Moton, Chairman of the Executive Committee Gives Great Address at National Negro Business League at Atlantic, City, Aug. 22 A CLEAR-CUT LOGICAL CALL TO THE RACE FOR A CONSTRUCTIVE AFTER-THE-WAR PROGRAM-A TIMELY HINT AT PREPARATION FOR THE RACE. VOL. XXIV. DR. R. R. Moton, Executive Comm Address at Nati League at Atla A CLEAR-CUT LOGICAL CALL STRUCTIVE AFTER-THE-V HINT AT PREPARAT THE economic struggle which is to follow the conclusion of peace will be second only to the great war which is now in progress in Europe. With the end of bloodshed and strategy on the battlefield, we may expect to see the world engulfed in a new grapple for economic ascendency. Strategy on the battlefield will give place to strategy in the market place. It is well for us to ask the question now, "After the War—What?" Already steps are being taken to re-educate partially disabled soldiers so that they may engage in technical work. This is going to mean the reaction is being made self-sustaining by the advertising matter which it carries. This is an exigency of the situation, and we may expect to see factories of all sorts turning out products at prices greatly reduced over the present scale. America is already looking ahead and planning to meet this great new crisis, and the best brains of America are even now mobilizing in a gigantic effort to protect the interests of the American people. Germany and her Allies and the other European countries are likewise looking ahead to protect their interests and we are certain to see a mighty economic deadlock throughout the world for many years after the war. Just how the Negro of America will be placed in the great readjustment, we do not know, but it is idle to suppose that we can pass through this turmoil of trade without bearing some portion of the burden, and without wearing some of the scars of battle. The signs of the times were never more propitious with meaning, and there has never been more urgent need for forethought and planning ahead. We are fortunate in having this organization—The National Negro Business League, planned by a man of Vision and power, which can be used to help the race meet this new situation, by joining hands with other leading organizations of the country. Dr. Washington, at the zenith of his career, foresaw the needs of his people, and brought together the most progressive, the most experienced business men of the race in this organization, which is a concerted effort to centralize the commercial and financial strength of the Negro. In this great work, he has had the unfaltering support of Mr. Napier, Mr. Scott and other strong men of the race. Thus the Business League has been dedicated by its Founder and first President to the service of humanity and we would be derelict in our duty, and faithless to the great trust he has imposed upon us if in this hour of economic struggle we did not utilize its accumulated influence and experience to its utmost capacity. The war has been a great teacher. We have learned that white and colored people can work together in important local efforts. We have also learned that it is possible for colored people to co-operate in movements for uplift and patriotic purpose. In War --- race. The Negro newspapers have given most loyal support to the government in all of its publicity work in connection with the war program, and from a purely commercial angle, they have demonstrated that they can carry a message in an effective way to the 12,000,000 Negroes of this country. Now that the way has been opened, we can do no better thing than to follow up and more firmly establish the relationships which have thus been established between the Negro newspapers and the advertising men of national importance who have charge of the Government Publicity work. (To be continued next week.) Savings, Liberty Loan, Food and other campaigns, we have clearly demonstrated that with proper organization and effective leadership, surprising results may be achieved. Let us not fail, then, to take full advantage of this new found spirit of co-operation. As we have used it in war to mobilize patriotic sentiment, and promote thrift, we can use it in peace to further greater and more important movements, which have for their object, the promotion of progress and the attainment of economic independence. While the League's work in the past has been most successful, it has moved along more or less inspirational lines, and that was possible because of the dominating personality of its Founder. We have lost him now, and the time has come for concerted, definite, constructive work, and to realize anything like success from our future efforts, it appears to me that we should first decide upon a definite program of action. I hope the following suggestions which I have gathered rather hastily, may point the way toward something of a constructive nature: FIRST: We must make up our minds pretty clearly that we have got to stand behind our newspapers. These publications have fought our battles for Right and Justice and they have rarely omitted an act, or overlooked an opportunity to help, both as to co-operation in business and among business men. They have urged our people to support Negro business enterprises and have pointed out that the only certain road to progress is the opening up of certain business avenues for the young men and women of the race. No group among our people has been more persistent, more patient, more far-sighted, more self-sacrificing than have the publishers of our newspapers. They have worked against great odds, with greatest handicaps, and sometimes, I fear, with least appreciation. We must stand behind them and strengthen them with subscriptions, with advertisements, and with whole-hearted support. I would like to see a movement started among these newspapers in a great effort to secure advertising of the more important kind. Let the National League stand with the Press Association in an effort of this kind among these publishers. We can perfect an organization something like the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association, and open offices in the great advertising centers like New York and Chicago, and have earnest, aggressive young men to present to advertisers and advertising agencies, the buying power of the Negro race, and the power of the Negro press. I am confident that some such effort will be productive of good and effective results, and would also give the race a new contact with the business men of the country, and what is of equal importance, it would give the business men of the white race, a new contact with the business men of our At the earnest and repeated solicitation of his many friends throughout the state Mr. Shoup finally consented to have his name submitted to the Republican voters at the primary election September 10. All who know his capabilities, his broad executive experience and his many other qualifications to serve the people as their governor are confident that Mr. Shoup will be the Republican nominee in November. Mr. Shoup's candidacy is based on and caused by the manifest need for a real business-like administration of the affairs of Colorado. Such an administration—along just, efficient and economical lines—is absolutely necessary if the solemn obligations of this commonwealth to the nation are to be fulfilled, if the development and commercial growth of Colorado are to progress without hindrance, and if the necessary administrative economies are to be practiced that will lighten the burdens of our taxpayers—both black and white. Surely, at a time when the national government is calling on the biggest of BIG business men to come to Washington to help assume the responsibilities of conducting America's part of the world-struggle for democracy. Colorado may well heed the example of the United States and proceed to do likewise in connection with its own state affairs. In times of stress and uncertainty the science of business management must be applied more carefully than ever to governmental methods, whether the unit governed be a city, a county, a state, a national or a group of nations. The finest details of organization and co-related effort must be brought into play. This lesson is brought home to the American people every day by the great war. And the lesson should reach with forceful emphasis to the minds and hearts—and pocketbooks—of all the people of Colorado. Mr. Shoup's willingness to accept the nomination for governor has given the people of this state the long-desired opportunity to place a worthwhile business man in the executive's chair at the state house. Mr. Shoup was born in Illinois of Scotch-Irish-English parentage. Four generations of his people were born in this country. He has been a resident of Colorado for thirty-six years. He began his business career as a newsboy and has risen to his present position of prominence in the industrial life of this state solely through his own efforts. His pronounced business success is due to his enthusiastic initiative, his inherent ability and his tireless energy. He is primarily a producer, his principal successes having been achieved in the development of material things from the soil—minerals, oil and agricultural products. He has engaged successfully in stockraising. But during his entire business career has never been connected with any public utility corporation and has always avoided monopolistic or strongly competitive methods. He is a builder and creator of business enterprises and as such has furnished employment to many men at good wages. Mr. Shoup is a big, brainy fellow—BIG mentally, physically, commer cially and philanthropically. He is a good citizen, a good neighbor and a good friend—broad and tolerant in his views. Those who know him best declare that he would bring to the governor's office much that would be for the general public good. JAMES C. STARKWEATHER A Republican Candidate for District Judge James C. Starkweather, designated by the Republican Assembly as a candidate for District Judge at the primary election, September 10th, is a well known lawyer of this city, and a prominent member of the State Senate. He was born in Rhode Island, and is a graduate of Brown University. He studied law at the Boston Law School, and in 1883 removed to Denver, where he has since resided, actively engaged in the practice of his profession. He has always been a staunch friend and well wisher of the colored people, many of whom have been numbered among his clients. In 1916 he was elected a member of the State Senate, and he served in that body during the regular and also the special session of 1917. A firm believer in the eight hour day for those engaged in manual labor, he especially championed such legislation for the protection of women and children. He was instrumental in defeating a bill designed to nullify the eight hour law, so far as it applied to women working in canning factories, and he took an active interest in proposed laws to protect child labor in the beet fields. He also sought to obtain legislation for the relief of the indigent blind. He introduced and secured the passage of a bill to give to the school teachers of Colorado, after serving a probationary period, a permanent tenure of office, subject, of course, to removal for cause. Another achievement was the passage in the Senate, principally thru his efforts, of a bone dry law. Had this bill also passed the House, and been approved by the Governor, Prohibition in Colorado would have been an accomplished fact, and no necessity would now exist for the adoption of the bone dry law, since initiated by the Anti-Saloon League. But opponents of the measure killed the Senate Bone Dry Bill in the House, and forced the passage by the Legislature of the so-called "Permit Law," which has proven so odious and distasteful to all true friends of Prohibition in Colorado. He also introduced and obtained the passage of an act to enforce a proper respect for our National Anthem, the "Star Spangled Banner," requiring it hereafter to be played in public as an entire or separate composition, and forbidding its use as a part of a medley. At a Special Session he called attention of the Senate and of the public to the startling increase in the prices of the necessities of life, and he denounced, as unpatriotic, all profiteering in food, clothing and fuel. The many friends of Senator Starkweather are confidently predicting that at the Primary Election he will be nominated by the Republicans of Denver for District Judge. OLIVER H. SHOUP, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR J. OLIVER H. SHOUP WOULD GIVE STATE EFFICIENT BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION. N selecting a business man of proven experience and success to head the state government during this crucial war period the people of Colorado could make no more fitting choice than Oliver H. Shoup of Colorado Springs. The town of Peterhof, 18 miles from Petrograd, was founded in 1711 by Peter the Great. The imperial palace there is built in imitation of the famous palace of Versailles. NO. 45. GOVERNMENT PROMOTES SEVERAL NEGROES Washington, D. C.—When Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, was called to Washington last October to serve as special assistant to the Secretary of War, he immediately requested the Department of Commerce to release Mr. William H. Davis, who for many years had been performing stenographic and other technical work in that department of the government, and who for many years has been official stenographer of the National Negro Business League. Mr. Davis was accordingly released and has been serving as secretary and first assistant to Mr. Scott since the beginning of his work in Washington. The office force was later enlarged by the addition of Mr. Charles A. Wilson, of Boston, Mass., a stenographic helper, and within the last few weeks by the further addition of Mr. Charles L. Webb of Chicago, Ill., a stenographic helper, formerly status clerk in the United States General Land Office, Interior Department, and Mr. R. W. Thompson, the well known correspondent, who has been transferred from the Treasury Department to serve as assistant in handling the many intricate problems which come to the office of the special assistants, whose bureau looks after matters affecting the interests of colored soldiers and colored citizens generally during the period of the present war, and is acting in conjunction with the Committee on Public Information and other agencies of the government in the important work of stimulating the continued loyalty of colored Americans. The duties involving upon Mr. Scott have grown steadily in volume and gravity and it has been necessary to steadily increase his office force to keep pace with the overwhelming mass of correspondence that flows daily in the office and to properly care for the welfare of the hundreds of cases that constantly press for attention and touch every possible phase of the activities of the colored people of the nation. TO COLORADO STATESMAN FROM "OVER THERE." From Sergt. Charles Pitt, Military Police, 92nd Division. To. Mrs. S. E. Williams and Mrs. M. D. Gross: I am almost sure you are looking for a letter telling you of my safe arrival in France and I am feeling fine. Things have changed a whole lot since we have been on French soil, things I thought never would happen. Negroes treated the same as whites and always welcomed at all places. Of course, the ones who speak French have the best go with the French people. France is not like what you think it is. Everything is on the ancient plan, except the large cities, and there is some class to them. Even the people in the small cities and towns act like people of the olden times. Overton would have some time here. After learning the ways of the people it would be so pleasant for him. You cannot send me anything only letters as I have everything I am allowed to have. Please write often and as long letters as possible, because that is all the news we soldiers know about all of you and the states. Goodbye.

The allies have won back more than two-thirds of the ground lost since the beginning of the German of- fensive in March The British line in the Flanders battle area has been advanced on a front of four miles astride the Neuf Berquin-Estaires road. Australian forces have made sub- stantial progress toward Domplere, south of the Somme, and east of Sw zanne, north of the river. South of the Somme the British have taken Foucducourt, while north of the Somme they have attacked and taken the greater part of ‘Trones wood. British aviators again have bombed Mannheim and Frankfort with success, while American bombing machines have attacked Conflans, between Metz and Verdun. On the Ussuri front, north of Viad- ivostok, the Bolsheviki have retired six miles before a general advance by all the allied forces, according to reports received in Shanghai.

SELECTING S U. S. SENATOR on You Personally, Whom Would Question Must Be Answered by man at the Primary, September 10. Lawrence C. Phipps has always been a staunch Republican. He is not a politician and never aspired to any political honor until his friends con- vinced him that Colorado needs him, as her United States Senator. He is one of the ablest and best trained, self-made business men in America, as well as one of Colorado's most loyal and patriotic citizens. Starting his business career as weighing clerk for a small iron mill at $1.00 per night, he rose from the ranks until the Board of Directors of the Carnegie Steel Company selected him as Vice-President and Treasurer, at the same time Charles M. Schwab was selected as President. He has acquired the same knowledge and ability to do big things in any emergency, that has made Charles M. Schwab competent to fill the most important position in the world to day. The United States Government is the largest business enterprise in the world today and next to the President and his cabinet, United States Senate or the Nation's most important office to fill. Why not send Mr. Phipps one of the Nation's and the State's ablest men, to represent Colorado in the United States Senate? His selection would give the Nation a man in needs and Colorado the right kind of representation in Washington. Make him your choice at the Primary, September 10th.—Adv.

Stong ALAMOSA, COLO Received Highest Designation at State Assembly ARMY HEALTH RATE BEST EVER KNOWN DEATHS FROM DISEASE REMARK ABLY FEW, BOTH AT HOME AND IN FOREIGN LANDS. TWO NAVY HEROES ARE CITED Rowed Through Flames to Rescue Men From Burning Spanish Steamship—Work of Children's Year Is Proving Very Effective. A health rate which as far as known has never been surpassed has been established by the American armies both here and overseas, according to reports received by Surgeon General Gorgas. For a recent week the combined reports of the American expeditionary forces and of troops stationed in the United States show an annual death rate for disease of 1.9 per 1,000, less than two men per 1,000 per year. The annual death rate from disease of men of military age in civil life is 6.7 per 1,000. This new rate is based on approximate strength of 2,500,000 men, and includes men living under abnormal conditions. The oversens' record was made while American soldiers were participating in the heavy fighting in the Marne salient, when they were compelled frequently to sleep and eat under the most primitive conditions. That this record is truly representative of the general health of the troops is shown by the combined reports which indicate the figure of 2.8 per 1,000 as the average death rate from disease during the past two months. An idea of the progress being made in military sanitation is gained by a comparison with the following: During the Mexican war the annual death rate from disease was 100 per 1,000. During the American Civil war the rate in 1862 was 40 per 1,000, while during 1863 the rate jumped to 60 per 1,000. The disease death rate for the Spanish-American war was 25 per 1,000. As far as available records show the lowest figure heretofore recorded was 20 per 1,000 during the Russo-Japanese war. Two men of the American navy proved themselves heroes and won commendation from Secretary Daniels for the rescue of seven men from the burning Spanish steamship Seranes July 13 last. They are William E. King, seaman, and Clarence F. Ready, machinist's mate, second class, U. S. N. R. F., of the U. S. S. Isls. The two men took the port launch of the Isis to the side of the burning ship and rescued from the burning forecastle seven men who were hemmed in by flames and who were too panic stricken to jump into the water. The launch's trip to the Serantes was made through an area of burning gasoline and the rescuers were in constant and imminent peril. Their commanding officer reports that the conduct of King and Ready during this time was cool and courageous. They probably owe their own lives and the lives of those they rescued to their stendy nerves and cool judgment. Their commendation was for bravery and their initiative in undertaking the rescue. The army general staff has completed plans for expansions at some of the camps and changes at training centers. Additional plans are being worked out and will be put into effect. Camp Hancock, Georgia, is to be a machine gun center and will be enlarged to accommodate between 55,000 and 60,000 men. The officers' training school now housed in tents at this camp will be provided for in barracks and quarters similar to those at other cantonments. These improvements outside of enlargement of the camp, will cost about $2,000,000. It has been decided to make Camp Grant an infantry replacement camp to accommodate between 55,000 and 60,000 men. The present capacity of this camp is about 42,000. The alterations and changes necessary will be made after the division now located there has been removed. Field artillery firing centers are to be located at West Point, Ky., Camp Jackson, S. C., and Fayetteville, N. C. Options on sufficient land for this purpose have been secured at all these places. It is planned to locate six brigades at Fayettesville, six at West Point and four at Jackson. It has been decided also to erect permanent buildings for the officers' training schools at present housed in tents at Camps Lee, Gordon and Pike. These schools have a capacity of about 6,000 men. The estimated cost of these improvements is about $6,000,000. As a result of the immediate and growing needs of the army for trained nurses, Miss Jane A. Delano, director of the department of nursing of the Red Cross, has sent an appeal for enlistments from this year's graduating classes at 3,000 nurse training institutions throughout the country. It is expected that about 13,000 students will be graduated as nurses between now and October 1, and it is hoped many of these graduates will be enrolled so they can be assigned to the nurse corps before that date. The work of children's year is proving to be an effective Americanization measure. The children's bureau of the labor department has as its goal 100,000 baby lives saved this year. According to reports received, foreign mothers are as eager as the native mothers, if not more so, to learn all they can about the proper care of their children. The Japanese women of Seattle are asking for pamphlets on prenatal care, the Italian women of Wallace, Idaho, 1,500 strong, have arranged to study a standard book on the care and feeding of children, with the aid of an interpreter. The foreign mothers of the remote lumbering regions of Washington and of the manufacturing cities of New England are united by the common desire to learn everything possible about safeguarding the health of their children. This desire is resulting in the breaking down of the barriers of alien language and old-world superstition that have long stood in the way of the health of little Americans born of foreign parents. It has been necessary in many cities to employ interpreters at the weighing and measuring centers to answer the questions of mothers who do not speak English. Classes in the care of baby being conducted in Seattle and Pittsburg are made a means of teaching mothers to speak and read English. Perhaps the most important educational measure that has been adopted is the provision of public health nurses whose function it is not only to give care and service to the slick but to advise mothers how to keep their children well. As a result of Children's year activities many communities have succeeded in obtaining public or private funds for public health nursing. Wisconsin has adopted the slogan, "A Public Health Nurse for Every County," and in Washington state an active campaign for school nurses is being carried on. The work of the state councils of defense has been so valuable to the country that it has drawn public commendation from President Wilson with an accompanying suggestion that its unique and widespread organization be utilized by all government departments and agencies so far as practical. Secretary Baker, chairman of the council of national defense, which brought the state councils into existence, reported to the president: "It is difficult to estimate the importance of the service rendered, since our entrance into the war, by these state councils, their county councils and the multitude of workers banded together under them, whom we estimate to number at least one million. I feel sure that you, Mr. President, as their commander in chief, will be proud of their unique contribution in the war and will use your authority to broaden the scope of their activities as conditions permit so that they may go on to still greater achievements." The state councils, says Secretary Baker, have active county, or equivalent, councils of defense under them, while in nearly every state the organization of community councils in the school districts, bringing the government to the people and the people to the government, is progressing rapidly. The president replied: "I shall be glad to have you express to the state councils my appreciation of the service they have so usefully rendered. I am particularly struck by the value of extending our defense organization into the smallest communities and by the truly democratic character of a national system so organized. I believe in the soundness of your contention that in the interest of economy and efficiency such machinery as that provided by the state council system for the execution of many kinds of war work should be utilized as far as possible by federal departments and administrations." A recent proclamation by President Wilson puts into effect provisions of the shipping act making it impossible for foreign interests to obtain control of American shipping or shipyards. Chairman Edward N. Hurley of the shipping board explains that the new laws provide that during war or national emergency proclaimed by the president, it is a criminal offense to sell, mortgage, lease or deliver an American ship to a foreigner without the consent of the shipping board, or to make any agreement by which control of a ship is turned over to a foreigner. The prohibition applies not only to completed ships, but to ships under construction. It is made illegal, without the board's consent, to make any contract for ship construction for foreign account, unless the contract expressly provides that construction on the ship shall not begin until after the war or the emergency has ended. Shipyards, also, cannot be transferred to foreigners without the consent of the shipping board. The act has provisions which it is believed will prevent all attempts to evade the ship-transfer sections of the law by means of dummy directors and stockholders in corporations nominally American but actually dominated by foreigners. Farmers who have been placed in army service deferred classifications to stimulate production are organizing throughout the country and reporting to Secretary Houston of the department of agriculture. "We are ready with 110 per cent increase of wheat, or whatever else you may call upon us to do to help win the war," is their message to the secretary. The shipping board has allotted a vessel to bring coffee from Brazil to the United States to prevent a possible coffee shortage.

But they are or grouped, or through sub-agents, at last they, and the existence of such deceivers will so NOT POOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME in primary election and political parasites will fit here. THERE are yet with us some of the so-called colored politicians who again welcome an election, as they anxiously look forward to such events to replenish their depleted financial coffers, or as they term it—"raise a job"—a job which is never representative an one, and which in many instances lowers the status of the mass of respectable tax-paying Negro residents in the estimation of other citizens. These undesirables, besides playing politics in the old discreditable way, have a new slogan attached, which runs—NO PARTY ISSUE NOW, ONLY THE MAN; yet they are at one time in the Republican headquarters caucusing with Republicans and another time with Democrats, and then a bi-partisan group built upon the new doctrine, NO PARTY—THE MAN. We are glad to note that such characters have outplayed themselves as they have not even influence with the gang they led in former campaigns, and having been discovered by both parties, they have to hide, cloak or find a refuge in—THE MAN. Now to all well-thinking Denver people and other Coloradoans, let us find out what these agents have done in the shape of success for themselves, any organizations they are connected with, or what have "the men" whose glorious deeds (?) they now declare on behalf of our race or the community done before their intention to acquire present political honors. When the Negro race in Denver or anywhere else is befriended by a wealthy white man or large white corporations in the way of great financial benefactions, it is impossible to keep that fact hidden, as white benefactors to prove their true American spirit generally get publicity whether voluntarily, and then the good news would be inserted in every Negro journal we could possibly get in touch with. How many Negroes in Denver know of the great things that have been done for them as a whole by a Denver financier? The man who because of certain obligations must boost, support, and do everything in his power to help his immediate employer to succeed in a political campaign is not necessarily denounced, does not merit our disapproval, should not be treated harshly, as his case can be seen through, and it stands to reason that any one in a similar position might have done the same—something common to human nature. But the accredited NEGRO LEADERS, who get in the front whether requested or not, barter in the game of the sale of their race, and fall to the side that produces the greater monetary reward, filling the role of THE UNDESIRABLES, as following their career from state to state, city to city, their indulgence in the old game keeps them apparently luxurious until an analysis is made and their positions found to be in the "soap bubble" order. These are the agents of destruction in our community and among our colored electors, who like the sparks that fly upwards try to alight on something, who live their days of probabilities, unstable in their general actions, get out of sight like the caterpillar, returning at election periods in the resplendence of the butterfly. But they are known, whether individually or grouped, or through sub-agents, at last they find our people are thinking, and the existence of such deceivers will soon be forgotten.

Being quite aware of this, we must convince the politician or political aspirant who is always advised to play to the gallery as there is no improvement of the "long ago," and the usual continues when a few dollars, entertainments, etc., here and there with a few wild-fire speeches, prey on the gullibility of our people, that we are beginning to think, and with our thoughts go actions, and eliminating the selfishness from our very existence we are acquiring broader vision, clearer view, greater conception of the part we must play in our choice of public representatives to shape our destiny and guide our nation to the goal of success which is needed now more than any time in our history. What then can we honestly do but stand firmly on the rock of facts presented to us by the men seeking these public positions, garrisoning ourselves with every knowledge thereof and fortifying ourselves mentally so that we can reason the matter thoroughly, arriving at a conclusion that will merit the approval and commendation of the mass of electors, insuring for us the best advantages to be gotten for the people of this GREAT REPUBLIC. Reflecting for a moment on the numerous arguments in our law-making body before and since our entrance into the war during the present administration, and in not a single incident did the champions of the people, whether for or against the measures that were brought forward, show a lack of qualification in presenting their cause and in some cases where they did not succeed, yet they were praised for the masterly manner they advocated the cause of their constituencies. This stands preeminently, that qualification and the special training for legislative actions whether in a greater or lesser degree, are indispensable to the successful official career of the people's leaders as well as the good results that must necessarily follow. We are compelled therefore, guided by these honest convictions, to quote the following, which is so plain that it needs no emphatic declaration or elaboration, as even the most ordinary mind can grasp, and there is every reason to believe that the majority of the colored voters who will not attempt the risk of a lay man at this time will evince every interest in the PRIMARY ELECTION to be held Tuesday, Sept. 10th, and by an overwhelming majority prove that the gray matter remaining dormant for all these years has aroused itself and will perform in a manner becoming its possessors: "The United States is a Legislative body. Its principal function is to investigate and ascertain the needs and necessities of all classes of the people, and when the facts are found, to prepare and pass statutes and laws which are in accord with the Constitution of the United States, and which shall secure the greatest good for the greatest number of the citizens of the United States. The best equipped United States senator is one who knows the needs and requirements of all classes of American people, who knows the Constitution and the laws and statutes of the United States, who by education, observation and practical experience has broad vision, a clear understanding of the country's intricate affairs—both present and past—and a clear and true conception of the country's future needs. The lawyer is resorted to by successful business men to guide and conduct their affairs; is always chosen because he possesses all these qualifications, and all these qualifications must be possessed by any successful and influential United States senator." After reading the manifesto of CHARLES W. WATERMAN and relying on the facts presented us, we can come to no other conclusion than the layman is not fitted to meet the present emergency, while the PROFESSIONAL being peculiarly trained and by education and experience is really the logical candidate for the people. Town councils, state boards and even state offices have been meddled with by laymen only to give the same proof of failure, but the necessity demands MEN THOROUGHLY COMPETENT and qualified, and therefore the consensus of opinion and support points to Charles W. Waterman, fearless champion of the people, who knows no CLASS, CREED, COLOR. ONLY 100 PER CENT AMERICANISM. TO YOUR DESKS, YE PUPILS! Again the sounding of gongs, the clanging of bells, remind the playful schoolboy that vacation is no longer; also the regular park attendant, the constant movie visitor in feminine garb that the return to drilling over the almost numberless pages of this author and that historian is fast approaching, and with renewed vigor and a greater inspiration, educational advantages must be grasped firmly to fit them for the great reconstruction period that will dawn after the cessation of the present hostilities. Within a few years the percentage of illiteracy in our country will have greatly diminished. No longer will the mentally strong find victims in a great plurality as was evidenced in our recent draft calls, but seeing the disadvantage under which fellow citizens labored, our boys and girls will not make light of this grand opportunity, but push on with a stronger determination to be of the greatest service to the nation in removing the scales that now cover the mental vision of their fellow Americans. Parents have their duties to perform. The child-labor law sustains you in your contention of the youth being both mentally and physically developed to increase his money earning capacity, therefore do your duty. Play your part in the best manner possible and the combined efforts of parents and pupils will bring about a result astonishing to the throng of pessimists surrounding us. There must be no holding back. Push on, setting high ideals and standards. Start in at your opening day with cheerfulness and run for the prize which is yours. Remember, "a little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, etc." The Colorado Statesman wishes you a very successful career this semester. NEWS FROM ESTES PARK. By Henry J. D. Sample. The month of August has been the busiest month of the season at the Stanley hotel. Three of the waiters, Clifford Gore, Theodore Johnson and Hobart Walker, closed their season at the Stanley hotel on the 25th inst., and left immediately for their home in West Virginia in order to resume their studies when school opens, which will be the first week in September. Mrs. A. J. Jenkins of Colorado Springs and her beautiful little daughter, Isabelle, who have been enjoying their vacation in the Park, gave a camera-party for the hotel boys Sunday afternoon. Many good snapshots were taken from the cliffs overlooking the hotel. Most of the boys will close their engagement for the season about Sept. 15. Quite an interesting letter from Willard K. Childress was read to the boys of the Stanley hotel last evening, urging the boys to write often. Mr. Childress says in part that the drill work at Camp Lewis is very strenuous, part of their drill consisting of chopping down trees and attending night school. Your correspondent is mailing six months' subscription to the Colorado Statesman, their home paper, and are advising others who are too busy to write to send their favorite periodical. Let us do all in our power to cheer the boys up. We should be as eager to make heroes as we are to applaud them. CAMPBELL CHAPEL, AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH. Following the morning sermon, our last general class for this conference year will be held in Campbell Chapel, African M. E. church, and the holy communion will follow the evening sermon on Sunday. Much interest is being manifested int he 10th annual barbecue and Labor Day dinner at Campbell Chapel on Monday. The hoisting of a service flag for our own boys, under the auspices of the Spanish war veterans, will be the feature of the evening. Interesting services were held in Campbell Chapel, A. M. E. church, throughout the day last Sunday. Pastor A. Milton Ward delivered an able sermon. Captain Allen G. Fallings was happily converted and joined the church. The church was also glad to welcome into its membership Mrs. Mabel Young, daughter of Sister Belle Washington. Presiding Elder R. L. Pope will hold the fourth and last quarterly conference for this conference year on Thursday evening, Sept. 5, at Campbell Chapel. With Self Forgot. Greatness is achieved, not by direct and eager chase, but while we are looking for something else. It is the little things we get by hot endeavor. The great things come to us, as it were around a corner. We never become beautiful, or eloquent, or popular, or happy, or intellectual, or even good, by hard labor. Whatever we get of such things will come to us when we are most self-forgetful, and most absorbed in the service of our kind.—Edward Judson.

This gives plenty of room for the tops to stand, without breaking. To make a juicy pie that will have a crisp lower crust, rub the under crust with egg white, before filling; this hardens when baking, making a hard sheet between the fruit and the crust. Make a small paper funnel and insert in the center of the crust. The juice will boll up in this without overflowing the crust. Sour milk when used in cake makes a more tender, better-flavored crust, and it keeps moist longer. Use one-half teaspoonful of soda to a cupful of sour milk. Baking powder in small quantity may also be added when using sour milk and soda. Can spinach, chard, beet greens and beets for winter now. Lettuce that has become tough also makes fine greens. A good crack filler is made from one pound of flour rubbed smoothly with a little water. Add three quarts of boiling water and set on the stove. Stir in one tablespoonful of powdered alum, together with torn bits of newspapers; cook until the mass is smooth and thick as pastry. When using buckwheat flour, the same amount may be used in any recipe in which wheat flour is used, but the liquid must be increased as buckwheat thickens more than the same measure of flour. A floor wax for dulled varnish is made by blending half a pound of beeswax with half a pint of turpentine. Shave the wax and heat in a double boiler until melted, then add the turpentine with the same amount of linseed oil. Dust mops made from old stocking legs, soaked in paraffin oil until saturated then dried well, are as good as those sold in the stores.

The Iron Cross is a Prussian order of the merit instituted by Frederick William III of Prussia on March 10, 1813, as a reward for bravery during the war of liberation against France. The decoration is a Maltese cross of iron, edged with silver, and worn either around the neck or in the buttonhole. This order was revived by William 1, king of Prussia, on July 19, 1870, on the eve of the France-Prussian war, and was bestowed by him on his son, the crown prince, for the victory of Wissimbourg, August 4, 1870.

THE LAND ARMY OF AMERICA By JESSE LYNCH WILLIAMS Of The Vigilantes "I had to hire them for my farm because I couldn't get men. . . . Neighboring farmers who borrowed some of them later hated to admit that they were more efficient than man workers, but had to!" The farmer who wrote those words employed 25 girls last summer to get in his crops, some of them girls from the "seasonal trades" out of a job, others students or college graduates out for a vacation, but few, if any, of them experienced hand hands. He made two important discoveries. First, that they were good workers. Second, that this kind of work was good for women, and as this farmer is none other than Doctor Sargent, the director-of physical training, he ought to know. He adds that he did not have a chance to try them at plowing or heavy work, though they can do that too, but at other kinds of farm work he found them in all ways the equal and in some ways the superior of men. They do not average as strong as men, though in proportion to their weight they are, but they made up in care and thoroughness what they lacked in "heft," and they did not loaf on the job when the boss was not looking. Women are nearly always more conscientious than the "superior sex." Has Come to Stay. The Woman's Land Army of America is still a new thing in most parts of the country, but it has come to stay and the sooner the farmers of America get that idea through their heads and live down their old-fashioned prejudice against this "new-fangled notion" the better for them and for the country. Every man released from the farm means one more man for the army or for other war work not done by women. A year ago almost every farmer in the country shared this impractical and unpatriotic prejudice. Such prejudices die hard. All our prejudices about women die hard. I will give an amusing illustration. Last summer a number of "units" were employed in various parts of Westchester county, New York. A "unit" means a squad of woman workers (a "gang" we might call it, if they were men) who live and work together under the charge of a competent older woman experienced in agriculture, a sort of forewoman who manages the whole outfit, which includes their own cook and food and bedding. The farmer does not supply MEETING THE EMERGENCY By VIVIAN M. MOSES Of The Vigilantes When H. G. Wells called the present war the war of machines he had in mind the vast quantities of engines of war used at the front—the ordnance, both large and small, the bomb-mortars and mine-throwers, gas-projectors, airplanes and tanks employed in the actual fighting. But there is another sense in which this is the war of machines even more truly than that in which the great British novelist used the term; for on the machines in the shops and factories of the allied nations depends an allied victory—on the machines and the men who drive them. As has been the case with each of her allies, the United States since it entered the war has had to increase stupendously the output of its machine shops. This result is being accomplished by the erection of new plants, by the enlargement and increase in facilities of the shops already engaged in the production of war products, and by the conversion to this purpose of plants previously engaged in other work. The problem of multiplying the shops to work in is a comparatively simple one; more difficult is the problem of supplying the skilled workmen to fill these shops. Obviously we cannot quadruple our skilled workmen by the old methods of apprenticeship and training fast enough to meet the nation's needs. The old method has been found wanting. It consisted in taking the raw, unskilled laborer into the shop, starting him at the simplest work that could be found, and letting him fight his way slowly and painfully to the status of a trained mechanic. It was a method which wasted the three precious elements, time, material and man-power. New Way Was Found. The training accomplished by private and public vocational and technical schools brings far better results, but produces too small a quantity of skilled mechanics to meet the emergency. France found a new way. Great Britain has adopted it. And now America must get in line—is already getting in line, in fact, with gratifying results. For the new method is swift, is sure, is comparatively cheap. It turns the grocer boy or the school teacher into a skilled mechanic with equal facility. It is the method of the shop training school. Shop training schools are now main- anything except the wages and possibly a place to put up a few tents The farmer's wife has no bother or extra work in the matter at all. Well every one of these units in Westchester county made good, and there were exactly as many surprised farmers in Westchester county as there were units. At the end of the season each employer was asked, "Will you employ woman farm hands again next year?" Each farmer made exactly the same reply, "Yes, if I can get the same women." Each thought that he had happened to have the luck to get the only good bunch of girls! Sly, shrewd fellows those farmers! For it seemed to them quite obvious that women as a class could not be good farm laborers. A perfectly natural prejudice. Men as a class have always had the same certainty that women could never be good at anything "outside of the home" until they went out and made good at everything from voting and doctoring to driving ambulances, and even at fighting in the trenches when the necessity arose over in poor betrayed Russia. Kent Island From Starving. Kept Island From Starving. American farmers, however, are the most enlightened in the world. Perhaps it will not take them so long to get the idea into their heads as it required to beat it into the British brain. In England, even after the scarcity of farm labor had become more acute than it is here now, the "woman's land army" movement was almost blighted by masculine prejudice until the government became alarmed and turned a clever trick. Prizes were offered at the county fairs for public competitions for woman workers in various departments of farm work. This aroused considerable curiosity and created a great deal of discussion. The question, however, was not whether girls could do farm work, but which girl could do it best! Big crowds gathered. Bets were made. Rivalry ran high. And when it was demonstrated before the astonished eyes of the British farmers that these "farm lassies," as they now affectionately term their "farmerettes" over there, not only knew their job but were experts at it, the prejudice broke down and the country was saved. The woman's land army of England, now 300,000.strong, has kept the island from starving. This patriotic fact has been publicly acknowledged in parliament. There are already 17 states of the Union organized under the Woman's Land Army of America, and in New York alone 3,000 farmrettes are registered for this season. It is a fine patriotic service, a good thing for the farmer who can thus get good sober, industrious laborers at a cheap rate, a good thing for the girls, who can thus get a wholesome outing as well as fair wages, and the best thing of all for the nation, which needs food and needs men, and needs them at once. tained by most of the larger metalworking plants engaged in manufacture of war products. They are spaces set aside for this purpose alone, and equipped with machines of every type used in the shops proper. An expert mechanic especially selected for his aptitude for this work is in charge in each of these shops, and under him other skilled mechanics act as teachers. Here are received the raw or undertrained applicants for work. They are assigned to the types of work to which they best seem fitted, and quickly and practically instructed in this work at the very machines which they will have to operate in the main shops. They work with the materials and on the actual orders upon which the shop is engaged and the product of their labors becomes a part of the output of the shop. They are paid a fair hourly wage as learners, and this wage increases as the skill of the learner enables him to increase his output. The results obtained in these shop training schools are almost beyond belief. The ideal conditions under which a raw man is taught to handle his machine enable him to become a skilled mechanic in a small fraction of the time formerly consumed in the old method under which he picked up knowledge bit by bit in the shop from such other workmen as had time to help him. Mechanics Are Needed. For example, here, in a New England shop, is a grocer's man, after a week's training, operating his milling machine effectively, and reading the blue-print related to his work. Here, in an Ohio shop, are three girls formerly employed in a department store; they are now operating heavy hand-turret lathes on work requiring great precision; and the length of their training required variously from three to ten days. "Here is a particularly capable woman," says an expert from one of the greatest American war factories, visiting another shop (speaking of one who was probably a teacher). "How long have you been here?" he asks this product of the shop training school. "I came yesterday," replies the woman, who is working a great turret-lathe. America needs skilled mechanics, and needs them greatly. The shop training schools will supply this need, quickly and efficiently. To the employer they offer the surest method of supplying the trained operators without which his machines cannot turn. To the individual seeking employment or willing to take a place in the swelling ranks of those providing the snows of war for the American government, the shop training schools provide the opportunity for becoming, without undergoing a long period of training or probation, skilled mechanics, worthy of and receiving the wondrously high rates of payment which trained labor is commanding. Labor Day ON this day each year America honors labor, and it does so with special sincerity because America is a community of work. There is no leisure class worth speaking of in this country, which is worth thinking of whenever we consider our country's problems. For while workers will disagree on a good many things, may find many interests clashing, may be often struggling against each other in one way or another, there is something that is deeper than all these differences, the common tie of work, the fact that we are all on the job, the big job which we call America. NEVER since the first Labor Day was celebrated has this truth come home to us as it does today. If in time of peace we divide and disagree on many things, and often forget that we are all laborers on the big job, today we must remember that inspiring truth and draw closer in the love of America and a new consciousness of what America means to us and what we mean to one another—the director of vast financial forces and the man at the lathe or the throttle, the captain of industry, and the man or woman who sells its products across the counter, the judge on the bench, the farmer at the plow, the doctor in the sick room, the laborer on the railroad right of way, the woman in the nursery, the kitchen, the school, or the office. LABOR Day this year is a day to be long remembered, a day of inspiration, a day of clasped hands and uplifted hearts, a day of solemn union, of unwavering resolution, of sacrifice, and yet of confident hope and inspiring purpose. America is at war for a world which will be freer, safer, and happier for all men. hours shortened. The wonder is that it took mankind so long to recognize the fact. EIGHT-HOUR DAY CENTURIES AGO In the olden days, when one man made a pair of shoes, let us say, he could exercise his mind and please his taste in designing and creating them. Mistake to Look on It as a Comparatively Recent Innovation. In these days, to stand all day turning a piece of metal back and forth, or tending a machine that cuts out leather heels, is to flatten the mind, pervert the soul and darken the life. The more people you have working long hours at these deadly employments the worst for the average condition of the population, which is the only national strength. Lengthened Working Time Was Brought About as Result of Change in the Methods of Production in the World. Everything that really counts comes out of the masses, the common people, the general run of mankind. By CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL. HEAR and read the outgivings of many eminent minds about an eight-hour day, and they all seem All the inventions that amount to anything come from that source. All the ideas that really help come from what the snobs call plebeian to proceed upon the theory that eight hours for a day's work is a recent invention, a leap in the dark, a during experiment, and nobody knows what may come of it. sources. It's only the average that counts, and there isn't much chance for a high average in intelligence when the workers toil long hours. New Dawn of Freedom As a matter of fact, it is so old it makes Bunker Hill monument look like a thing of yesterday. It existed before the ten-hour day, the twelve-hour day or the fourteen-hour day. Four hundred years ago among our forefathers an eight-hour working day was the rule and standard. It seems very strange to be ar- If there had been no change in the way we produced things, eight hours Nearly 70 years have passed since Australia adopted the eight-hour day. April 21, 1856, was the day. In Australia it is celebrated now as a kind of Fourth of July—a day of national freedom and greatness. would probably be the standard today, and anybody that wanted to lengthen it would be looked upon as a demagogue and revolutionist. Time's Changes Seen In the United States we are still talking about it more or less. "The glorious spirit of American progress" goes rather lame when you think of that. It was only because we had an enormous increase in the pressure for production, particularly since the introduction of factories and steam, that the working day was lengthened until life came to mean for the workers nothing but toll and sleep. GOD'S GIFTS ARE FOR TOILER Parable Shows That Only Those Willing to Bear Burdens May Enjoy the Good Things. In modern times the increase of labor-saving machinery should have offset all that. The average factory hand or transportation worker now is 200 or 300 times as efficient as the average worker of 75 years ago, but he is no better off. The huge increase in his output has not shortened his hours. Once upon a time there was a man who said, "I will work no more, and God will take care of me." And so he gave away all he had and sat down to wait for God to take care of him. After awhile he became hungry and nothing came his way. But in the distance he saw some horses laden with packs which he knew contained food to eat. And so he grew so hungry that he followed them. This is plainly wrong. It is rottenly and intolerably wrong. It is dangerously wrong for the community. The eight-hour movement seeks to set it right. Up the hill he toiled, while still in the distance were the food-laden horses. They led him a fine march, and he grew weaker with the hunger. At last he came near to where the horses had stopped earlier in the day, and there he found food that had been left over. The eight-hour idea means something to the works, but a lot more to the rest of society. See how this is. Up to 1874 women and children worked 16 hours a day, or something like that, in the Welsh coal mines. "This is harder than work," he said, "and now I realize that God will take care of the man who is up and doing, but if you sit down and wait the horses will pass you by, carrying, God's gifts on their backs."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Women harnessed like cattle dragged from the mines great baskets of coal. There was a board in the center of the runway with cleats nailed upon it. Bent far over, their heads almost to the ground, the women braced their feet against these cleats and tugged at their loads. IS it necessary to add that such strength implies solemn responsibilities? Must Americans be told that forces so far-reaching and so potent in the country and the world are inseparably united with the fate of the nation and the obligations of citizenship? The labor organizations and their leaders are today closer than ever before to direct contact with the government, and more than ever in the past they are bound to give full consideration to public needs, public interests and public authority. Most of them were unsexed by their toll. Nature mercifully made them incapable of bearing children. The rest, if they had offspring, brought forth idiots. Serve Like Cattle Like Cattle The little children that worked in the mines were so injured or brutalized that they grew up either criminals or strange types of imbeciles. Momentous Labor Day Labor day has a special meaning in this country. It is especially a day celebrated by organized labor. Even in this aspect this Labor day has a renewed significance, for in this hour on the nation's grave decision trade unionism throughout the land has pledged the strength of its arm and the force of its spirit to the defense of the big job, the job of America. There is no element of the nation's strength at this moment more inspiring than this rallying of union labor, its leaders and its rank and file, to the nation's cause. This is the enlightened will of free men, conscious of the big job and ready to defend it. Society had to pay for all this, and pay appalling costs. It is paying for them still. Yet when it was proposed to do no more than to mitigate some of its worst features, mine owners violently protested and said they would be ruined. In this case of the Welsh coal mines the government determined to risk the ruin, and reduced the hours of labor. After a time observers were astonished to see that social conditions improved, general intelligence rose, good order increased, and the general welfare grew in proportion as the working BAPAUME AND NOYON CAPTURED HAIG GRAPPLING FOR ROAD TO CAMBRAI—MEN THROWN ACROSS AILETTE. PERONNE OUTFLANKED AMERICAN AND FRENCH TROOPS ARE DRIVING ENEMY FROM PICARDY POSITIONS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, Aug. 30.—It is estimated by experts here that the German losses in killed alone now reach a total of more than 2,000,000, and probably approach 3,000,000. These figures were given out after a study of tables of German and allied losses which have been published. The total entente allied captures on the western front since July 18 now approach 120,000 prisoners and 2,000 guns. The British captured more than 21,000 prisoners between Aug. 21 and Aug. 26, while the British total losses in the same period, including all killed, wounded and missing, were only slightly in excess of that figure. The Germans continue in retreat everywhere between Arras and the Solssons sector under the violent attacks by the allied troops. As yet there seems to be no slackening in the offensive that is steadily reclaiming numerous French towns and villages and territory that long has been in the hands of the enemy. Indeed, instead of halting his men for a breathing spell, Marshal Foch seems to be pushing them forward Already outflanking the old Hindenburg line on the north Field Marshal Haig's forces gradually are cutting their way eastward both north and south of the Somme and putting down strong counter offensive actions, although on several sectors they have had to cede ground temporarily. Official reports assert that the British have captured the important town of Bapaume, where for days there has been bitter fighting, the Germans exerting their utmost strength to keep Haig's men from gaining control of the railways and the high road leading to Cambrai. To the south the British also are reported to have penetrated to the outskirts of Maurepas, another point of strategic value. Along both sides of the Somme running eastward ground has been gained and south of Peronne, where the river bends sharply southward, the stream has been crossed at several points and this important railroad junction outflanked. Since the caving in of the German line by the fall of Chaulnus and Roye the French literally have overrun the southern portion of Picardy, having reached the western bank of the Canal du Nord along its entire length and captured the town of Noyon which, surrounded by hills, has stood defiantly for days under a rain of shells. East and southeast of Noyon other important positions have been taken and between the Oise and the Alsne the French have overcome the heavy resistance of the enemy and crossed the Allette river. Northwest of Soissons, where the Americans are in the line with the French in the general movement of clearing Picardy of the enemy, there has been severe fighting but with the allied troops having the advantage. The American sector is between Chavigny and Juvigny and the enemy facing them includes the Prussian Seventh infantry. Along the Vesle river at Bazoches and Fismette the situation is rather less tense than it was Tuesday and Wednesday when heavy fighting occurred between the Americans and the Germans. Thursday the Americans heavily shelled the German positions, but the Germans failed to accept their challenge to a duel and replied only feebly. The claim of the German war office that 250 Americans were made prisoner during the recent fighting is denied by the Americans who assert that only a few of their men are missing. PAY STUDENTS FOR SERVICE Barracks Will Be Erected at Colleges and Military Discipline Enforced. Denver.—The boys constituting the membership of the student army training corps will receive full army pay, live in barracks, eat at an army mess and wear army uniforms, according to an official communication received by the students' war service committee at the State House. Construction work on barracks will begin immediately at the colleges of the state. Purchasing Price of Dollar Shrinks. Washington.—Comparison of food prices prevailing now with those of five years ago by the Department of Labor shows that the purchasing power of a dollar bill has shrunk to 54 cents in Washington and Baltimore, 75 cents in Philadelphia, 59 cents in New York and Chicago, and 63 cents in San Francisco. Food which could be bought for $1 in July, 1913, now costs $1.85 in Washington, $1.68 in New York, $1.69 in Chicago and $1.58 in San Francisco. Sales Daily at 2 p.m. Office Furniture a Specialty.

Remember that vegetables have their own particular part to play in the diet, which neither meats nor cereals nor fruits nor sweets can play. Green Corn Pudding. This is a delicious way to serve either sweet corn or the tender field corn. A little sugar may be added to the field corn, if desired. Husk and silk 12 good-sized ears of corn, Slice off half the kernel with a sharp knife, and with the blunt edge of the knife scrape out the milky part that remains on the cob. Add a table- spoonful of butter, salt and pepper, and three-quarters cupful of milk. Bake for 45 minutes, allowing it to brown on top. This makes a creamy dish, which is best served in the pan or baking dish in which It bakes. Buttered Carrots. Wash and scrape small carrots and cut In narrow strips, Cook three cup: fuls of the carrots in just enough wa- ter to cover. When ca,rots are tender and only a small amount of water re- mains, add a tablespoonful of butter Cook slowly until nlmost all of the re maining water has evaporated, ‘The carrots will have a delicious flavor cooked this way and none of the min: erals will be wasted. String beans cut In halves lengthwise or parsnips cut In strips, are also good served thi: way. A frying basket should be warmed in the oven before being put into hot fat. It will thus not reduce the tem- perature of the fat THEREFORE THE ARBITRATION OF LABOR DISPUTES !S PRAC- TICALLY ENFORCED Now. COMPULSION REALLY MORAL Senate Must Soon Pass on an Out-and- Out Prohibition Proposition—Nelson Thinks Soldiers Shouldn't Be Cod- died Too Much. = py ARTHUR _W. DUNN. Washington.—Arbitration of labor disputes 1s practically enforced now ; not quite “compulsory arbitration,” to which labor has made considerable ob- Jectlon, but it practically amounts to that. Nearly, all of the labor of the present day is tied up with the war in one way or another. There can be no strike of any proportions ‘which does not affect the war work being carried on by the government. Con- sequently It has become necessary for the government to take up and settle labor disputes. After these Inbor disputes are arbl- trated by the commission which was named by the president, there Is no le- gal power to compel men to accept the decisions. Employers must nc cept them, because most of the em- ployers are engaged In doing work nec- essary to carry on the war, But there 1s a great moral “compulsion” which 1s sufficient to make the labor men accept just and equitable conclusions of the authorities. Public opinion In this country would not justify a strike which would interfere with the mak- Ing of materinis necessary to carry ‘on the war. | Within a few weeks now the sen- ‘ate of the United States will be up against a prohibition proposition, pure and simple. ‘The amendment which has heen held in order by a vote of the senate and will be attached to the ag- ricultural’ survey Dill, is destined to make the nation bone-dry the last of next January. unless ~omething hap- pens, First, the bill can be talked to death, as there is no agreement to vote on it; second, it might be vetoed by the president on the ground that prohibition at this time would serious- Iy Interfere with the revenues of the government. ‘The men who are re- sponsible for legislating to raise rev- enue are very much disturbed over the losses which will be entailed when prohibition becomes effective. Look- ing ahend as fur as 1920, when the pro- hibition constitutional amendment is likely to go Into effect, these revenue raisers say that the continuance of the war beyond that time will make it extremely difficult for them to find methods of taxation to raise enough money to carry on the government. In view of this state of affairs, the sena- tors who are now in Washington have heen looking forward to the coming prohibition contest with a grent deal of interest. One day when the senate was dis- cussing mail facilities and the neces- sity of soldiers receiving mall more regularly than they have been since they went abroad, Senator Nelson of Minnesota took occasion to utter a number of pointed remarks. ‘The tenor of his speech was to the effect that we ought not to try to coddle the sol- ers top much. While it Is a good thing for the soldiers to get mall, It 1s not to be expected that they wonld have a letter from mother with thelr morning coffee each day. “I remem- ber when I was in the army,” sald the Minnesota senator, “that we didn’t have very much for the chaplains to do when we were in the field and so we turned the chaplains into postmas- ters and they distributed the mull and became very useful. It is good thing for the soldiers to get mail, but the other business of carrying on the war must not be hampered in order to carry packages céntaining sweet- meats and knick-knacks to the soldiers in France.” ‘The Red Cross has been reaping a golden harvest from sources that prob- ably do not contribute as cheerfuly as does the ordinary citizen. When food administration officials were figuring on what punishment should be Infilct- ed on dealers in foodstuffs who trans- gressed the administration's rules, someone hit upon the idea of fining the guilty ones and turning the money over to the Red Cross, or some other branch of war work. This scheme {s workin: splendidly. ne firm not long ago was invited to turn over $20,000, and $1,000 assessments are quite com- mon. | While there {s reluctance on the part of quite a number of mem- hers of both senate and honse to accept the new suggestions of the war department extending the draft ages, there is no doubt that the legis- lation will be passed. In fact, the age [Ihnit would haye been reduced to nine- teen or twenty when the army bill passed the senate if it had not met with opposition from the war depart: ment. Provost Marshal General Crow- _ der then as now favored the reduction to eighteen years, but did not receive | the snpport of his superiors. Diseus- sion In the senate showed that a great [imany men favored lowering {he age limit, while others preferred that old- er men be taken and that the young men remain exempt. | It hua already been shown that about 1,600,000 of the 2,000,000 soldiers tn below the age of twenty-one, Such an old Civil war soldier as Senator Nel- son of Minnesota is very insistent that the boys from eighteen to twenty-one be given un opportunity to get into the war, He and others who believe with him will strenuously oppose @ Provision which will be offered to the new draft luw providing thut the boys from eighteen to nineteen must not be sent abrond until-after they have bad ® yeur's training. Instead of taking f year to make a soldier, It bas been demonstrated that the alert young men of America make good soldiers in six months. Army officers with experience believe that 1ar better results will be obtained with the men below twenty- ‘one than with those over thirty-offt. y Western Beef Co. ee, eis Sd eee Open Daily to 8:30 Sundays Until 2:00 a pias Sa ol ga Si ey ONE OF Ta& MOST UP-TO-DATE AND SANITARY MARKETS IN THE CITY.

Nothing Is quite so persistent as the German propaganda. If the Germans had given us much attention to legitl- mate Industrial find agricultural pur suits as they have to war und propa- ganda they could have made greuter progress in the conquest of the world than they have by war and the auxil- jury methods they have used to pro- mote that war, In this country all manner and kinds of propaganda sre constantly cropping out. There is no business, industry or vocation In which the Huns have not made some attempt to cripple the government by their in- sidious propaganda. For instance, there has recently been circulated & story that there is a scarcity-of gluss Jars for canning foods, whfeh when traced to its origin proved to be Ger- man propaganda for the purpose of hindering the preservation of foods. It must be that the Germans, their sympathizers, the pucifists, and every other faction of that ilk, have raised and malntained an enormous fund to carry on all sorts of propaganda which could in any way tend to hinder the United States in the prosecution of the whee Bolden Bros.

While there are not many officials of ‘the present day who have any personal ‘recollection of what took place during ‘the Civil war, they are bistorians enough to know that on several ocea- sions it seemed that the Union was go- ‘ing to triumph at once, although It ‘turned out afterwards that the Con- {ederntes tought on for a long time. “When Germany cracks, she will go ‘to pleces very suddenly,” Is the ex- ‘pression I heard from a careful ob- server of the progress of the war. But It is very doubtful whether Germany will go all to pieces and whether there seit hot be many hard-fought battles before the allled armies are across the Rhine.

Will congress be considered an es- sential Industry? ‘That question will be very Interesting to 18 senators and 110 representatives who are not yet forty-five years of age. When the first draft bill was under consideration a number of members of congress, led by Speaker Champ Clark, tried to have the age limit extended to sixty years, and all the way down to the figure fin- ally agreed upon. At that time quite a number of men voelferously an- nounced that they were willing to take thelr chances in the draft. It will be Interesting to notice whether the boards will decide that senators and representatives are engaged In an es- sential industry.

A What Expert Designers Are Making 1 Now is the day of all sorts of service suits—overettes, war overalls, coat and breeches, mountain suits and others that mark the departures of women into new fields of work and into new kinds of convenient clothes for outdoor and even for indoor wear. Meantime the reliable and time-honored gingham house dress is a service suit that shows no sign of losing its popularity. Gingham and gingham patterns in other materials lead in point of popularity—percale and some heavier cotton; chambrays and cotton crepes—even printed lawns and volles have a place in this considerable company of house dresses and designs are varied to suit the ages of wearers and the sort of service the dress is to give. In the picture a gingham dress designed for a matronly wearer is equal to all the emergencies of an average day at home. It is a one-piece dress easily rat on, has jacket fronts on the bodice 10th vest and collar in white figure. There are pockets at the side that prove to be both practical and decorative. They are faced with plaque and What Expert Design The advantage of leaving the designing of children's clothes to specialists in that line of work is apparent. They are less apt to make mistakes than other people are, and only the efforts in which they are successful get beyond the designing room and into the workrooms of manufacturers of children's frocks and other garments. Early in July the advance guards of the new styles for fall make their appearance in the large shops and department stores, and mothers with foresight investigate them, either to buy for the coming season or to become familiar with whatever new style features are introduced. Those who have their children's clothes made at home can gather from these early displays ideas worth copying. The question of economy is one that the individual must settle for herself. The simplest cotton dresses can probably be bought ready made as cheaply as they can be made at home, but the better grades in cotton or wool turned back in two tabs fastened down with buttons. Old-fashioned rickrack braid has come back into favor as a trimming for house dresses and is also used on afternoon frocks of organdie. Combinations of plain and plaid ginghams are and always will be good in dresses of the kind shown above. For kitchen work designers make shorter sleeves and plain waists joined to skirts with wide belts. The frock illustrated will do for marketing. Because gingham is used for aprons and house dresses is no reason to infer that it is not made up into frocks for other wear. Hand-some gingham frocks, made up with organdie collars and cuffs or with fine Swiss embroideries are taking the place of silks in many a war-time wardrobe. They do not suffer by comparison, for they are smart, with a flavor of their own. Double Knot With Loops. Fasten your belt in the back with a double knot with loops. gners Are Making or silk are considerably higher in price than for several seasons past and the chances are that there is a considerable saving in making them at home. The pretty model pictured above, for a girl of eight to twelve or thirteen years, is suited to any of the materials used for the dressler frocks for little girls. It has single box plats across the front and back of the skirt with pockets at each side on the unplaited portions. The bodice simulates a little jacket with tabs at the front that extend over the flat plain belt. This belt is in a contrasting color and might be made of silk for a wool dress. A little embroidery in the simplest designs embellishes the collar, cuffs, pockets and tabs, done in floss the color of the belt. Flat silk buttons fastening with cord loops, form another decorative feature. Julia Bottomley T Parlors, 2745 Welton Street. DENVER, COLORADO. The V. V. Hair Millinery V. V.
