate our own doctors. I knew that this meant money and the nickels and dimes that I could get from my own people would not be enough. The only thing for me to do was to beg of those whom God had prospered, that the less fortunate might be given a chance to live and grow better. I went to Thomas H. White and out of a generous heart he gave. Andrew Carnegie responded to a request for $1,000. Altogether we raised $5,000, and with this we built the only hospital for colored people in the district. White physicians co-operate with the Negro. Our nurses do district work and carry the laws of health and sanitation into the homes of our people. The hospital has come as a great oasis in a desert, teward which the people in their sickness and despair reach for health and tenderness." The old-time cornerstone laying is about to take its place among the relics and back-number customs, for in so many of the buildings of the more modern type the cornerstone has lost its significance. Its place is being taken by the driving of the silver rivet, as was done recently in the 26-story building being erected at Forty-second street and Madison avenue, in New York city. The rivet was driven with the ceremony that usually goes with the placing of the cornerstone, and on the completion of the structure it will be exposed in a silver box in the wall of the lobby. Nettles good human food? Of course. They have been known as such immemorially in thrifty Switzerland and other careful countries. There is no better rival to spinach in the whole vegetable kingdom. And the nettle ought to be utilized, it does so abound. It is the one weed, almost the only one, that grows in all countries under the sun, so say gardeners who fight it year by year and have never taken the right revenge of eating it. for him to retain his present office. Bishop Scott is sixty-two years old, and in normal circumstances would not be retired until the general conference nearest his seventy-third birthday. He was elected bishop for Africa in May, 1904, and his episcopal residence has been in Monrovia, Liberia. It is understood that he will be retired on a pension of $1,500 a year. American readers of British newspapers find some queer things in the advertising columns. "Wanted, strong, tidy general, well recommended," for instance, does not indicate a paucity of leaders in the British army. "General" as thus used is merely an abbreviated expression for "general servant" or "houseworker." Forty-eight materials are used in the construction of a piano, which come from no fewer than 16 countries. Screens which effectually keep fog from entering buildings by way of electric ventilating fans have been perfected in England. A boat supported by inflatable pontoons and driven by bicycle gearing has been invented that can be folded into a small parcel for carrying, as it weighs but 28 pounds. If you count the number of times the letter "a" is used in a book, you will find the average to be less than one in a thousand. Seventy per cent of the American people use electricity in some form every day. PROVIDE SURVEY FUNDS SUPREME COURT TO PASS ON CONSTITUTIONALITY Governor Carlson Asks Aid for Committee That Best Possible Results May Be Obtained. Denver—Arrangements have been made by which the survey of the state institutions provided for in an act of the last Legislature will be begun pending a decision on the constitutionality of the act by the State Supreme Court. Governor Carlson sent a letter to department heads of state institutions which, in part, was as follows: "In view of the benefits to be derived from such a constructive survey I desire to have the survey begun and carried forward under the direction of the Civic and Legislative Bureau of the Denver Civic and Commercial Association and under the direct supervision of Mr. R. E. Wright, secretary of the State Survey committee. The Civic and Legislative Bureau has contributed jointly with Messrs. P. B. Stewart and L. C. Phipps sufficient funds to finance the survey until the appropriation under the legislative act becomes available. "I hope you will aid the work in every way possible and give those in charge of the survey the benefit of your experience and knowledge of state government and of your department in particular. The survey is undertaken solely for constructive benefits and not in a spirit of unsympathetic criticism." Two-Year Inheritance Tax $900,000. An unusual number of deaths of wealthy residents of Denver and Colorado in the last few years has rolled up the receipts of the State Inheritance Tax Department to a figure never before reached since the inheritance tax went into effect in 1902. Figures compiled on June 1 by Leslie E. Hubbard, state inheritance tax appraiser, show that besides the $608,192.84 already collected during this biennial period in taxes on estates, additional revenue of $300,000 is in sight, so that the total for the period will run more than $900,000. When the Legislature met last year it was estimated that the income from the Inheritance Tax Department would be $300,000. Instead, it will amount to $900,000. Since 1913 Hubbard has collected $573,397.47 more than the estimated revenue from his department. Mining Employés to Get Bonus. Nectices have been sent to the State Industrial Commission from several mining and smelter companies of the state announcing that bonuses will be paid to the employés of the companies as long as the present prices for zinc, lead and silver continue. The Leadville smelters and the Mary Murphy Gold Mine Company are two of the concerns which have raised the pay of their men in this way. The men working for $3.50 per day and under will receive 25-cent increases, while those working for more than that amount will get 50-cent raises. If the St. Louis price of spelter falls below 10 cents or silver below 70 cents, the bonuses will be cut in half. Only the regular employés will profit by the bonus. Brewers Ask to Make Beer. The brewery interests of Denver have started an initiated petition for an amendment to the state prohibition law which will permit the breweries of the state to manufacture beer for sale direct to consumers in case lots. The argument is offered by the circulators of the petition that in this way the money, now being sent by residents of Colorado to outside points for beer, will be kept in the state, giving employment to many men. No attempt is made by the petitioners to legalize the sale of beer in retail quantities. Immigration Board Revived. A statewide campaign to secure new settlers and promote trade and social relations between the cities and the rural districts received an initial impetus when the state immigration board named James H. Jenkins of Pueblo secretary of the Board. For nine months the board has been dormant because of failure to agree upon a secretary. The last session of the Legislature appropriated $15,000 to carry on the work of the board and to start a State Chamber of Commerce. Apply for Compensation. Compensation for the death or Fred Doublecheck, an employe of the Black iron mine of Red Cliffe, who was killed while at work May 28, has been applied for by his relatives from the state compensation fund. Roads Sued for Coal Rates Rebate. Three railroads, the Colorado & Southern, Burlington and the Union Pacific, are defendants in actions begun in the District Court for the payment of $15,634.65 alleged excess charges for freight on coal shipped to Denver from northern Colorado. The coal company declares the railroads ignored rulings of the State Commission made in 1916 and that the Colorado & Southern wrongfully collected $11,313.88; the Burlington, $2,976.48 and the Union Pacific, $1,344.39. REPUBLICANS IN BIG CONVENTION NATIONAL GATHERING OPENED FORMALLY IN CHICAGO. CROWD FILLS COLISEUM Senator Harding of Ohio Is Elected Temporary Chairman and Delivers the Keynote Speech—Committees Are Named. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Chicago, June 7.—The Republican party opened its great quadrennial show—the national convention—today before a capacity house. Despite the fact that the proceedings of the first session were to be only preliminary formalities, the people flocked to the Coliseum by the thousand and poured through the many entrances in solid streams for hours. Whom Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the national committee, arose at 11 o'clock and took up the gavel to call the convention to order there was not one vacant seat in the immense structure. It was a fine setting for an important event. The Coliseum was decorated as never before, with flags and bunting draping the girders and galleries and covering all bare spots on the end walls. Up in a gallery at the south end of the hall a brass band was pouring forth patriotic and popular airs. Back of the speaker's rostrum, where sat Mr. Hilles and his working force of thirty-five men were grouped many members of the diplomatic corps who had come on from Washington, and the distinguished guests of the convention, among them all living ex-chairman of Republican national conventions. To the right and left of these were placed the members of the national committee and their guests. In the body of the hall, directly in front of the speaker's stand, were the 991 delegates gathered about their state standards, and back of them 991 alternates. Just below the rostrum and on both sides of it were the 425 working newspaper men, and in the galleries all around the hall were the thousands of spectators who had been fortunate to obtain admission tickets. Convention Begins Business. Mr. Hilles was heartily applauded when he stood before the throng, gavel in hand. He spoke but briefly in calling the great gathering to order, and called on Rev. John Timothy Stone, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian church of Chicago, to deliver the invocation. Dr. Stone's eloquent and impressive prayer was followed by the reading of the call for the convention by James B. Reynolds of Massachusetts, secretary of the national committee. Mr. Hilles then called for nominations for temporary chairman. Of course the selection of United States Senator Charles Warren Harding of Ohio for that position had been all settled long ago and his election by unanimous vote was only a formality. Senator Harding is an imposing figure, and as he accepted the gavel from the hands of Mr. Hilles he was enthusiastically cheered. Chairman Harding's Address. Chairman Harding launched at once into his "keynote" speech, and did not belie his reputation for eloquence and deftness of phrase. He began with a warm plea for harmony in the party ranks, coupled with the confident assertion that such harmony already was an assured fact. With unctuous sentences he skillfully oiled the way for the smooth return of those who left the party four years ago to follow the Bull Moose standard, and he declared to them and to the world that he did not believe there was a really reactionary Republican among the delegates. As might have been expected, Mr. Harding early in his address took up the subject of national defense. His utterances on this topic were reasonably emphatic and in line with the preparedness sentiment that has been spreading over the land. Our national unselfishness has been proved since the great war broke out, he said, and our national weakness in defense revealed. The foreign policy of the Democratic administration, both in relation to Europe and in the matter of Mexico, was dealt with in a few caustic sentences, and the plan to "turn lose" the Philippines also was scored. The speaker devoted some attention to the need, from a Republican point of view, for a protective tariff, and then turned to the topic of Americanism. Here he once more let his eloquence have full play, and his call for loyalty, devotion and love for the United States on the part of every one of its citizens was answered by a roar of cheers. "Verily, it is good to be an American. And we may rejoice to be Republicans," he concluded. When the band music that burst forth at the end of Senator Harding's speech was over and the assemblage quieted down again, the other temporary officers were nominated and elected, and the chairmen of the various state delegations were called on to send up the names of the men selected by the delegations to represent them on the committees The Curtis Park Floral Company FLORAL DESIGNS PUT UP WHILE YOU WAIT CHOICE PLANTS AND CUT FLOWERS CONSTANTLY ON HAND GREENHOUSES: Thirty-Fourth and Curtis Streets TELEPHONE, MAIN 1511 DENVER, COLO The Champa Pharmacy When You Want The Heads, Feet, Tails, Snouts, Neckbones or Chiterlings, or any other part of the hog except the squeal, go to East's Market The WARD AUCTION COMPANY Sales Daily at 2 p.m. Office Furniture a Specialty.

RECOGNIZED BY THE RETAIL ASSOCIATION OF THE DENVER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM OF THE FIRST CLASS. COLORADO BUSINESS OUTLOOK. With the expressions from the merchants and other business men, coupled with the latest reports from the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co., the Denver Gas and Electric Co., the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. and many other firms and corporations, relative to the improved condition of business and increased returns over preceding years, there seems to be convincing proof that Denver is being restored to her former position of prosperity. The evidences and indications are so conspicuous that even the smaller business men are expressing themselves freely on their intended action for the summer season, and their entertainment of new hopes and fresh thoughts for the most successful period in their experience in the City and County of Denver and the State of Colorado. The hotel keepers begin to wear the broad smiles and laughing features as the convention season opens with the Railroad men, who have a thirty-day convention in the city Auditorium; also the Auxiliary, consisting of their feminine relatives. The butchers and grocers restocking their stalls and shelves with the best cornfed meats from Colorado farms and delicacies from the best manufactories in the country begin to feel the touch of the magic wand in the extraordinary purchases that are being made; the drug stores with their latest supply of fresh drugs, toilet articles, etc., are lending an unusual fascination to the patrons of that order; the great phalanx of dry goods stores in their offering of the newest and latest creations and designs in men's and women's apparel, giving additional grace and beauty to the wearers, at very moderate prices; the wonderful display of household goods, comprising furniture of every description as seen by the people in its attractiveness—all these specially emphasize the fact of the return of the good old times, an indorsement of which can be given by the printer who is contemplating increasing his staff to meet the demand for various forms of advertisement. In conjunction with this sudden stride, the city authorities being mindful of the part they must play in opening the avenues of employment to THE MANY INSTEAD OF THE FEW, have started reconstruction and permanent public works so as to offer that particular distribution which will enable the average worker to procure not only the necessaries of life, but also that which helps to make good living. Looking forward, therefore to a Denver that will afford all-round comfort for its citizens, with the absence of mental worry, heartache and all the ills that would give rise to discontent and dissatisfaction, we feel proud to join with those who have resolved on a greater city, a greater business center and a greater citizenry that will establish a precedence second to none and maintain a prestige for present and future attractions. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION The conflicting reports from Chicago relative to the probable nominee for the Republican party, and as none has received the nomination up to the time we went to press, we regret our inability to give the desired information which is being sought by our subscribers and the public in general with much anxiety. At the beginning of the convention on Wednesday, the 7th, inst., the Roosevelt boom lent a favorable aspect as to the anticipate unity of the Republican and Progressive parties, and for a time "the hatchet's funeral dirge" seemed likely to be played; but as the sessions proceeded certain phases presented themselves among the Hughes supporters and a recurrence of convention result of 1912 is imminent. Senator Warren G. Harding, elected permanent chairman on Thursday, was loudly cheered when he took up his position. After the opening of the session with prayer, report of the credentials committee was read by Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, recommending the seating of 987 delegates. The Progressives in their determination that Roosevelt shall be the logical candidate for nomination, have decided to nominate him, irrespective of what was done by Republican party leaders, and declared for Roosevelt, and Governor Johnson of California—the same to be presented by Senator A. B. Fall of New Mexico when nomination speeches are in order. This complication which should never have been, according to agreements reached before the convention between the Grand Old Party and the Progressives, will have an effect that will place a third ticket in the field, and if that comes about, there is every likelihood of the Democratic party gaining their objective through the unfortunate actions of this Republican disunion. As we have stated in preceding issues disruption of the Republican party at this time will be valueless to it and may terminate in another four years of Democratic blunders, and to save or deliver us from being victimized, the leaders should work their all and their best for a coalition action resulting in one candidate, suitable to both parties with whom can be entrusted the reins of government by our thorough support next November. If Roosevelt gets the nomination we will give him our true and staunch support and urge the same through the columns of The Colorado Statesman. If Hughes or any one else, then throw all our forces to secure their election in preference of a Democrat administration. There is hardly a supporter of Republican politics who has not felt keenly the sharp edge of the blade of the present administration, and when it comes to OUR side it is practically known how we are ABUSED on the one hand, they USED on the other for what is termed "our country's cause." Too black too humble, too poor for a representative position, whether in city, state or nation, but fully qualified to be the advance guard in defending the country's honor, rights and purposes, we cannot afford to divide or have any opposition to the choice of the convention. If our Teddy of world-wide fame is the successful nominee, let us support him loyally and strengthen his arms for the final campaign insuring victory; if any other American, let us offer the same unswerving devotion to his cause in obedience to the law of SELF PRESERVATION, which means national success. --- Sending of Untrained Boys Forth to Slaughter a Crime PETER H. BURTON By SENATOR GEORGE E. CHAMBERLAIN of Oregon The battles of the Civil war were fought by boys. It will be the boys who will fight the battles of the future. When you talk of cruelty, I ask you which is the more cruel—to send these boys out unprepared to slaughter, or to send them out prepared to take care of themselves? Which would you rather have happen to your boy? Would you rather have him sent out untrained, half equipped, ignorant of the art of war, without knowledge of the rules necessary to preserve his health in the field, to become the ready food of cannon, a ready sacrifice to bullets and bayonets, the easy prey of disease and pestilence, or would you rather send him forth capable of meeting his foe on equal terms, more skilled than his antagonist, strong and self-reliant, confident? Would you rather have him brought home on a stretcher or welcome him bearing the laurels of victory? The cruelty is in sending a boy out to slaughter, not in training him to take care of himself. Nature's Gifts Must Be Studied in Picking Life's Work By WELLS ANDREWS, M. D., of Chicago Nature, with few exceptions, has done something for each one of us, and we find that those who succeed best in their labors have a natural faculty for them. Ought we not, then, to find out, if possible, for what we are fitted; to find our place, and then fill it? Parents seldom try to find that for which their children are adapted and then advise them. They say: "Follow this or that business. Choose this or that profession; you can make money at it and live without hard labor." Many examples might be mentioned, wherein men have commenced the study of law or medicine or theology and after finding that they had made a serious mistake exchanged for something in keeping with their talents. Young men should not decide such an important point in their lives without earnest, thoughtful deliberation; they should ask themselves this question: "Have I a taste for such work and the necessary qualifications?" Crippling of Prison Industries Would Increase Crime By F. EMORY LYON, Superintendent of Central Howard Association Increased idleness and insanity in all the prisons of the country, followed by an increase in crime, would inevitably result from the placing of an embargo on interstate shipment and sale of prison-made goods, as contemplated by proposed federal legislation. Aside from the general welfare of the prisoners themselves, such restrictions would particularly affect states that have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for the establishment of state prison industries, as they would be obliged to throw the new machinery on the junk heap. Many of the states have established plants for the manufacture of binder twine; others are planning to do the same. This has furnished wholesome industries for the men, has proved profitable for the states, and has resulted in a marked curb upon the high price of twine to the farmers. The same has been true in the case of other industries, none of which could be carried on longer if interstate shipment of the products should be prohibited. Taxing Site Values Only Would Solve Revenue Problems By PROF. LEWIS JEROME JOHNSON of Harvard University What the correct solution of the revenue problem is will appear at once if we open our eyes to the fact that the only form of property whose value is enhanced by public expenditures is land. Better streets, improved harbors, up-to-date schools do not increase the value of a Union Pacific bond, a farmer's barn, a banker's lawn improvements, a workman's cottage or a manufacturer's machinery one farthing. They do increase the value of site in the favored districts and nothing else. Consequently to tax anything but the value of land after deducting the value of all improvements should, in my judgment, be regarded as nothing but robbery under the form of law—a flat violation of the right of an individual, be he rich or poor, to the undisturbed possession of his earnings. Preparedness Is Needed Because Country Hates War Not because I want war but because I hate war, do I believe that this country should be prepared to defend itself. In a world in which right must still be backed by might it is the duty of the descendants of the Minute Men of Lexington and Concord, in their spirit, to defend the heritage which they have passed on to us. For it should be remembered that the experiment in the application of the principle that all men are created equal, which was begun in this country by the Revolution, still remains an experiment, and all the nations of the world are looking to us to prove that the principle is a true one, and that we are able to preserve it. --- 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.

Burell Blackwell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emmet Blackwell of 2942 California street, is making rapid progress from an attack of fever. He is in the capable hands of Dr. De Frantz. Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Primmer arrived in the city last Thursday from Delta, Colo., en route to Humansville, Mo. They report conditions very favorable on the Western slope, especially with the tungsten industry. Mr. and Mrs. Speights of Dearfield, Colo., will start supplying the Denver markets with chickens, having a large increase to the brood sometime ago. By perseverance these former residents of Denver are beginning to see the fruits of their labor. William Maury who is in charge of his brother-in-law's ranch at Dearfield, Colo., spent a few days in the city returning Tuesday morning last. He reports progress of things in general in the Colony and speaks very commendably of the long-felt want supplied by the Houston Grocery Store. Father J. C. Van Loo, rector of Epiphamy Episcopal Church of Colorado Springs, Colo., spent a few days with the family of Mr. and Mrs. George Gross, of Ogden street. The rector is doing good work at the Springs and hopes to make his parish take a high place in the diocese if given the necessary support of his parishoners and sympathizers. Sir William Slade, Knight Commander and pioneer of the Order of Colored Telephone Operators, has been initiated into the grand army of Denver Benedicts by joining hand and heart with Mrs. Crockel of Colorado Springs in conjugal bliss. The Colorado Statesman being well acquainted with this gentleman wishes for himself and better half a smooth sailing and perpetual happiness on the matrimonial sea of life. George W. Brooks who worked for a number of years as clerk in the quartermaster's department of the United States Army and who is very popular in Denver, passed a very creditable examination both physically and educationally when he received a grading of 100 per cent from Dr. William Newhall, medical examiner of the city and 83 per cent total rating for the mental test as an applicant for regular fireman in Denver's Fire Department. He made 100 per cent in Spelling, Arithmetic and memory test, which successful result goes to prove the great possibilities in members of the Negro race and their achievements if the door of opportunity and recognition is opened to them. All members of the COLORED CITIZENS' LEAGUE are requested to attend meeting on Wednesday, June 14, 8 p.m. for the transaction of important business by order of president. JOSEPH D. D. RIVERS. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. The refreshment table at the Track Meet on Decoration Day, proved that it was well patronized for the chairman, Mrs. King, turned in $27.69 into to the Y. W. C. A. treasury. This success reflects much credit to Mrs. King and her co-workers. Our Association is steadily growing. We have received twelve members during the month of May. The meetings of the Association have been changed from every Monday evening at 8 p. m. to the first and third Mondays of each month. On the first Monday we will have our regular business meeting and on the third some form of out-door entertainment will take place. The Bible class has discontinued during the summer months. Sunday—Program, 4-5; Tea, 5-6. The Association rooms are open from 4 to 6 p. m. on Sunday afternoons. From 4 until 5 p. m. a program will be rendered and from 5 until 6, tea will be served. Our rooms are at 318 East Twenty-fifth street. Mrs. King will be hostess this Sunday. Next Monday evening the Y. W. C. A. will have an out-door picnic on Mrs. C. M. White's lawn at 2420 Emerson street. All are welcome. ZION CHURCH NOTES. Sunday was our Annual Offering Day. The result was most gratifying. At this writing offerings are still coming in. On next Sunday evening the final reports will be made. It is the hope that everyone who failed to respond will be numbered among the faithful by that time. The pastor spent the week past in Southern Colorado looking after the interests of the Association which meets with Central church on the evening of the 20th. Conditions on the field indicate a splendid meeting. The total income from the fair held at the close of last month was $200. The ladies are to be commended for the enterprise and energy manifested. Sunday is Children's Day which will appropriately be observed by the Sunday school. All the parents should endeavor to be present. Ours is a growing school and is organized up to the last minute. We give our children the best. The Annual Sunday School Picnic is set for Dome Rock on the third Thursday in July. It is well known that this is the outing event of the season. All those who are informed and desire a real picnic wait for Zion. About the close of the month the Juvenile Chorus will give a recital in the auditorium of the church. The presentation of these young people will take this community by surprise. Prof. Whiteman of the city schools has discovered some voices of the highest merit. Full announcements later. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. As this is the last week of school plans are being devised for their entertainment and direction during the vacation months. It is expected that frequent hikes will be taken, affording a chance for service on the part of some one who is well acquainted with different sites surrounding Denver. At the meeting last Sunday afternoon, Rev. R. L. Pope was present and gave a very interesting account of his trip to the East and of the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church which met in Philadelphia and to which he was a delegate. The men greatly enjoyed his talk. The croquet court was opened last Friday afternoon, and has been in constant use every afternoon since. A second court will be ready in a few days. In a hotly contested game last Saturday afternoon, Secretary Bell and R. F. Sims won over Geo. C. King and the Rev. G. Sterling Sawyer and Lionel B. West. Games for next Saturday afternoon are scheduled to be played between Messrs. Ross, Lightner, Sawyer, King, Davis, Sims and others. The contests will undoubtedly be exciting, for all are expert players. Next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock the boys' meeting will be held as usual. The men's meeting will be held at 4 o'clock. The Rev. B. B. Tyer, chaplain of the Olinger Mortuary, will be the speaker. All will be cordially welcome. SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES.. Rev. Robert L. Pope, B. D., Pastor. Our pastor's sermon topics will be: 11 a. m., "The Greatest Evil of Our Times," and at 8 p. m., "Some Things a Parent Ought to Know." A splendid audience turned out to welcome back home our pastor and his wife, and at the evening hour an equally large number was out to enjoy the General Conference echo meeting. The speakers vied with each other in holding the audience spellbound while they recited at length the story of the doings of the Conference and portrayed graphic scenes about historic Philadelphia, the city of Brotherly Love. Our sick list this week includes Brother U. G. Brown, 2637 Marion street, Sisters Anna Hicks, 548 Columbine and Minnie Levert, 1015 24th street, and little Gracie Morris, 1847 Clarkson. We are glad to report all of the list in a convalescing condition. The annual Bazaar of our Sewing Circle will be held Monday and Tuesday evenings, July 3rd and 4th. It is going to be bigger and better; arrange your schedules so as to include it. The echo meeting for delegates to the State Sunday School Convention at Boulder, was held Tuesday evening in our lecture room with a splendid representation from both Campbell and Shorter. A most delightful repast was served and after which, superintendents King and Brown and Miss Madie G. Nelson gave splendid account of themselves, the latter coming in for special mention. Mrs. Pope gave an account of her recent visit to the John Wanamaker Sunday school. Tomorrow will be quarterly meeting day at Campbell Chapel and our entire congregation is expected to attend the communion service at 3 p. m. Our pastor will preach the sermon. CHICAGO CONCERN COMPOSED OF COLORED PERSONS The Griffin Music House is a new concern in Chicago, occupying quarters at 36:38 South State street.

Danish West Indies IF THE United States and Denmark strike a bargain and the three islands which comprise the Danish West Indies are transferred to the former, the sale will mark the culmination of a bit of bartering which began nearly fifty years ago, when the American government offered $7,750,000 for the 138 square miles of territory in the Antilles, a sum exceeding by $300,000 the price paid to Russia in the same year (1887) for the vast, rich territory of Alaska, comprising an area more than four thousand times as large. The sale was not consummated because the United States senate failed to ratify the treaty, says a bulletin of the National Geographic society. Fourteen years ago negotiations were renewed and a price of $5,000,000 was agreed upon, but this time the Danish parliament refused to sanction the sale, although the islands had been governed at a loss to the mother country for many years, in fact ever since slavery was abolished in 1848, thereby putting an end to the profitable operation of the sugar plantations. These three islands of the Virgin group—St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John, in the order of their size and population—were discovered by Columbus in 1453. Spanish, British, French, Dutch and Danish flags have floated over one or all of the islands at various times. St. Croix, lying 65 miles southeast of Porto Rico, has an area of 84 square miles, and is the most prosperous of the group, with its two towns of Christianstad and Frederikstad. It was held at one time by the Knights of Malta, having been given to that famous order by Louis XIV of France. St. Thomas Has Fine Herbor. St. Thomas, which lies only 40 miles east of Porto Rico, was at one time the chief distributing center of West Indian trade, its importance being directly attributable to the fact that the mother country, Denmark, maintained its neutrality during the numerous Eu- Charlct EUPHRATES A MIGHTY RIVER Flows Through the Cradle of Civilization Where Empires Have Risen and Fallen. The Euphrates is the largest river in western Asia and civilization is reputed to have come into being upon its banks. For six thousand years at least empires have risen and fallen on its plain, conquering armies have marched to battle and a hundred cities have come up out of the earth and fallen into obliterate ruin again. Describing this great river as it runs its seaward course today, the National Geographic society, whose headquarters are in Washington, says in a statement given to the press: "The Euphrates lays a strong claim to the honor of being the most historic river on earth and certain it is that in the region it drains, along with its twin sister, the Tigris, man first emerged from behind that impenetrable curtain which divides the known from the unknown past. "From then henceforth civilizations have raised their proud heads above come and gone, cities of rare beauty have risen their proud heads above the plain only to pass on into obliterate ruin. "The Euphrates rises in two arms, flowing parallel to one another on the north side of Taurus mountain, through narrow valleys into which pour innumerable small streams from the high Armenian plateau. The --- ```markdown ``` ropean wars of the eighteenth century. The temporary occupation of the island by the British during several periods of the Napoleonic wars added further to the importance of the chief port, Charlotte Amalie, where merchant vessels rode at anchor in the magnificent land-locked harbor while waiting for convoys to protect them on the voyage across the Atlantic. This town of Charlotte Amalie, with a population of less than ten thousand, mainly negroes, is still an important coaling station for steamers in the West Indian trade. With a depth of from 27 to 36 feet of water, the roadstead can accommodate the largest merchant ships which sail these seas. The export and import trade has become negligible since the rapid decline of the sugar industry which the Danish government has tried in vain to revive by granting annual subsidies. St. John, least important of the islands, lying four miles to the east of St. Thomas, has an area of twenty-one square miles. It is scarcely more than a ten-mile mountain ridge with but one distinguishing feature, Coral bay, the best harbor of refuge in the Antilles. Cruxbay, a village of 1,000 inhabitants on the northern shore, is the center of population. While Danish is the official language of the islands, English is quite generally spoken. The monotony of existence is not infrequently broken by earthquakes and hurricanes. If Denmark decides to part with these islands there will remain to her only two colonial possessions—Greenland and Iceland, which have an aggregate area more than five times as large as the mother country, but with only one twenty-seventh the population. The 138 square miles of Denmark's West Indian territory sustain nearly three times as many people as the 46,740 square miles of Greenland. e Amalie. CHARLITTE AMALIE. RIVER Civiliza- Risen river in is re- gion pears at on has have red cities north and n.. it runs national roadway. northernmost of the two branches is the shortest, but it is generally re- garded as the real source of the river. It lies to the north of Erzerum, while the longer branch passes it to the south. The two branches are divided by the wild mountain district of Der- sm. After uniting they form the Euphrates proper, which boldly breaks its way through the mountains by a zigzag course that carries it now to the right and now to the left. Now it flows for 30 miles at right angles to its general course, then 60 miles parallel to it and then 180 miles at right angles again, as though it were headed for the Mediterranean sea. Then it winds to the south for 80 miles. "Here it takes up its general trend to the southeast and with innumerable sharp windings and bends, but with only a few broad curves it heats its way to the sea. The air line distance of the remotest spring of the Euphrates from the sea is only 800 miles and yet its waters must travel 1,800 miles before they reach the sea. In the last 1,200 miles of its course the Euphrates is slow and sluggish, wandering all over the land when it has opportunity, making that which it touches a marsh and that which it cannot reach a desert. "Its fall during the last 1,200 miles is only ten inches to the mile and it broadens out so much that while it contains enough water to float the greatest battleship, it is so shallow that at places a swimmer cannot float in it." --- St. John Is the Smallest. WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS Uncle Sam Wants Foreign Trade Investigators WASHINGTON.—Young Americans afflicted with wanderlust, who have a speaking acquaintance with Spanish, German or French, will be given an opportunity to travel at good pay if they can satisfy the bureau of foreign and to be investigated. The difficulty the bureau has experienced in getting suitable men for its foreign investigations illustrates the lack of trained men for foreign commercial work, which has so often been called to the attention of Americans in the last year. There are plenty of men capable of sizing up market conditions in any part of their own country, but there is a different story to tell when a man is wanted to study the prospects of selling goods in foreign countries. For South America, for example, the bureau wants men who can speak Spanish; who understand their particular line well enough to learn the essential facts so necessary to American exporters, and who, when in possession of these facts, can write them up in clear-cut, logical, convincing fashion. Such men are scarce. For investigations in the far East a foreign language is not essential, although extra credit is given in the examination for a knowledge of French, German or Spanish. Playing for High Stakes in the Court of Claims THERE is a government firing line where firing is almost constantly going on. No blood is split, but interest is intense always, for it is shooting for money—big money. Long shots predominate. It is in a queer place for a rule the stakes are high. Competitors are numerous because, if a hit is made, the pay is sure. At the present writing some $90,000,000 (in fresh crinkly notes of Uncle Sam worth 100 per cent of each 100 cents) are involved. That is, cases are now pending in the court of claims calling for $98,730,115.70. A judgment by the court of claims, unless reversed by the United States Supreme court, is as good as cash. It follows that the prize of prizes in legal circles today is some sort of a fairly well substantiated claim against the United States government. Innumerable such claims are discovered and made. The cases now pending number more than 10,000. Needless to say if all or any considerable part of this $98,000,000 is paid it will come out of the United States treasury—i.e., out of the pockets of the people of the United States. Therefore, on this firing line the people have their representatives, the same consisting of an enormous staff of attorneys retained upon salaries by Uncle Sam. Nominally their chief is the attorney general, but the attorney general in person is engrossed with greater matters—the construction and enforcement of the greater laws, particularly the antitrust laws. He has very little time to devote to "routine." The gentleman in actual charge, therefore, is the "assistant attorney general in charge of the defense of suits against the United States." Under the present administration this gentleman is Huston Thompson of Denver, former classmate at Princeton of President Wilson. Mr. Thompson holds one of the many big submerged jobs in the government service. Insists United States Pay Him Thirty Cents SOME years ago the crew of a government revenue cutter gave an entertainment, and, according to custom, assessed the cost of the affair among those aboard. Each man's share was taken from his pay. One young man was not one numbered seven hundred and something. Two or three years ago he resigned from the revenue cutter service and is now living in New York, but he is still after his 30 cents and the establishment of a great principle. When Charles Dewey Hilles was an assistant secretary of the treasury he sent the man his personal check for 30 cents in the hope that it would end the long correspondence, but it did not. The man promptly sent back the check, saying that he did not want the money, but justice, and that the 30 cents must come from the government itself. And so the correspondence goes on with no sign of ever letting up. Where the Government Takes Tremendous Chances A FIRE occurred recently in one of the detached buildings of the bureau of engraving and printing, which, fortunately, was confined to its place of origin and to a comparatively small damage. The building is used in part as ceed without the cloths, for the treatment of which this department is maintained. The engraving bureau is well equipped in the new main building, but it is compelled to use some of the old parts, and in this respect the situation is much like that of every other branch of the government. There is scarcely a department that has not some part of its organization housed in a filmsy, fire-inviting structure. The government never insures and indeed it would have to pay some rather high rates if it did seek insurance on the ordinary commercial basis. Many of the "risks" of the public service equipment are decidedly bad, and considering the values dependent upon the conditions in which the departmental work is done the United States is taking alarm chances of disaster in its regular routine. ? SOY DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS AH' I'M INVESTIGATIN' NEGOCIO HAVE YOU ANY U.S. INVESTIGATOR 9 to be investigated. The difficulty the able man for its foreign investigations foreign commercial work, which has s Americans in the last year. There are market conditions in any part of their story to tell when a man is wanted to foreign countries.

No blood is split, but interest money—big money. Long shots pred firing line—in a former art gallery. In other words, the old abode of the Corcoran gallery, Seventeenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, now houses the United States court of claims; and there nearly every day of the court's sessions eminent counsel endeavor to score a bull's-eye and thereby win for themselves and their clients coin of the nation in sums all the way from a few thousands to many millions of dollars. It is a mighty absorbing and always alluring game because, as a rule, the stake is high. the stakes are high. Competitors to the pay is sure.

Though of brick walls it is far from being fireproof, and the fire department was fortunate in confining the flames. Only the detached situation of the structure enabled it to check the blaze. The fire did immediate damage of about $20,000. The actual loss to the government, however, was heavier by the delay of the work in printing money and stamps, which cannot pro- ceed without the cloths, for the treatment tained. The engraving bureau is well e it is compelled to use some of the old is much like that of every other branch.

DAY OR NIGHT Copyright Underwood & Underwood J Feminine daintiness and love for beautiful color may be indulged without restraint within the walls of the boouoir. There is no excuse for any sort of ugliness there. Lingerie grows more and more airy and dainty, and in negligees the prettiest fancies of designs are interpreted in any extreme of style. Satin and chiffon, thin crepe and fine laces, are the alluring mediums with which the artist works out her dreams. Ribbons and little made flowers add touches that betray her delight in the work she undertakes. Color is such an important factor in apparel for the boudoir that the less expensive sheer fabrics, in the same colors as silk stuffs, are used with as good results. Volles, mull, lawn and thin mercerized cottons are made up with laces and trimmed with ribbons so make negligees that are as captivatingly colorful and dainty as any others. But they cost a fraction of the price of sheer silk materials. Recently Launche It makes one long for midsummer, for the glory of June weddings, or even for graduation days, to view the new thin white dresses which have recently been launched upon the sea of summer fashions. They are a froth of trills and flouances and look as cool and unsubstantial as white clouds in the spring sky. These models of the utterly feminine in summer clothes are repeated in pale tints that are mere reflections of pink or green or blue. Occasionally illusive figures appear on them, usually in the form of lace applique in motifs that are applied to an under petticoat or to the underside of the skirt. Organdie and other sheer crisp materials are better adapted to dresses of this kind than softer fabrics. Lawns and voiles are used for them, and it almost goes without saying that the flounces and frills are made very full always but fullest in the softer goods. A frock of white organdie is shown in the illustration given here. It reveals the cleverest sort of management of style and material, each helping out the other. The skirt and bodice are in one, set together with a plain belt of A negligee worn over a combination with pantalettes, is shown in the picture. The pantalettes are substituted for petticoats and worn under dance frocks or under negligees. They are of satin, joined to an under bodice of satin and lace. Wide val lace is cascaded down the sides in ruffles that widen toward the bottom. Just above the ankle the fullness is gathered on an elastic cord, forming a narrow frill. This combination is supported by ribbons tied at the shoulders. Chiffon and Uruguay lace make the lovely empire coat worn over this combination. It is banded with ribbon in three widths, the widest forming a border about the bottom. Wide lace flouncing is draped in the effect of a mantle, falling over the sleeves and covering the upper half of the coat. It fastens at the waist line under two little bouquets of chiffon flowers made of tiny roses and ribbon foliage. d Summer Styles white moire. There is a panel down the front made of a series of frills graduated in width. They are plaited in the narrowest of plains and extend from the square neck to the bottom of the skirt. Two wide and very full flouces cover the remainder of the skirt. The hem of these flouces is trimmed into scallops and hemstitched at the edges. The elbow sleeves are covered with four plaited frills and widen at the elbow. There is a quaint little cape about the shoulders, edged with a frill, and it falls over the shoulders to the topmost frill on the sleeves. The bodice is plain and is hemmed at the sides in a scalloped hem that falls over the panel at the front. It fastens at the side with invisible fastening of small flat buttons and loops.
