THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO AND NEW MEXICO Charles E. Hughes An Ideal Candidate VOL. XX11. Charles Hughes Special to Colorado Statesman. "We renew our pledge to the ancient ideals of individual liberty, of opportunity denied to none because of race or creed, of unswerving loyalty. We have a vision of America prepared and secure; strong and just; equal to her tasks, and exemplar of the capacity and efficiency of a free people. I indorse the platform and accept its nomination." Such are the words with which Charles E. Hughes closed his formal speech accepting the nomination of the Republican party for the presidency of the United States, at Carnegie hall on July 31. This is the only part of a notably strong and irrefutable statement of facts and conditions surrounding and affecting the American people that may specifically be taken as referring to the Negro. It rings with the earnest and sincere convictions of an earnest and honest man. It is not fulsome nor flattering. It is blunt and direct as was to be expected of one who exalts truth and justice above the varnish of unmeaning rhetoric and the indefensible sophistries of greed and self-seeking. The introduction of Senator Harding, who was chairman of the Republican national convention and of the special notification committee was in his most happy and vigorous style. Referring to the late convention, he said: "That convention uttered the principles of a confident, determined, reunited and enthusiastic Republican party, which turns to you in highest respect and trust as a nominee best typifying the party's purposes and the people's desires." Looking at the candidate from every angle, either of private life or public work, these words of Senator Harding are abundantly justified. The former is as pure and refreshing as the early dew that bathes the cheek of weary travellers along secluded mountain paths and the latter, in its marvelous accomplishments and widely distributed benefactions, will ever remain a tower of achievement to insistently beckon the zeal and talent of our sturdy American youth. He best typifies the party's purposes and the peoples desires because, schooled in the fundamental principles and administration of justice, his standards of civics, of ethics and of diplomacy are entirely divorced from the unworkable ideals of the dreamer and theorist and are tangible and dependable assets in the realization of the people's desire to return to a governmental procedure and practice that is safe and sane and that shall re-establish the Republic in the pathway towards the stars where the early founders placed her. JONATHAN COVER SCORES "NEGRO DEGENERACY" TALK OF SOUTHERN WHITES (From New York Evening Post) The Negro race has itself produced physicians and surgeons, but its opportunities in this direction have been few. It is therefore an indictment against the white medical practitioner that E. A. Hooton, of the Peabody Museum at Harvard, makes in the Medical Review of Reviews when he asserts that we know little or nothing of the anatomy, physiology or pathology of the American Negro; that there has been no attempt to ascertain whether the Negro's removal from a tropical to a temperate climate has resulted in adaptations; and that a number of questions of interest to the specialist in tropical medicine, the dermatologist are wholly unsolved. In an editorial the Review commends this paper, and attacks the narrow attitude of publications like the Southern Medical Journal, as of the physicians at Southern medical conferences who have paid their chief attention to the Negro in describing his "degeneracy." But the Northern scientist as well as the Southern is at fault. The opportunities for study are at hand for each, and greater use should have been made of them. British medical investigators have a better record in the special study of the black man. DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1916 state Hist & Nat Hist Boci Bstate House ADO THE JOURNAL G, MONTAN DENVER COLORADO EXPERIENCE OF NEGRO NEWSPAPER EDITOR In these days of Negro journalism, when colored newspapers are ever coming and going, it is ofttimes a most perplexing problem to know what will give satisfaction to that portion of the public for which the paper is published. Some want scandal, strong, savory odoriferous scandal, scandal whose pungent aroma ranges far into the ambient atmosphere of the blue canopied realms above. They want it, want badly, unless it touches their own garments or shows up the skeleton in the closet of some intimate friend, then they think that no scandals should be published. Some feel that a colored paper should never publish any of the misdeeds of colored people and if white papers publish them, why of course it is the duty, in their opinion, of the colored papeers to open up a barrel of white wash and begin whitewashing at once. Many feel that a colored newspaper should be a protector, an avenging angel, a vigilance committee, so that when trouble or danger of any kind comes to the colored people the paper should go to the front for them, regardless of their support, regardless of their long past due subscriptions. Around barber shops, saloons, street corners and churches there is ever gathered a "bunch" usually composed of those who owe for the paper, or those who always borrow one to read. They criticize, knock and hammer some colored newspaper with all the vulgar force of their limited language. They can tell just how the paper should be run. They generally abuse the local colored paer, boost the out-of-town colored paper, then buy the white paper! A veteran in the newspaper field once gave this advice to a young editor: "As you will me," damned if you do and damned if you don't, the best plan is to run the paper to suit yourself. "First make sure you are right then go ahead." If you succeed the world is with you. If you fail, why you will not be bothered in your lonesomeness. Every enemy made in a just and virtuous cause adds a jewel to the crown" that's being held in trust for you in New Jerusalem. There is for colored papers a mission, a duty. They constitute a beacon light to point out the path for those likely to become misled by the many rays emanating from race prejudice, segregation, ignorance. They make no pretense of handling the --- daily news of the world, except when it becomes their duty to shift from our people the burden of misrepresentation, or bestow upon them merited honors that have failed to reach their destination. We should be brave enough to expose the weakness of the race in order that its members may learn of their condition and remedy them. We have no fight with publications of other races when they tell the truth concerning us, but when the truth is embarrassing and to that is added slander, then they have united insult toinjury and the Negro newspaper in its protest should have the support of not only colored people, but all people who worship at the shrine of justice. Our papers have many deficiencies. Reciprocity is in order. If the people will help the papers, the papers will help the people, and when the people and paper are united, ignorance will become a thing of the past and the blessing of wisdom will bring peace and prosperity.

Speaking in the Harris Baptist Temple Sunday, on the spread of contagious disease, Prof. Holmes said: "The City Council or legislature should make a law prohibiting the keeping of bodies in residences more than thirty-six hours. "Many of the people keep their deceased from four to seven days in order to have a big parade Sundays with secret orders. This pernicious practice is one of the causes of the high death-rate among us." concluded Prof. Holmes. Youngstown, O.—Mrs. C. U. Murray 732 Erie street, has designed a flag which she calls a "Flying Monument to Booker T. Washington." The field of the flag is black. Superimposed on this field is a white heart and in the center of the heart is a striking bust of the late Dr. Washington. An anchor indicates the tradition which he was bound to but broke away from to help the people; an arrow points to his book of knowledge transmitted to the people; and an eagle reminds every one that the colored people are Americans. Mrs. Murray has also a song and a poem. the three representing the labor of nine months. The designer's idea is that this flag shall be extensively used in commemoration of the dead leader's birthday. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 1.—The Anti-Lynch Law that was designed to stop lynchings in this State by holding the sheriffs to strict accountability was defeated.

Waco, Texas, July 22. - Police officials here have put A. T. Smith, manager of the Paul Quinn Weekly, in jail because he dared to print his opinion of the horrible burning of a colored boy in that town some months ago.

Elliott, the dry goods merchant of Muskogee, Okla., has written to the representatives of the Kansas City Negro Business League, advising that an overland trip will be made from Oklahoma to Kansas City by more than one hundred persons in automobiles.

It will be a notable demonstration of Negro business success when these breezy Oklahomaans roll into Kansas City in their own motor cars. Atlantic City, N. J.—When Royal Robinson was promoted to be a sergeant of police in this city he was the first colored man in the history of Atlantic City to receive such an appointment.

The next thing looked for is the appointment of a Negro NO 52 fire company, and the commissioners promise to make good. Albany, Ga., July 28.—The first bale of cotton for Georgia, so far as is known here, was marketed Saturday at Pelham. It was raised by Ned Sanders, a farmer, in the western part of Mitchell county.

The bale was sold this morning to the Hand Trading Company in Pelham, who shipped it by express immediately to Savannah. It weighed five hundred pounds. Baltimore, Md.—The second inning in the fight over the $100. 000 estate of the late James L. Hitchens was played last Saturday when his white widow sued out a writ of replevin for possession of the household furniture. The writ was directed against the administrators, Attorneys Warner T. McGuinn, Peter J. Campbell and German H. H. Hunt. Mr. McGuinn is colored. The adopted white son of the deceased is his principal legatee. He left three brothers $600 between them but they vacated the will through Attorneys Hawkins and McMechen. WONAN ADOPTS ST. PAUL MINN.. PRIEST St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 4. Father Stepen L.

I am a zealous worker in the Catholic Church and am deeply interested in the work which Father Theobald has been doing. I have some property and when the time comes I want him to benefit by it and further his work." Father Theobald lives at 319 Fuller street. He has been priest four years.

A whetstone and an ax, said to be Under the caption, "Negroes Must Act," the Chattanooga Times invites the attention of the Negroes of Chattanooga to dangerous and deplorable conditions existing in that city. It points to the terrific death rate among the Negroes, the increase of tuberculosis and other deadly diseases and to the shriveling of the Negro population, due to fewer births than deaths, notwithstanding the heavy birth rate. Chattanooga is not exceptional among Southern cities in this respect, but typical. In all the larger cities there is a heavy Negro population, and the same insanitary living conditions prevail. It is true the Negroes must act in Chattanooga, and they must act in all Southern cities, but the Post must remind the Times that the problem can never be solved by the Negroes alone. It is a problem which the white people must help to solve. It will require cooperation of the intelligent people of both races, fortified by a strong and purposeful municipal policy to bring about better results. The Negroes of the Southern cities for the most part live in the miserable shacks which white landlords provide for them, and amid such distressful conditions as white municipal governments permit to exist. And the inevitable consequences of such housing conditions and such disease-breeding conditions as are common are not only disease and death among the Negroes, but such conditions are introduced by Negroes into white homes. When the Times fully appraises the danger to white people of having a large Negro population existing under the appalling conditions prevalent in Southern cities, it will see that it is a white man's problem and that the solution must come as a result of unremitting effort of the whites in co-operation with the enlightened element of the Negroes. There is scarcely a white home in Chattanooga that does not employ Negro servants. They come from insanitary and disease-breeding sections of the city into their white employer's kitchen, they nurse the white babies, they launder the clothing and household linen. They serve in many capacities. How many of these employers are careful to know under what conditions their Negro servants live? Is it not their duty to know and is it not a duty they owe to themselves to do all in their power to ameliorate such conditions as may imperil the health and lives of their own families? Houston has grappled with this great problem through the instrumentality of a scientifically organized and operated Foundation, and the Post feels confident that within another year this city will have its large Negro population living amid more wholesome conditions. Investigation is revealing the necessity for such improvement, and no difficulty is being encountered in obtaining the co-operation of the best people of both races. In other words, Houston is pointing the way and Chattanooga and other Southern cities would be wise to study the plans and purposes of the Houston Foundation, a municipally-supported agency for the bettering of living conditions among all the people.—Houston Post. I believe you will agree with me that education must be the foundation of all future progress of Negroes as of others, was one of the points made by W. H. Holtzillaw, principal of Though dark his skin, and lowly is his station, His hero heart is tried and true as steel; His brawn is bravely given to the nation, His life devoted to the common weal; Where danger lurks to try the boldest spirit, There he with heart and hand is sure to lie To meet the Hydra-headed brute and sear it— A trooper of the fighting Tenth is he. He flinched not when the treacherous foe assailed him, Red-hot on flanks and front with hidden menace; His great, courageous spirit never failed him Though trapped by Montezuma's murreous sons; He fought with valor led by Boyd and Morey, Till back to back beleaguered with his pal.

This being the case, how can it be expected that the Negro of the South would progress along with his more fortunate brother in the North? It is enlightening and encouraging, however, that you have had the foresight to compare the Negro with the Negro. It is the first time that I have ever seen such a thing done. The Negro is always compared with the proud, fortunate Anglo-Saxon, and, of course, to his detriment. Give the Negro of Mississippi the same educational opportunity that the Negro of Connecticut has and during the next five decades they will write a new chapter in the history of the American nation. I do not share in any sense your seeming pessimism in regard to the future of the Negro race, for when we take under consideration the tremendous progress that he has made during his freedom there is little to discourage us. In the language of Frederick Douglass, the greatest Negro your State has produced, I would say: "Judge us not by the heights to which we have attained, but by the depths from which we came." Fifty years ago we were "only in the land of the living." Now we own $9,000,000,000 worth of property and have 40,000 business concerns. The value of farm property alone owned by the Negroes, principally in the South, is, according to the United States census, $1,140,-000,000, and this is increasing at the rate of more than 125 per cent each decade. So much for that. I feel that you are right in your contentions that it was in full recognition of the sentiments of the white race that Booker T. Washington conceived his work, but you seem to overlook the fact that there are at least two distinct classes of white people in the South—one class that has the secure conviction of which you speak (that the Negro cannot really be helped) and another whose eyes have seen and whose ears have heard and whose hearts have been awakened to the fact that Negroes are simply human beings and need human opportunities to make them useful citizens that the country needs. It seems a broad statement to say that Booker T. Washington did not have the backing of the South, unless you mean as a whole. One of these classes of which I have just spoken did back Booker T. Washington to the best of its ability under the circumstances. The other class did him no harm and often wished him well, though they doubted his ability to bring about the changes he sought. But none of them provided him with the ammunition with which to fight his tremendous battles. The first of the Bogoslof group of the Aleutian islands was born 120 years ago. There was a great convulsion in the Behring sea, about 25 miles north of Unalaska, and an island appeared above the surface of the stormy waters. This islet, which rose to a height of nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, was christened Bogoslof by the Russians, who then owned Alaska. It remained solitary until 1882, when another volcanic eruption in the sea was followed by the birth of another island near the first. A fire-fighting car for use in coal mines is built much like the chemical engine of a fire department. A whetstone and an ax, said to be more than 100 years old, were found imbedded in the trunk of a tree which is known to be 115 years old, by Edward Smith of Sandusky, Mich., while cutting the tree down. It is believed that the tree once was hollow near the ground and the articles were placed in the hollow part for safe-keeping, and that the tree grew together. All Austrian and Hungarian newspapers now arrive in Switzerland without their advertisement sections, which are said to have been removed by order of the censors.

Dreamland is the only land where we all enjoy equal rights. BIG RAILROAD STRIKE AVERTED RAINMEN ACCEPT OFFER OF U. S. BOARD OF MEDIATION AND CONCILIATION. AGREE ON ARBITRATION HEARINGS TO AMICABLY ADJUST DIFFERENCES TO BE HELD IN NEW YORK. Western Newspaper Union News Service. New York.—Representatives of the railroad employés announced on the 9th that they would accept the offer of the United States Board of mediation and Conciliation to submit their demands to mediation provided immediate action was taken. Acceptance of mediation by the employés came as a surprise. It had been officially stated by Brotherhood officers that they "would discuss the differences with the railroad managers but that a third party was unnecessary." It is believed the personal pleas of members of the United States board brought about the acceptance by the trainmen. It means at least postponement of the strike that would have called out 400,000 men and tied up 250,000 miles of railway on 225 railroads of the country. Armed with power to call a strike, union heads expressed willingness to discuss the questions involved with railway officials, but would not consent to calling the federal board. Notice to this effect was served upon the railway managers by A. B. Garretson, head of the Conductors' Brotherhood. It brought the situation to a deadlock within an hour after the first of the scheduled conferences between the employers and employés was called. Elisha Lee, spokesman for the railway managers, declared the railroads would insist upon mediation. The meeting then broke up, and the railway managers set out in search of the government mediators. Chairman Lee, in rejecting the Brotherhood's demands and proposing mediation made a statement in part as follows: "After such consideration it is our judgment that the proposals which the men have supported by their vote involve such extraordinary changes in operating methods and such radical revision in established bases of compensation as to make it apparent that there is little probability of our being able to harmonize our differences of opinion unless this result can be brought about through the Federal Board of Mediation and Conciliation, which was created to assist the parties in just such circumstances as now confront us. The national conference committee of the railways is as sincerely anxious as your committee can be to reach some amicable adjustment of the matters involved in the present controversy, but we are convinced that in the end we shall have to invoke the friendly offices of the Federal Board of Mediation." Kansans Name Woman for Congress. Topeka, Kan.—Complete, but unofficial, returns from the First congressional district in Kansas show that Dr. Eva Harding, the first woman ever nominated for United States Congress, has been named for that office on the Democratic ticket. Dr. Harding has received a majority of 608 votes over the Rev. Herbert Corwine, according to returns. ITALIANS CAPTURE GORIZIA. Ten Thousand Austrians Taken Prisoner in Big Offensive. Paris.—A Havas dispatch from Rome says the Italian flag now flies over the defenses of Gorizia. After three days of violent fighting, in which the cavalry was finally brought up to reinforce the infantry, all the defensive works of the city which had resisted the advance of the Italians fell into their hands. London.—Officials here confirm news dispatches to the effect that Gorizia is entirely in the hands of the Italians, who captured 10,000 Austrians. The Russians have pressed nearer to the objective of Lemberg, with advances in Galicia. French and British in Somme region capture additional positions from Germans, and the Turks retake Bitlis and Mush in Armenia. Berlin admits retirement of Austro-Germans behind Ottynia line, under Russian pressure. Vlenna said to be threatened now as consequence of gains made by Italian troops. British continue to drive Turks back from menacing operations against Suez canal. Timberlake Renominated.

Resolutions setting forth the pledges of the Republican party of Colorado follow: The Republicans of Colorado, in state convention assembled, reaffirm their confidence and abiding faith in principles of the Republican party, principles upon which the national founded, principles which withstood the challenge of civil war and principles which, had they been espoused, followed and upheld by the present national Democratic administration, would have commanded the respect of the nation as a world-power and preserved our own national self-respect. We deplore and denounce the stupidity, vacillating and double-dealing administration in its unilateral national bungling handling of international affairs; for its unprovoked invasion of Mexico to compel a private citizen of Haiti to resist the American flag, and yet remain by and protect the lives and property of American citizens lawfully in Mexico, for its unjustifiable extravagance in public expenditure for an excusable increase in the number of officers, employees and its utter disregard of the civil service laws and the fitness of its appointees. It insistently and enthusiastically indorse the action of the Republican national convention in Chicago in June of this year in its nomination of Charles Evans Hughes for the Vice Presidency and Fairbanks for the Vice Presidency and pledge them our unfailing support. We approve, indorse and adopt the platform adopted at the Republican convention in Chicago as a central and complete declaration of Republican principles. We unqualifiedly approve, indorse and commend the brilliant, splendid, economical and constructive administration of the existing Republican state government, in each and all of its factions, who work with a fairs of state with a bankrupt treasury, has paid all deficits, kept appropriations within the source of known revenue, accumulated a surplus in its current result of statewide enforced prohibition, restored law and order, inaugurated a workable workman's compensation act, established an enforced labor dispute, which has greatly aided both employers and employees in the solution of labor disputes and given validity and effectiveness to a languishing public utilities commission. We wledge ourselves to the unqualified and continued enforcement of the prohibition laws of this state and we oppose any and all measures including the proposed initiative "beer amendment" which manner tend to abrogate or render inefficient the provisions of the existing law, and declare that the adoption of the so-called "beer amendment" will render the enforcement of the prescriptive prohibition law practically impossible. We invite all those believing in the protection of American lives and property, in the economical and business affairs, in the governmental affairs, the protection of American labor and industries, the enactment of wise laws and the enforcement of all laws in the fear or favor, to with us in the support of the Republican candidates. Masked Bandits Rob Rancher. Walsonburg.—Officers of Huerfano county, aided by deputy cleriffs and bloodhounds, set out from Trinidad and scoured the country in search of three masked robbers who, shortly after midnight August 9th rode up to the ranch of Francisco Pacheco, four miles south of here, held Pacheco up at the point of a revolver, smashed open a small iron safe with a large hammer and made away with from $4,000 to $5,000 in currency and gold. The robbers were mounted.

NICHOLSON NOMINATED GOVERNOR FOR REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES, The City Auditorium sounded and resounded with such applause last ‘Thursday, when Samuel D, Nicholson won the nomination for Governor for the Republican primaries to be held September 12, that one could not help from having a reminder of the Chicago convention of last June, when amidst the shouts of a mighty throng, Hon. Charles E. Hughes was nominated for the presidency. It was urged by the various speakers that whatever were the differences in individual rivalry for representative positions in the state, the results of the assembly should be adhered to, and there should be unani- wous action in supporting all Republican candidates in the primary elec- tions. Reference was made among the speeches to the Republican nominee for President, the same being greeted with vociferous applauses, and at times the audience rose to their feet, giving full expression of their confidence in the Hughes leadership and the Hughes supporters. Chairman Hamlin con- ducted the proceedings of the assembly with credit to himself and the Re- publican party, and after nomination of other state officers, the meeting was Drought to a close. The Colorado Statesman, the only Republican newspaper that has stood with this GRAND OLD PARTY in the West through storm and calm, for over three decades, and has always advocated devotion and unchanging atti- tude toward the political creed of Republicans, is prepared to support and lend its influence to the colored electors of Colorado first, and all other electors, in proving the wisdom of maintaining the stability of the pillars of our Nation by again entrusting its destiny in the hands of an organization that has proven its intrinsic value and inestimable worth to the American people and the world gt large. Our columns are opened to Republican senti- ment, Republican action and sympathy as well as to expressions from Re- publican converts, and in making this offer, all nominees can rely upon our unconditional support to the Republican party, our motto being SAFETY FIRST AND PRESERVATION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THE BOOZE QUESTION. Whiskey is indeed a great evil—but it is not the only evil. We do nut believe that it is the greatest evil of our times. There is, positively, no greater evil in the present day than “Race Prejudice.” Why is there not some propaganda to “prohibit” it? Race prejudice lays its hand directly upon God Himself, for in the image of God was man created. Man is sacred because he thus bears within him the image of the Creator. Man is one. ‘Whether black, white, brown or yellow, he is still man, bearing the image of the Mighty God, and for one group of men to conspire against another group of their fellowmen, and through “race prejudice’ despoil them of their dignity and sovereignty, because of some temporary disadvantage which they sustain—is simply awful; it is wicked. It is an assault upon the Creator. ‘When we destroy the greater evil, and when men feel in their hearts the sacredness of humanity, then, whether it be alcohol, the sweatshop or gambling or any other evil springing from the dishonor done to manhood, whatever the evil may be, it will the more easily be eliminated. In begin- ning with whiskey we start at the wrong end. We ought to start at “race prejudice,” and this being eliminated and destroyed, so one by one will depart all of the brood of evils connected with the exploitation and de- gradation of manhood. Certainly, as black men, we are interested in the elimination of all evils which oppress our lives. But, first and foremost of all, we are interested in protecting the opening words of the Lord's Prayer, “Our Father.” Let white men who convict themselves of insincerity as often as they look up to the Creator and say “Our Father,” first make their prayer genuine, and then many of the evils of which they complain will almost instantly disappear. No man can have God for his Father who does not have every man of whatever race he may be, for his brother. ‘This is the death of “race prejudice.” The love of the brother, the more helpless he is so much the more necessary is the proof of the love of God. Whiskey is a minor evil when contrasted with the dishonor done to God in hating and degrading any part of His Divine Image.—The Church Ad- vocate. COMPETENT MEN AND WOMEN DESIRABLE. Never was there a time in the history of our race when thoroughly competent men and women were more desired. “Has it never occurred to you when you look around for a qualified, strong, clean, reliable, in- telligent man or woman that this kind of article is very scarce? Much of our trouble is lack of this kind of material. If you will just investigate for yourself and go into examination among the present list of so-called best people you will be surprised. It is strange that our young men and women cannot or do not learn this one valuable lesson—that position, pay and promotion le open to those who will fit themselves thoroughly to take responsible places and fill them with credit and honor. Employments, offices, places, high honors, promotions and noble careers are waiting for men of character and brains right here in Denyer. A man thoroughly competent to do good, rapid, exact, careful work, thor- oughly honest, industrious, punctual and frugal will rarely have to look far for employment. Work and wages will surely find him out, and the laws of recompense and compensation will assuredly obtain in his favor. Men of affairs are constantly looking for the best, not a make-shift The fault of incompetence may not have distressing effect in the case of ordinary labor, but it assumes the proportions of crime when it reaches higher and more responsible positions. A stenographer has no right to expeet employment when his or her work is not reliable and their speed and execution dexterous and correct. A position as private secretary calls tor exacting pains for detail and alertness in anticipating the needs of the employer. A clerical position in office or store or shop calls for thought- fulness and exactness in computation and quick knowledge of figures and of buying and selling and operating cost. A clergyman or political leader has no right even to assume leadership in things spiritual or po- litical when his life is steeped in ignorance and his mind uncultured by previous training, and so on through every profession and duty. The days of paid ignorance and incompetence are doomed in the land, and incompetent and unprepared, struggle as they may, must settle down to defeat. Even if their friends hold them up, those who require their services will object. ‘The young men and women who would stem the current must make the preparation for the successful performance of duty. ‘The age clearly and certainly calls for one hundred per cent men, who will carry their end of the burden, do their share of the world’s work, hold their own in competition, excel in comparison, meet new ex- igencies and win in the struggle. If you cannot meet these serious, try- ing taxing conditions, then do not wonder that you are distanced in the race. Condition of Rural Schools in Many Parts of the Country Is Deplorable By J. L. McBRIEN School Extension Agent, United States Bureau of Education From the day Dr. P. P. Claxton assumed his duties as United States Commissioner of education a nation-wide campaign has been waged for better rural schools. Commissioner Claxton is now in his fifth year of service, and every year during his administration he has insisted on advanced steps being taken by the bureau itself for rural school progress, as well as to urge upon administrative school officers, teachers and patrons throughout the nation the imperative necessity for improving the rural schools. Secretary Lane of the department of the interior, in his annual report for 1915 to the president of the United States, sounds a clarion call for a nation-wide campaign for better rural schools. He urges upon congress the appropriation of $100,000 for two or three years, with which to wage this campaign. ‘For a cabinet officer to take such a bold stand for the long-neglected rural school gives new hope to the friends of rural education throughout the country. In educational opportunity the city boy and girl have privileges far superior to those of the farm boy or girl. In funds, in length of term, in equipment, in buildings, in administration and supervision, in courses of study, in efficiency of the teaching force, and in salaries paid, the superiority of the city schools is eo far above that of the rural schools as to make the situation in many sections of the country deplorable. It has been so desperate in many instances during the past 25 years, when contrasted with the splendid opportunities of the city school, that it is given more times than any other reason by fathers and mothers for mov- ing from the farm to the city. For, as Secretary Lane declares, “An ambitious people will go where education can be had for their children. ‘There is no sense in talking of the charms of country life and the inde- pendence and dignity of producing from the soil if the school at command is no more modern than a wooden plow.” Therefore let every agency of state and nation be organized and put in motion for the purpose of giving the rural schools a square deal. Present World Crisis Must Be Accepted in Terms of Challenge and Not Despair By REV. HARRY EMERSON FOSDICK ‘Of the Union Theological Seminary ‘This year there is one theme above all others that deserves the atten- tion of thoughtful men—the challenge of the present world war to Amer- ican young manhood. ‘There is always one big question to be answered by any person who faces perilous circumstances, and that is whether these circumstances are to be faced in terms of challenge or in terms of despair. There are many things in the present world crisis that leave us in doubt whether to face them in terms of challenge or of despair. There are two solid and substantial relations why we have the right to accept this present crisis in terms of challenge rather than of despair. First, the European war is the worst in the history of the world. The worst kind of quarrel is a family quarrel. ‘Those conditions which offer the greatest opportunities for peace and faith and love offer also the greatest opportunities for conflict and quarrel. ‘The thing that makes the present conflict the worst in history is therefore the fact that the world has become a family. ‘This offers real possibilities for racial unity and international solidarity of ideas. Second, if Christianity has failed to prevent this war then the world must realize the fact that war and Christianity are no longer compatible. And as Christianity conquered in the fight with slavery, so will it even- tually conquer war. Poorhouse as It Exists in the United States Inferno of Our National Life By JOHN LEWIS GILLIN Professor of Sociology, University of Wisconsin ‘The poorhouse is the inferno of our national life, the place we put those we don’t want to chloroform. We buy a farm in a fairly removed district or construct an entirely new building, where we incarcerate those who have no helper save the Lord, and often he can’t do much for them. We put them where we can’t see them or hear them—then let them alone. Poor, helpless males constitute over two-thirds of the inmates of the poorhouses. Women seem able to keep themselves out. f those in tite poorbouses ever seven-slgtiths are defective, OF these the largest single class are the feeble-minded. But changes are taking place. “A growing number of poorhouses are built especially for the purpose, and are equipped with adequate facilities. The poorhouse of the District of Columbia is an example of the finest type. A central building for administration, a fine hospital, a system of cottages in which different classes of poor can be separated, and separate cottages for old couples, make it a place where it is possible to be poor without disgrace. ‘The model almshouse of Bournville, England, near Birmingham, is also remarkable. It consists of little buildings built around a square, with a separate building for administration purposes. Ultimate Union of United States and Mexico Solution of Present Problems By REV. STEWART M. SMITH of Pittsburgh Mexico has extensive area, rich resources, republican form of govern-' ment and great population; Mexico needs chiefly a common feeling of community of interest. For 50 years Uncle Sam, as counselor and friend, has sought to be of service in the attempt to solidify the disunited people. Despite this light from the north, Mexico is today a land of shadows and of death. | When the time comes that mutual interests shall demand a union more vital than that secured by treaties, the liberty-loving Mexican people will rejoice to become capable of upholding, with us, the light of our insti- tutions. Our interests are mutual, our territories contiguous. Therefore, in the name of humanity and without violation of any principle of liberty or justice sacred to either country, a final union showd be effected. | ——THE——= COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the _ Entire West A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. } THE | | COLORADO | ‘ | STATESMAN | Pssst enens be panenarnas as aaeecra] : ! .

BEAUTY OF HOME GROUNDS Urpin aeynon The immediate grounds about the farm or home dwelling can be made beautiful and sanitary as few other places can. ‘The home grounds should be ample, as large as is consistent with the size of the dwelling, and much larger than most farm home grounds are, An acre is not too much. Some may think’that an acre of ground is too much to waste on a simple dooryard, but it must be remembered that this part of the farm is where the farmer and his family live and spend a great- er part of their time, and that the bet- ter the home grounds the better will be the life of the family. It is a wrongestimate of life and property to be forever making money to enlarge the farm in area, buying extra tracts of land for future use, and not improve and make the best of the little spot where the wife and children must spend nearly all of the best.part of life. Some look forward to and prepare too much pleasure to come and do not expend any means on making the pres- ent the very best that it can be. ‘They let the home grounds and surround- ings remain shabby and unimproved, expending the extra money on prop- erty to be handed down to children, or putting it In the bank. This is wrong when there is any neglect in home improvement. If the children need help, by all means they need it now while they are helpless more than when they grow up and will be able to fully eare for themselves, perhaps mnch better than’ we’ ever shall be able to care for them, ‘They need the comforts, healthful- ness and beautifying Influences of good home and surroundings in order to make them healthy, strong, beauti- ful and good. These are infinitely bet- ter than inherited real estate, per- sonal property or money. The child whose home life Is perfect for physical and mental development will go out into the world with ® rich heritage. If the home is beautiful and attractive the child when grown older will love to come back to visit the par- ents who made the home. ‘The grounds surrounding the farm dwelling should be well drained and graded to suit the location. ‘The main open part of the space should be a Inwn of good grass and be kept mown low at all times, so that air and sun- light may purify the soil. ‘The lawn is for use, to walk and play on, and should be laid out with that in view. “Keep off the grass” may be all right for city parks, but the home lawn is a green-carpeted out- door floor for everyday use. Abundance of flowers, shrubs and trees are essentials for completing the picture, but flowers and shrubs must be massed in clumps and borders along the sides, and the trees must be grouped fn one place, preferably the rear or somewhat removed from one side of the dwelling. Under the trees, in the cool, shady part of the grounds, a children’s play- house or rustic, open structure is a good place for rest and play for both young and old. We can never get too much of the open alr, even though we live in the country; and such a cov- ered place under the trees makes a fine nook in which to read or take a nap and fully enjoy the sweets of out: door life. Such a playhouse is dear to the hearts of children, and they will spend many happy hours each day there, when, if no such provision were made, they would be in places in which we would not want them. For wet weather concrete walks are comfortable and economical. ‘They ars cheaply and easily made. ‘They need not necessarily be wide, but there should be enough of them so that all outbuildings and other much-frequent- ed places can be reached without walking on the wet ground: Walks a foot wide are much better than none, and such can be made at a trifling cost. ‘The barn and entire group of farm buildings, together with the grounds they occupy, may be made to har- monize in a general way by proper construction, arrangement and paint- ing. ‘The ground about the barn and other feed and stock buildings, which for convenience are located near the dwelling, may, and should be, as neat and clean as the home grounds proper, ‘This is both good farm management and a mark of good taste and char- acter on the part of the farmer. Good fences around all the home grounds and lots are a necessary con- venience, and keeping them in good repair adds to the neatness and beauty of the picture as a whole. A four-room cottage designed after our own ideas, in a garden made with our own hands, is better than a ten- room flat designed by the greatest ar- chitect and set on top of a twelye- story building in a noisy city. CULTURE GF HARDY ANNUALS By LIMA R. ROSE. Seeds of hardy annuals should be sown early, in shallow boxes or pots and placed in a warm window, or a hotbed. A second sowing ought to be made from two to four weeks after for a succession, as well as to pro- vide against failure the first time. The most convenient receptacle for seed is a shallow box from two to three inches deep and of any con- venient size. ‘The best soll for all of the smaller kinds is a very fine, rich, sandy loam. ‘The very best soil is that taken from ‘old hotbeds, or from old pasture land, piled up in sods and allowed to rot for two or three years and then mixed with sand and a little old stable ma. nure. Give the tiny plants plenty of air and moisture, yet not too much water, or they will “damp off.” Get pots two inches or more in diameter and plant the young seedlings along the edges of the pots, so that as soon as the ground is warm enought they can be easily turned out and planted singly, as by that time they will have good roots. Do not cover seeds too deeply. This is a common and disastrous mistake. LAWNS Start new lawns by seeding and sod: ding. Old lawns should be well rake and rolled. Grass will start with warm weather. A sprinkling of prepared stable or sheep manure will be bene- ficial to old lawns. A light sprinkling 6f ground bone fs also good. FARMER 10 PROFIT BY NEW LOAN ACT Measure Designed to Give Him Money on Long Time and at Low Rate. 31G BANK SYSTEM CREATED Borrowers to Form Local Associations and Share in Earnings From the Operation of the Plan. eRe Re ae ai onc ere ee hee ‘The farmers of the United States are to be the chief beneficiaries of the vederal Farm Loan Act, through which Uncle Sam is enubled, by ‘means of « rural credit system, to Assist agriculturists to borrow money at low rates of interest for the pur- pose of buying and improving land, ‘This act, which is now a law, is the result of years of agitation ind study, It is designed not only to enable farmers to borrow money at a ‘ow rate of interest but to make it possible for them to secure these loans for relatively long periods of time and on such conditions that loans can be repaid in annual or semiannual installments which will be less in many cases than the interest that they are now required to pay on sim- ilar loans. To attain this object, two farm- mortgage systems are provided: Virst, a system operating through joint-stock land banks, To attract money to the farm loan field, the act provides a method where- by those who have money to lend can find safe investments in the form of debentures or bonds, of small and large denominations, issued by the banks and based on the security of mortgages on farm lands. ‘These two systems are to be under the general supervision of a Federal Warm Loan board in the treasury de- partment, composed of the secretary of the treasury, as chairman ex-officio, and four members appointed by the president. ‘This board has authority to appoint appraisers, examiners, and registrars, who will be public officials. Federal Land Bank System. Under the federal land bank system the act provides for federal land banks which make loans, for the first 12 months, exclusively’ through local national farm loan associations com- posed of borrowers. ‘These associa- tions shall be shareholders in the banks and In that way the members, ‘who are the borrowers, will share in the profits of the bank. The money for the loans {s to come partly from the capital of the banks and partly from the sale by the banks of bonds secured by first mortgages on farm lands. ‘The act defines strictly the Purposes for, and the conditions un- der, which loans are to be made, and requires that the rate of interest charged shall not exceed 6 per cent per annum. ‘The United States shall be divided into 12 farm-loan districts, and a fed- eral land bank with a subscribed cap- ital of not less than $750,000, exch share $5, shall be established in each district. Bach federal land bank may establish branches in its district. Within 30 days after the capital stock is offered for sale it may be purchased at par by anyone. Thereafter, the Stock remaining unsold shall be bought by the secretary of the treas- ury for the United States. It is pro- vided, however, that the government shall not receive any dividends on Its stock. Ultimately, it is intended that all the stock in the banks shall be owned by the associations of bor- rowers, and provision, therefore, is made in the law for transferring the original stock at par to these assocl- ations. Farm Loan Associations. ‘The act provides for the creation of local national farm loan associ- ations through which it is contem- plated that the federal land banks shall make their loans, In the event that a local loan association is not formed in any locality within a year, the Federal Farm Loan board may au- thorize a federal land bank to make loans on farm land through approved agents. Ten or more persons who own and cultivate farm land qualified as security for a mortgage loan under the act, or who are about to own and cultivate such land, may form such hn association, provided the aggregate of the loans desired by the member- ship is not less than $20,000. Each member must take stock In his asso- ciation to an amount equivalent to 5 per cent of the amount he wishes to borrow. ‘This stock the association holds in trust as security for the member's Individual loan, ‘The asso- ciation, in turn, when applying for money from the bank, must subscribe for stock in the bank to an amount equivalent to 5 per cent of the sum it wants to obtain for its members, This stock is held in trust by the bank as security for the loans It makes through the association, If a prospective borrower has no money with which to pay for his association stock, he may borrow the price of that stock as a part of the loan on his farm land.

This ap- plication blank and other necessary papers will then be referred to a loan committee of the association which must appraise the property offered as security. Such application as ts ap- proved by the loan committee is then forwarded to the Federal land bank and must be investigated and report- ed on by a salaried appraiser of the bank before the loan is granted. This appraiser is required to investigate the solvency and character of the pro- spective borrower as well as the value of his land. When a loan is granted the amount is forwarded to the bor- rower through the loan association, Conditions Are Imposed. The act specifically defines the pur- Voses for which loans may be ob- tained, These are: “(a) To provide for the purchase of land for agricultural uses. “(b) To provide for the purchase of equipment, fertilizers and live stock necessary for the proper and reason- able operation of the mortgaged farm; the term ‘equipment’ to be defined by the Federal Farm Loan board. “(e) To provide buildings and for the improvement of farm lands; the term ‘improvement’ to be defined by the Federal Farm Loan board. “(a) To Uquidate indebtedness of the owner of the land mortgaged, ex- isting at the time of the organization of the first national farm loan asso- ciation established in or for the coun- ty in which the land mortgaged Is sit- uated, or indebtedness subsequently incurred for one of the purposes men- tioned in this section.” Loans may be made only on first mortgages on farm land. Only those who own and cultivate farm land or are about to own and cultivate such land are entitled to borrow. No individual can borrow more than $10,000 or less than $100. No loan may be made for more than 50 per cent of the value of the land mortgaged and 20 per cent of the val- ue of the permanent insured improve- ments upon It. ‘The loan must run for not less than five and not more than forty years, Every mortgage must provide for the repayment of the loan under an amortization plan by means of a fixed number of annual or semiannual in- stallments sufficient to meet all Inter- est and pay off the debt by the end of the term of the loan. The install- ments required will be those pub- lished in amortization tables to be prepared by the Farm Loan board, ‘The bank Is given power to protect itself In case of default by recalling the loan in whole or in part or taking other necessary action. Interest Rate Restricted. No federal land bank is permitted to charge more than 6 per cent per annum on its farm mortgage loans, and in no case shall the interest charged on farm mortgages exceed by more than 1 per cent the rate paid on the last issue of bonds, For example, if the bank pays only 4 per cent on an Issue of bonds, it cannot charge more than 5 per cent for the next farm loans it makes. Out of this margin of not to exceed 1 per cent, together with such amounts as it can earn on Its paid-in cash cap- Ital, the bank must set aside certain reserves and meet all its expenses.

Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Revenue derived by the state and counties through the l- censing of automobiles, motorcycles and chauffeurs in the first six months of 1916 totals $160,255, an increase over the same period of last year of approximately $50,000. The sixty- three counties in the state receive 50 per cent, after deduction of expense, such as purchase of automobile tags, expressage and other items, The por- tion awarded the counties is $80,000, distributed according to the amount of revenue each produced. The revenue is collected on UL censing 40,191 motor vehicles, 4,985 chauffeurs and 4,093 motorcycles. Of the total, automobile owners in Den- ver paid the secretary of state $48, 171, In Denver there are 9,979 motor cars subject to the license fee at vari- ous rates, according to horse power. From three sources — inheritance taxation, fees of liquor affidavits and the licensing of motor yehicles—the state in six months this year received $800,000. ‘The inheritance tax depart. ment alone, in charge of Leslie 5. Hubbard, contributed $712,000. From liquor affidavits a total revenue of ap- proximately $12,000 was derived and the $80,000 received by the state from motorcar owners brings the to- tal to $800,000. Out’of the entire sum assessed against automobile owners, those in six counties contributed $98,933, of which the state and the counties each receive 50 per cent. The figures of the secretary of state show that in 1915 only 27,000 cars were owned in Colorado, That indicates that in six months of 1916 there were 3,000 more machines put in service in the state. ‘The figures from Weld, Larimer and Jefferson counties show the extensive use to which automobiles are being put in the farming communities. Littleton Asks Aid for Federal Road. The State Highway Commission, the city of Littleton and Arapahoe county plan to co-operate to obtain from the United States the first al- lotment of the big post roads’ appro- priation. The plan which is expected to meet the approval of the United States is to construct a cement road- way from the end of the present ce- ment road near Overland park through Littleton, about 3.9 miles. The road, it is figured, would cost about 356,000 to complete as planned. Littleton would give $2,000 and Arapa- hoe county between $4,000 and $5, 000. Company A Mustered in at Golden.

New Device Would Permit Vote of House to Be Taken in One Second Device for recording vote in House. Left to right, Mr. Bobroff, the inventor, Representatives Britten of Illinois, McArthur of Oregon and Cara-way of Arkansas, Jerry South, Clerk of the House, and Representative Jaco-way of Arkansas. Many members of the house of representatives have been giving considerable time to a study of a voting device which B. L. Bobroff, a Milwaukee inventor, proposes to install in the house, and which, he claims, will make it possible to record the vote of the house within one second, if all the members vote at one time. It now takes 40 minutes to call the roll in the house, and during the Sixty-second congress the calling of 368 rolls consumed more than fifty legislative days. By the device under consideration the vote of the members is recorded and tabulated on an immense board at the back of the speaker's desk. A member votes merely by pressing a button on his desk. An electric light, indicating "yea," "nay," or "present," flashes on the board opposite the member's name and remains there until the vote is completed. As the voting progresses a tabulation is shown and the moment the count is complete the totals are in plain view and a photo- SILVER COINS TO BEAR NEW DESIGNS Uncle Sam Will Make Changes in Half Dollars, Quarter Dollars and Dimes. Colinage of Models in Use For the Past Quarter of a Century Will Be Discontinued Within the Next Year. Comparatively few more half dollars, quarter dollars and dimes bearing the present designs of these coins are to be put into circulation by Uncle Sam. Colinage of these designs will be discontinued within a year. In the meantime coins of these denominations bearing new designs will begin to make their appearance and many of them probably will be in circulation within the next few months. This means the passing of designs which have been in use for a quarter of a century, as under the laws governing the colinage of the United States, designs and devices on any coins may not be changed within 25 years after their adoption. The emblems now in use on the half dollar, quarter dollar and dime were adopted in 1891. In preparing to adopt new designs several sculptors were commissioned to submit sets of sketch models. From more than 50 of these models Secretary McAdoo and Director of the Mint Woolley selected three sets. In this a radical departure has been made, as heretofore the obverse side of the half dollar, quarter and dime have always carried the same design, an emblem symbolic of Liberty, and the reverse of the half dollar and quarter dollar an eagle of the same design. Only the reverse of the dime has been different. Half Dollar Not Popular. Director Woolley suggested varying the designs in order that the half dollar might be given more individuality and thus restore its waning popularity, Strange to say, it has practically fallen into disuse. The design of the half dollar bears a full length figure of Liberty, the folds of the Stars and Stripes flying to the breezes as a background, progressing in full stride toward the dawn of a new day, carrying branches of laurel and oak, symbolical of civil and military glory. The hand of the figure is outstretched in bestowal of the spirit of Liberty. The reverse of the half dollar shows an eagle, perched high upon a mountain crag, his wing unfolded, fearless in spirit and conscious of his power. Springing from a rift in the rock is a sapling of mountain pine, symbolical of America. The design of the twenty-five cent piece is intended to typify, in a measure, the awakening interest of the country to its own protection. The law specifies that on the obverse of the graphic record of the vote is presented to the clerk. Representative Howard of Georgia has introduced a bill appropriating $125,000 for the installation of the machine, but it is regarded as unlikely that the house will buy the device. The reason for this, it is said, is that the members, having 40 minutes in which to reach the floor when a roll call is ordered, are not compelled now to remain on the floor, or even at the capital, as they can reach the house from any part of the city in time to vote if a roll call is ordered. Advocates of the present system claim that only a very few of the congressman's duties are concerned with transactions on the floor, and that much of his time is taken up with attending to business of his constituents either in his office or in the various government departments. Consequently many congressmen are rarely seen on the floor of the house, except when a roll call is being taken. coin not only the word "Liberty," but a representation of Liberty shall be shown. In the new design Liberty is shown as a full length figure, front view, with head turned toward the left, stepping forward to the gateway of the country, and on the wall are inscribed the words "In God We Trust," which words also appear on the new half dollar mentioned. The left arm of the figure of Liberty is upraised, bearing the shield in the attitude of protection, from which the covering is being drawn. The right hand bears the olive branch of peace. On the field above the head is inscribed the word "Liberty," and on the step under her feet, "1916." Law Requires Eagle. The reverse of this coin necessitates by law a representation of the American eagle and is here shown in full flight with wings extended, sweeping across the coin. Inscription "United States of America" and "E Pluribus Unum," and "Quarter Dollar" below. Connecting the lettering above on the outer circle are olive branches with ribbon that is stirred by the breeze as the bird files. The design of the dime, owing to the smallness of the coin, has been held quite simple. The obverse shows a head of Liberty with winged cap. The head is firm and simple in form, the profile forceful. The reverse shows a design of the bundle of rods, with battle ax, known as "fasces," and symbolical of Unity, wherein lies the nation's strength. Surrounding the fasces is a full foliated branch of olive, symbolical of peace. For the first time the words "In God We Trust" are to appear on the dime. MORE PAINT MADE IN U. S. Output Increases 16.9 Per Cent In Five Years, Although Number of Factories Shows Decrease. There were fewer paint and varnish manufacturing plants in the United States in 1914 than there were five years before, but, the value of the output of the smaller number of plants was 16.9 per cent greater than the value of the output in 1900, according to Uncle Sam. A report of the census bureau on the industry shows that there were 855 establishments engaged in the manufacture of paints and varnishes in 1914, and that the total products of these plants for the year were valued at $149,049,820. At the census of 1909 there were reported 863 establishments, with products valued at $17,749,944. Iowa Coal Output Grows The coal production of Iowa in 1915, according to figures made public by the United States geological survey and the geological survey of Iowa, amounted to 7,614,143 short tons, valued at $13,577,-608, an increase of 163,121 tons, and $213,538 in value. It was exceeded in only two previous years, 1909 and 1910. Seek OII in Siberia The Standard Oil company will explore for oil in Siberia, where there are indications of its presence.

Hayes, who is supervising principal in a number of the Indianapolis colored schools, and who for several years has kept closely in touch with various classes that have entered high school, said that the decrease in the number of graduates this year, as compared with last, did not indicate that the numbers who remain in high school for any appreciable time have decreased, but he thinks this condition due to the personnel of certain classes that enter, and the homes represented in any particular class of uates from the public schools, he believed, should be larger. "There is too much migration on the part of the colored parents," he said. "About 350 children enter the first grades in the colored schools each year, while only about 50 per cent of the number complete the eighth grade, and on an average about 1 per cent of the number complete high school. The majority of losses are by those children whose parents leave the city. "In a large measure the parents are responsible for the comparatively small numbers who reach the last year of high school. They do not seem to realize how inefficient and unprepared their children are to meet the responsibilities of life with only an eighth grade education. The average child with ability to complete the eighth grade is capable of taking the high school course and should by all means be encouraged to do so." Among those whose high school record during the last year is worthy of special mention are Harry Campbell, Lucile Stokes, Madge Jones, Cubena McClure, Ethel Mayes, Loriana Thomas, Spaulding Pritchett, Ruth Johnston, Mildred Bess, Willard Rice, Murray Atkins, Lucile Atkins, Delight Shelton, Henrietta Herod, Ida Wilson, Mary Smoot, Jeanette Bruen, Blanch Booth, Ruth Sissie, Flossie Glover and Nellie Reeves. Of this number several have failed in a subject, but there has been in most cases excusable reason other than lack of ability. One influence to be considered in the educational advancement in this city has its foundation in industrial conditions. There was a time in the history of the city when any boy could run an elevator, deliver packages, shine shoes, sweep floors, look after the pantry, cook or wait table, and any girl could make beds, wash dishes, take care of the baby and cook. This is not true today. While many people found in these avenues of labor have little or no education, it is to be noted that for most part such persons are older people who held these places when it was not expected of them that they should do more than "make a mark after their name," as evidence that they were uneducated to the extent of writing their signatures. But as these places gradually fall to the younger generation, the employer is demanding at least a common school education, hence the boys who complete the public schools and who can take with them the recommendations of their teachers, together with their diplomas, as evidence of their worth, have every advantage over the boy who "quits school" early to go to work. In many cases the cook is housekeeper and must have the necessary intelligence required to manage economically and promote the general health and happiness of the family. Instances are not unusual among colored employees where the porter has become shipping clerk. The fact that The trustees of the Tuskegee institute certainly made no mistake in the selection of Maj. Robert R. Moton as principal to succeed the late Doctor Washington. Major Moton is a man of rare ability and intelligence, and his gift of organization and administration was amply tested by 25 years' work at Hampton. In this regard, it may be said with entire respect to the memory of Doctor Washington, he is even more completely qualified than his predecessor. No one familiar with his achievement at Hampton can fail to recognize his sound judgment, his tact and resourcefulness, his influence over the pupils, and his high conception of the large alms of Hampton, which are in substance those of Tuskegee as well. We should say that he is now the strongest leader of his race an better equipped than any other to guide it in the right path. He has one peculiar advantage. He is a full-blood Negro, and the record of his life is in itself a source of encouragement and inspiration to the humblest of his race.

The continuation schools, especially those for the colored children, have been the means of encouraging many children to remain in school. Where pupils fail in the last term, with few exceptions they enter the summer school and to prepare for their grade in September, and in many instances they are successful, where on the other hand, without this chance, they often become discouraged and give up, the same thing being true of both high school and grammar pupils. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF There was a notable reduction in the age of the pupils graduating from the grammar schools this year, a fact that is significant for several reasons. The compulsory educational laws of the state do not apply to children under seven years, and in too many instances parents do not realize it to their own interest and the child's to start first grade children to school at five and a half where there is room for them, and at six by all means. In many cases the irregularity of attendance on the part of these pupils is one of the problems of first-grade teachers. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Out of the stories that straggled across the desert from dust-caked lips and thirst-burst tongues comes a little interlude, told with all the insuance of a raconteur, of a Negro trooper who paused in the trek to pour a bit of water on the tongue of a horse he knew was dying. Not that the act would help the horse, and certainly not that it would help the trooper in his hike toward safety. But the record says the trooper saw in the eyes of the horse that look that animals give and the inference is that he went on, inspired, to do even better things, if that be possible. There is no purpose in this comment to hint that better things than that might be in the day's work. If prompt answer were demanded it might be said better things were not in the course of human events. There is, however, a reminder of the days of 1898, which these days make ever present, a light on the Negro troop character that makes understandable the men who go forward singling ragtime as an answer to that other chorus the machine guns sing. The other story has to do with the heroic Lawton, and it is a story he told with that appreciation only such as he could show. The general saw one Negro soldier helping on his shoulder another, injured, along the march. The stout one carried the guns and the accoutrements of both in addition to the wounded brother, but he carried also a dog that was once the mascot of the company and the wounded brother's particular pet. When the general asked why the soldier should burden himself with the animal, the soldier answered: "Why the poor thing's tired." Strange folks, these soldiers of the Negro troop. They love their horses and their dogs to an unconscionable degree, and yet, as Captain Morey has recorded, they "fight like hell."

Don't let us use fool ourselves, but keep in mind the fact that the man who owns his own home and cultivates his land, and lives a decent, self-respecting useful life, is no problem anywhere. We talk about the 'color line.' You know and I know that the blackest man in Alabama or Mississippi, or Africa, or anywhere else, who puts the same amount of skill and energy into his farming, gets as large returns for his labor as the whitest Anglo-Saxon. . . . I believe that, unless a democracy is a failure and Christianity is a mockery, it is entirely feasible and practicable for the black and white races of America to develop side by side, in peace, in harmony, and in mutual helpfulness each toward the other, living together as 'brothers in Christ without being brothers in law,' each making its own contribution to the wealth and culture of our beloved country."—New York Times.

They have had a tremendous vogue and it is only by oddities in drapery or coloring or cut that any newcomer among them can hope for a second glance. But designers are resourceful and they have seen to it that their last models in taffeta embody clever new touches to compel us to admire and envy their originality. The gown pictured above manages to confine its fullness at the waist by means of narrow plaits laid close together. At the right of the back a cascade drapery is placed made of caspied silk, over a long hanging loop of a width of it. The wide girdle, ornamented with a broad stripe of embroidery, is finished with a deep fringe on the blas end. This hangs at the left, balancing the drapery at the 5 Late Summer Hats and Summer Furs Late summer hats hold a premonition of fall and winter, for they are of felt and velvet materials, which belong to cold weather headwear. Fashion is done with straw hats and anticipates the coming of a new season in those newly arrived sports hats of bright, gay-colored feits and in the picturesque black velvet dress hats which we have learned to expect in August, when they are not due until October. But these are really to be classed as between-seasons millinery, and with the incoming of cold weather their day is done, for they are destined to be replaced by the more formal dress hats of midwinter. Soft and bright-colored felts for sports and street wear, especially those made in what are known as "sweater" colors, seem destined for a long-lived popularity. To start with, they have beauty to recommend them, and then the devotee of outdoor sports is likely to dwell in summery climes during a great part of the year. In the accompanying illustration a new felt sailor is shown, having the T THE MUSICAL THEATER OF THE TOWN OF NEW YORK right. The skeleton waist of silk is worn over an underbodice and sleeves of crepe. The cape collar is of crepe also. A pretty onepiece of taffeta is made in one piece with the full blouse and straight skirt shirred over a narrow band at the waistline. It fastens at the front with three buttoned straps above the waistline and two below. The sleeves are cut in the regular fashion and widen toward the band, where they are shirred over a band, forming a hanging puff at the elbow. Deep saddlebag pockets are shirred to the skirt at each side. Long rows of small silk-covered buttons are set on the side seams of the skirt at the center of the pockets. They outline the collar, which opens in a "V" at the front and flares outward at the sides and back. It is made of the taffeta. These small buttons are set in the bodice, in close rows, where the sleeves are let in. The bottom of the skirt is trimmed with a band covered with shirred silk. J entire top covered with a big spider web made of chenille. A similar model is made of gold-colored felt with wheels of chenille, in several bright hues, applied about the crown. The scarf of ermine bordered with smoke-gray fox, shown in the picture, is a favored bit of neckwear for cool evenings. The best-liked fur for summer wear remains a scarf made of the pelt of the white fox, or of some other skin that looks like it. One of these is pictured, worn with the very wide-brimmed sailor of black velvet, which foreshadows the coming of many wide-brimmed hats for fall and winter. Its sole trimming is a gorgeous dragon fly with body of irridescent beads and wings of gauze. He peers from the brim-edge—and will not depart, for, along with other bright-winged bugs, he has taken his position somewhere near the head of beautiful woman, to remain all winter as the most cherished of millinery ornaments. Much attention to the tresses is paid these days. To wear the smart hats one's hats must be fashionably arranged J. R. CONTEE Pres. and Mgr.
