THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY How The War Brings Opportunities to the Negro Race VOL. XXIII. How The Bring's tunitie Neg NOBODY thought of predicting that war in Europe would extend itself into the Negro problem of the United States. But the war cut off the supply of foreign immigrant labor. Now labor agents are representing that Northern industries can use 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 colored laborers the coming year, and evidences of a large migration have already accumulated. It was reported to a recent Negro conference in Washington that more than 500,000 Negroes had come North in the last six months. Savannah alone is said to have lost 3,000 colored males ranging from 16 to 60 years of age. In an effort to stop the exodus, Montgomery, Ala., authorities passed an ordinance providing fines and imprisonment of anybody convicted of enticing, persuading or influencing any laborer to leave that city for employment at any other place. Various Southern papers advocate legislation against "unscrupulous" labor agents, and call for measures to prevent migration. With some exceptions the Southern press advises the Negro that in the long run he is better off in the South than anywhere else, and fears the loss of colored labor as a very serious disturbance of industrial conditions. The Macon, Ga., Telegraph criticizes petty police persecution of Negroes as a contributing cause of the local exodus which it calls the most pressing thing before the state today. "We must have the Negro in the South. The black man is fitted by nature, by centuries of living in it, to work contentedly, effectively and healthily during the long summers of semi-tropical and tropical countries. He has been with us so long that our whole industrial, commercial and agricultural structure has been built on a black foundation. It is the only labor we have, it is the best we possibly could have—if we lose it, we go bankrupt!" A considerable redistribution of the Negro race throughout the states is an unexpected phenomenon of far-reaching importance. This new form of the Negro issue is widely discussed. The Negro's migration will not only be his "second emancipation," according to the Chicago Herald, but "it may be the prelude to a new emancipation for the South." "The feeling of race antagonism in the South will inevitably be relieved. Furthermore, the Southern states will necessarily progress along mechanical and industrial lines. The fact that labor in the South has been cheap has retarded both the Negro and the whites. Labor-saving machinery has not been installed as rapidly as in other sections where human effort meant the expenditure of more dollars. The wage competition with the North, now feared, will have wholesome results. The process of dividing large farms and of attracting immigrant settlers is likely to be enhanced. Altogether a new civilization may be created. The gist of much Northern comment is expressed by the Dayton, O., News, which admits that there is a good deal to be said on both sides of the question as to whether it is better for the colored man to leave the South. "But the only thing the South can consistently do to meet the competition of the North in the matter of inducements to the Negro is to pay as good wages and to furnish as good working conditions as the Northern employer." The dominant note in Negro comment on the significance of the exodus is emphasis upon the big opportunity that has been opened to the colored race. But bitterness is not absent. A New York Age editorial reads: "We have pointed out that the Negro does not remain where he is unjustly and brutally treated because he is indifferent to that treatment. He ```markdown ``` THE MAY CLOTHING COMPANY will be open every evening next week until 10 o'clock for the accommodation of its patrons and the advantage afforded Xmas shopper.

"These opportunities are now opening for him in the North, and it will take something more than 'exodus laws' to keep him from leaving the South. It will take a willingness on the part of the Southern white people to accord the Negro better treatment; and that means better wages, better schools, better police protection, less police persecution, less brutal and unnecessary discrimination, and a stamping out of lynching. In a word, it means the treatment of the Negro as a fellow human being and an American citizen." The letter of a Florida colored man to the Montgomery, Ala., Advertiser contains these paragraphs: "Why should the South raise such objections to the jobless man seeking the manless job, especially when it has held that jobless man up to the ridicule of the world as trifling, shiftless and such a burden to the South?" "Now that the opportunity has come to the Negro to relieve the South of some of its burden, and at the same time advance his own interest, a great hue and cry is started that it must not be allowed, and the usual and foolish DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 16 1916 state Hist & Nat Hist Societ state House THE DENVER CHAMBER O ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SATURD method of repressive legislation is brought into play. . . . "The Macon Telegraph says of the Negro exodus: 'If we lose it, we go bankrupt.' Yet it is the same paper that only a few months ago was advocating the sending of 100,000 Negroes into Mexico to conquer the 'mongrel breed,' and at the same time rid the South of that many worthless Negroes. How different the song now. "The world war is bringing many changes and a chance for the Negro to enter broader fields. With the 'tempting bait' of higher wages, shorter hours, better schools and better treatment, all the preachments of the so-called 'race-leaders' will fall on deaf ears." The most comprehensive expression of hope for the Negro raised by the direct and indirect effects of the war appears in an article by Wilson Jefferson contributed to the N. Y. Evening Post. While the war lasts and in the following years of necessary reconstruction work in Europe, foreign workers will be kept over there. Consequently our source of unskilled labor supply must be the over-plentiful Negro labor of the South, according to Mr. Jefferson. The Southern wage has been low because colored labor was so plentiful. The migration will react on Southern conditions. "In the South the poorer whites will be forced to do some of the harder tasks of the shop and field, and will be forced to do what they have never hitherto done: fit themselves for house work and other work calling for more or less personal service. And it will all work to the Negroes gain. The employer will not be able to get along without the help of both, and the white worker will not be willing to work for the Negro wage. "Some of the trades in the South offer an example of white and Negro co-operation. In them Negro and white unions affiliate for their mutual protection. As a consequence, in the building trades, for example, the wage compares favorably with the scale in other parts of the country. Among unskilled workers there will be unions and affiliations of a similar nature, and a much higher wage scale will prevail as a result." Nothing has hampered the Negro as a race more than the inability of its great body of workers to make a decent living, Mr. Jefferson insists. He believes that most people do not realize how indifferent the average Southern employer has been to the needs of his workmen. "The laws give these men absoluteiy no protection. The bulk of them are as capable and live as clean lives as do a corresponding class among any people. They are as ambitious. Given a fair chance they will no doubt prove more efficient as all-around workers than any class of foreigners we might import.' While the white South has been willing to feed and praise the Negroes, "as servants," says Mr. Jefferson, it has never been willing to pay them very much in wages. "The one and two-room hut has grown out of this state of affairs. If, as it often happened, the black man rebelled, he was always taunted with the more or less truthful assertion that the North and West did not want him and his 'ways.' What was not told him was that the black man's 'ways' were largely a result of the white man's ways. But more and more he is finding this out for himself. He is rapidly learning that $40 a month and regular habits are infinitely better than $15 or $20 a month and irregular habits. In short he is learning to be willing to cast off the loose methods of the South for 'Yankee' ways because of the difference it makes in his pay-roll and in his condition of living. . . . "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 most 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." Furthermore Mr. Jefferson argues that American employers can trust Negro employés. "The Negro represents the sanest, safest group—too safe, we think, sometimes—in this country, and he has proved it on more than one occasion. He can be trusted. Many of the employer class have had their eyes opened with respect to much of our foreign born labor. A great deal of it is much too keen (to use our American expression) for ordinary, everyday uses. Even with less effective results to begin with, the Negro in the end would prove more tractable, and, what is more important, more genuinely interested in the advancement and prosperity of his employer." Unforesseen, the way is opening for the Negro to win a better place and hold it on industrial and economic grounds in this country. In Europe, too, the war has brought the blacks of the British and French colonies to the front, not merely as fighters but "apt and tractable" industrial workers. From the shaking up of race relations the world over, Negroes, Mr. Jefferson thinks, may reasonably expect an open and avowed policy of help and uplift long waited for.—Current Opinion. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` JOSLINS, THE SANTA CLAUS STORE, will be open Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings of next week until 10 o'clock for the benefit of their customers and others of the public.

Both men are employed at the Illinois Central shops. Spurred on by their wives a number of members of the race armed themselves with Winchesters and revolvers, buckled their belts around their waists and went to the home of Elkins, where they guarded him thru the night. The mob started towards the home but when told a hot reception was awaiting them turned back. James Reese Europe and orchestra entertained the prisoners at Sing Sing on Saturday, December 2.

C.—If the man who assaulted and robbed Mrs. Frank G. Congleton, a white woman of this town, of $702 on Saturday night, November 25, had been more careful in putting on his disguise, it is quite probable that the Negroes here would have received rough treat from the white people. She was robbed by a man with a black face but white hands. Mrs. Congleton and husband did not believe in banks and their savings were carried by the woman in a wallet concealed in her bosom. As she was enroute home about 8:30 that night the highwayman met her and thrust a pistol in her face, demanding her money. From a pocket in her blouse he secured $7, but evidently having some knowledge of the hiding place of her savings he knocked her down, chocked her and tore from the inside of her bodice and wallet with $695. Mrs. Congleton didn't recognize him, but she declared to the authorities that while the man's face was black his hands were the hands of a white man. The police put dogs on the man's trail and he was tracked to the Norfolk Southern depot, where the trail was lost. Columbus, N. Mexico.—Lieutenat-Colonel Chas.

DO IT NOW Subscribe for THIS PAPER PURE FOOD COMMISSION MAY INVESTIGATE SOARING PRICES ON FOODSTUFFS. Coming Legislature Expected to Give Board Power to Inquire Into Market Conditions. Denver.—Expansion of the scope of the State Pure Food Commission to investigate rumored combinations that make for soaring prices on foodstuffs, and to watch the market facilities and the storage conditions on fruits and foodstuffs generally, is to be considered by the coming Legislature. The Pure Food Commission is conducted in connection with the State Board of Health by John Lynch, commissioner. Its powers at present are restricted to investigations for impurities of foodstuffs. From the standpoint of health, the board is believed by a number of legislators to be the logical body to conduct thru the activities of the commission, investigations that will expose trade combinations wherein the consumer holds the sack. Again, it would give the health board certain additional powers to compensate, in a way, for the authority shorn from its activities by the medical practice bill, which became a law a few days ago. Instead of a subsidiary committee of the health board acting on the licenses of physicians, the new law provides for that duty to be performed by the State Board of Medical Examiners. The first intimation of such a permanent body to be invested with powers similar in many respects to the State Public Utilities Commission, through legislative enactment, came from Leon M. Hattenbach, representative-elect from Denver. Senator Knauss and Senator-elect Dunklee of Denver and Representative Ardourel of Boulder also are making investigations to determine what is the best method to follow in establishing a commission that would be sufficiently empowered to make the proper investigations and prevent soaring prices when conditions did not warrant such increases. Medical Practices Act Goes Into Effect. The medical practice act, passed by the last Legislature and referred to the voters in the recent election, became law when Governor Carlson issued a proclamation to that effect. The bill carried by 14,562 votes. The new law provides for the licensing of all medical practitioners by a state board of medical examiners. The nine members of the board are to be appointed by the governor. The terms of office of three will expire in two years, three in four years and three in six years. All successive appointments are to be made biennially and for a term of six years. Many Get Jobs Through U. S. Bureau. Through the co-operation of the United States Immigration Bureau and the postoffice authorities, the work of the federal employment bureau has risen to a gratifying point, according to W. R. Mansfield, assistant in the office of Henry H. Moore, chief immigration officer for the Denver district. The employment bureau will be able greatly to increase its work if the present Congress heeds the recommendations of Secretary of Labor Wilson, who has urged that a separate bureau of employment be established. Gets $205,000 from Auto Licenses. The enormous increase in automobile revenue to the state which has marked the last year is strikingly shown in the biennial report of Chief inspector Carl De Lochte of the office of the secretary of state, which will be submitted to the coming session of the Legislature. The gross receipts from automobile licenses for 1916 will be $205,000, as compared to $121,000 for 1915, an increase of $84,000. All but 10 per cent of this amount, used for expenses of collection, goes to the betterment of Colorado highways. Liguor Shipments Break Record. Denver folks who partake of intoxicating beverages are evidently preparing for Christmas, judging from the increased number of liquor shipments received during November. According to figures compiled in the county recorder's office, all records, since Denver went dry, were broken during that month, 9,228 shipments having been received. The city collected $2,307 in fees. The shipments ranged in size from half pints to barrels. Crean Promoted to Hospital Corps. Arthur B. Crean of Denver, a member of the hospital corps at Fort Sam Houston, Tex., has been promoted to the rank of first sergeant in the medical corps, according to word received in Denver. State Students Need More Room. The great need of Colorado state educational institutions is for permanent improvements and additional facilities for handling more students. This is the opinion of Leslie Hubbard, attorney general-elect, who has just returned from a trip on which he made an exhaustive study of such institutions. The educational system of the state schools, Mr. Hubbard believes, needs no improvement, for it compares favorably with that of any state in the country. GERMAN PEACE NOTE TEXT OF MESSAGE WHICH U.

"Our aims are not to shatter nor annihilate our adversaries. In spite of our consciousness of our military and economic strength and our readiness to continue the war (which has been forced upon us) until the bitter end, if necessary; at the same time, prompted by the desire to avoid further bloodshed and make an end to the atrocities of war, the four allied powers propose to enter forthwith into peace negotiations. "The propositions which they bring forward for such negotiations and which have for their object a guarantee of the existence of the honor and liberty of evolution for their nations are, according to their firm belief, an appropriate basis for the establishment of a lasting peace. "The four allied powers have been obliged to take up arms to defend justice and the liberty of national evolution. The glorious deeds of our armies have in no way altered their purpose. We always maintained the firm belief that our own rights and justified claims in no way control the rights of these nations. "The spiritual and material progress which were the pride of Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century are threatened with ruin, Germany and her allies, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, gave proof of their unconquerable strength in this struggle. They gained gigantic advantage over adversaries superior in number and war material. Our Nines stand unshaken against ever-repeated attempts made by armies. "The last attack in the Balkans has been rapidly and victoriously overcome. The most recent events have demonstrated that further continuance of the war will not result in breaking the resistance of our forces and the whole situation with regard to our troops justifies our expectation of further successes. "If, in spite of this offer of peace and reconciliation, the struggle should go on, the four allied powers are resolved to continue to a victorious end, but they disclaim responsibility for this before humanity and history. The imperial government, through the good offices of your excellency, asks the government of the United States to bring this communication to the knowledge of the governments of France, Great Britain, Russia, Belgium, Japan, Serbia and Rumania." Specific Terms Not Named. Washington, Dec. 13.—The absence of any specific terms for peace in the German note or in the German chancellor's speech was in a measure a disappointment to those who expected some concrete expression of a basis on which negotiations might begin. Advices from Berlin to the German embassy indicate, however, that Germany's peace terms, in general measure, propose the restoration of the status quo before the war, with the exception of the establishment of independent kingdoms of Poland and Lithuania. They are understood to propose the complete restoration of the occupied portions of Belgium and France in return for Germany's captured colonies and to dispose of the Balkan situation, because of its extremely complicated nature, in the peace conference. "In the note the four allied (central) powers propose to enter forthwith on peace negotiations. The propositions which they bring for such negotiations are, according to their firm belief, appropriate for the establishment of a 'lasting peace. "The governments at Vienna, Constantinople and Sofia transmitted identical notes and also communicated with the holy see and all neutral powers." The German peace offer was almost the sole topic of discussion at the dinner to the Cabinet given by President and Mrs. Wilson. "Fight On," Kaiser Orders Armies. London.—A Central News dispatch from Amsterdam says it is announced officially in Berlin that Emperor William has notified his commanding generals of Germany's peace offer and has informed them it is still uncertain whether the offer will be accepted. Until that uncertainty is ended, the message says, they are to fight on. Germany's move for peace comes just two years and 133 days after she declared war on Russia and two years and 129 days after England declared war on Germany. we have conducted an exclusive Jewelry Store in Denver.

AD we yentured to prophecy on the opportunities that would H be presented to the Negro of this country in this great and unprecedented European war, we would be jeered at, in fact, received the laugh and taunt in the face from our oppressors who forget that at times HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. The article on our front page, from ‘‘Current Opinion,’’ should be carefully read and digested by every Negro, as this exodus from the South is creating an alarming impression upon the white man, who, laboring under a delusion for these many years that we were his, to have and to hold, is confronted with the fact of the NEGRO’S AWAKENING, and therefore an op- position of the greatest bitterness will be waged against our people who are responding to the call of their fellow Americans for better service in other parts of the country, As we stated in a previous is- sue, the opportunity is at last afforded the dark-skinned portion of this American population to obtain position, employment, recogni- tion on merit and in the words of another—‘‘this will be the prelude to a new emancipation for the South.”” Seeing, therefore, that this opportunity grows out of a forted action or an inevitable cause, and viewing at this time that color or race is not a barrier to the Negro as men are wanted with the ability to work, we should then QUALIFY, as with the continuance of the European struggle will come the re- duction of Anglo-Saxon immigrated labor—the various channels of skilled and unskilled labor must continue to perform their function and the workmen become the necessary agents, Sometimes we feel that mob-rule should be met with mob-rule, lynching with lynching, unfair and unjust dealing towards us with the same retaliation, but thanks to our discretion and an ALL. WISE PROVIDENCE, WHO, in presiding over the destinies of mankind, is helping us to work out our salvation in an intelligent, discreet and amiable manner, that will merit the commendation of other races as well as the support of the darker races of the world when the time shal! be ripe for combined action, CHRISTMAS. T HE Christmas gift idea is so thoroughly established that it un- doubtedly will follow the course of the Christian world as faith- fully as the religion upon which it is based. The character of the gift, however, may undergo change, for the tendency to subject the religious form and thought to the over-ruling clamor of popular fancy and fashion is not a good tendency, and its extravagant indulgence may compel reforms for socicty’s sake. ~ Gifts to members of one’s family or to friends are very dear ex- pressions of an abiding affection, which, somehow, does not quite so thoraughly or satisfactorily express itself in any other way. The ten- deney toward extravagance in these gifts, however, is a dangerous one, the error having its conception in the illusion absorbed by the child that Santa Claus has an endless supply of gifts whose lavish distribution depends only upon his good humor, The spirit of the gift and its usefulness are the things most to be considered and ap- preciated, rather than the intrinsic value. This conservative idea might better be ineuleated in the minds of the young. The gift in ex- pectation of a return gift or other reward has considerable less to commend it, But the charity gift is the real Christmas gift, which in spirit, in character, and in the sensation of satisfaction to the giver, cannot he excelled, But by a charity gift we do not mean a hap-hazara affair, without aim or purpose. We all have intercourse of some kind with, or knowledge of, those greatly in need, what it will cost very little to provide. The noting, the planning’ and the giving of these things during the Christmas holidays will make more hearts than those of the recipients burn with pleasure, And none of us is either too rich or too poor to engage in this sort of giving. A simple service per- formed without the asking and without thought of pay-and with a refusal to accept any, is just as gracious and just as appropriate a Christmas gift as a millionaire’s check for a glittering diamond. The true spirit of the Christmas gift is that of the bestowal of a benefit without the thought of reward, except the thought that ‘‘it is more blessed to give than to receive.’’ What Avail to Rebuild Europe if Wars Like Present One Are Still Possible? Mosc Ose ooo ioe: From its very beginning as an organization the grange has taken an absolute stand for universal arbitration of international disputes. Instead of resorting to the force of arms, with the long train of misery, bloodshed, horror and death that constitutes the inevitable fruits of warfare. If any vindication of that position was needed, we have it in the awful spec. tacle across the seas—now of more than two years’ devastating duration— and in contemplation of whose results the whole world stands aghast. It would have been a wild prophet, indeed, who had ventured to predict three years ago that the awful story of the past twenty-four months could ever have happened; yet it has happened, and no present evidences appear that we are even so much as half way through this ghastly ordeal. When the end does come—and under what conditions it will be no man dares to name—it will find the whole civilized world facing a prob- lem of reorganization whose magnitude can scarcely be conceived. ‘Torn and bleeding Europe must somehow be rehabilitated, as victors and van- quished alike realize how far backward in the scale of progress they have been thrust by the experiences of carnage that are now their own eelf- inflicted portion. | But of what avail to rebuild Europe, to attempt again to set in ‘motion the machinery of civilization, if it is still to be under conditions ‘that afford no guaranty against another like conflict a generation or two hence, when some nation, or group of them, shall have attained a euffi cient rehabilitation to become aggressor? Upon the reply to this ques- tion the whole world turns in its query, and humanitarians and investors alike will pause in their plans until it shall be answered. Clearly, then, the close of this gigantic struggle must see positive steps taken to create a “league of nations,’ bound beyond the peradven- ture of a doubt to keep the peace of a world in absolute guaranty against any possible recurrence of this awful catastrophe. As they emerge from the present struggle it seems incredible that the warring nations of today can be other than eager co-operators in such a world league; that every neutral nation of the present time will join its energies in the under- taking appears beyond question. When such a guaranty of world safety has been established—and it can be done if all civilized peoples demand that it shall he—the energies of a world can be safely devoted to rebuilding, the peaceful arts of indus- try can be restored and peace and good-will will resume their sway in the affairs of men. Universal Military Training Will Make Better Citizens and Tend to Keep Peace By REV. R. A. WHITE of Chicago I believe in military training because I believe in a sane and suffi- cient preparedness, and military training is a necessary step to any real preparedness. Modern war is a science, A man cannot be a good soldier without training any more than a man can be a good engineer without preparation. In a democracy every man must bear his share of the burdens of democracy. If democracy means anything, it means the rule of the ma- jority and the service of all. ‘To permit a large number of citizens to shirk their duty just because they want to let others fight both for them- selves and the shirkers because they are willing to is the reverse of democracy. All demand the protection of law. All should obey the law. It is good physical training. It teaches young men to obey. We are suffering from the lack of discipline. Young men do not know how to obey because neither in the school nor home are they made to obey. The schools are without effective discipline and the average home has little or none. A large percentage of our lawbreakers are young men from seventeen to twenty-five. Military training and discipline breed business efficiency. Modern business is exciting. ‘The time lost in training would be more than com- pensated for by the increased ability to do things. |. d believe it lends itself to pence, not war. We do not want war. To be really prepared for war is to avoid it. China, Belgium, Greece and Korea are instances of weakness inviting attack. No nation attacks an equally powerful nation without cause. We shall command the political respect of the world and discourage attack in just the degree that we are prepared to enforce respect and meet attack. A nation that is able to protect itself and will not deserves what. ever lrumiliation other nations choose to heap upon her. Annual Toll of 250,000 Lives Taken by Industry Sapping Strength of Country By RIGHT REV. SAMUEL FALLOWS Bishop of the Reformed Episcopal Church Amidst widespread jubilation over the fact that out of all the world America still enjoys the “piping times of peace,” one salient question obtrudes itself: Are we, after all, so much better off than the war-embroiled countries? Have we not an internal warfare of our own, a species of national indigestion brought about by the attempt to act as shopkeeper for the rest of the earth? Our eyes open wide with horror every day at the awfulness of war in Europe, and yet our pulse never increases a beat at thought of the awfulness of industrial rapacity at home. But greed, like every other vice, eventually strikes low the individual or nation which encourages it. In time we shall all find this out. It is a significant fact that our various speeded-up industries are producing a yearly death toll of 250,000 man and woman workers, and that 500,000 men, women and children are annually maimed and crippled from the same cause. What if war should‘ suddenly come upon us, as it often descends upon nations, out of a clear sky? Could we afford then to get along without the soldiers whom we have murdered through our selfish carelessness? It ought to be evident to every employer of labor that neglect of the personal interests of the human beings whose toil goes to fatten his purse is treason of a high sort. Many such a man talks loudly of the necessity for patriotism when away from his factory or shop, oblivious of the fact that his country’s greatest assets in time of need are the masses of sturdy sons recruited from centers of employment like his own. If war were to come again, the same frightened employer could not buy back the lives he has wasted, even if his profits in gold and silver reached as high as the Rocky mountains. | The 9 I g h | v is & ) Co. S THE YEAR DRAWS TO A CLOSE, and the Holidays, with their hal- A lowed influences and broad and quickening human sympathies, will soon be at our doors, it behooves us to pause for a moment amid our busy duties and give some thought to those things which the conventionalities of life by long usage demand. This season of peace and good will to all hu- /manity gives fresh impulse to the ties of friendship and the love of dear ones. It Is the season of good cheer and good deeds for others, kindly and unself- ‘ishly done. It manifests its presence in a variety of ways.

REV. NATHAN L. BRAY ENDS LONG AND EVENTFUL CAREER. More Than Half a Century in the Ranks of African Methodist Minis- try—Funeral Held From Shorter Chapel—Eulogized by Elder Pope and Dr. Over. The translation of Father Nathan L, Bray Thursday evening, Dec. 7, at the family home, 1146 South Cherokee street, removed from our midst one of the most picturesque and interest- ing characters of the city. He was born in Wilmington, Ohio, July 23, 1839, converted at the age of 12 years and licensed to preach at the age of twenty. Forty-four years ago he mar- ried Miss Mary F, Jenkins in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, and from this union six children were born, all of whom sur- vive. Perhaps the most widely known of these is Rey. H. Franklin Bray, D. D., who at one time served as pastor of Campbell A. M. E. church, this city, and who in recent years has done splendid work in the evangelical field. Father Bray lived out his three score and ten years, and because of his deep piety and ardent devotion to his Savior, God added seven more years to his'life, permitting him to die at seventy-seven years of age. More than half a century of his life was spent in the Christian ministry, largely in the states of Ohio and Indiana, and at the time of his death he was a super- anuated member of the Indiena annual conference. For a number of years Father Bray was afflicted with asthma, but he exercised great forti- tude and patience and his closing Scene was serene and beautiful. ‘The funeral service was held from Shorter Chapel Sunday 2 p. m., with Rey. R. L. Pope, presiding elder of the Rocky Mountain District officiating, assisied by Revs. Chas, A. Williams, D. B. Over, D. D., and G. S. Sawyer. Brothers F. 'T. Bruce, George J. Wal- lingford, Geo. C. King, Wesley Lyons, J. A, Waldon and Wm. Obryant were the pall bearers. His remains were laid to rest in Riverside cemetery, Cammel undertakers, in charge, BOULDER NOTES.

Briggsdale is having a building boom. Frederick's new $18,000 school house is about completed. Negotiations are pending by which the Colorado-Yule Marble Company may be reorganized. During the past month the industrial commission has been successful as mediator in six disputes in the coal fields. High praise for the naval hospital at Las Animas is contained in the annual report of W. C. Braisted, surgeon general of the navy. Legislative changes in the state homestead and marriage record laws were recommended at a meeting of the Colorado Equal Suffrage Association in Denver. Superior, Boulder county, dedicated as a Catholic church which had once been a saloon, and so great was the interest in the ceremonies that 800 Catholics and non-Catholics attended. Six men are in jail at Pueblo charged with forgery as a result of their operations in the past few days, when several bad checks were passed on Pueblo merchants. From all indications the business of the Denver postoffice will show an increase for 1916 of more than $1,000,000 as compared with 1915. This is the largest gain in the history of the office. Max and Sam Levy, brokers with offices in Denver, were arrested by United States authorities on indictments from Phoenix, Ariz., charging them with using the mails to defraud. George Mitchell, five-time ex-convict, is in the Denver city jail, charged with misrepresenting himself to the landlady of an apartment house at 1456 Washington street and obtaining $15. Cheyenne police are looking for Mrs. Stanley Yoakum, wife of the Denver lightweight pugilist, who disappeared from her home near Denver some time ago while her husband was filling fight engagements in the East. William A. Grierson lost only $1 worth of his wife's affections through her alleged association with A. D. Atwood, although he sued the latter for the loss of $3,000 worth. A jury in Judge Butler's division of the District Court so held in a verdict which it returned in Denver. The decision of the United States Supreme Court in upholding the right of the Minerals Separation Company, a British corporation, to the use of the flotation process, will not have an injurious effect on mining in Colorado, according to Fred Carroll, state mining commissioner. Coincident with the slump in the cost of foodstuffs in Washington and other eastern points, and the smashing of the Chicago "egg corner," with its resultant collapse of prices, the quotations of several food commodities dropped in Denver and a further decrease is expected. The sound of an auger boring through the head of his bed aroused Roy Staley, assistant cashier of the First National bank of Arvada, and prevented a bank robbery. This was the second attempt to rob this bank within two weeks. Two weeks ago robbers were frightened away. The fact that silver is 30 per cent higher in 1916 than it was in 1915, together with the added facts that a 46 per cent gain has been realized in lead, a 58 to 60 per cent gain in copper and a gain of 6 per cent in spelter, explains the unusual prosperity which prevails in Gunnison, Chaffee, Lake, Eagle, Summit and Park counties. Plans for presenting the case of manufacturers, jobbers, merchants and the ultimate consumer for a complete readjustment of the freight rates to and from Colorado before the Interstate Commerce Commission in the Federal Court in Denver on Jan. 15, were discussed at a meeting of the Colorado Fair Rates Association at Denver. Denver's taxes in 1917 will be $602,392.60 less than they were this year. The big reduction, which amounts to a 10 per cent decrease, is provided for in the annual levy ordinance introduced in the city council and approved and ordered published on the recommendation of Mayor Speer. The total amount to be raised will be $7,203,133.59, as compared to $5,805,525.99 this year. Denver felt the effect of Germany's peace proposal by an immediate drop in the cost of living. As a result of Von Bethman-Hollweg's speech in the reichstag, flour fell 20 cents per 100 pounds in the Denver market and is now selling at $4 per 100 wholesale. Co-operation with the federal forest service for the conservation of the forest reserve ranges in Colorado, was the principal matter discussed at a meeting of sheepmen of the Western Slope at Rifle, according to Chief of the Grazing Bureau John H. Hatton of the Denver office. REIGN OF TERROR PRODUCED BY KNIFE WIELDERS. COLORADO STATESMAN Mayor and Town Marshal Reported Badly Cut, and Posse Searches for Assailants. Nucla, Colo—The mayor and town marshal of Nucla were cut and stabbed by Joseph Carver and William Hurd, who went on a rampage and had produced a reign of terror before they made their escape. They first attacked A. B. Skinner in the postoffice. He eluded them by jumping through a window. Mayor George Pauley was attacked in his place of business and badly cut; the marshal appeared and the assailants turned upon him, wounding him so severely that he was no longer able to afford the mayor protection. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West Their blood lust still unsatisfied, the assailants pursued their attack upon the mayor until he was rescued and hurried into hiding by friends, Crazed with drink, Carver and Hurd hunted the town over for their victim, who had been secreted in the cellar at the home of Dr. Keating. A posse of citizens was formed and the attackers took to the hills. The sheriff and district attorney are trying to run them down. The marshal is in a precarious condition. The theft of $40 and a butcher knife from the Pauley store is also charged against the desperadoes. Home-Grown Dishes at Rural Fete. Fort Morgan. — A "home-grown" feast was given by the Riverside Club a country woman's organization, to sixty-four invited guests as a practical demonstration of the great variety of crops grown in the vicinity of Fort Morgan. The menu consisted of forty-seven dishes, condiments and relishes. All of the articles, except the coffee and grape juice, were grown in this community. Even the sugar was raised here, and the wild Mallard ducks that graced the board were furnished by a member of the club, who raises hundreds of them every year for the market. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. Indiana Claim for $3,125,000 Revived. Grand Junction.—McCook, chief of the federation of the Uintah, Southern, White River, Uncompaghre, and Tabaquch Utes, is starting a movement to compel the United States government to pay the Ute Indians $3,115,000 which it is claimed the government has owed the Indians of these tribes for over thirty-five years, as the result of a treaty signed in 1880. To Install Pastor as Bishop. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Colorado Springs.—The consecration of the Rev. Frank Hale Touret was bishop of western Colorado will take place in Colorado Springs, it was announced. The rites will be observed in the church where Mr. Touret has been rector for the last six years, and will take place Feb. 2. The presiding bishop will be the Rt. Rev. Daniel Sylvester Tuttle of St. Louis. Big Intermountain Stock Show. Grand Junction.—The Grand Junction International Livestock Show opened with an estimated attendance of 2,500. For weeks preparations have been under way, and the largest stock exhibit ever gathered in western Colorado is the result. Approximately 300 of the finest dairy cattle in western Colorado are on exhibition. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. Pueblo Asks U. S. for Camp Ground. Pueblo.—The city of Pueblo requested the Department of the Interior for two grants of land in the San Ysabel forest reserve. One of the grants will be used for a municipal playground, and will consist of forty acres of timber land. The other will be used as a camping ground for visiting autoists. Farmer Drilling for Water Finds Gas. Pueblo.—Mat Watkins, farmer in the Grimaldi district in the southeastern part of Pueblo county, has struck a considerable flow of gas in a well drilled on his place. He has piped the gas into his house and is using it for fuel and lighting. The well was being drilled for water. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. Grand Junction.—George W. Melton, 76, one of the prospectors who invaded the hills around Marble in 1880 and chipped his way into paying lodes while Leadville and Aspen were in their infancy, died on his ranch two miles south of the city on Orchard Mesa from plural pneumonia. TWODOLLARSAYEAR Youthful Forgers Had Many Victims.

ALL WE ASK AHAN'S --- AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Fritz Pollard, a Negro, halfback of the championship Brown university eleven, is rated among the leading all-around players in the East. It was mainly through his startling work in the Brown backfield that the Providence (R. I) eleven triumphed over Harvard, November 18, by a score of 21 to 0. Pollard is particularly strong in the bucking end of the game, tearing through his opponent's line like a battering ram. The efficiency of a halfback usually is decreased considerably when the enemy can "spot" him. And because Pollard is a Negro the enemy never 1930 fails to find him among the group of Brown interference. They "spot" Pollard the moment the ball is passed and they make their play almost always for Pollard, because he does at least two-thirds of the ball carrying for the Providence boys. But they cannot halt him. "Get Pollard" has been the order of almost every coach whose team has faced Brown this year. But "getting" Pollard is a trick as hard of accomplishment as was "getting" Heston in the by-gone days. Pollard must suffer more jolts, bangs and wallops than any other player—but he seems to be unhurtable. Tributes to the memory of Booker T. Washington were given in eloquent addresses at the New Academy of Music, Baltimore, where a memorial service was held under the auspices of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund committee. Primarily, the meeting was for the purpose of The Negro is the best laborer on earth; because he is always optimistic, cheerful, and he sings while he labors, and he will do as much work in one day as two foreigners will do; and he is obedient and polite to his employer and "boss." The Negro is the only laborer who loves his employer, and no manner of persuasion, no kind of bribe, and no kind of intimidation can get him to organize against his employer, writes J. B. Rayner of Calvert, Tex., in a communication to the Houston Post. The Negro will inform his employer and "boss" of what is going on. Any man who tries to persuade the Negroes to leave the South, and go to some foreign country is not a true friend to the industrial interests of the South, and he is not competent to give the Negro common sense advice. When senility looks back at its dreams unrealized, it will be sure to sporadically suffer with acute cases of verbal effervescence; and allowances must be made by all thinkers. The white man who is not able financially to give the Negro an industrial opportunity to work need not waste any time or energy to give the Negro ad- The United States bureau of fisheries reports that on the last cruise of the Fish Hawk in Chesapeake Bay samples of grayfish meat, put up in brine, were distributed among crab fishermen and dealers, to test its value and the possibility of introducing it as a substitute for some of the baits now on the market. Fishermen who have tried the crayfish say that it is a very good bait. New York is to have a new hotel to cost $15,000,000. raising funds for the erection of a normal and industrial institute in connection with Tuskegee institute, Alabama, which was founded by Doctor Washington. The audience was composed of both white and colored people, mostly the latter. The principal address was by Dr. William H. Welch of the Johns Hopkins Medical school, the other white speaker being Rev. Dr. Richard W. Hogue of the open forum. Doctor Welch, after lauding the life and achievements of Booker T. Washington, in which he said he was well acquainted with him and greatly appreciated his generous character, told of some of the great needs affecting the health of the colored people in particular, although he said they applied to the white people as well. Doctor Welch referred to the demand for young colored physicians in the country, whose duty would be to study and administer to the physical needs of the colored race. He also emphasized the need for young colored women as public health nurses to go from house to house suggesting and advising their people in the art of sanitation with a view to assisting in the public health of the community. Dr. Welch explained, amid applause, that the white people are much concerned for the health conditions of the colored race and praised their own efforts to increase their healthful condition. In closing Doctor Welch spoke of the debt Baltimore people owed Doctor Washington for the interest he manifested time and again in their welfare and hoped that the city would raise its share of the $2,000,000 fund being raised in America. When Bishop John Hurst called the meeting to order the theater was packed. A few moments later when Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, pastor of Wesley African Methodist Episcopal church, announced that $2,500 was the sum asked to be raised, he said there were so many white and colored people of prominence in the audience he was sure the money would be subscribed then and there. It was learned that a goodly portion of the money was raised. Doctor Robert Russa Moton, principal of the Tuskegee institute, one of the speakers, gave a comprehensive account of the work of the institute, and told of the ideals of Mr. Washington for the institution, and said he had devoted his life to the carrying out of those ideals. Several times in his address he referred to Mrs. Booker T. Washington, who occupied a box to the right of the stage. His reference to the humanitarian work of Mr. Washington and his efforts to weld the differences and prejudices of the two races were loudly applauded. The other speakers were Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee institute, and Mason A. Hawkins, principal of the Colored High school. Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, is a town of some historic integest, while its cathedral is regarded as the hand-somest church on the American continent. The foundation stone of this edifice was laid in 1593 on the site of a former heathen temple. The national museum is filled with treasures of Aztec civilization and the various memorials of the hapless Maximilian and the beautiful Carlotta lend a luster to the attractive city. In Italy the refuse gathered in the streets is sold at auction. vice. The worthy Negroes only petition the good white people for two things, viz.: First, work for the Negro; second, justice for the criminal and misdemeanor white man. When the bad white man gets justice the worthy Negro secures protection. The man who is a criminal in this enlightened age merits no sympathy, and the criminal expatriated with hemp, or fire, or through legal procedure, does not create any sympathy in the writer's feelings. God is not ready for the Negroes to go from the surveillance of the good Christian white people of the South. Let us all by a paragonic example, of our lives, make the South the best place on earth to live in. It can be done; it must be done; it will be done. A new heading device for harvesting wheat is designed so that it can be attached directly to the front of a tractor. A barge built for harvesting kelp on the Pacific coast gathers up about 500 tons of seaweed on a trip. It has been ascertained that the plant datura alba, which grows wild in abundance in almost every part of the Philippine islands, contains a large amount of atrophine, now currently obtained for the drug trade from atropha belladonna L, a plant of the temperate zone. Chemists say alba also contains in addition to atrophine hyoscyamine, an alkaloid no - employed in producing "twilight sleep." Britain has 80,943 Red Cross workers. Under the Mistletoe by De Lysle Herree Cass COIFFURED mesh of copper-colored hair, half disarranged, yet as scientific as a spider's web humid melting eyes, luminous with a light born only of itself—a dimpled pitfall on one cheek where art and nature blend indistinguishably—red, red moist lips beneath which the ardent blood of maidenhood throbs strongly like a runner's pulse—a seductive sweep of velvety throat, with the delicate tracery of veins showing faintly violet—a tempestuous bosom— And around all this, Two Arms—a Man's. GOOD WISHES By FORTUNE FREE. OMEONE said that the richest person was the one who was fullest of good wishes for others SOMEONE said that the richest person was the one who was fullest of good wishes for others and who received their good wishes in return. Wishing others well did him or her all the good in the world, and the good wishes in return were powerful for good. Don't we find it so ourselves? No one can do without them. They are our dearest possessions. Montague Williams, the celebrated British barrister, once related the story of a rather unloved old gentleman of miserly habits and rejoicing in the nickname amongst the urchins of the neighborhood of "Old Pickbones." Generosity was not one of his virtues, and if he wished any human creatures well he kept it a secret to himself. He was a man who seemed impervious to all good wishes—a solitary old grudger who cared nothing for the good or the bad wishes of any human creature. When he died, however, it turned out that he had been by no means as thick-skinned as he seemed. He left a will in which he bequeathed money to different persons, and ten thousand pounds to some unknown individual whom he directed his solicitor to discover if possible. That person had been accustomed to send him yearly an anonymous post card with just, "Best wishes at this time to you." The writer gave no clue as to who he was. Did the old gentleman tear the cards up or throw them into the fire? Not a bit of it. He had carefully preserved them—tied them up in a nice packet. "If the writer can be discovered." he ordered in his will, "I bequeath him ten thousand pounds for his good will." I would dearly have liked for the The One-Idea Man. It pays to stick to one thing. Only those persons in whose lives some one great purpose outweighs everything else rise above the shoulders of the crowd. Concentration does it. Strugglers in the commercial world are reminded that "the man who minds his own business will soon have a business of his own to mind." Paul had a passion for one thing, as he said, "Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before. I press on toward the goal sender of those post cards to have got that money, but all efforts to find him proved unavailing. One cannot help wishing well to the person who wishes others well. Good wishes are the biggest bond on earth. Isn't it a delightful thing to think that others are thinking of us? The well-wisher is thinking of us. He also puts his good thought for us into words: "I wish you every good luck," or something of that kind. It is like a grasp of a band pressing ours. It blesses both the giver and the receiver. I don't know which gets the most out of it. There are times when the world breaks out into a mighty shout, as it were, of good wishes. Christmas time is the great season. Never had we more need of them than at this coming Christmas time. It is an enormous opportunity for the good wisher to make his power felt. ```markdown ``` It is a curious and beautiful thing about this Christmas spirit that year after year it leads us to attempt the all but impossible, in order to give pleasure to others; while in the end everyone's joy is the result, not of what he has received from others, but of what he has done for them. ```markdown ``` Taking Him at His Word. Hem (opening a fancy box)—What do you think of the new necktie? Shimmer—Gee, it's a marvel of beauty. Where'd you get it? "I got it from one of my aunts for Christmas, but I have decided to give it to you. Put it right on and wear it." "Aw, go on! Can't you take a joke?—Youngstown Telegram. unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus," And Paul succeeded, by holding to that one thing so that his life was glorified by the presence of Christ, and made fruiful to the rest of the world, as few if any other lives of the Christian era.

Priced at. $4.75 VOGUES AND VANITIES of JULIA BOTTOMLEY I ```markdown ``` If you are looking about for a pretty model for an afternoon gown it almost goes without saying that you want a smart one-piece straight-hanging frock. There are many materials that provide a choice for making it, but satin or chiffon velvet, or both combined, lie uppermost in the mind, if the dress is to be elegant rather than practical. The one-piece dress offers the designer the best of opportunities for making effective combinations of materials. Serge and satin, and other cloths with satin or velvet, crepe with velvet, or fur and cloths with fur-fabrics, are a few that have been made so successfully that they pave the way to many more. A lovely combination of satin and chiffon velvet is shown in the picture. In this the chiffon velvet is cut in redingote style over satin that has the effect of an underdress. A panel of satin, from collar to hem, is defined on the edges, with small velvet-covered L Week-End Traveling Bag. A new bag for a lady's toilet articles, when she goes' traveling, is very clever. It is a made-at-home affair of heavy silk, plain or figured, lined with silk or cloth in a contrasting color. It is circular and draws upon a silk cord. Upon opening it, all the toilet requisites are discovered very tidily and cozily arranged. This particular bag may be made in miniature, with complete fittings, like an amplified vanity bag, and it is a treasure for the overnight visit. A round powder box, enclosed in a small bag, is attached to the center of the circular piece of silk. This small bag closes with a silk cord and provides support for several compartments that are ranged about it. These compartments contain all those things which are necessary to milady's toilet, including a small hairbrush and comb, hand mirror, toothbrush and paste in a glass holder, toilet powder, clothes brush, scissors, and needlecase. The arrangement is so complete and compact that there is still room for a soft nightdress of batiste or silk, extra handkerchiefs, etc. The smaller bags will not carry these, but are marvels in space arrangement. All the fittings are little, but everything that is really needed finds a place. Even when brought down to the "irreducible minimum" there are quite a number of things that the week-end or over-eight visitor can't do without. The week-end bag can be made of other fabrics than silk. Cretonne and sof buttons, set about an inch apart. The dress has a long waistline and a narrow velvet belt edged with fur. The belt terminates at each side of the front panel, where it is fastened to the dress with a large velvet button. A small plaited cape of velvet, finished with a narrow banding of fur, falls to the shoulders. This is a feature which marks this dress a design for the slender figure. The straight satin sleeves have deep cuffs of tucked chiffon, which come far down over the hands, and the high satin collar is edged with the same material. This model is better for the very slender figure than those that have no definition of the waistline. Millinery Note. A note to be remembered by the home milliner is that should one decide to use wax flowers there should be a few of the silk posies mixed in with them. Otherwise the trimming would be too stiff. J other heavy printed cottons, lined with rubberized cloth, are just as good looking and altogether practical. It is merely more luxurious when made of silk, and therefore more feminine. Cork Carpet for Nursery. The ideal nursery floor is covered with cork carpet, and it is as well to lay this betimes, because at first it has rather an objectionable smell, which wears off after it has been in use. Cork carpet is warm and clean; it can be wiped over with a damp cloth each day, which keeps it sweet and fresh and it is quite warm to the touch, so that a child is not chilled when sitting on it. A few small rugs can be thrown over it at convenient spaces. Wonderful Hair Tonic. Steep one ounce of tea in a cup of boiling water, then let it settle and strain; add borax, one dram; rosewater, two ounces; glycerin, one and one-half ounce; bay rum, one pint; cantharides, one-quarter ounce. Mix thoroughly in a large bottle and use daily. Trained Evening Coat. Evening coats made of rich brocades and oriental metal embroidery are being made with long panel trains edged with the same fur which outlines the arm slits and provides the collars. The linings of these coats are usually of soft solid-color satins. THE DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING COMPANY RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992 FRANK S.
