LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc State House DR. R. R. Moton, Chairman of the Executive Committee Gives Great Address at National Negro Business League at Atlantic, City, Aug. 22 (Continued from Last Week.) ANOTHER suggestion which has been made by the National League is the plan to conduct local advertising campaigns of Negro business houses, the purposes of these campaigns not being antagonistic to merchants of other races, but rather to advertise the existence of Negro merchants We have known instances where a customer has gone to a Negro merchant and asked for a certain product. If this merchant did not happen to have the particular product on his shelves, he would simply say so, instead of suggesting as a matter of courtesy that this customer try another one of the colored stores which might happen to be in the town. The point I am seeking to make is that there should always be constant cooperation between merchants of other races. It has been because of this co-operation that the white business men of the country have been able to build up such strong and substantial business houses. In all of these efforts, the National League will give its best aid and help, and the machinery of the National organizations would be placed solidly behind the Local and State league by giving and exchanging suggestions as is now being done and by giving continual publicity to the work. Finally, I think the time is ripe and fitting for the League to take a definite stand in the way of holding out encouragement to the men and women of the race, who, although ambitious, energetic and honest, have not sufficient capital to go into business. I would like to see us take a lesson from the Irish and the Jews. Sir Horace Plunckett through the Irish Organization Society, did much to revolutionize Ireland economically. I wish every one of the men here would read this book. The Irish Organization Society did not succeed because these people were Irish, but because they were able to get the people of Ireland to co-operate. I was much interested some time ago in reading something in the Philadelphia Tribune about the Hebrew Free Loan Society. I have also had the privilege of conversing with some of the officials of this Loan Society, and know something of the far reaching effects that it has had in encouraging men and women of the Jewish race to open up and conduct successful business enterprises. We need to do everything possible to safeguard the business of our people. In many instances the successful business enterprise conducted by the parent, passes at his death into the hands of an untrained son, and very soon the structure which was erected by the father, through years of painstaking sacrifice and toil is lost through unpreparedness and in efficiency. We must also see to it that these young women and men of our race have every opportunity to develop along all lines, so that they can carry on the business enterprises which have been established by the older colored people. We should seek to see that every business enterprise of our race is patronized and nursed after its foun- VOL.

It is interesting to note that the Hebrew Free Loan Society has during its years of establishment, loaned practically nine millions of dollars to the members of the Jewish race, and as Mr. Jacob H. Schiff said, "It is performing a real patriotic service; and is really a charitable organization of a constructive nature." The transactions are handled in a purely business way, and bring hope and encouragement to the people who are benefited. The Business League could create a fund, by members of the League purchasing blocks of stock, say at $100 per share, each share being paid for in five year installments of twenty ($20) each. If one thousand persons took out a share of stock in one year, we would have $20,000 to begin with, and in five years, the sum would be $100,000. If 500 persons took one share, we would have $10,000 to begin with and in five years a fund of $50,000. We might even make the shares $200 each, and with 500 persons buying shares, we would still have $100,000 at the end of five years, paid in and available for this service. The fund could be placed in charge of a special committee of say five men, one of whom would be a reputable lawyer, to represent the national organization, and the loans could be administered in such a way as to make the investment just as safe as Liberty Bonds; in fact, the money could be invested in Liberty Bonds. I imagine also that a number of our largest organizations, like the Standard Life Insurance Co., the North Carolina Mutual organization, the Mosiac Templars, and others of similar character, could take large blocks, and in that way, their organizations would be brought in close contact with this movement, which has such large possibilities. While I have not worked out any details in my mind, it appears to me that the interests of the movement could best be protected by having the Local League endorse each individual who wishes to secure funds for a business. They would thoroughly investigate the plan of the proposed business; its location, and everything pertaining to its ultimate success and by standing sponsor for each person making application, the local League members would be mutually interested in its success, and would support it in every way they could. Such a co-operative, financial enterprise would, in my opinion, carry with it active membership in the League of each person benefited, and the interest which would accrue from the loans could be used to establish a permanent fund for the expansion of the National League, care being taken so that the operating expenses of the loan fund did not exceed a reasonable cost of administration. Then the national organization could keep an organizer in the field, and backed by the influence and prestige of the League, I believe his efforts would result in increased membership and interest in the League work, such as would insure permanence for the organization and --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1918 a widening field of service for the Negro race. The many pitfalls of co-operative financial enterprises necessarily demand cautious procedure in attempting any such plan as I have outlined, but we cannot lose sight of the bigger benefits and principles involved. The League has made rapid strides forward in the past, but the world war, and the great economic struggle which is to follow, necessitates a still greater step forward to meet the new conditions. The material is right here within the League if we can but harness it to the greatest good. We can in this way make a substantial contribution to the Nation's progress, and whatever lasting prosperity may come to America in her readjustment after the war, the Negro may share, because of the help and contact of the best white people of the country. There can be no turning back in this grave hour. We must keep our faces towards the Sun, and keep step in the great upward march of the races of the world. Our men have died on the battlefields of France, that the world be made safe for Democracy, and I do not believe that it is the desire of the best thinking Americans to see us push aside when the great ends have been achieved, but unless we measure up morally, economically, and otherwise, we cannot realize our best results. In so many of our failures in the past, we have fallen back on the hackneyed excuse of the color line and of race prejudice, but these have not hindered the advance and progress of the Jew. We have got to stop attributing our failures to white people, and to make up our minds that we are going to take advantage of every opportunity which is given us. For centuries the Indian lived in America and walked over its marvelous Agricultural reseuorces and the white man came along and pushed him away and took the land and built cities, erected farms and established civilization. For centuries Negroes in Africa walked over diamonds, until the white man came and pointed out their value. It was not prejudice, my friends, that kept the Negro in Africa from discovering the diamonds; it was lack of knowledge and often when we have blamed our failures on prejudice, there has been a lack of foresight and of efficiency on our part. If we would have our greatest success, we must present a solid face front in persistence, in unselfish service, and all the attributes that go to make good citizenship. Such an effective organization as we have outlined for the Business League, can influence in other lines. When we are doing such splendid work in our communities; the voice of the Business League will be heard with greater confidence by the nation. Even legislatures, both state and national, will be more inclined to take notice of any request that we might make, when they see that we are striving to do so much for the uplift of our race and for humanity.

CHARLES W. WATERMAN, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR U. S. SENATOR THE LORD ALFRED WILLIAMS LOYALTY is a badge of honor, a badge that, today, is worn by every citizen, for mankind and patriotic citizen. There is also such a thing as loyalty to party. For over twenty-five years Colorado has had one man who has remained loyal to his party. His name is Charles W. Waterman. During all these years he has backed the party with his ability, his energy, his time and his means. He has never been found lacking. He never sulked because conventions did not go to please him. He was never found working with the bi-partisan machine, no more has he ever been found voting for Democratic candidates. He comes today asking the support of the loyal Republicans of Colorado for the Republican nomination to the United States Senate. He has earned that support by his past actions. He is entitled to that support by all the rules of a fair, just, honest game. He has proven his loyalty to party—it now remains for the party to prove its loyalty to him. To fail or refuse to give him the honor sought would be nothing more nor less than political slacking. He has always been a friend of the colored voters. He is not the man who makes class or race distinction. He is able, honest, just, upright, morally clean and mentally equipped for the high office sought. He is recognized today as one of the ablest business men in the West. He is not making promises as to what he will do for Colorado—he points to what he has done, for it was through his business efforts that Colorado today is the greatest beet sugar producing state in the Union, operating factories that pay out annually to the farmers for beets alone better than $30,000,000. Charles W. Waterman is entitled to your support. He should have it. Do not fail to go to the primary election Tuesday, September 10th, and cast your vote for Charles W. Waterman. (Too late for last week publication.) East Eaton is on a boom. The Great Western Sugar Co. is building one of the largest hotels in Eaton, also a new depot and six new houses, all to be completed before the beet and potato harvest come on. The colored people of Eaton are doing well, and every family is raising their own meat, such as hogs, chickens and rabbits. Rev. Muse and Mr. Archie Carter were here Sunday; Pastor Muse preached two very inspiring sermons both morning and afternoon. The Sunday school is doing fine under the direction of Superintendent William Dabney. Mrs. Muse was not with us Sunday on account of attending the Baptist Association in Utah; we missed her very much in our midst. Deacon and Mrs. William Dabney were entertained for dinner Sunday by Mrs. Walter Dabney. Rev. Muse and Mr. Carter were entertained for dinner Sunday by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Harper. We are expecting the arrival of Mrs. Annie Reed any day now. She has been visiting her mother in Alabama for the past six weeks. NO.46. (SPECIAL TO THE COLORADO STATESMAN) To the People of the State of Colorado: ALTHOUGH I have the highest personal regard for each of the several Republican candidates for Governor and United States Senator. I feel it my duty to give the public record of two of them upon vital state and national issues. In the fall of 1914 the liquor forces seemed to have a strangle hold upon the State. These forces had an avowed champion in my powerful adversary. He brought to their aid all the strength of a great political organization. We, who were meeting him on this issue, greatly needed help. Mr. Ballreich closed up his office and for three weeks toured the State with us. He made from three to eight speeches a day and there was not a harder hitter anywhere in Colorado than Charlie Ballreich. The marvelous moral and economic returns that have come to this State through that dry victory were no gifts. We had to fight for them. Good citizen, have you forgotten that hard fight made in your interests? If not, please remember that Charles A. Ballreich was a powerful contributor to the dry victory. Many will recall the Denver Republican Assembly of 1914. The "wet" interests were in complete control of the Democratic organization. The only important issue between the rival candidates for Governor before the Republican Assembly was whether the dry cause should secure negative or affirmative support. The majority of the Denver Assembly demanded that the Assembly's representatives solidly support one candidate for Governor, but Mr. Waterman said "No," and insisted that the minority candidates receive their proportionate representation in the State convention. No more powerful plea was ever made in any political Assembly in Colorado than this one made by Mr. Waterman before the Denver Assembly. This speech was one of the biggest factors of the year in finally putting the Republican Party affirmatively and forcibly back of the dry issue. Mr. Waterman was a pre-war preparedness man. Even many people of Colorado do not know that if we had not been blocked by influential pacifists Colorado would have led the nation in a pre-war preparedness plan. Shortly after the sinking of the Lusatania we began to prepare for the inevitable. The State strongly backed the signal corps at the School of Mines, established a battery unit at the Agricultural College, built buildings for engineer and cavalry units at the university. We arranged to establish an artillery unit at the stockyards, National Guard units in Denver, Pueblo, Arkansas Valley towns and cities, and many other places in Colorado. But powerful pacifists in high places tore public support from us and finally broke down federal cooperation. In that timely and patriotic effort, though there were many who were bitter in their opposition, only a few had the foresight to come to our active aid. Mr. Waterman was one of those few. He was an active, enthusiastic and far-seeing supporter of the pre-war preparedness plan. We have plenty with splendid hindsight, but for the big work ahead, should we not henceforth pick men of foresight? Mr. Waterman in the Senate will put Colorado back on the map at Washington and make our State felt as a real factor in the world struggle, for he has the orator's power, the patriot's fervor and the statesman's foresight and vision. Mr. Waterman has always stood for prohibition, and has always consistently been favorable to everything that was decent, right, and to the best interests of our State and its people. It is to the highest interests of our people that such men as Ballreich and Waterman should be placed in public office. (Signed) GEORGE A. CARLSON.

DENVER, COLO, DR. C.E. TERRY GREELEY W. WHITFORD Republican Candidate FOR DISTRICT JUDGE PRIMARY ELECTION, SEPT. 10. W. H. The colored voters of this city are positive in their support of Hon. Greeley W. Whitford for the office of district judge. The older voters will never forget his vigorous prosecution of the Boykin case, when Judge Whitford prosecuted Boykin for the murder of Milton Smith, a colored citizen, and secured a conviction. In all matters handled by him as district attorney involving the civil rights of citizens he knew no party, no creed, no color line. His ability, integrity and fearlessness in all matters private and official, have marked him as a man of outstanding character. More men like him in public places are needed. He will honor the place for which he is a candidate, and we will honor ourselves by giving him enthusiastic and loyal support at the primaries and at the election in November. Do not forget to put an X after his name on the primary ballot. THE DEARFIELD SETTLEMENT You should begin now to make your arranger trip by auto, as there cannot be any railroad rate of the war.

NEW WHEAT RULES RELEASE AMERICA FROM OLD.REGIME NEW WHEAT RULES RELEASE AMERICA FROM OLD.REGIME As a result of one of the most momentous food conferences ever held in the history of the world, Herbert Hoover, federal food administrator for the United States, upon his return from England, has ordered all past wheat regulations rescinded and has instituted an entirely new wheat program which will be followed by America and the Allies alike, and which became effective September 1. The most outstanding feature of the new regime is the introduction of "Victory" flour. This flour is composed of 80 per cent wheat flour and 20 per cent substitutes, and is mixed at the mills. Consumers will not be required to purchase this "Victory" flour, but will be allowed to buy pure wheat flour and 20 per cent prescribed substitutes. The Food Arministration, however, urges that wherever possible "Victory" flour be utilized. According to the regulations, the new flour must not be sold by miller, wholesaler or retail dealer at any greater price than standard flour. The retail dealer who sells standard wheat flour is required to carry in stock either barley, corn or corn meal flour, to sell as substitutes in the ratio of one pound substitute to four pounds of wheat flour. Pure rye flour or meal may be sold as a substitute, but it must be sold in proportion of at least two pounds of rye to three pounds of wheat. Millers, retailers, wholesalers and bakers are now allowed to carry a sixty-day supply of flour, instead of the thirty-day supply as before, and the twenty-four-pound limitation on the purchase of flour has been rescinded for both the city and the country consumer. In spite of the fact that the order which allowed each consumer but six pounds per person per month has been revoked, Hoover, in a telegram to Thomas B. Stearns, federal food administrator for Colorado, requested all housewives to continue to conserve flour in a reasonable manner and to use substitute grains as largely as possible. Restriction as to the amount of Victory bread bakers sell to the consumer have been withdrawn, altho the size of the loaf still remains twelve ounces. "There is still a necessity for continued vigilance in maintaining reasonable conservation of wheat by the reasonable substitutions of other cereals so that the standard of saving may be upheld," declared Mr. Stearns, "The recent careful survey by the food administrators of the United States, France, England and Italy of the food resources of 220,000,000 people fighting against Germany shows that to prevent disaster there must be a conservation of wheat during the coming years," reads Herbert Hoover's most recent statement. "It has been agreed that the wheat bread of the allies shall contain 20 per cent other grains than wheat, and it is only just that the United States bear their share of the saving, and that our bread should be at least universal with those who are suffering more greatly in the war than we are Distribution and transportation circumstances in this country make it necessary to rely very largely on voluntary action in our homes to enforce this mixture. 'Victory' bread so made is wholesome and there is no difficulty of preparation. In the new plan, however, there is no intention to displace the large use of corn bread. It is desired to insure supply of ready mixed flours on market and to have millers and dealers of all kinds encourage use and sale of Victory flour so that they may be on a mixed flour basis without the necessity of retailers making combination sales of flour and substitutes." GROCERY STORES TO CLOSE SUNDAY GROCERY STORES TO CLOSE SUNDAY Food conservation has clutched another tradition of long standing and made it give in to modern win-the-war methods. Beginning with September 1, all grocery stores, meat markets, delicatessen stores, bakeries and other retail stores handling groceries, meats, bakery goods, delicatessen, dairy or farm products will close on Sundays, and after 9 o'clock on Saturdays and 6 o'clock other days of the week and holidays. This ruling does not include shops in which ice creams, candy and fresh milk are sold. The Sunday closing plan of the United States food administration has been endorsed almost unanimously by all the retail dealers in Colorado. That this measure will not only conserve food, but man power, equipment, fuel, gasoline and oil is the feeling of high state food officials. SUGAR BOWLS BANISHED FROM ALL DINING CARS Dining car sugar bowls have followed in the wake of the bowls of hotels and restaurants. B. S. Harvey, chairman of the Administrative Committee of Dining Car Superintendents, has announced that all dining car services in the United States have been asked to remove the sugar bowls from the tables, and substitute individual service. Since early in April most the dining cars has served no wheat in any form. Leave no tender word unsaid, Do good while life shall last; You know the mill can never gtind With the water that is past.

POLICE COURTIFIC SARTY JOS. D. D. RIVERS.....Proprietor Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the City of Denver, Colo. SUBSCRIPTION RATES THIS IS NO TIME FOR EXPERIMENTS. WETHER they be U. S. Senators, Congressmen, Governor, Legislators of our state, District Judges, Auditor, Treasurer, Secretary of State, School Superintendent, University Regents or others, the electors of Colorado are not going to experiment with the political situation this time. Their experience, in many instances said, will guide them into allying with men and things absolutely bent on constructive measures not a mere acceptance of the promises and beautiful sentiments that blindfolded our mental vision, but a practical insight into the qualities possessed by the men who come to us soliciting our suffrage to help them in the achievement of political honors, culminating in LEADERSHIP not only for a city or state, but for the vast millions whose claims for just and righteous actions towards them, form the prime movement in the life of the American, be he the humblest peasant or the greatest financier. We need men with brain, men who have by their energy and persistence, backed up by indomitable pluck and courage, forged to the front with all the surrounding oppositions, with environments the most unfavorable. Yes, men of wealth, as some argue that that quality hinders or opposes compromise, as there is no buying and selling with the men of wealth as they can withstand the temptations, being the possessors of a large amount of this world's goods. But with all these qualities when we come into placing into their hands the power to make laws, national and international, electors should make every effort to fully inform themselves upon the further qualifications making for STATESMANSHIP. Do sick folks send for a carpenter, joiner or tinner—a lawyer, to restore them to health? Do medical doctors offer a solution of weighty national problems that terminate in the overthrow of government, etc.? Are they even used as a last resort to minimize trouble between governments and peoples? Surely, there is no dense cloud hovering around us as to suddenly impair our senses of seeing and feeling, and it is reasonable to conclude that the people of Colorado at this time are not going to be the victims of experiment any longr, but the benefactors of the good in store for them that will be brought forth into the light of day by men whose every year of existence in our state is as a beacon light beckoning to us to go forward and upward. Fellow electors, you are quite aware the day of the POLITICAL EXPERIMENTALIST is over. Let us select men qualified for leadership. THE PROOF OF PARTY LOYALTY. PARTY LOYALTY is going to have a severe test next Tuesday when another proof will be given as to what constitutes it and for what purpose it stands. "It will be the most important Primary Election ever held in Denver," is the impression on every hand, and many persons who never placed much of value on the FRANCHISE are now talking and acting. Obsolete and obscure politicians are on the scene again as they realize how the destiny of their state and country, the very life of the nation, will probably be entrusted into new and inexperienced hands for a time. While we have no objection to any one being trained for a position, yet we think the time is inopportune, and the postponement of taking the present crucial moment in our country's history to train men for representative positions in city, state or nation should be urged by the majority of electors, who are determined not to jeopardize their interests, and who will demonstrate the same next Tuesday, Sept. 10, at the State Primary Election. Democrats divided up to election eve, will reunite their forces between midnight and the opening of the polls. Republicans should profit by the actions of former years proving they have learned their lessons and have committed them thoroughly to memory, which means combining their forces to nominate candidates qualified in the public eye by WHAT THEY HAVE DONE AND ARE DOING. The HALF-AND-HALF—the element without political standing, glorying in the delusion of Non-partisans or Ballot-spoilers are not seriously considered, as they generally come in to nobody's advantage and are contented with what falls to them mercifully. Now is the time for Party Loyalty to assert itself, and every Republican who is not quite sure of his party, but is playing the chance game of a "half-good Democrat" for his vote and a "good Republican" also for his vote, is not contributing the part that loyal Republicans delight in and therefore cannot serve the common cause that results in success. Weigh well the candidates then. If the men have established a record satisfactory to the people in their past record as private citizens or public officials, and if we get from them that their purpose is a representation of all classes of the population for the advancement of the nation, then there can be no truer, better, loyalty than to give them our undivided support. THE RESUMPTION OF SCHOOL WORK SCHOLASTIC work was resumed in the majority of the schools and colleges this week, after a respite of over two months. This well-merited temporary cessation from the arduous labors of teachers and pupils always seems to lend inspiration and activity to pursue the work of the present session, and with the usual pleasant greetings, cheerful smiles and general agreeableness which accompany the return to school, there is a reciprocity engaged in by teachers and scholars that no one can really understand who has not had the grand privilege and great opportunity of attending school. First, the thankfulness to the Creator for their existence, having been spared to meet again after such an interval; and the gladness exhibited and expressed in the hearty handshakes, etc., appear to create a jealousy in the old school buildings as they reflect the sounds of the voices of the children in a greater and sweeter form, indicating a welcome of their return, as the sounding-boards remaining in an apparent inanimate condition during vacation become animated from the footsteps passing o'er them day by day, as the exercises which cause them to respond cheerfully with their echoing tones to the beautiful singing in the classrooms are enferred upon. The pleasure attendant with the return to school is almost indescribable, as it has a particular feeling common only to tutor and student, and this brings us face to face with an obligation on the part of parents to foster their children in the idea of THE LOVE FOR SCHOOL. The years in the public, then the high, stretching into the college and university, appear wearisome at a glance, and some there are who harp and worry over this duration, but with the flight of time and the long waiting is minimized and the goal of success is attained in a comparatively short time. There are many of our boys and girls who started out with brilliant possibilities before them, but in some cases lack of parental support imbued them with perseverance in their work, has caused them to grow weary and the misfortune of stopping short overtakes them. In our offering some help to the children we are glad to say that we have always taken a keen interest in the education of the young, and take more than ordinary pride in the same as we have a responsibility of our own; and our advice to them is persevere and persist in the manly undertaking of getting educated, as education is one of the great agencies that will help to break down the walls of prejudice, lessen the increase of crime, stem the tide of evil and make surmountable the obstructions that seem hard to overcome. Study and work, work and study, and when you shall have finished your course successfully you will not only win the plaudits of your parents, friends and acquaintances, but the world will recognize in you a valuable factor contributing to its progress and benefiting humanity. Toll on, therefore, and in your toil rejoice, and do not forget that:— "A little learning is a dangerous thing: A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep or taste not the Pyerian spring, For shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, But drinking deeper sobers us again." Many Forms of Vacation Service Open for Teacher Both in City and Country Many Forms of Vacation Service Open for Teacher Both in City and Country By PHILANDER P. CLAXTON, United States Commissioner of Education I have every admiration for the woman who offers herself for Red Cross nursing, for canteen service in France, for ambulance driving behind the lines, or for the countless other war tasks that women are doing so cheerfully and so well. But this is only a part of our war work, after all. The woman teacher in America today need have no concern as to where her patriotic duty lies.

But this is only a part of our war work, after all. The woman teacher in America today need have no concern as to where her patriotic duty lies. Not only is her task of teaching boys and girls one of supreme national and even military importance, as France has shown, but her position as teacher gives her an opportunity for leadership, particularly in the smaller communities, that is unsurpassed for direct national service. It is from the point of view of possibilities in the home community, then, that I urge teachers to face the summer vacation. For many patriotic teachers it need not be so much a change of scene as a change of activity. The suburban teacher who has been doing her work under the formal conditions that still prevail in too many schools can work her own garden or help work someone else's. Better still, she can help her boys and girls in their home gardens, as a hundred thousand or more patriotic teachers are doing in the United States school garden army organized under the department of the interior. It will help the food situation and the teacher who does this work will be a better teacher for her contact with the soil. For the teacher who wants to do Red Cross work there is the field of junior membership that has been opened up. Here, too, the teacher can not only help her children produce things for the soldiers but she will be getting something that will make her fundamental work of teaching better and she will be giving an example of the school's influence in the community that will be valuable in the many more emergencies of the coming months and years. Many teachers will wish to go away for a rest and change, for a part of the summer at least. It is hard to think of a better rest and change for such teachers, if they must leave the community, than to go to some good summer school and learn how to do better the thing they are doing. Women Are Now Enjoying the Greatest Opportunity in History of Business Women Are Now Enjoying the Greatest Opportunity in History of Business By JAMES O. CRAIG, President of Business Men's Clearing House, Chicago The rapid adaptation of women to business, made necessary by the government's "work-or-fight" order, is the source of real encouragement to Chicago employers. After a period of gloom directly following the issuance of the order employers have come to the realization that men are no longer indispensable. Nor is the woman for stenographic, clerical and so-called "minor" office duties alone. The woman executive has come into her own. Our women's department within the last few weeks has placed a large number of high-grade women in executive and semi-executive positions, and the women placed are responding to the satisfaction of the employers. Moreover, women are succeeding in traveling sales work to a far greater extent than ever expected. This branch of the distribution force was hit unusually hard by the draft and enlistment of traveling salesmen, and for a time, until the experimenting with women began to produce worth-while results, the outlook was serious for a number of firms who get their goods before buyers through personal solicitation. The success of traveling saleswomen is perhaps the most encouraging result of the present readjustment. The inexperienced woman is enjoying the greatest opportunity in the history of business. More unskilled beginners have entered the Chicago business field in the past month or so than in any years of our business history. Employers report entire satisfaction with the use of this class of office help. The novelty of the new situation is gradually wearing away. Travelers no longer express surprise when, upon registering at a hotel, they are confronted by a woman desk clerk, nor are women elevator operators an unusual sight; several Chicago hotels have in successful operation these innovations. The demand for high-grade men is as heavy as ever, bookkeepers and other forms of higher office force being in especial demand. Manufacturing concerns are badly in need of various classes of technical men and unskilled help. At present business is in the midst of its readjustment and the situation will remain unsettled until some time after the "work-or-fight" order is in effect. People of Germany Prove Themselves in Wrong by Treacherous Actions By PAUL WEST, Member of American Defense Society Who cheered and held school festivals and struck medals when our women and children sank with the Lusitania? The German people, the women and children of Germany. Who have spit on our prisoners when they have been carried wounded through German towns? The women and children. Who have sent the soldiers of Germany into battle full of hatred for us? The womanhood of Germany. Who have tampered with airplanes made in this country so that scores of young American boys have been killed by the machines breaking? Kind-faced German mechanics in the American factories. We must not take it out in angry grimaces, in tearing up all the German music on our pianos or in refusing to deal with German grocers. We must send the hate along over the sea as we send our soldiers. We must fill them with it, must send them into battle backed by the feeling that we are behind every bayonet thrust of theirs and that we want them to do to the Germans what the Germans have done to our allies and to our defenseless ones wherever they could find them. We know we're right. We know Germany is wrong. We know Germany is a liar, a foul fighter, a nation whose population and people hate us implacably and are fighting the better because of that hate. All right; let us hate back. OLIVER H. SHOUP, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR J. OLIVER H. SHOUP of Colorado Springs, candidate for the Republican nomination for governor at next Tuesday's primaries, returned to Denver the first of the week for a few days' stay preliminary to a brief final tour of the state, concluding his energetic, business-like primary campaign. Wherever he has gone thruout Colorado Mr. Shoup has met with a most hearty reception from Republicans in all walks of life, who see in his candidacy for governor an opportunity at last for Colorado taxpayers to secure a business man for chief executive and an efficient, economical administration of state affairs. Organized labor, industrial leaders, merchants, professional men—all are earnestly supporting Mr. Shoup's candidacy and are enthusiastically predicting his nomination next Tuesday as the Republican standard bearer in November. Union men of every craft in Mr. Shoup's home town—Colorado Springs have strongly indorsed his candidacy and at the Labor Day celebration there he was the only political candidate on the official program. Elsewhere thruout the state the representative citizens in every community have accorded Mr. Shoup a sincere welcome and pledged themselves to do their utmost to elect men of his type to state office. Registration figures indicate a heavy vote at the primaries. Republicans who have any doubt about their names being on the registration books of their precinct should go at once to the court house and attend to this important matter. Registration today, Sept. 7, is absolutely necessary if one desires to vote at the primaries Tuesday, Sept. 10. This year—more than ever before—it is the patriotic duty of every Republican to take part in the primaries. Now—more than ever—it is essential that the biggest men in every city, county and state should be placed in charge of public affairs. And many voters, who for various reasons did not participate in recent local elections, have had their names stricken from the registration books and need to register again. Mr. Shoup's platform is one that meets with the unqualified approval of every thinking citizen and taxpayer. First of all, he stands for winning the war on the battlefield and opposing an inconclusive peace. He will foster every activity for winning the war. He pledges himself to help secure for Colorado government expenditures within the state to enable our citizens to meet adequately the ever necessary drafts upon our resources for the support of the war. While he desires to encourage, as is necessary, all legitimate business profits, Mr. Shoup is opposed to reasonable profiteering and will exert every effort to prevent and punish such profiteering. Mr. Shoup favors both national prohibition and national woman's suffrage. He will rigidly enforce the prohibition laws of the state, and will work for the passage of the federal amendment guaranteeing nation-wide suffrage for women. He pledges himself to give Colorado a more economical management of state finances and will work not only to reduce the burdens of the taxpayers but will apply intelligent and businesslike remedies to reduce the ever-increasing costs of living. He recognizes the wonderful contribution being made toward winning the war by labor and the farmers of the state and believes in their protection as producers as well as the production of all citizens as consumers. Mr. Shoup believes in immediate preparation to protect our industrial, commercial, agricultural and mining activities after the war to insure their proper development and favors a broad constructive policy to open the resources of our state to the returning soldiers after the war. He is also a strong advocate of good roads but is opposed to pork barrel methods in road improvement. On the contrary he will demands a dollar value in road construction for every dollar expended. Mr. Shoup is a loyal Coloradoan, having resided in this state since 1882. He was born in Illinois of sturdy pioneer American stock, but came to this state in early boyhood. His business success—all the result of his own initiative, creative genius and tireless industry—has been built upon the development of the natural resources of Colorado and the West. What he has today he has earned thru hard work as a producer(of material things from the soil. Republicans will render a distinct service to themselves, their state and nation by voting for Mr. Shoup at the coming primaries, September 10, 1918. JOHN R. SMITH Republican Candidate FOR SENATOR PRIMARY ELECTION SEPTEMBER 10 John R. Smith, who is one of the candidates for nomination for Senator, on the Republican ticket, is one of the best known lawyers of the State, with a wide experience in the important interests of the State, and the laws affecting them, and especially in mining and irrigation law. He has been giving special attention the past two years to the settlement of the cloud upon the prosperity of the lands near Denver affected by irrigation district projects, and seeks an election to the Legislature largely in and of that work. He has always been a Republican, and in former years active in the service of the party and in aid of the advancement of others, and was once elected to the State Senate, as it afterwards developed, by a majority of several thousand, and counted out by the Big Mitt, the only time their fraud was successful. Mr. Smith was born in Scotland, and is therefore pro-ally to the limit.

Mr. Bright is an employé of the Rock Island for thirty-nine years and is very popular in railroad circles. Both are greatly impressed with the beauties of Colorado, having spent three successive summers in Colorado Springs, where they own property, and in the East. They are race lovers and are always ready and willing to enlist their practical sympathy with anything that stands for the uplift of the race and the advancement of their cause. The Colorado Statesman welcomes our new residents, feeling they will be very valuable assets to our community, and hoping they may never have cause to regret their stay among us.

PRESBYTERIAN CLERGYMAN DECLINES CALL. In the spring of 1918 Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell, pastor of the People's Presbyterian church, received a call to the pastorate of the Calvary Presbyterian church, Topeka, Kan. The minister made public the call to the congregation of the People's church and his desire to accept the same. At the very outset the members of the People's church were opposed to the minister accepting the call. Members of the Presbytery of Denver declared their intention to fight the attempt to dissolve the pastoral relationship between Rev. Thos-Hazell and the congregation of the People's church. After repeated efforts by the pastor to induce the congregation to unite with him in making the request of the Presbytery for the dissolution of their marriage relationship, the members of the church became more obstinate in their opposition. Consequently the pastor-elect of the Calvary Presbyterian church was compelled to turn down the call and remain incumbent of his present charge in Denver. Rev. Thos-Hazell announces to the public his continuance of religious business at the old familiar stand at E. 23rd avenue and Washington street. He hopes to see his old friends and all the members of the church work together for a greater work along the line of Presbyterianism in Denver. CAMPBELL CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES.

Starkweather, Republican Candidate for District Judge So familiar is the above name to Denverites and so well informed are they on the kind of citizen, attorney-at-law and State Senator in the person of Hon. James C. Starkweather, that the Colorado Statesman is proud to recount some of the things he has done during his public life. Respected by the bench for his strict adherence to the ethics of the legal profession, for his integrity and conscientious dealing with clients, and the masterly manner in which he presents his cases, he establishes an impression not only in legal circles but in the community, winning their admiration and insuring their confidence when he was elected State Senator in 1916. During this brief period he was a champion of the people's rights and received the commendation of the hard work-a-day laborer as well as others, when he was instrumental in defeating a bill designed to nullify the eight-hour law. He took an active interest in the child labor law for protection in the beet fields; secured advantages for public school teachers and carried the Bone Dry bill in the Senate which was afterwards killed in the House; introduced and obtained passage of an act to enforce a proper respect for our national anthem, 'The Star Spangled Banner,' requiring it to be played as a separate composition, and forbidding its use as a part of a medley. He was fearless in denouncing from the start the scheme of the profiteers which created the great increase in the prices of necessary commodities, and was material in assisting the government to remove such unfair actions in our city and state. These are a few of the things that Mr. Starkweather has accomplished, the same standing conspicuously as living monuments of his more than 35 years of residence in Denver, and association with every good cause beneficial to its people. In being designated by the Republican Assembly for District Judge his many friends and supporters feel no better purpose could be served as his loyalty to his party is unchallenged, and therefore are sparing no pains to nominate him at the Primary Election next Tuesday, Sept. 10, and elect him in the fall to the honorable position of District Judge which he merits. A vote for Starkweather means the placing of a fearless dispenser of the law on the bench whose decisions will be on the side of RIGHT. William W. Booth, Republican Candidate for State Senator [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie and a badge on his lapel]. THE above is the portrait of a public man has given such satisfaction to the people of Denver and Colorado that he is requested to come forward and represent us once more in the Senate of Colorado. For the benefit of recent arrivals who have qualified as electors in our state, and as a reminder, we inform our fellow electors that Mr. Booth was Mayor of Highlands for two terms. Senator of Colorado, and has considerable experience with the public works department of this city, having served as member of the board, accomplishing many improvements. As a business man he is at present connected with one of the leading insurance companies of the United States, and his experience of several years in this capacity helps to qualify him for the position of Senator, of which he is not a stranger. At this time especially when men experienced in the running of a state government are needed to combat with the new phases of business confronting us owing to the present struggle, the people of Colorado would be doing themselves justice to give their whole support to Mr. Booth, who can well be termed THE PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE as his motto is, "Serving the best interests of the people at all times and under all circumstances." With the help of The Colorado Statesman, the admiration of the public for his past achievement and the spirit in which his campaign is being conducted, Mr. Booth merits a place among the four Republican nominees on next Tuesday, Sept. 10, Primary Election, which will be the beginning or initial stage of his success in the final election. Voters among our people are therefore requested to follow Mr. Booth's career closely and after satisfying themselves as to his being a true and well-tried representative, cast a vote for him which will mean another help for us in this time of need. Henry T. Cooper OPERATORS Henry J. M. Brown By J. M. Brown Shoe Phone Champa 455 Rocky Mountain Shoe Repair Factory Goods Called For and Delivered 2640 WELTON STREET Patronize Race Business HARRY E. MULNIX Republican Candidate FOR STATE TREASURER PRIMARY ELECTION, SEPT. 10. M. B. ATYPICAL AMERICAN and loyal to the backbone, with a clean, wholesome, inspiring record, designated by the Republican Assembly for State Treasurer. Beginning a life of public usefulness in his early years, he has won a very enviable record. Elected state treasurer in 1894, he served to 1896. In 1914 he was again honored by the people, who elected him state auditor by a large majority, and being a man void of the prejudices that beset some officials, he made it possible for all races who claimed America as their home to be eligible for positions meritoriously, having employed the first Negro in the auditor's office—the late F. T. Bruce having been the successful employee—and again will meet out fair play if elected. Public opinion of Mr. Mulnix makes him the logical candidate for State Treasurer at the primary, and when it is remembered during his incumbency as State Treasurer he handled $40,000,000 of state moneys with that honesty characteristic of him, surely the electors of Colorado will not hesitate to return him by a very large majority. His experience in public life and particularly in this position will help our state, our nation, in this critical period of our history, and the people of our race, to whom he has always demonstrated true and real friendship, will only be doing the grateful turn, backed up by merit, if they prove themselves next Tuesday worthy backers of Mr. Mulnix. Men of his makeup are needed to pull us through this stormy period. Let us not hesitate to grasp this opportunity and secure for our good and the good of the nation A FOE-MAN WORTHY OF HIS STEEL. He has always been an active Republican, serving on the committees and also as the legal adviser for both the County and State Central Committees of the Republican Party for many years. He was leading counsel for Governor Peabody in his successful contest before the Legislature and was the means of bringing about fair and honest elections in Denver. He has served the State in years past as Deputy Attorney General with great success in important cases and in 1915-1916 was appointed and served as Judge Advocate (with rank of Major) and head of the Judge Advocate General's Department and one of the three members of the Military Board. His experience as a lawyer and his standing as a man fit him for the office of Judge of the District Court and guarantee an impartial administration of justice. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The Y. M. C. A. regretted the absence of any entertainment for the forty odd drafted men who went away to Camp Lewis last Sunday. The omission was due altogether to the fact that not until within twelve hours of entrainment was the secretary able to secure the number and names of those who were going. It was then too late for any plans of entertainment, and all that he could do was to call up the pastors and inform them of the fact, and request them to ask as many of their congregations as could do so to go down and see the boys off, permission having been secured from the board to allow the friends to go through to the train. As a result, a large number of friends went down and gave the boys a cheerful send-off. It was for the same reason also that the War Work Council could not arrange for an escort. The Rev. Harrabellio A. Marangeopa, a native of Madagascar, was the speaker at the meeting on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Marangeopa was educated in England, and has traveled over the entire globe, and speaks five languages and several dialects. The speaker held the audience spellbound for fully an hour telling of his experiences and of deliverances from death that led him to devote the remainder of his life to the service of mankind. Croquet plays have had many thrills this week, the juniors playing on the HENRY J. HERSEY Republican Candidate for District Judge At Primary Election Sept. 10, 1918. Henry J.

REGISTER ON SEPT. 12 ESTIMATE FOR ARIZONA, 49,794; COLORADO, 112,139; NEW MEXI- ICO, 44,652; WYOMING, 30,520. Washington.—All men from 18 to 45 years of age in the continental United States, except those in the army or navy or already registered, were summoned by President Wilson to register Thursday, Sept. 12, for military service. Machinery of the provost marshal general's office was set in motion to carry out the second great enrollment under a presidential proclamation issued soon after the President had signed the new manpower act extending the draft ages. It is estimated that at least 12,778,758 men will enroll, compared with almost 10,000,000 at the first registration June 5, 1917. Of those it is estimated that 2,300,000 will be called for general military service, probably two-thirds of the number coming from among the 3,500,000 or more between the ages of 18 and 21. Gen. March has said all registrants called into the army will be in France before June 30, swelling the American expeditionary force to more than the 4,000,000 men expected to win the war in 1919. The last to be called will be the youths in their eighteenth year, but those of that age who desire and who have the necessary qualifications may be inducted into service Oct. 1 for special training. Registration will be conducted by the local draft boards. All federal, state, county and municipal officers are called upon to aid the boards in their work, to preserve order and to round up slackers. All registrants will be classified as quickly as possible under the questionnaire system, and a drawing will be held at the capitol to fix the order of registrants in their respective classes. The provost marshal general's estimate places the number of men under 21 now in the army at about 245,000 and those from 32 to 45 at 165,000. Based on the ratio shown by the registration of men from 21 to 31, June 5, 1917, the shares of the new registrants expected in each state are estimated as follows: Arizona, 49,794; California, 398,552; Colorado, 112,139; Iowa, 287,847; Idaho, 55,461; Montana, 117,703; Nebraska, 157,665; Nevada, 16,116; New Mexico, 44,652; Oregon, 84,404; South Dakota, 77,179; Texas, 546,187; Utah, 58,863; Washington, 146,853; Wyoming, 30,520. Youths in their eighteenth year will be placed in a separate group, the War Department has announced, to be subject to a special educational program and will not be called until the supply of other available men in the new classes is exhausted. WHEAT PRICE FIXED AT $2.20. President Sees Chance for Peace by Middle of 1920. Washington.—By proclamation President Wilson set $2.20 a bushel as the minimum price guaranteed by the government for the 1919 wheat crop. A disinterested commission, the President states, will be appointed next spring to see whether the increased cost of farm labor and supplies would justify an increase above that price. Possibility of peace before the middle of 1920 was indicated in a memorandum written by the President and accompanying the proclamation, as a factor in determination* of the President to maintain the present price for the 1919 crop. The proclamation fxes as reasonable guaranteed prices for No. 1 northern spring wheat and its equivalents at the principal primary markets the following: New York, $2.39½; Philadelphia, $2.39; Baltimore and Newport News, $2.38¾; Duluth, $2.22½; Minneapolis, $2.21½; Chicago, $2.26; St. Louis, $2.24; Kansas City and Omaha, $2.18; New Orleans and Galveston, $2.28; Tacoma, Seattle, Portland, Astoria, San Francisco and Los Angeles, $2.20; Salt Lake City, Great Falls, Pocatello and Spokane, $2. Stefansson Plans Arctic Reclamation. Dawson, Y. T.—Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Arctic explorer, who is in Dawson, en route home after five years in the north, will recommend to the Canadian government plans for the reclamation of the Arctic islands and the Canadian wilderness on a vast scale, he announced here. LIBERTY LOAN SPEAKING TRIP. Whole Country to Be Included in President Wilson Tour. Washington—Under the tentative program for President Wilson's fourth Liberty Loan speaking tour, the President probably will leave Washington about Sept. 30, to be away throughout the three weeks of the campaign period. In a swing that may carry him to the Pacific coast, he expects to make stops in nearly every section of the country ONE MILLION STRONG, SHE IS READY TO BOOM THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. HER FORCES ALL MOBILIZED Remarkable Success in the Three Previous Loans Despite Unfamiliarity With National Finance—Organization Reaches Every City and Village. Under the banner of the fourth Liberty loan are enlisted one million women. Like soldiers at attention they await the coming drive, ready to talk bonds and sell bonds and buy bonds. Ever since the first bugle call sounded the women have been mobilizing their forces. Through the National Woman's Liberty Loan committee new vistas of activity were opened to the women of the country and marching through three loans along previously unexplored roads of national finance they have advanced to a significant place in the front lines of government endeavor. In May, 1917, the secretary of the treasury staked his belief in the patriotism and ability of the women of America. At that time he appointed the National Woman's Liberty Loan committee, the first and only executive committee of women in the history of the United States government. Two days after their appointments were made eleven women met and made their plans in the treasury at Washington. These plans were the inspiration for an organization that has spread all over the country, until today it reaches into every city, every town, every village and hamlet and crossroads. Fine Work on Former Loans. When the first loan was announced the committee decided that the work done by its members during that campaign should be directed toward general aid in the districts rather than to intensive organization work of women. Nevertheless, in the two weeks allotted to them, women from coast to coast rallied to the colors. In this short time the women in the New York district raised more than eight millions of dollars; the women of Pittsburgh raised one-third of that city's large subscription, excluding corporations; New England's hastily gathered group of women swelled the bulk of the returns; and the women of southern California outdid the rest of the country by establishing a ratio of seven women to every three men buying Liberty bonds. The original plan of the committee had to meet two conditions. The federal reserve districts were the unit of financial organization but the states were the unit of the women's organizations. These two had to be correlated. Hundreds of Thousands Are Helping. To accomplish this two sets of chairmen were appointed, twelve to the various federal reserve districts and 49 to the states and the District of Columbia. The federal reserve chairmen are regarded as ambassadors to the federal reserve banks rather than organization promoters. Under the direction of the state chairmen, the national organization has been evolved, so that in the second loan sixty thousand women were working as fiscal agents of the government, and in the third loan over five hundred thousand women were augmenting subscriptions. This new field of endeavor has revolutionized the American women. With one million women making house-to-house canvasses, working in booths in department stores, making automobile campaigns, and talking bonds from every street corner, the old idea has been eliminated that the American woman is a pampered, parasitic pet. The machinery of the National Woman's Liberty Loan committee is already in action for the fourth Liberty loan, and in every federal reserve district and in every state the million workers stand ready to fusillade with their energy and patriotism the ammunition stores of wealth for the fighting men of the nation. Yale Lingo Suited Him. "I met a funny noncommissioned officer by St. Paul's," writes William Colley, an American, in the London Sunday Herald. "It's your twang that kives you away," he said. "Try to talk like us. 'Erie, if I ad you for a d'y I'd 'ave you talking like a born Londoner. All you got to do is forget all them aitches. Don't say can't like that. Say cawn't." "I said it. 'Now say, 'Gor blimy, 'ow's the missis?' "I did. 'That's right! Oh, you'll soon get into the swing of it.' "Nice fellow, wasn't he? But what we picked up at Yale will see me through." No Chance. "Nothing is impossible," asserted the chap who always has a bromide on the end of his tongue. "Oh, isn't it?" jeered the other. "What chance do you think you have of living to see yourself a dead body?" Very Personal. Jackson—I've been insulted by the insolent old barber who shaved me. Wilson—Indeed! Jackson—Yes; he said shaving me reniated him of a game he used to play, called "hunt the hair." FLIGHT BEFORE FRANCO-YANKS FROM VESLE RESEMBLES ALMOST A ROUT. BRITISH FORGE AHEAD FLAMES AND EXPLOSION MARK TRAIL OF GERMANS FLEE. ING BEFORE HAIG. Western Newspaper Union News Service. "We are in mortal danger every day. We cannot last much longer. We cannot hope for further successes. Our enemy is superior to us in numbers, and everything else. Victory now is out of the question." —From letter of German soldier captured by British troops. London, Sept. 6.—Four hundred and sixty-five enemy machines have been destroyed and 200 disabled since the commencement of the offensive on Aug. 8, according to an official statement on aerial operations. Sixty-one hostile balloons were destroyed and 911 tons of bombs dropped on various targets. Two hundred and sixteen British machines are missing. The French and Americans are fast driving the Germans out of their positions in southern Picardy and in the sector between the Vesle and Aisne rivers. So rapid has been the progress of the allies—the French in Picardy and the Americans and French from Soissons eastward toward Rheims—that the retirement of the enemy has the appearance of the beginning almost of a rout. Meanwhile, Field Marshal Haig in the north, from Peronne to Ypres, has been almost as busily engaged with his troops in carrying out successful maneuvers which are only in a slightly less degree of rapidity forcing the Germans everywhere to give ground. Haig's men again have made the Germans taste bitter defeat on numerous sectors and the end of the punishment for them seems not yet in sight. In the latest fighting in the region extending from the old Noyon sector to Soissons the French have reclaimed thirty villages from the Germans; have crossed the Somme canal at several points and are standing only a short distance from the important junction of Ham with its roads leading to St. Quentin and La Fere. On the south they have made further crossings of the Ailete river and are fast skirting the great wooded region which acts as a barrier to direct attack on Laon, the Chemin des Dames, and the western Aisne defenses of the enemy. Seemingly at the present rate of progress this barrier shortly will have been overcome and indeed the entire salient northwest of Soissons obliterated. Already the French south of Fresnes, on the fringe of the high forest of Coucy, have penetrated the old Hindenburg line. All behind the lines northeast of Noyon great conflagrations are to be seen, particularly around Jussy and La Fere, which apparently indicates that the Germans intend to fall back as fast as they can to the old German lines running southeastward from St. Quentin. In the initial maneuver to the retreat along the Vesle front the Americans and French captured both Bazoches and Fismette. From Bazoches they moved six miles northward to Viel-Arcy, while from Fismette they have penetrated more than three miles northward to Barbonval, which is only a little more than a mile south of the Aisne. The French and Americans are hard after the Germans between the Vesle river and the Aisne and for more than eight miles, extending from Conde to Viel-Arcy, they have driven the enemy across the Aisne and are standing on the southern bank of the river. Eastward toward Rheims, almost up to the gates of the cathedral city, the German lines is falling back northward. At the anchor point of the line in the vicinity of Rheims, however, the Germans seem to be holding, evidently realizing that a retrograde movement here would necessitate a straightening of their line perhaps as far eastward as Verdun. In Flanders the British have taken the town of Ploegsteert and positions southwest of Messines and northeast of Wulverghem and repulsed strong counter attacks launched against them. The Germans have been violently bombarding the Americans at Frapelle, on the eastern end of the battle front in Lorraine, but have attempted no infantry attacks. More than 3,000 shells, many of them gas projectiles, have been sent into the American line by the enemy. Wilson to Visit Denver on Trip. Washington. President Wilson almost certainly will visit Denver during his Western tour in connection with the Fourth Liberty Loan drive. This was announced Thursday by Senator Shafroth of Colorado, following a visit to the President by the senator, who extended cordial invitations to the chief executive from the mayor and the Civic and Commercial Association of Denver. Senator Shafroth was confident President Wilson will include Denver in his itinerary. Western Beef Co. Open Daily to 8:30 p. m.

BURTON Motto—"Efficiency" A Those very handsome separate skirts that came in along with rich, new fabrics for summer set a pace for elegance and style that is not easy to keep up with. But the separate skirts for fall measure up to their standard, which is saying more for these heavier skirts than could ever be said before. Many of the new skirts are made of cloths woven especially for them. These goods are plain, with borders an wide or narrow bands in contrasting colors, or patterned with wide bands in alternating colors over all their surface, or bordered with cross-bar bands, or perfectly plain. Now that the looms are busied with the affair of the separate skirt we may expect revelations in fine designing. In all the new models pockets, large buttons and novel girdles—nearly always wide—are style features on which designers have centered attention. In wool goods for plain skirts, jersey cloth remains a favorite and in silk poplin is not outrivaled as yet, although tricot may soon take the About New Fall Suits ```markdown ``` Manufacturers of soils assure us that no supply of wool beyond that they have already secured is in sight, and it follows that our spring clothes are likely to be made of some other sort of material. Already a variety of new materials is on the shelves of the stores and in the stock rooms of the factories. Whoever needs a wool suit would best buy it early in the season before the supply runs out. It may have to do service for the next three years; but it is easy to put up with this state of things. If all the wool is needed for the ever-increasing army, women will do without it. There are on hand just now suits and coats for fall in good wool materials and in many graceful styles. One of them is shown above in a practical and plain model that will prove a good investment. It will be noticed that the skirt is longer than for several seasons. This is an echo of French styles, which may or may not be accepted in America. American women like the cleanliness of shorter skirts and they also like their most businesslike style and may insist that, in street suits at least, the mandate for longer skirts be disobeyed. lead. The skirt shown in the picture is an example of good designing in a separate skirt since it is modish and good looking. It is of rose-colored wool jersey with silt pockets on each side, finished at their edges with double rows of machine stitching. The skirt is gathered with a little fullness at the front and more at the sides and back, to a moderately wide waistband. It fastens at the left side where the wide tab extending from the top of the girdle is fastened down with a snap fastener. The fichu of net, which has been such a favorite during the warm weather, gives promise of enjoying a decided popularity this autumn, especially for indoor frocks. Collars of fillet and sets of collar and cuffs in this modish lace are still being worn on dark cloth and satin dresses. Taffeta for Young Girls. Taffeta is a good choice for a young girl's best dress. A The suit pictured is of Himalaya cloth with large revers and an over collar of plush. The coat has a plain body with skirt pointed at each side and plaited on. It is bound with silk braid. A narrow belt wraps twice about the waist, once following the high waistline in the body and again about the top of the coat skirt. It is also trimmed with silk braid. Uneven length in coats makes graceful suits, but this style feature passed the zenith of its popularity during the spring and summer. Coats in nearly all the new suits are cut straight around the bottom, are moderately long, and many of them have large pockets. Convertible collars are meeting with such favor that we are sure of this comfortable and chic neck finishings for the coming fall and winter at least. In cofors brown, biege and blue have the lead, with all shades of brown in strong demand. But one cannot make a mistake in choosing any one of them.
