COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO AND NEW MEXICO THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Memorial Fund Campaign An Education VOL. XXIII. Memoria Campa E Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Nov. 4. —So well was the Memorial Fund campaign organized in Dallas, Texas, that although $500 was pledged, the movement had received such impetus that when the final counts were made, Dallas had given $525.31. Churches, socities and loyal individuals worked with unflagging enthusiasm for the success of the campaign. Dr. R. T. Hamilton, the chairman of the committee, well deserves the following compliment which was paid him by one of the pastors of his city, who said: "The Dallas committee was requested to raise $500. This has been done, and Dr. R. T. Hamilton well deserves the credit for securing it. He has gone about the work from the very beginning with enthusiastic interest and has spared no time or energy in visiting individuals, lodges and churches and speaking a good word for the success of the campaign in Dallas." Announcement has already been made of the $2,000 which was recently sent from the colored people of New York city—one thousand dollars through the Memorial Fund committee and one thousand from The Southern Beneficial League, an organization composed of colored people who formerly lived in the South, but are now residents of New York. Mr. Thomas W. Grigsby is president of the Southern League. Enthusiastic meetings in the interest of the Memorial Fund have been planned for New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. These meetings were fortunately arranged at a time when Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, and Mr. Emmet S. Scott, secretary, are scheduled to be in New York city on business for the school and they have arranged to be present at these meetings on their way South the latter part of November. These meetings and the response referred to above are in thorough accord with the outlook referred to in a previous article when it was predicted that the coming of fall would mean the revival of interest in the movement. Committees in many other cities are meeting regularly and planning the most thorough campaigns to raise suitable sums to represent their cities. It has been most encouraging to receive letters from various workers who are interested in the success of this campaign. In all their letters there is interwoven an appreciation of the race pride which is involved in this effort among the colored people. For example, Rev. Aaron G. Thomas, pastor of the Second Baptist church, Okolona, Miss., writes: "I am glad to know that our white friends have given more than one-half the amount which they were asked to give to the Memorial Fund and regret that the colored people's response is less than one-fifth of the amount they were asked to give. Knowing as we do of Dr. Washington's devotion to the cause of humanity as exemplified by his unselfish labors both for our race and for our nation, it is disappointing that our people have done so little towards raising their $250,000 which is only an eighth of the amount to be raised from the white friends. In addition to the inspiring letters from friends in the United States, we have also received this encouraging word from a colored lady in Alaska: "I just learned tonight of a Memorial to the memory of Dr. Booker T. Washington being secured from the colored people and will enclose $10.00 in my next letter for the fund. We have nothing but gold on hand at present but will remit when I can get some currency from the United States mint at Seattle." Altogether the outlook is most promising for a good response from the colored people before the end of the year. Now that the election is over, things will settle down to normal and many of those who are now dividing their attention between politics and business will be able to renew their efforts in behalf of the Memorial Fund. "The campaign is an education for the colored people in self-dependency and I feel sure that they are going to do their part," writes one of the Tuskegee trustees and this sentiment is being reflected every day in the letters and efforts of our people. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Active plans are in progress for the concert and pipe organ recital which is to be given at the Shorter A. M. E. church on Thursday evening, December 7, for the benefit of the association. The singing of the well-known Olinger male quartet will be a prominent feature of the concert. The second talk in the boys' educational course will be given on Friday evening, the 17th, and will be on "Wireless Telegraphy." The program of the boys' meeting State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House G, MONTAN ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SATU last Sunday afternoon was furnished by the boys themselves. The band was out in full, and presented a fine spectacle as they came marching up from their assembling place on California street with flags flying and to the accompaniment of their own music. They rendered several numbers on the program. A trio of girls also sang very beautifully. Young Miss Fay Shivers rendered the "Moonlight on the Hudson" with telling effect. Next Sunday afternoon the Rev. C. O. Thibedeau, pastor of the Highlands M. E. church, will address the boys at 2:30 o'clock. The men's meeting held at 4 o'clock was one of the most interesting for several weeks. The program was rendered by the Business Men's Gospel Team of Denver, led by Mr. H. W. Moore of the board of directors of the Denver Y. M. C. A. Five men composed the team. They spoke and sang and prayed. The principal address was given by Mr. Moore, and was rich and deeply spiritual. A picture of the late Captain Johnson was presented by Dr. De Frantz. Officer Froman made the presentation address, and Guy Nelson unveiled it. Next Sunday afternoon will be Ladies' Day. An unusually attractive program will be rendered under the management of Mrs. Gertie N. Ross, organist of Shorter A. M. E. church. The program will begin promptly at 4 o'clock. Ladies will be welcome, and gentlemen are requested to bring ladies with them. Baton Rouge, La.—Twenty years in the penitentiary was the sentence given to Dr. E. D. Robinson, a prominent white physician, a specialist in ear, nose and throat troubles, who was convicted in the District Court of East Baton Rouge, of attempted criminal assault upon a 13-year-old white girl. Judge Brunot, because of the convincing nature of the testimony, gave the convicted man the full limit of the law. The girl was a patient who had gone to the doctor's office for treatment.

Some men would never rise in the world if their wives didn't blow them up. What danger is there if you don't think of any?--Thoreau. Abbeville, S. C.—Following their action in lynching Anthony Crawford, a well-to-do farmer, who was courageous enough to defend himself from an assault by a white man, the brave and gallant white men of this community, to the number of more than a hundred, have decided that the five Crawford boys who survive their father must leave this neighborhood. Their declared reason for making this demand is that it is for the sake of peace and for the best interest of the community. The hundred or more farmers, or hill billies, as they are known, wanted to call on the boys in a body, but citizens of the town persuaded them to allow a committee of citizens to see the boys. This was done, and the boys asked to be given until November 15 to wind up their business affairs. Mr. Crawford owned about 500 acres of land and was reputed to be worth considerable money. The request of the boys was granted. It is well understood that even with the time granted it will be impossibe for the Crawford boys to effect any advantageous arrangement for disposing of their holdings, and so brave white farmers will probably take advantage of the opportunity to secure slices of the fine Crawford properties at nominal prices. Later in the day, after this arrangement had been settled upon the hill billies became dissatisfied because they didn't go in a bunch to run the boys out of town, this feeling being helped on, undoubtedly, by resorting to illegal dispensers of alcoholic concoctions, and so the crowd went about the town to the various places of business conducted by colored men and demanded that they shut up their shops. The better element of the town's citizenry, judiciously mingling with the crowd, effectually prevented any outbreak of violence against the colored shopkeepers, who closed their shops and kept out of the way. With the departure of the outlaw gang from the city, the excitement died out, and the next day the Negroes were allowed to take up their business pursuits. But the edict against the Crawford boys stands, and they must sacrifice everything and leave the community. Savannah, Ga.—What is said to be the largest dividend declared by any colored banking concern in the country was decided upon by the board of directors of the Wage Earners' Savings Bank at a recent meeting. RACE NEWS Washington, D. C., Oct. 25. Ex-slaves began a two weeks' national reunion here Sunday. Some of those attending are said to be more than 100 years old. Issuance of the emancipation proclamation and passage of the Thirteenth Amendment will be celebrated. Hattiesburg, Miss.—Attracted by offers made by Chicago packing houses, 200 Hattiesburg Negroes, men and women, left here last night for the Windy City. Efforts on the part of the police and county officials to find the labor agent responsible for the big emigration failed. The Negroes boarded the Northern train, and after it was underway, tickets were presented to them by the agents. Washington, Nov. 5.—Washington women are figuring on giving a prize to the most faithful servant in the city, but it looks like all others have been left at the post by Dinah Hart. She's been with the same family 102 years. Mrs. Mary J. Williams, present representative of the family, reports that Dinah was born in 1814, a slave, and has been with the Williams ever since Memphis, Tenn.'—As a result of a brutal attack by three white men, who ejected him from a Pullman sleeper on which he was riding enroute to this city from St. Louis, Dr. J. E. White is in a hospital here being treated for his injuries. Dr. White left New York on October 9 for Missouri, where he intends entering upon the practice of medicine. Intending to visit friends in Memphis, he left St. Louis on October 11, occupying a berth on the Pullman sleeper attached to the Iron Mountain train, a division of the Missouri Pacific. A few miles out of Memphis three white men, not passengers, it appeared entered the car, evidently for that particular purpose, and after assaulting Dr. White, ejected him from the car. Incidentally, they relieved him of his purse. He has entered suit in the Federal Court for damages to the amount of $10,000 with Attorney Boothe of this city as his lawyer. PREJUDICE AMONG Last week Chicago furnished NO 13. an excellent example of prejudice among our own people. The organ of the Independent A. M. E. Church went wrong and the trustees directed their pastor to have it fixed. Rev. L. C. Curtis, the pastor, went to the firm of Sidney T. Nimmo and Son, and asked that a man be sent out. Mr. Nimmo sent his son, but the son could not fix it. The firm then told the minister that they would send out a Colored employee who was an expert and could do the work. The minister replied that he wanted a white man and not a Colored man. Mr. Nimmo had the following to say: "I waa astonished when he said he wanted a white man. I also told him that I always recognized a man by his ability and not by his color. The man I recommended, Walter Pinderhughes, has been in my employ for the past eight years, and is generally regarded as one of the best mechanics in his line in the city, of any race. His services have become indispensable to me and although he has received flattering offers to go elsewhere he has remained loyal. The minister asked me to recommend a white firm, but I refused." MONUMENT TO COLORED SOLDIERS ERECTED IN NORFOLK, VA. The Silas Fellows Post No. 7, G. A. R. of Virginia and North Carolina will tomorrow unveil in Lincoln Cemetery, on the Deep Creek boulevard, a monument to the Colored soldiers who fought and died in the civil war. There will be a big parade in connection with the unveiling exercises. It will leave the downtown section of the city at 10 a. m. In the procession will be several bands, a company of Colored sailors from the navy yard, Spanish-American war veterans and civil war veterans. Every Colored Lodge and Organization in Norfolk Portsmouth will participate, and each will have a band. At the cemetery Wm. Reid, attorney-at-law of Portsmouth, will introduce the orator of the occasion, who will be Prof. J. H. Gandy, president of the Virginia Normal school Institute of Petersburg, Va. The monument, which was placed in position in the cemetery yesterday, is said to be the first of the sort erected in the south. It stands about 20 feet high. Woodrow Wilson Thomas R. Marshall CALIFORNIA FOR WILSON Republican Chairman Rowell Concedes Golden State's Electoral Vote to President. WILSON,269 HUGHES,235 Republican Legal Lights Plan for Contests in Five States Where Vote Was Close. Western Newspaper Union News Service. New York, Nov. 10.—President Wilson has carried California and has been re-elected. Fifty hours after the polls closed in California Republican Chairman Rowell conceded the state to the President. Thus the thirteen electoral votes needed to assure the President a majority in the electoral college dropped into the Democratic column and apparently ended the suspense and anxiety of an election which has been unparalleled in American political history. Republican Chairman Wilcox, when informed that the President carried California, only replied: "I have nothing to say." Secretary Tumulty, at the summer White House at Shadow Lawn, sent the news by wireless to President Wilson on board the yacht Mayflower en route to Rhinecliff, N. Y. The California returns showed that with only forty-eight districts missing the President's plurality in the state was 2,970. Barring some wholly unexpected turnover in the incomplete states leaning toward Wilson or a change on a recount, California's acquisition to the Democratic column gave the Woodrow Wilson President 269 electoral votes without New Mexico's three. In New Mexico at midnight the President was leading by 2,634 votes with 158 districts missing, and it was not believed this advantage could be overcome by Mr. Hughes. Conceding West Virginia, New Hampshire and Minnesota to Mr. Hughes—and he was in the lead in all three—only gives him 259 votes, seven less than the required majority. With 272 votes in sight President Wilson had six to spare for a possible split of electors in California, or a sudden reversal in New Mexico. At Republican national committee headquarters it was admitted that after conferences between George W. Wickersham, former attorney general of the United States, Everett Colby of New Jersey, Mr. Hughes, Chairman Willcox and George W. Perkins of Baltimore, preparations were being made to begin legal proceedings for recounts in states where the results were close. Chairman Willcox included California, New Mexico, North Dakota, New Hampshire and Minnesota in his list of states where recounts undoubtedly would be demanded. Democratic headquarters was not behind the Republicans in preparing for legal developments. Chairman McCormick conferred with Alton B. Parker, former Democratic candidate for President; Morgan J. O'Brien, Delancey Nicoll and John B. Stanchfield, all prominent New York lawyers. It was evident that if the DRYS CLAIM FOUR STATES.

Mondell, Republican, has been re-elected by a small but safe majority. Governor John B. Kendrick, present Democratic governor, has been elected to the United States Senate over Clarence D. Clark, Republican, who has represented Wyoming in the upper house of Congress for the past twenty-five years. Thomas R.

"We saved Arkansas to the array of nineteen dry states with which we entered the campaign. The election of Barberger as governor of Utah, a Democrat favoring prohibition, I think, means prohibition by statute out there. "We are particularly pleased with the victory of woman's suffrage in South Dakota, for that means the election of officials who will make the prohibition law effective." --- THE NEW CONGRESS DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE ONE MA- JORITY IN U. S. SENATE. Incomplete Returns Give Republicans 211 Members in the House, the Democrats 215, the Progress- ives 1 and Protectionists 1. New York, Nov. 10.—Congressional election returns, which were nearly completed last night, assure President Wilson in the forthcoming administration a Democratic Senate, but, with five districts still undecided, the best that the Democrats could claim at midnight was a plurality of four votes in the House. Upon the basis of revised returns the Democrats have elected 215 members of the House and the Republicans 211. Until a late hour the Democrats had a plurality of six and a possible majority of one, but revised returns from New Jersey, indicating the defeat of Representative Thomas J. Scully by a Republican. In addition there has been elected one Independent, one Socialist, one Progressive and one Progressive-Protectionist. Four districts in West Virginia, two of them normally Democratic and two Republican, and one district in New Mexico are still undecided. If these districts do not change the Democrats will have 217 and the Republicans 214, a plurality of only three. Complete returns from a number of states give the following results in elections for members of the lower house of Congress: Candidates whose names are followed by x are re-elected.

Colorado's Congressional Delegation. Denver—There will be no change in the congressional delegation from Colorado to the lower house in Washington, all four of the districts having returned their representatives for another two-year term in Tuesday's election. The delegation includes one Republican—Congressman Timberlake of the Second district—and three Democrats. Congressman Hilliard of Denver was returned by voters of the First district by a plurality of almost 4,000 over William N. Valle, Republican, who is at present on the Mexican border, an officer in the Colorado militia. Congressman Edward Keating of Pueblo was returned from the Third district, and Congressman Taylor of Glenwood Springs from the Fourth. M. B. Chicago—James R.

Democrats Claim Entire State Ticket Has Been Chosen, With Exception of One Supreme Court Justice. —Will Control Assembly. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver, Nov. 10.—While straggling returns from over the state late last night indicated the capture of every state office by the Democrats, with the possible exception of one Supreme Court justice, reports at the same time showed that the wave of victory barely entered the State Senate, where the Democrats will have a majority of one. The situation is the same as two years ago, except that the majority of one was controlled by the Republicans. Democrats, on the other hand, claimed the election of at least thirty-five members of the House, a majority of five out of a representation of sixty-five. George W. Allen of Denver, Republican candidate for one of two Supreme Court justices to be elected, in 940 scattering precincts of the state, including Denver, was leading Samuel D. Wheeler (Dem.) by 5,074. The first of the two places for justice is conceded by the Republicans to Bailey (Dem.). who, in the same number of PETER H. BURKE Judge Julius C. Gunter. precincts, was leading Allen by 14,220. Complete unofficial returns received at the state Democratic headquarters from forty-eight of the sixty-three counties cut down Allen's lead over Wheeler to less than 1,000. That many counties, including Denver, gave Allen 95,679 and Wheeler 94,761, a lead of 918. As the returns by counties came in to the Democratic headquarters, the race between Mulnix (Rep.) and Higgins (Dem.) for state treasurer and Robinson (Rep.) and Hubbard (Dem.) for attorney general, gradually shifted in favor of the Democratic nominees. Democrats in obtaining control of the State Senate overcame an advantage of seven members, represented by Republican holdover members. The Republicans on Tuesday elected five state senators. They are Hattenbach and Starkweather from Denver, Puffer from Colorado Springs, Lines from Cannon City and Mrs. Riddle from Jefferson county. The Republicans who hold over from the Senate of the Twentieth General Assembly are Dodge, Eaton and Knauss of Denver; Candlish, Leadville; Carren, Silverton; Elliott, Colorado Springs; Hasty, Lamar; Hayden, Walsenburg; Means, Saguache; Peterson, Pueblo; Mitten, Wray, and Wilkin, Larimer. Members of the House whose election is known are: Democrats—Born, Alamosa; Ardourel and Golden, Boulder; Wright, Chaffee; McDonald, Clear Creek; Crosswhite, Douglas; Mayer, Eagle; Barlow, Garfield and Rio Blanco legislative district; Jenkins, Glipin; Thompson, Gunnison; Furrow, Hinsdale, Archuleta and Mineral; Friend, Jefferson; Best, Kiowa and Bent; Owen, Lake; Kelley, La Plata; Frisley and Lucero, Las Animas; Wilkins, Summit, Grand and Jackson; Cawfilt, Mishou and Studzinski, Pueblo; Houchens, Weld. In Denver, according to unofficial returns, eight Democrats were elected: Anderson, Crowley, Willison, Meyer, Proske, Rogers, Vallero, Yenager. Republicans—Kramer, Adams; Rockwell, Delta; Sims, Torbitt and Wilson, El Paso; Colgate, Fremont county; Banks, Larimer county; Scott, Sterling and Sedgwick legislative district; Gill, Morgan and Washington; Downing, Pitkin; Cross, San Miguel; Smith, Routt and Moffat; Foster, Pueblo; Graves, Weld. Four Republicans were elected from Denver: Harris, Baer, Steele and Linton. Mrs. Agnes Riddle of Jefferson county, Progressive candidate for secretary of state in 1914, will be the one woman member of the State Senate next winter, a distinction held in the last Senate by Helen Ring Robinson of Denver. Mrs. Evangeline Heartz of Denver, according to the unofficial tabulation of returns in Denver, has been defeated for state representative. She was a member of the House in last Legislature.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS "With a demand for the Negro in the industries there will be a lessening of Negro congestion in the big centers like New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington and St. Louis," writes Wilson Jefferson, from the Negro point of view, in the New York Evening Post. "With all of the ostracism of the trade unions, and the indifference of employers, there have still been more opportunities for earning a living in the big cities than in the towns and smaller cities. There were always openings in the big cities for Negroes as house servants, porters, hotel men and the like. And more important still there was always a large circle of friends to fall back on if temporarily out of a job. With a greater demand for his services in the smaller industrial towns and in the manufacturing districts around the big cities, there will spring up that community and neighborhood life which he so dearly loves. Besides, the employer will have him present in large enough numbers to fight any competition which might arise over any question of race or nationality. There will not be much incentive to complain about ten or fifteen Negroes in an establishment if there are other capable Negroes to take the places of those complaining. "To get a glimpse of the possibilities wrapped up in Negro labor one has only to investigate the more progressive of the manufacturing cities of the South. Birmingham, Ala., depends almost wholly upon the Negro for its unskilled and semi-skilled labor. Nashville, Atlanta, Memphis and Jacksonville do likewise. But in all of these towns, save in some instances in Birmingham, wages are too low, housing conditions are poor, and the advantages for recreation and pleasure exceedingly limited. It will be from these localities that Negroes will emigrate to the middle West and East, and to localities where wages are good and where there are opportunities for pleasure and self-improvement. No class of labor remains satisfied indefinitely under oppressive conditions. The Negro laborer is no exception to the rule. He has tried the South. He is willing to try the East and middle West. All he has awaited is a genuine call, based upon a real and lasting need. "This movement eastward and westward of unskilled Negro labor will both directly and indirectly help the Negro. The younger element, those of ambition, and of some training in the schools, will be constantly emerging from the unskilled to the semi-skilled classes, with a consequent increase in their pay rolls and a betterment in their methods of living. "A decidedly better treatment of the Negro, both in the North and in the South, will grow out of this scattering of the race. The old condition grew out of the fact that the demand for his labor has been limited and the supply unlimited. Other influences, some stinister and some not so sinister, have worked against him." Pure music for the children of today is an important factor in a nation's scheme of preparedness, in that it will make for a strong and brave race of men and women tomorrow. Such is the conclusion of David Mannes, the violinist, who owes his start in his profession to an old colored musician in the Tenderloin of an earlier New York, and who has devoted his life in large part to guilding and developing the musical genius of the Heads of colleges and secondary schools for education and training of Negroes in the United States have been invited to a conference, lasting from November 21 to 24, at the National Training school, Durham, N. C. They will be entertained at the National Training school, where it is planned to hold three conferences a day during the session, and speakers of prominence in educational circles and men who have devoted themselves to the advancement of colored people, have been invited to make addresses. Among the subjects and the speakers announced for the conference are: "Race Preparedness," an address by Bishop George W. Clinton, D, D., of Charlotte, N. C.; "A General Clearing House for Aid for Negro Schools," by Harry Andrews King, president of Clark university; "A Study of the Rural Schools of North Carolina," by Dr. A. M.

During the kaiser's visit to Mitau two Russian airmen flew over the town and dropped a number of jobs. Negro. Mr. Mannes advanced this thesis as to the importance of music to the human race, irrespective of color, while talking on a favorite theme: the possibilities of the American Negro and the rare opportunity of reaching and developing him through his fondness for music. Basing his statement on a long and intimate experience with colored students, Mr. Mannes said that the Negro invariably turned for his musical expression either to instruments upon which he could pick or to instruments of percussion, bowed instruments never having figured in the Negro's repertoire either here or in Africa. Essentially a violinist himself, Mr. Mannes is particularly interested in speculations as to what will happen when the Negro race awakens to the possibilities of the violin and the 'cello, and he likes to think that when the Negroes master the use of the bow, their management of it will approach "the fine and natural legato of their own voices." When it comes to comparing human potentialities, this musician, who was first taught by a Negro and has since made the teaching of many members of that race a labor of love, resents the drawing of a color line. As he warms to the championship of their possibilities of development through music, he pictures what the future has in store. That future may be a distant one, he readily admits, but, he adds, to dream is but to prophesy. "Ragtime is not essentially vulgar, though its text and harmonic sequence may be," he says, "The Negro himself is most sorrowful that he is thought the producer of vulgar ragtime. To my knowledge no Negro has ever written to his music words to which anyone could take exception. Where vulgarity occurs in songs attributed to colored men, it is invariably some white man who has superimposed it. Furthermore, you must acknowledge the Negro's sense of poetry. "To be sure, he is not now developed, but I would set no limit to his future growth. Recognizing his human qualities, who would deny him divine right? If you deny these human qualities, then, of course, you deny the divine attributes. I combat most earnestly the theory that the Negro's capacity for development is limited. "Not having had the opportunity to develop a musical art tradition of their own, our colored citizens must become acquainted with ours. There the difficulty lies because they must retain their natural genius and make their own music. Having no framework of their own upon which to build, their faith must rest on Bach and Beethoven and Brahms."—New York Evening Post.

In the carrying out of certain objects carefully planned by men, sometimes they forget what somebody else who is largely affected by their plans will have to say about it. While it is a good thing to see one's aims and aspirations result successfully, yet the anxiety to see our own aims triumph is often so great that we forget the larger and general interests of others, possibly of greater importance. This is not a wise way, as sometimes these personal acts or one-sided aims may be defeated, and thereby offer a revelation that the interest of the latter cause being of more importance than the former, the inevitable must necessarily result—the fall and destruction of the selfish promoters.

Follow, and the inevitable will therefore We have often come in contact with people, especially of our race, who are continually charging us with the above tendency as if a terrible crime is being engaged in (they arguing that we are not originators, but copyists and imitators), and we take this opportunity of showing the benefits and advantages to be obtained if we copy and imitate good ideas and examples set us by other races. On reliable historical records we base our contention that nations once in barbarism and heathenism, actually void of the beauty and grandeur of civilization, emerged from darkness into light by adopting measures towards their advancement which were offered them by self-sacrificing men who laid down their lives for the purpose of leaving standards and setting up perpetual monuments, which when followed, resulted in benefits that were handed down from age to age. Originators seem to be in a class by themselves, but do we ever stop to think that nothing would be heard of an original plan if it did not find acceptance and encouragement, getting the support that would give it prominence in a community. In this particular we are greatly hampered in this country, as from lack of loyalty to one another, pride in the interests of our business, etc., strongly backed up by the cruel arm of prejudice from the other side, even when we are responsible for the production of anything great and good, it is hardly ever known, and if known, for the most part so discouraged that we lose the claim and the credit of its origin. In spite of all these we must aver that it is wisdom to copy the good features and imitate the ideals of other races, as they can serve no other purpose and can bring no other results but the best, which must push us to the front, where we will take our place with others as time rolls on. Copy everything that's good; get away from the bad. The former is meritorious of success, triumph, reward; the latter spells loss and ruin, and in the majority of cases we lose to such an extent that our action is almost irretrievable and our loss irrecoverable. Business tactics, constructive policies, get-together spirits, unanimity of ideas, educational assemblies, financial combinations are some of the standards set us by other people, and surely there is everything to gain in being accused as copyists of such qualities which must bring us unlimited resources. Follow, then, that which is of good, is good, and the inevitable will therefore result. --- Learning From Tumbles.

MINERALS IN FOOD ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR PRESERVATION OF HEALTH. Physical Ailments Sure to Result When They Are Lacking—Serve Fruit, Vegetables, Milk and Eggs Liberally. Prepared by Laura Breeze of the Department of Farmers' Institutes of the University of Wisconsin. Some of the physical ailments resulting from mineral starvation are rickets, scurvy, pellagra and anemia. An anemic person has weakened vitality and resisting power, and is, therefore, a prey to colds, grippe and fevers. The foods rich in minerals are vegetables and fruits, breads and cereals made from whole grains, eggs, milk and the natural rice. In the milling of the white flours, cornmeal, some oatmeal and most cereals, the parts of the grains containing the greatest amount of mineral substance are eliminated, consequently their value as sources of mineral foods is reduced. The housewife, however, can always supply her table with fruit, vegetables, milk and eggs. There are such numerous ways of serving these foods that their appearance on the table should never become monotonous. The following recipe offers suggestions for an attractive way of serving cabbage, the mineral content of which is very high: Imperial Cabbage.—One medium-sized head of cabbage; two carrots, pared; two potatoes, pared; one cupful of cooked meat or chicken (or more, if desired); two teaspoonfuls of salt, one small onion, one-fourth cupful butter, melted; a little pepper. Remove decayed leaves of the cabbage; form a basket of the head by removing the center and allowing two layers of the outside leaves to remain attached to the core. Crisp the cabbage by allowing it to stand in cold water. Drain well. Put the cabbage removed from the center, the carrots, potatoes, onion and meat through the food grinder, add butter and seasoning. Mix all well, and fill the cabbage with the mixture. Tie the leaves in place over the stuffing with a clean string, and place the cabbage in a tightly covered baking dish and bake about one hour. There will be no need of adding water, as there is sufficient moisture in the vegetables to steam them. Apple and Rice Pudding. Peel small, tart apples, core and put them in a baking dish. Have ready one cupful of boiled rice, mix with it two cupfuls of hot milk, into which has been beaten the yolks of three eggs and one-half cupful of sugar. Stir in one-half cupful raisins, some strips of citron and, if you wish to, one-half cupful blanched almonds. Put one teaspoonful of sugar into each apple and pour this mixture over them. Put in oven, covered, and bake until the apples are tender. This pudding may be frosted with the whites of eggs or served with whipped cream. Apple Dowdy. Cut up apples in pudding dish in quarters (in eighths of apples are hard), sprinkle about four tablespoonfuls of sugar over the apples, a few drops of lemon extract and some bits of butter. Add about a tablespoonful of water. Make nice piecrust and cover. Bake about one hour Eat hot with whipped cream favored with vanilla or nutmeg. Fill dish quite full of apples, as they shrink in cooking. Car bake this Saturday and warm over if oven on Sunday. Hint on Broiling Fish Has anyone ever tried broiling fish on paper? Some call it pan-bolled. Everybody knows how fish sticks to broiler pan or any other receptacle it is cooked in, no matter how well greased. Cut thick brown paper, two inches larger than pan, so it will set well upon the sides and ends; butter and lay fish on; place pan in broiler pan and set quite close to gas. It will cook and brown deliciously and best of all, leave your pan clean.—Baltimore American. Bread and Prune Pudding. Soak a pound of prunes in warm water all day. Butter a baking dish and put in a layer of stale bread cut in thin slices and buttered a little, then a layer of stoned prunes, and so on until the dish is full, the last layer being bread. Beat two eggs with one-quarter cupful of sugar, add a pint of milk, pour over the prunes and bread, and bake one hour. Turnip Scallops. Mince beaf, mutton, duck or game very fine; add chopped onions and season to taste and a little gravy. Fill scallop shells or small cups three-quarters full and fill up with mashed turnip that has been nicely seasoned. Spread tops with soft butter and bake until nicely browned. Swiss Salad Mix one cupful of cold cooked chicken cut in cubes, one cupful of chopped English walnut meats, one cupful of French peas, one cucumber pared and cut in cubes. Marinate with French dressing, arrange on serving dish and garnish with mayonnaise dressing. Good Fudge A few drops of molasses in your fudge will prevent it from getting sugary and improves the flavor. To get the best results every ingredient should be accurately measured.

When Tobacco Was New: The finds of pipes on the sites of the camps of the parliamentary armies in England have, been numerous. It is not known whether Cromwell smoked; but Milton smoked a pipe at 9 p.m. every day before retiring. However, in some cases the Puritans contrived to introduce their religion even into pipe smoking. for an old chronicler tells of a Presbyterian minister so precise that "he would not so much as take a pipe of tobacco before that he had first sayed grace over it."

Couldn't Meet Requirements. Mose was desirous of opening a grogshop in his town, and sought a license. The commissioner listened to his plea. "All right, Mose," he said, "the fee is fifty dollars. And, of course you have to get the consent of seventy-five per cent of the people in that block." Mose looked a trifle puzzled. "Less see, sah," he said, "yed's Jim an' Sallie an' de fo' Joneses—dat's six—why, mister, dey aint seventy-five per cent of people in dat block, sah!" An infant terrible, to the great horror of her mother, once climbed up on the bishop's knee, and in her shrill, childish treble piped out: "Mr. Wilberforce, why do people call you 'Soapy Sam?'" The bishop was silent a moment, as if considering the matter, and then replied: "I don't know, my dear, really, unless it is because, though I often get into hot water, I always come out with clean hands!"—which was decidedly neat. Physiologists find that the normal body temperature, instead of being fixed, rises in the morning and afternoon and falls at night, with a daily range that may exceed 2 degrees F. Strenuous muscular exercise may cause a rise of $3\frac{1}{2}$ degrees. Even a drink of hot water may give a rise of more than 1 degree, but the increase from warm meals is seldom greater than 1 degree. Cold food or drink causes a fall, followed by a rise. A bluff sometimes works as well as a bank account until it comes to striking a balance.—Philadelphia Inquirer First Fireworks in Europe. Fireworks are said to have been first used in Europe in the city of Florence in 1360. "Do you make much money marrying eloping couples, squire," the tobacco drummer asked old Hudson Hicks, justice of the peace at Rainbow Bend, N. J.

The original use of the word "deadline" was to designate a line drawn around the inside or outside of a military prison, which no prisoner could cross without incurring the penalty of being immediately shot down. The word was especially used in the Civil war of openair incclosures or prisoners' stockades The Chronic Shopper It was a chronic woman shopper who selected some purchases in a store, asking that they be kept for her until the next day. When she returned she could not remember who waited on her. After puzzling over the matter she approached a salesgirl and asked: "Am I the woman who bought some embroidery here yesterday?" "Yes'm," replied the girl, stolidly, and turned to get it. "Favorite Son" Old Expression The expression "favorite son" in the politics of this country is hoary with age. As far back as 1789 Washington was called the "favorite son of liberty" by a New York city journalist. In 1825 John Randolph, the wif and orator of Virginia, was referred to as the "favorite son" of that commonwealth. From then on the terminology has been common.

BRAY AT BOULDER. The Mutual Literary Society, of which Mr. Fred Kinney is president, and Mr. Caleb Reeves the chairman of program, gave its first monthly concert last Tuesday at Allen Chapel. The society presented Mme. Leone Bassfield-Bray of Pueblo in recital. Despite the election day storm, a splendid audience greeted Mme. Bray. To say that everyone was delighted with the recital is but to express it mildly. Mme. Bray showed beyond a doubt her class as an artist of ability. Her interpretation of her songs was soulful and masterly. Her voice was sweet and rich; her appearance most pleasing. A brilliant future lies before Mme. Bray. Those who assisted on the program were Mr. Brickler of Colorado University, in a pleasant violin solo; Mrs. Mame Smith, in a well-presented selection from "Dunbar"; and Miss Hazel McVey with a piano selection. Miss McVey acted as accompanist for Mme. Bray and revealed some of her own talent as a musician with a future. Boulder is justly proud of Miss McVey. The Mutual Literary is to be congratulated in its excellent choice of Mme. Bray for its initial recital. President Kinney promises well in presenting each month some high-class artist of our state and race. Mr. D. Howard came up to spend a few days with his mother. Mr. Carway of Mississippi is a recent arrival in the city. Mr. Wm. Evans has gone to Oklahoma to spend a few days. A box of half a dozen opossums came to Rev. A. W. Ward last week.

USING PUBLIC INVESTING PUBLIC SERVING PUBLIC Mutual Interest Mutual Interest From a telephone standpoint the public is made up of three grand divisions, all equally interested in the growth, development and general success of our enterprise. The telephone INVESTING public, our stockholders, who furnish money with which to build plant. They are interested because they seek assurance that their investment is safe and that a fair return will be forthcoming. The telephone SERVING public, our employés, who operate the plant. They are interested because their lives are centered in their chosen vocation, and their material welfare depends upon a remuneration commensurate with the unceasing energy and sinoere purpose which they are devoting to this public service. The telephone USING public, our patrons, whom we serve. They are interested because the efficiency and adequacy of their service depends upon our ability to build plant in pace with the development of the several states, to maintain our plant at a high standard of efficiency and to pay salaries and wages sufficient to attract the most competent employés. Here is a mutuality of interest involving obligations which must be mutually shared by the entire public. The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co. CHAS. L. WHITE, POPULAR P. O. CLERK, DIES. A large per cent of Denver's population was shocked last Sunday afternoon when the news spread that Chas. White was dead. Few knew he was ill and none was prepared for news of his death. He was born in Chicago and moved to Pueblo in his boyhood, where he attended the public schools. A printer by trade he worked as typesetter on a Pueblo daily and later published a race paper in the same city. He also held a responsible position with one of Pueblo's leading banks. Prior to coming into the Denver P. O. he was a respected employé of the Santa Fe. During his seventeen years as clerk in the Denver P. O. he has made an enviable record. His close attention to duty and his genial good nature made him a favorite with employer and fellow workmen. Never contentious, he studiously avoided all arguments, had a smile for every one, regardless of feeling and every man felt that Charley was his friend. He was an Odd Fellow, a member of the P. O. Mutual Relief Association and well insured in one of the old line companies. Only recently he purchased a beautiful home in Humboldt street. In every life there is some lesson taught and in the writer's mind the greatest lesson taught by the life of Chas. White was that he was the very embodiment of the principle advocated by the late Booker Washington; that is, to always have more than you seem to have and always be more than you seem to be. Like Julius Fields and John Watkins, those two brilliant co-workers who preceded him to the Great Beyond, Chas. Lloyd White also died an untimely death, yet in the vigor of his manhood. A wife, a mother and a sister are the relatives that survive him. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon from his late residence, the Rev. Ward, Rev. H. B. Brown and the Odd Fellows officiating.

GREAT WASTE STOPPED Coke By-Products Reach Value of $30,000,000 a Year. Nearly Eight Million Dollars Worth of Benzol, Most of Which Formerly Was Thrown Away, Marketed in 1915. According to statistics which have been gathered by Uncle Sam's geological survey, the recovery of the valuable by-products from American coke manufacture made big advances in 1915. The value of these by-products last year is estimated at $30,000,000, a large increase over the previous high-water mark of $17,500,000 in 1914. The chances are that the savings from the coke ovens this year will far surpass even the $20,000,000 for 1915. In spite of the fact that there were material increases in the output and value of gas, tar and ammonia, which was to be expected with a greater output of by-product coke, the increase in benzol products was remarkable and presented the most interesting feature for the year in the coke industry. The value of these products rose from less than $1,000,000 in 1914 to more than $7,760,000 in 1915, according to officials of the survey. While benzol has been recovered in this country from coke-oven gas for a number of years, prior to 1915 the market was small and the prices low. The awakening of the American people to the need for a dye industry in the United States coming about mostly because of the great shortage that has existed and still exists, and to a realization that such an industry cannot spring full-grown from nothing, but must be fostered and developed, is now a well-known story. Few are aware, however, of the progress that has been made within a year in laying the foundations for future progress in that industry. Under the spur of almost fabulous prices survey officials have found that retort coke ovens throughout the country quickly installed elaborate benzol-recovery systems and now save the valuable oils that not very long ago were being buried or wasted or, if saved, were begging for a market. In 1914, according to statistics, there were 14 benzol plants in this country, but they were all controlled by one company. Last year 16 additional coke plants were equipped with benzol apparatus and the output was greatly increased. The incentive for putting in this equipment was, of course, the opportunity to contract at war prices for benzol and other similar materials for use in making explosives for the European countries. When the demand from that source shall have ceased the United States will be in possession of a large supply of the raw materials from which dyes and chemicals are made, and will be able, if trade conditions are right, to enter into the manufacture of these essential materials on an ever-increasing scale. Department Doing Good Work The United States employment service, the work of which is performed under the supervision of the division of information of the bureau of immigration, department of labor, has completed the first full year of its activities. During that year 25,645 employers filed application for 107,331 workers. In the same period 184,032 persons applied for work, of which 84,983 were referred to employment and 75-156 were actually employed. Cooling "Air-Cooled" Guns. One of the many things which the United States soldiers have learned on the Mexican border is that a certain type of machine gun which is supposed to be air-cooled scarcely cools at all when subjected to stendy service for any length of time. Water is now applied to these guns with long-handled sponges which have been provided for the soldiers for this purpose. DIMINISH ILLNESS Uncle Sam's Health Officers Conduct Big Campaign. Aim to Banish Typhoid Fever and Malaria From Country and Prevent Water-Borne and Insect-Carried Disease. To banish typhoid fever from the face of America, eliminate malaria, prevent water-borne and insect-carried diseases, cut down the death rate and sickness rate and boost the happiness product of America a thousandfold—such is the big job undertaken by Uncle Sam's public health service, a job bigger than the digging of the Panama canal or building the government railroad in Alaska. For two years the work of studying rural sanitation has been going on under supervision of Dr. L. L. Lumsden of the public health service and 20 field officers. The method pursued is to select one rural county in each state and make an intensive survey of health conditions. Up to date 17 counties in as many states have been surveyed. In a few more years every state will have been studied. In one county alone, Greenville, S. C., more than 12,000 farm homes were visited. The public health service knows all about each of these farms; where the dwelling house is located, how it is constructed; whether it is screened; where the well is located, or whether the water comes from a spring; where the water supply is obtained with reference to the stable and hog pen. It knows whether there has ever been a case of typhoid on the farm and why. The public health officials have talked with farmers and wives on every one of these farms in the 17 counties. In every one of the counties the death rate from typhoid fever has been cut between 30 and 90 per cent. In most instances the result of the survey has been to convince the farmers of the necessity of inforcing stricter-er sanitary regulations. LESS COLORING USED IN TEA Uncle Sam's Inspectors Rejected Only Small Quantity at Ports on This Ground During Past Year. The annual report of George F. Mitchell, Uncle Sam's supervising tea examiner, whose inspectors examine every pound of tea coming into the United States to determine both its quality and purity, shows that less coloring matter is now being used in tea. What is known as the "Read test," to determine whether teas contain coloring matter, affecting their purity, was first used in 1912, at which time new regulations and standards for imported teas also became effective. The first year of its use 513,633 pounds, more than 50 per cent of the total importations, were rejected on account of artificial coloring matter. The percentage has decreased until the last fiscal year it was very small. The tea examiner says that it is believed the use of artificial coloring in China has practically stopped, the Chinese government having made many appeals to the people on the ground that the practice is deceptive and unfair. In the last fiscal year, while only 2,163 pounds of tea were rejected on account of artificial coloring, 1,766,410 pounds were rejected as being below quality. Peculiar Maine Lighthouse. Far off the coast of Maine is a jagged ledge of rock, known as Saddle-back island, on which the only means of landing is by a derrick to which a sort of chair is attached. A lighthouse is maintained on this ledge, managed by a keeper and two assistants with ten men on duty at all times. Each Letter Passes Through Many Hands Before It Reaches Destination. SEPARATION IS BIGGEST JOB Assortment Is Made First by Large Districts and Then by States and Cities to Which Missives Are Addressed. Uncle Sam's mail service is a great nopper into which millions pour their sorrows, joys and achievements in the form of letters and postals. In order to dispatch these promptly to their various destinations they must first be separated. In the larger post offices of the country, owing to the practice of business houses mailing the bulk of their mail at the close of the day, great congestion would occur in the mailing division in handling the vast quantity of mail were not some systematic method of separation in operation. Experts of the post office department are now and have been for some time engaged in revising the separation schemes at the larger offices, with a view to lessening the handling of the mail and bringing into use all the latest and most up-to-date methods. The banker has a coin-separating device which mechanically sorts the coins according to denomination; the fruit grower has a device for separating his fruit according to size, but up to date the postal service must depend on human hands to separate the mails. Letter Starts on Way. Deposit a letter in a box in any eastern city for dispatch to a western city—for example, Seattle, Wash. The mail collector on foot takes it with other letters from the box to a central storage collection box in which other foot collectors deposit their mail. An automobile collector on a regular schedule and circuit takes the full bags from the storage collection box, leaves empty bags in their place, and proceeds to the central post office, where the mail is transported by a mechanical conveyor from the mail platform to the "facing" tables, upon which it is dumped in great heaps and then "faced"—that is the addresses and stamps are placed in the same relative position in order properly to feed them through a mechanical canceling device at the rate of some 500 a minute. From the canceling tables the letters are conveyed in trays over a mechanical conveyor, similar to those used in any modern department store, to what are known as the "primary separation" cases; usually each case has from twenty to thirty separators, which, as the name indicates, is the first separation given to the letters. Letters for Seattle are thrown into a box labeled "western states." Separated Again. From the "primary separation" cases the letters are again conveyed mechanically to the final separation cases, where a much larger force of clerks gives the letters their final separation for dispatch. Seattle letters go to the "western states" cases, where mail for that section of the country is separated and tied in packages; packages for the larger cities being made up separately. As fast as the Seattle box of each clerk working the "western states" cases is filled it is emptied and the letters tied in bundles bearing a slip showing the dispatching officer, date, hour of mailing, and the name and number of dispatching clerk. If any letter for a city other than Seattle is found in the package when it reaches its destination, the error is recorded on the slip and is eventually charged against the dispatching clerk's record. Bundles of letters for Seattle, if sufficient in number, are placed in a locked pouch and labeled direct to Seattle, otherwise they are placed with other bundles of letters for cities in that state or locality in a pouch labeled to the proper railway post office—another term for mail cars—for another separation. Letters for the smaller post offices in the state of Washington are tied in packages labeled "Washington state," and all such packages of letters are distributed on the railway cars en route, running west and northwest from Chicago, and dispatched to the proper connecting mail trains for final delivery. Postal clerks on mail trains, or railway post offices, entering large cities just prior or during delivery hours must be familiar with the delivery systems of these large cities, so that all letters may be distributed to insure prompt delivery upon reaching the city post office. Separated at Destination. Undistributed packages of letters for any city, on reaching the post office, are mechanically conveyed to the city primary separation cases, where not only these letters, but those mailed for local delivery receive their first city separation to station districts prior to the final separation by other clerks to the various letter carrier routes and general delivery box sections of the office. The letters are then distributed by the postman in his pouch, and when he departs the letters are arranged so that the first letter for delivery is on the top of the package and the last letter for delivery on the bottom. Most of Larger Municipalities Engaged in Work. Milk Inspection, Visiting Nurses and Infant-Welfare Stations Among the Most Important Features Of the 509 American cities with 10,000 or more population, over two-thirds have reported to Uncle Sam's children's bureau that some kind of work affecting the health of babies is carried on by the municipality from public funds, according to the tabular analysis of infant-welfare work by public and private agencies in the United States which has just been published by the bureau. In 20 cities this work is so highly organized that a special division devoted to child hygiene is included in the city health department. Cities of every type are found among those reporting special municipal health work for babies. In general it appears that municipal work is more highly developed in large cities than in small, and yet two cities with less than 100,000 population—Duluth, Minn., and Montclair, N. J.,—are found among the 20 having a municipal division of child hygiene. The others are Boston, Buffalo, N. Y.; Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, O.; Detroit, Mich.; Jersey City, N. J.; Kansas City, Mo.; Los Angeles, Cal.; Milwaukee; Nashville, Tenn.; New York, Newark, N. J.; Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Providence, R. L.; Seattle, Wash.; Toledo, O. Babies and mothers are helped by the municipalities in various ways. It is true that 255 cities report milk inspection as the only municipal activity directly affecting babies, but 100 municipalities employ a nurse to visit the homes and teach the mother what to do for her baby, and to help her when the baby is sick. Special municipal nurses are assigned in 63 cities to the care and instruction of prospective mothers. In 60 cities infant-welfare stations are maintained with doctors in attendance, and mothers bring their babies for weighing and examination and advice about feeding and general care. Many cities have both infant-welfare stations and visiting nurses. Classes for instructing older school girls in infant hygiene are conducted by 44 municipalities. Many state departments of health and extension divisions of state universities also report extensive educational work in child hygiene, such as lending exhibits, lantern slides and films, distributing pamphlets and sending out lectures, maintaining a regular press service and conducting special campaigns for complete birth registration. Kansas, New Jersey, New York and Ohio have organized special divisions of child hygiene within the state departments of health. In Massachusetts infant-welfare work is a well-defined feature of the work of the division of hygiene. EACH ROCK TELLS OWN STORY By Putting All This Information Together Uncle Sam's Geologists Learn How Earth Was Formed. Every rock tells its own story to Uncle Sam's geologists, who are constantly at work studying the formation of the ground in various parts of the country. In few places is the story of the upbuilding of the earth's crust so plainly and impressively told as in the Grand Canyon of Arizona, whose walls form a great natural geological section, in which each layer of rock is in its original position relative to those above and below it. As a rule the geologist who would decipher the records of the rocks must get a bit here and a bit there. He may find the edges of some beds exposed in a river bluff and others sticking out on a steep mountain side. He determines by fossils or other means the order in which the beds were deposited, and by putting all his information together he constructs what he calls the columnar section for the district in which he is working—that is, a section showing the order, thickness and character of the beds. Such a section discloses the strata that form the upper part of the earth's crust at that place, just as a slice of layer cake shows at a glance the various layers of which it is composed. After a number of districts in a region have been studied and their general columnar sections determined, the geologic history of the region can be learned by comparing these sections, just as the engineer who is drilling for low-grade copper ores compares his drill records and thus learns the outlines of the ore body. Such a comparison of the beds at one place and another shows how certain beds change in character and thickness from place to place or even thin out and disappear. It enables the geologist to draw some conclusions as to the former distribution of land and sea, to distinguish the deposits laid down in deep water from those spread by rivers over their flood plains, and to reconstruct in imagination the course of events at a time long before the beginning of the Grand Canyon. First American Tariff. The first tariff act in our country was signed by President Washington on July 4, 1789, near the very beginning of his first administration. Hamilton was the author of the measure, which provided for specific duty on some 47 articles, and ad valorem rates on other groups of articles. OIL INSPECTION LAW DECLARED BOON TO STATE AUTO ISTS BY JAMES DUCE. Oil Inspector Says Act Has Saved $20,000 and Prevented Ruin of Many Engines. Denver. — Upward of $20,000 has been saved to the owners of automobiles and the ruin of many engines prevented through the operation of the state oil inspection act which has resulted in the elimination from Colorado of fake gasoline improvers, according to the report of State Oil Inspector James Duce, now being compiled. The oil inspection bureau has turned $20,000 in license fees into the state revenue above expenses. Gasoline sold in Colorado is declared to be of an average better quality than sold elsewhere, because of the heavy fine involved in detection for mixing oils. The report will relate that forty-eight preparations have been debarred from the state through the bureau's refusal to approve labels submitted under the act. The report, when completed, will contain the names of all the preparations approved and disapproved by the bureau, together with the reason for exclusion. No question of laboratory analysis comes before the bureau under the act, which states that the bureau must approve the label of the concoction before it is offered for sale. Collects $3,982.32 Inheritance Tax. Of $3,982.32 paid in inheritance taxes at the state treasurer's office in one day, the estate of Charles W. Harkness of Denver paid the major portion, $3,021, the cash valuation of his property being $173,429. Mr. Harkness died last May. His estate consisted principally of 470 shares of stock in the Continental Oil Company, valued at $148,000, and twelve shares of preferred stock and 414 shares of common stock in the Colorado Power Company, together appraised at $12.870. Other settlements included the estates of Charlotte Ramsey of Boulder—$45.30 on $24,960; George Hildebrandt of Rio Blanco county—$146.02 on $27,305.21; Stephen M. Griswold of Denver—$266.60 on $7,075; Lewis Stevens of Arapahoe county—$352.32 on $14,235, and John Henry Betz of Denver—$151.08 inheritance tax on a valuation of $6,191.06. Anthracite Freight Rates Reduced. Through informal action, and without the necessity of conducting an investigation and having a formal hearing, the State Public Utilities Commission has secured the following reductions in anthracite coal freight rates on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad from the Crested Butte mining district to the following points: Montrose, from $3 to $2.50; Lake City, $3 to $2.50; Cimarron, $2.75 to $2.50; Ridgway, $3.25 to $2.90; Ouray, $3.35 to $3; Olathe, $3.15 to $2.65; Delta, $3.25 to $2.75; Hotchkiss, $3.50 to $3; Paonia, $3.50 to $3; Whitewater, $3.40 to $3.25; Mears Junction, $2.85 to $2.75. These reductions bring the anthracite coal freight rates into line with the soft coal freight rates recently ordered into effect by the commission. Forest Reserves for Playgrounds. That Denver should establish playgrounds in the forest reserves and thus be in line with California cities is the opinion of District Forester Smith Riley, who returned from a tour of the Pacific coast. There are any number of areas within forty-five to sixty miles of Denver that could be easily utilized for playground and recreation purposes, either municipal or private, and at small expense, he says. Los Angeles has already established a playground on a national forest domain. Army Office Transferred to Border Maj. H. B. Nelson of the United States army, who has been stationed at Fort Logan for the last two years, has been transferred by the war department to the Third infantry, and will join his regiment on the border. Hod Carriers Given Raise The plaster contractors of Denver granted an increase of 25 cents a day in pay to the 200 hod carriers in their employ. Liquor Shipments Show Decrease. Liquor shipments into Colorado for the month of September, reports of which have just been compiled at the state house, show a decrease of 134 over the preceding thirty days. The total was 26,725. Thirty-five counties in the state share in this decrease, but Denver and El Paso counties report increases of forty and 203 shipments respectively. August is the first month since prohibition went into effect which has shown a decrease. Demurrage Rates Advanced. Demurrage charges have been increased to $3 a day in New Mexico in accordance with an order from the Public Utilities Commission of that state, according to word received by the Colorado Utilities Commission. The action of the New Mexico commission has been taken in response to a telegram sent from Colorado urging higher demurrage charge to force shippers of that state to release cars, which belong on roads in this state, as rapidly as possible. FOREIGNERS LEFT IN PARRAL WHEN HERRERA FLED HAVE NOT BEEN HEARD FROM. BANDITS AT LA MULA BATTLE BETWEEN CARRANZA TROOPS AND VILLISTAS RE- PORTED NEAR DORADO. Western Newspaper Union News Service. El Paso, Tex.—As no news has been received here for ten days of the Americans known to be in the Parral and Magistral mining districts, fears for their safety have increased. Ten Americans were known to be in Parral before its reported evacuation by Gen. Herrera. Nothing has been heard of them since Oct. 28. Eight Americans and other foreigners have likewise been cut off from communication in the Magistral mines. The Alvarado Company is unable to confirm the report that T. G. Hawkins of the company had reached Torreon en route to Eagle Pass, Tex. Another report of Mexican origin is that Gen. Herrera has not left Parral as reported, but drove Villa's band to Dorado, twenty-five miles south, where its rout was completed by Carranza forces from Escalon. Unconfirmed reports of a battle between the Villa bandits and the reorganized Carranza troops at Dorado, Chihuahua, between Parral and Jiminez, have been received here by United States government agents and by Carranza officials. The reports state Gen. Francisco Murgula and Gen. Luis Herrera commanded the Carranza forces which marched against the Villa bandits in the vicinity of Parral. Dorado is twenty-five miles northeast of Parral. A report was also received from Chihuahua City that Edgar Koch, German consular agent at Parral, was either killed or was being held for ransom by Villa bandits in the vicinity of Santa Rosalia. Koch is believed to have started from Parral with the $50,000 worth of silver bars for an American mining company. This silver is reported to have been taken from him at Santa Rosalia by Villa bandits, and a later report says Koch had been executed. A report that 150 bandits claiming to be followers of Francisco Villa, are at La Mula pass, south of Ojinaga, Chihuahua, has caused much excitement across the river in the Mexican border town. Many Mexican families are leaving Ojinaga for Presidio, and the Mexican customs authorities have brought the customs records to the American side of the border. Preparations are being made by the Carranza garrison under Col. Riojas to defend the town. Colorado's Congressional Delegation. Denver—The will be no change in the congressional delegation from Colorado to the lower house in Washington, all four of the districts having returned their representatives for another two-year term in Tuesday's election. The delegation includes one Republican—Congressman Timberlake of the Second district—and three Democrats. Congressman Hilliard of Denver was returned by voters of the First district by a plurality of almost 4,000 over William N. Valle, Republican, who is at present on the Mexican border, an officer in the Colorado militia. Congressman Edward Keating of Pueblo was returned from the Third district, and Congressman Taylor of Glenwood Springs from the Fourth. PROMOTION BOARD NAMED Nine Admirals to Select Line Officers of Navy for Promotion Washington—Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who returned to Washington, announced the appointment of a board of nine admirals to select line officers of the navy for promotion under the provisions of the naval increase act. The personnel of the board follows: Admiral Henry T. Mayo, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet; Vice Admiral Dewitt Coffman, Rear Admirals Austin M. Knight, Nathaniel R. Usher, Frank F. Fletcher, Walter McLean, Augustus F. Fechteler, Albert Gleeves and Albert W. Grant. The board will hold its first meeting in the navy building, Dec. 2. Yearly Cattle Loss Big. Washington. — Losses aggregating $212,000,000 through diseases of animals is sustained in the United States yearly. Much of that loss is preventable, Department of Agriculture experts declare. British Capture Somme Village Berlin.—British attacks between Le Sars and Gueudecourt on the Somme front were broken up by the German fire, the war office announced Wednesday. South of the Somme the Germans lost possession of the village of Presscire. The Rumanians gained further ground on the Transylvania front in the Tulghes sector, it is announced officially. Near Bolza pass the Austro-German forces recaptured positions taken recently by the Rumanians. CONDENSATION OF FRESH NEWS THE LATEST IMPORTANT DIS PATCHES PUT INTO SHORT, CRISP PARAGRAPH5. STORY OF THE WEEK SHOWING THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS IN OUR OWN AND FOREIGN LANDS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. ABOUT THE WAR On the Somme front Tuesday the British made an attack near Eaucourt L'Abbaye but were immediately beaten back, the war office announced at Berlin. Near Rothenthurm pass the Austrians and Germans advanced and took more than 1,000 prisoners. Near Vulcan pass further ground was gained, according to Berlin. The capture of a Russian bridge head on the Stokhod is reported by the war office. On the northern part of the front, between Dvinsk and Lake Narocz, Russian artillery is displaying marked activity. The Bucharest war office announces that Rumanian forces in Dobrudja have compelled the retirement of Teutonic forces, which in their retreat set fire to several villages. The villages burned were Daeni, Garlici, Rosman and Gaidar. Berlin announces officially that the central powers have agreed to grant independence and a constitutional monarchial government to Poland at the conclusion of the war and that plans for stabilizing the government will be placed in effect at once. After more than a week of doubt concerning operations in the Dobrudja region of Rumania, where the Teutonic allies had been marching almost unimpeded northward from the Black sea to the Danube, comes the report that the Rumanians have taken the offensive, probably aided by Russians, and compelled the enemy to retreat at several points. On the Transylvania front, however, the Rumanians in the Jilul valley, who for some time had been holding the upper hand over the Austro-Germans, forcing them to give ground, have now been stopped, the Teutons having brought up reinforcements. WASHINGTON The department of justice appealed to the Supreme Court from the decision in the anti-trust suit against the American Can Company, which Federal Judge Rose of Maryland declined to dissolve. Freight tariffs proposing increased rates ranging from 5 to 7 cents per 100 pounds in the iron and steel traffic between Chicago, Peoria, St. Louis and Kansas City, and Des Moines, St. Paul, Duluth and other points in the Western trunk line territory, were suspended by the interstate commerce commission from Nov. 10 until March 10, pending investigation. State Department officials said that the American government cannot officially recognize the newly proclaimed kingdom of Poland. Regardless of the action of the central powers of Europe in declaring the independence of Poland, the area involved still occupies the status of "captured territory," consequently the future position of Poland must be settled in the peace negotiations. In a statement announcing virtual completion of its investigation of news print paper prices, the federal trace commission declares that during the first half of this year, when prices already were soaring to unprecedented figures, the average cost of producing news print paper in domestic mills was less than $1.65 a hundred pounds, or below the average cost in the last three years.

TEACHERS WITH BRAINS SCHOOLS BIGGEST NEED, DECLARES HOWARD C. ELLIOTT. Chancellor of Montana University Advocates Abolishment of Principals and Primary Grades. Denver.—As a parting shot at the present system of education, Chancellor Howard C. Elliott of the University of Montana told the teachers of the Colorado State Association, at its final session, that, if he could have his way, he would conduct schools without principals and would abolish all the grades from the first to the eighth. "Our present educational system has become a piecework organization. In our highly specialized manner of working, we take the child and teach him more kinds of branches than you and I know, and we lose sight of that great force of personality in our work. If I could have my way I would have one teacher take the elementary work of the child up to the eighth grade and I would make that teacher responsible for that child. I want to bring out the fact that there is little need of formal teaching in a schoolroom. "We have been trying to get that idea for twenty years, but in every case where we have eliminated one branch we have added two. I believe that my boys can learn all the arithmetic they will need in a half hour a day for a few years, and it is ten to one that they will forget half of that. It is high time that the business of teaching is gotten into the hands of the teachers and out of the hands of the trustees and principals and school boards, which in my opinion are the impedimenta of the present system of education." Mr. Elliott said that he believed the greatest work which educators had to do in the coming era was to bring the newspapers of the country to the realization of their power and the good they can be in education. "Partisanship is the bane of the newspaper in its relation to education," he said. "A partisan paper can tear down in a week more than the whole educational system can build up. We must work thru the press and show how it must help us in building up the morality of the people and the children." The meeting just closed has been the largest in point of attendance ever held and educators of the state say that greater interest has been shown than ever before. Twenty-five Cattle Killed in Wreck. Denver.—A cattle train and a coal train on the Colorado & Southern railway collided near Burns Junction, fifteen miles north of Denver, with the result that A. S. Herbert and J. Conroe, the engineers, suffered fractured ankles, other members of the crew sustained cuts and bruises, about twenty-five head of cattle were killed and the two engines demolished. The cause of the accident was said to be a misunderstanding of orders. The trains crashed into each other head-on while going at a good rate of speed. The members of the crews saved their lives by jumping before the collision. The shock of the impact killed many of the cattle, and others had to be shot. The accident took place at almost the same spot where a head-on freight collision occurred about a week ago. Cow Tramples Woman. Johnstown—Mrs. Jake Neisent, wife of a farmer living near here, was trampled by an enraged cow.

Admission 10 Cents DAY OR NIGHT VOGUES AND VANITIES BY JULIA BOTTOMLEY Two of the New Long Coats. Perhaps you are looking for a coat which you will enjoy wearing in the evening and expect to press into service for afternoon occasions. In this case you might turn attention to velvet with the assurance that your judgment is directed to the right quarter. Velvet stands midway between cloth and fur, having a restricted following of its own. At its best it is fur-trimmed or made so that it can be conveniently worn with a fur set. It almost goes without saying that "velvet" includes velveten and that most of the coats made of either material are intended for evening wear. They are sumptuous affairs, in new or familiar colors, including robin's-egg blue, moss and light greens, coffee color, chartreuse, sapphire, etc. Nearly all are trimmed with furs in the usual colors, or undyed, and white fox poses on coats in the lighter tones. For those who like eccentricities there are furs dyed in unusual colors. A coat of velvet, trimmed with skunk S J Something New In Matched Sets. Faille silk and no end of work, with yarn flowers and kolinsky fur combined to make a hat and muff. With a narrow scarf, or high collar, of kolinsky about the neck, the wearer may achieve a very original and elegant set that no amount of money can exceed for smartness. There are many such sets, usually of two pieces (a neckpiece and muff) made by putting together fur and cloth, fur and velvet, or fur and silk. A hat is brought into the scheme of things by a collar of fur, or, as in the set pictured, the hat is made to match the muff and the neckpiece is adapted to these two pieces. Collars are of many varieties, and muffs are fashionable in the pillow and the melon shapes. None of the latter are very large, although they may be draped with extra pieces of fur by way of added enrichment. The cloths used include broadcloth, velours, Roliva, and other weaves, and color is an important consideration when one contemplates a matched set. fur, is pictured, and one of velvetelem trimmed with silk braid, to be worn with a separate set of furs. In the fur-trimmed coat handsome buttons of dark mother-of-pearl and silver filigree accomplish the front fastening; one of them at the collar and one at the waistline. The coat fastens a little to one side. Except for a novel management at the shoulders there is nothing unusual in the manner of constructing it. Here the back is extended, overlapping the front in rounded and corded edges. The skirt portion is set to the body with a heavy cord. The lining is of old-gold satin, but its color may be left to the discretion of the weaver. The brief description of the velveteen coat is given in the picture. It is full and straight hanging and its owner may or may not like to add to these entirely correct details a mention of plain bands of silk braid which would not be missed if they were not there. ```markdown ``` Linings are in contrasting colors, ano soft, plain satin is used for them. Having disposed of the matter of cloth and lining, that of color must be considered. It will be determined partly by the kind of fur to be used. These small sets offer a promising way to make the best of old style furs that show signs of wear or are too antiquated to be worn and too good to be discarded. And they hold out enticing possibilities to the clever woman who would add a smart asset to her winter wardrobe. In the set shown here fallle silk is closely shirred to make a covering for the hat crown and the muff. It is in a saffron shade and the decorative flowers and foliage are made of yarn in the same color. The hat is faced with fur and the ends of the muff finished with bands of it. The collar is the simplest imaginable—merely a straight, wide band fastened near the back of the neck, where two short tails finish this particular bit of fasbion's history.
