LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY LYNCHING RECORD FOR THIRTY YEARS VOL. XXV. THE United States has for a long time been the only advanced nation whose government has tolerated lynching, and in the last thirty years 3,224 persons have been killed by lynching mobs, according to a report just issued by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, entitled "Thirty Years of Lynching." For the thirty years' period from 1889 through 1918, the North has had 219 victims, the South 2,834, the West 156 and Alaska and other localities 15. "Georgia leads in this unholy ascendancy with 386 victims," says the report, "followed closely by Mississippi with 373 victims, Texas with 335, Louisiana with 313, Alabama with 276, Arkansas with 214, Tennessee with 196, Florida with 178 and Kentucky with 169. "Fifty colored women and eleven white women were lynched in fourteen states. Thirteen of the fourteen states in which women fell victims to mobs were southern states, Nebraska being the only state outside the South which lynched women. The North and West together have lynched twenty-one persons during the last five year's period, whereas during the same time 304 persons were lynched in the South." In speaking of President Wilson's appeal to state governors and other civil officers to prevent the "disgraceful evil" of lynching, the report says: "Despite President Wilson's earnest appeal, made under such extraordinary circumstances, lynchings continued during the remaining period of the war with unabated fury. Sixty-three Negroes; five of them women, and four white men fell victims to mob ruthlessness during 1918 and in no case was any member of the mobs convicted any court and in only two instances were trials held. In both of these instances the mob members were acquitted." Of the crimes with which the victims of lynching mobs have been charged, the report says: "It is to be remembered that the alleged offenses given are pretty loose descriptions of the crimes charged against the mob victims, where actual crime was committed. Of the whites lynched nearly 46 per cent were accused of murder; a little more than 18 per cent were accused of what have been classified as miscellaneous crimes, i. e., all crimes not otherwise classified; 17.4 per cent were said to have committed crimes against property; 8.7 per cent crimes against the person, other than rape, "attacks upon women," and murder; while 8.4 per cent were accused of rape and "attacks upon women." "Among colored victims 35.8 per cent were accused of murder; 28.4 per cent of rape and "attacks upon women" (19 per cent of rape and 9.4 per cent of "attacks upon women"); 17.8 per cent of crimes against the person other than those already mentioned and against property; 12 per cent were charged with miscellaneous crimes and in 5.6 per cent of cases no crime at all was charged. "It is apparent that lynchings of Negroes for other causes than the so-called "one crime" have for the whole period been a large majority of all lynchings and that for the past five years less than one in five of the colored victims have been accused of rape or "attacks upon women." CHARLES EVANS HUGHES TO SPEAK AT FIRST NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LYNCHING, Plans for the first National Conference on Lynching, called by 120 citizens in all parts of the country, which is to begin with a mass meeting in Carnegie Hall on the night of May 5th, were announced at the headquarters of the conference, 10 Fifth avenue, today. The mass meeting is to be addressed by Charles Evans Hughes, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association; Emett O'Neal, ex-governor of Alabama; General John H. Sherburne, commander of the colored artillery of the 92nd Division, and James Weldon Johnson, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The second day of the conference, May 6th, is to be devoted to organization of committees which will conduct a nation-wide campaign against lynching in the United States. Among the committees which it is planned to form are a committee to take legal measures against lynching, a committee to use publicity and educational methods to combat lynching, and a committee to finance the national campaign. Meetings in the morning and afternoon of May 6th are to be held at the Association of the Bar of the City of New York and in the evening at the New York Society for Ethical Culture, Central Park West and 63rd street.

Phelps Stokes, Lawson Purdy, Mrs. V. G. Simkhovitch, Rev. Charles S. Macfarland and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise. AFRICAN BLACKS KILL THREE YANKEES London, April 29.—A clash between a party of Americans and South African blacks today at Winchester, southwest of London, resulted in the death of three Americans and injuries to thirty more. The fight started when the blacks began paying attention to white girls. The Americans interfered and the blacks attacked them with clubs. British troops quelled the riot. An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Winchester said the Americans were soldiers in the American army.

SAVING THE NEGRO FOR THE SOCIALIST DEMOGRACY ORGANIZATION FOR "ADVANCE-MENT" OF COLORED PEOPLE LED BY WILSON PLUG-GERS. OFFICERED by Democrats and Socialists who are cheek by jowl with an administration dominated by southern Democratic leaders, an organization known as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People seems to be busily engaged throughout the country in saving the Negro vote for the Socialist-Democracy. The very wrongs committed against Negroes, especially in the matter of lynching, are being used by this organization to work up support for the elements which commit them. The propaganda work of this organization is being carried on in northern states and, under careful camouflage, is calculated to split the Negro vote in behalf of the Democratic-Socialist combination for which the administration stands. At Work in Ohio. Mary White Ovington, chairman of the board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a Socialist and Wilson supporter, has recently been at work in Ohio. It was recently announced that through the efforts of the Socialist-Democratic controlled association a colored women's Republican club at Columbus had become an "independent political league," the alleged grievance being the failure of the Ohio Legislature to pass an "equal rights bill." This is said to be typical of much of the work being carried on by agents of the association throughout the country. Of course it is doing nothing south of the Ohio in Democratic states, where the Negro is counted as a basis for computing Democratic seats in Congress and the electoral college, but not on election day. Agitation of this kind in the old slave states dominated by the Dixie Democracy would be considered good ground for a lynching bee. Messrs. Story and Villard, leaders of this organization to save the Negro for Democracy and Socialism, are Wilson Democrats, as is National Secretary Shillady. William English Walling and Miss Ovington are Wilson Socialists. While their political compatriots south of the Ohio use the Negro for lynching purposes and in many localities turn a shot gun on him if he approaches the polls, they work the northern side of the river with complaints that the Republicans will not make the Dixie Democracy behave. Meanwhile they blow loudly the horn of Wilsonism, which reserves all its sympathy for the colored proletariat for the export trade—Mexico, the Phillipines and other distant parts. Delegations representing the labor unions, the women's political organizations and other elements have had a hearing at the Paris Peace Conference, but delegations representing the politically disinherited American Negro have been unable to get within hailing distance of the great apostles of export democracy. How About Dixie. Just how much pleased southern --- Democrats who are sincere in their cry against "Negro domination" will be with this effort to form a Negro Socialist annex of the Democratic party is an interesting subject for speculation. The professional Dixie Democratic politicians of course favor anything that is grist for the Democratic mill. It is just possible that the organized effort to make Socialists, or Bolshevik, out of the Negro proletariat, might cause some uneasiness even among these politicians. The managers of the movement have confined their activities to the northern side of the Ohio, where the Negro has political rights, and have kept out of the Dixie side, where he hasn't. But it is possible that the thing might spread into states like Mississippi and South Carolina, where a preponderance of black people and a complete absence of black votes might create the impression that the practice as well as the theory of the rule of the proletariat ought to begin, at least with the party in power there that pretends to stand for the down-trodden masses at Paris and elsewhere away from home. The national administration has been "playing up" to certain men who pose as "leaders" of the colored race. The Bureau of Public Information paid liberally the expenses to Washington-of the editors of colored newspapers last summer, where the meeting was harangued by Democratic administration representatives who undertook to prove that Mr. Wilson was the original colored man's friend. A Chicago Negro newspaper announced in thousands of copies of his paper scattered through the northern and border states that the editor had been converted at this conference, and that others had gone forth from it to labor for the election of a Democratic Congress. The federal payroll is adorned with the names of quite a few Negro functionaries who have been trying to reciprocate by delivering the Negro vote to the Democracy which has done so much for the race in the states where it is always on top by one method or another. The administration's effort to make Socialists of the Negroes and bring them around by that route to the administration's support is the latest thing out. But it has its elements of peril. NEGROES DISSATISFIED — LEAV: ING SOUTHLAND Cincinnati, Ohio, April 30.—The heira from the South continues. Last Thursday afternoon four cars filled with Colored men from the South passed through Ohio enroute to Michigan. Those talked to said they were tired of the South's jim-crow cars, low wages, inferior school facilities and the lynch laws. One Southerner, when told that Dr. Moton claimed the South was the best place for the Colored man and that conditions down there were getting better, replied: "Conditions may be better for Moton, but for the masses of us they are just as bad as ever. How can any place where they jim-crow us, deny us the elective franchise and lynch us be the best place for us?" All were healthy, vigorous and industrious men. MME. C. J. WALKER TAKEN New York, April 30.—Mme. C. J. Walker, richest woman of the Race and a leader in social and business life, was taken ill in St. Louis and returned to her hame, Villa 'Lewaro, Irvington-on-the-Hudson. She was accompanied by Dr. Curtiss and a trained nurse from St. Louis. Dr. J. H. Ward, her family physician, stated after consultation with Dr. Curtiss that he was optimistic over the prospects of her recovery and that he would give out daily bulletins at her New York City residence, 110 West 136th street. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources ANTI-LYNCHING LAW Cleveland, May 6.—A resolution petitioning congress to enact a federal anti-lynching law was unanimously adopted by the federal council of the Churches of Christ in America, at the opening of the three-day convention today. The Christian Reform Church in North America and the Church of God in the United tSates were elected to the council. NOTED NEGRO RUNNER TRAINING IN FRANCE FOR A. E. F. TOURNEY Des Moines, Ia., May 7.—Howard Drew, noted Negro sprinter, who is a joint holder of the world's 100-yard record of 0:09 3-5, is in training at Nice, France, for the outdoor track and field meet of the A. E. F., to be held this month, and for the navy Olympics in June, according to reports received here. Drew, a sergeant in the army, will compete in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. He made a sensational comeback in the Western conference outdoor championships in Chicago last June, defeating the crack sprinters of the West. THE FALLACY OF RACE AGAINST RACE THERE is grave danger in the position that some of our race leaders are taking in charging that the white race as a whole is an enemy to the Negro race, and, therefore, such race leaders are seeking to array race against race and to meet prejudice with prejudice, hatred with hatred, bitterness with bitterness. This position is wrong. In the first place, it is wrong as a matter of policy. We will get nowhere in our effort to secure justice and equity if we array ourselves as a race against a race that has superior numbers, intelligence and wealth and social and political advantage. It would be far better to seek to show the white people themselves and the world the fairness of our appeal. We do not underestimate that element to the white race that is disposed not to give us an even-handed justice. This element is considerable in number, persistent in its attitude and determined so far as possible to see it that the Negro is hindered at every point and is reduced or kept in practical peonage. But another fact is equally apparent. There is a large and growing element of white people, South as well as North, that is anxious for the Negro to have a square deal. There are individuals in this group, who, because of the attitude, are going up against social embarrassment and in some instances economical boycott and political discord. They are fighting with might and main to maintain a good conscience and a sense of self-respect, and, therefore, to accord to all men, including the Negro, a square deal. It is an easy matter for our race orators, agitators, debaters, and writers, to change the entire white race as being opposed to the best interests of the Negro. While it is easy to do this, it is exceedingly hazardous and unfair. We must not forget the individual white men and women NO.29. the large and influential groups, South and North, who are doing their level best to improve our condition and make life all the more tolerable. We must not forget the millions of dollars spent and the lives given for our uplift. In our effort to secure justice, we must not be unjust. In our effort to break down prejudice, we must not endorse prejudice by being prejudiced ourselves.—S. W, Christian Advocate, ourselves. TY COBB BRUTALLY ASSAULTS WOMAN Ball Player Kicks Chambermaid Down Flight of Steps. Detroit, Mich., May 2.—One of the most brutal assaults ever reported in this city occurred a few days ago in the Ponchartrain hotel, one of the leading resorts of the city, when Tyrus Raymond Cobb, a baseball player on the Detroit American League team, kicked Mrs. Ada Morris, employed as chambermaid, down a flight of steps. Cobb, before finishing his attack by kicking the woman down the stairs, knocked her in the stomach several times and injured her to such an extent that she is now confined to her home in a serious condition. The attending physician stated to a Defender representative that Mrs. Morris will be unable to leave her bed for several weeks. She is internally injured. Kicked Down Stairs. The trouble arose when Cobb asked the woman from what state did she hail from. The woman stated she was from Pennsylvania. Cobb replied: "There never was a Nigger like you from Pennsylvania." Mrs. Morris objected to this remark. Cobb forthwith plunged into the woman, showering blows upon her head and body. She attempted to fight back, but was overpowered. It is claimed that after beating her he dragged her to the hallway and kicked her down the stairs. At 10 o'clock the following morning relatives of the woman went to the police court to obtain a warrant for Cobb's arrest. The bailiff stated that it was "impossible" for Cobb to commit such an act and that a warrant could not be obtained at that hour. Story is Suppressed. Every effort has been made by authorities connected with the Detroit Baseball Club to keep the story of Cobb's brutality suppressed. Not a white daily newspaper carried the story, although Cobb is one of the best known characters in this city. A meeting was held recently at the Biltmore hotel and a committee was appointed to see that Cobb was brought before the bar of justice. Funds have been collected to employ attorneys to bring a damage suit against the ball player. This is not the first time Cobb has inflicted injuries upon women of our race. It is claimed that while he was a member of the Augusta (Ga.) ball club of the South Atlantic League his conduct at the ball park was the occasion for several unpleasant happenings. --- Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado THE COLORADO STATESMAN The Nucla Lumber Company will open its big sawmill in the Basin soon, to help take care of the immense orders for lumber now being received from all over that valley. Henry Shaffer, employed on the B. G. D. Bishopp ranch at Virginia Dale, was exonerated by a coroner's jury for the killing of Henry Hansen, a mover, who had been stealing from the ranch. A complete copper still, bottling works and dried fruit in large quantities, ready to be made into "white mule" liquor, were the fruits of a raid on the home of Louis Strana, an Austrian, at Leadville. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West The combined half interest of Armour & Company and Swift & Company, Chicago packers, in the Denver Record-Stockman has been purchased by Arthur C. Johnson, well known newspaper man of Denver. Four hundred and fifty miners are needed in the Telluride district in addition to the present force. It is said the operators have abandoned the plan of cutting wages and are now paying the highest scale in the state. From the amount of farm preparation now going on the intention of Fruita district farmers is that the 1919 crops will break all existing records. Beets, wheat, corn and various kinds of vegetables are being planted in immense areas. Oliver Peterson, who shot and killed Earl Brown, near Dolores, March 20, was acquitted of a charge of murder by a Cortez jury after deliberating for seven hours. Brown was killed after an attack upon Mrs. Peterson, the defense contended. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. The meeting of the Delta County Livestock Association, which was to have been held in January and was postponed because of the influenza epidemic, has been set for May 16. Representatives from neighboring associations will be present. This late in the spring the miners at the boarding house at the Mountain Top mine at Ouray are using the second story windows for doors due to the tremendous depth of the snow. The snow is from ten to twelve feet deep everywhere and in drifts is stacked up to prodigious depths. About 50,000 cattle were placed upon range pasture in the Battlement forest during the last week. Of that total there were 15,000 cattle and 10,000 sheep in the two districts immediately north of Paonia. The Gunnison forest reserve, it is understood, has almost an equal number. THE COLORADO STATESMAN The county fair committee has chosen Oct. 7, 8 and 9 as the dates for the Douglas county fair this fall, and is already at work on plans for a bigger and better fair than ever before. The premium lists are to be issued soon so the people may plan for exhibits. James Dalton, convicted of complicity in the theft of an auto, after a two days' trial, and taken to jail at Sterling, complained of feeling ill and a doctor was summoned. The doctor at once said Dalton was suffering from a well developed case of smallpox. Jurors and court attendants have all been vaccinated. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. The canning plant of F. F. Merritt at Grand Junction was threatened by a fire of unknown origin. A rapidly formed bucket brigade succeeded in extinguishing the flames, with a loss of approximately $700. Besides 2,000 cans, scorched machinery and some damage to the building, no other losses resulted. Because of the wholesale invasion of the dandelion, an anti-dandelion crusade was officially inaugurated at Grand Junction when the city commission offered 1 cent a pound for all dandelion roots and prizes for those bringing in the largest quantity. The first prize carries a reward of $5; $2.50 and $1 for the second and third. The campaign closes June 1. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. Fastened under a big spring-toothed harrow on which he was standing when his team started to run, throwing him in front of the machine, J. O. Conning, a farmer near Platteville, was dragged twice across a forty-acre field and his body rolled and pounded almost to a pulp. Conning was rushed in a bleeding and unconscious condition to the Longmont hospital. "The Huns were going good when we got over there, and felt, a little fancy. The first tangle, however, with the khaki uniforms, and they began to lose their ginger, and a little while later it was just like shooting rabbits." That was the statement of Sergt. W. S. Ellingwood of the 157th, who arrived at his home in Delta feeling entirely pleased with his reception en route. TWODOLLARSAYEAR C. W. Price, city band leader at Syracuse, confessed in court before Judge Vance of having made an assault on a 13-year-old girl who was one of his musical pupils. He was sentenced to a term in the penitentiary of not to exceed twenty-one years. Price is 61 years old, has a wife and is the father of six children. He had been a resident of Syracuse for about a year. Three new steel bridges are to be built this year on the Lizard Head highway. They are to be built by the state at Stapleton, Dolores and Montelores, all in Montezuma county. W. R. Tebbs of Dolores, Colo., soldier who was injured in the wreck on Cerro summit, told people who were caring for his wounds that with the Fifth engineers of the Seventh division he had gone through warfare for days and days, and that he had narrowly escaped death several times a day for weeks at a stretch, and that he came through without a scratch, and had hoped for the time when he could walk into his home unscathed. Instead he went home wearing a bandage on his head and a big black eye as a result of being dumped around in a narrow gauge upset. Eldredge Anderson of Denver is dead and Charles J. Ross, also of Denver, is badly injured, the result of a collision of their motorcycle side car with an automobile driven by W. G. Riddock, Fountain, Colo. The collision occurred on the Pueblo road seven miles south of Colorado Springs at a curve. Riddock drove out to the left to pass a load of hay, and his car and the motorcycle met head on. Riddock said he could not see the motorcycle approaching. Within three weeks at the outside, work upon the improvement of the Big Thompson cafion road, the main gateway to Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain national park, will commence. The plans for the work drawn by the engineers of the state highway commission were returned to the commission by the federal roads bureau with the approval of the government's engineers. The members of the Congregational church were surprised at the annual meeting and banquet at Montrose when C. B. Akard, vice president of the First National bank, announced that he and his wife would place a memorial for their dead daughter, Mattye Shirley Akard, in the new Congregational church in the shape of a pipe organ to cost between $5,000 and $19,000. Edward L. Seiwald, who is serving a life sentence in the Canon City penitentiary for the murder of James Lloyd, Valverde saloonkeeper, who, with Patrolman William McPherson, was shot to death during an attempted hold-up by Seiwald and Oscar Cook on the night of March 10, 1912, was denied a new trial by the Supreme Court in a decision handed down at Denver. Frank A. Carlson, *n* Swedish miner, railroad and auto repair man, 38 years old and for several months employed in Denver, was found murdered on the outskirts of Telluride. Robbery is believed to have been the clew to the perpetrators, though they are believed to have been men who met Carlson on the train from Denver and lured him to the spot where he was shot dead. Upon opening the door of his brother's home at Pueblo, to pay him a short visit, Louis Gonzales found his brother, Maxmillan, dead in bed with his head crushed in by some blunt instrument and the body in an advanced condition of decomposition. He had been dead several days. A coroner's jury was summoned, but was unable to determine the identity of the murderer or murderers. The matter of holding a Western Slope fair this year was brought up at the annual meeting of the association at Montrose and thoroughly discussed. It was decided to hold the biggest fair in the history of the Western Slope, to be called the "Victory" fair. The fair will last four days, the exact dates to be announced a little later. They will be the last of September, however, and about a week before the state fair. Colorado, while not among the leading petroleum producing states, has one oil field, in Fremont county, which has been producing steadily for more than thirty years, a record enjoyed by comparatively few oil arenes. Business transactions have been especially lively in Glenwood for the last month. In view of the proposition of the Colorado hotel being leased for a hospital by the government, there seems to be great need for houses to meet the demands of the tourists. There has been a real shortage of comfortable houses all winter, due to the discontinuance of the Midland railroad. The people from the adjoining towns came to Glenwood to make a home. Now that the summer season is at hand, the need of more houses is vital. The Chamber of Commerce has taken the matter up and several indications point to an immediate erection of houses. In competition with 1,000 contestants, Miss Bernice Brown of Barr Lake school, four miles east of Brighton, has won the $50 Victory bond given by Samuel D. Nicholson, state chairman of the Victory Loan drive, for the best essay on "The Price of Peace." Miss Brown's teacher, Miss Evelyn Harlman, was awarded an eminent service badge for the interest she created among her pupils in the work. Water commissioners in the Greeley district are urging the farmers to conserve the water supply in the ditches and not run any more than is absolutely necessary, because of threatened shortage in the streams. While there seems to be plenty of storage and reservoir water, the direct flow is alarmingly less than for many seasons at this time, and unless heavy rains occur within the next few weeks, drawing on the reservoir water will have to start about a month earlier than usual, which will mean a scarcity of irrigation water in the late summer.

A state of siege was proclaimed in Petrograd, according to a wireless message from Tsarskoe-Selo. The soviet government has appointed a committee of three and given it unlimited power over the city and district of Petrograd. Gen. John J. Pershing, commander in-chief of the American expeditionary forces, is going to England on May 22 as the guest of the nation. He will of fictitious thank Britain for what she did to make comfortable more than a million troops passing through England on the way to France. The Neues Zeltung of Stuttgart affirms that in spite of the regulations issued by the German government, "great many capitalists, in particular those who made enormous war profits, are managing to export their money. The same paper declares that in the last two months 25,000,000 marks have been deposited in different Swiss banks. One hundred and fifty persons were killed or executed during the fighting at Munich, according to an account of the fall of that city. Among the killed wer Herr Herrt director of the soviet government, and Herr Sonthelmer, a communist leader. Herr Seidl, who was said to have instigated the shooting of hostages, was reported beaten to death by Wurttemburg soldiers. That Holland will refuse the expected demand of the allies to turn Wilhelm Hollenzollern over to them for trial was indicated in information obtained from confidential sources. A commission of the best international lawyers in Holland, appointed to examine the question, has made a secret report to the Dutch government. This report, it is reliably stated, recommends that Holland act strictly in accordance with international treaties to which she is a party.

THE COMING CITY ELECTION. § the day of election, Tuesday, May 20, approaches, the respective candi- A dates for mayor, councilmen and members of the election commission are showing a lively interest In the keen contest that is sure to take place. ‘Their supporters, no less interested, are engaging in every means and adopting plans to secure the return of their choice for offices, Tn this issue we present five men, residents of the city and county of Denver for very many years, and who are thoroughly conversant with the various political phases success and failure that our city has passed through. Seeing that the public is determined to have as their representatives men that are competent, free from obligations to any private sources, fair and unbiased in the support of that which fosters anything for the good of the community, we specially re- quest our fellow citizens to study well the planks in their platforms and weigh the promises for betterment of civic life, Improvement of our general condi- tions and cause our city to be attractive to those who are seeking comfort- able residences and permanent homes in a community of which they will not be ashamed. The announcements of the candidates in this paper are clear, intelligent and filled with the ability of each candidate to serve the people, and that faithfully, and the attempt to denounce or make appear that any ten- dency to demoralize or make unseemly the idea of respectable living should not be cherished by-voters in exercising the power of the ballot, But three years ago, when the late Robert W. Speer was a candidate for the position of mayor, the ery of Increased Immorality, Wide Open ‘Town, and everything disastrous, sounded in our ears by some of our daily and our weekly papers at every tick of the clock, but the people who are fair and honest in judging a man by his works elected him by a large majority on his merits, not what was said in opposition and just to meet election campaign. It is, there- fore, necessary that electors attend the several meetings of the candidates, xet their views on civic government first hand from them; see whether they agree or disagree with their platforms, and then, being thus governed, go to the polls and help to select the best man for the position. This is the action of the COLORADO STATESMAN, who offers you the same advice. CITY SANA'TORIUM. Oo NE of the amendments on the ballot in the coming election will be the voting of the $850,000 bond issue for construction of a consumptive hospital and additions to the county hospital to provide adequate accommo- dation for our unfortunate tubercular citizens as well as to take better care of regular patients who are entertained in the county hospital. Provision is to be made for three classes of Denver citizens who would be cared for, and this ought to rid the opponents of this great and serviceable movement, who are trying to tell us that Denver would become a resort for the tuber- cular poor of the entire country. First, the native of Denver who contracts the disease and breaks down under his work; second, the resident who has lived in Denver for many years, having come here originally for his health, and breaks down; third, the soldier or sailor who has developed tubercu- losis, As far as we can see this is perfectly fair and ought to be agreeable to us as a whole. Now we were approached and inquiry was made as to whether any discriminatory actions would be attendant with this movement regarding races, as if we vote for this amendment and it carries, then as taxpayers we will have to meet the little increase to meet the bond issue. We made our investigation and being satisfied that this will be governed on the same lines of the county hospital, we urge our people, those qualified to vote on the city’s financial business to give this their loyal support. DISEASE KNOWS NO COLOR. In its ravages it attacks all races. We know of discrimination in some of the private hospitals, but, thanks to our public institutions, that up to the present have not turned their backs on us, and any support to their improvement must result advantageously to us and others, Let us vote for the proposed amendment and urge others to assist in a cause that will be a greater benefit to humanity more than we can tmavcine or realize.

Science Only Lisped Annihilation’s Alphabet During the Great War Shia botn: eperit anid SquanCera aD ey re dicate <q hacen "The experience of this war has made actual what was imaginable before. But there are or would be, if the old system were to continue, two new factors at work. ‘The first and most obvious is the unexplored and still incalculable effect of the harnessing of science to the chariot of destruction. We have seen in these four years only the rudimentary application of methods and agencies unknown and undreamed of in the campaigns of the past. Science has in these matters not only not said the last word ; she is still lisping the alphabet of annihilation. If she is to be diverted from her humanizing mission of recreating our shattered resourees and reviving our waste places and endowing and enriching our commor life; if she is to be diverted for another twenty years into the further elaboration of the mechanics and chemistry of destruction, we may as well pray for the speediest possible return to the glacial epoch. Better a planet on which human life has become physically impos- sible than ore on which it has degenerated into a form of organized suicide. Appeal of France to America: “Don’t Be Too Generous to German People” By STEPHAN LAUZANNE, French High’ Commision If at this hour, when the dreadful nightmare is passing away, muti- lated France could make another appeal to America, her sister and friend, she would say to her: “Don’t be too generous.” ‘Two imperious and inexorable duties are before us: France must have reparation; France must have guaranties. France must have reparation, for seven of her departments—equal in area and wealth to the State of New York—have been laid waste, burned down and razed. Three hundred and fifty thousand houses have been broken into, pulled down and shattered into bits, and it has been com- puted that merely to rebuild them it would require an army of 100,000 men working for twenty years. Who is to furnish that army? France? No, but the destroyers and incendiaries. The mines of northern France have been scientifically and cleverly tampered with, filled with water, or destroyed. Who will supply France with the coal she so badly needs? It will be Germany, who should have left those mines alone. There is one thing France cannot do, and that is to distinguish between the German government and the German people. In 1914 it was undoubtedly the German government that hurled itself at the throats of France and Belgium and humanity and democracy, but it was also the German pegple. Over the invasion of Belgium not a cry of indignation was raised. In 1915 it was undoubtedly the kaiser and Tirpitz who ordered the sinking of the Lusitania, but when that crime became known it was the people of Germany who howled with joy. For four years it was undoubtedly the military caste of Germany and the German general staff who allowed thieving and plundering and author- ized their men to remove everything they could from Belgium and France, but the robbery and plunder profited the German people. There must be reparation or it would be enough to make one despair of justice on earth. ‘There must be punishment or it will all begin over again. ~ * France must have guaranties and in all organized societies guaranty against the repetition of a crime is obtained by punishing the culprit. The German people have committed a series of crimes; the German people must pay the price. ‘And that is why, speaking to America, for whom we heve a deep and abiding affection; America, to whom we are henceforth bound by the ties of eternal friendship; America, with whom we have twice fought side by ride for the noblest of ideals, we say to her, “For God’s sake don’t be too generous.” If the English-Speaking Union Stand Together, True to Their Ideals— It has been well said the price of safety is eternal vigilance. The forms of efforts change but the battle is never over. ‘The life struggle is unending, and the true measure of nations is what they can do when they are tired. ‘The hardest test of all is the test of victory. We English speaking communities of the world must endeavor now, however hard it may seem, to meet the new perils, the new responsibilities of our immense position with a new fund of resilience, of buoyancy and of resolution. I don’t quite see what can happen to harm us if the English-speaking union stand together, true to their ideals of freedom and humanity, and resolute to work together in a spirit of practical comradeship for the sta- bility and progress of civilization. Tf we fall apart there is the end of everything. All that we have achieved in common in this struggle will collapse in ruin to the ground. Tf we fall apart there is no limit to the evils which might be unloosed upon mankind. But if we hold together the larger hope that good will come out of the convulsions of the war is fortified and consolidated in an extraordi- nary degree. Together we are safe; together we are unassailable ; together, with our gallant ally, France, we shall, if we pursue a wise and honotable policy, emerge from the horrors and the anxieties of the present time, and preserve for the benefit and the admiration of future ages the glories wa have won in this long and cruel war. > «sai ae ay A La) By HERBERT ASQUITH, British Statesman If those who oppose the league of nations idea have any gift or faculty of imagination let them try to pre- \ sent to themselves the alternative. Let us suppose that <a league of nations is, if not a baseless fabric, at any rate an impractical policy. What is to take its place? Let us suppose that the nations go on in an unreg- ulated competition—gamble would be a better word— of ambitions and resentments, with their necessary instruments on sea, on land and in the air. What will be the outcome after the lifetime of another generation By WINSTON CHURCHILL, British Secretary THE “Great Moral” Uplift Mr. Herrington, addressing the Lutheran Brotherhood recently said: “If ELECTED MAYOR OF DENVER, POLITICS WILL GO OUT THE BACK DOOR OF THE CITY HALL AS I GO IN THE FRONT DOOR.” Artemas Ward, Josh Billings and “Mark Twain” were world re- nowned humorists but they never said anything so laughable as that. Study for a moment the personnel of the “Combine” that is at- tempting to make him Mayor of Denver: JULIUS AICHELE DAVE HOW MIKE DELANEY BILL DAVOREN GLEN DUFFIELD ALEX NESBIT FRANK HOWBERT LEM ROGERS BOB MEYERS SIM LOEB These are simply specimen bricks, but quite sufficient to make the people see what a fat chance Mr. Herrington will have to purify and elevate civic affairs after receiving an election through such hands. He says they will go out at the back door when he enters the front door of the City Hall—not much—when he goes to the City Hall to take possession of the office he will find this bunch sitting on the steps waiting for him. If he assumes any lofty airs, they will bring him to earth with a dull thud. He will be told that campaign twaddle don’t go any longer, that they elected him and for a definite purpose and that the prearranged program has to be carried out. ‘They will tell him what they expect him to do, and he will do it. He is not a strong enough character to defy them even if so disposed. No fault can be found with the Combine. It is not partisan. Its members are working hand in hand for power and pelf. It is using every power it can command to elect Herrington and will not be cheated out of its yeward, He is leaning on them for support. He hopes to be elected by their efforts in his behalf. They would have the right to call him an ingrate if he dared to repudiate them. Every political party is afflicted by its heelers, fixers and bood- lers, They are the ticks and cooties of politics, unwelcome but un- avoidable. They are tolerated by one party on the ground that they are necessary to counteract the work of their kind attached to other parties. For the first time in the history of Colorado these pests are all together and the people have an opportunity to swat them all at one stroke, So bold and brazen an effort to roll and rob a great community was never before attempted against the people in any city in the United States. It is unbelievable that the voters of Denver will permit it to suc- ceed. If they do not rise in their might on election day and bury the unholy combination under an avalanche of ballots, they will justify the charge that they are incapable of self government. REMEMBER! Dewey C. Bailey is the ONLY candidute for Mayor who absolutely pledges the people a 5-cent car fare NOW. .NO JOB HAS EVER BEEN TOO BIG FOR HIM LOUIS STRAUB FOR RE-ELECTION COUNCILMAN DISTRICT 7.

Baur Catering company, who was suffering from blood poisoning from scratching a boil on his face, is now out of danger and on the way to recovery. His many friends who became anxious over his condition, are pleased to hear of his improvement and hope to see him in his place again. Sergt. William Sutton of the American Expeditionary Forces, arrived in the United States recently and is now at home in Denver. Mr. Sutton says words are inadequate to express his gladness to return home, and that while on the battle front the resolution to do or die was uppermost in one's mind, yet after the cessation of hostilities there was the great desire to return to home and friends again. His large circle of friends were delighted to see him safe home again. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Davis, of Twenty-second avenue and Clarkson street, are the proud possessors of a daughter, the little lady having paid a visit to earth last Wednesday morning.

THE WAR CAMP COMMUNITY SERVICE DANCE. The War Camp Community Service gave one of the most enjoyable dances ever given in Denver last Saturday evening, May 3, at Fern hall, 2711 Welton street in honor of the colored returned soldiers. The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion in the national colors, red, white and blue. This is the first of a series of entertainments to be given for the enjoyment of the colored soldier boys who so ably defended the flag. They are under the direct supervision of the government, with rules and regulations that must be carried out and obeyed. The next dance will be given at the same place Saturday evening, May 17, 8 to 11:30 p. m. Every soldier enlisted or discharged is invited and thrice welcome. Girls are admitted only by invitation issued by the invitation committee. No evening dresses are permissible with lowcut necks and short sleeves. All soldiers are requested to wear their uniforms. Credit for the splendid success of the last entertainment must be given the colored committee, consisting of Mrs. Ida De Priest, chairwoman; Medames Josephine Cassell, Julia Hubbard, George Brooks, L. M. Froman, George Contee, M. McCullough, Mary Holmes, Isabella Stewart, George Gross, Mable Fallings, R. B. Anderson, Ed Mason, N. J. Skillern, Cola Payne and J. C. Cooper; Miss Hermione L. Jones; Messrs. E. P. Blakemore, George Gross, Walter Vernell, Thos. Bell and Dr. P. E. Spratlin. It is good news to Denver's entire colored population to know that the government has approved and returned the budget whereby our colored soldiers are to have a club home. All of the nice things that are being planned for the boys cannot be told in this article, but we want the government to know that we will back any effort it may put forth for the comfort and pleasure of our soldier boys. ANDREW HORAN FOR COUNCIL MAN, DISTRICT 8-ELECTION TUESDAY, MAY 20 W. H. ANDREW HORAN FOR COUNCILMAN, DISTRICT 8—ELECTION TUESDAY, MAY 20. MAN AND CITIZEN whom the people will never forget, and whom they will give every support in this election as in the past, as his actions, his works, have been the evidences of his representation of the people at all times and under all conditions and circumstances. Mr. Horan is better known among the masses as "Andy" Horan, and citizens filled with gratitude for what has been done for them during his tenure of office cannot help from rallying to his support in this election, which needs strong, fearless representatives who will champion the people's cause, even if they stand alone. Andrew Horan stands for a bigger and better Denver, supporting every measure whereby the public becomes the permanent beneficiary; believes in leadership free from taint, as public servants should be morally obligated, and filling the position with the honor attached to it, a greater service can be given now and for the future. As a city booster Mr. Horan is without a peer, as during his nearly forty years of residence his motto is BUILD OUR CITY BY ENCOURAGING HOME OWNERS AND HOME SEEKERS, and keeping this ever before him, he has in his position as private citizen and capacity as councilman contributed to the passage of laws helpful to Denver citizens, catering to a people that have resolved to make this their home by enjoying the happiness of just laws. As an American who stands for the highest type of Americanism in the meeting out of fair play to all Americans, irrespective of class, race or color, our fellow Negroes are pleased to remember the good use of Mr. Horan's office but a short while ago when he opposed with all the effort and courage he could muster the infernal and contemptible SEGREGATED PROPERTY OWNERSHIP BILL, and was to a great extent responsible for its being thrown out for good from the council committee. The same fearlessness made him the people's advocate in the 5-cent street car fare, and which he will endeavor to see restored. Commended for his work in the present council, appreciated for his continuous support to the welfare of the people, respected for his willingness to hear the petition of black and white, rich and poor alike, Andrew Horan should be returned by an overwhelming majority as a proof of the confidence reposed in him by Denver citizens, and THE COLORADO STATESMAN knowing him for over thirty years, and a witness to his record in this community, again recommends him to the people of Denver as thoroughly competent to represent their cause for the next term of the municipal council. If MERIT wins admiration, then vote on Tuesday, May 20, as follows: ANDREW HORAN FOR COUNCILMAN—YES—X. The voice and piano recital by Madame Lillian Hawkins-Jones and Miss Helen Minnis, with Valeurez Spratlin, one of Denver's foremost accompanists, at Shorter church, last Monday evening, furnished another proof of the quality artists among us in our Western territory. A well arranged program with the vocal numbers so pleasingly rendered and the instrumentalists ably performing their part, brought forth rounds of applause expressing appreciation of the very large audience and encouragement over the remarkable display of local talent. Madame Jones, the vocalist, compares very favorably with our leading Denver vocalists, while Miss Minnis, the pianist, bids fair to become an artist of more than passing comment. Special features worthy of commendation and very graciously received were: "La Salutation Angelique," Gounod, with organ accompaniment, in which voice and organ made quite an effect, and the concert "March Triumphale," for two pianos, played by Miss Minnis and Mr. Spratlin, brought forth an encore. Mr. Spratlin maintained his reputation and comes in for quite a share of appreciation wherever he is heard, on both organ and piano. The audience listened very attentively to the program and expressed themselves highly pleased with the entire event. Fellow Citizens!

Members of the order, in the conventional evening dress, vied with the evening costumes of those ladies who were fortunate to be participants in such an event of the season. At 10 o'clock the grand march, led by Duke Conway, the Beau Brummel of Elkdom, created quite an added attraction, the leader demonstrating his abilities in military functions, the same coming in for much commendation. The grand prize drawing came in for much excitement, the beautiful, golding won by the holder of ticket No. 21, winning won by the holder of ticket No. 20, Miss Beatrice Montgomery, one of the season's debutantes, of 2937 Welton street.

According to the California Eagle, one of the leading newspapers of Los Angeles, the young artists' rendition excelled their ages, and the interpretation given to the difficult compositions of the masters made an impression that at no distant date these young folks will be reckoned among our country's best artists. Master Rose is a violinist, while Misses Hobson and Williams are pianists, and Miss Albritton, vocalist. The Colorado Statesman, in adding its quota of praise, wishes for them a long career of usefulness in the musical world and a continuous representation of the race in the best possible manner.

WILL CONSIDER TREATY PRESIDENT WILL NOT BE PRESENT WHEN CONGRESS CALLS TO ORDER. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, May 8.—President Wilson issued a proclamation by cable Wednesday for a special session of Congress to meet Monday, May 19. Secretary Tumulty in making the announcement said it would be impossible, of course, for the President to be on the opening day. The day fixed for the special session was much earlier than Democratic leaders had expected. White House officials said that in naming an early date for the season, President Wilson was guided largely by the advice of Secretary Glass as to the necessity of passing annual appropriation measures which failed in the closing days of the last session. There was no information at the White House as to the probable time of the return of the President, but some administration leaders believed the President had called the session earlier than had been anticipated in order that Congress might dispose of the more important appropriation measures before the treaty was ready for consideration. Republicans of the House virtually have completed their organization, but the Senate has done no organization, and this probably will occupy its attention for the first week. Senator Lodge, the Republican leader, Wednesday issued a call for a Republican conference May 14 to perfect the Senate organization, and Representative Mondell, Republican floor leader, announced a conference of Republican House members for May 17. President Wilson's proclamation calling the extra session follows: "Whereas, public interests require that the Congress of the United States should be convened in extra session at 12 o'clock noon on the nineteenth day of May, 1919, to receive such communications as may be made by the executive. "Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim and declare that an extraordinary occasion requires the Congress of the United States to convene in extra session at the capitol in the District of Columbia on the nineteenth day of May, 1919, at 12 o'clock noon, of which all persons who shall at that time be entitled to act as members thereof are hereby required to take notice. "Given under my hand and seal of the United States of America, the se- venth day of May in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and nineteen, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and forty-third. (Signed) : "WOODROW WILSON, "By the President. "ROBERT LANSING, "Secretary of State." May Stay Until Treaty Signed. Paris.—There is no indication that President Wilson contemplates hastening his return because of the convocation of Congress on May 19th, and he undoubtedly will remain through the period of fifteen days allowed the Germans for consideration of the peace terms, probably until the treaty is signed. In case the negotiations are prolonged by suggestions advanced by the Germans, it is possible he may forego the satisfaction of signing the treaty and return home. It is expected that he will send a message to be read in his absence. Would Protect France. New York.—An official summary of the peace treaty delivered to the German delegates at Versailles by the representatives of the associated powers, was made public here Wednesday by the Committee on Public Information. It contained the following: "In addition to the securities afforded in the treaty of peace the President of the United States has pledged himself to propose to the Senate of the United States and the prime minister of Great Britain has pledged himself to propose to the parliament of Great Britain an engagement, subject to the approval of the council of the League of Nations, to come immediately to the assistance of France in case of unprovoked attack by Germany." Lusitania Plays Part. Washington.—Four years ago Wednes day the German submarine U-39 sank the Lusitania without warning off the Irish coast and 1,154 persons lost their lives, 114 of whom were American citizens. Wednesday afternoon Germany's peace delegates received from the allied governments the terms of a dictated peace in whose making the United States, forced into the war by Germany's ruthless submarine warfare, played a principal role. And 'tis my faith that every flower enjoys the air it breathes. GOOD MEALS FROM LEFTOVERS. Take the leftover mashed potato and form it into cakes or croquettes, adding an egg yolk for food value; season with salt and place in a pan to bake. Just before putting into the oven, brush with a beaten egg white, which will brown with ing an egg yolk for food value; season with salt and place in a pan to bake. Just before putting into the oven, brush with a beaten egg white, which will brown with a good color. Serve hot for a supper dish. Oriental Stew.—Simmer gently together two cupfuls each of cooked mutton cut in cubes and cooked potatoes diced, one cupful of water, two tablespoonfuls of fat, one chopped onion, one cupful of cooked peas or cooked string beans; season with salt, pepper and a very little curry powder. While the stew is cooking cook a half-cupful of rice. When it is tender, place on a hot vegetable dish, and in the center turn the stew. Put thinly sliced stale cake together sandwich fashion with any preserve or jelly, then serve with whipped cream or a fruit sauce, if preferred. Rice With Bananas.—Peel, scrape and mash three bananas; add a few drops of lemon juice and sugar to taste, with a pinch of salt. Stir this fruit into one cupful of nicely cooked rice and serve with cream and sugar. Beef Brains.—Brains when nicely cooked and served make a most dainty and digestible dish. Beef brains are firmer than those of a young animal, but any kind from any animal will do. Blanch the brains as one does sweetbreads, adding a tablespoonful of vinegar to a quart of water and salt to taste. Parbell 20 minutes with a blade of mace, a bay leaf, or any desired seasoning; drain and plunge into cold water; wash and remove all membrane and set on ice to chill. Serve cut in dice in a brown or white sauce. They may be served as one does sweetbreads and they are very similar in appearance. Salmon Canape.—Remove the bones from a moderate-sized can of salmon; pound in a mortar with two hard-cooked eggs, a teaspoonful of mustard, two teaspoonfuls of lemon juice, and a dash of cayenne. Just before spreading on hot slices of toast add a salt-spoon of horseradish and set in the oven to heat. Serve with finely minced celery on the top of each. They are as sick who surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing.—Shakespeare. PRACTICAL IDEAS FOR MAKING HOUSEKEEPING EASIER. If there are those in the home who persist in using the woodwork for scratching matches smear a little vaseline over the spot generally used. After a few attempts to scratch a match on the greasy surface, even the most persistent offender will deslst. 11 Two holders fastened together with a tape long enough to be thrown around the neck will always be handy when a holder is needed. A pocket on the inside of the apron will not catch on anything and tear. Put a piece of camphor gum or a stick of camphor ice in the silver drawer; it will keep the silver from tarnishing. A clothespin bag hung from a coat hanger may be pushed along on the clothesline as needed. A nut cracker makes a good wrench for small bottles with screw tops. Old wall paper of heavy oatmeal or of light tints may be tinted cheaply with a special tint for use on walls. The lower stair of the back stairs put on hinges makes a fine place to keep rubbers, overshoes and other things which are so apt to be misalid. When putting a patch on wall paper to cover a spot, tear the edges, as they are much less visible than if evenly cut. When stirring in a small dish use a clothespin to steady it on the hot stove. A dried-out half of egg shell with a hole broken in the end will serve as a funnel for filling small bottles. Metal buttons which can be picked up by a magnet will rust when washed. A sewing machine needle that has become blunt can be sharpened by stitching a few times through a piece of emery or sandpaper. Rub suede shoes with emery paper to remove water spots. Nellie Maxwell "Be you the feller that runs the correspondence skule?" "I am, sir. What can I do for you?" "Wall, I'd like to take a few lessons.

"Well, I declare," exclaimed Aunt Nancy, gazing at the photograph of a Britisher all dressed up in his monocle, "If these English people aren't the savingest fellers! Think of wearin' only one spec' jest to save the other. But then," she added thoughtfully, "mebbe the poor critter is blind in one eye." THINK PEACE TERMS DRASTIC HUNS IN NEAR PANIC OVER TREATY—STOCK EXCHANGE CLOSES. MAY REFUSE TO SIGN TAGEBLATT SAYS "TREATY SURPASSES OUR WORST EXPECTATIONS." Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, May 9.—Under the impression that the peace conditions are crushing, the Berlin stock exchange committee has resolved to close the exchange for three days, according to a dispatch received here. Advices state that at a meeting of the peace committee, held in Berlin, the German government declared itself in favor of a commercial treaty with Russia. Berlin.—The Berlin papers publish a summary of the peace terms, which are condemned by all from the extreme left to the ultra-conservative right. Dr. Theodor Wolff, in the Tageblatt, says: "Although we were prepared for a good deal, even for everything; we can only say that the treaty surpasses our worst expectations." Berlin.—The National Zeitung publishes what it terms the official standpoint the government expects to take regarding the peace terms. The government, according to the newspaper, will refuse to sign any point of the treaty which provides for "oppression of Germany." For instance, the entente's standpoint regarding Danzig and the Saar valley will not be accepted. The German delegates, however, will make every effort to institute negotiations on these and other unacceptable demands, says the National Zeitung. Paris. — Intimations reaching the peace conference from Versailles lead to the belief that two or three members of the German peace delegation probably will return to Germany to consult their government, the others remaining at Versailles. Germany has not submitted any communication with regard to the peace treaty. All the exchanges between the delegation at Versailles and the home government are being kept secret. The delegates said they had expected from the newspaper reports that the demands in many respects would be far-reaching, but were not prepared for the terms as actually laid down in the printed copy of the document. After the conference at Versailles William M. Hughes, premier of Australia, said, according to a Reuter dispatch: "The attitude of Count Von Brockdorf-Rantzau was an intolerable insult to the conference, for while Premier Clemenceau spoke standing, the German spokesman did not rise while making his address. In spite of their intolerable arrogance, the day was one of humiliation for the Germans, which we could see had entered into their souls." William F. Massey, premier of New Zealand, said: "The Germans were more impudent and aggressive than anything I have ever met." May Abrogate Prohibition. Paris.—In connection with a report that President Wilson would abrogate the wartime prohibition order if he found that sentiment was overwhelming against it, attaches at the White House asserted that no action is likely until he returns home and thoroughly canvasses public sentiment. Tornado Visits Texas. Corpus Christi, Tex.-Fifteen persons were killed when one of the worst tornadoes ever experienced in southwest Texas swept the lower Rio Grande valley, demolishing farm houses and doing great damage to growing crops, according to telegrams received here from the storm area. Other reports said the number of dead might be larger than first believed. Many of the victims of the storm were said to have been Mexicans settled along the Rio Grande river. Holland Protests Treaty Washington.—A protest by Holland against the provision of the peace treaty affecting the Rhine was predicted here. The treaty not only contravenes Dutch rights, but will nullify an existing treaty between the Netherlands and Germany. The treaty of peace would place the Rhine under a central commission of representatives of France, which, in addition, would select the president; four of Germany and two each of England, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Gould Charged With Frauds. New York.—George J. Gould, executor and trustee of the estate of his father, Jay Gould, was required under a Supreme Court order to show cause why he should not be removed from office. The application for the order, made on behalf of Frank J. Gould, another son, charges the executor with frauds and violations of the law, resulting in loss to the estate of $25,000,000. An affidavit signed by Frank J. Gould's attorney, charged that the executor had perpetrated frauds "even upon his own brothers and sisters." POINT ONE—Morrison's Full Orchestra furnishes the music.

PLATFORM, PRINCIPLES AND PLANS OF SIDNEY EASTWOOD CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER —ELECTION TO BE HELD MAY 20, 1919. Believing that all candidates for Mayor of the City and County of Denver at this election should frankly inform the voters their reasons for their candidacy and the policies they propose to pursue if elected, I take pleasure in thus submitting my views. The welfare of Denver is what I am most interested in. I have lived here steadily since 1871, and during these forty-eight years have made a constant study of municipal conditions. handled a cent of political money. I have lived continuously for twenty-five years in North Dover, built this house; it is my name and I have paid taxes on it. I have been married twenty-nine years and have educated four children. The workers of a city—militers, clerks, nurses, and men and women toilers—should be a city's first consideration, as they constitute the greater portion of the population. Low street car fare has a tendency to create homes and land for withten- ment was that we always believed in and advocated municipal ownership of all public utilities, and believe that it should be the duty of the incoming Mayor to begin negotiations for the purchase by the Cityof the property of the Denver Tramway Company at a fair value determined by impartial facts—but not on a valuation by the Company's engineers or on the basis of "watered" stock and bond transactions. Travel Company should be compelled, in the meantime, to comply fully with its franchise contract with the City and furnish service for Five-Cent fares without extra charge on transfers. If the company is unqualified to fulfill its obligations, then it should be required to turn its property over to the City. The Gas & Electric Company and the Telephone Company must refund their overcharges and live up to their franchise and agreement. I am opposed giving the Tramway Company a charge of $0.000 of our money to send to show us that we ought to pay more car fare. If elected Mayor I promise to take steps at once to ascertain the amount of electricity the City can be generated power now owned by the City in conjunction with the municipal water, and the cost thereof, with the purpose of utilizing the City in position to furnish electricity for its own lighting system and power for City shops and asphalt plants, upon the expiration of the City's contract with the Democrat now owned by the City in position to fund the street car system is operated at half the cost of any other city of equal size, due to its hydro-electric system. San Francisco had a demand in 1918 of more than $200,000 dollars of electricity generated by the owned plant where water power is used. I do not believe in any candidate advocating municipal ownership unless he has some definite plan for carrying The water plant, now owned by the City, will take care of its bonded intended debtedness and movement provisions out of its owners, without any additional burden on taxpayers. The same should true of the Tramway system at the event of its purchase and movement by to purchase the City not be able reasonable valuation until the expiration of its franchise (six years) are reached. In the position to operate the system under its own water-developed power. If the cost of operation can thus be cut in half, it is obvious that no burden will fall on the City. It is conceded that the use of automobiles has decreased the revenue of the Tramway Company. It is also fact that a transportation cost for a large city is a more essential. The vehicle does not own an automobile is compelled to ride on the street cars, and on account of the use of automobiles by others, the Tramway company is attempted and says they must not fare to 7½ cents. Why not, when the Tramway Company is acquired by the City, lower the fare to 3 cents, or two tickets for 5 cents if there is a charge, or a genetical mutation? The experts agree that lower fare brings greater revenues, and I am sure that the deficit would be very small for the taxpayers to take care of. And with the result of fare lessened, less automobiles would I believe the returning soldiers should be given preference on the fire and police departments when they are necessary, then them points to civil service examination to insure them employment. I believe in furnishing water for vacant lots free of charge. A garden or field of grain looks and is better than I am not strong for the Civic Center propositions, and while I believe that this one should be finished, believe that a new municipal building, when it should be erected there. I am in favor of the City acquiring, from the Government, the High School ground and utilizing it as a park or breathing space, for the congested district. I am not in favor of selling any City property, and in case of a public building being built elsewhere, would favor leasing the Court House Square on the same lot. I am in favor of keeping the Sixteenth Street viaduct open to the public, as it connects with the city, with the nature artery to the city and has now been able to traffic for three years. Profiteering should be curtailed in the interest of the great mass of people, no matter where the city is located, so that methods of accomplishing this result should be studied carefully so that justice may be done to all, yet mindful of the fact that upon the prosperity and contentment of the people as a whole depends the "Denver and Colorado possesses men of sufficient ability to carry to a successful conclusion any work taken, and in that case Eastern men should be imported to conduct our industrial commissions or perform technical and engineering work in connection with our public utilities or any municipal "Matters of taxation should be examined with great care to see that the small property owner is not excessively burdened by municipal present the drain upon the account of the war has been heavy. At the same time, every effort should be made to carry forwardessary improvements with regard to giving women unemployed and to withing soldiers and to keep pace with the general progress of the City. These and other factors will be given due consideration in mapping our public improvement program for the future." Efficiency in all departments of the City government is recognized as a requisite to the fulfillment of all obi- Ralphson: the four years to come, when adjustments of labor problems will take place, would you expect a millionaire or an aristocrat to look after your interests better than a man of low kind? You get a millionaire for it. If you get a millionaire, you get him; if you vote for an aristocrat, that is what you get. THINK IT OVER. A grand reception in honor of the bride and groom. Following the announcements issued last week, a reception was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Gaskin in honor of their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Burris. At the time set the guests, numbering close to fifty, began to arrive. The house was decorated with pink and white crepe paper and white bells, ferns and pink and white carnations. Punch was served throughout the evening. The trio from Store No. 41, Union Pacific oil house, where the bride has been employed for the past ten months as stenographer, gave pleasing selections. Mr. Samuel James read a very interesting set of rules to be followed by the bride. At a late hour luscious refreshments were served and the guests departed with best wishes and congratulations for the future success of the couple. The bride is an industrious and highly respected young lady and has a splendid character. She was raised in Cheyenne, and has endearled herself to all in the community in which she lives. She graduated from Cheyenne High School in May, 1918, being the only colored graduate in the state of Wyoming in that year. For the past four years the young lady has been organist of the A. M. E. Church. In July last an influential colored man secured a position in the store department of the Union Pacific for Miss Ruby Gaskin, which she has held for the past ten months. Her parents are one among the very best families of the city, having lived here a number of years and own considerable property. Her father, Mr. J. C. Gaskin, is a United States mail contractor and uses two automobiles on the route. Mr. A. F. Burris, the groom, is an intelligent and industrious young man and is an employé in one of the largest tailoring concerns of the city. Previous to his visit to Cheyenne, he was connected with the Young and Mason Tailoring Company in Lincoln, Nebraska, and was found to be worthy and capable in every respect. Mr. Burris was graduated from Lincoln High School in the spring of 1914, nt Sedalia, Missouri, and later went to the University of Kansas, after which he began his search and to fulfill his desire to see the western states. Traveling with the grace of God to guide him, as the sun was sinking into the western horizon July 20, 1918, on board the evening train was this young man. Coming in contact with the well-known family of Mr. J. C. Gaskin he sought his companion and immediately it was made known to him that his search was ended. Feeling deep in his heart and mind that he plucked from the bush a rose that would never fade, he kept it a secret in Cheyenne, but his mind was so overcome with delight he was forced to inform his friends in the east that he had found the rose of the western plains, and plucked it to keep forever. The couple will leave the first week of June for Sedalia, Missouri, where they will spend their honeymoon at the home of the groom's parents. Although their plans are not just settled they expect to return to Lincoln, Nebraska, to make their home. The couple have received an abundance of congratulations and presents and more still coming. They were married Sunday, October 6, 1918, at 7:30 p. m., Rev. J. T. Muse officiating. The writer joins in with the many friends in wishing them much success and happiness in life. The ladies of the Searchlight Club and the members of the Civic League of Colored People gave a reception Wednesday evening at the A. M. E. Church in honor of Lieut. John E. Leonard of the 368th Infantry, 92nd Division, now demobilized. The reception was opened and closed with patriotic songs. Rev. J. M. Endlott lead in prayer, Rev. J. T.

Smith, a veteran of the Civil War, discussed the soldier, which was indeed interesting to hear. Mr. C. J. Tolliver, secretary of the league, spoke entertainingly and inspiringly. Lleut. Leonard spoke relating some of his experiences overseas. His motto he said had been that of the Searchlight Club of which his wife is a member. To the stars through difficulties. He suggested that the Civic League adopt as its motto that of his troop of the Ninth Cavalry, "Let's go." Miss Lillian Jefferson rendered a beautiful instrumental solo. Mrs. J. E. Smith sang. Lieut. Leonard is one of a number of enlisted men selected from regular army troops who were sent to training camps at Des Moines, Iowa, and later cited for gallant service in France. He departed Thursday afternoon, May 1st, assigned to his former organization, Troop G, 9th Cavalry. He accompanied his wife and family to Oakland, where the wife and family will reside while he will sail for the Philippines to join his company. Mrs. Ben Davis went to Denver last week on business. Mrs. Allie Smith, who was in Denver last week visiting with her sister, has returned. Mr. H. C. Stanley has purchased a five-passenger car. Stanley is only 18 years of age and has been employed by the U. P. R. R. Company for a year and a half and is a good regular worker. The Second Baptist Church, since the pastor, Rev. C, O. Smith, has returned from his home in Kansas, is getting busy for a great work for this year. New officers were elected for the Sunday School. Mrs. I. Anderson, superintendent; Nora Brown, secretary; Mrs. A. Dickerson, treasurer; Mr. Cane, Charles Horn and Mrs. Lizzie Christian, teachers. Mrs. J. T. Muse, organist. Deacon McCoombs was reelected president of the B. Y. P. U. Rev. Smith preached a powerful sermon on the subject, "Three things, yea, four, that I cannot understand: The trace of the eagle in the air, the trace of the serpent on the rock, the trace of the ship on the sea, and the make- up of man." This lesson was great and very instructive. Mrs. Maris Arthur of Denver was here last week attending the reception that was given by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Gaskin in honor of their daughter and son-in-law.

Proposed Issue, Also Including a Municipal Sanatorium for Treating Our Own Resident Tuberculars, Will Cost Taxpayers About One-fourth Mill a Year. Resident victims of tuberculosis applying to the Denver Bureau of Charity and Correction for aid cannot get as much done for them as can many non-resident patients dealt with by the bureau, according to Miss Florence W. Hutsinpillar, the bureau's executive secretary. "The reason for this is the fact that Denver has no municipal tuberculosis sanatorium, while 170 other American cities have such institutions," Miss Hutsinpillar explains. "We can often persuade non-residents to return to their homes and take advantage of the scientific care provided by their own communities, but the best we can offer Denver's own citizens suffering from tuberculosis is temporary relief in the crowded tuberculosis ward at the county hospital or out at the county farm—if we can find room for them." An actual campaign, nationwide in its scope, is being conducted by the Denver Anti-Tuberculosis Society to influence tuberculosis victims in other parts of the country to stay away from Denver and seek the aid of municipal, county or state sanatoria maintained in or near their own communities, unless they have ample funds to insure at least two years of the best care Denver's private—and necessarily expensive—institutions can give them. "Why Tuberculous Persons Without Funds Should Not Leave Home" is the title of a folder published by this society and being distributed by the thousands through the co-operation of similar organizations in other cities. Copies were supplied to the 4,500 physicians of Chicago and Cook county, Illinois, recently by the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute, which has been doing educational and relief work several years and which led the successful campaign for the Chicago Municipal Tuberculosis Sanatorium a few years ago. "The one bait that brings tuberculous persons to Denver is not our city's inadequate public equipment to treat tuberculosis, but our much advertised climate," declares Miss Garnet Isabel Pelton, executive secretary of the Anti-Tuberculosis Society. "And this society is asking for a sanatorium to treat Denver citizens, hundreds of whom develop tuberculosis right here in this climate, and to protect thousands of Denver children against infection at an exceedingly critical age. "One-fourth to one-third of a mill would be a large enough tax to levy to build this municipal sanatorium and also to make sure needed improvements at Denver's outgrown and overcrowded county hospital and county farm. And the scores of taxpayers in our society are confident that other taxpayers in our society are confident that other taxpayers will join them in voting for this better-care-for-the-city's sick ordinance on May 20." NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS' ANNUAL MEETING Denver, Colorado, April 12, 1919. To the Stockholders of the Western Loan and Investment Association, you are hereby notified that the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Western Loan and Investment Association is be held on Tuesday, May 19 at 10 a.m. at room 8 of building 25, said day, at room 25, Western Newspaper Union Building, 1824 Curry Street, Tucson, Colorado, for the election of officers and directors, of said association and for the transaction of any and all other business which may properly come before said Raining "Cats and Dogs." In England the male blossoms of the willows are called "cats and dogs" and a rainstorm would shake them off and strew them on the ground. Hence arose the expression "raining cats and dogs." Impossible. "I want you to know," bellowed the angry man, "that I'm not as stupid as you think I am! " "Sure not," replied his friend. "You couldn't be." Life'a Minor Worries Frequently a woman worries a great deal over the question of calling on another woman who doesn't care in the least whether she calls or not.—Boston Transcript. Canadian money orders are issued on blanks of various denominations, each with the amount of money for which the order is issued printed on it. A lady living in Ontario, sending a bunch of 30-cent money orders to make up a remittance to a Boston firm, apologizes thus: "I apologize for all these post office orders. It seems that the local postmaster got in a stock six years ago, and the 30-cent orders were the slowest to sell. He has no others on hand now." Mid-Air Proposal. The "most remarkable proposal" we know of was made at St. Louis by Charles Kruger, a trapeze performer, one of whose most sensational performances was to catch with his hands a lady who dived through the air from a great height in a desperate "leap for life." One night as he caught her in her downward flight and had her swinging in the air, he proposed to her; and before the cheers had died away he had secured her consent to be his wife. Stones for Rosaries. The rosaries sold at Kandahar are extensively manufactured from soft, crystallized silicate of magnesia. This is quarried from a bill about thirty miles northwest of the city, where soapstone and antimony are also obtained in considerable abundance. The stone varies in color from a light yellow to a bluish white, and is generally opaque. This Dog Small Boy's Friend. A pupil in one of the Rumford (Me.) grade schools failed to come to school and when the truant officer called to learn the reason, he was told that the dog had run off witt. the small boy's knickerbocker's, which had been put in their usual place the night before, and which could not be located until time to attend the afternoon session. Horse Is Deceived. A horse sees everything about 22 per cent larger than does a man. So that a six-foot man looms up a little short of seven feet six inches high. The fact has, of course, never been proved, but a favorite explanation of the large image in a horse's eye is that if a horse knew man's exact size he would realize his power and pass beyond his control. Various Powers Named. Only the power derived from melting glaciers and snow caps is known as white cont. while other water powers are termed "green coal." But there is another vast source of power, namely, that which may be derived from the waves and tides of the ocean; and this is now termed "blue coal." Columbus Boasted. "These latest passengers needn't be so stuck up," he cried. "I was the first man to cross the ocean in three ships."—New York Sun. W. H. H. John S. Flower Says: "I want the citizens of Denver to vote for the man honestly believed to be able to do the most for this city." Mr. Flower has shown by his record that he can do big things; has no political ambition; the salary does not attract, and is running merely because he knows that with the city administration back of him, and committees to carry out his instructions, he can make of Denver a "city proud," and its progress be noted the nation over.

LONG THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY One of the Latest Capes Designers of afternoon frocks find the combination of taffeta silk and georgette crepe so entirely to their liking that they have turned out an endless variety of models of this kind. And now comes changeable taffeta to re-enforce this already strong combination and to insure it long life and unequaled popularity for the summer. Among so many colorful and graceful dresses there are widely different styles, so that their appeal is universal, for every woman can find something to suit her. The two models shown in the group above are of entirely different character, but both are made of taffeta combined with georgette. The dress at the left is quaint and youthful, and shows a skirt of tan-colored crepe over an underskirt of tan and blue changeable taffeta. There are six ruffles, with narrow headings, made of the taffeta, set one above the other, on the skirt. The crepe blouse over a short bodice of taffeta, is quite plain, except for two groups of round silk-covered buttons at each side and simple embroidered motifs across the One of the With the tide of fashion set steadily toward capes and dolmans for outside wraps, designers have settled themselves to the development of these two styles of garments, and to making combinations of them and modifying them as summer comes on. It is safe to predict that these same styles will go over into the fall and winter season, with dolmans finally gaining the ascendancy for cold weather wear. As for capes, they are always good style, because their lines are graceful and they do not look old-fashioned in any season. There is nothing so good for formal dress. One of the latest and best models in capes appears in the picture above. It is of black satin, lined with a soft, figured silk, and is a very ample and dignified garment. There is a deep fitted yoke, really a short cape, about the shoulders, defined by three rows of cord covered with satin. The wide body of the cape is gathered to this voke and it is merely a straight length of the satin as displayed by the manikin with arms outstretched, who is wearing it. One can imagine the full, soft folds into which it will fall when front. There are long sleeves of the crepe set in deep cuffs of taffeta, and the crushed girdle is made of the silk, which is also used as a binding for the plain neck. The dress at the right is designed for an older woman, and employs plain taffeta and figured georgette. The style is shown in several color combinations in which certain shades of blue with white, and brown with white in the georgette are matched up with the same shades in silk. The skirt is made of the taffeta, with long tunic drapery of the georgette. The edges of the drapery are piped with a cording covered with taffeta. A vest of the silk set in the body extends below the waist line and ends in a long point, and the sleeves call attention to the fact that they are only three-quarter length with a flaring band of taffeta set on below the elbow. The tunic profits by the example set by the bodice and is also cut with a long pointed panel at the front that is finished with a handsome tassel. It is shorter at the sides and longer at the back, where it has a square instead of a pointed finish at the bottom. Latest Capes the arms are dropped and graceful lines and richness of a garment so cleverly and yet so simply designed, are shown. Wraps for summer wear are made of tricolette, silk jersey and other suitable weaves of silk, and some of them are unlined. These new heavy weaves lend themselves so well to capes that we may expect to see them entering their ranks in force. It is not likely that anything will ever outclass good black satin as a fabric for making capes; one is safe in choosing it and it can be worn in all seasons of the year. This particular cape is supplied with a small scarf to be worn with it when the weather is chilly.
