THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO AND NEW MEXICO 100,000 Negroes Ready To Fight VOL. XX11. 100,000 Ready The following Associated Press dispatch was published throughout the country last week: Tuskegee, Alabama, June 22—When informed by an Associated Press representative today of the killing of twelve Negro soldiers, Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, called attention to the fact that eighteen years ago when war was declared with Spain that the late Booker T. Washington, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, called upon the Negro people of the United States, and particularly upon Tuskegee graduates and former students, to volunteer for service in defense of their country. Hundreds of Negroes followed this advice. Secretary Scott states that there are a dozen or more Tuskegee graduates and former students in Mexico now as members of the various colored regiments. "Negroes," he states, "will rally to the defense of their country now as they have always done. As the first American soldier to lose his life in Mexico, March 24 of this year, was a Negro, so the first man killed in the Revolutionary War was a Negro. The Negro people take pride in the fact that it was the charge of Negro troops at San Juan Hill in the Spanish American war that turned the tide there, and that Negroes have fought bravely in every war in which this country has engaged. The Negro was with Jackson at New Orleans, with Perry on Lake Erie, and 180,000 Negro soldiers served in the Civil War. "The Negroes of this country," he states, "will be no less patriotic at this time than in former periods of stress and storm. The Negro possesses patriotism that rises above injustices and wrongs. He is American through and through. The President will find no hyphenates among us. The Negro has never faltered in defense of his country; he will not falter now. If President Wilson desires to employ sturdy Negroes to defend the flag, he can be assured that a hundred thousand and more are at his disposal." THOSE DUSKY HEROES Fifty-three years ago, while the United States was locked in fratricidal strife. Abraham Lincoln struck the chains of slavery from the Negroes. Last week, while the reunited nation once again faced a tremendous crisis, descendants of those black men and women gloriously paid their debt of gratitude to the country which was borne out of that conflict caused by slavery. Tricked through treachery, surrounded by a hidden enemy which had ambushed them, with machine gun fire sweeping their ranks and their retreat cut off by the stampede of their horses, nearly two troops of Negro cavalry valiantly gave their lives for their nation. Undaunted in the face of all these odds, man after man died fighting. A comparatively few survivors lived to tell the story of their bravery. Because of the story of those survivors, the United States mourns today for these black soldiers—black of skin, but white, pure white, in their loyalty, patriotism, love of country and bravery. War may or may not come, but this nation will assuredly remember with respect and honor those dusky-skinned heroes of Carrizal.—The Denver Express. A TEST OF THE CASE In the spirit of him who founded and fostered it we appeal to every member and official of the National Business League to rally to the cause. The League has traversed almost the length and breadth of this land, not only in its national meetings, but in the spirit that it has shed broadcast, infusing commercial hope and courage in the race. The work of the League has not been done, it has only begun. Its leader is gone, but the League must live on to accomplish its mission, to give continued cheer and comfort, to give continued strength, system and inspiration in the race's onward march. The National Negro Business League was one of the master efforts of Booker T. Washington to that end. It will be a grave reflection upon the race if the strong men whom he gathered about him in the League do not through their unselfish love for the race carry that work on in ever greater strength and ever widening influence. It is the acid test of the black race in the eyes of the white race. The world is looking upon you, gentlemen of the Business League, to see what you will do. We appeal to you to bend every effort individually and collectively to make the coming session at Kansas City the banner session of its career. We appeal to you to give its great and faithful secretary, Emmett J. Scott, your sincerest and strongest co-operation to this end. The New York Press on the morning after Dr. Washington's death said: DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, JULY 1. 1916 State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ADC THE JOURNAL G, MONTAN DENVER, COLORADO S "The work of Booker Washington's lifetime having been discussed and lauded everywhere in the country since his death, a natural speculation arises whether with his tremendous personal energy and achievements removed the progress of his work may be halted. "Any one who has studied the history of the colored people for the past fifty years will realize that the race has in store for it a development that cannot be retarded by the death of one leader, no matter how great his influence." We ask the members of the Business League to see to it that the "progress of his work may not be halted." In the spirit of him who led it, we ask every one of them banded together to see to it that the commercial and industrial progress of the race is not stayed.—Editorial, New York News. PREJUDICE IN THE NATIONAL GUARD. The case of Charles M. Steinert, a Jew of this city, who states that he was barred from membership in the National Guard because of his race, gives us to know that we are not the only race so discriminated against. It will not be interesting to watch how the Jews will fight this matter. Already a lawyer has been put on the job, and you may rest assured that enough money and influence will be put behind him to carry the issue through successfully. When it becomes generally known among the Jews of this city that they are barred from the New York National Guard, we pity the fate of the men who are responsible for the discrimination. The tremendous Jewish financial power will be brought against them then and they will either surrender or be crushed. Here is the great difference between the Jew and the Negro; when we are wronged we have to go and beg and plead for a little justice; the Jew demands, his money enables him to do it. The wise thing for the Negro to do is to form as close an alliance with the Jew as is possible, so that the latter in fighting for his own rights will, in some degree, fight for our also. This was the case in the splendid civil rights bill which was passed in this state.—New York Age. TAFT WOULD "MAKE UP" WITH COLONEL FOR HUGHES. New York, June 28.—Former President Taft at Garden City this afternoon said he was willing to work side by side with Colonel Roosevelt to aid in the election of Justice Hughes. Though he would not comment upon rumors that efforts were being made to bring himself and Colonel Roosevelt together he indicated his willingness to "bury the hatchet." Mr. Taft said that he was very glad to hear that Roosevelt had decided to support Hughes. "It is a fine thing and will be a great help to Mr. Hughes," he said. He was asked if he would be willing to speak from the same platform with Colonel Roosevelt. "I am for Hughes," he replied. "I would not let my personal feelings interfere. If such speaking arrangements should be made I would act as a private in the ranks and obey orders." CHAPLAIN O. J. W. SCOTT LEAVES TWENTY-FIFTH INFANTRY. Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, T. H. —Chaplain Oscar J. W. Scott, 25 infantry, has completed his tour of duty with the regiment, on foreign service, and has been ordered back to the United States for assignment to one of the colored regiments stationed on the Mexican border. Chaplain Scott is popular with both the commissioned and the enlisted personnel of the regiment, and they sincerely regret so see him leave. The chaplain has taken a vital interest in clean athletic sports and was always one of the best rooters at the important baseball games; he has been the inspiration of many a young man's determination to improve his mental faculties while a soldier in the army, and he has conducted with marked success a post school for the enlisted men of the regiment; he has built up a splendid regimental library, having solicited books in various parts of the country for this purpose; a strong literary society which bears his name, is one of the products of his labors. The Sunday night and mid-week meetings conducted by Chaplain Scott were largely attended, and it must be borne in mind that enlisted men are not compelled to attend church in the army. One of the institutions which Chaplain Scott will leave behind him, and for which the children of the regiment will always be especially grateful to him, is the annual Christmas tree for all the regiment. Chaplain Oscar J. W. Scott has been an officer of the army since April, 1907, when he was appointed a chaplain and first lieutenant of the 25th infantry. He was promoted to his captaincy in April, 1914. He was born at Gallipolis, Ohio, July 31, 1867. Entered Ohio Wesleyan University, from which he graduated with highest honors in oratory and the degrees A.B. and A.M. To these Drew Seminary added that of B.D., the University of Denver contributed B.O. and S.T.B., and Payne Theological Seminary that of D.D. He pastored some of the largest churches of his denomination, including the Metropolitan church of Washington, D. C. Mrs. Nettie Poindexter Scott, wife of the chaplain, is an accomplished musician. She was formerly an instructor of music at the Ohio Institution for the blind. Mrs. Scott was born at Columbus, Ohio, and is a RACE NEWS Baltimore, Md.—The tenth biennial meeting of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs will assemble in this city August 6 to 10. The meetings will be presided over by Mrs. Booker T. Washington, president, and many notable club women of the country will be present. The program provides for an interesting symposium on woman suffrage and representatives from the various national race organizations for uplift will be heard. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, vice president at large will tell of her trip across the continent, when she spoke to the women of eleven states. Savannah, Ga.—The will of Isaac B. Butler, who died recently, disposed of an estate consisting of $12,000 in cash and realty worth $32,000. The property was devised to his four children and two grandchildren, save for a small legacy to Abraham Barnard, a friend. The children are John H. Butler, Mrs. Valeria Ashford, James F. Butler and Joseph C. Butler, and the grandsons are Robert and Adam Herb. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Miss Eleanor Columbia Pulpress, 45 Tacoma avenue, has been appointed as kindergarten teacher in the Grand school. She is the first colored teacher appointed to a position in the Pittsburgh schools, and the appointment was only made after a fight was conducted over the refusal of her application by the public school administration. Congressman Stephen G. Porter is given credit for working in behalf of the appointment. Prince Kindal of Dahomey, West Africa, is a graduate of Glasgow University and covets like educational privilege for his oldest son. In order to earn the money whereby he can provide for his heir as an African princeling should be provided for, he is lecturing in America. The prince comments caustically on American granddaughter of the great old Dr. Poindexter, known throughout Ohio as a leader in religious thought during his long and useful life. Chaplain and Mrs. Scott have been blessed with three children, Albert and James and Miss Ruth. Albert is a student in the high school, Columbus, Ohio. The enlisted men and their wives of the 25th infantry tendered a reception to Chaplain and Mrs. Scott. Mrs. Maggie D. McInham Reynolds presented to Mrs. Scott a beautiful tiara necklace, set with large rare jades, which was a present from the men of the regiment. NO 46 morals. "Civilization is not high in my country," says he, "but morality is 90 per cent higher than here. It is true I have six wives, but each of them is my lawful wife. I find many an American has as many, but only one of the six is recognized by law." Kindai keeps his sextet of wives in mind by a necklet of six heads of varying shape and color. Mr. William Edward Scott, of Indianapolis, Ind., has been spending several weeks at the Tuskegee Institute, painting portraits of Dr. Washington, Mrs. Washington, Principal Moton, and others. Mr. Scott has also made several studies of Negro life in the surrounding country, and several sketches of scenes on the Institute grounds, which he plans to include in an exhibit of his work in New York City. Mr. Scott studied at the Chicago Art Institute for several years, and also under Henry O. Tanner in Paris, France. One of his pictures was bought by the Argentine Republic, and he has completed mural paintings for public buildings in Chicago, Evanston and Indianapolis. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Mr. J. L. Boykin has organized a club of boys into an orchestra which is known as the "Y. M. C. A. Band." Already fifteen members have joined, and the applications of others are in. Any boy of good behavior can join the club. He will be required to pay one dollar on his instrument on joining, and twenty-five cents each week until it is paid for. Mr. Boykin is greatly pleased at the progress of the boys. The croquet sharks were somewhat broken up last Saturday afternoon, and played in "broken time." Champion King was sick and could not be present at all. The players greatly missed him. In a game of singles, Bell defeated Ross by a score of 5 to 1. Ross felt in his glee later on when in a double-handed game Ross and his partner scored one. Sims, the St. Joe champion, must have left his rabbit foot at home; for, playing singles with Bell at the closing hours of the day, he was defeated—indeed he was completely routed, the score being 5 to 0. The men's meeting will be held next Sunday afternoon at the usual time, 4 o'clock. The Rev. Wm. R. Velte, pastor of the First German M. E. Church, will be the speaker, his subject being, "True Patriotism." All men are invited. CONDENSATION OF FRESH NEWS THE LATEST IMPORTANT DIS PATCHES PUT INTO SHORT, CRISP PARAGRAPH8.

MINERS RENEW LEASES TUNGSTEN COMPANIES RETAIN PRESENT TERMS. While Market Is Stagnant, Primos and Wolf Tongue Offer Renewal Contracts at Old Figures. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Boulder, Colo.-The Primos and Wolf Tongue companies, two of the largest owners of leasing ground in the tungsten district, has announced definitively that their leasers will be given the same terms upon the expiration of contracts now held. All primos leases expire July 1. The Wolf Tongue contracts expire from time to time throughout the summer. Information from Manager William Loach states that the mines and mills of the company will be run full capacity throughout the summer. Nearly 1,00.0 men are affected. Under the present Primos schedule, leasers are paid $12 per unit for ores ranging up to 44 per cent in tungstic-acid. For each additional per cent of tungstic acid above 44 per cent, the price increases 50 cents. Sixty per cent ores bring $20 per unit. Any slump in the Eastern market will necessarily result in a lowering of these prices, but the leasers are assured a sale for their ores as long as there is a market for their produce. Manager William Loach of the Wolf Tongue Company returned from a conference with eastern steel manufacturers with the news that he had contracted for the entire output of his company at $20 per unit of 60 per cent. He reports the market in the East stagnant, with the prevailing price around $30. Recent foreign inquiries for tungsten and tungsten steel may build up the market, he state.

Nor known in the annals of war; it was told in a breath By the fires of the camp; it was only —devotion and death. There were many of such. The hero—I know You would not have called him a hero —at least, ere he gave His life for the flag, like a freeman; for he was a slave. And ignorant, low In the scale of humanity's worth, as the bulk of his race; But he filled a man's place. They fled from the foe. Outnumbered and bleeding, and leaped to a boat by the shore. But it sank on the shoal; they must push it away, if it bore Their number; then lo! Before they could ask "Who does it?" or soldier could spring from the sheltering side. Already a Norro was leaping. "I'll do it!" he cried, And bent to the task. "You soldiers can fight for the flag! You must all get away! Who cares if I stay?" Ah. stalwart to serve, The arms that had toiled in the cotton! He gave, to the last, The sum of his strength; for the fugitives' peril was past. Whereof he was fashioned—yet now, when bullets had rent A sevenfold way for the life that he gave with content. It seemed, where he lay. As if honor impartial had claimed him —to count him apart. With the sons of her heart! —Grace Agnes Timmerman. "I am inclined to think that the mind of the Negro has been too long centered on himself" declared Prof. I. M. Terreil in an address delivered at Houston, Tex. "He has been disposed to determine the worth or worthiness of a movement by the direct good he was to derive from it. We can no longer afford to measure the value of things in terms of our own direct benefits. So long as we continue to do this we may never hope to be counted in fact a part of this great country; nor can we expect to demand and receive equal rights and privileges. An individual or race that falls in the performance of duty forfeits all claims to any rights for duty is paramount to all rights. And you may be assured if you perform your duty, your rights and privileges will follow. It is our duty to prepare ourselves to live the fullest possible lives; to be of the greatest use to the community in which we happen to live and to the state and country at large. It is our duty to take advantage of every opportunity to improve ourselves to the end that society generally will feel us less and less a burden or liability and more and more an asset. "As fast as the white people of Houston or any other city or town are convinced that you are responding to the opportunities and advantages offered, they are willing and are going to extend them; and so, after all, it is up to us as to what rights and privileges we shall enjoy. A wise use of those granted is certain to open up new ones.

Lincoln to Fisk university, the local educational institution for Negroes. The gift was announced by the president of the university, Dr. F. A. McKenzie Mr. Lincoln says in his letter to President McKenzie; "Please express the pleasure that I have in requesting Fisk university to accept the permanent custody of the very interesting Bible presented to my father by a large number of colored persons as a testimonial of their feelings upon the issuance of the Emancipation proclamation. It has seemed to me better that this notable testimonial should be preserved in some institute where its resting place will be permanent, and I can think of no more fitting selection than the institution founded by Gen. Clinton Bowen Fisk immediately upon completing a distinguished military service in the war which resulted in the abolition of human slavery in our country." No great war of our time has ended during the winter months, nor, with the exception of the Russo-Japanese war, has any begun then.

"In concluding my remarks, I wish to exhort all, especially those who have achieved these new honors, that at bottom and as the basis of all life and progress must rest the religion of the lord Jesus Christ. Except we eliminate all deceit and selfishness and get right down to the good old way and not only say we are willing to do so, but actually treat every man as we would like to be treated, there is no way to escape friction and disruption. "I hope the day has dawned when every member of my race will see the wisdom of being upright, honest, reliable and intelligent so that he will have the respect and confidence of the better element of all races. If we are to play the important role in the industrial and economic development of our state and country which it is possible for us to do, we must learn to be more dependable; for labor that is nondependable, that cannot be relied on, is certain to be replaced by other and more reliable labor. When all men shall have reached the point that they will quit trying to deceive each other and remember that honesty is the best policy, we will then be on the road to a better mutual understanding and therefore to a better racial relationship. Let this occasion be an incentive to all for a higher faith in the ultimate outcome of mankind." The refusal of congress to provide for additional Negro regiments in the enlarged army has received a rebuke from Governor Whitman of New York. He has authorized the enlistment of a colored regiment of the National Guard of the Empire State, and the heartening part of it is that, whereas four years ago a similar proposition was strongly opposed by the guardsmen, they support the governor's action today. The Negroes, according to the New York Press, promise that their regiment will be recruited with expedition and that their soldiery "will speedily prove itself worthy of comparison with the whites in loyalty, discipline, alertness and endurance." We pointed out, the other day, that the colored troops now in Mexico were demonstrating just that; indeed, that they were among the best American fighting stock south of the Rio Grande. Of course this is nothing new. The record of the Negro soldiery in the Civil war, when 180,000 fought to preserve the Union, was splendid in every respect. So was its record in our war with Spain. In short, the Negro has won the right through sacrifice and efficiency to be considered an active part of our national defense.

TROUT DIE IN DITCHES WASHED INTO FARM FIELDS BY HIGH WATER. Government Seeks Invention That Will Effectively Protect Young Fish.From Death. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Tests of various devices to prevent fish from entering irrigation ditches are to be made by forestry officials, who say that thousands of trout placed in western streams by the government are killed by being washed out on the fields. There are no less than 1,200 irrigation projects on or near the national forests, and in many places the loss of trout is very heavy. The amount of water used in irrigation, it is said, often determines the advisability of artificially stocking the streams. The government annually plants millions of fish fry in the streams of the national forests. Last year over 1,100,000 were planted in Colorado and Wyoming alone. Where much of the water is used for irrigation, unless the ditches are screened, the trout enter them and are washed out on to the fields. While fish are said to make good fertilizer, officials think that trout are too expensive to be used for that purpose. Most of the western states have laws requiring that the ditches be screened, but they are seldom enforced. The farmers are said to dislike the screens, because they collect drift—wood and trash—which prevents the free flow of the water. A number of devices for screening ditches are in use, and while two or three have been found to be fairly effective most of them are said to be unsatisfactory. It is asserted that this subject presents an excellent opportunity for inventors, since a successful screen will be sure to be widely used. Under present conditions officials are slow to recommend the placing of trout in streams where they are apt to be led off into the irrigation ditches. Denver Stirred at Call for Men. All Denver is working to enlist the Colorado National guard to serviceable war strength. Business men, professional men, ministers—all have joined hands to place the troops from the Centennial state on a basis to vie with any other state in the Union. All day and into the night the recruiting forces at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters and at other places are busy enroling men who would answer the call to the colors. Capt. Davidson and Lieutenant Valle, with a band and many exhibits to show what army life means, were "whooping things up," and their labors were rewarded. Many new recruits joined. Many Students at Militia Camp Many students from three state institutions will be mobilized as members of the National Guard. At Boulder two organizations will draw upon the student body of the University of Colorado for men. Troop D, cavalry, includes about forty students in its membership and its commander, Capt. Homer C. Washburn, is a member of the faculty of the medical school of the university. Company A, engineers, is composed entirely of students of the State School of Mines at Golden, and Battery A, artillery, is composed 90 per cent of students in the Colorado Agricultural college at Fort Collins. Propose Changes in State Laws. Enthusiastic welcome was extended to the two petitions, suggested and backed by Mayor Spier, the first initiating a law to compel the state to care properly for all of its insane, and the second providing for the abolition of the State Tax Commission. Numerous volunteers, including many prominent business men, applied at the city assessor's office for copies of the petitions, so they might assist in the work of circulation. In two hours, on twelve petitions, 1,102 names were returned. Trooper's Mother Would Go as Nurses. The stir of patriotism at the country's call for soldiers has taken root in the hearts of Denver mothers, according to Mrs. Alice Beck, mother of Barbour Beck of Company G, First infantry, who has announced her intention of answering the first call for volunteer nurses.

S. TROOPERS CARRANZA FREES U. S. TROOPERS WILSON SEES WAR CRISIS WITH MEXICO AVERTED; AWAITS REPLY NOTE. WAR TENSION IS EASED MEXICAN OFFICIALS PLEASED WITH PROSPECTS FOR PEACE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. El Paso, Tex., June 29.—American prisoners taken by Carranzistas in the battle of Carrizal will be released. Andres Garcia, Mexican consul in El Paso, informed Gen. Bell, commanding the forces at El Paso, to that effect Wednesday afternoon. They are to be delivered at the border, today, with all arms and equipment captured with them. This is expected to prevent a breach of relations between the two governments for the present and may lead to arbitration. The decision of the Carranzistas to release the American prisoners was unexpected. The attitude of the Carranza officers had been defiant, and Americans did not expect the Carranza government to accede to the ultimatum. Therefore the meeting of the American general and the Mexican consul came as a surprise. When it was divulged that Mr. Garcia had informed Gen. Bell, Mr. Garcia at first declined to make a statement, but later they confirmed the fact that the release had been ordered and that the men would be brought to El Paso to be turned over to the United States. Mr. Garcia said: "My government to show its good faith and to convince the American government that it wants to be fair, has decided to send the prisoners to the border that they may be turned over to Gen. Bell. "Our government does not believe the American government, when it investigates fully, will approve the actions of the American forces which engaged the Carranza troops in action at Carraliz last Friday. For that reason we see no good reason for holding the prisoners—those men of the American command made prisoners by us. We will return the prisoners, with their arms, horses and equipment, to the American border. They will be started from Chihuahua tonight and should arrive here Thursday some time." Border Americans generally believe war with Mexico must come, sooner or later, and they think the sooner it is brought about the better. Mexican officials were happy over the turn in events. They declared that this would mean a lessening of the tension of the last few days. Washington.—Virtually all danger of immediate war with Mexico has been averted by the decision of Gen. Carranza to surrender the American prisoners at Chihuahua, in compliance with President Wilson's demand. War may come yet, but if it does, it will be the result of further clashes between American and Mexican troops or of continued defiance by Carranza of the pacification of northern Mexico by the United States army. As a result of Carranza's compliance with his principal demand, President Wilson decided that there is no immediate occasion for going before Congress to obtain additional authority to enforce his policy. Washington.—Between 300,000 and 1,000,000 American citizens would answer a call for volunteers should the President decide to issue a call because of a war with Mexico. This was the statement of army officers today when they were asked how, in their opinion, the country would respond to a call for volunteers. SIX MILLION IN DIVIDENDS.

The following editorial, which appeared in the Rocky Mountain News of the 26th inst., on "Roosevelt's Great Renunciation," is one that has a ring of sound logic. It not only commends the stand of the Colonel, but its tone goes for the endorsement of the Republican candidate for President. We would but add that the followers of Roosevelt in the Progressive movement take up the cue of their leader and help put a man in the White House that can handle the reins of the government in the times of a crisis as now exist in this nation. The editorial reads: That communication from Theodore Roosevelt to the Progressive National Committee, published this morning, places him on a pedestal above personal ambition and political opportunism and adds most materially to his stature as an unselfish, far-seeing statesman and patriot. He was called on to make such sacrifice as few men in his commanding place with the people are required to do, but he made it ungrudgingly and unfilinchingly and, what is more, gave sound logic and reason for the course he has determined to pursue and the policy which he asks others to take. He has requested the party, which was created by him and for him and which was as eager this year to follow where he led as it was on the day it was launched, to submerge itself in the interests of the Republic in this world-crisis. It may be required of the leader to break with former political associates and dear personal friends because of the stand he has taken; but the die is cast, and there can be no turning back or hesitation. It was given to him to see the way clearly, and no selfish appeal could swerve him from doing what he believed to be his full duty in the most critical period in all history. Those who served with him in the memorable struggle of four years ago must now engage with him in an Armageddon greater than any that has gone before and the outcome of which must have a lasting effect upon this nation. It is not an hour to sulk in the tent or to permit personal grievance to count. This is a year when it matters little what may become of this or that individual who saw in the third party a stepping-stone for political preferment. It is a time when the foundations of the Republic are at issue. Four years ago the division came on internal questions, when not a foreign cloud was visible in the horizon. Today the world is in upheaval and no one can foretell what the year may bring to us. With unerring precision Colonel Roosevelt has differentiated between 1912 and 1916 and brushed aside specious pleas for the continuation of a third party ticket. It will be either the Republican party nominee or the Democratic nominee. As the issues are made and as the parties are aligned, the Progressive party would draw from the former party and be the lever to retain the present incumbent in the White House. Why should such a step be taken by the leader of the Progressive party and the party itself? The issue of the Presidential campaign was compelled by Roosevelt. The Republican party has adopted his platform of Americanism—and the election will be fought, and won, on the vital questions raised by Roosevelt. Never for a moment has there been any doubt with respect to where Colonel Roosevelt was to be found on the national and international issues. He has opposed the Wilson policies tooth and nail. He believes in his heart's core that President Wilson and his party in the last three years have weakened the moral fibre of the nation and are leading it into dangerous shoals through inaction and vacillation. Having such convictions, and having taken his stand now for a year and a half on what this Presidential campaign should turn upon, what could be expected of him in the hour of decision except a determination to defeat those he believes to be injurious to the best interests of this country? It is not for him or those who believe with him to quibble over what a faction of the Republican party may have aimed to do or half-succeeded in doing. The outstanding fact remains and abuts that the Republican party nominated Justice Hughes on a ringing platform, that the candidate stands for those principles which actuated the founders of the Progressive party, and he ought to be elected in the interests of true Americanism and patriotism. In dealing with the Republican party nominee Colonel Roosevelt goes straight to the heart of the matter and brings forward the outstanding fact, which the people want to know—namely, that Hughes has not to be taken on trust or on probation. "His past career is a guarantee that whatever he says before election will be made good by his acts after election," Mr. Roosevelt states, "Morally, his public record shows him to be a man of unbending integrity; intellectually it shows him to be a man of original and trained ability." Never mind the individuals or factions that cling to the candidate to prevent their own obliteration; in whatever place he occupied, Charles Evans Hughes was his own master and hewed to the line. A crisis came into the life of Roosevelt coincident with that which is searching the heart of the Republic. He faced the ordeal with courage and self-abnegation, and he comes out of it stronger and purer and stands before the world a greater and more commanding figure than at any time in his career. His whole-hearted, unquestioning support of the Republican party candidates is certain to have great weight with the people and to bring to the standard the bulk of the men and women who followed him four years ago. Patience and Forbearance Needed in Dealing with Warring Nations Patience and Forbearance Needed in Dealing with Warring Nations The great war has caused so many conditions which are entirely new and presented so many questions which were never before raised or even thought of, that it has been no easy task to meet and answer them. The relations between neutrals and belligerents were never more difficult of adjustment. It was never harder to preserve neutral rights from invasion by the desperate opponents in the titanic conflict in which the power, if not the life, of the great empires of the earth is at stake. © DARRY E. TURNER The peoples and governments at war are blinded by passion; their opinions are unavoidably biased; their conduct frequently influenced by hysterical impulses which approach to madness. Patience and forbearance are essential to a neutral in dealing with such nations. Acts, which, under normal conditions, would be most offensive, must be considered calmly and without temper. Intervention by United States Offers Only Chance for Restoration of Order in Mexico For many years my firm belief that no betterment of conditions can come to Mexico except upon the adoption of an entire and radical change in the government of that republic. Of course we shrink a little at the use of the word "intervention," but what is the alternative? Merely a continuance of disorganization, merely a prolongation of the present status of misery and wretchedness. Today there is not a man in Mexico of sufficient caliber and force to bring about tranquillity and order. I question very much whether any man of pre-eminent and commanding ability will come to the front at any reasonable time in the future. Even if that man of blood and iron, the famous Porfirio Diaz, could come back in the prime and vigor of his young manhood, he would not be adequate to the task. The question is largely a social one. Millions of poverty-stricken and densely ignorant Mexicans have been exploited by the minority comprising the intellectual and wealthy class. Intervention, of course, would be of no avail unless of a permanent nature. To go in there and restore settled conditions and good government is a herculean task. It would mean an expenditure of much money, and probably no small loss of life. It is the only way, however, through which any lasting good can be attained. Task of Supervising Health of the Nation Should Be Taken Over by the Government In my work with 77,000 women I am more and more appalled every day by the inroads of chronic ailments. We need chemical laboratories established in convenient locations for physicians all over the country. There are so many conditions for which physicians cannot intelligently prescribe without chemical analysis, and the average physician has neither the time nor the means nor the knowledge to make these adequately. And we need a broad propaganda of education for the mothers of America. The propaganda which the public health service has put out is of no practical use to the average individual. It is written by physicians in technical language for physicians, and not in the language of the average man or woman. Therefore the public health service, as it has been conducted, has not reached the women in the home except to control contagion. The excellent work for better health as conducted by hundreds of newspapers, and also by some of the large insurance companies, should be taken over by the government and means for better supervision organized. Domestic Discord May Nearly All Be Traced to Four Causes Practically all domestic discord may be attributed to four causes. They are: The bossy husband, made powerful because of his pocketbook, which he never permits anyone to take from him; the unspanked, spoiled child that has its way so much it really does not like it; the gadabout woman, who wants to go anywhere but home, and who tires herself so spending more than her husband's income that she cannot have strength to enjoy herself, and the invalid that wears out half a dozen stout persons, and whose sole existence seems to be devoted to making others miserable. Health is the greatest necessity for optimism and happiness. If I were a physician I would ask my patients certain religious questions before treating them, since nine-tenths of the illness of the world has mental conditions back of it. Reliance of United States Placed Not in Guns But in Moral Character of Citizens A wave of excitement is passing over the United States. Disquieting rumors of the dangers which menace the nation are being disseminated. Our reliance in the past has been placed, not in regiments and cannon, but in the intelligence and the moral character of our citizens. It does not take much courage in these days to demand a great army and navy. It is the way of popularity. Much braver are the men who are protesting against this uncle excitement. The task of America is to be a teacher of morals to the world. She has the power to be the healer of the afflicted as she has proved herself a thousand times in the past. --- 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.

Carter Reed took out a policy for $500 on his life in one of the insurance companies of the city in favor of his wife, Katie Reed. All the premiums were paid but the last one on which there remained due $1.43. Mrs. Reed did not have all the money when the agent called to collect so the agent took $1.50 and receipted for it and said he would call later for the balance. Agent did not call again until the day of the death of Mr. Reed, then would not receive the balance; and the company refused to pay, claiming the policy was forfeited and lapsed. A lawyer brought suit and claimed that the policy was not forfeited, or lapsed, but was in force and that the company through its agent had waived the contract, extended time and given credit. The case went to a jury on the instructions of the court, Judge Perry, on the law, and the jury gave Mrs. Reed a verdict for $500 and interest, upholding Lawyer Townsend's view of the law.

LAKESIDE PARK Perhaps nowhere in the history of summer amusement parks have there been staged the big free spectacles that have taken place at Lakeside. All of Denver and thousands of tourists will long remember "The Wrath of War" and "The Battle of Santiago." as productions far out of the ordinary. Saturday and Sunday nights, under the direction of Mr. Seth C. Bailey who conceives and produces these attractions, will be staged "The Eruption of Mount Pelee," the most appalling catastrophe in the history of the western empire. This will be by far the biggest and most elaborate spectacle yet given in the park, and will depict in a vivid and realistic manner St. Pierre, which was before its destruction perhaps the most beautiful of all West Indian cities, with its pretty houses nestling at the foot of the verdure covered cliffs, and the brilliant coloring of the town reflecting the perfect blue of the Caribbean. Then will be seen the eruption and the destruction of the city, in which thousands and tens of thousands or men, women and children were choked or charred in the quickest holocaust in the history of the world. The performance, which will be seen by every visitor at the park without extra charge, will take place during the first theatre intermission, probably between 9:30 and 9:45. Lakeside's many entertainments, boating, rides, shows, etc., continue to draw the crowds. Since the hot weather set in many picnic parties may be seen daily enjoying themselfs in the various shady nooks throughout the park. Every Thursday is children's day, and each week Miss Naoma Alfrey, the original "Lady of the Lake," has a new and delightful entertainment for the youngsters.

MARIN RECRUTTIN Miss Payne in Front of Enlistment Station Established by Her in New York City. Uncle Sam's first woman recruiting "officer" recently opened headquarters in New York. This "officer"—Miss Edna Payne, a pretty California girl—is not recognized officially as a representative of the United States government. She didn't obtain the job from Uncle Sam; she just created the job and appointed herself to fill it. Miss Payne became imbued with the idea that she would like to assist in securing recruits for Uncle Sam's army and navy, so with her sister, Miss Lillian, who accompanied her to New York from California several months ago, she established an enlistment station. Chad in sailor's cap and middy, Miss Payne stationed herself in front of the station, distributed reading matter relative to the opportunities offered by service in the army and navy, and brought many recruits daily to the regular army and navy officers in charge of the New York enlistment stations. BIG NEW INDUSTRY GROWS FROM CANNING MOVEMENT Uncle Sam's Efforts Enable Women and Girls to Make Money and Stop Huge Waste on the Farms. Uncle Sam and his aids in the department of agriculture have created a great new industry for the women and girls of the country. So far this industry has been developed most highly in the southern states, but it is expected that it will be extended throughout the remainder of the country. Last year 56,000 girls in 15 southern states each made an average profit of $23.30 in this new industry, it is estimated. The canning movement, initiated by the government several years ago, is responsible for the birth of this new industry. There has always been a great waste on the farms of the country because of the excess of fruit and vegetables for which a ready market could not be found. The women and girls are now being taught to put a stop to this waste by canning the surplus crops for home use or for sale during the ensuing year. Canning clubs have been organized by government representatives for the purpose of encouraging this work, but where there is no club individual women and girls can obtain from Uncle Sam full instructions and recipes so that they can engage in this work without the aid of any organization. BOOSTS COMMUNITY CENTERS Commissioner of Education Is Distributing Copies of Cones Designed for Schoolhouse Forums. Five community center songs, especially designed for schoolhouse community forums, have been brought together for the use of the Grover Cleveland and Forum of Washington, of which Miss Margaret Wilson is honorary president, and copies may be obtained from the commissioner of education, department of the interior, Washington. Two of the songs are entirely new, having just made their bow to the public at the Crover Cleveland forum. One is called "It's a Short Way to the Schoolhouse," and is sung to the air of "Tippierary;" the other, entitled "Neighborhood," is sung to the air of "Die Wacht am Rhein." The others are: "The Fellowship of Folks"—a song of neighborhood, sung to the air of "Dring to Me Only With Thine Eyes" or "Auld Lang Syne;" "Heart and Hand," and "This Good Common Ground." These songs all emphasize the significance of the schoolhouse as the common meeting place. All five songs were written by E. J. Ward super specialist in community organization of the bureau of education. They are unusually well adapted to the communal singing that has become so popular a feature of the neighborhood meetings in the schoolhouse. CHANCEDISCLOSES SOURCE OF POTASH United States May Be Freed From Dependence Upon Foreign Supply. CEMENT MILLS' DUST USED Surprising Discovery Is Made While Efforts Are Being Made to Prevent Fumes From Damaging California Orange Groves. Uncle Sam's chemical experts believe that by the merest chance, in an effort to abate a serious nuisance, which was menacing the orange groves of California, a discovery has been made which may result in giving the United States an adequate supply of potash for fertilizing purposes and thus free this country from its absolute dependence upon Germany for this much-needed commodity. While the government experts say it is too early to make a sweeping prediction, they are optimistic and are conducting their investigations along these lines. In the past the United States has paid tribute to Germany to the extent of $20,000,000 a year for potash so necessary for enriching the soil especially in the cotton-growing districts of the South. The European war, however, stopped these importations, and, necessity being the sterr, mother of invention, the federal chemists and others accelerated their efforts toward finding a potash supply in this country. The latest discoveries, which promise to free the United States from the dominance of Germany in regard to this valuable product, came about accidentally, as have many other important discoveries. A great cement mill in the orange-growing regions of California was sending tons of dust daily into the air, the winds carrying the dust and depositing it on the orange groves, much to their detriment. When the owners protested, the cement mill men began buying in the nearest groves at $1,000 an acre, but finally had to give this up as being too expensive. Suits were filed and injunctions asked. About this time the attention of the cement-mill owners was attracted to an invention of Dr. F. G. Cottress for the precipitation of dusts from smelters' fumes. Doctor Cottrell, who later became the chief metallurgist of the United States bureau of mines, worked out this process while a professor at the University of California several years ago. The cement-mill men decided to experiment with the new invention, and the Cottrell process was installed. The surprising result was that the new process not only eliminated the dust fumes, but gave the cement people a product that contained a great amount of potash. The results are said to have been so satisfactory that it was thought for a while that the potash might prove to be the main product of some cement mills, with the manufacture of cement only a byproduct. This has not exactly come about, but the cement company last year, with potash at war-time prices, sold $100,000 worth, and it is said that the profit was $80,000. The result of this has been that the cement companies generally are taking notice. Another company near Hagerstown, Md., which from its location did not have to bother about the dust nuisance, is voluntarily putting in the Cottrell process in order to save potash, which it estimates to amount to four tons a day. Some cement-mill men declare that the present mills in this country, properly equipped, are capable to turning out 100,000 tons of potash yearly, which is about one-fourth of the amount imported from Germany in normal times. It is further declared that there will be an incentive to establish new mills located near deposits that are rich in potash, and that in the future no cement mill will have a haphazard location did not have to bother about mills may be erected in certain parts of the country for the purpose of making potash the main product and cement the by-product. The belief is prevalent among those who are interested that, as a by-product in the manufacture of cement, potash can be made at such a price as to make it profitable in normal times at normal prices. The stopping of the dust nuisance in California by the use of the Cottrell process has suggested another field of endeavor. Now chemists are talking of applying this process for the obtaining of potash from the gases of the blast furnaces in the manufacture of pig iron. Charles Cattell of Staunton, Va., a widely known chemist and metallurgical expert makes the statement that the byproduct that can be collected from the blast-furnace gases are sufficient in value to affect profoundly the question of the manufacture of iron in certain sections and from certain materials. Aids Rural School Teachers Uncle Sam is endeavoring to raise the standard in rural schools and to this end has arranged a reading course for teachers. Representatives of the government are also organizing the teachers into reading circles with the idea of enabling them to broaden the scope of their work. NEW WOODS TO BE USED TIMBER WASTE GREAT Uncle Sam Finds Materials From Which Paper Can Be Made. Experiments Made by Government Experts, It is Beloved, Will Aid in Stopping Rise in Prices. Experiments made by Uncle Sam lead to the conclusion that satisfactory wood pulp can be made from a number of heretofore little known woods. A government publication just issued contains 70 samples of paper manufactured by different processes, chiefly from woods heretofore practically unused for this purpose. It is pointed out that the spruce forests of the country are threatened with exhaustion and that the cost of spruce pulpwood has steadily increased. If the price of news print paper is to be kept at a reasonable figure, say the experts, more efficient methods of converting spruce into pulp must be developed or cheaper wood substituted for it. The bulletin goes on to say that the method of manufacturing ground wood pulp has changed very little since its introduction into this country in 1887. It was with the idea of developing new methods and improving the old that tests were undertaken at the forest service laboratories at Wausau and Madison, Wis. As a result, the relation of the different steps in the manufacturing process to each other has been definitely established and the merits of each treatment determined. The paper made from new woods was given a practical tryout by two large newspapers with satisfactory results. The tests showed that eleven new woods give promise of being suitable for the production of news print paper, while a number of others will produce manila paper and boxboards. Most of these woods are confined to the West, while the ground-wood industry now obtains the bulk of its raw material from the East. It is thought that pulp-making plants must eventually move to points where they can obtain a plentiful supply of wood and an abundance of cheap water power, two prime requisites in the business. The experts say that because the national forests contain immense quantities of the suitable woods and abundant opportunities for power development, they will undoubtedly play an important part in the future of the wood pulp industry. FLOWERS IN GREAT VARIETY Natural Gardens of Mount Ranier National Park Surpass Those of Any Other Alpine Region in World. That the natural flower gardens of Mount Ranier National park surpass in beauty of color, number of species and luxuriance of growth those in any other alpine region of the world is a statement made by J. B. Flett in a pamphlet entitled "Features of the Flora of Mount Ranier National Park," recently issued by the department of the interior. Among the plants Illustrated and discussed are the Indian pipe or ghost plant, which is nowhere more at home than in the woods of Washington; the barber's pole, a beautiful red-and-white striped plant confined to the Pacific coast; the Canada dogwood, which is known in the East as the berry bunch; the anemone, which forms beautiful spots here and there; the white rhododendron, whose creamy white flowers are conspicuous in the woods; the twin flower, a dainty and graceful training vine; the squaw grass, used by the Indians in basket making; the avanche lily, which thrusts its leaves and flowers through the snow; the valerian, which grows in great beds of brilliant color; the mountain phlox, arrayed in large masses of lavender flowers, and the heather, with its bell-shaped drooping flowers. BEST FOOD FOR THE CHILD Uncle Sam Issues Bulletin Showing Mothers Proper Diet and Way to Prepare Dishes Suggested. Uncle Sam has done much for the farmers, the business men and other classes of citizens and he is now paying considerable attention to the children of the country. He is now telling the mothers what they should feed their children after they have outgrown the baby diet. A bulletin on this subject, which has just been issued, avoids everything in the way of scientific terms but tells plainly what should be included in a child's meals for each day, with illustrations showing these foods upon the table. The bulletin suggests bills of fare for the children and contains recipes for making the dishes suggested. OUTPUT OF PAPER IS LARGE Production in United States in 1914 Valued at $794,055,675, Increase of 25 Per Cent. The United States produced $294, 175,875 worth of paper in 1914 according to statistics of the census bureau, which have just been made public. This represented an increase of 25.1 per cent in a period of five years. The production of news print paper alone in 1914 amounted to 1,313,234 tons, valued at $52,942,774. There were manufactured in the same year 934,979 tons of book paper, valued at $73,499,514, an increase of 34.5 per cent in quantity over the production in 1909. Amounts to 36,000,000 Cords Annually It Is Estimated. Refuse of Sawmill's Each Year Would Make Clock of Wood Quarter of Mile on Each Edge. Uncle Sam's statisticians have compiled some interesting figures regarding the extent of the timber waste that results from the operation of the sawmills of the United States. There are more than 48,000 sawmills in the country, and their output of waste in the form of sawdust, shavings, slabs and other wood refuse is estimated as 36,000,000 cords per year. This is equal to over four and one-half billion cubic feet of waste, which is the capacity of a bin one-half mile high with a base covering a 40-acre lot. Or, considering each cord to contain 80 cubic feet of solid wood with all the cracks and air spaces taken out, these 36,000,000 cords would make a block of wood more than a quarter of a mile on each edge. Perhaps one-half of this so-called waste product is not strictly speaking wasted, but serves a useful purpose as fuel under the boilers. Much of the remaining 18,000,000 cords not only serves no useful purpose, but in most cases is a source of inconvenience and danger, and costs the mill time and money. Sawmill waste is disposed of in various ways. Some goes to the local fuel markets, some to pulp mills or to wood distillation plants. Shavings and hog cuttings, as well as other mill waste, are sometimes used to fill low places in the yard. However, the most common method of getting rid of waste is by burning either in a firepit having an open fire which sometimes has a protecting wall on the side toward the mill, or in a burner inclosed on all sides and having a spark-arresting screen at the top and a fire grate near the bottom. A closed burner and conveyer costs about $12,000 for a mill of a hundred thousand feet daily capacity. Forty per cent of the larger mills, cutting more than 55,000 board feet dail, are equipped with closed burners. Forty-five per cent have firepits. The remainder have neither and dispose of their waste in some other way. It is estimated that for a mill of 100,000 feet capacity the cost of conveying the waste from the machine where it is made and destroying it in a closed burner is 42 cents per cord or $10.05 per day. Burners seldom bring in any revenue, although in a few cases ashes are sold for fertilizer, and in a number of others the burner furnishes hot feed water for the boilers. No well managed mill would produce waste if it could be avoided. This, however, is not possible, so the next best thing is to seek out some method of utilization of the waste so it will pay for its disposition. The forest service is working on this problem, but has not yet found a satisfactory solution. SUBMARINE SCHOOL OPENED Great Increase in Fleet of Undersea Boats Makes It Necessary to Have New Training Institution. Because of the great increase that is being made in the number of submarines in the United States navy, Uncle Sam has established a new school for navy officers. In this school, which is located at New London, Conn., officers will be given instruction in the theoretical and practical working of submarines. There were only 18 submarines in active service in the United States navy in 1913 and assigned to these boats there were only 19 officers, 13 of whom were ensigns, who had been out of the naval academy less than three years. It is planned that officers, when they graduate from the submarine school, shall be appointed to subordinate positions on board boats and be placed in command only after they have been trained and have proved their aptitude for submarine work in subordinate positions. It is believed that this arrangement will assure the best handling of the submarine engines and batteries now existing and perhaps aid in the development of the machinery which is far from perfect. CID YOU HAVE YOUR FIVE? That Many Dcots and Shoes Manufa tured for Every Inhabitant of United States in 1914. Two and a half pairs of shoes were manufactured in the United States in 1914 for every inhabitant of the country, according to Uncle Sam's statistics, as contained in a report of the bureau of the census. The total output of boots and shoes in 1914 amounted to 252,516,603 pairs. Of this total, men used the greatest proportion, getting 38.8 per cent of the entire output. Women's boots and shoes came second with 32 per cent of the total. Misses' and children's boots and shoes represented 19.1 per cent of the entire output while boys' and youths' footwear was only 9.1 per cent of the total. Census returns showed that 1,355 establishments were engaged in the manufacture of footwear, exclusive of rubber, in 1914 and the total value of boots, shoes and slippers manufactured was $501,707,937. an increase of 13.3 per cent over 1909. © by MARLEAU An Excellent Treatment of the Front Door With Ivy Trained Over the Pillars. FLORAL HINTS By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN. Consider the small amount of care it requires, there is no flower more satisfactory and beautiful than the dahlia. Such hardy bulbs as hyacinths, tulips, lilies, crown imperials, phlox, iris and the like, do better, as a rule, if allowed to remain in the ground undisturbed for years. If you have any cold-frame plants, such as violets, roses and carnations, don't fail to expose them more and more to the air for gradual hardening off before planting. Try growing geraniums this year. Next to cannas, they will give more satisfaction for the trouble expended than almost any other flower mentionable. Be sure you get those, however, adapted for growing in beds. When your Easter lilies get through blooming, water them until the leaves begin to fade, then withhold water until the tops die. When that occurs you can put the pots in the cellar and leave them there until autumn. Gladiolus bulbs will blossom a year earlier if peeled before planting. Being dry, the husk requires a long time to soak up so the new growth can penetrate it, but if it is removed growth starts at once. For a perpetual delight all summer few vines are better to grow than the Madeira and the Columbian climber. Their foliage is of a very rich, glossy green, and the delicate white flowers, or flower-clusters of the Madeira vine are not only abundant, but deliciously fragrant. Both vines are easy to grow and in a fairly good soil will attain a height of 20 to 25 feet. Although the asparagus sprengeri produces only tiny flowers, its foliage is so glorious, so green and restful to the eye, that it is a plant much to be desired. Not requiring a great amount of sun, it can be placed back of other plants and, if somewhat above them, its rich beauty will act as a charming foil. For speedy results there is no annual vine more desirable than the morning glory, in all its varieties. While it is true that the blossoms are not lasting, they present a lively spectacle in the morning, adequate to reward anyone rising in time to review them. It is doubtful if there is any other one thing in the culture of house plants so little understood as the proper application of moisture. Generally the best way to determine when a plan needs water is to take a pinch of the soil and rub it between the thumb and finger. If dry enough to become powdery, water should be applied; but if it is still so damp as to THE ROSE BLOOM THE FLOWER BOX A Pretty Arrangement for a Table: --- mold between the fingers no more water will be needed for a time. Lilies are, of course, an exception to this rule, and, in fact, almost all kinds of bulbs. Pansies are a desirable flower to have and a 5-cent package will be sufficient for one ordinarily to grow. They want to be started indoors in a box full of rich soil and kept in a slightly shaded place. The dirt should be damp all the time, to insure which requires frequent watering; and when the pansies are planted out it is better on this account to have the bed on the north side of the house. There, if given a little care, they can be made to bloom till frost comes in the fail. GLOXINIAS FINE BLOOMERS Bv E. VAN BENTHUYSEN Spread the tubers out on pieces of old carpet made and kept quite warm and damp, to sprout. When the sprouts appear, pot the tubers in a light, spongy soil. A six-inch pot for each tuber. Gloxinias come in white, crimson and purple, and in a combination of all those colors. Some varieties are bordered with a contrasting color, others have a throat of light or dark color, while still others have spots of dark color on a light or white ground. These plants are easy to grow and are one of the most beautiful of our garden plants. They are a good type for the busy woman who wants to have a garden that will give a showing for little effort. If the seed is started early in the season the p'ants b'oom the same summer. They do best in a light, rich soil, and are fine pot plants for the window garden. KILL OUT THE POISON IVY Wage war upon the poison ivy and keep at least the home place free from it. Only the most drastic measures have any effect upon it. Teach the children to avoid it and any climber that has three-lobed leaf. While poison ivy is not fatal in its effects and many people are immune from its attacks, it causes much unnecessary suffering and it often affects and impairs the health. Start a crusade against the pest among your neighbors and work against the common enemy. Dig or plow it up to the smallest root and branch for it is so tenacious to life that a twig allowed to lie upon the ground has been known to take root. If every root cannot be dug touch the broken end with crude oil or some strong acid. A load of fresh manure dumped on it in August will finish it. WITH MORE TO SEE --- His Celebration Photo by Frank Fournier. --- MAN WHO MADE the FOURTH LIKE a firecracker that smolders quietly and finally explodes long after the rest of the bunch have banged and sizzed their way into oblivion, comes tardily the story of the man to whom we owe our Fourth of July. Those who have not heard the story and who endeavor to recall some chapter of American history telling of this great man will search their memories in vain. So obscure has he remained in the annals of those times that even his name is unknown; there is only one glimpse of hip, as a rider hurrying through the night with a message that was to bring us our Glorious Fourth. The Chicago Post tells the story: "The friends of a Declaration of Independence were afraid that they might not be in a majority in the great Philadelphia gathering. It is affirmed that they counted noses and were fearful that they would fall short by one or two votes. Then it was that they determined to send a messenger into Delaware to bring back an absent delegate who it was known would vote right if he were present. They looked for a hard rider with the cause at heart, a man who would ride the race for liberty and count fatigue a pleasure. They found him in a man whose name is unknown to posterity, but who deserves well of it. "The unknown rode on his mission. He tore away, as one of his contemporaries bore witness, as if the devil were at his heels. He broke existing records and sent the absent delegate back in a hot hurry and in time to vote. The Declaration debates and proceedings were secret, but there was a story well believed that the resolution carried by one vote. We have Paul Revere's ride in living verse, but no one has sung the song of the unknown rider, 'The Man Who Made the Fourth.' "Here's to him!" EMBLEMS MUST NOT FAKE Duty of Americans to Hold High Forever the Glory Handed Down by Their Forefathers. T WAS the practice of Americans for many years to observe the Fourth of July patriotically. Their celebrations did not consist of noise alone. Attending all the music, cannonading, bell ringing and marching there was an intellectual feature that heartened the old and inspired the young. In the unroarious festivities of earlier times the treasured emblems and trophies of liberty were all in sight for one day at least, and by recurring to the principles of the Declaration everybody's knowledge of and faith in the doctrines that gave this continent a measure of freedom and justice were strengthened and renewed, says the New York World. If these emblems are fading the fault is due more to our native-born inhabitants, who think they have learned all the lessons of liberty, than to the millions of newcomers, whose minds are still open and whose eyes are still keen. What proportion of the rising generation knows or has accepted the "self-evident truths" upon which the republic rests— "That all men are created equal? "That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unallenable rights? "That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? "That to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed? And "That whenever any form of govern- ment becomes destructive of these ends it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness." Interest in these propositions used to be cultivated in various ways, partly as a pleasure, partly as a duty. Today the words are unfamiliar, the flag itself is infrequently seen, and Lexington, Bunker Hill, Saratoga, Valley Forge, Trenton, Savannah, Cowpens, King's Mountain and Yorktown are dimly remembered. Yet we may be sure that of the multitudes of recent arrivals in the United States there are many whose steps have been guided by the ideals, symbols and names which to us are vague or forgotten. The valuable things that young Europe is learning here are acquired not from young America, but from old America. The landmarks of liberty which young America fails to see or ignores are still plain enough to the young Europe transplanted into America. There are fading emblems in the case of young Europe also, but they are of crowns and coronets, thrones and scepters, divine right and privilege, a shackled press and stifed speech. To those who hunger and thirst for liberty and opportunity the old American emblems blaze afar. To those who are surfeited with liberty or unappreciative of it they fade and die. THE FLAG THEY LOVE SUNDAY, JULY 14 FORT WORTH, MICHIGAN The revelation of liberty has no validity unless it is a continuing one. Carved into pallid marble and draped with a flag, it is chilled and dead. It must be renewed each day in flesh and blood, in hearts and brains and sinewy hands. The fathers served the state before they served themselves. We must do the same. Any celebration of Independence day which does not give the place of prominence to God is inadequate and unworthy. The words of the poet trace our liberties to the right source and give the honor to him to whom the honor is due. Hall! Independence, Hall! Heaven's next best gift, To that of life and the immortal soul! BUD SMITH GA The KIND WANTED SAVED the CAUSE Old-Time Fourth It was the mayor of a small town a few miles away who dropped into the office of a Pittsburgh lawyer to say: "We are going to have a wide-open Fourth of July in our town and we want a bang-up oration. Have you got one?" "My dear sir," replied the lawyer, "I have got no less than seven, and wherever they have been delivered they have brought out wild enthusiasm. I will read you No. 1." "Hold on a minute," said the mayor, "does No. 1 say anything about the tea being thrown overboard in Boston harbor?" "Of course, that is a strong point." "It isn't worth shucks! We have heard it 20 times, and it's got to be old tea with us. Does No. 2 say anything about the Mayflower?" "Certainly," replied the lawyer. "Most Fourth of July orations start in there." "It won't start in there in our town this year. The old craft is played out. How's No. 3 on Bunker Hill?" "Great, sir—great!" "But we don't want it. It wasn't much of a scrap, anyhow. Does No. 4 tell about the sufferings at Valley Forge?" "Most surely, sir, and that touches every heart in the crowd." "But our hearts won't be touched by it," said the mayor. "But what sort of a Fourth of July oration do you want?" asked the lawyer. "Why, one about boat racing, baseball, football, and if you could work SAVED th Only a few are aware of the fact that indirectly the capture of Andre was due to a woman's intuition and to her quick decision. During the operations of the American army in the vicinity of the Hudson, Lieut. John Webb, an aid on Washington's staff, was a frequent visitor at the mansion of Gerard C. Beekman at Peekskill. One day Lieutenant Webb left a valise containing an amount of gold and one of his uniforms with Mrs. Beekman, asking her not to give it to anyone without a written request from himself or his brother Samuel. Some two weeks later a neighbor named Joshua Hett Smith came riding up for the lieutenant's grip, talked so convincingly that Mr. Beekman was about to give it to him, when his wife interfered. Smith got impatient. "Why, Mrs. Beekman," he said, "you know me very well. Jack didn't give me that request for his valise because he was in a hurry and didn't have time to write it. But now he needs his uniform right away and must have it. It isn't as if you were giving the valise o a stranger." But Cornelia Beekman's feminine Old-Time It has vanished forever, but it was great fun while it lasted. We tumbled out of bed at daybreak, and cheered for Washington. We fired the old cannon or anvil at - SO WE DUMPED THE TEA IN THE BOSTON HARBOR BANG! HE'S REQUIRED LONG ENOUGH CALL BE PRESIDENT YET! Sunrise, and cheered for the Continental congress. Then the Stars and Stripes were hoisted to the top of the hickory pole and we hurrahed for General Jackson.

And as the lawyer watched him take his hat and walk quickly out of the office he said to himself: Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY "And we call our flag Old Glory!"— Pittsburgh Dispatch.

"It is true that I know you very well, Smith," she rejoined, sternly. "I too well to let you have Sam's property." Mr. Beekman himself was inclined to side with Smith, but his wife remained firm and finally the visitor rode off disgruntled. Smith called for Lieutenant Webb's valise on the very day of Andre's flight. Andre himself was in hiding in Smith's house. Smith, it seems, had heard Lieutenant Webb talk about the grip and its contents that afternoon at the tavern, and knowing that Webb and Andre were both of the same size had determined to get the patrol officer's uniform for the British spy. 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. Had Andre made his dash for New York, disguised as an aid of the commander in chief himself, there is no doubt that the American outposts would have facilitated instead of hindered his progress, and that he would have reached the British lines scot-free. That he did not get Webb's uniform is due solely to the keenness and determination of an American matron. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction and having a red sash tied around his middle and a cockade in his hat, appeared and rode up and down the streets, followed by a crowd of admiring small boys. Then, a couple of hours were devoted to lemonade, root beer, ginger bread, and the way we licked them at Yorktown. Promptly at one o'clock the military company turned out. They were 11 strong, and they looked like conquerors. They right-faced and they left-faced, and they marched off, followed by the plaudits of the assembled thousands. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver Then the fire company turned out and squirted water over Deacon Hempstead's barn, and there was a feeling in every bosom that our town was safe from a Chicago fire. There was a march to the grove. There was oratory. There was cheering for everything and everybody. At night there was fireworks. More than two dozen skyrockets and Roman candles sailed into the darkness, and ten bunches of firecrackers were put under an empty barrel and lighted at once. When midnight came the weary patriots retired to their slumbers, and next morning the only man or boy who hadn't a sore throat, burned fingers, or a black eye was the man or boy in some other town not patriot enough to celebrate the day.

DAY OR NIGHT 系 MARIE 系 Summery Frock of Sheer Material Here is a little summery frock of organdie which might just as well be of lawn or volle or any other material, just so it is sheer and crisp enough. There is a refinement in sheer fabrics which is half their charm, and this accounts for the use of lively colors in transparent cotton and silk goods. Either may be used to make a dress exactly like the model pictured which is sure to compel admiration. There is nothing difficult in its construction, so that the home dressmaker will be able to turn it out as satisfactorily as a professional. It is merely a straight, full skirt and a gathered blouse, joined at the waistline by a narrow belt. But its up-to-tendeness is apparent in the method of decorating the skirt, and in the management of sleeves and collar. In the picture it is shown in plain white or gandie, but one can hardly think of a thin summer fabric that will not look well made up in this way. Ruchings, two inches wide, are made THEATRE Adjusting the Bridal Veil Let the brides of today take notice that there are many new ways for draping the wedding veil. If it is an heirloom of lace the fortunate bride who is to wear it will wish to emphasize its richness and its age. She will consider just how to wear it to the very best advantage of the veil and herself. And all at once, since June arrived, a great number of new arrangements has been launched, noticeable because we have not seen their like before. Almost all tulle veils fall from caps made of this ethereal material. One of these caps was covered with small shirred tucks massed together. A frill of tulle fell over the brow, and the long ample veil of tulle streamed from the back of the cap. A wreath made of white roses and orange blossoms was posed at a sprightly tilt about it, and an upstanding spray of roses and orange blossoms stood up bravely at the right side near the back. Another fascinating and novel cap was made of narrow moire ribbon. Several bands of it, springing from a plaiting of tulle which extended in a SCHULZ 1 by cutting the goods crosswise into strips and joining them into one long strip. This is to be hemmed on the sewing machine in the narrowest possible hem, along both raw edges. It is gathered lengthwise along the center, and this work is also done on the machine. Or if a plaited ruching is preferred the hemmed strip is laid in double box plaits and these are basted down and afterward stitched down on the machine. They may be made of taffeta silk. The skirt is hemmed in a three-inch hem and two groups of narrow tucks introduced in it, one above the hem and the other above the knees. The ruching is set on above and below the lower tucks, and at the lower side of the other group. It is used for joining a wide frill to the elbow sleeves and as a decoration for the blouse. The blouse opens at the front in a V, and one might expect it to be finished with a quaint fichu. But instead it is collared and caped in the unmistakable 1916 mode, and instead of a sash a narrow ribbon girdle is fastened with a little cluster of cherries. THE FILM OF "THE MARRIAGE OF THE WESTERN WOMAN" BY JOHN H. HARRIS, WITH A FILM BY JOHN H. HARRIS, AND A FILM BY JOHN H. HARRIS. band about the head, were brought together in a rosette of loops and orange blossoms on top of the head. A little cluster of orange blossoms was poised at each side, on the plaited band, just over the temple. From the remainder of the band the full long veil of tulle depended. The veil of lovely old lace shown in the picture looks as if it might have graced a royal bride. It is shown in two arrangements. In one there is a Juliet cap of pearl and crystal beads and the veil is boxplaited across the back and side, falling from a head dress in keeping with it. In the other arrangement the veil is laid in box plaits across the brow and gathered in at the back to form a cap. Accepting traditional ideas, orange blossoms and buds are placed in little sprays at each side and over the plaiting at the back. There is no more appealing charm than that of the veil draped with orange blossoms about the brow. But many a bride foregoes it, choosing to wear her orange blossoms in a corsage or wrist bouquet, for the sake of novelty in the adjustment of her veil. England makes 25,000,000 needles weekly. ```markdown ``` P. M. B. RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992 FRANK S.
