COLORED YOUNG ICA, HEED THIS A RINGING APPEAL BY CO YOUTH UPON WHOSE SH SIBILITIES FOR THE COUNTRY COLORED young men of America, you fine fellows upon whose shoulders shall fall and even now is falling the hope of race and country, I salute you and give you greetings: Frederick Douglass., Bruce N. Wright Cuney, Booker T. Washington, DuBois and hosts of others have proved power of Negro political leadership and organization. Let no man inoculate you with the lie that these things are not true and that there is an inherent inferiority in any racial group in America—white or black or yellow. Dr. Crummel, Bishops Allen, Payne, Grant, Turner, Arnett and hosts of others have proved the same for church leadership of the Negro. I call upon each young college and high school man to wake up Can you sit supine and indifferent while the foundations of your own future, that of your unborn children as well as that of the country we love so well are being undermined by propaganda against your capacity for leadership of your own people. Toussaint Louverture, Crispus Attucks, Maceo, officers and non-commissioned officers of the Civil, Spanish-American and world wars have proved the capacity of the Negro for military leadership. Let no man deceive you to the canary. Untruths are being circulated in the press to the end that you may be impressed with ideas of you innate inferiority and that as result of the acceptance of the idea by the common Negro man, our race shall be kept bound down as a lower caste in our own country. Not all of the white people, not even a majority are in accord with this insidious and persistent plotting. By patience, by acts of love and courtesy, by serious purpose and endeavor to show the salutary effects of higher education upon the Negro group, let every Negro American boy show his manhood, his virile determination to measure up to all that is highest and best in American life, so that we may keep the friendship of this friendly majority. Let us study the things that are in accord with the genius of our race that we may add these as cultural gifts to our country. Let us study the history of our own race not only in the United States, but in the West Indies, South America, Asia and Africa. Ah, Africa! land filled with glorious history of that proud race that gave civilization to the white race; land if you knew its heroes and achievements you would thank God for every drop of black blood within you! And now to the crux of this matter: I adjure you by everything you hold sacred; God, honor, duty, country, that you take advantage of the universal military training and the reserve officers' training corps units now being organized in your high schools, colleges and universities: State Hlat.

That you may qualify for efficient leadership of your own racial group in event of our country being called for future war. 2nd. That you may not sink to an inferior caste in the country of your birth, having the stigma of being incapable of leading because of lack of preparation, and because you indifferently and selfishly threw away the golden opportunity for training for scientific leadership which is now being offered by the general government. 3rd. Because it is right, patriotic, and American that each social group in America should emanate all that is good and progressive in any other group. Do this and we fulfill our country's destiny and measure up to our ideals of what the flag stands for. 4th.

Let us daily strive by acting up to the highest and best within us to make democracy a reality and a success in our national life. This can only be done by daily endeavor in which the golden rule measures our conduct. Not acting so, we but cool the love of our friends and heat the hate of our enemies and stop the wheels of progress of our race and country.

To the Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. My dear Sir: On the occasion of the National Conference which will take action regarding the subject of lynching, which is to be held in your city on the 15th inst., I desire to express my opinion that the people of America generally are opposed to such scenes as have been frequently enacted in various parts of the United States in dealing with alleged colored offenders. In rigid administration of law and in respect of the processes of the courts, lies the security and safety of our liberty, and any action that this conference may take looking to the prevention of lynching, will be a distinct service to the country. WILL INVESTIGATE TREATMENT OF COLORED OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY. Washington, D. C., April.—The subject of the treatment of the Negro officers and men in the army is receiving the attention of the War Department, through Special Assistant Emmet J. Scott and others. Complaints are pouring in from many sources and the men in every section are saying things that sound very unpleasant in the light of the cause for which the men fought. It is an open fact that all the complaints are not confined to Negro soldiers. White Northern soldiers both in America and France are stating that they received very unfair, and in some cases brutal treatment from Southern white officers. That there were some white officers who were inclined to look at the service of the American Negroes in the fair and just light to which the situation is entitled, hundreds of them favored every plan of segregation and discrimination known to the calendar, and were it not for the saving influence of General Pershing and a few others to whom the injustices finally found their way, there would be much more unfairness to record. In the matter of promotion, the Negro officers have suffered most unfortunately. As a matter of fact, the majority of them were summarily relieved from the commands of the companies to which they were attached when going over to France, white officers were put in their places. All sorts of stories are being told about the various kinds of "tests" to which Negro officers were put in order to prove their efficiency and if the least flaw could be found, they were relieved. It is stated by some men that where regiments were officered by Negro men, organized propaganda was resorted to by groups of white in order to stir up feeling between officers and men. The true state of affairs is gradually coming to light, and it is believed that some of those responsible for the treatment will be called to an accounting. April 12th, 1919. Yours truly, O. H. SHOUP, Governor of Colorado NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LYNCHING. ing, accompanied too often with inhuman cruelty, and the inability on unwillingness of the public authorities to punish the persons who are guilty of this crime, threaten very seriously the future peace of the nation. Not only is lynching a denial of the right secured by law to every man of a fair trial before an established court in case he is charged with crime, not only does it brutalize the communities which suffer it by breeding a spirit of lawlessness and cruelty in the young people who see barbarities unpunished and uncondemned, not only does it terrorize important bodies of our citizens, but it inevitably leads the people whose rights are thus trampled upon to leave the regions where their lives, their families and their property are in danger, and move to others where they can find peace and protection, thus disturbing the labor situation all over the country. It also blots our fair fame as a nation, for we cannot claim to be civilized until our laws are respected and enforced and our citizens secured against the hideous cruelties of which we are constantly furnishing fresh examples. It is time that we should wake to the need of action, and that public opinion, irresistible when aroused, should be enlisted against this barbarism in our midst. To this end we invite our fellow citizens to attend or send delegates to a convention which will be held in New York City on the 5th and 6th of May, 1919, in order to take concerted action against lynching and lawlessness wherever found, and to consider what measures should be adopted to abate them. It is hoped that the whole country will be represented and that the action taken may be backed by a powerful public opinion of law-abiding men and women. FITZGERAL AND McGUINN WIN IN BALTIMORE.

Rochester, N. Y.-Local 543 of the Chaufeurs' Union has decided to admit colored men to membership. Charles M. Van Buren, Jr., led the fight demanding just recognition for colored chaufeurs. The motion to admit Negroes to the union was passed after a heated argument.

Albert King, the plaintiff's husband, was a chauffeur in the Mott family. In her complaint Mrs. King alleges that Mrs. Mott wrote her husband as follows: "My dearest boy! My heart is with you every minute of the time. I must tell you that I am sad and very lonely." The plaintiff adds, "on information and belief," that Mrs. Mott called the chauffeur by affectionate names from 1913 to 1916, and wrote to him on various occasions, when she was away from home of how much she missed him. Mrs. King set forth that she called on Mrs. Mott and asked her why she interfered with her domestic affairs. Then, it is alleged, Mrs. Mott replied that "King was a good boy, too nice for the plaintiff, and defendant did not want her around." After King entered the Mott employ NO.26.

ATTEMPT TO FORCE GIRLS INTO DOMESTIC SERVICE Richmond Women Organize to Secure Colored Girls for Housework—It is Alleged That Efforts Will Be Made to Compel Their Withdrawal From Other Jobs. Richmond, Va., April 10.—A number of wealthy white women have formed an organization, and state as the object the securing of colored girls as domestics. They claim that since the beginning of the war, colored girls have been given positions in other places than households, and the matter will be taken up with the Retail Merchants' Association, urging that the colored girls be released from their present jobs, have them filled with whites, and make it necessary for the colored girls to again take up domestic service. The colored girls are protesting, not because they claim there is anything disgraceful connected with housework, but because they feel that they should be permitted to retain their present advantages, and have the right to choose for themselves, as others, where they shall work. OFFICIAL ACTION TAKEN AT 225TH ANNUAL SESSION OF QUAKERS AGAINST MOB LAW Philadelphia, Pa.—An official stand condemning the practice of lynching was taken at the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of Friends at their 225th annual session at the old meeting house, Fourth and Arch streets. The subject was introduced by Esther Morton Smith, a Quaker, in the women's meeting. Sarah W. Elkinton of Moylan appeared in the men's meeting the same afternoon and announced that Miss Smith "has a concern to talk to the men's meeting about lynching, which is too prevalent and disgraceful; to the end that we go on record and take a positive stand together against it. Miss Smith, by an unanimous vote, was granted permission to talk on this subject. She declared lynching a great national crime and that all deeply deplore the nation's shame and disgrace. She said there are 3,000 recorded cases of lynching of the Negro in this country, and added the time had come when more should be done than deplore this practice. Miss Smith left such an impression on those present that a committee was immediately appointed to name several men to co-operate with the women in steps to abolish lynching. The members of this joint committee will attend the National Conference on Lynching which will be held in New York City on April 15.

Ballinger was about as near a human wreck when the surgeons began on him as can be imagined, and now he is able to resume his old occupation of automobile mechanic. The first cut in railroad fare since the war tax was added to the price of railroad tickets has been announced in a reduction of 3 cents in the price of tickets from Walker to Longmont. This takes off the war tax, and it is said that the Great Western road is going to announce more reductions in a short time. The body of Albert Sanderson, wealthy farmer and stockgrower of Pine valley, near Durango, was found at his home in a pool of blood, the entire right side of his face blown away and a shotgun lying beside him.

ONE month more and the electors of Denver will exercise the franchise in selecting a mayor, nine councilmen, and two election commissioners, to carry on the affairs of the city. The preferential voting system will be used. It is generally said that the politicians love the preferential system, as a number of second-choice votes may secure a winning position where only a few first-choice votes may be gotten. Many candidates for office figure that there being a first, second and third choice vote, they can line up a majority on two choices, forming a combination that cannot be easily defeated. In former elections voters took advantage of the system, possibly giving it a fair trial as a novelty, voting as many times as there were candidates, but recently they are discovering that when they vote more than once, that is, dividing their choice among different candidates, they defeat their own choice in the end. In this election there is no party tie or political affiliation by which we are bound, and as we have said before, a thorough examination of the candidates should be made, and on our being satisfied as to their fitness to run our city government we should give them our confidence, being certain of the candidates' standing and make a selection creditable to us. The COLORADO STATESMAN advises in the election, Tuesday, May 20, that voters go to the polls determined on giving candidates their whole choice; in other words, "stand pat," not dividing the choice among the several candidates, but select your names on the ballot for the number of officers and give them your first, second and third choice. *This, we think, is about the best way to vote, as with a decision and a definite aim electors will not defeat their purpose or intent in and by themselves. THE CONSUMER AND THE PRODUCER. ONE would argue that this topic should be reversed, "Producer and Consumer, bue we use it this way for the purpose of a little emphasis. Have our people as a whole ever thought how we would progress and prosper, if in our great consumption we would think of production? In perusing the papers and journals of our press in the Southland, THE COLORADO STATESMAN notes with pleasure the statistical accounts of the producer, and our hearts go out with pride over the success that is being achieved by our people, and for this reason we feel it our bounden duty to offer a few suggestive ideas in this issue. The industrial situation has been handled again and again, and is still being advocated. This paper indorses industrial actions to their fullness, and would be more than pleased to see a larger proportion of our people engaged therein; but unfortunately for us, the tendency of "getting by" is establishing itself in an extraordinary form at present. In Colorado, inducements are offered us to acquire lands for farming, etc., within easy reach of the City of Denver, and if we would lay hold of the opportunity now that presents itself in a comparatively short time we would join the ranks of the producers. Note carefully our consumption of foodstuffs, and it must be conceded that if some of us would resolve to produce as well as consume, the burden of living that now hangs over us would be very much alleviated. It is not too late to start, and all people who are amenable to reason will be guided by suggestions that tend to their uplift. RAISING THE STANDARD. THE general standard of the American Negro is lower that it should be because it is lower that it need be. It is lower than it need be because the Negro entertains a misconception of the fundamental sources of success and happiness. The Negro is too impatient of solid racial effort, and endeavors to leap over the hard, tedious, formative period of permanent racial development and to attain the higher and easier stations of life at a singe bound. Racial advancement, of course, rests upon the effort of the individual, but individual effort is better shaped to the general needs of the people than to the selfish aims and desires of the individual alone. By that we mean that an individual Negro may so shape his course as to win personal success without bringing much credit to his race, and that is just what many Negroes' are doing. The ever-present example of the white man, which should be highly beneficial, is often injurious, because we are inclined to skip over that part of it which represents hardship and patient sacrifice, to attain the higher forms of happiness which he has slowly earned. We may sometimes shrewdly take advantage of the white man's conditions and rise to the apparent level of his social or commercial prosperity, but when we do so, we leave our race behind. When we jump from the ox cart to the automobile we leave the race in the ox cart. This is thought to be within the range of legitimate personal privilege, but it usually calls for a big sacrifice of what might be, and ought to be turned into a racial asset. The incidentally successful Negro seldom turns his success to the benefit of his race, but selfishly endeavors to get away from his own. A glance over the lists of our rich individuals will reveal the truth of this assertion in a majority of cases, especially in the North, and too often in the South. The trouble lies in the fact that we do not shape our energies so as to gain success and wealth out of our own conditions, but we believe those conditions too slow and barren, rely upon some relation or deal in which the white man is concerned. Hence, when we succeed, we think we owe our race nothing, and usually live accordingly. The short-sighted aversion of our educated and intelligent men and women to devoting themselves to pure and absolute racial enterprise in their fundamental and necessary forms of development, is at the bottom of all this. Great individual successes and a corresponding and inseparable degree of racial improvements are thereby lost. We Must Feed Germany, So That She May Pay for the Evil She Has Done By ROBERT LANSING, Secretary of State Germany has suffered bitterly, is suffering bitterly. She has paid a fearful penalty for the crime of plunging the world into four years of blood and fire. Today starvation and want are the portions of the German people. Violence and murder stalk through the streets of their great cities. Political institutions industrial enterprise and the very structure of society are tottering. It is the price of their own evildoing the just retribution of their crimes. HEL Political chaos and outlawry have supplanted the highly organized government of imperial Germany Social order is breaking down under the difficulties of defeat and the hopelessness of the future. Like the anarchy which for years made an inferno of Russia, the fires of terrorism are ablaze in the states of Germany. It is no time to allow sentiments of vengeance and hatred to stand in the way of checking this conflagration, which will soon be at the German borders and threatening other lands. To make Germany capable of resisting anarchy and the hideous despotism of the red terror Germany must be allowed to purchase food, and to earn that food industrial conditions must be restored by a treaty of peace. It is not out of pity for the German people that this must be done, and done without delay, but because we, the victors in this war, will be the chief sufferers if it is not done. You may demand reparation as much as you please, but unless the German people are furnished materials for their industries and commercial opportunities to sell the products of labor in the foreign markets, and unless the laborers have food Germany can never pay, even in part, for the evil she has done. Furthermore, if the present state of chaos continues and the political power continues to grow weaker, there will be no responsible German government with which to make peace; there will be no government strong enough to carry out the conditions of the treaty of peace. I say to you men of France and men of America, and to you men of the allied powers that there is no time to be lost if we are to save the world from the despotism of anarchy, even as we have saved it from the despotism of autocracy. We must make peace without delay, and ships laden with food must enter the harbors of Germany. We have reached a crisis in the affairs of the world. By F. B. SMITH, Interchurch World Movement Political parties of the United States can be backed into the ocean tomorrow by churches united on any moral issue. No league or society of nations formed politically can stand unless supported by a league of churches and a unity of moral ideals. Civilization has at hand in unified religious bodies the most powerful machine for moral and social advancement conceived in any age. Bringing the inter-church movement down to plain facts and figures, it corresponds in the moral and religious field to the co-ordination of commercial effort and achievement accomplished by the National Association of Commerce. We do not base our efforts on doctrinal or organic unity but on co-ordinate Christian effort. The movement leaves every man free to follow the doctrines and spiritual ambitions of his own creed or church. Any society of nations, the proposed league of nations, must crumble unless the world is leavened with a unity of moral ideas. These moral and social ideals can't be put over by unrelated denominations. We desire unity in the matter of economic justice and on all moral issues and do not concern ourselves with the splitting of hairs or theological discussion. Tomorrow 174,000 preachers will go to work, all driving at the same thing—the advancement of the world's moral welfare. If this army of spiritual leaders were united in a battle for some great issue, nothing in the world could stand against the drive. Defeat Reveals the True Character of the German Nation and People Defeat Reveals the True Character of the German Nation and People By J. E. LOUGH, Professor of Psychology From the viewpoint of a psychologist the German mind is showing the same imperfections in defeat which it exhibited so conspicuously while the war was in active progress. The most striking trait of this character is a lack of moral fiber, which throughout history all nations, like all persons, have looked up to as a supreme attribute. The Germans have shown themselves to be merely brutal thugs. The flight of the kaiser is an indication of their type of mind. This man runs away; he has not the fiber to stand and share in the fate of his people, which he brought about by his own acts. Yet in Germany no one appears to have uttered one word in criticism of the kaiser's course. The surrender of the German fleet, from the Teutonic viewpoint, war the right thing. They would rather be live cowards than dead heroes. It seems inconsistent that this appalling cowardice should be exhibited by the same people who fought their way into Belgium, France, Serbia, Russia and Roumania. But it is a matter of everyday observation that any cowardly person will maintain what he may term his courage as long as he is winning. The pretense of a defensive war which the Germans have set up affords another indication of this same mental characteristic. If we grant that the masses of their people believe that the war was defensive we are confronted by the fact that the nation objectly surrendered before a foot of its territory had been conquered. The lack of Germany's realization of the wrongs which she has done leaves the world sick at heart. Yet we look in vain for the faintest expression of regret from the Germans for their atrocities. The simple reason for this lack is that they do not realize they have done anything wrong. Before the war the Germans had pretty well concealed their true national character by making a display of several admirable qualities. The truth has at last burst upon us and there is no mistaking it. The Official Grand Easter Ball April 21, 1919 Easter Monday Night GIVEN BY Columbine Dancing Academy Grand Decorations!

PRIVATE WILLIAM FROST, 3RD DEPOT CO., U. S. A. P. O. 701, A. E. F. Generous Brother Offers Sister Surprise From France. When Mrs. Bessie Lee, sister of Private William Frost of the American Expeditionary Forces in France, sat down with five others to a sumptuous luncheon at the Nile Cafe, 2727 Welton street, on Friday of last week, she was at a loss to know who could have been the generous host, until informed about her brother in far away battle-scarred France, who had not forgotten the home ties and the kind relationship of his sister, who was anxious regarding his safety. Private Frost, thinking of this pleasant surprise, sent a check to Mrs. Mme Clouston, proprietress of the Nile Cafe, whose advertisement he saw in a Denver weekly in France, to provide a luncheon for his sister, her husband and four others, and at about 3 p. m. on the day aforementioned the following persons sat down to this function that will long be remembered. Mr. and Mrs. Forest Davis, 2151 Humboldt street; Mr. and Mrs. Carl Boyd, Fort Collins, Colorado; Mr. and Mrs. Ira Lee, 607 Twenty-eighth street. The menu consisted of grapefruit, tomato bisque with crotons, broiled lobster, French fried potatoes, combination salad, salted wafers, strawberry ice cream, assorted cakes, nuts and After Dinner Mints, coffee. After enjoying this beautiful luncheon, which in every phase gave satisfaction, the party motored to various places of interest in the city, terminating their impromptu festivity at the Denham theatre. All sang the praises of Private William Frost for his very timely and agreeable surprise, and Mr. and Mrs. Lee especially were moved with very much gratitude for the remembrance from their relative, who dared to face the enemy in defense of his country. Many encomiums were passed on Mrs. Clouston as being superior in the culinary art, and Mr. Henry Smith, who gave such excellent service. The hope was expressed that Private Frost may be spared to return home and meet the happy recipients of his generosity. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Another record-breaking crowd attended the meeting last Sunday afternoon to take part in the program and to listen to the address by Corporal G. C. Woodson of Salina, Kan., who spoke on the subject "Eight Months in Hell." Corporal Woodson belonged to the 349th Field Artillery, and was just outside the ramparts of Metz at the time of the signing of the armistice. He gave a vivid description of his experiences, and declared that every time the colored soldiers were called on to take a dangerous position, they went gladly, animated by the hope that their sacrifice would in some way help to make better the condition of their people at home. The Hi-Y boys are progressing splendidly under the leadership of Mr. Burk, their Bible instructor. They spent last Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. Burk at a little social which he gave for them. The All-Employed boys seem afraid to meet the Hi-Ys in almost any contest. Mr. Perkins, a very earnest young man, has been chosen to lead them in a course, of study. The younger boys are having the very time of their lives in the different sports which have been laid out for them. A "Life Problem" course has been opened, which will meet every Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, under the leadership of Secretary Belh. It is a most splendid course, one that deals with every phase of the man's life. The course is open to all men. Beginning with next Friday evening, the 25th, and continuing for six weeks, a course of popular lectures by able and learned men will be given. The first lecture will be on "Bolshevism," showing its origin, its spirit and its program. The course will be open to the public, and will be held every Friday evening. It is hoped that a large number will take advantage of this free course. An Easter program will be rendered next Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. Appropriate music will be rendered. The address will be delivered by the Rev. Dr. Coggin of Atlanta, Ga. Dr. Coggin is one of the ablest speakers of the race, and it is hoped that all friends will attend the meeting.

DUTY NOW TO PAY OUR WAY Looking to World Leadership In Na tional Ethics and International Commerce Brings Us Face to Face With Problem. By WILLIAM C REDFIELD, Secretary of Commerce. Five years ago the United States was a debtor nation. We had financed many of our largest enterprises with the aid of European funds. The visible balance of trade was in our favor but was nearly or quite offset by such unseen items as payments for interest, for services (transportation) for the expenditures of Americans traveling abroad, etc. We were as a whole an expending rather than an investing country. The work of developing the full range of our resources was incomplete. We were far from being independent in the economic sense, but looked to the world outside our limits for many essentials, viz.: for credits, for materials and for many manufactured products which we did not ourselves produce. There were then three great competitors in the international market—Great Britain, Germany and the United States—which ranked in the order stated. The first two were intrenched all around the globe with banking facilities and transportation systems everywhere at their command. Great Britain possessed the largest merchant fleet and the greatest aggregate of liquid capital in the world. Germany based her industries on science and her world commerce on research and backed both by government aid. It speaks volumes for the competing power of American industry that against competition of this nature she was a close competitor in a common field. Conditions Reversed by War. These conditions are today reversed; the war has changed them all. Germany has for years been excluded from the world markets and has lost her good will in them. Her fleets have vanished. At home she is disorganized by defeat and civil strife. Abroad her methods have been discredited because the trail of evil is over them all. The earlier years of the world war altered the currents of thought and action so that Great Britain and her allies looked to us for credits and other essentials. First they recalled the investments made here and we repaid them a sum estimated at from $4,000,000,000 to $5,000,000,000. Then while looking to us for further loans they called upon our natural resources and our industries for vast volumes of raw and manufactured materials. Thus the balance of trade in our favor grew immensely and the ordinary offsets against it were removed. While others were fighting we accumulated wealth. We paid what we owed abroad and became in turn a nationation. When we saw that the great contest was one in which we were vitally concerned and entered the war this process was accelerated. We loaned vast sums to the nations with which we were associated so that today not only has our foreign debt to Europe disappeared, but a debt from Europe to us of eight and a half billions has taken its place. We have accumulated the greatest stock of gold in the history of the world. Now that the strife seems over the world looks to us for essential materials and equipment with which to rebuild that which war has destroyed and to resume the normal work of life. We must not only feed and supply the world, but must furnish in large part the credits from which we shall be paid. Industries which we did not have are created and operated. We are far more economically independent than ever before and have come to realize the danger of being dependent on foreign sources of supply for any essential factors of commerce. Vast Change Is Wrought. We may not, therefore, think in the present and of the future as we thought in and of the past. Ideas which seemed remote have been condensed into the facts. Relations that seemed dreams are now realities. Isolation has been changed into world leadership. We can no longer confine thought and action to the three-mile limit but have entered into the wide realm of world activity. This calls on us for action and for finance on a scale enlarged to fit the time, the facts and the duty. We cannot escape the responsibility that comes with power. It is not a talent we can bury in a napkin; our power must be used. No one urges that we use it for ill—we can only use it for good. First and foremost in the future steps lies the duty to pay our way. We have fought the fight, we have kept the faith. It remains to pay the bills. We who have given credit to others must now sustain our own. We who look normally to world leadership in national ethics and international commerce must base both upon paying promptly what we owe. The call, therefore, to finance the government is as inspiring, as vitally necessary, as basic in its demand on judgment and conscience as were the calls of those precious loans made in the stress of war. GREAT WAR TAUGHT ECONOMY Millions of Men, Women and Children Proudly Responded to Urgent Appeal to Give and Help Win. By GEORGE M. REYNOLDS, President, Continental & Commercial National Bank of Chicago. By tradition and training Americans possess, in marked degree, those qualities that fit them for the larger relationships that are bound to grow out of the sacrifices and achievements of the great war. Our mixture of citizenry and ancestry makes it very vital, in this time of looking forward to a greater America, that we should study American history, learn to revere American institutions and strive to discover and attain American ideals. These have made us great, guided our matchless progress in the past; these will lead us into a more glorious future. From the experience of the past four years, first as onlookers and later as participants, we have gained a more intimate knowledge of the outside world, a knowledge that will be of inestimable value in our foreign relations, commercially, financially and diplomatically. We have also been getting a much clearer understanding of our own responsibilities to each other. There are some specific requirements that must not be overlooked in our preparation for marching in the front rank of nations. Industry, thrift, the relationship of capital and labor to the general welfare, and financial power come within this classification. Fired by ambition born of equal opportunity that exists to a greater degree here than anywhere else, we have always been an industrious people, and when we cease to be industrious we shall begin to go backwards. Habits of industry and thrift are the two great essentials to success. Extravagance has been one of our outstanding characteristics and it has cost us much; it has robbed us of the real fruits of prodigious production, for in the seasons of abundance we have squandered that which should have been saved for the hour of adversity. War Has Taught Economy. One of the lessons taught by the was economy. The government needed all kinds of supplies, expensive munitions, and millions of men who had to be fed and clothed. It was forced to build ships on an unprecedented scale. It did not have the money with which to do all this. It appealed to the people to save their money and buy Liberty bonds and War Savings stamps, and millions of men, women and children who had never known the importance of economy and of investments became savers and bond buyers. Patriotism, as well as self-interest, prompted us to buy bonds the war was being waged. The patriotic duty to buy government bonds is no less now, for our soldiers must be cared for until demobilization is complete and they are again back in their old places on farms, in the factories and other places of employment. The promptings of self-interest are greater now, because the treaty of peace is being worked out; we are gradually returning to a normal basis, and we know that Liberty bonds will sell at or above par within a reasonable time. Development and expansion mean general prosperity and employment for everybody, but we cannot continue even normal development of our great resources and expansion of our business, as we should, without new capital, and new capital for these purposes must come from the savings of the people. Therefore we are all vitally interested in the practice of economy now, although the war is over. Capital and Labor. The relationship between capital and labor is one of the big problems, because these are the two main fundamentals of modern life. Capital is useless without labor, and labor cannot find employment in our complex civilization unless somebody risks capital in the business of farming, mining, manufacturing, construction and transportation. The banker and every other man with an unbiased view of the whole situation hopes for co-operation between these two necessary elements. Fair adjustment is needed here if anywhere. Labor should have its just reward, capital should receive such compensation as will encourage its use in industry. No country, however fortunate in other respects, can continue prosperous at home or be a great factor in international trade without a safe banking and currency system. Our Financial Resources. We hold $3,000,000,000 of gold in this country, which is one-third of the world's supply. Our government has loaned the allied governments over $8,500,000,000, and they have marketed here, privately, another $2,000,000,000 of securities. Since August, 1914, we have bought back several billion dollars' worth of American securities that were then owned abroad. During the war our excess of exports over imports have totaled about $11,000,000. The estimated national wealth of the United States is $250,000,000,000, or within $10,000,000,000 of the combined national wealth of Great Britain, France, Germany and Austria-Hungary. Their estimates were made before the outbreak of the war. Since then they have lost in resources, while we have gained, so that an estimate today would probably show that our wealth equals or exceeds the four nations named. ```markdown ``` THE KITCHEN CABINET THE COLORADO STATESMAN One simple little song we sing To brides but newly wed— "Just make the best of everything— Especially of bread."

ASTER will be celebrated in Palestine as never before this many centuries, and all the It is exactly 674 years since the Turk drove out the Christians and took possession of Jerusalem, after it had been taken by Frederick II, March 17, 1229, who crowned himself king of the Latin kingdom, in imitation of that earlier king of Jerusalem, Godfrey of Boullon (1090). Land of Pilgrimage. Palestine had been assigned to the Emperor of the East in 305 A. D., and was nominally Christian at that time, when pilgrimage to the Holy Land became almost a cult and the finding of relics became a regular pursuit in all the places identified with the life of Jesus. This was the period that might almost be termed the Christianizing of Palestine, for Christianity had developed far more vigorously at Rome and in other parts of the Roman empire than in the Holy Land itself, up to this time. Constantine had made it the state religion and Helena had found the "True Cross," so that there was a great stirring of interest throughout the land. Many fine churches were built, and Justinian erected the Golden Gate and part of a great church, now the El Aksa mosque (527-565). It was in 614 that Chosroes II, king of Persia, made his great inroad, persecuting the Christians wherever he found them, especially in what is now Armenia, and capturing Jerusalem. The Emperor Heraclius managed to regain control (629), but he had to yield before the might of the Caliph Omar (637), who erected many great structures, especially the mosque called after him, upon the great rock which had been the site of the temple of Solomon. For more than 400 years the Mohammedans held sway, until as a result of the Crusades Godfrey of Boullon took possession in 1099. The Christian powers could not, however, hold possession, for they were always fighting among themselves, and so Saladin, the mighty leader of the Moslems, gained a permanent hold over the land of Palestine and Jerusalem in 1187. It was during the next century that the Christians under the leadership of Frederick II gained possession of Palestine for the last time, until our own day. But with dissension among the Christians of that time it was not difficult for the Turks to regain control in 1244 and retain it ever since, in one form or another. Surrender of Jerusalem. The surrender of Jerusalem to the British forces last December, and the subsequent conquest of much of the rest of the land now establishes Christian control, at least for the present, and the doubt has been raised whether any Christian power, even Germany, will dare to suggest that the holy places again be turned over to the power of the Moslem, no matter what the terms of peace may be. Precisely what local changes in privileges of worship will come out of the change may not be foretold. For a long time a strange situation has prevailed in Jerusalem. The holy sepulcher, for example, with its relics of Christian treasure, has been used by Greeks, Armenians and Western Christians in alternation, the control remaining with the Turkish authorities. Naturally many disputes have arisen out of so strange a situation. This Easter Significant. When the city was captured by the British there was great local anxiety as to what might result. With the entry of General Allenby, with his staff and certain French and Italian officers, these anxieties were quickly set at rest. The Jewish population soon learned that all was to be well with them and other sects represented in the citizenship of the historic place were equally reassured. A sense of peace, liberty and security had its immediate effect and influenced profoundly the preparations for the new, unexamined Easter as well as for future worship of every sort in the troubled Holy Land. In Jerusalem as elsewhere began to appear a conviction that, no matter how long world peace might be delayed, a new spirit was abroad throughout the earth. This Easter, then, has a special significance, in view of all the centuries of struggle for holding the places consecrated to Christianity by the activity of its Savior. Polish Easter Egg Custom. POLISH EASTER EGG CUSTOM. An interesting Easter egg custom prevails in Poland. On Easter Monday every head of a house, man or woman, presents each visitor on his call with a hard-bolled egg, or, rather, the half of one. The head of the house divides the egg, gives a half to the caller, and eats with him the other part. The custom has such a hold on the people that the nobles, even when living far away from the fatherland, observe it. Many years ago Prince Czartoryski was in residence in Paris, when he held the usual reception on Easter Monday, receiving each guest at the door of his salon, and dividing the egg in traditional style with each visitor, who ate it conciently. Morning A RESURRECTION FRAGMENT MORNING — not the dawn of life's little day, so quickly shrouded by night — but the breaking of an eternal sunlight over the eternal hills. WHAT an overwhelming difference to the heart which holds the risen Christ between the passing day and the everlasting Morrow! Today heavy shadows falling of mystery and sorrow — tomorrow all gloom dispelled by the light that shines from that once marred visage. Today heaviness of disappointment or obscurity of ignorance — tomorrow, nothing between, no cloud, no time intervening, but face to face with Jesus, Jesus who came, Jesus who lived, Jesus who suffered, Jesus who died, Jesus who rose in glorious resurrection. NOW the hazed and indistinct view—then the vision of perfect sight! Now the tumult and the strife—then the rest and life eternal! Now the weeping and the sighs—then the song and the tearless eyes! Now our dear ones dying—then no more paring! Now the waters dividing—then no more sea! Now the open grave's farewell—then the resurrection greeting. Now the night winds chilling and killing—then the morning lifting and brightening! Morning on the mountains! Morning on the plains! Morning with an eternity in it! Morning—morning! OH, the transforming touch of that hour! Only intelligence irradiated by contact with the skies could give us to recognize our heaviest cross, when it comes to crown us there. We shall find our failures; they will greet us as triumphs. We shall find our bereavements; we shall meet us as reunions. We shall find our loss forgotten in eternal gain. We shall find our hidden struggles swallowed in open victory. We shall find our hidden tears-forming diadem gems. We shall find the complete fulfillment of every promise and the exceeding great reward of all our faith. OH. what a time of finding of all that is dear, and desired, and best! For it is the Resur- rection Dawn, the stone is rolled away, the gates are flung back, the boundary is crossed, the veil is torn THE MORNING HAS BROKEN! Their Easter Offering WANTS NO ARTIFICIAL PROOF Believing Christian Can Entertain No Doubt Concerning the Resurrection of the Savior. To the normal mind there can be no compromise, writes H. Lee Mills in the Houston Post. If Christ did not rise from the dend, the most gigantic fraud in the history of the world was perpetrated and every minister of the Gospel is either a conscious or a deduced "faker." If there was no resurrection, the whole missionary propaganda is foolish and a failure and evangelize and "Barnumize" become synonomous terms. Does the history of Christian missions, from the first to the twentieth century savior of fraud, or even of delusion? The command to evangelize all nations was given after the resurrection. After all the arguments have been marshaled before human reason for or against the return of Christ in the glorified body, the question of does Jesus live can be answered by the believing Christian without artificial proof. If like Paul, he knows whom he believes, doubts about the details of the event of the resurrection do not concern him. Of Pagan Origin. Some of the customs of many lands have had their origin in paganism. Pagan customs celebrating the return of spring easily gravitated to Easter. The coloring of eggs is found in both Latin and oriental countries. The egg is the emblem of the germinating life of early spring. The symbolic meaning of a new creation of mankind by Jesus risen from the dead was probably an invention of later times. In this country the day is most widely known for the elaborate services in the churches. Those who have observed strictly the rules of Lent are not alone in observing Easter as a day of feasting. The Hare and Easter. The origin of the Easter rabbit is unknown. There is a German legend to the effect that the hare was originally a bird and was changed into a quadruped by the Goddess Ostara, and in gratitude to Ostara, or Eastre, the hare exercises its original bird function to lay eggs for the goddess on her festal day. The children among the Pennsylvania Germans are told on Easter morning that this "Oshter has" laid the colored eggs that are given to them, or which are placed in nests at some convenient place for the children to find them.

DENVER'STALKINGMACHINECENTER My Fight For Lower Phone Rates And my fight for the preservation of our street car franchise, which calls for a five-cent car fare and free transfers, brings me into the fight for Mayor of Denver. First, I have always stood for fair wages for the firemen, policemen and all who labor for the city, as well as those who work in factories, mills, professions and trades of all kinds. I stand, as always, against labor when I think they are wrong, and with them when I feel they are right. I was in favor of better wages for tramway men, but against their soliciting on the cars for names to raise the car fare provided for in the franchise, and I am against putting a man in the Mayor's chair who has always been a corporation lawyer and a noted manipulator of labor trouble and a candidate of the Tramway Company, or its exponent. There are but two men in the field to select for Mayor, or at least two considered as principals in the contest—Mr. D. C. Bailey and Mr. Cass E. Herrington. I select Mr. Bailey for the office because he is nearest may kind of a man for the chair, and I ask your consideration for Mr. Bailey because you are as deeply interested in a five-cent street car fare and all matters of interest to Denver as I am. Mr. Herrington is backed up by the Post and News and Times, by Gerald Hughes, attorney for the tramway and all corporate interests, and I do not think he is the man to govern this city in the interest of all, notwithstanding he says he favors a low street car rate and the doing away with all forms of vice. We've always had beautiful platforms before election and many broken planks after. Let's all vote for the man this time—the man who has been tried—the man who has stood in the public eye for twenty years and retained the respect of all. We are not after war heroes who never shot a gun, nor are we after iron crosses, or lawyers of Ludlow fame. I sincerely hope Mr. Dewey C. Bailey may be elected.
