INSULTED COLORED GIRLS; GIVEN A $300 FINE Boston, Mass.—The following article, published in the Boston Traveler one of the largest dailies in the "Hub" city, under the heading of "Southern Gem' Finds Chivalry Code Differs Here," give an idea of why Boston is liked by so many colored people: Oma Houghton, who left his native North Carolina two weeks ago to seek his fortune in Boston, made a discovery last night. Houghton left a West End moving picture theatre when the snow was over and jostled Miss Florence Brown and Miss Edith Terry of Eliver street, Cambridge. Both young women are colored and good looking. Houghton said: "Hello, niggers," and when they ignored him repeated the salutation and then kicked at one of the girls. A white man grabbed Houghton by the scruff of the neck at this and threw him into the street for an officer to pick up. Miss Brown, in telling Judge Parmeter of it in the police court today, said that Houghton seemed surprised as he picked himself up and remarked: "Why, down South where I came from they'd have shaken hands with DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4 1916 state Hist & Nat Hist Biosci State House ckendo lorad for District J ford, for DENVER, COLORADO, SAT me for that." Houghton denied having kicked at the young woman. The two had jostled him, he said, and he had jostled back. He was held JOHN W. GILLESPIE Republican Candidate for District Attorney. JOHN W. GILLESPIE, whom the electors of Denver will cause to succeed the present office holder by giving him a large plurality over his opponents for District Attorney in the Second Judicial District. The numerous expressions from a majority of voters on Mr. Gillespie's ability and fitness for this important office have filled his supporters with an inspiration to go into the field next Tuesday, November 7, with a determination not only to elect him but to set a record in Denver's political history as having polled the largest number of votes than any candidate preceding him. In administering the law, Mr. Gillespie resolves to help materially to reduce crime in our city and county by bring- M. H. ing every offender to justice, and at the same time recommending that provision be made to assist the offender to reform. His humanitarian spirit, his experience in dealing with criminals, his knowledge of the good results from the education of the masses, place him in a position to give entire satisfaction to the people of Denver, and conduct the office with credit to the profession and dignity to the state. Following Mr. Gillespie's career for the number of years the Colorado Statesman has known him, it is earnestly hoped that the Colored voters who possess a right conception of a man of honesty of purpose, void of racial prejudice, and who stood by us when in the position of Chairman of the Education Board of this city, will use every influence to insure his election. Mark your ballot thus: For District Attorney— JOHN W. GILLESPIE X M. JUDGE WILLIAM H. GABBERT candidate for re-election to State Supreme Court whom the Colorado Statesman is supporting and is urging all its subscribers as well as every voter to re-elect, as in the position of a member of the highest court of the state he haa dispensed the law fearlessly and impartially to the entire satisfaction of the people. His experience in the legal profession coupled with his decisions in very important questions affecting the welfare of the State serves the best interests of the community, and Colorado will hail with delight his return to this honorable legal body which rises above party influence.

George A. Carlson [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. GOVERNOR GEORGE A. CARLSON, Republican candidate for re-election next Tuesday, November 7, whom the people of Colorado will delight to honor a second time, having proven during the present administration A FOEMAN WORTHY OF HIS STEEL. His ability to enact just laws free from discrimination; his manliness in gathering to his support the citizens of Colorado who stand for clean, upright government, unnarrished by the influence of might, or unblemished by the subtlety of immoral agencies; his depth of reasoning in bringing about a better condition in the industrial life of our state; his general grasp of the things that contribute to an efficient government that improves from every angle the citizenry of the state—these qualities in the aggregate especially fit him for the position that is now offered him by the majority of the people whose faith have been made stronger by the deeds he has accomplished for all Coloradoans. Every fair-minded, broad-shouldered citizen of this state who believes in merit and who practically knows the improvement and development of this—one of the best habitations on the globe—and one of the best governed states of the Union, should go with the COLORADO STATESMAN and its huge crowd Tuesday, early to the polls, and show their appreciation and gratitude in voting for the return of a man WHOSE LIGHT STILL SHINES BEFORE ALL MEN, and who does not work under cover. Mark your ballot thus: For Governor— GEORGE A. CARLSON X qualify him for this responsible position of STATE AUDITOR, and the people of Colorado, having every assurance of guaranteed satisfaction from the high recommendation with which he comes, will return him by a large majority thereby scoring another success for the Republican Party. Go to the polls and mark your ballot thus: State Auditor—Olie Thorson X HANAH ELIAS LODGES IN HOUSE SHE OWNED New York. —It is alleged that Hannah Elias, who a short while since possessed some $900,000 in realty, stocks and bonds, given to her by the late John R. Platt, is no longer owner of the large and handsome house at 236 Cen- NO 12. tral Park West, where she lives. The report is that she relinquished title to this house to satisfy a claim for money loaned her by one Lubetkin, a lawyer. She maintains her residence ni the house, however, though it is reported that she is living in a furnished room. She owns her automobile, a limousine, which is run by a white chauffeur, and continues to ride in the car through Central Park, though her face is covered with two heavy veils. A determined court fight, instituted to take from the colored woman her money given her by her wealthy admirer, was successful; but the depreciation of realty values during the past ten years has had much to do with Mrs. Elias' financial reverses. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR- EIGN COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE.

DEMOCRATS INIMICAL TO INDUSTRIAL PEACE —SAYS GOVERNOR CARLSON FLANKS ENEMY, EX- POSING RECORD OF MISRULE AND RUIN. PENETRATES ENTIRE STATE DEMOCRATS SEEK IN VAIN FOR WEAK SPOT IN REPUBLI CICAN DEFENSE. Denver, Colo., Oct. 31.—Charging that the Democratic party in the state and nation was inimical to industrial peace, George A. Carlson, Republican candidate for re-election as governor, put in the busiest period of his campaign last week. He laid bare the attitude of the Democratic party on prohibition, declaring that its "alleged conversion is an indictment of its position two years ago." Carlson's whirlwind campaign has carried him to every corner of the state. He has used train, auto and wagon, speaking morning, noon and night. Last week thousands heard his comparison of the peaceful and prosperous record of two years of Republicanism in the state with the industrial warfare that has written in letters of blood the history of his Democratic predecessors. His two-fisted attack has driven the Democrats to the ropes, gasping for breath. As a rule, the administration is on the defensive in a campaign. This year the rule is reversed. The Democrats have sought without avail for a weak spot in the Republican defenses. Meanwhile Carlson has turned his guns on the record of misrule and ruin left by previous Democratic administrations. Republican and Democratic records on industrial conditions and prohibition are written too boldly to be misconstrued. Carlson has needed only the plain facts for ammunition, and he has been using these to excellent effect, as the Democrats can testify. Here are some extracts taken from recent speeches delivered by the governor: "When Democracy took charge at the close of the Buchtel administration eight years ago, it found our state in a condition of industrial peace. Labor was employed; working men and their bosses and superintendents were companions and friends. There was no strife, no strikes, no turmoll anywhere. Contemporaneous with their assumption of control, high state officials began sowing seeds of distrust and dissension between worker and employer. Soon after, a great coal strike broke in the northern fields. "Four years ago Democracy assumed control of the government of the entire nation. Democratic congressional investigating committees and federal boards began spreading the doctrine nation wide that the employer was the natural enemy of the working man. Soon after, rebellion broke out in West Virginia, in Michigan, in Colorado, then in Arkansas, and finally in Arizona. More lives have been lost and more property destroyed due to internal disturbance in the last four years than any time since the beginning of this nation, except during the Civil War. "Disputes and strikes may naturally occur in the orderly evolution of our industrial development. But I maintain that there is every difference between disputes and strikes and conditions such as we have had in the last four years." "Colorado labor, what did this state Democracy do for you, except to teach you to hate your employer with bitterness and intensity? What did it do for you except to permit many of your members to meet violent deaths? What did it do for you, Colorado coal miners, except to heap misery and hunger and want upon your families and finally shrink your payroll five or six million dollars a year? Property owners, what did Democracy do for you except to permit the burning and dynamiting of your buildings and plants, to place your lives in peril, to undermine your business and blast your reputation? Colorado taxpayer, what did Democracy do for you except to throw a useless load of over a thousand dollars a day for every day in the long, last two years that it was in, upon your already overburdened shoulders? Good citizens, what did it do for you except to make you think that civilization had turned back 500 years, and that the weapons of savagery and barbarism were still of absolute necessity in this Christian and civilized state? "The doctrine that worker and employer are natural enemies and necessarily antagonistic must inevitably develop turmoil and insurrection. The Republican party of this state declares that doctrine to be absolutely false. The Republican party of this state maintains that the truer interests of labor and capital are identical and not antagonistic. The Republican party of this state seeks to promote the mutuality and harmony of interests of these great forces rather than their antagonism. The Republican party of this state maintains that stability is the first indispensable of government, and that the whole power of government shall be used if necessary to enforce every right of labor and to conserve and protect every dollar invested in legitimate and productive industry. "Industrial peace and governmental stability did not come as a mere matter of chance, contemporaneous with the advent of the control of the Republican party in Colorado. It was a logical result which necessarily followed from a direct cause. The people of Colorado will not oust a party from control which found a state in chaos, turmoll and insurrection, and brought it back to order, peace and stability, in order to reward the opposition party which was responsible for the former condition. "The people of this nation, who want steady employment rather than strife, who want stability rather than insurrection, who want the unity of interest of employer and employe promoted rather than their differences, will place the Republican party in charge of the nation as well as of the several states." *** "The platform of Colorado's Democracy upon the temperance question today is an indictment against their position of two years ago. We are much pleased with their alleged conversions; but Oh! for converted political souls two years ago when times were dark and lonely; Oh, for the clasp of friendly hands two years ago when the thick of the fight was on, or for one cheerful word and a loyal pen two years ago when defeat seemed so close and victory so far away. "The public is not going to be fooled. The great, fair-minded public will not allow the Democrats to steal unearned glory, nor will this public permit cowards, enemies or traitors at the first breaking of the dawn of victory to snatch away the colors from those who carried them triumphantly through the darkness and uncertainty of the long nights of battle." SKIMMINGS FROM THE POLITICAL POT LEST WE FORGET The Democrats declare that prohibition is not an issue but a settled fact. Then they give the lie to their own words by denouncing the beer amendment as "an opening wedge for the wets." Did it ever occur to the Democrats that prohibition really is a settled fact, just as they say, but not through any effort of theirs? HE JUST CAN'T HELP IT HE JUST CAN'T HELP IT. It's really too bad that Charlie Leckenby cannot be elected this year, either. Charlie has been running for state auditor so long that he has worn a path. His friends don't know whether it's a disease or a habit. QUESTION OF MECHANICS THEIR CHIEFEST GOAL Ostensibly the Democrats are running for office, but when Governor Carlson, in his speeches, shows up the Democratic incompetency of two years ago, with incidental lawlessness, disorder, strikes and loss to labor and capital—well, then the casual observer can only believe that the Democrats are merely running for the tallest timber. He SAVED HIMSELF If John Ramer, secretary of state, had appointed Mike Delaney as labor commissioner he would right now be sorely hampered by the Denver Post's support. As it is, having the enmity of the Post, Mr. Ramer ought to be elected unanimously or—well, almost unanimously. Of course, Ramer can't expect the vote of Delaney, any more than Governor Carlson can hope for or want the vote of Volney Hoggatt. MODERN WARFARE Two years ago the Democrats had all the tanks—all of the "wet tanks"—with them. This year the Republicans have the fact tanks, the law-enforcement tanks and the things-accomplished tanks. And they are caterpillaring right over the Democratic trenches, too. WATSON, THE PADDED CELL! The Republicans have erected three new buildings at the state insane asylum, paying $225,000 for the improvements and leaving no penny of indebtedness. Thus they have provided a nice, comfy place for the weird individual who takes a straw vote and then claims that one single Democrat will be elected. When once you have conceived and determined your mission, let naught arrest your steps. Fulfill it with all your strength; fulfill it, whether blest by love or visited by hate; whether strengthened by association with others, or in that sad solitude that almost always surrounds the martyrs of thought. In benevolent natures the impulse of pity is so sudden that, like instruments of music which obey the touch, the objects which are fitted to excite such impressions work so instantaneous an effect that you would think the will was scarce concerned, and that the mind was altogether passive in the sympathy which her own goodness has excited. 924 19th Street, Denver, Colorado DINNER 11:30 to 2 p.m. All Kinds of Sandwiches Bolden Bre Baths, FIRST R.

Rev. Josiah Henson, for example, is mentioned only twice, and then in a most casual way; as an exemplar of the "ante-bellum" thinking Negro he deserves a liberal allowance of space. Although he lived until 1881, "Father" Henson, as he was called, was born in the eighteenth century, probably June 15, 1787. This pure-blooded Negro, native of Maryland, was brought up in slavery and supplied a model for Mrs. Stowe's Uncle Tom. As a young man he preached to his fellow slaves, and once took his master's "people" over into Kentucky, to prevent their being attached by the planter's creditors. He had a master named St. Clare, whose young daughter probably suggested the "little" Eva of the story. Henson had paid $500 toward the price of his freedom, but was taken to New Orleans to be sold by his master's son. The white man being stricken with fever, the black man nursed him and took him back home. Finally Josiah escaped; he and his wife and children made their way cross-country through swamps and all to Cincinnati, and at last got to Canada. "Father" Henson was prominent in a colored community there. In 1842 or so he learned to read and write. He met Mrs. Stowe and told his story to her. In 1858 he published his autobiography, with an introduction by Mrs. Stowe. In 1850, 1852 and 1876 he went to England, lecturing and preaching, and, as the books of reference note with pious care, he was entertained at Windsor castle by Queen Victoria. Henson may be read with more entertainment and not a bit less profit than Woodson. Of the colonization movement the author writes more freely and more connectedly than of other parts of the history. The idea of segregation or colonization was of early origin and found footing both North and South. In 1779 Jefferson was a member of a committee appointed by the state legislature that reported a plan providing for the instruction of slaves in agriculture and the handicrafts to prepare them for liberation and "colonization under the supervision of the home, government until they could take care of themselves." Most Southerners conditioned their theoretical concession of the Negro's right to education with the practical assertion that when educated he should be separated from his fellows. Some who had scruples against compulsory expatriation to Africa favored colonization in "some part of the United States," which meant anything west of the Alleghanies.—New York Sun. A few earnest Negro-music students have studied the man—so broad, genial and human—carefully and thoroughly. Some Negroes have real musical accomplishments. Harry T. Burleigh, a pupil of Dovorak, is baritone soloist at St. George'e church, New York city, sings in the choir of the Jewish temple, Forty-fourth street and Fifth avenue, and is musical editor at Ricordi's. Mr. Burleigh's songs are published by Ricordi Co., G. Schirmer, the leading publisher of America, and Presser of Philadelphia. Nathaniel Dett, a very young man, recently from Oberlin School of Music, and now director at Hampton, has in his developed "Listen to the Lams," published by Schirmer, proved his right Better housing conditions and the establishment of an open-air school for Negro children will be two of the principal endeavors of the St. Louis Tuberculosis society this winter. This was decided at a meeting of the board of directors. A survey has been made showing the death rate of Negroes from consumption in St. Louis to be four to one white person in proportion to the population. Mrs. E. A. De Wolf, who originated open-air school work in St. Louis in 1909, is head of the committee for the establishment of the fresh-air institution. Dr. S. T. Lipsitz is the physician in charge. Boston's newest post office, the Back Bay postal station in Huntington avenue, opposite Symphony hall, is fast nearing completion. In architecture the new building is a replica of the Wall street branch of the New York post office. Tests have shown that the best sound deadening partitions for buildings are those made of two walls of tile with an air space between. Adelina Patti made her debut in Santiago de Cuba, and thence in the summer of 1859, she made her first appearance in New York, at Castle Garden, and created a furore in America. In a costly watch made for exhibition there is a wheel that makes a revolution but once in four years, operating a dial which shows the years, months and days. A machine has been invented for reinking typewriter and adding machine ribbons. to be taken seriously by his musical public. Carl Diton, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, a student for two years in Germany, now teacher in Atlanta, Ga., is a thorough master of the science of music. Melville Chariton, both because of temperament and technique, is considered as ranking with the first organists of New York city. Last, but greater than all of these, I must name a comedian, not a musician, George W. Walker, the late lamented partner of Bert Williams. His has been the greatest influence in the development of modern Negro music. At twenty-eight he could not read a note and could hardly write his name, yet day and night he talked Negro music to his people, urged and compelled his writers to give something characteristic. Each year he wanted bigger and better things. He engaged the best Negro voices in the United States, and their success in ensemble singing was as great in London, Paris and Berlin as in New York, Boston and Chicago. Dvorak would have been proud to know such a man. In all reverence—Dvorak—George Walker. They had high ideals and they showed the way. Perhaps in the vast hereafter, these two men may meet. The rough, uncount, but genial Bohemian master; the uneducated but highly-polished, ebon-hued African, with the gleaming ivory mouth. Do you doubt that with one impulse their hands will join and the mastiff-like smile of the Bohemian will match the lazy grin of the American Zulu, as they both whisper the one word—"brother"?—New York Sun. Music brought forth from a large choir under modern chorister methods did not appeal to R. H. Boyd, an aged delegate of Nashville, Tenn., Sunday night at a mass meeting of Negroes attending the national Baptist convention at Kansas City. The song under protest was an old southern religious plantation melody. "That's not the way my mammy used to sing it down in the cotton fields of Mississippi," declared Boyd, interrupting the chorister. He then drilled the chorus and audience in the ancient song with a hearty accompaniment of amens from the older members of the audience. Convention hall, the largest auditorium in the city, was the scene of continued mass meetings Sunday for the various branches of the convention. A Sunday school meeting in the morning drew 2,000 delegates. The evening service was in charge of Dr. W. S. Ellington of Nashville, Tenn., and Dr. E. H. McDaniel of Chica.o Fernald O. Everett of Auburn, Me., has discovered a gold mine on his farm in East Poland. He recently had samples from a ledge on the farm assayed by the state assayer at Orono, and it yielded from $5 to $10 in gold to the ton of ore. The makeup of the ledge, a combination o. feldspar, quartz and lava, makes it difficult to work. A Kansas City electrician claims to have perfected electrochemical apparatus for producing gasoline from kerosene and natural gas at a fraction of its present cost. Experiments on the Philippine island of Mindanao seem to indicate that the finest qualities of rubber can be produced there with profit. In the town of Belgrade, Me., live Mr. and Mrs. Warren P. Cummings. Mr. Cummings was eighty-eight February 24 this year, and Mrs. Cummings was eighty-six February 25. They settled on the farm where they now live when they were married, 68 years ago. Mr. Cummings still takes his goods to market two or three times a week. The considerable demand for anti- mony during the last year has stimulated the development of certain Alaska deposits of that metal, from which ore to the value of about $74, 000 was mined and shipped during 1915, according to a report published by the United States geological survey. A government chemist in Hawaii has discovered a method for neutralizing the harmful action of manganese upon pineapples grown on land impregnated with that mineral. The Thames carries to the sea an average of 1,885,903 cubic feet of sediment a year. A machine has been invented for chopping out young cotton plants at the same time the crop is being cultivated, work that heretofore has been done by hand at much expense of time and labor. The motor of the automobile which carries it operates a new machine which bores four holes into the ground at once for posts or other purposes. During the first half of last year more than $22,000,000 worth of diamonds were produced in South Africa. TRAGEDY AND COMEDY OF GREAT ROOSEVELT MEETING REVEALED IN THE STENOGRAPHIC REPORTS FULL STRENGTH OF THE INCOMPARABLE COLONEL'S ARGUMENT CAME IN HIS VERBAL ENGAGEMENT WITH THOSE HECKLERS WHO DARE TO QUESTION HIM. SPEAKS OF THOSE "EARLY VICTORIAN MAIDEN AUNTS" COLONEL CONCERNED HIMSELF ONLY WITH ROUTING THE WILSONIAN HECKLERS AND ADVISING THEM TO CHEER FOR THE MURDERED BABIES AND RAVAGED WOMEN. Denver, Colo., Nov. 2.—The astonishing force and full effect of Colonel Roosevelt's recent speech before 15,000 persons in Denver's auditorium has fortunately been preserved in the stenographer's reports of that great meeting, the most exciting Colorado has ever known. The comedy and tragedy of the meeting came too swift for the reporters to grasp it, but the full significance of the great demonstration is found in the stenographer's cold notes. The text of Colonel Roosevelt's speech was in itself most arousing, but the strength of his argument (which moved the immense crowd to a spirit of Americanism it had not known in years) was in his rapid fire verbal engagement with those few auditors who dared to heckle him. The incomparable colonel relished the opportunity, and he routed his questioners so quickly it was impossible for the reporters to take it. The stenographer's report, however, forms one of the most interesting public documents. The notes, just as the stenographer took them, are produced here in part, showing the high lights of the meeting: MR. ROOSEVELT—I wish to say that I am pleased indeed to appear on the same platform with Mary Antin and Mrs. Raymond Robins—both because of what they are and the cause of what they symbolize. Now you know—that is, I hope you know (laughter) that I don't give a snap of my finger for the finest words unless they are backed by deeds (applause). I have grown to have a positive horror of elocution because it is so often treated by those in high places, not as an incitement to, but as a substitute for ACTION! (prolonged applause). When I speak of Americanism, I don't admit of any Americanism of the fifty-fifty brand (great applause). You don't need to be told from that I stand for straight United States! Now, when I— (VOICE FROM THE GALLERY: Hurrah for Wilson!) THE CROWD—Put him out! MR. ROOSEVELT paused, and gesticated upwards. Don't put him out. Don't put him out; he entertains me! The closest friend I've had in political life during the last sixteen years has been a man both of whose parents were born in Germany—but he is no more a German-American than I am a Dutch-American. He is just STRAIGHT AMERICAN—and that is all. AND THAT'S ENOUGH! (prolonged applause). If the man is in good faith an American, that is all I ask—but I ASK ALL OF THAT! (Applause.) There isn't any such thing as a divided allegiance any such thing as a divided allegiance—the minute a man has a divided allegiance between this country and some other, you can guarantee it is an undived allegiance to the other country. . . . If this country is to be a polyglot boarding house, then it isn't worth while that it should continue to exist, and it won't exist, that you can guarantee. We praise—we speak of Washington and Lincoln—(applause). Fine! Applaud them (applause continues)—but live up to their principles in the praise (applause). Washington and Lincoln were Americans—just plain Americans—that was all, and that was enough—and what they were, we must be, or we shall perish as a nation from the face of the earth. . . And, friends, in everything I say tonight, I will ask you to test the worth of what I say by what I have done. Every now and then some man rises to say, "You mustn't criticise the President—" Well, I have been President (applause) and if there was any form of criticism that I escaped, I have forgotten it (laughter and applause). It is as Andrew Jackson said, in a message to Congress in the year 1834: "The people of the United States have not only the right but the duty individually and collectively, in any way they desire, to criticise and call to account the public actions of the President, subject only to the restraints of truth and justice." In other words, friends, it is an infamous thing—(Voice, "Hurrah for Wilson! Hurrah for Wilson!") ROOSEVELT (aside, "Little incidents of the evening)—in other words, friends, it is an infamous thing to say what is untrue, false, malicious or unjust of the President, or any other man, but less than any other man in the country, has the President the right to escape fair and truthful criticism for anything he does (applause), and I criticise Mr. Wilson as he criticised me—and he's stopped it! (chuckles) (applause). Now, if there is anything I say of him that isn't in accordance with the facts, I will be glad to have him point it out. If there is anything he wishes to say about me or any question he wishes to put to me, I will be glad to have him put it—I will answer him at once AND PUT HIM A DOZEN QUESTIONS IN RETURN (prolonged applause). It is mere folly to say that we shall never be engaged in war. Two years and a quarter ago (I must choose my words carefully) nice, well-meaning men of the pacifist type — MEN WHOM, well, I might say they were (chuckling) early Victorian maiden aunts (laughter) who believed that by elocation you could stop WAR; that it was against human experience to suppose such a thing. . . . If this country continues its national existence long enough, some time again, it will have to face the test of war— and when that time comes, it will be small comfort if it finds itself defenseless—to remember the beautiful (ironically) oratorical period of those who said, "that we could have peace BY MERELY WISHING FOR IT! (great applause). Eight years ago, on April 14, 1908, I sent a message to Congress asking for just what was starting to be done last July—the difference was I was wise before the event and they after the event—now, friends, I only mention that fact because they have continually asked me, "What did you do," and my answer is, "I would do what I did—" VOICE—What did you do? What DID YOU DO? ROOSEVELT—Let him alone—don't put him out—I'll tell him! (applause). ROOSEVELT—What did I do? I MADE THE UNITED STATES NAVY THE FIRST IN THE WORLD IN THE POINT OF EFFICIENCY! (great applause). VOICE—WHAT DID YOU DO? ROOSEVELT—Walt. I've only just begun (applause). AND I KEPT (applause keeping up)—I HAVE ONLY BEGUN TO ANSWER—and I KEPT THIS COUNTRY SO THAT THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER NATION ON THE FACE OF THE WORLD VENTURED TO INSULT ITS CITIZENS! I SENT THE BATTLE FLEET AROUND THE WORLD ON A CRUISE, THE FIRST OF THE KIND THAT HAD EVER BEEN DURTAKEN AND WHICH EVERY OTHER NATION OF THE WORLD BELIEVED COULD NOT BE DONE (chuckling)—and JUST BETWEEN TIMES I DUG THE PANAMA CANAL (applause)—and settled fifty or a hundred things like that—THAT IS ALL! VOICE—Eat him UP, TEDDY! ROOSEVELT—(laughing — THAT GENTLEMAN'S EATEN! (During an interlude Colonel Roosevelt dealt with the Mexican problem, and scored the Wilson administration heavily for its record.) VOICE—Hurrah FOR WOODROW WILSON! ROOSEVELT—turning full around in the direction of the voice, raises his right hand and retorts—"Yes, Hurrah for Wilson, hurrah for Wilson and Carranza, his side partner; hurrah for the 103 babies under 2 years old who were drowned on the Lustantia, and then hurrah for the dead Americans, of Boyd and his troopers lying out on the sands of the desert, with their dimming eyes staring upward; and hurrah for the outraged wives and sweethearts, and when you are through hurrahing about these—THEN THINK HOW YOU CAN BE A BETTER AMERICAN! (Great applause.) VOICE—HIT 'ER UP, TEDDY! ROOSEVELT—I'M ENJOYING MYSELF. BASEBALL IN THE BIBLE Where are the nine? Luke 17:17. They shall run like mighty men. Joel 2:7.

FINAL APPEAL TO VOTERS Two days more and the tension of the American people that has reached maximum fever heat will be broken, and then will pass into history one of the greatest political events that has engaged the minds of Americans for many years. The Democrats, according to their calculations, are certain of being in power for another four years, when "Rule or Ruin" policy will deprive us of the last vestige of American success that we have struggled so hard to obtain in the years preceding their occupation of the government. On the eve of making the choice for head of the nation and chief executive of the state of Colorado, we ask voters to weigh well the acts of the Democratic party for nearly four successive years against the continuous period of progress of the Republican Party; compare the effort to destroy the pillars of progressiveness that won for our country the recognition she deserved, also the non-attention paid to the protection of American life and property, with the prestige established by the Republican leaders whose patriotism counts for more than a passing thought, and in their desire to uphold the standard of AMERICA FIRST AND ALL THE TIME gave us a country of which we were justly proud, and see if we can saneily and conscientiously allow our opponents another tenure of office. The great financial increase of our treasury, the keeping out of war delusion, the so-called benefits offered to labor under the present administration, which are among the several boastings of the Democrats, are credited to the unfortunate European struggle and cruel warfare; the wicked segregation laws, class legislation and increase of mob-rule with the list of victims going upwards by leaps and bounds; the enacting of laws that tend to create internal disturbances among a people that formerly learned to love this country, to honor its flag, to appreciate its protection anywhere and everywhere—all these should strengthen us with sufficient courage to oppose every Democratic aspirant of that party for re-election or election to positions that would be further detrimental to us as a people and a nation. In the state of Colorado, where we were fortunate to have a Republican administration, we can point to advancement along many lines. For nearly two years of the present administration we have succeeded in suppressing vice and reducing crime to a great extent; replenished a depleted treasury; improved the financial status of the average working man; wholly free from serious industrial disturbances; afforded employment for the majority of the unemployed; aid to injured workmen, making the same obligatory on the part of the employer instead of leaving it to his discretion; fearless dispensation of the laws of the state, also better protection to the school lands of almost inestimable value, and most of all, a surplus of $410,000 in the treasury to the credit of our state. Surely, there can be no hesitation in answering the question—"Choose this day whom ye will serve?"—in the affirmative for the REPUBLICAN PARTY that has weathered the gale, braved the storm and made our ship ride easily at anchor. Fellow citizens! and more especially Colored Voters of Denver and Colorado, we are on a pivot. Beware of the usual enchantments of our Democratic opposers who boast of being able to get us to compromise a principle, and who devise coercive methods, even through some of our own, to carry out their plot which can have no other result but our utter loss and defeat in the championing of our national and sacred constitutional rights. Go with The Colorado Statesman on Tuesday, November 7, and although we have the headless ballot, look carefully down every column and place the X to the right of the word Republican from Presidential Electors to every other official position. Every vote for every Republican candidate is a guarantee of America's good faith with the world of nations, the upholding of an honorable peace and prosperity, and a restoration of the confidence of the NEGRO RACE in a Republican government that will adhere to the constitution of the country which provides for a righteous treatment of all its citizens. COLORAD AND REPUBLICAN success must be in our ears and on our tongues next Tuesday, and HUGHES, FAIRBANKS AND CARLSON will usher a new illumination into the American commonwealth and this Centennial State—the effulgence of which will be stamped on the memory of the present generation losing itself in a perpetual hereditament to generations of the future. CHARLES E. HUGHES, who heads the National Republican ticket, represents the highest type of manhood and will triumphantly get the endorsement of the voters on November 7th. GEORGE A. CARLSON, candidate for governor, needs no introduction to the people, and we urge the lovers of good government to see to it next Tuesday that he will be re-elected chief executive of the state. MOSES E. LEWIS, candidate for lieutenant governor, is a gentleman of the highest sterling qualities and deserves, which he will receive next Tuesday, the loyal suffrage of the voters of Colorado. JUDGE GEORGE W. ALLEN and WM. H. GABBERT for Supreme Judges and WM. N. VAILE for Congress are men whose ability, eloquence and personal influence are so well and generally known as to be unquestioned. JOHN E. RAMER for Secretary of State, OLIE THORSON for Auditor, HARRY E. MULNIX for Treasurer, WM. C. ROBINSON for Attorney General, HELEN M. WIXSON for Superintendent of Public Instruction, WILLIAM J. KING and ANNA WOLCOTT VAILE for Regents of the University, complete a state ticket which stands as a model for all other parties and political organizations in any manner engaged in the campaign. GREELEY W. WHITFORD for District Judge, JOHN W. GILLESPIE for District Attorney, GEORGE A. LUXFORD for County Judge, WALTER C. HECKENDORF for Juvenile Judge, WM. C. CARPENTER, LEON M. HATTENBACH and JAMES C. STARK-WEATHER for State Senators; and the twelve representatives are composed of men whose ability and character fit them for these honorable positions, and they will, without a doubt, poll the majority of votes on election day. Considering the individual worth of these several candidates and the aggregate responsibility for which they are qualified and prepared, no unbiased voter can vote against them without stultifying his conscience, while their hearty support at the polls is a duty which every honest citizen can take a pleasure in performing. Value of Parole Law Shown by Number of Delinquent Boys Who "Make Good" By RT. REV. SAMUEL FALLOWS Bishop of Reformed Episcopal Church For 21 years I was president of the board of managers of the Illinois State reformatory. During that period, since the operation of the parole law, I helped parole 8,000 boys and young men. Every crime in the catalogue, major and minor, had been committed by them. Some of the cases seemed utterly hopeless, but the methods and discipline of the new system wrought a marvelous change. We tested the truth of John Locke's statement, made over three hundred years ago, that heredity counted for one-tenth only in a man. Education, he asserted, took care of the other nine-tenths. By education Locke meant environment, a word which came later into our language. Were the ratio reversed, there never could be any progress for the human race. I was permitted during my presidency to visit every reform and industrial school in the United States, to find out as far as possible the lapses of these boys into crime after their parole and discharge. I visited the greater number of state prisons in the country and corresponded with the wardens of all the others to ascertain how many paroled boys were inmates of these penitentiaries. First, I found that nearly 80 per cent of the boys discharged in the aggregate of all those paroled were "making good." Second, I found that not 3 per cent were inmates of state prisons. I made a careful estimate of the known wages paid to those paroled and discharged boys and learned that these united amounts were larger than the entire sum paid by the various states for the support of their reformatory institutions. Here is proof enough to convince the most hidebound skeptic of the value of the parole law! I believe in the boy. I have met the lads who have been graduated from their parole period in many cities of the Union. I know of them as occupying influential positions. I have married many of them and seen the happy homes which they have established. "Labor Famine" Exists Only Where Long Hours at Low Wages Are Demanded A present-day tendency is the acceptance of organized labor's position on immigration restriction. During the past year the acid test of experience has verified the claim of trade unions that American institutions cannot assimilate nor American living standards resist the flood tides of induced immigration that has been the policy of captains of industry. Information and reports received by the officers of the American Federation of Labor clearly demonstrate the face that a "labor famine" exists only where employers still demand long hours at low wages, and where they ignore the living standards set by the workers. Another element among employers who talk of the scarcity of labor do so to entice a sufficient number of idle workers to their factory gates as a menace to those employed and who are liable to demand better conditions. These employers oppose restriction of immigration because restriction will defeat their policy of having two or more men for every job. Another tendency is the growing opposition to labor injunctions, which class labor power as property. The congress of the United States has voiced this opposition in amendments to the anti-trust laws. Judicial interpretations of the term "property" in the fourteenth amendment to the federal Constitution are losing their force. What was originally intended to end slavery has been used to thwart the enactment of social legislation, but courts have failed to check the swelling tide of democracy. All Men Should Be Compelled by Law to Divide Incomes With Their Wives All Men Should Be Compelled by Law to Divide Incomes With Their Wives By INEZ MILHOLLAND BOISSEVAIN The work a woman does at home is so dignified and so important that it ought to be paid for. Except for the services of his wife in the home, a man would have to employ a cook, a nurse, a bookkeeper, a scrubwoman, and a chambermaid. The wife who manages the household should receive half of her husbands' income. Individual agreements to that effect will not hold and cannot be made to apply to all families. Every state should have a law requiring men to divide their incomes with their wives. All the law requires now is that a man keep a roof over the woman to whom he is married. It is customary for him to say: "Here, Mary, is five dollars for you." Whatever money she gets comes from the husband only because he is moved to give it to her. Too many women take the attitude that he earns the money and that it is all his. They do not put the proper value on their own services in the house. It is better for a woman to be an independent wage earner. There is no relationship so delightful as when both husband and wife work and contribute toward the expenses of the household on equal terms. Love is kept alive. It is not smothered in luxuriousness or domesticity. Strife for Precedence Has Been Great Tragedy in Most Big Moral Campaigns By REV. CHARLES F. AKED There are too many of us trying to go through the world on a big bluff. Ignorance is not always discreditable, but to pretend knowledge you do not have is always so. If you think yourself so very wise, I pray you become the fool—that you may become wise. This is what the Apostle Paul told the Corinthians, and it is just as good advice today. This strife for precedence and a place in the world has been the tragedy of the Christian church and of most of our great moral campaigns. Most of us would rather have a thing not succeed than succeed through one other than ourselves. Don't seem to be something; be something. I'm pleading for a little healthy recklessness. You have been cautious too long. Some men and women devote all their lives to the fine art of getting on the winning side at the moment of victory Your VOTE and INFLUENCE SOLICITED FOR Walter C.

On last Friday evening at 10 o'clock Mrs. Mary Ellen Clark died at her late residence, 2516 Lafayette street, after an illness of several months. She was born in Frankford, Ky, January 29, 1836, was married to Dud. ley Clark in 1858, in Missouri City, Mo., where three children were born to them. After the close of the war in 1865, they moved to Kansas. In 1875, Mr, and Mrs. Clark and family of seven children moved to Denver, Colo., where they have resided ever since. In early days Mrs. Clark was a prominent figure in both church and social life, possessing a strong and energetic character. She leaves to mourn her sad demise, a daughter, Mrs, Ida DePriest, and a son, Darius Clark, besides a host of friends, ‘The funeral was held from the fam- ily residence, Monday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, Rev. A. C. Williams, of Short- er A, M. E. Church, officiating, as- sisted by Rey, A, M, Ward. There was a profusion of flowers, the gifts of friends who honored, loved and ad- mired the deceased.

I wish to ask the young people of Colorado, who say that the Republican party did not fight to free the slaves, whe was John Brown, the man hung by Goy. Wise of Virginia? Well, John Brown was the first man to whom you can trace your freedom, and he died for the colored man; he was a Republican. The white man of the North organ- ized the underground railroad and ran all sorts of risks to bring slaves into the Northern states and then refused to allow them to be taken back; and the Methodist and Quakers compelled their members to free their slaves or resign from the church, ‘The above facts were really the cause of the war. It was against the law to be caught stealing slaves and shipping them North and the man of the South was allowed to kill anyone so caught and was protected by law, and yet the white man of the North took those chances for the black man of the South, Do you still say the white man did not fight to free slaves? ‘Why did Gen, Grant tell President Lincoln (both Republicans) to free the slaves? So they could fight and help free themselves; and you young col- ored people don’t appreciate all this. ‘The Northern white man has done more for the black man than all the rest of the world put together. I would like to ask the black man this ques- tion: If the white man was in slavery today, how many of you colored folks would take up a gun and shed your blood to give him freedom? Yet the white man of the North did all this for you. Now boys, don’t forget that it was the Republican party that was respon- sible for all this, and the party has always been your friend. Don’t forget this in November; cast your vote straight, and remember that Mr, Wil- son is the first man that ever drew the color line in the White House. All we want is a fair chance, and I believe the Republican party is our party and why make a change for something else which we know is antagonistic to us.

AUTOS IF THE GARDEN A Beautiful Flower Garden POINTS IN POTTING PLANTS POINTS IN POTTING PLANTS By EVA RYMAN-GAILLARD. Plants grown for beauty of their foliage should be given rather large pots, holding plenty of rich soil, while those grown for blossoms should be in smaller ones. Root-bound plants seem to produce more and finer blossoms, but this should not be construed to mean keeping them so tightly root-bound that they starve to death. When the pot is full of roots shift the plant to one an inch or two larger, and fill the space with good soil. Never fill a pot so full of soil that the water runs off the top instead of settling into the soil. Leave a space vacant in the top of the pot, an inch or more, according to the size of the pot and the amount of water needed by the plant. For plants having hard, woody stems, the soil may be level on the surface, and no harm is done as the water standing around the stem will not injure it, but for soft, crown-centered plants like the primrose, the soil should be higher in the center than at the edge. It is well, too, to avoid pouring water into the crown of the plant, as the manner in which the leaves come up makes them drain the water down into the crown of the plant, and pro THE PALM TREE Plants Grown for Beauty Should Be Given Rather Large Pots. duce what is known as "crown-rot," which kills all buds which form. Much is said of using "thumb pots" in which to root cuttings, but (after rooting hundreds) I prefer three-inch pots to the smaller ones. Or, you can heap the earth against it, on the side toward which you propose to bend it, and over this the canes can be bent. I prefer this method because it does not disturb the roots. The earth should not be as high where it touches the plant as it is a few inches from it. The object is to form a support of soil which will enable you to curve the bushes over it, thus avoiding the sharp sudden bends which do so much injury to one's plants. Lay all the bushes in one direction, placing the stalks close together. By doing this, much covering can be saved. When the plants are laid down. PALMER Send Some of Your Potted Plants to Your Church. place pieces of sod on them to hold them in place. If this is not done, they will be sure to spring back to an upright position before you get them covered. Cover with dry earth to the depth of four inches. If leaves are used, it will be necessary to make a little pen to confine the leaves. After covering the bushes with soil or leaves provide a second covering of boards, or something that will shed rain. If water is allowed to settle into the soil above the bushes, and remain there, they will be greatly injured by it. One must plan to keep the covering as dry as possible. This is of the greatest importance. If the ground is not well drained, make little ditches between your plants in the fall, for surplus to run into. If tiny seedlings are to be potted off, then the thumb pot may be best for the first transplanting, but even nere I would use small, shallow boxes for "flats" until the second or third transplanting would bring the plants up to where they are ready for the three-inch pots, or the open ground. The commercial grower who must economize in space, and gives constant attention to the plants, has use for the smallest pots, but they are a nuisance to the average grower of plants. COLD FRAMES FOR WINTERING PLANTS By L. M. BENNINGTON. Successful gardening depends on early production. Cold frame plants are more certain to live than hotbed plants and give a larger per cent of good stuff than do the more tender hotbed plants. To construct one use two frames instead of one. The larger frame is four and one-half feet by seven and one-half feet and one foot deep. The inner one is one foot smaller each way and only eight inches deep. The space all around the inner frame, six inches wide, is filled with dry sawdust well packed down. The covering for the inner frame is a glass-covered sash made to fit quite close to the frame to exclude the air. The outer frame is covered with an oiled canvassed frame so as to be waterproof. A strip of carpet, or other good material, is kept over the inner sash in severe weather. We prefer shallow frames to keep the plants from growing spindling. We choose a location free from cold winds and where a good exposure to the sun can be had. In such a frame there are 3,275 square inches, and allowing three square inches to the plant, one can have over 1,000 plants per frame. Good rich soil is used and the under soil is made quite loose to give a chance for root growth. It is best to grow the plants in the open and transplant on the approach of severe weather. Frames of a larger size are not easily handled, nor can the same protection be given them. On mild days we give light to the plants by removing the outer sash, and if safe we raise the inner sash to admit fresh air. These frames are not expensive where one can do his own work and they add a good per cent to the investment. HIS POSITION PLAIN Some Things That Hughes Would Not Have Done. In the First Place, Dangerous Situations Would Not Have Been Permitted to Develop Through Lack of Statesmanship. A good way to gain an idea of "What Hughes would have done if he had been president" is to consider what he would not have done. As he would not have permitted dangerous situations to develop through his own vacillation, infirmity, and stubborn refusal to look facts in the face, it is not the purpose to ask what he would have done to extricate himself from such situations. Hughes would not have permitted the Mexicans to kill Americans with impunity over a period of three years. Hughes would not have looked at the murdered Americans and said: "Too bad, too bad, but the Mexicans are fighting in their own way, and we mustn't butt in." Hughes would not have sent a fleet to Vera Cruz to force Huerta to give a salute to the American flag and then withdrawn the fleet without securing the salute, following it with the statement that the fleet did not go to enforce a salute. Hughes would not have told the United States that his rule was absolute non-intervention in Mexico, while actually intervening against Huerta, first in favor of Villa and then Carranza. Hughes would not have lifted the embargo on American rifles and permitted them to go to both Carranza and Villa; then shutting off Carranza's supply while flirting with Villa; then shutting off Villa's supply after recognizing Carranza; and then shutting off Carranza's supply after the killing of American soldiers with American bullets from American rifles. Hughes would not have held Germany to "strict accountability" until the Lusitania tragedy and then declared that the United States was too proud to fight. Hughes would not have written a strong note to Germany and then approved of his secretary of state giving a private tip to the Austrian ambassador that the note did not mean what it said; that it was meant for home consumption in this country, to fool the people into thinking the administration would really act. Hughes would not have waited nine months for a reply from Great Britain to the American protest against violation of international law. He would not have sent another note in May and waited until November for the reply, menntime permitting the unhampered violation of American commercial rights, the rifling of American mails, and the seizure of cargoes without prize court trials or indemnities. Hughes would not have granted a certain set of men ten hours' pay for eight hours' work and called it an eight-hour law. He would not have granted this favor under threat, before investigation, and without knowledge whether it was right or wrong. Hughes, representing 100,000,000 people, would not have gone to congress and asked it to surrender to the demands of 400,000 people, rather than insist upon just inquiry and a square deal to all. Wage Increase Issue. Former Justice Hughes, of all men, would be the last to seek to frustrate the true interests of labor and to muzzle the ox that treads out the grain. He believes, as all fair-minded persons believe, that the laborer is worthy of his hire. And he believes, also, that the lessening of the hours of labor is both a humane and an economic and social advance. Yet Mr. Hughes is brave enough and patriotic enough to drive the shafts of his logic through the sham of the wage increase law that was enacted by congress at the behest of the president to get him, the president, out of a hole; and not to make the working-man or anyone else happier.—Baltimore American. Comfort From Bryan "The president," declares William Jennings Bryan as he swings into the campaign with his personal publication, "is a lucky man. The 'ravens' brought him the strike, and by doing the right thing at the right time and in the right way, he made a good political meal out of it." There are two interesting and valuable features to this statement. One is the virtual admission that political considerations decided the course which Wilson took in regard to the threatened railroad strike. The other is the well-known fact that Bryan's conception of the right thing to do politically usually proves, when the votes are counted, to be wrong. Wilson a Poor "Forecaster." President Wilson paints a rosy picture of the future industrial and commercial prospects of the United States. But is he competent to make a reliable forecast on any practical subject like this? Those who recall his record with reference to business will find grave reason to doubt. Usual Procrastination What did the suffraghs expect from President Wilson, but "In a little while?" Isn't that the keynote of his administration? ALWAYS THE SAME STORY Democratic Tinkering With the Tariff Has Resulted in Disaster to the Country. How the Democratic tariff now in force destroyed protection to the American farmer, manufacturer and workingman and failed to produce even revenue for the government, was brought out by United States Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota while the revenue bill was under consideration in the closing days of the recent session of congress. "In making their first assault upon the tariff President Wilson and his party followed in the wake of President Cleveland and his administration in 1893-4," he said. "It is always the tariff that is an eyesore to the Democratic party. "The avowed purpose of the law was to destroy protection and to produce revenue. It was successful as a destroyer of protection, but an utter failure as a revenue provider." As proof of this statement he read a table of official figures, which showed that imports had increased from $1,556,947,430 under the Payne law in 1910, to $2,197,883,510 under the Underwood law in 1916, while duties collected had dropped from $333,683,445 in 1910 to $211,866,222 in 1916. In other words, while foreign producers had brought to this country half a billion dollars additional goods to compete with Americans in their own market, the government's revenues had dropped considerably more than a hundred million dollars. All Hurt by Democratic Tariff. A leading grain dealer of the central West the other day made the following statement: "While in New York last week I purchased 6,000 bushels of Russian clover seed which is now in storage at Vladivostok. This seed I will not have to pay for until it is set down for me in New York, and it comes with insurance paid and government inspection guaranteed. I pay for this seed a trifle over $6 a bushel, and will be able to clean up a handsome profit on it. Several months ago I made a similar turn on alfalfa seed. This seed was brought from the interior overland, loaded on the trans-Siberian railroad, taken to Vladivostok, placed on shipboard and brought to New York, where it was put down for me at six cents a pound lower than the market in this country. One might fancy from this fact that I am in favor of the present tariff law, but I most emphatically am not. To be sure it enables me for the time being to pile up big profits, but after all it is undermining the prosperity and welfare of the American farmer and in the long run it is the American farmer I must look to for the maintenance of my business. What helps him helps me, and what hurts him hurts me. Incidentally it hurts the whole country, too, for when you get right down to brass tacks this country is essentially agricultural, and it is going to continue so for a good many years to come." Administration to Blame. Administration to Blaine. Some weeks ago when it was announced in the Republican press of the country that clever swindlers in various communities were preparing to take advantage of the misty verblage of the rural credits law to put something over on the farmers, the Washington administration gave voice to a most dolorous wall and protested that it was a viciously partisan report put out in order to discredit the new law. Now, however, we are informed that the government has finally awakened to the fact that swindlers really were operating and that the farmers it reassured are out immense sums of money. One concern alone is charged with having got away with $350,000, and others were almost equally successful. And the Washington administration, by its indignant denial of the Republican report, now stands in the attitude of having acted as a capper for the crooks. Poor substitute for protection. President Wilson in his speech at Baltimore substituted for the idea of protection the idea of going out and capturing the markets of the world with American workingmen laboring eight hours a day at high wages in competition with foreign workingmen who labor longer hours at lower wages. If the war lasts indefinitely, of course all will be well. The war furnishes protection of the highest tariff ever proposed by anyone—its protection is really prohibitive—New York Herald. Always Opposed Woman Suffrage. President Wilson's statement to the American Woman Suffrage association at Atlantic City, "I have come here to fight with you," might be interpreted either way. According to the women who have represented this association in Washington all the year, the Democratic administration has been fighting the suffrage amendment from first to last.—Lovell (Mass.) Courier-Citizen. Stage Money Free trade is like the man who is always going to strike something rich; he lives in that dream all his life and dies without a penny in his pocket. Free trade brings imaginative blessings. At the present time it is loading the pockets of the American people with stage money. Sticking and Stuck. Sometimes the president lacks firmness, but he has kept Sephus Daniels in his cabinet all this time!—From the Boston Advertiser. WASHINGTON GOSSIP War Department Considers a Novel Steel Helmet WASHINGTON.—The latest "engine" of military defense has been born in Washington. It is a combination steel helmet and trench digger, designed by Leonard D. Mahan, formerly in the United States army, now a because of a belief that a permanent helmet was an unnecessary burden on the soldier. Mahan hopes that his helmet will be adopted, however, for, he points out, it is not a permanent headgear and need only be worn while the men are under actual fire. The new helmet would not do away with the present campaign hat. It is made of crumble steel and resembles the grocer's sugar scoop. When marching, the helmet could be carried as a part of the equipment, and while in camp it could be used handily as a digger, bailer, or even as a mess kit, Mahan believes. Although Mahan does not assert that his helmet ever would do away with the regular trench-digging tools, he points out that in battle his helmet would protect the head and neck, and still not do away with the campaign hat. Uncle Sam's Census Office Really Does Much Work Uncle Sam's Census Office Really Does Much Work THE bureau of the census is now completing the manufactures census for 1914. This sounds as though the figures might be ancient, but how about the time when this census was made public five years after the work was sents the outgrowth and development of a century and a quarter of periodical, and, in recent years, continuous, statistical inquiry. While various labor-saving machines have been installed by the government from time to time, there is, perhaps, no bureau of the entire fabric of federal work that has benefited more by the use of modern machinery. In fact, the census office is doing today with the use of machines what would be absolutely impossible if hand labor had to be employed. From time to time various reforms and improvements have been inaugurated in this office, and at present the current work on all lines is practically up to date—a condition which has not until recently existed during the bureau's history. According to officials of the bureau, the first use of mechanical appliances in the compilation of census data was made during the closing months of the work on the census of 1870, when a simple tallying machine was employed with good results. At the census of 1890 there was introduced a card system of tabulation, which, with modifications and improvements, is still employed. These cards are punched by what is known as a verification machine, which is almost human in its work, throwing out all cards with errors. Following this, the cards are put through an automatic sorting machine which takes care of some 300 cards a minute; following which the card is placed in still another machine, which counts them at the rate of 500 a minute, purely automatically, and finally they are put into still a fourth machine, which records each item of information indicated on the card. Great Variety of Domes in the National Capital Great Variety of Domes in the National Capital WASHINGTON possesses an unusual number of domed buildings. The student or lover of architecture finds here not only a great many, but a great variety of domes. It is extraordinary that examples of all the domes shaped windows and graceful segmental ornamentations will always be only adjuncts to its impressive feature—its size. In height the capitol dome reaches 287 feet into the air; its greatest diameter is 135 feet. Washington's most beautiful dome surmounts the Library of Congress. This has a diameter of 100 feet, making it almost as large as that of the capitol; but, offhand, one would certainly say that it is a much smaller dome. This is due to its shape. The library dome is an Italian renaissance type and is a flattened spherical vault. It is built of stucco applied to a framework of iron and steel, filled in with terra cotta. The domed roof is sheathed with copper, and over this is laid the coating of gold leaf, 23 karats fine. As far as ornamentation goes, this dome is the most exquisite in the United States. The interior walls are superbly painted and adorned with arabesques. The National museum possesses a dome neither huge nor extremely ornate; yet it is one of the most pleasing domes to the architectural eye that is found in the city. It recalls the dome of the Pantheon at Rome; in the matter of contour they are quite similar. These are Washington's three official domes.

Before the opening of the present season, when styles for it were in prep- aration, some of the famous authorities in Paris promised that the slim sil- houette would become the fashion. Whereupon the slender woman con- xratulated herself because draperies were to return to graceful lines and uer slimness was to be emphasized in- stead of being concealed. The plump woman approved also because she might hope to convey an appearance of slenderness in draperies less ample und outstanding than those of the sum- mer season. The transition from bouffant to straight lines has been rather gradual und much more apparent in street suits und afternoon gowns than In evening clothes. But the slim silhouette is suining ground. Skirts are full but straight hanging, and they are some- what longer, which adds to the appear- unce of height. But women did not tuke kindly to much added length in vults, and skirts now are not much be- ow the shoetops. The handsome suit shown tn the pic- ture 1s a fine exponent of good style in the richest of materials. It 1s plain silk velours, or it might be made tn Japanese velvet. The skirt hangs straight, but is full and Is laid in plaits about the waist. It is finished with # three-Inch hem and the weight and sup- pleness of the material make It cling to the figure. | ‘Phe cout is an unusual and original design and is trimmed with plain vel- vet In a dark color. ‘The back is long and shaped into the figure at the waist- line with small plaits. ‘There ts a plait- ed fan of velvet set over the long panel. There is a full double ripple over the hips and a plain front. A belt extends from the side seams at the back and fastens in front. The cuffs are faced with velvet, and round but- tons that finish them are covered with it ‘A scarf of the same material made to wear with this suit adds a wonder- fully chic finish to it. It is wound about the throat and knotted at the left side, where a long pointed end hangs to the bottom of the coat.

They include a big picture hat of gray velvet with a ahirred band of velvet about the side ‘rown and a collar of skunk far. Three soft, shaded plumes are grouped at the back, and a bridle of black vel- vet ribbon extends over the brim and under the hair at the back. The plumes are shaded from white to gray, and a white ostrich neckplece adds to the charm of the hat. In the second hat—of black velvet— a wreath of white ostrich is finished with a single short plume at the back, and a small metallic pink rose seems Placed in the best of all settings at the front.
