LAURELS FOR FIELD SIGNAL ONLY COLORED SIGNAL UNIT IN COURAGE AND SKILL UNDER TION BY TELEGRAPH AND OUS AS WORK OF COM CROIX DE GUER ILLINOIS (By Ralph W. Tyler, Accredited Repr ublic Info) ARTICLE X. With the American Army in France, La Mans, Dec. 20.—One of the units of the American army to arrive here en route for embarkation to America that has made good, without having the glamour and spectacular settings of combat is the 325th Field Signal Battalion of the 92nd Army Division, the only Colored signal unit in the American Army. While this battalion has not had to occupy front line trenches; make raids for prisoners, or march, in battle formation, into big engagements, it must not be supposed that it did not have a dangerous, and a very dangerous, duty to perform. The boys of this battalion had to string the wires for telegraphic and telephonic connections at times when the enemy guns were trained upon them; so, in many respects, their duty took them into situations fully as dangerous as combatant units. this battalion is composed of all young Colored men, save the lieutenant-colonel, major, and two or three white line officers. They are all, with few exceptions, college or high school boys—not a few of them experts in radio and electric engineering, and those who were not experts in the work when the battalion was formed, are now most proficient men, Major Spencer, now lieutenant-colonel, who was responsible for the formation of this unit, was firm in the belief that Colored boys could make good, and he has remained with it long enough to experience his belief becoming a realization. After arriving at Brest June 19th, the battalion proceeded to Vitrey, and from that town began a four day hike to Bourbonne-les Bains, a distance of more than twenty miles. From this point, it proceeded, after a few days, to Voisey, and at Voisey the boys got their first taste of what was to be, later, their daily duties. Here the radio company received its quota of the latest type of French instruments, a battery plant was established, and a full supply of telephones and wire was issued to companies B and C. Here, too, the infantry signal platoons of the battalion joined the outfit and shared in the training. The first test of real courage given the men, and their first introduction into real fighting, in addition to stringing wires, and sending and receiving radio messages, came on the afternoon of September 27th when a party of liaison men, including the colonel and Lieut. Herbert, latter being Colored, advanced beyond the Battalion P. C. and at the suggestion of a French soldier, turned to the left. They soon found themselves beyond their lines, and directly in front of a German machine gun nest. The colonel divided his men into small groups and advanced on the enemy's position. This sortie resulted in the signal boys capturing eight German prisoners and two machine guns, but the attack caused the loss of Corporal ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION Charles E. Boykin, who did not return. Two days later, during general advance, Sergeant Henry E. Moody, of the Battalion, was mortally wounded while at his post. Boykin was killed outright, while Sergeant Moody died in the hospital from wounds received—these being the first two of the signal battalion to make the supreme sacrifice. On the 10th of October the 92nd Division took over the Marbache sector, relieving the 167th French Division, and here, also, the 325th Field Signal Battalion took over all existing lines of communications, and in the days following installed new lines, and maintained connections between the various units of the 92nd Division. This was no small duty, when it is remembered that an army "sector" extends over a wide area of many square miles, including in it from 50 to 100 cities and towns. The Marbache sector was an active front, and time and time again did there boys go ahead repairing lines, establishing new communications under shell fire, with no thought of personal danger—inspired only by that ideal of the signal corps man—get communication thru at any cost, but get it through. On the morning of November 10th, when the second army launched its attack on the famous Hindenburg line before Metz, the 92nd Division, with which I was with during this big attack, was holding the line of Vandieres-St. Michel-Xon-Nory. During the entire engagement, which lasted from 7 e'clock the morning of the 10th to 11 a.m. of the 1th, the entire signal corps functioned splendidly, and as one man, keeping up communications, installing new lines, repairing those shelled out. In writing the "finis" to this brief mention of this important army unit made up of young Colored men it is fitting that I tell of the particular work done by the boys of the 1st Platoon on the first day of the Metz battle. Shortly after the barrage was lifted, the big guns of the enemy began shelling Pont-a-Mousson. The first shells, as I vividly recall, hit on the edge of the city, and then gradually they began peppering the signal battalion's station. Sergeant Rufus B. Atwood, of the 1st Platoon, was seated in the cellar near the switchboard; Private Edgar White was operating the switchboard, and Private Clark the buzzerphone. Several officers and men were standing in the "dugout" cellar. Suddenly a German shell struck the top, passed through the ceiling and wall and exploded, making havoc of the cellar. Lieut. Walker, Colored, who arrived just at this time, displayed admirable courage. He took immediate charge, and directed things. Sergeant Atwood tried out the switchboard, and found all lines broken. He found, on trying it, the buzzerphone out. Private White then received orders to stay on the switchboard, and Corporal Adolphus Johnson on the buzzphone.

All this time the shelling, around this point, by the Germans was fierce and deadly—shells hitting all around the boys; struck a nearby ammunition dump causing the explosion of thousands of rounds of ammunition, which caused a terrific shock and all lights to be extinguished. But still these men worked on, and would not leave this dangerous post, a vertiable target for the enemy's big guns, until the lieutenant of the military police arrived and ordered them out. What these boys of the 325th Signal Battalion have not learned respecting radio, telephonic and telegraphic work is of little advantage to any one. What they have learned about it will be of great advantage to them when they return in making a living. The 325th Field Signal Battalion, whose rank and file is made up of young Colored men, has been a marvelous success. TO MAKE DISA SELF-SUP GOVERNMENT PROVIDES SYSTEM GALLANT DEFENDERS FOR RE OF CIVILIAN LIFE—WIVES, MC HEARTS URGED TO EXERT CATIONAL EDUCATION— AND HOW BENEFITS WASHINGTON, D. C.—Announcement is made by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, that this generous government of ours, in keeping with its time-honored policies and traditions of justice, proposes to make liberal provision for its soldiers, of whatever race, color or creed, who return from the battle front disabled or handicapped in any way to resume their places as workers in the civilian life of the world. Government to Fit Men for Return to Civilian Activities Civilian Activities. Through the Federal Board for Vocational Education the Government, in connection with the War Department, will undertake to restore all of its soldiers to their former self-supporting activities, in recognition of the sacrifices they have made in the fight for the liberty of the world, and of the fact that they have given freely of the strength of their bodies in defense of their country's flag. The Government is of the opinion that the announcement of such a plan cannot fail to inspire confidence in the soldier that his material interests are being cared for by competent authority and that the nation has no intention of forgetting his valued services and sacrifices. The centralization of this important matter under one directing agency cannot fail to make for efficiency and success. Wives, mothers and sisters of the brave fellows who went cheerfully to war and who have come back to them with a broken body, from wounds, shell shock, gases, exposure, disease or accident, are asked by the Government to back them up in their fight for readjustment and to urge them not to lose their ambition or enthusiasm in life, and through despondency become a charge or a burden to their loved ones. The Government of the United States is able and willing to make provision to help the disabled American soldier overcome his handi- GINAL IN PO WESTERN UNION EMPLOYS NEGRO MESSENGERS. Tulsa, Okla., Jan. 13.—The day of miracles has not passed. As a proof of this assertion one has only to behold the colored messenger boys darting hither and thither on their wheels, delivering and, receiving telegraph messages for the Western Union Telegraph Company, regaled in the headgear and other paraphernalia of the local company. And the messages coming in contact with their hands do not seem to be polluted. At first one doubted the truthfulness of his eyes, but the more he looked the more colored messengers he saw and now they are commonplace. When the first two or there colored boys were given employment the white lads stated they would not work with "niggers" and as fast as one quit another Race youth was employed, and thus Colored messengers are greatly in the majority now, and from all angles. No, dear reader, this is not a myth or fairy tale, but the real, unadulterated truth. And that isn't all. ABLED SOLDIERS SUPPORTING OF TRAINING TO PREPARE ITS RETURN TO FORMER ACTIVITIES OTHERS, SISTERS AND SWEET- INFLUENCE IN AID OF VO- DETAILS OF GREAT PLAN MAY BE OBTAINED. caps and take his place as an independent worker among men. Announcement is made that the Federal Board for Vocational Education will undertake the training of a disabled soldier for a new occupation or re-training to better fit him for his former occupation, this training to be free of cost if he is entitled to compensation under the war risk insurance law. His expense of training, personal living expenses and allowances for the support of his dependents will be paid by the Government, if he chooses to undertake training under the auspices of the Federal Board, whiche is made solely responsible to Congress for this work. The family or dependents of each disabled man will receive from the Government during his period of training the same monthly allowance as that paid prior to his discharge from the army or navy. It is left entirely at the option of the disabled man as to whether or not he chooses to take advantage of the Government's offer to retain him and reestablish him in civilian life. Therefore, this suggestion is made that wives, mothers, sisters and sweet-hearts of the men for whose benefit this provision has been made, exert their big influence to the end that their loved ones may make the right decision. Adapting Training and Locality to In Each case is treated individually, henge each man, if possible, is given his course of training adapted to his specific needs, and be reestablished as a worker near his own home. If conditions are such that this cannot be done, loyal American women are asked to still lend their aid in having the men take their training, even if they should be called upon to bear up bravely through a slight extension of the period of separation and exhibit anew the fortitude RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources 2,000,000 NEGROES FOUGHT IN WAR. The Negroes furnished more than 2,000,000 soldiers on the side of the allies. There were nearly 400,000 of our own men under the Stars and Stripes. France had 800,000 colored troops and Great Britain had 1,161. 800 colored troops. Does anyone doubt the significance of this force in the victory of the allies? Is there a man anywhere in the world that would deny to the race that these men represent since they fought for the freedom of the world, their own freedom in everything that relates to full citizenship? COURT REFUSES TO STAND FOR SEGREGATION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Galilpolis, O., Jan. 15.—White students walked out of the city schools when the Common Pleas Court decided that there could be no restrictions placed on the schools regarding the color of people who attended. The efort was being made by certain citizens to exclude dark faces from the student body, but the courts refused to uphold the evil practice. The white students who walked out are children whose parents are employed in the local factories. MINNESOTA TO HAVE COLORED GUARDSMEN. St. Paul.—Minnesota wil lbe one of three states in the union to boast of a battalion of Negro guardsmen upon and heroism which they so handsomely showed when the call to arms was first made. By taking advantage of the Government's offer of training, the soldier may be able to realize his ambitions to finish his work in college or trade school or master the vocation he had set his heart upon completing, when side-tracked by pre-war circumstances. He may thus be more efficiently trained and become eligible for a better job than he had before the war took him to camp or field. He must not be permitted to go to work as an unskilled laborer merely because the wages are good. He should be thoroughly trained for a job he can keep when times are not so prosperous, and for one in which he will have opportunities to gain promotion. It is understood that the Federal Board will make a special survey of the man-power needs of every section of the country, North, South, East and West, with a view of determining the character of the occupations which present the best opportunities for the men for whom employment is sought, and to train them for the pursuits for which they are most likely to find a market for their services. It is expected that places may be found available for them in industrial, agricultural, commercial and technical avenues, and the desires of those who wish to engage in professional callings will not be overlooked. The primary endeavor will be to fit the individual man for the job for which his inclination and capacity seem to indicate the strongest probability of success, scientifically adjusted to the likelihood for there being a demand for his services in the line of work selected.

RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. Colorado's public utilities commission has authorized the Colorado Midland Railway to dismantle its trackage from Divide to NiWot and from Leadville to Basalt. After sixty days the road may also dismantle other portions of its trackage, but must continue in operation between Colorado Springs and Divide until further notice. The sixty days period allowed is intended to give interested parties the opportunity to retrieve those portions of the road. Claiming Lake county, with 586 soldiers and sailors in the war out of its estimated population of 10,000, holds foremost place in the state in furnishing fighters for Uncle Sam, several public spirited citizens at Leadville have banded together to secure construction of a memorial monument on which the names of the entire roster of military men from the county will be lettered in bronze. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE COLORADO STATESMAN The Board of County Commissioners of El Paso county in their last session passed a resolution appropriating $3,000 to be used in payment of debts incurred during the influenza epidemic. This is the county's share of the expense, and it will prevent further delay of payment of bills due to the exhaustion of the Colorado Springs city treasurer's appropriation of $5,000. Louis Meining, young Larimer county ranchman, who was arrested last fall by Sheriff Cooke on the charge that he had intentionally injured his foot to escape military service, has been fully vindicated by the military authorities, has been released from custody and restored to duty. The state auditor has notified Mary C. C. Bradford, state superintendent of public instruction, that there is available for apportionment among the school districts of the state out of the public school income fund the sum of $323,928.92. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. Dean of Women Mrs. Gilpin Brown of the State Teachers' College at Greeley, has issued orders that no girl student of the college shall receive callers at her boarding house except on Friday and Saturday. Co-operative marketing provides a simple, inexpensive way for the farmers to market their livestock, according to R. W. Clark of the Agricultural College. Mr. Clark says: "The farmers simply form an organization and hire a manager. Whenever a farmer has any livestock to sell he notifies the manager and as soon as enough stock has been reported to make a shipment, cars are ordered" and the shipment goes forward. This system of marketing is increasing the quality and quantity of livestock wherever it is used. A report on a recent shipment of cattle to Denver from the Western Slope shows that the farmers received $9.77 per head more than they were offered at home. Some of the animals sold for $19 more per head than the local market offered. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. Finding jobs for returned soldiers is no problem in Denver, according to George W. Vallery, assistant state director of the United State Labor Department. "The business men of Denver are giving the soldier preference every time," says Mr. Vallery. "Not a day passes but some firm calls up and asks me to send over a soldier—and I find the man for them. The firms whose employees went to war hear that their men have returned, and they want them to know that their old positions are waiting for them." TWODOLLARSAYEAR THE GREAT ORGAN OF THE According to H. S. Bird, investigator of the United States Bureau of Markets, complaints from the Eastern cities have been received stating that many of the Colorado potatoes received there daily were frozen. This, he stated, was for the most part due to improper loading, as the winter has been unusually mild in Colorado. Aliens in Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho are taking a fast-increasing interest in becoming Americans, and in getting an education, according to Paul Armstrong, head of the Denver division of the United States Naturalization Service. Articles Issued by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education and the National Kindergarten Association DAD By HENRY TURNER BAILEY. Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.—Prov. 17:6. Shake hands, Dad. How many children call you that? There are five who have called me Dad or Pa or Poppy. Excuse me for mentioning it, but I want you to know that I am no mere theorist in this matter of being the father of a family. Now here is some straight stuff: It is father's duty to give some time every week to his boys and girls. The only time I have been able to give to mine is Sunday. My Sundays have belonged to the children. I have been to church and Sunday school with them always, because in the light of some hundreds of years of history, there is nothing that yields better returns, in the long run, than habitual reverence for God. "Only those who believe in God do good in private," say the French. Sunday afternoons we have always taken a walk, when the weather permitted, or if too stormy, we have read story books together, or have made various kinds of scrap books. Much Time to Nature Study. In our walks we usually had a definite objective. We went to see somebody, or to get a particular view, or to visit our favorite trees, or to look for some one thing in particular. We counted birds' nests one trip; on another we searched for cocoons; on a third, dug into old stumps to see what we could discover; or looked under pieces of wood and bark; found the smallest growing things; collected leaves or seed packs of as many kinds as possible; learned the wild flowers, the birds, the butterflies and moths, the ferns, the trees, the mushrooms; made collections of colored things—flowers, leaves, insects, pebbles and so forth, and arranged them in the spectrum order; followed a brook in summer with Tennyson's Brook as a guide; followed one in winter with Lowell's Brook (in the Vision of Sir Launfal) as a guide. In a word we studied God's great, wonderful outdoor book in the afternoon, just as diligently as we studied the best literature in the morning. And what results? Five open-eyed, open-minded, intelligent young men and women, devoted to their parents and grateful for what their heavenly father and his children have done for them, a mother who is still young and happy (because she got a little rest on Sunday during those strenuous years), to say nothing of a father who now thanks God for the privilege of still being a boy though in his fifties. Family Interested Own Members. We shall never forget those long evenings in our city home when the girls came back from seminary and high school, and the boys from Harvard and "Tech," and we sat around the dinner table together, forgetful of time. We were all more entertaining to each other than any show ever staged, because by this time each of the children had discovered his own special field of interest and delved in it beyond the limit of the others in the great realms of nature and literature that we had begun to enjoy together when they were little children. Each one could therefore make his own particular contribution to the delight of all. Pool rooms, saloons, clubs, stag parties? When will short-sighted, self-indulgent, arogant fathers learn that in their own wives and children are the possibilities of perennial delights and solid satisfactions compared with which other things are dust and ashes? TOYS "MADE IN AMERICA" By MRS. MARTHA GALLAUDET WARING. "Clear track, toot-toot, ding-a-lang, chu-chu, all aboard!" all of which means that my two-year-old is at his favorite play. As I look out of my window I see him on his kiddy car, pushing along with his sturdy legs and pulling a train behind him consisting of an iron locomotive and three cars. His point of departure is the "station," proclaimed a center of traffic by a "wind-up auto-delivery wagon," a small one-horse cart full of "wocks," and a two-mule cart in which sits Seraphina, his rag doll, holding her baby. His objective is "Tybee" at the other end of the long, straight plaza, so called after the island of that name which we frequently visit in the summer. A gateway, built up of 1-inch cubes and long brick-shape pieces of wood, marks the entrance to the "岛." Boy has been playing this way the better part of an afternoon, with an occasional bit of encouragement from elder sisters near by. He is playing with things that afford plenty of room for original work, manipulation, and imagination, the auto toy being the nearest approach to a mechanical one, and the one he cares least about. Everything he has's solid and substantial enough to be really used and enjoyed. Made in Our Own Country. As I watch him racing up and down in his kiddy car, I wonder at his control over it until I study its simple and excellent mechanism. Its front wheel can turn in any direction, its steering gear is strong and easily managed, and it is made entirely of wood. Both carts are also of wood, as well as the mule and horse, and all are well painted and strongly put together. The cars are painted red, white and blue, so I know they are made in our own country. The rag babies we made ourselves, and although they are "of a crudeness," they are none the less beloved. The blocks were made by measure at a wood yard. Being large and easily handled, a child can build gates, bridges and platforms with them big enough to walk under or upon, and strong enough to stand firm after they are built. Our older children when they were small played principally with imported dolls dressed in native costumes. And I can remember that my brother and I had handsome books brought from England, that my finest dolls were French and his regiments of toy soldiers came mostly from the land of militarism. But our baby boy, born during the world war and forced to rely on sturdy, home-made toys, is much better off. Lesson for Mothers. There is a two-fold lesson here for us mothers. One concerns the children themselves and the other goes far afield into the laws of economics, world production and the like. We have found that our own substantial, wooden, easily-handled playthings are what our children need and want. Children's books we have aplenty, the most artistic, I suppose, in the world. And then we can demand well-made, pretty American dolls. It only remains for us to hold to all these, and prove our patriotism by refusing to buy foreign manufactured toys, even if they are put on the market again later on. A far cry, isn't it, from baby boy with his "toot-toot, ding-a-lang, chuchu," on the plaza, to the law of supply and demand and the regulation of one of the great industries of the world? But in just such ways we are now finding out how great problems must be handled. We are going back to our earlier and simpler days, when we shall discard the nonessentials as so much waste and rubbish. Let us begin, then, at the beginning and stick to toys—made in America. MARIE GOLD. By ELLEN EDDY SHAW. I wonder how many boys and girls would like to support and care for a little French orphan this winter? I know one whose name is Marie Gold. Some people call her Marigold. You can buy her for about five cents. She comes in a little paper package, and when you look at the seeds inside you will wonder how a nice little French baby is going to come out of that. But if you plant those seeds, six of them, in a little three-inch pot you will have anywhere from four to six French babies poking out of the soil. Fill your flower pot to within an inch of the top with nice garden soil. If you have none saved up you can buy a little from the florist. Then lay four or six seeds carefully on top, cover them with one-quarter inch of soil and press this soil down carefully with your fingers. After a week or ten days you will see pushing up and out the first of your six orphans. Little Marie Gold will grow to be about five inches tall and then she will have a bright, golden flower head. She is a little dwarf and never grows any taller. Out in the garden in the summer grows her American cousin, quite tall; but little French Marie Gold never reaches, even outdoors, more than eight inches in height. It will take about six weeks from the time you plant the seeds to the time when she blossoms. I know of no little flower child so hearty, so cheerful, and so easy to raise as she. All the boys and girls who can get a box or a little pot of some soil may have French marigolds blooming indoors in the winter. They are no trouble to care for, because all they need is a little sunlight and an occasional drink of water. Walt until the soil around them gets very dry and then give them plenty of water to drink. Flower children are like real children; they need kind treatment and good care. So look out for little French Marie Gold, and she will blossom and smile away at you. To Mothers—I know of no little plant so easy to raise and so satisfactory in results as the French marigold. Do not make the mistake of buying the seeds of the common American marigold, for it will not do as well as its little French sister. Neither is it as dainty, nor as attractive to children. How New York Got Nickname. "City of Gotham" is a nickname of foreign origin with no particular applicability. Gotham is the name of an ancient village in England, whose inhabitants, according to tradition, once escaped a burdensome duty about to be put upon them by feigning stupidity. This smart trick in pretending to be fools gave rise to the expression "the wise men of Gotham" and the story of "the three wise men of Gotham who went to sea in a bowl." The name was first applied to New York city in a humorous magazine called Salmagundi, started in 1807 by Washington Irving and two or three others, in which they made fun of the pretensions of some of the "wise men of Gotham," meaning the New York of that day. The magazine was read, the fun-making approved and the nickname became permanent. SIX OFFICERS MAY KEEP HIGH GRADES DEMAND IS THAT PERSHING MARCH, BLISS, BENSON, MAYO AND SIMS RETAIN RANK. PLAN WILL BE CONTESTED No Objection in House to Any of Senate's Tax Amendments to the Great Revenue Bill — Guards Removed From Public Buildings. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington. After the Civil war, a contest of four years in which there was an opportunity to develop splendid officers, three men finally received the rank of lieutenant general and general. They were Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. But it was long after the Civil war before Sherman and Sheridan were advanced. Two men, Farragut and Porter, became admirals. For the most part, officers of high rank in both the army and the navy were demoted. They held commissions as volunteer officers, many being major generals and many brigadier generals. But when the army was reduced, many of these major generals found themselves either majors or lieutenant colonels. Only a few became colonels. After the Spanish war there were a great many promotions. Men went up to high rank in both the army and the navy. And now, since the big war has closed, there is a demand for keeping the temporary high grades. It is suggested that March, now the chief of staff: Pershing, in command of the American army, and Bliss, who has been in France in a military capacity, shall be retained for life as generals, and that the men who have been made lieutenant generals shall also retain their rank. The demand is also made that Benson, Mayo and Sims retain their ranks as admirals in the navy, instead of going back to their positions in the regular navy as rear admirals. There is bound to be a bitter contest over this in congress, but it would not be surprising to see these high grades recognized in the army and navy appropriation bills. It was interesting to note that when the great revenue bill went back to the house of representatives with its more than 600 senate amendments, there was no contest made over any tax increases or tax reductions or tax additions. No contest was raised over the question of making a different rate of taxation for 1920 from that for 1919. The contested "items consisted of legislation. Four were brought forward, one relating to making the District of Columbia bone-dry; another to prevent child labor by the use of the taxing power; a third to compel contributors to political campaigns to pay 100 per cent on contributions over $500, to the United States government; and the fourth, the repeal of the zone postage law and establishment of a different rate of postage on second-class matter. These items caused considerable discussion. Members of the house showed more interest in them than they did in the taxing features of the bill. One reason was that every man in the house could understand the four propositions that caused the controversy and they did not understand very much about the tax portions of the bill. The guards that clustered so thickly around the entrances to the government departments during the war have disappeared. There was a time, and it lasted until a few weeks ago, when a stranger had to undergo a sort of quisition before being permitted to go into a government office and transact his business. Passes were issued to employees and people whose business often required them to visit the departments, but others had to say whom they wanted to see and what they wanted to see him about before they were passed through the cordon of guards. With the end of the war, however, demobilization began, and now there are only the regular number of watchmen on duty. Several of the departments have reopened their doors to sightseers. Some Republicans who are looking forward to success in 1920 are anxious on account of the prospective splits among the Republicans in both the senate and house. In the house of representatives the division will not amount to much. With 46 majority there will not be enough insurgents to prevent the Republicans from settling their differences in caucus. But in the senate, with only two majority, one or two senators are able to upset any caucus action and they promise to do so unless they can have their way. It is pointed out that these Republicans cannot understand that their victory will be valueless if they cannot harmonize differences and that a quarrel is very apt to disorganize the party to such an extent that it cannot go into the next presidential campaign with hope of success. The anxious ones hark back to the differences in 1910 which gave the Democrats their congressional victory, and the split in 1912 which assured the Democrats a presidential victory. Going still further back, they point out that it was the differences and splits among the Democrats that kept that party out of power for so many years. But men who get set in their ways and very much determined are not apt to change simply for the purpose of preserving harmony. Senator James Hamilton Lewis would like to change the method by which the senate pays tribute to its dead members. "If it were in my power," he said in an address upon the late Senator Tillman. "I would abolish our prevailing method of giving obituary—delaying the tribute until convenient time. I would invoke in this body that other rule prescribing that when the solemn announcement of the death of a comrade came to us, and there were those disposed to speak of his qualities and deserts, that duty should be discharged then." If the Illinois senator's suggestion were adopted, the obituary speeches might not be so polished and full of poetical quotations, but they would probably convey more feeling. An interesting fact in connection with closing up the affairs of the great war is that negotiations differ from all other peace negotiations, just as this war differed from all other wars. For instance, the allies are going to hold important conferences and will then call in the Germans, Austrians, Turks and Bulgars and tell them just what they can agree to. Heretofore when peace negotiators met, the victors and the vanquished generally met on equal terms. Such at least was the way in which the Americans and Spaniards met at the peace conference which closed up the Spanish war. Of course the victors always have the upper hand, but the vanquished are usually treated as equals during the negotiations. But the Germans are not going to stand entirely as inferiors. When the peace terms are presented to them by the allied delegates it is said that the Germans intend to stand firmly upon the 14 points made by President Wilson. They are preparing to assert that they offered to make peace on the 14 points; that the president then asked the men who made this proposition for whom they were speaking, and they replied the German people; that thereupon an armistice was proposed and they were told to go to General Foch and deal with him as to armistice; that they went to General Foch and accepted his terms as to the armistice; that now they get back to the peace terms in the 14 points, and they will claim that as Great Britain and France accepted those 14 points, Great Britain excepting the freedom of the sens proposition only, the United States and the allies are bound to make peace on the 14 points. But even if this is the proposition from Germany it must be remembered that the allies have the German fleet, most of the German guns, all of the territory conquered by the Germans, and that they are very well established in the strongholds of the Germans on the frontier. And more than that, General Foch did not say anything about 14 points in the armistice and the armistice was later than the message of the 14 points, and more than all else. Germany will be compelled to accept whatever the allies offer in the way of peace terms. Southern men are saying that the wheat farmers are going to have the better of the cotton growers after all. Wheat producers were very much dissatisfied that the price of wheat was fixed and retained at $2.20 a bushel when the demand would have forced the price much higher than that figure. A great point was made that no price was fixed on cotton, although it was soaring around 35 and 37 cents a pound. A Southern member of the house said that the advantage next year was going to lie with the wheat grower. He would still have his $2.20 a bushel, even if Argentine and Australian wheat was coming in at $1 or $1.25 a bushel. The cotton grower, however, not having his price fixed at 35 cents a pound, which was suggested a short time ago, is likely to face a price of 16 or 17 cents a pound next year. Consequently the wheat farmer will have all the best of it, though he was very much disturbed that a higher price was not fixed for his wheat. The end of the war caused a reduction in the price of wheat and will cause a reduction in the price of cotton. If the war had continued the demand for both these commodities would have increased. Congressman Doolittle of Kansas no doubt voiced the idea of a great many Americans in a resolution that he has introduced which provides that the American army shall march up the streets of Berlin. "We're going to Berlin" was one of the battle cries when the armies were being organized in this country and when they were being sent overseas. No doubt there is a vast deal of disappointment in this country that some sort of a smash could not have been made which would have prevented any peace talk until the victorious allies were in the German capital, and that the terms of peace were not dictated and forced down the throats of the Germans in the emperor's palace. However, congress is not likely to take any action looking to the sending of an army to Berlin. Somebody addressed Medill McCormick as "senator" the other day, although he is not entitled to that designation until after the fourth of March. "That is a ponderous title," remarked McCormick, who is not in the least "set up," nor has he any "swelled head" on account of his election to the "grreatest legislative body in the world." At the same time he is mighty glad to go to the senate.

A NATION'S TRUE SPIRIT. has read the article "The Lynchings of the News from the New York World," the conclusion of a division in the mind of THE TRUE SPIRIT OF A NATION. We into consideration, as the convenient locus when it suits the taste or fits the action, and all other gross inconsistencies, that this mockery would cause men to forget on the scene that would prove be the lurking of that animus between SG the Civil War.

The autagonically clearly evidenced by the flagrant brigade federal republic, and its clamoring for thought about the woeful internal trouble of a century ago is a proof of its since a government. The Bolshevik spirit instrate its creed and what it stands for several years, and the leaders were THE TIME to show their hands in the referred to on "Jeffersonism" reminds us of action, and while the members of the means to the end, yet the world's still take advantage of that which will bring their fellow Americans, in the end taking lies, a remedy for all national ills, and can be commended for his loyalty, active at heart of THE NATION'S TRUST, or any other constitutional amendment of the great established principle the heartiest support of the Negro element to have absolute control of the great their power to BREAK UP THE SOLID another gruesome experience. ANYONE who has read the article "The Lynching of Jeffersonism." reproduced in the News from the New York World, can not help from arriving at the conclusion of a division in the minds of Americans of what constitutes THE TRUE SPIRIT OF A NATION. We have contended, taking everything into consideration, as the convenient loyalty, the shout of "United America" when it suits the taste or fits the action, the "sweet land of liberty" problem and all other gross inconsistencies, that sooner or later the indulgence of this mockery would cause men to forget themselves and incidents would appear on the scene that would prove beyond a doubt the smoldering cinder, the lurking of that animus between SOUTH and NORTH since the close of the Civil War. True as we would be to the principles of our American institutions, defend as we will with our last drop of blood our country from the invasion and assault of the enemy, getting the credit as being "people of common sense, sound judgment, superior intelligence, that would not suffer the dominant action of a sect or little band of disturbers of the people to govern us." as Secretary of Agriculture Houston asserted with emphasis in his address to the Stockmen's Association last Wednesday, yet in spite of all these, the facts are presenting themselves more and more that we are not very comfortably seated on that VOLCANIC STOOL, the lava of which is being emitted prior to the great upheaval, the detonations of which will be heard and felt the world over if the "Nation's true spirit" is not to be found in the hearts of men. The antagonism of the NORTH is clearly evidenced by the flagrant breaches of the Constitution of this federal republic, and its clamoring for the return of the same cause that brought about the woeful internal trouble in this country a little more than half a century ago is a proof of its sincerity of setting up a government within a government. The Bolsheviki spirit which is now endeavoring to demonstrate its creed and what it stands for, in our opinion, has been with us for several years, and the leaders were only awaiting what they would call THE TIME to show their hands in the most naked form. The article referred to on "Jeffersonism" reminds us of what can be done by solidity of action, and while the members of the black race are always used as the means to the end, yet the world's recent conflict will prove that they will take advantage of that which will bring them conspicuously in the mind of their fellow Americans, in the end taking his place as an adjuster of all troubles, a remedy for all national ills, and a component part of this nation that can be commended for his loyalty, devotion and an unfettered representative at heart of THE NATION'S TRUE AND UNITED SPIRIT. Prohibition, or any other constitutional amendment, for the betterment and not the detriment of the great established principles of our Democracy, will receive the heartiest support of the Negro element, and now that Republicans are soon to have absolute control of the government, we ask them to do all in their power to BREAK UP THE SOLID SOUTH and save the country from another gruesome experience.

In going over the ancient and medieval history of the world on "the rise and fall of nations," we came to this conclusion, that persecution, martyrdom, etc., were the means by which people who were zealous in the establishment of their propaganda handed the spirit of freedom down to their posterity, giving them a permanent legacy by and thru which a certain influence or prestige was perpetuated. We are more than glad that neither of these two men have had to be victimized, but with every manly principle within us we hail gloriously the courage, the strength of character, the pride of the consciousness of liberty that they possess—the same proving beyond a doubt that we have among our race men with the stamina, the grit and all that it takes to present a front that will make the real impression for all time that must of necessity win recognition. The cringing, cowardly member of our race who intrigues or acts in collusion with the other side merely from fear is first to be pitied; but when he reads, hears—in fact, sees, that we are the possessors of noble-minded, big-hearted, NOT-AFRAID-TO-DIE characters, then they ought to cloth themselves with the inspiration such incidents offer, and joining in the larger usefulness of protesting such wrongs, even at the great halls of government, and if necessary, at the foot of the presidential chair, rouse themselves from the chaotic state that they have dwelt in, and measure up to the citizenship that the pillars of this democracy will not hestate to recognize but gladly accept as a potent factor to the nation in the government of ourselves and an arch-contributor to the preservation of good government. We are very proud of these two characters, and may the three-score years and ten pass over them so that they may be able to inculcate in us and posterity the spirit of self-respecting manhood, impressing us with the great possibilities to be achieved and the entertainment of that bull-dog tenacity which makes us grip with firmness from which they will never relax. The Only Way in Which Germany Can Be Made Truly Safe for Democracy liberated from autocratic leaders. German-speaking lawyers and statesmen and other prominent Germans who are familiar with our system of government should be sent by the United States to assist the democratic leaders in the reconstruction of a government on a republican basis like that of the United States or Switzerland. The Germans should not attempt some new method, like that of socialism, which has not been tried. The present government of Germany, in nominal control, has ordered an election on January 19, 1919, to elect by universal suffrage delegates to a constitutional assembly, to make the constitution for the federal government comprising the twenty-five existing states. Unless Hindenburg's present army can be relied upon to protect the convention which is to be assembled, effort should be made to enlist a republican army, composed of those loyal to the proposed new government, which will protect the delegates while working out a new republic. The people in Germany need strong, well-informed republican leaders, capable of joining together under one banner intelligent, clear-headed citizens. They need their support in establishing this new system of government, patterned after the United States or Switzerland, which has already been tested and found satisfactory. The autocratic rulers formerly controlling Germany are watching the outcome of the present revolutionary movement and secretly aiding in fomenting discord among the different parties, expecting eventually to step suddenly forward and seize the reins of government under the plea of maintaining order. In this way they will claim it is necessary for them to re-establish the old autocratic system of force to maintain a monarchical government. The transformation to a republic can take plaee quicker and with less friction in Germany than in Russia, as the mass of the German people are better educated and more suited for self-government. The more rational and intelligent middle class will be able to control the extreme socialistic element and eradicate or overpower bolshevism and keep control of the state governments. The bolsheviki do not understand the fundamental principles of the science of government and are not able to formulate a practical working constitution and establish a state which would be recognized by other modern governments. Tribute to the American Red Cross Is World-Wide and Heartfelt Tribute to the American Red Cross Is World-Wide and Heartfelt General Pershing—To the millions of women whose hearts and hands are consecrated to the service, to the millions of the men, rich and poor alike, throughout the country who have contributed and sacrificed, and even to the millions of children of our schools who are doing their part, it should be made clear that the relief and comfort contributed by them through the American Red Cross to the men in service is essential. General Petain—I have just received the letter in which you announce that the commission of the American Red Cross has voted a new credit of 10,000,000 francs in favor of the most needy families of French officers, noncommissioned officers and soldiers. I know that in addressing the American Red Cross I speak in reality to the people of the United States. My thanks, therefore, go to your people and I am happy thus to have the occasion to transmit to them the evidence of the grateful affection of our army. The French troops will remain under arms probably for a long time, but thanks to your intervention many of the cares will be dissipated and many of the misfortunes will be lightened. Surgeon General Ireland, U. S. A.—The American Red Cross has performed a three-fold function in the great war. It has been the invaluable ally of the medical department in assisting it to care for the sick and wounded. It has been the great agency of rescue and support to the unfortunate refugees who were driven from their homes. Finally it has, by its canteen service at the railroad stations and its searchers for the wounded, been the cheering, heartening and helpful agency for our travelworn men. Of all these functions and services none can now be given up or abandoned. The medical department will need the help of the Red Cross until the last wounded man is safely returned to his home. The men in their billets and camps during the cold, cheerless French winter will need the comradeship and wholesome good fellowship of the Red Cross women. The searchers will be the agents of communication between the wounded and their families at home. The refugees, too, must not be left helpless until the elements of the family have been united. Now, therefore, it is time for a closer and more active functioning and a larger and more zealous membership for the American Red Cross. Admiral Sims, U. S. N.—I have often heard people say, "Why is it necessary to care for sick and wounded soldiers and sailors through an organization like the American Red Cross? Why does not the government do the work? The fact is the government is not capable of doing it the way the Red Cross does. When an emergency turns up we sometimes have not the facilities, sometimes not the legal authority to do all we ought to do. The emblem of the Red Cross is two small pieces of red tape laid neatly across each other. But so far as I know this is the only bit of red tape they've got. They can do things unhampered by rules or regulations. When our men are sick or wounded and we need quick action, unhampered and free, that's where the Red Cross comes to the front. Secretary of War Baker—Prior to the signing of the armistice the work of the American Red Cross was confined within home and neutral areas or within areas under entente control. Now its scope is obviously enlarged to embrace virtually the entire continent of Europe, together with great portions of Asia. The task which confronts this great service of mercy is thus vastly increased. I am sure that all Americans will wish to put their hands to the work of healing and reconstruction and of the channels open none is worthier of support than this. PETER H. BURTON By BARTOW A. ULRICH The friends of German democracies, especially the descendants of who have recently been actively enlightened of the fundamental representative democracy, should now be possible to establish a real reef whose previously classed as pro-German love for the fatherland lies in Germany toward building a form of government to replace theocratic leaders.

Into the American Red World-Wide and Heart The friends of German democracy in the United States, especially the descendants of the heroes of 1848, who have recently been actively engaged in directing the thought of the Germans in this country to a proper understanding of the fundamental principles of our representative democracy, should now assist in every way possible to establish a real republic in Germany.

Whereas, The people of our nation mourn the loss of Theodore Roosevelt patriot, soldier, statesman, and a President of the Republic, who depart this life on January 6, 1919, at an hour when not alone, our nation, but whole world, most needed the aid Mrs. Golphine and Mrs. Pollard, of 1413 E. 24th avenue, received the sad news of the death of their brother, Willie Freeman, of Nashville, Tenn. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved. Mrs. Golphine left last Sunday to be present at the funeral. Keep off Wednesday, Feb. 12, Lincoln's birthday. Greatest of the season's sportive events. Grand patriotic ball by the Five Points Patriots, Fern Hall. Morrison's wonderful Jazz Orchestra, Duke Conway, doorman. We extend our sympathy to our popular townsman, T. E. Henderson, employee of the Park Floral Co., for several years, over the severe accident that befell his little girl this week, when she was run over by an automobile and her skull fractured. Up to the time of going to press, Mr Henderson's daughter had made little progress. James E. Sherrill and family, consisting of wife and 19-year-old son, recently arrived in our city from Binghamton, N. Y., and so charmed are they with Denver and Western hospitality that they resolve to reside here permanently. We welcome these additions to our population, and hope these former residents of the far East will continue to entertain the best of Denver. Miss Katherine Hubbard entertained fourteen at an eight-course formal dinner dance recently, which was considered the most elaborate and smartest affair of the season. The decorations were carried out to the minutest detail in red. The hostess was charming in a red gown of satin brocade tastily combined with silk lace. She was assisted by Mrs. Fronzo Dickerson, who was attractive in silver cloth and scarlet, and Miss Hermione Jones was becomingly gowned in a pink georgette dancing frock trimmed with gold lace. Between dances delicious punch was served and the guests departed at wee sma' hours declaring Miss Hubbard a genial hostess. The ALWAYS JOLLY LADS in their initial effort providing fun gallore for the patrons of the Strutters Ball, set another highwater mark in the realm of pleasure and sportdom which will not be easily surpassed even by organizations older than their association. Stock Show strutters with their lassies gowned in variegated colors of the season vied with professionals in their conventional evening garb for the winning of the special reputation attached to this unique entertainment gotten up by the boys that have found a place in the hearts of the social set as worthy representatives of the best that fun and frolic can procure; and from the large attendance, coupled with the musical satisfaction given by the Morrison Jazz orchestra, proverbially famous for its entrancing effect, the consensus of opinion as heard by our scribe was particularly commendable followed by a wish for a recurrence of the event at a date not long distant. To the promoters, Messrs. Jones, Alleyne and Lattimore, the public owe a debt of gratitude for furnishing such healthy recreative entertainments which serve as a relief from the burdensome business role as well as a panacea for solitariness and the driving away of dull care. The Colorado Statesman wishes a bright and successful future for this new organization. STOCK SHOW OF 1919 ECLIPSES ALL PREVIOUS EVENTS. The general opinion of the large concourse of people that attended the Stock Show from last Monday is expressive of the best show in point of exhibition and attendance ever held in Denver. All exhibitors seemed to have made special efforts to obtain the coveted trophies and the management of this season's event can congratulate themselves upon the howling success that has crowned their efforts. CARD OF THANKS We wish to kindly extend our many thanks to the friends and neighbors for their kind assistance during the sickness and death of our beloved husband and son, William W. Hampton. MRS. WM. HAMPTON, wife, MRS. C. L. GREER, mother. PROCLAMATION Whereas, The people of our nation mourn the loss of Theodore Roosevelt, patriot, soldier, statesman, and a President of the Republic, who departed this life on January 6, 1919, at an hour when not alone, our nation, but the whole world, most needed the aid of his fearless and powerful mind in the period of reconstruction following the Great War; and. Whereas, Irrespective of creed or political affiliation, this great citizen enjoyed the affection and respect of all our people to a degree unexcelled by any man in the history of our nation, and because he stood foremost as an example of true Americanism, maintaining the dignity of America at home and abroad, and as an exponent of the highest private and public virtue; and. Whereas, Our people universally desire to give expression to their sorrow and to do appropriate honor to his memory; Now, therefore, I, Oliver H. Shoup, as Governor of the State of Colorado, do hereby, in accord with an act of Congress, proclaim Sunday, the ninth day of February, A. D. 1919, as a day set apart in our homes, in our churches, in our public and private councils, and in the hearts of our loyal citizens for memorial services to the memory of this Great American. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of State to be affixed at the State Capitol, Denver, Colorado, this twentieth day of January, A. D. 1919. OLIVER H. SHOUP, Governor of Colorado. JAMES R. NOLAND, Secretary of State. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN. East Twenty-third Ave. and Washington Street. Presbyter: J. A. Thos-Hazell, S.T.B. Sermon topics: Sunday, Jan. 26, 11 a. m., "Racers or Squatters—Which?" 5 p. m., "He Is Coming; He Has Come; He Will Come Again." The New Era Movement in the church is giving new impetus to the work. Last Sabbath afternoon the men met and organized "Comrades" of the movement. A wave of revival of religion seems to be pervading a large proportion of the membership. We sincerely hope those who have not yet been influenced by the new program of the church will put themselves in touch with it. The campaign will be opened Feb. 2 immediately after the adjournment of the conference of the "New Era Movement" in the Central Presbyterian, Church next Thursday and Friday. The response to the appeal of the members last Sabbath evening for Relief Work Among the Armenians and Syrian Christians in Asia was very gratifying. Mr. W. F. Lander reported Monday morning to Dr. J. Mont Gomery Travis the sum of $105.76. Others who did not contribute to this most worthy cause will have an opportunity tomorrow to do so. At the close of the evening services tomorrow the members are requested to repair to the chapel where light refreshments will be served by the social committee of the New Era Movement, and at which time further information will be imparted relative the practical working of the various committees. CHEYENNE, WYO., NEWS. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Davis are adding to their hotel quite an extension, a large basement and sixteen rooms. They will soon be able to accommodate a large number of people. The A. M. E. church have installed an up-to-date furnace in their church and enjoying the comfort thereof. Pastor Rev. Endicott is quite a hustler and seems to be doing a good work. Mrs. G. Walton of Denver, Colo., is here visiting her sister, Mrs. Allie Smith, who has been quite ill for the past week or ten days, but much improved at this writing. Mrs. Ollie Redd, who has been on the sick list for the past week, is able to be out again. The ice cream social that was given at the Second Baptist Church Monday night by Mrs. T. Brown and Mrs. A. Dickerson was a grand success. Mrs. J. H. Moss left Wednesday for Colorado Springs on account of the illness of her father. Mrs. H. Reed of Texas has come to Cheyenne to join her husband, Mr. Reed, who has been here for about six or eight months in the service of the Union Pacific R. R. Co. They will probably make this their future home. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Johnson have moved to 908 W. Twentieth street. Word has been received from Mrs. H. Flicker of Pittsburgh, Pa., that her husband had accidentally received a very serious burn while at his work, and is now confined in the hospital. Mrs. A. Norman went to Denver Saturday, returning Sunday night. Rev. G. S. Stacker had quite an attack of hiccups last week. NEW TELEPHONE TOLL RATES Effective January 21, 1919, as Announced on December 13, 1918, by the Postmaster General, Washington, D. C.

Phe Sheppard prohibition amend- ment, which hus Just been ratified by more than three-fourths of the states of the Union, the number required to minke It effective, becomes the eight- zenth umendment to the Constitution. The resolution providing for its sub- mission to the state legislatures, Intro- duced by Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas, was finally adopted by congress Devember 18, 1917, On January 16, 1919, less than thirteen months after the adoption of the resolution by con- gress, ratification of the amendment by the states was siccomplished, No pther proposed amebdment to the Con- stitution has been adopted with such speed, with the exception of that which provided for the abolition of slavery. Action on the seventeen other amendments that have been adopted has required from nine to forty-three months. ‘The war ts given the credit for has- tening the ‘udoption of prohibition In this country. ‘The economic aspect of the question was emplinsized by the war emergency, and the handwriting on the wall was seen when congress passed a luw providing for nation- wide prohibition as a war measure, to become effective July 1, 1919, and to continue until the armies of the Unit- ed States have been demobilized. If this Inw goes into effect, as contem- plated, the country will go dry July 1, although the constitutional amend- ment will not become effective until one year after Its ratification by the required number of state legislatures.

Bills providing for nation-wide proht- bition by legislation and resolutions proposing constitutional amendments for the same purpose have been before congress almost continually for more than 40 years. Senator H. W. Bluir of New Hampshire proposed the first amendment in 1876. This provided only for the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of spirituous distilled liquors for beverage purposes. He introduced 4 similar measure nine times, chang- ing it In 1886 to include all alcoholic liquors, Congressman Hobson of Alabama In- troduced the famous “Hobson resolu- toh” in the house December 19, 1913. ‘The resolution came to a yote Decem- ber 22, 1914, but received only 197 yates, while 258 were necessary for its adoption. ‘There is a probability that antiprohi- bition forces will attempt to secure an annulment of the ratification vote in several states and will attack the le- gulity of the action of congress. In San Francisco a court order has been secured restraining Governor Stephens temporarily from signing the ratifica- tlon of the amendment. It has been stated that simflar action may be taken In other states, including Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Missouri and Nebraska.

Women Have Been Prominent in Movement Through W. C. T. U.— Frances Willard Won World- Wide Fame. Ee a ee eee, tore oe ee el Dement the last fifty years because of the activities of the Prohibition purty. Other organizations, including the Antl-Saloon league, the Women’s Christian ‘Temperance union and oth- ers, which passed out of existence after cnreers extending over various periods of time, have fought for state and nftional prohibition, but the Pro- hibition party has continued tn exist- ence for a longer period of time than any other antiliquor organization, and It has continued in the face of discour- aging defeats. ‘The Prohibition party will celebrate Its fiftieth birthday next September. It was formally organized at a cou- vention held in Farwell hall, Chieazo. in Sepiember, 1869, when 19 stutes were represented by 500 delegates Wor several yeurs the formation of such a party had been discussed be- cause the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties had virtually ignored the advocates of prohibition. The Good Templars, organized tn 1851 as a society of totul abstainers, urged such action, and other leaders believed It necessary. At u state temperance convention held in Pennsylvania in 1S67 the plan was first publicly broach- ed, and two yeurs later on May 29, 1869, the call for the Chleago conven tion was put out by the grand lodge of the Good Templars in session at Os- wego, N.Y. A committee to formulate the plans was named, conprising Johu Russell, Detroit; J. A. Spencer, Cleve- land, 0.; James Bluck, Lancaster, Pa. ; John N. Stearns, New York, and Dan- fel Wilkins, Bloomington, Il. ‘The con- vention’ called by this committee or- ganized the party on September 1, adopted a platform and appointed 2 national committee of which John Rus Sell was chairman, First National Ticket. Nearly three years later, on Wash: Ington’s birthday, 1872, the new party met in convention in Columbus, O., to place a national ticket in the field. James Black was nominated for presi- dent and John Russell for vice presi- dent. Mr. Blick was a prominent Good Templar und also was one of the founders of the National Temperance Society and Publication house and of the Camp Meeting association ut Ocean Grove, N. J. Mr. Russell, also 4 leader of the Good Templars and # Methodist minister, was known as the father of the Prohibition party, for he published a newspaper, the Peninsular Herald, which led the way in advocat- ing the organization of the party for politieal action. With all their devotion to the cause, the Prohibition leaders hed no hope of success in the election of 1872, and they were not disappointed. Their ticket received only 5,607 votes. ‘This did not discourage them, and four years Inter they put Green Clay Smith of Kentucky and Gideon ‘T, Stewart on the ticket. These gentlemen re- ceived 9,797 votes. General’ Neal Dow of Maine, who had gained fame as the author of the Maine Prohibition law, was the next presidential candidate, in 1880, with H. A. Thompson in see- ond place on the ticket. ‘They polled only 10,366 yotes. —' St. John's Hot Campaign. When the plans were belng laid for the campaign of 1884, Frances E, Wil- lard and her fellow workers of the W. ©. 'T.

Her help was wel- comed and John P. St. Joh of Kan- sas was put at the head of the cold water ticket. Already he was a nota- ble figure, for he had fought in the Civil war as Heutenant colonel of the 143d regiment of Llinois volunteers and Inter served two terms as gover- nor of Kansas. He was a Republican, but his party thought him too warm a friend of the prohibitionists and he was defeated for re-election in 1882, Accepting the Prohibition nomination, he went into the eampaign with all his vigor and delivered stirring speaches all over the country, espe- cially paying attention to New York state, where the fight between James G. Blaine and Grover Cleveland had made things very warm, St, John was out to beat the Republicans, and he succeeded, for the Prohibition vote was large enough to let Cleveland win’ New York state and, in consequence, the nation.

For muny years the women have been prominent in the prohibition movement, for the evils of intemper unce bore heavily on their sex. Ta them must be given a very large share in the credit for the success of the fight. They started it publicly on a large seale in 1878 in Ohio with a eru- sade to pray the saloons out of exist: ence. ‘This movement, inaugurated by a lt- ue band of women who held prayer meetings In saloons when permitted and on the pavements outside when not allowed to enter,.spread Ike wild: ‘tire throughout the nation and was denominated by the press a “whirlwind from the Lord.” Many saloons were swept out of existence, but it soon be came evident that prayer must be ac: “companied by action If they would pre- vent the return or the re-opening of the saloons once closed. ‘The call for organization was issued from Chautauqua, N. ¥., in August, 1874, ‘The convention was held in Cleveland, 0., November 18-20, 1874 and at that meeting there was organ- ized the Nattonal Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Delegates were present from 17 states. ‘The plan of work was presented by Frances B, Willard, and most of the thoughts embodied In the plan were later worked out in the W. ©. T. U. At this convertion Miss Willard of- fered also the famous resolution: “Re- solved, That recognizing the fact that| our cause is, and will be, combated by mighty, determined and __ relentless forces, we will, trusting in him who is the Prince of Peace, meet argument with argument, misjudgment with pa- tlence, denunciation with kindness, and all our difficulties and dangers with prayer.” Pursued Many Roads to Its Goal. From {ts very earliest years ‘the W. €. T. U, sought out a variety of ave- nues through which the children of the nation might be educated in the prin- ciples of total abstinence and the adult won for the ubsolute prohibition of the liquor traffic. Out of the juvenile work grew the Loyal Temperance Le- gion for the children, and the Young Peoples’ branch for the young men and women. Later the children were en- rolled as “Young Campaigners for Prohibition.” | Over forty departments were organ- ized, and carried on to some degree in every state and territory, and in from, ten to twenty thousand local unions. Among these were: Temperance work In Sunday schools, which, with scien tifle temperance Instruction in public Schools, brought practically all the children in the nation in touch with temperance truth; medical temper ance; mothers’ meetings; flower mis- sion and relief; equal suffrage; moral education and race betterment ; orator: cal and declamatory medal contests; Christian citizenship, and child wel fare, For, World Prohibition. The World's Woman's Ohristian ‘Temperance union was founded in 188% by Miss Willard. It is organized iv 40 nations, with a total membershir of over half a million. i In 1884 Miss Willard sent out from her home office In Evanston, Ml, ad- dressed to each government of the world, an appeal for total abstinence, purity of life, and against the man- ufacture and sale of opium, with this call for world prohibition: “We come ‘to you with the united voices of repre- sentative women of every land, be- seeching you to raise the standard of the law to that of Christian morals, to strip away the safeguards and sane tions of the state from the drink trattic York on January 28 to adopt a definite Program, It ts pointed out, however, that the federal constitution itself does not contemplate any state action on amendments except by the legislature and action by the legislature, even In states with refereadum laws, has here. tofore been deemed final.

FOOD INSPECTED BY GOVERNMENT Some of the Ways the United States Safeguards the Meat Supply. LOOK FOR INSPECTION TAG Products Containing Meat as Well as Cuts Must Pass Inspection—Many Women Now Being Used as Meat Inspectors. The up-to-date housewife is no longer ignorant or indifferent to the necessity of buying clean and wholesome food for her family. Few realize, however, to what extent the efforts of our government have been responsible for the bulk of the foods sold today being clear and untainted. With many foods, particularly meat, there formerly was no way of ascertaining whether they were free from disease and dirt. One could only trust and hope as to their wholesomeness. Look for the Inspection Brand. Look for the Inspection Brand. All this has changed with meat since 1900, when the meat inspection act went into effect. There is still uninspected meat on the market, but the United States government, through the department of agriculture, has made it possible for you to buy, if you choose, that which was clean and free from disease and decomposition, when it left the packing house. There is no involved method in getting this kind of meat. All that is necessary is to make sure that the blue inspection brand—"U. S. Inspd. & Psd"—is stamped on the carcass from which your cut is taken. This federal inspection, under the bureau of animal industry, is carried on only in packing houses which have an interstate or foreign trade. Some states and municipalities also require meat inspection in their packing houses. The brand which is shown in the illustration is a guarantee that the meat is wholesome and that the carcass was handled in a cleanly manner. In the case of meat products the inspection legend on the label insures that no harmful dyes, preservatives, chemicals or deleterious substances were used—all points of much interest to the housewife. As there is no practical method of microscopic inspection which is even approximately effective for the detection of trichinae, it is not safe to eat pork which has not been cooked well, and so the government advises that all pork should be well cooked, otherwise it may cause disease known as trichinosis. Few in this country eat it in an uncooked form, but for the pork products which may be eaten uncooked by consumers who are ignorant or careless of the dangers of the raw product, the government requires official establishments to subject all such pork products to processes which destroy the trichinae. The canned meats put out by the packing companies having an interstate or foreign trade are also in- spected, and if Mrs. Housewife will take the time to read the labels on those inspected cans, she will find it well worth her her. Printed on them are just what the product is and the exact weight. In the instance of fat, if the price per pound has been ascertained beforehand, she can tell by the label whether she has bought and paid for a full two pounds, or whether the can lacks a few ounces. The label tells the story. Make Over Old Clothes. Thrift is the watchword of the nation this year, and one of the most practical ways in which this campaign is being forwarded is work for the conservation of clothes being done by home demonstration agents of the United States department of agriculture. Economical persons always have made over material which had wear left in it, but many who could hardly afford it have bought new garments in the past because of their lack of knowledge of how to remodel old ones. Home demonstration agents of the department of agriculture and the state agricultural colleges do not intend that this shall be the excuse with any in their districts who have old material which is worth remodeling. At Lincoln, Neb., the mayor donated space in the city hall for the work in remodeling clothes. This room is under the supervision of the home demonstration agent and her assistants. When their work takes them elsewhere, it is in charge of trained volunteers. Posters advertising this work are being used extensively. Long tables made from boards and sawhorses are used to spread the garments on. Good patterns and some attractive made-over garments to serve as models are at hand, and advice is given on how to put to new uses any garments that are brought in. The work is proving both useful and popular. New and Tasty Sausage. Iver eat potato and eat sauce. If you haven't there is a treat in store for you and at the same time you will be helping conserve the meat supply. The recipe for this delicious dish is one vouched for by the department of agriculture. It follows: 2 cupfuls mashed ½ teaspoonful peep potatoes ½ pound nuts of any New grains cayenne Peanut celery seed 1 egg well beaten ½ cupful milk (aproximately) 1½ teaspoonfuls salt ½ pound salt pork To the mashed potatoes add enough milk to bind them. Put nuts in boiling water to loosen skins, remove skins and put through meat grinder. Mix nuts and potatoes thoroughly and season well. Add well-beaten egg to potato mixture. Form into sausages, flour them well, put into gressed pan, and put a small piece of salt pork on top of each sausage. Bake in a fairly hot oven until brown (about 45 minutes). Serve with tomato sauce. Protein for One Day. A family consisting of father and mother, both doing moderately active muscular work, and three young children, need at least three quarts of milk a day and not less than one pound of meat or other complete protein foods, weighing as they come from the market, or their equivalent in more milk. The extra milk may be whole or skim or buttermilk. OVER THOUSAND BILLS TIME CUT FOR INTRODUCTION SMALL EFFECT. Among Measures Presented Are Many Important to Development. Denver.—In the last Legislature a few more than 1,000 bills were introduced in thirty days. This year, with only a fifteen-day period, legislators had hoped to be spared the task of considering a like number, but the total came within a few bills of those in the last Legislature. Many of the measures introduced in the night session included the administration measures of Republicans who were inducted into office and who had but one day in which to present their issues. The measures included a $20,000,000 program for good roads, soldiers settlement relief bills, the re-establishment of a state survey committee, a blue sky law, a budget system of expenditures, free medical aid for soldiers injured in war, and many other bills touching upon important phases of reconstruction work. The eradication of tuberculosis among cattle in Colorado is the aim of a bill introduced in the Legislature. The bill has the support of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry. The bill proposes to give to owners of herds absolutely free from the disease certificates permitting them to ship cattle to other states without further testing. It is hoped the benefits allowed to owners of accredited herds will induce all owners to take steps to stamp out the disease among their cattle. A yearly appropriation of $15,000 is provided in the bill. An inspector is to be appointed to give all his time to the study of the problem and the eradication of the disease among the animals. There are several measures pending in the General Assembly which are held to be constructive in character and are backed by financial, industrial, economic and moral forces to the limit. These are: The $20,000,000 bond bill for the construction of public highways by which the state will be authorized to float a fifty-year bond issue, $4\frac{1}{2}$ per cent interest, to construct a network of standard roads throughout Colorado utilizing the labor of thousands of men who would be otherwise unemployed. The bill to enable the state to take over and operate the Meffat line and construct a connection with the Denver & Rio Grande at Dotsero and to drill a tunnel through James Peak. The "blue sky" law aimed at the development of Colorado's resources along legitimate lines by the elimination of the wild-catter. The elimination of boards, commissions, bureaus which are a useless expense to the state; the consolidation of other boards, departments, bureaus in one board of control which would centralize authority and responsibility. The abolition of the Public Utilities Commission. Social legislation, including a public health measure; the establishment of a psychopathic hospital; extension of the jurisdiction of the juvenile court. Providing for a geological survey as a necessary preliminary to booming the metalliferous mining industry. With this measure may be grouped measures to enable the state to make effective bids for desirable immigration and the development of its present non-taxable, nonproductive agricultural and mineral wealth. The so-called teachers' tenure bill, providing for a three-year probation period for teachers in Colorado, is again up for legislative consideration. This bill passed both houses of the Legislature during the last session, but was vetoed by Governor Gunter. Senator Napier is the sponsor of a bill which provides that moneys paid into the State Treasury from inheritance tax receipts, aside from what is required in the work of collecting those revenues, shall be placed in the state highway fund. This bill is one of three endorsed by the Colorado Joint Committee on Good Roads Legislation. Senate Bill No. 216, by Senator Hattenbach, aims to create an education loan fund for soldiers in Colorado. Another bill by the same senator seeks to provide an appropriation for the continuation and development of the boys' working reserve in Colorado, which won honors for effective work in food production and conservation last year. A bill by Senator Lines would transfer to the State Industrial Commission the duties and powers heretofore exercised by the commissioner and deputy commissioner of labor, the steam boiler inspector, the state coal mine inspector, the board of examiners of coal mine inspectors, the bureau of labor statistics, factory inspectors and the several deputies, assistants and employs of those offices. Other bills with which members of the upper house are endeavoring to acquaint themselves before being asked to vote upon them have to do with such subjects as the practice of optometry; the weeding out of defunct corporations; the registration of marriages as vital statistics; the prohibition of trusts within the state; the collection of historical material in counties; the establishment of a foo' and drug commissioner; the creation of a fund for the benefit of the metal mining industry; the levy of certain taxes without the consent of the tax commission; and the enlargement of the jurisdiction of public notaries. For thy sake The woven arches of her forests breathe Perpetual anthems, and the blue skies smile Between, to heal thee with their infinite hope. SEASONABLE DISHES. Carrots are so commonly ignored and are such a good, wholesome vegetable that we should give them more attention and serve them at least once a week on our tables. 2023 Flemish Carrots —Cut the carrots in thin, narrow strips, using a vegetable cutter so that they will be of uniform thickness. Letting them stand, if at all wilted, in cold water for a time will make them crisp and fresh. For a pint of carrots melt a table-spoonful of butter or substitute in a saucepan, add one-fourth of a cup of chopped onion and half a teaspoonful of sugar. Cover and let cook very slowly, using cure not to scorch them; when the onion is yellow add one cupful of beef broth and simmer until the onion is tender, then the cooked carrots; sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve at once. Maple Rice Pudding.—Boil one fourth of a cupful of rice until soft; scald two cupfuls of milk in a double boiler; stir a tablespoonful and a half of cornstarch in half a cupful of maple sirup and stir into the hot milk; when the mixture thickens, cover and let cook 15 minutes; add the rice well dried, with the grains distinct, and beat in the yolks of the two eggs, beaten light. Turn into a baking dish. Beat the whites of two eggs very light, then beat in slowly one-fourth of a cupful of maple sirup and spread over the pudding; let it cook about 12 minutes in a moderate oven. Maple Sirup Frosting—Put two thirds of a cupful of maple sirup and the white of an egg into a double boiler. When the water is rapidly boiling in the lower part set in the sirup and egg; beat and cook, stirring continuously for eight minutes. Remove from the water and beat until cool enough to spread. Corn sirup may be used instead of maple sirup, adding chopped figs or dates and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Honey may also be used as above, using one tablespoonful less of honey. But let's not judge them, because-well because. GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE. It will be years, and perhaps longer, before we will feel the freedom of the old days in regard to foods of various kinds We have learned to sacrifice much that we thought indispensable but which has proven a blessing in results, as we feel better, work better, and will live longer because of the giving up foods of various kinds. We have learned to sacri fice much that we thought indispensable but which has proven a blessing in results, as we feel better, work better, and will live longer because of the giving up the "overeating habit." Plain foods well served and not too great a variety at any meal, is the order of the day. Chili Con Carne.—This dish may be made with green beans, dried or canned. Canned kidney beans are especially good. Take a pint of beans without the liquid. Cut one pound of round steak in strips an inch long and one-fourth inch wide. Let brown in a frying pan. Skim out the meat, add to the fat two fair-sized onions cut fine and cooked until yellow. Add a can of tomatoes and heat to the boiling point; add the beans, a teaspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of paprika and pour over the meat. Simmer gently in an earthen dish or casserole. Simmer gently three hours. Twenty minutes before serving, add one-half a green pepper cut in shreds and more salt and pepper if needed. Serve in a dish with a border of boiled rice or of mashed potato. Poultry With Vegetables.—Dredge a fowl with rye or out flour, put four tablespoonfuls of fat in a roaster, set in the fowl, cover and cook, turning often to see that it browns evenly. When well browned add a cupful of boiling water and six parboiled onions; cover and cook, adding more water if needed. Turn the chicken several times and when it is nearly tender add a cauliflower, broken in flowerets, and two or three carrots cut in cubes. Cook until the vegetables are tender. Serve the fowl in the center of a platter with the vegetables around it. Make a gravy from the broth in the pan. Cider Apple Sauce.—Cook quartered sweet apples in thick boiled cider until tender. The addition of sugar will not be necessary if the apples are very sweet. Fruit Apples.—Wash, dry, stone and put through the meat chopper two cupfuls of dates, add one cupful of peanut butter, one teaspoonful of salt, candied orange and lemon peel. Mix and form into small balls, roll in sugar and place a clove in the blossom end, and for the stem insert a small piece of candied peel. Nerelie Maxwell RUSSIAN ANARCHIST MINISTER OF WAR AND MARINE IS PRISONER. SHELLING AMERICANS CLAIM MADE THAT RED ARMY IS ROUTED IN NORTH Western Newpaper Union News Service. Basle, Switzerland, Jan. 24.—Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevist minister of war and marine, did not escape from Narva after the defeat of the Bolshevists by the Esthonians, but was taken prisoner, according to dispatches received here from Libau. Advices from the same source state that, owing to the intervention of Finnish troops in Northern Esthonia and Livonia, the country has been completely cleared of Bolshevist forces. Archangel, Jan. 24.—The Bolsheviki are continuing their shelling of the American positions at Ust Padenga, thirty miles south of Shenkursk, and the American artillery is replying to the enemy fire. Peasants say that the Bolsheviki suffered 500 casualties in the infantry attack on January 19, leaving many wounded, who froze to death in the forest. The American casualties in the fight were less than fifty all told. Copenhagen.—The Bolshevik forces are evacuating Petrograd and removing all stores, according to a dispatch to the Berlinische Tidende from Helsingforns. The dispatch adds that Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik minister of war, is transferring his headquarters to Niznii-Novgorod and that the anti-Bolshevik movement is growing daily. Large Red Cross Sale Denver.—The auction of the Red Cross herd of 1,030 heifers in the stockyards attracted great attention. On the platform with Colonel Gross were George Oxley, secretary of the Rocky Mountain division of the Red Cross; several women in Red Cross costume, and two members of the women's motor corps. The sale brought $43,843 for the cause of mercy for which the Red Cross stands sponsor. At the auction of the Red Cross herd of heifers, John A. Cook of Sterling, Colo, paid $110 a head for a carload of feeder heifers. The heifers were donated by the stockmen of Colorado and Wyoming. El Paso county led the contribution with 121 animals, while Logan county donated fewer but choicer steers, thereby making the Red Cross richer by $2,100. There were, in addition to the herd, fifteen single heifers, which were sold for record prices. Mischief B., donated by C. L. Martin of Laveta, was sold to Carl Miller of Bellview, Kan., for $550. Exports Dropping. Washington.—America's exports during the year 1918 amounted to $6,150,000,000 or $83,000,000 below the total for the preceding year and more than double the value of imports. The imports' total was $3,031,000,000 compared with $2,952,000,000 in 1917. During December, the first full month after the signing of the armistice, exports reached a total of $566,000,000, an increase over the $522,000,000 recorded for November, although not up to the high mark of $600,000,000 for December, 1917. Imports for December were low, being $211,000,000, against $251,000,000 for November. Aunt of President Dead. Denver.—Mrs. Helen Sill Woodrow, an aunt of President Wilson, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Harriet Woodrow Welles, 1345 Franklin street, in Denver. Mrs. Woodrow had been ill several weeks. Death was caused by stomach trouble. Tacoma Nearly Isolated. Tacoma, Wash.—Floods and slides had practically isolated Tacoma by railroad after twenty-four hours of the heaviest rain in the history of the city. In twenty-four hours 3.09 inches of rain fell. High water and jamming logs at Tacoma's water supply have threatened the city with a water famine. All rail service between Portland and Tacoma was cut off by twelve slides. Passengers on an interurban train were reported stalled by one of the slides. Rescuing parties sent by automobile to bring in the marooned passengers were themselves turned back upon discovering that the Pacific highway and other roads were buried under slides and water. Villa Makes Raid. Juarez, Mexico—Francisco Villa led a band of 150 followers into Santa Eulalia, 165 miles southeast of Chihuahua City, and killed four soldiers of the small federal garrison, hanged a civilian, detained the Americans connected with the American-owned mines in the Santa Eulalia district and looted the stores and houses. The Americans were released by Villa before he rode out of the town and they reached Chihuahua City safely. Bolshevism Spreading. Washington.—Bolshevism is spreading rapidly in the United States, Archibald Stevenson of New York, representing the military intelligence service, told the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee investigating German propaganda. The Bolsheviki have established soviets in nearly every large industrial center in the country, he testified. They have been organized to such a degree that they constitute "the greatest menace to the country today." Sales'Daily at 2 p.m. Office Furniture a Specialty.

R. L. Norman A Pretty and Dependable School Brocks A In this sport suit for wear under skies that shine and in winds that are balmy, we are at liberty to observe, as long as we like, a special kind of apparel. Outdoors and leisure are written in every line of the coat and skirt. The summery, brimmed hat pre-supposes sunshine, bright enough to require softening. It is for those who follow the summer or go to meet the spring along our southern coasts. One can imagine this suit in beige and oyster white, or in green and white or in other colors with white. Both the skirt and the coat show how adaptable to needs of the tourist the looms of the silk weavers have become. The skirt is of a heavy, creep silk, a sort of exaggerated crepe weave that seems especially made for the handsomest of sport clothes, and whatever the color of the coat, the skirt is in white. There are a good many tones of white, although we think of it as the absence of all color. Pretty and Depend Serge and gingham are as dependable for the school girl as bread and butter, and bear the same relation to her wardrobe that her daily bread does to her diet. Hence they are presented each year with whatever is new in styles, sandwiched in with them, to add zest to these old, reliable and well-loved materials. There are many new models in spring dresses for flappers and smaller girls, most of them made of washable fabrics and cut in one-piece effects without a waist line. But an exception to this rule appears in the flapper dress pictured, which has a skirt set onto a skeleton waist, both made of serge. The skeleton is merely a belt with suspenders attached, made of plain folds of serge. The belt fastens at the sides with bone buttons, for serge and bone are inseparable. The simple blouse has two fairly wide plaits laid in the shoulder at each side. It almost goes without saying that the neck is round and finished with a plaited frill, for this is The tint appearing in this particular case is a gray—a cold oyster-shell white that is very elegant. It seems there is simply no color that can be chosen for the coat that will not combine well with this white. A row of big mother-of-pearl buttons, set up the front of this plain skirt, are square instead of round. The silk chosen for the coat is similar in texture to the skirt, but the weave in it is varied to form a checker-board pattern. It is a straight affair with a bit of flare at the back and a belt of the silk that slips through slashes at the side. It extends across the front and curves upward at the center in a pretty but eccentric line. It fastens with one of the square buttons used in the skirt. The faring, turned-back cuffs are faced with white silk like that in the skirt, and so are the big patch pockets that turn down and fasten with a button. The wide turnover collar utilizes a silk facing to bring becoming white next the face. able School Frocks the most approved of all neck arrangements for the present. These frills are bordered, in the blouse pictured, with a plain gingham of a darker shade than appears in the plaid of the blouse. The same frills finish the sleeves. This same model is made with a wash silk or tafeta silk blouse in gingham patterns. These were introduced last spring, the plaids and check giving a utility suggestion which brought silk into the possibilities for children's wear. But fine ginghams these days are more to be desired than almost any of the less expensive silks. Cottons are very high-priced, and we may come to the time when we will have to turn to silk to reduce the high cost of living.
