N. A. A. C. P. PROTEST AGA
N. A. A. C. P. IN STRONG PROTEST AGAINST LYNCHING
THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady of New York, makes public a telegram sent to Governor Theodore G. Bilbo of Mississippi and to Mayor J. J. Hayes of Vicksburg, regarding the lynching and burning of Lloyd Clay, a Negro, at Vicksburg, on May 14. According to newspaper reports, Clay was burned to death in a thickly populated section of Vicksburg in the presence of approximately 1,000 people, many of whom were women, who looked on in silence. It was further reported that thousands viewed the body roasting over the fire and then went home.
In its telegram the Association calls the attention of the governor to the fact that lynching was condemned recently by three great organizations—The National Conference on Lynching, meeting in New York; the Southern Sociological Congress, meeting in Knoxville, Tenn., and the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, meeting in Cleveland—that these three organizations, in addition to the President of the United States, challenge the city of Vicksburg and the state of Mississippi to show to the nation that law and order reign in Mississippi. The telegram follows: May 19, 1919. Hon. Theodore G. Bilbo, Governor, Jackson, Miss. As you are aware, Lloyd Clay, Negro, was burned to death in a thickly populated section of Vicksburg in the presence of approximately 1,000 people, many of whom were women who, according to press accounts, looked on in silence; further that thousands viewed the body roasting over the fire and then went home.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, devoting itself to an endeavor to stamp out lynching, strongly condemns the crime with which this Negro was charged, but points out that the girl did not identify Clay as her assailant. But whether guilty or not, as President Wilson says, "No man who really cares for America's fame and honor or who is truly loyal to her institutions, can justify mob action, while the courts of justice are open and the governments of the states are ready and able to do their duty." The city of Vicksburg and the state of Mississippi are now confronted with the question, are the courts of your state ready and able to do their duty. That duty, we most respectfully suggest, is clear. It is that the lynchers and burners of this Negro be brought to trial in your courts.
Recently a National Conference on Lynching in New York condemned lynching; the Southern Sociological Congress at Knoxville, Tennessee, also condemned the practice, as did the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, meeting in Cleveland. These three great organizations, therefore, in addition to the President of the United States, challenge the city of Vicksburg and the state of Mississippi to show to the

nation that law and order reign in Mississippi. Such crimes as were charged against the victim of this lynching are the crimes of degenerates. What can be said of a thousand people who stand and watch a human being burned to death? If there is anything you care to say for the information of our press service, we shall be pleased to convey your message to the country. PROTEST TO GOVERNOR BROUGH
THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady, makes public a telegram sent to Governor Charles Brough of Arkansas concerning the lynching by burning to death of Frank Livinston, a Negro, recently discharged from the United States army, near Eldorado, Ark. Press dispatches state that on May 21 Livinston was tied to a tree and burned to death; that Sheriff Craig of Union county arrived a few minutes too late to prevent the lynching but that no arrests were made.
The Association calls the governor's attention to the fact that this is the second lynching which has occurred in Arkansas within thirty days, both of which were for murder, a crime for which the laws of Arkansas provide ample punishment. The telegram follows:
May 23, 1919.
Hon. Charles Brough, Governor, Little Rock, Ark.
National Association for Advancement of Colored People, speaking in behalf of its two hundred ten branches and fifty-four thousand members of both races in thirty-nine states, respectfully requests information concerning steps being taken or proposed by Arkansas authorities to deal with lynchers of Frank Livinston, Negro, recently discharged from United States army who, according to press dispatches, was tied to a tree and burned to death by mob near Eldorado, Arkansas, on May 21st, accused of murdering his employer and the latter's wife following a quarrel. Press dispatches state that Sheriff Craig of Union county arrived a few minutes too late to prevent the lynching but that no arrests were made.
This is the second lynching to occur in your state within thirty days, in both of which cases the crime charged was murder, for which the laws of Arkansas provide ample punishment. May we suggest that you, as a professed leader of Southern liberal opinion, as former president of the Southern Sociological Congress which ten days ago passed strong resolutions against lynching, and as former chairman of the Southern University Race Commission which also has condemned lynching, have a special duty as a man, no less than as governor, to proceed energetically in defense of the laws of your state and in condemnation of the barbarity which is increasingly disgracing America.
MADAM C. J. WALKER WEALTHIEST NEGRO WOMAN IN THE WORLD IS DEAD
NOTED PHILANTHROPIST, PRESIDENT OF THE MADAM C. J WALKER MFG. CO. AND THE LEILA COLLEGE, INDIANAPOLIS. IND.
Starting the manufacture of this preparation in Denver, in 1905, Madame Walker and her daughter Leila, moved the business to Pittsburg three years later and finally settled in Indianapolis in 1910. Since then it has grown by leaps and bounds with agents in the West Indies and South America.
Madame Walker's home here is valued at $250,000. She operated a factory in Indianapolis, Ind., where she employed 350 persons. Her motto: "Find out what the people want and supply the need," gave her a tremendous success in business.
For a time she published the Afro-American, a newspaper whose advertising and news columns extolled her hair tonic in a thousand ways. All surplus cash was spent on advertising and she soon established a hugely successful business.
Next she established beauty parlors. Beauty schools were the next step and her New York school turned out 160 beauty doctors a year. She employed her own attorney and had more than 400 agencies, some of them in the West Indies and in South America.
About a year ago she moved from her $50,000 home in New York City to her $250,000 home on the Hudson. Her home furnishings, while elaborate and expensive, were in excellent taste. She gave her daughter, Leila, a $4,500 bedroom suite. She had a player organ, a gold-leafed piano, a gold-leafed harp and a gold-leafed phonograph, with various other phonographs.
Her charities were extensive. She maintained six students a year at the Tuskegee Institute and gave checks in the amount of thousands to many charities, Y. M. C. A. institutions, and war relief enterprises. It is generally believed in the circle of those who were intimately acquainted with her, that her mansion may be devoted to either educational or charitable purposes. She was very sympathetic and always found time to assist fallen humanity whom she delighted to restore to a possible chance of recovery. Is it to be wondered at that she was thrice blessed with this world's goods? No! and her life and death will be a guiding star in the lives of her people.
She leaves a daughter, Leila, after whom her college is named. Her death is deplored by a large body of Denver citizens, many of whom were acquainted with the deceased when she was a resident here. We extend degenest sympathy and sincere condolence to the bereaved family.—R. I. P.

NATIONAL HISTORIACL ART LEAGUE
(Special to The Colorado Statesman.)
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 26.—Mrs. Fannie R. Givens, of Louisville, Ky., one of the race's most public-spirited women, has formulated a remarkable program for the National Historic Art League, of which she is president and manager. She has just been granted a choice site on the campus of Howard University, upon which is to be erected a $100,000 National Historical Art Gallery and Free School of Art for Colored Americans. Plans for the magnificent structure are now being prepared by a leading architect and Mrs. Givens is about to launch here a nation-wide "drive" for the necessary funds to make the building a reality. Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, the progressive president of Howard University, is enthusiastic in praise of the new movement and has accepted a place on the board of directors of the Art League.
The building is to contain a superb collection of the work the Negro race is doing in art, science, literature, music, commerce and industry, in re-

Born Delta, La., 1867. Died Irvington-on-Hudson, May 25, 1919. A prominent, useful character cut off in the height of her career. Started business career in Denver, by making toilet articles. Madame C. J. Walker, said to have been the wealthiest Negro woman in the world, died at her home here after an illness of several weeks. Madame Walker was born in Delta, La., in 1867. For many years she has been prominent as a philanthropist and had taken a prominent part in all movements for the advancement of the interests of the Negro race. Her wealth was derived from the manufacture of several toilet preparations, which found a ready sale among members of her own race.
separation in Denver, in 1905, Madame loved the business to Pittsburgh three dianapolis in 1910. Since then it has agents in the West Indies and South valued at $250,000.

ligion, in education, and its services on the battlefield in defense of the flag. Heroic figures from every state will be memorialized by statuary, paintings and records of achievement, and there will be rare relics indicative of the progress of the Negro in the United States, Africa, South America, and the islands of the sea. Every phase of racial endeavor will be represented and stimulated by this display. This building will be the first in the world to permanently show the real development of the Negro people, and it should serve as an inspiration for all time.
Already, through Mrs. Givens' energetic presentation of its historical and cultural value, there has been installed in the beautiful Western Colored Library at Louisville, Ky., a temporary exhibit of Negro art, and the city officials have been so profoundly impressed with this initial effort that the colored exhibit has been furnished with a special attendant, paid out of the funds for the support of the city library, and they stand pledged to aid in expanding the plan to nation-wide proportions.
The standing of the Art League is happily attested by the distinguished character of its officers. Mrs. Fannie R. Givens, herself an artist of the

front rank, is president; Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, is chairman of the board of directors; Prof. W. T. S. Jackson, of Dunbar High School, is treasurer; Mrs. A. J. Dickinson, of the federal service, is secretary; Prof. L. B. Moore, of Howard University, is corresponding secretary, and Dr. C. H. Parrish, president of the State University, Louisville, Ky., is assistant treasurer. At Louisville, one of the major displays is the wonderful collection of art treasures gathered by Dr. Parrish some years ago while journeying through the Holy Land and Egypt. Mrs. Givens is now in Washington, devoting her entire time to the work and she will make due announcement of the date of the monster mass meeting at which the "drive" for the $100,000 will be inaugurated. She is much gratified over the warm welcome that has been accorded her wherever she has spoken for the great cause for which her life stands—the higher artistic development of the Negro race.
REWARD OF $5,000 TO PREVENT A LYNCHING.
Easton, Md., May 3.—Judge Adkins of this county has offered a reward of $5,000 to any man or group of men who would bring Isaiah Fountain, charged with assault, into court uninjured. He instructed the sheriff to swear in every man in the county as a deputy to "protect this prisoner even to the point of death, so the honor of this county may be vindicated."
WOULD GRANT BALLOT
TO WHITE WOMEN ONLY
Atlanta, Ga.—The City Democratic Executive Committee unanimously voted Saturday to grant to white women the right to cast ballots in primary elections. Suffrage leaders declared this afternoon that the committee's action forecast "unrestricted rights for women."
LAND WORTH $30,000,000 GIVEN
TO NEGROES.
Tahlequah, Okla., May 3.—Cherokee Indians have entered suits to recover from the government $3,000,-000, said to be due as interest on an old claim adjudicated some years ago and in the matter of compensation of lands of their race allotted to the Cherokee freedmen. This land was turned over to Negroes by the government, and is said to be worth $30,000,000.
WILL GIVE $300,000 TO NEGRO
INSTITUTION.
On Condition That $200,000 More Be Raised by the Freedmen's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
The Carnegie Foundation and the General Education Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church today offered separate gifts of $150,000, $300,000 in all, to the Meharry Medical College of Nashville, Tenn., an institution for Negroes, on condition that the Freedmen's Aid Society and the trustees and friends of the college raise an additional $200,000 for

Meharry College, which last year had an enrollment of 499 students, is the largest medical, dental and pharmaceutical college for Negroes in the world. Two hundred and fifty of its graduates served in the medical service of the United States army during the war.
THE COLORED WOMAN WORKER
A STUDY has recently been completed under the joint direction of several labor and social agencies of the colored women in industry in the City of New York. The heavy drain upon labor during the war made it necessary and possible for the colored woman to enter industry for the first time. Colored women are now found in the garment trades, paper box factories, in establishments making leather goods, fashioning hats, dyeing furs, etc., according to the report recently published.
It is interesting to note, among other things, that 28 per cent of the colored women workers interviewed were native to New York City and the remainder come from the British West Indies. Seventy per cent of them were under 26 and the proportion of colored women under 16 is smaller than among the white women. Of the 175 women questioned 68 per cent were single. As to education, it appeared that they possessed a higher average of education than among white women in the occupations. Of the colored women 25 per cent as against 63 per cent of white women had received seven years or less of school. Only 4 per cent of the whites had attended high school as against 13 per cent of the colored. One reason for this is pointed out in the difficulty with which the colored woman finds in getting work.
A number of the women had been specially trained as stenographers. These finally became discouraged on account of race prejudice and entered factories to do unskilled monotonous work. Most of the industries had employed colored women for the first time during the war. The extent to which the colored woman has replaced the white is hard to determine, but as the whites have moved up the scale of wage and skill, the colored without industrial experience have taken their places.
There were no startling discoveries made as to the hours which colored women are working except as elevator operators. About 50 per cent of women replacing men as elevator operators in New York City are colored. This work carried with it a ten or twelve-hour day, with night shifts and seven days a week.
Lack of understanding of the value of collective bargaining has caused the colored women to accept low wages. In nearly every case in the needle trades white workers received from $2 to $5 a week more than their colored sisters. The same was true generally in the other trades.
What is to become of the colored woman industrial worker with the return to peace is looked upon with considerable misgiving in the conclusion of the report.

There is great interest here in Tampico oil fields and many operators are making ar-

This statement is borne out by recent letter advices from our Mr. Guthrey telling of a
busy week in Tampico, financially, by reason of the visit of two groups of men: one com-
posed of officers and technical men of a California company and on the day to New York
via Havana; the other composed of twelve bankers and oil land investors with the repre-
sentatives of a New York company which is already heavily interested in Tampico and will
probably put in pipe lines in connection with another company’s investments.
The American invasion is becoming so pronounced it is barely possible to secure offices,
rooms or living quarters.
A fully established Publicity Bureau of Boston advises of quickened interest in oils in
the East; of sharp activity on the Curb Market in Texas oils; of inquiries on Capitol and what
it means to fully realize being interested in the World’s Richest Oil Fields.

Heart of vast cattle empire now leased to the extent of many aeres. Big companies pre-

leases in Panhandle.
Capitol Petroleum has 6,000 acres in the heart of the Panhandle and Standard California
type rig bought and being erected on choice location.
This recent acquisition in itself will make our stock worth $1.00 or more per share, and
added to this what our company has in Kansas, Oklahoma and Mexico certainly makes this
stock a most attractive investment at the pres'ent price of 25 cents. We urge our friends to

COLONEL SIMMONS CHARMS
HOOSIERS.
Indianapolis, Ind., May 23.—Roscoe
Conkling Simmons never spoke with
more power or eloquence, nor with
more wisdom than when he spoke at
Tomlinson hall, this eity, on ‘Thursday
evening, A multitude of his ardent ad-
mirers enjoyed him as he delivered
what many believe to have been the
wisest and most eloquent speech In-
dianapolis has heard.
For two and a half hours he sur-
veyed the world through eyes of the
most advanced representatives of his
race, and with a speech beyond that
of any orator in America.
Speaks of “Lieut. Jim.”
“Let me speak in the beginning,” he
said, “of the murder of James Reese
Europe, a bright particular star in the
recent Story of my race. He died at
the hands of a vagabond whom he had
befriended; died at the moment of his
greatest fame, when his own and all
the world were eager to bestow upon |
him the honors won through years of
labor and sacrifice. He was killed be-
cause one black man hated to take or-
ders from a superior black man.”
‘The tribute that the orator paid to
the great composer was a touching one.
“There is a lesson in this death for
you and for me,” he declared. “It is
that slavery dies as hard within as
from without, and that empty are our
words about progress until we can act
as well as talk equality.” |
Adding Nor Taking Away. |
“IT will tell my story,” declared the
orator, “Twill tell my story as It 1s, |
adding nothing apd taking nothing
away. I will speak of things T saw
and heard. T cannot tell it all, but all|
I do remember. I recollect that one
day in Verdun, In that Verdun against
which the Germans moved without |
avail for four years, I saw a brown
boy dressed in the uniform of my:
country and his. He was handsome |
and tall. His eye was as bright as the |
winter sun that poured its glory down |
from the free sky of France. He had
a medal on his proud bosom. 1 asked |
him what he was doing standing there.
“On guard,’ he replied. So far from |
home, I thought, and on guard for the
land that gave him birth, T wondered
who save God could be on guard for)
his mother in Baton Rouge, from
whose bounds he had been called to
speed away and guard the mystic city
thirteen centuries old. Here is the les-
son, I said; where are the pupils?"

Beware of Compromises.
One temptation in making difficult
decisions is to compromise. You aren't
‘sure which way is the best, you seek
to combine the advantages of both, and
‘many a time merely combine all the
disadvantages. To be sure, there are
‘times when a compromise is the wisest
‘course, but there are just as many
‘times when it is cowardice and weak-
‘ness. How can one tell which times
are which? Well, that is simply an-
other decision for you.
Provide Playground.
‘The truly normal, mischief-loving
youngster (and all healthy children
are both) simply cannot live withour
play. If this ts denied him he will
droop like a flower transplanted into
unhealthy soil. However, if he finds
{t difficult to keep on friendly terms
with his small neighbors his mother
must see to it that he has his own
playground at home, It won't cost

it will prove an investment that will

MEMORIAL DAY AT HOME AND ABROAD.
HIS DAY OF DAYS, marking an ever-memorable event, which seems to
Tranves a thought that becomes deeper, firmer, more precious ax exch
succeeding year of its celebration arouses the nation to a conselousness
that the mockery of democracy must cease and the spirit of Amerten—the
spirit that shall permeate the world, ALL MANKIND BEING BORN FREE
AND EQUAL, must prevail, thus thrusting the gloom that o’erhangs onr
nition aside and bringing us into a realization of that civilization which Gad
and Nature decreed from the beginning of creation,
With the cooperation of governors, mayors, state and local educational
authorities and Grand Army Reserve Posts in all parts of the country, the
National Security League announced a completion of plans for a nation-wide
special celebration of Memorial Day, and yesterday the keynote of the ob-
servances was a combination of reverence for service and sacrifice in past
witrs, with special recognition of the recently returned veterans of the world
War and those left on the battle-searred fields of France. ‘The services in
the churches, the ceremonies at the cemeteries, the continuous stream of rela-
lives, friends and acquaintances to the graves and tombs of their departed,
lent 4 touching spectacle far greater than former years, as in the bowels of
Mother Earth the remains of many victims of disease, wounds, ete. of the
world’s great war gave a forcible reminder of the toll paid for the reseuing
and freeing of the world of man’s inhumanity to man, But the lesson of
yonder European battlefield must be taught again, if man, especially in our
own United States, continues his disrespect for Jaw and honor; and the cele-
bration of Memorial Day being meaningless to him, he becoming callous in his
uncivilized and sayage-like habits to the extent of distrust by the world of
nations abroad, at lust bows to the inevitable, which compels the man,
the people, the nation to Surrender at a cost the magnitude of which surpasses
the greatest enlculation,
MEMORIAL DAY! Yes, a day when every heart wrung with sorrow for
the passing away of a loved one, should pulsate in unison with other hearts,
and if the woeful thoughts that flashed with electrical rapidity could find a
solace in other hearts in their acknowledgment of the common lot of man,
then such a harmonious relationship, such an international spirit, would exist
between us that the spirit of fear would forever be absent from our existence,
the theme of racial superiority forgotten, und the blessing of freedom unit-
ing hearts and minds into one common human family would extend its mighty
Influence over a world that would turn this event from sadness to glidness,
und from the blackness of darkness Into an effulgence of marvelous light.
MADAM ©. J. WALKER DIES.
“Leaves have their time to full,
And flowers to wither with the north wind’s breath;
But thou! thou hast all seasons for thine own, O death !°
HE mutability of human life and human institutions compels a thought
Toit makes us pause in our busy deliberations, our business transie-
tions, our inultiplied interests in things temporal, and though this comes
with clock-like regularity, yet It strikes us with an awful dread, an unfamiliar
strain, the resonance of which seems so inharmonious whenever we are con-
fronted with the experience,
Madam Walker, who passed from this life last Sunday morning, was an-
other example of what perseverance, thrift, business system and method could
accomplish among the people of her race, and her individual character, home
life and conduct as a citizen seemed to us to be the trinity working in unity,
that actunted her success, making her so conspicuous as to merit universil
adiniration, Following the career of this distinguished deceased representa-
tive of our race, and a citizen who came in for recognition from all classes,
we find every action in her business relationship lending an inspiration which
Was profitable to those who followed her, und her many wise sayings and gen-
tle admonitions to the members of her race gave un incentive for business
activities on lines that won respect in the market of competition, Slowly
and steadily she climbed the financial ladder of fame, then discovering the
virtue of advertising, she unhesitatingly grasped the opportunity and rapidly
rose to a woman of weulth and possibly the greatest of her race. But with
her original qualities she could not be separated from her acts of merey and
love, and therefore in her quiet, unassuming way she became prominent for
her works of philanthropy, engaging in every movement for the advancement
of the Interests of her people.
Oh how sud that she should be snatched from us in the height of her
usefulness, and in the performance of such great services to her people, which
would be of such value as to help to destroy the hand of oppression that
seems to fall heavier as we give proof of our ability to do! We can hardly
have the conception that this leader, helper and friend Is gone from us, but as
it Is suid, “Every cloud has a silver lining,” we believe there was never a
regret so, profound that there was not somewhere in the gloom a comforting
spirit—no sorrow ever so acute and helpless that some solacing thought did
not creep In to soothe the anguish of the heart.
We can remember her as one who had no pretense or affectation in her
nature. She disliked notoriety und despised hypocrisy. Many of her acts of”
service to humanity had never been heralded by the press, but Madam Walker
believed in and her life exemplified the sentiment: “This aboye all—to thine
own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou cunst not
then be false to any man.”
SHE IS GONE, Denyer mourns her loss and shares the sorrows of In-
dianapolis and New York, the deceased having spent several years of her
life here; and THE COLORADO STATESMAN on behalf of our citizens,
bowing in humble submission to the God Who gives and takes, in offering
deepest sympathy to Madam Walker's daughter, Leila, and other relatives,
can only say in its overwhelming grief at this time, that the life of the de-
ceased will serve as a permanent institution In our tives, and after drying
our tears, we will find consolation in the words of a great writer: “When I
go down to the grave I can say, like many others, ‘I have finished my day's
work. But I cannot say I have finished my life. My day's work will begin
again the next morning. ‘The tomb is not a blind alley; it is a thoroughfare,
It closes on the twilight; it opens on the dawn.” |
Few Jews Will Emigrate to Palestine
From America and Great Britain
By OSCAR S. STRAUS, New York Banker
I am not a Zionist, but I am in hearty sympathy
with Zionism’s idealistic enterprise. Nevertheless I am
convinced that the number of Jews who will emigrate
to Palestine from, let us say, Great Britain or the
United States is infinitesimal.
Jews in Britain and America have become pros-
perous and patriotic citizens and in numerous cases
prominent figures in the life of those countries. Mil-
lions of them, though Jewish by faith and ancestry, are
native-born citizens and feel themselves, as they are
entitled to do, full-fledged Britons or Americans, as
€& il a
a
the case may be. I think events of the past four years amply demon-
strated that their claims in this respect are justified. ‘The Jewish war
“record in the United States, I am proud to say, was a splendid one. I am
sure it was equally creditable in Great Britain.
Jews are domiciled in large numbers in the two great English-
speaking countries and become integral parts of them because of the
opportunities for spiritual freedom which they have so long offered. Why
should Jews dieert such an environment? I cannot conceive any circum-
stances under which considerable numbers of Jews will ever leave British
or American shores.
T am told that anti-Zionists frequently suggest that, with the estab-
lishment of a special Jewish state, Jewish citizens of other countries might
some day find themselves political outcasts and be told to “go back to
your owi country.” :
Nonsense! Stuff and nonsense! ‘To suggest such a thing is to erect
a ridiculous bogey. ‘To carry out such a suggestion would be to set back
the wheels of liberty which the war we have fought and won have set
so far ahead,
We rejoice in New Palestine’s foundation. We believe in its legiti-
macy. We are confident that sooner or later its mission will be accom-
plished—namely, to afford a comfortable, happy, prosperous national
home for the oppressed Jews of all lands. It is because British and
American Jews are not oppressed Jews that they will not go to Palestine
Time Is Ripe for National Financing
of the Movement for Farm Homes
By LAJOS STEINER, War Trade Board
The present appears to be the opportune time to furnish natives and
immigrants, soldiers and the others who are qualified a reliable deposi-
tory in which to accumulate their savings for the acquisition in time, on
acceptable terms, of farm homes.
Hotnes in farm communities, equipped with buildings, live stock and
implements, at fair prices and terms are bound to improve conditions. An
initial investment of $1,000 (and much of that should be waived for
our returning soldiers) should be sufficient for a fully equipped farm
home to be taken possession of by qualified families. The balance of the
purchace price to be paid out of crops in a long series of years, with a
reasonable rate of interest.
Agricultural communities on the Buropean village system, with
American improvements, should be established, financed and adminis-
tered. ‘This would dispose of the dreaded isolation. Churches, schools,
meeting halls, moving pictures, ete., could be provided for the settlers
living in villages. ‘This would complete their Americanization. ‘The com-
munity wood lot, pasture, thrashing and other machinery, blooded stallion,
bull, boar, ete., co-operation in cases of emergency, the co-operative pur-
chase of commodities and selling of farm products assure success.
Inasmuch as governmental action is considered to be paternalistic
and undesirable, a national corporation chartered by our federal govern-
ment and our several states should be established by our great financiers.
This would secure the confidence of the clients.
Farm ownership is the foundation of stable government, of loyal
citizenship and of the welfare of the population. Our safety and pros-
perity rest on the largest possible number of contented farm home owners.
The acquisition of farm homes should be encouraged, aided and assisted
in the proper and practical manner. The single family owners of farm
homes in thriving agricultural communities are obviously the best remedy
for our economic ills and remigration.
Five Million Europeans Have Their Eyes
Fixed on America for Homes
By F. C. HOWE, New York Immigration Commissioner
Five million Europeans, wearied by the war but still awakened to
new points of view by it, are turning their eyes and thoughts to new homes
across the sea.
If they can find these homes in the United States they will flock
here the moment the opportunity is afforded. Otherwise they will remain
where they are. Canada, Australia or South America are not considered
for an instant by the great majority.
France has her thousands ready to come. Italy has even more, and
England will be largely represented when a propitious time has come. But
it is Germany that has the most numerous and most eager company of
those who would be emigrants to this country.
‘The American doughboy is responsible for the new and fervent con-
sideration Europeans are giving the United States. With his head up,
a grin on his tanned face and his long legs swinging in a stride that seems
never to tire, the American doughboy is altogether the most lovable, the
most worth while man in Europe. He does things that nobody else has
been able to do; he goes to places that everybody else thinks cannot pos-
sibly be reached. There isn’t a corner in Europe that the man in khaki
hasn’t looked into; there isn’t a job that he hasn’t tackled and completed.
The European peoples want the things, the opportunities of the United
States, whence came the American doughboy, their new idol.
It is curious that no other land in the world seems to promise them
what they are sure they will find here. Not Canada, nor Australia, nor
the Argentine or any other country of South America. Politically or
by tradition these lands are too closely bound to Europe, and they want
no more of the old Europe.

THE COLORADO STATESMAN
Sherman Keene of Eaton, Colorado, is in the city for a few days. He reports everything in flourishing condition and our people are doing well.
Born, to Mr. and Mrs. James Thomas of 520 Columbine street, a 10-pound baby boy. Mother and babe are doing nicely.
entreaties of the pastor for unity with the Greater Brother, and the frater organization felt a renewal of the spirit for more active work in the community as well as an inspiration to more effective work. A large offer was taken up—the same being devoted to charitable purposes.
E. V. Cammel, the local head of
W. E. Huntley left for the Stanley Hotels, Estes Park, last Wednesday, resigning his position as second waiter at the University Club after nearly a year's service. This is Mr. Huntley's third season at the Estes Park and he hopes to make good again.
Mrs. Ernestine Stevens of Fort Smith, Ark., who is residing in Denver for a few months, underwent a serious operation at St. Joseph's Hospital last week Friday. The operation was performed by Doctors Huff and Martin, and present reports show a gradual improvement of the patient.
Mrs. Martin of Omaha, who underwent a serious operation at one of our hospitals, is reported to be gradually improving. Having taken suddenly ill one week after her arrival in Denver the beginning of April. Much sympathy is extended towards her by our people who never forget the stranger.
Rev. E. W. Moore of Columbus, Ohio, and former pastor of Zion Baptist Church, attended the Northern Baptist Conference here and was the guest of Mr. A. A. Waller. Many friends and acquaintances were glad to meet him and express their best wishes for his success in the ministry.
Mr. and Mrs. Pinn have purchased a beautiful Ford Roadster, which for beauty and durability is the equal of any of the other manufactures on styles. "Just for two," says Mr. Pinn, as the size of the family does not warrant a touring car. Slowly but surely our well known business man and wife are coming into their own again.
The Denver Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. opened its drive for 700 members with a great meeting at Zion Baptist Church. Miss Emily Griffith of the Opportunity School, delivered the principal address and Miss Rhoda Anderson Chambers charmed the audience with one of her rich selections. Denver is going over the top in this drive which closes with a big meeting at Shorter Church, Sunday, June 8th.
The annual special service of the Spanish-American War Veterans, which is generally held the Sunday preceding Decoration day, was held at Shorter Church last Sunday when an invitation was extended to all men who were in service during the war as well as those in the recuperation camp. The Rev. A. M. Ward spoke very impressively upon our soldier representatives, past and present, and emphasized the necessity of the military disciplinary training as a guidance for systematic action in the lines of the members of our race which will help us to stand shoulder to shoulder with any other race. The whole service was acceptably rendered, meriting the enjoyment of the large congregation present.
Mrs. Mary E. Campbell, mother of Capt. Thos. Campbell and sister of Mr. Wm. G. Campbell, died at the residence of her son, 614 Delaware street, at 5 a. m. Thursday, May 29. The funeral will be held from her son's residence upon later announcement
She has a brother in Springfield, Mo., and a sister in Kansas City, Mo. She was born in Polk County, Missouri, and moved to Springfield, Mo., in the early 60's, where the family lived. She came to Denver about one year ago to make her home with her son. She was a good and loving mother and a pious Christian and great church worker, being one of the founders of the A. M. E. church in Springfield, Mo. The Colorado Statesman tenders its sincere sympathy to Capt. and Mrs. Campbell and Wm. G.
The annual thanksgiving celebration of the United Brothers of Friendship and the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten was held at Campbell A. M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon. A splendid program was rendered and the sermon by the Rev. I. B. Wilson, pastor of the church, gave a very forcible reminder of what is required of those who unite themselves with the idea and for the purpose of doing good unto all men. Many truths were brought home to the large audience visibly affected by the
entreaties of the pastor for unity with the Greater Brother, and the fraternal organization felt a renewal of the spirit it for more active work in the community as well as an inspiration for more effective work. A large offering was taken up—the same being devoted to charitable purposes. E. V. Cammel, the local head of the order, carried out his part as master of ceremonies satisfactorily while the songs and other items were beautifully rendered. This ended another chapter in the life of the U. B. F. and S. M. T.
BOY SCOUT WEEK JUNE 8-14.
This organization is taking hold on the hearts of the people and at last they are beginning to realize that the care of the youth is the greatest help to the life of the man.
The Boy Scout movement has become a national concern with us in America and having attracted the attention of the President, the Congress, and many of the leading business heads of the country, special attention is being given it, and in accordance with government proclamation the week of June 8-14 will be set apart to assist in reaching 10,000,000 boys between the ages of 12 and 21 to fit them for that manhood which uplifts a people and builds a nation. During this Boy Scout week it is the purpose of the campaign to acquire 1,000,000 associate members who will contribute $1 or more to assist in the upkeep of this great cause which of necessity must bring precious and wonderful results. The local Scout movement among our boys is in the hands of a district committee—L. H. Lightner being president and Chas. A. Clark, secretary, who can be reached personally or by communication at office of American Woodmen, Arapahoe building, and 2520 Lafayette street, respectively. A more worthy cause cannot be thought of than to START EARLY WITH OUR BOYS.
H. J. FOSTER LAID TO REST.
A most impressive funeral service marked the last sad rites performed over the body of the late H. J. Foster, the event being under the auspices of Rocky Mountain Lodge No. 1, Masonic fraternity. Silently the procession starting from the residence in Lafayette street, moved towards Shorter Church, escorted by the members of the order in regular formation. Here the cortege was met by Revs. A. Milton Ward, Stripling and Secretary Bell of the Y. M. C. A., the ceremony being performed by them. The obituary sent from New York from the pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, spoke in glowing terms of the deceased, the same offering quite a consolation to the bereaved family. Prayer by the Rev. Stripling, Scripture Lesson by Secretary Bell and address by the Rev. Ward, a solo by Madam Lillian Hawkins-Jones, after which the Masonic brethren gave the rite to the severed link in their chain bringing a very sad event to a close. The deceased, who was formerly in the employ of Mr. Turnbull, was looked after in the best manner possible. The body came to Denver in an oak casket and three-quarter oak case, while the floral offerings were many and beautiful. A large assembly of friends and acquaintances paid their last respect to the bier, thence borne to its final resting place at Fairmount cemetery under the direction of the Douglass undertakers. The Colorado Statesman offers its sincere condolence to the bereaved widow and other relatives commending them to God's gracious care and keeping.
OBITUARY.
Brother H. J. Foster was born fifty-three years ago in North Carolina and departed this life in full triumph of the Christian faith about 4:30 o'clock Monday morning, May 19th.
When a small boy the deceased went to Helena, Montana, where he spent the major part of his early manhood. He then settled in Denver, Colorado. He perhaps loved Denver better than any spot in the world. He was fascinated with its healthy climate and unsurpassed natural scenery. Here he had the largest circle of friends. Here is the Rocky Mountain Lodge, No. 1, F. A. M., of which he was a member. Here, as he told me a few days ago, he spent the happiest years of his life and here he desired his remains to be buried.
For twenty-five years Mr. Foster was chef on the private car of Mr. Frank Trumbell, president of the C. & S. R. R. The fact that he held this important position for a quarter of a century speaks louder for his industry, honesty and efficiency than any words his best friends can utter. He was not only an employee of President Trumbell, but Mr. Trumbell and all the family were his personal friends. Everything that could
possibly be done to reinstate his health was done by the Trumbell family. The world is greatly agitated today about the labor problem. This agitation would disappear in less than five years if the relation that existed between Mr. Trumbell and Mr. Foster could be established between all employers and employés. The position of the deceased carried him not only all over the United States, but through Canada and Mexico. Very few men of our race are as well acquainted with the American continent as was Mr. Foster.
Seven years ago the deceased was united in holy matrimony to Miss Henrietta Howard, who comes from one of the best families of the race, by Dr. Jenkins of Waco, Texas. Theirs was one of the happiest marriages that has come under my observation during my twenty-seven years in the ministry. They were absolutely devoted to each other and gave every evidence that they were not only joined together by Dr. Jenkins, but by the Lord Himself. Mrs. Foster is not only an ideal woman but an unusual wife. One son is the onlyother relative that survives the deceased.
In the fall of 1917, Mr. Foster was happily converted to Christianity and on Sunday morning, December 30th, of the same year, was baptized into the fellowship of the Abyssinian Baptist Church. From that day on he grew more and more into the affections of our membership because of his devotion to the church and many Christian qualities which he constantly manifested. One of his last acts the day before passing away was to send a contribution to his church. The pastor will not only miss him as a member, but as a personal friend.
While Mr. and Mrs. Foster only lived in New York five years, they did not have warmer friends any place on the American continent than here. These friends will ever hold in their memory a picture of his splendid physical, mental, moral and spiritual manhood. And Mrs. Foster will nowhere find more sympathetic hearts and homes with a warmer welcome than in this city where her husband took his departure for that city that "hath foundations whose builder and maker is God." We do not think of Brother Foster as being dead. He has simply entered into a larger and better life. "He dead! Say the same of the sunshine When evening comes over the hill, Say music is dead, when in slumber, The hand of the player is still.
Behold the dimmed splendor has broken
In morning, eternal and calm,
And listen! the player is sweeping
The chords of an infinite psalm."

MRS. I. W. WILSON, WIFE OF WELL KNOWN FORMER DENVERITE, PASSES AWAY AT CROWLEY, COLO.
Mrs. Wilson, the wife of I. W. Wilson, residing just west of Crowley, died at the family home on Tuesday night. Her death was partly due to an attack of the influenza which she had at Christmas time and from which she never fully recovered. The funeral services will be conducted at Crowley at the school house where church services have been held, at 2 o'clock this Friday afternoon, and interment will be made in the Olney Springs cemetery. The services had been arranged for Thursday afternoon, but a sister of Miss Wilson sent word that she would be here and the services were arranged for today.
Mrs. Wilson is survived by her husband and three children, Sherman and Arthur and Denella. She also has a brother and a sister living.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are among the best known people in Crowley county and have resided in the county for twenty years. Their ranch is located just west of Crowley and north of King Center, where they have prospered in their work and made friends by their thrift and pleasant ways. They are among the few colored residents of the county and they have been held in high esteem by all who know them. Mr. Wilson is among the most prosperous of the farmers of this vicinity and has taken a great pride, as did his wife, in their home and their family.
Mrs. Wilson was born at Paris, Mo., in 1865, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ham Campbell. She and Mr. Wilson were married in Denver, March 7, 1888.
The last words of Mrs. Wilson, knowing that she was about to die, were, "The Lord came and blessed my soul and left the Comforter with me. Meet me on the other shore."—Ordway New Era, Friday, May 16th.
I. W. Wilson was formerly a resident of Denver and left this city twenty years ago to take up farming in Crowley county, and is today one of the most prosperous colored farmers in this state.
Mr. Wilson is a worthy member of Rocky Mountain Lodge No. 1, F. & A. M., of Denver, to which he has been loyal and true for twenty-five years.
We extend to him and family our deepest sympathy upon their loss.

ROSES THRIVE AND GIVE SATISFACTORY RESULTS IN ANY OPEN, SUNNY POSITION
THE ROSE BOTTLE
Hybrid Tea Roses Furnish an Abundance of Cut Flowers.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
If a vote were taken to ascertain the most popular flower, without a doubt the rose would receive a regular landslide victory over the rest of the floral candidates. Not only does "the queen of flowers" possess beauty of form and color together with delicious fragrance, but a rose is equally beautiful on the bush or cut and used for decorative purposes. Many people are deterred from growing and enjoying roses because of the seeming difficulties of cultivation—difficulties which are eliminated if varieties suitable to the climate, soil and location are chosen.
For the rose chafer frequent picking or screening with netting affords the only means venting their destructive woe the sucking insects a solitary per cent nicotine sulphate, pp fish-oil soap, kerosene emu lime-sulphur, applied in a fin is best, or if a garden hose able a strong stream of water remove the rose aphis. Powder phur or bordeaux mixture are mended in the control of the Farmers' Bulletin 750 gives directions for growing roses home garden.
Roses will grow and give good returns in any fertile, well-drained ground, but if the highest quality is desired it is necessary to select an open, sunny position, sheltered from north winds and clear of the roots of trees and shrubs. A soil capable of growing good garden or field crops is suitable for roses. The best soil is sod from an old pasture and well-rotted cow manure. Of the commercial fertilizers, ground bone is excellent to add as additional food, but will not answer as a substitute for compost. Cottonseed meal, wood ashes, lime and muriate of potash may be used. Dig out the bed to a depth of two or three feet, and if drainage is imperfect improve it by putting six inches to one foot of broken stones, cinders or any rough material in the bottom and providing an adequate outlet. Fill it with a mixture of soil and manure. It is better to make the beds some time in advance of planting to allow time for them to settle.
Can Plant in Spring.
In some parts of the United States fall planting has advantages over spring. Spring planting should be done as soon as the ground is dry enough to work, fall planting as soon as the leaves have fallen from the trees and bushes. Stock should be planted as soon as possible after it arrives. If the plant roots are dry when received soak them in water an hour or more. When ready to set the plants should be taken to the permanent location with roots thoroughly covered, no matter how short the distance. More plants are killed by undue exposure of roots at planting time than from any other cause.
Plant a little deeper than they were at the nursery. Trim off broken roots and any that are too long just before putting into the hole, which should be several inches larger across than the roots will extend and ample in depth, with a little loose earth on the bottom. Work the soil between the separated roots with the hand. When the roots are well covered the soil should be firmed.
When all are planted each may be watered, although this is not necessary if the roots have been soaked before planting. After planting do not water unless very dry weather follows and take care even then not to overdo it till after growth starts.
When and How to Prune.
When and How to Prune.
Roses should be planted far enough apart to reach maturity without crowding. At time of planting one-half to two-thirds of the wood should be removed. As far as practical, after cutting weak branches and canes which are too long, cut out whole branches rather than to cut off ends. After the first year pruning should consist in removing dead, dying or weak wood. All pruning of roses should be done in the spring.
The Hybrid Perpetuals, Hybrid Teas, Teas, Bengals, Bourbons and Chinas are the roses available for cut flowers. There is a multitude of varieties and everyone should be able to find some to his liking. The selection of varieties is best made after consultation with near-by growers or nurserymen who are familiar with local conditions. The size or age of the plant is largely a matter of choice. Three-year-old plants give the quickest results. Two-year-old plants transplant better than older ones and are rather more satisfactory. Cultivation should begin early and continue till within six weeks of the dormant season. At the first cultivation in the spring the winter manure mulch should be worked into the soil, or a good coating of manure specially applied. The first cultivation should be deep to incorporate the manure with the soil.
Insects Attack Roses.
Insects which commonly affect roses are of two general types, those which eat the foliage and those which suck the sap. For the first, a poison sprayed on both surfaces of the leaves is effectual for most kinds.
For the rose chafer frequent hand-picking or screening with mosquito netting affords the only means of preventing their destructive work. For the sucking insects a solution of 40 per cent nicotine sulphate, pyrethrum, fish-oil soap, kerosene emulsion, or lime-sulphur, applied in a fine spray, is best, or if a garden hose is available a strong stream of water will remove the rose aphis. Powdered sulphur or bordeaux mixture are recommended in the control of mildew. Farmers' Bulletin 750 gives complete directions for growing roses in the home garden.
REMOVAL OF SCORCH STAINS
Extension Specialists of Department of Agriculture Make Some Practical Suggestions.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
If you have the misfortune to scorch a garment while ironing, United States department of agriculture extension specialists suggest the following:
Scorch upon cotton and linen sometimes can be removed if the fibers are not actually burned. Wool and silk are disintegrated at a lower temperature than cotton and linen and cannot be restored to their original condition after being scorched.
For removing slight scorch stains from cotton and linen, use one of the following agents:
Laundry Soap and Water.—This is sufficient to remove very slight stains. Water and Sunlight.—Wet the spot with water (or soap and water) and expose to the sun for a day, or longer, if necessary. The scorch disappears much more slowly if the material is not moistened before exposure. Bread Crust.—Very slight scorches on the surface of materials which are not especially delicate sometimes can be rubbed away with a bread crust.
MANGLING TO HELP IRONING
Various Kinds of Towels and Small Sheets Run Through Ordinary Wringer is Favored.
Have you ever tried mangling your kitchen hand towels, dish towels, small sheets and wiping towels with an ordinary clothes wringer? Fold them when dampened and run through the wringer with the screws quite tight. Then hang on the clothes rack to dry. You will find this will lessen the work of ironing quite considerably, and no one would know the difference.
REPAIR WORN BUTTONHOLES
Reverse, Sew Up Buttonholes, Cover Buttons and Sew Them on Over Old Buttonholes.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
When buttonholes become worn on women's or children's coats, reverse, sew up buttonholes, cover buttons, and sew them on over the old buttonholes, and make new buttonholes on the reverse side of the coat. Or, if you prefer, fasten with loops of cord.
ALL AROUND
the HOUSE
Save rice water to make hasty pudding with, and cook the pudding all day in the fireless cooker.
When paraffin is taken off the top of jelly, etc., it should be melted at once to free it from the fruit.
When turning meat that is roasting use a spoon instead of a fork. The latter causes the juices to escape.
You will save fuel and have a better heated oven if the coal does not reach above the top of the fire bricks in your kitchen range.
Hardwood floors should never be cleaned with soap and water. Use equal parts of turpentine and benzine and do not use it sparingly.
Paint stains, even of long standing, can be removed by applying equal parts of turpentine and ammonia. Saturate the spot a few times with the mixture and wash out in soap suds.
MAY TRY TO PASS AN EXCLUSION BILL
CONGRESS IS ALMOST SURE TO ADOPT SOME IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION SOON.
IT'S A TICKLISH SUBJECT
Northern Members Not So Free to Act as the Southerners—Bomb Plot Increases the Chances for a Drastic Measure.
By EDWARD B. CLARK
Washington.—Congress at its extra session will undertake immigration legislation, which at all times has been charged with dynamite, but which this time will be charged with TNT.
Immigration legislation scares every politician north of the Mason and Dixon line. Most southern representatives in congress can vote for total exclusion of all would-be immigrants and never stir more than a ripple of opposition among their constituents. Northern representatives cannot do this except in the cases of a few men who represent districts which to a considerable extent are constituted—barring the negro—like the constituencies of the South. Republicans and Democrats in congress have voted on many occasions against certain restrictive legislation of which at heart they were in favor. They voted as they did to save themselves at the polls.
When labor began the demand more drastic immigration legislation, congressmen paid heed and voted in considerable measure for the reading and writing restriction which finally became a law after the bill containing it had been vetoed three times. President Taft and President Wilson, men of opposite parties, did the vetoing, but the measure finally was passed by the required two-thirds majority over the present president's "I forbid."
May Offer Bill Like Burnett's
May Offer Bill Like Burnett's.
Representative Burnett, Democrat, of Alabama, in the last congress was chairman of the house committee on immigration. He proposed that no foreigner, with the exception of a certain few commercial classes and others, be permitted to come to this country for five years. It is probable that a measure of this kind will be introduced at the extra session of congress, but the chances are that it will not have Republican sanction. It will come in as an offset bill to be presented by some member who is willing to take a longer stride than his colleagues.
Recent anarchistic manifestations seem to have moved the Republican majority to a willingness to go farther in restrictive legislation than three weeks ago it was thought possible. It is impossible to say just what form the legislation will take, but the feeling is that while no time limit of absolute exclusion will be set, something will be done to prevent the entry into this country of men who are perfectly able to pass the reading and writing test, but who could not pass any test of loyalty to any existing form of government. The desire will be to keep out the anarchists and the potential anarchists, and it is admitted that the literacy test is of little avail with these classes.
Representative Burnett, who put in the five-year exclusion bill, received a bomb the other day through the mails. So did ex-Senator Hardwick of Georgia, who was active in immigration legislation. The fact that these two men were recipients of bombs will do something to make more determined the men of the coming congress who will have immigration matters in charge. Bombings and attempted bombings always work that way. They tend to bring about the things which the bomb senders and bomb throwers seek to prevent.
White House Made Whiter.
White House Made White.
Today in Washington the White House stands lonely. The only scenes of activity within its walls are, to make a bull, not within its walls, or certainly not within its walls proper, for the only life visible is in the offices of the annex where Secretary Joseph P. Tumulty and Assistant Secretaries Rudolph Forster and Thomas W. Brahaney and a big staff of clerical assistants dally are at work.
The White House has been treated to a new coat of paint, and it stands white and glistening in the May sunshine. Every second year, or, at the longest, every third year, the painters come and put a white overcoat on the old house. It was paint which gave the building the name of White House. As every American presumably knows, the White House grounds are directly opposite Lafayette square, separated therefrom by the broad reach of Pennsylvania avenue. In the absence of the president and his family visitors are not admitted to the White House, nor, in fact, have they been admitted for a long time because of existing war conditions. Soon, however, it is believed that restrictions will be off and that the old mansion with its treasures will be thrown open in all its parts except the actual living quarters to the visitors from here, there and everywhere.
From the White House to Lafayette square being only a step, nearly all the spring visitors, and their name is multitude, who are coming into Washington at this season turn after a view of the White House to wander through the square and then to look upon the fine old houses with their historic
memories which front the square from three sides, the fourth side being the White House side.
Interesting Houses Near By.
Interesting Houses Near By.
One can spend a whole day interestedly in this immediate section. At the corner of H street and Madison place, fronting Kosclusko's monument on Lafayette square, is the old Dolly Madison house, now the quarters of the scientific club known as the Cosmos club. After James Madison died his widow continued to occupy this house for many years and there she held her famous levees. The main part of the house is as it was in "Dolly's" day. The Cosmos club, however, has added to the original structure until now the scientists have plenty of room for the increasing membership of their organization.
Fronting Lafayette square from the north is a brown stone house which many years ago was the home of the British minister, for at that time Great Britain maintained a minister and not an ambassador in the capital of the United States. In a room of this house Owen Meredith, a nephew of Bulwer Lytton, wrote the somewhat famous poem of "Lucile," or at any rate it was here that he wrote a large part of it. At the corner of H street and Connecticut avenue is a fine old home with a large yard inclosed with a high brick wall. In this house Daniel Webster lived while he was secretary of state, and it was within its doors that the Ashburton treaty was considered and sanctioned by American officials.
At the corner of Jackson place and H street, fronting Lafayette square, is a large but plain brick house built and occupied at one time by Stephen Decatur. It was from this house that Decatur went forth to his duel with Commodore James Barron, a duel in which he met his death.
Gather for Extra Session.
Senators and representatives in congress we happen now to be at home are packing up their belongings preparatory to moving on Washington for the extra session. Many of the members of both houses already are here and are engaged in home seeking, for many a new one has no house except the one to which he is elected, the lower house or the upper house of the congress of the United States. Notwithstanding the fact that the capitol is Republican and the White House is Democratic, a large amount of legislation will be attempted this year, some of which is certain to be vetoed and some of which is certain to become the law of the land.
In Washington for some weeks have been leading representatives of both political parties, the Republicans planning for legislation which they will attempt to enact and the Democrats studying what the Republicans intend to do so that they may know whether to acquiesce or to fight.
It seems altogether likely that a new "party rule" will be in force in the senate. Some of the Republicans determined recently that legislation in the upper house should not be determined upon, pro or con, by a handful of men, but by all the Republicans acting together. This rule already has been sanctioned in advance by the Republican senators. The Democrats acted on this principle to some extent during the time that they were in control of the senate.
Change From Old Method.
In the old days three or four men of their party, with power delegated to them by the other members, constituted themselves into a court to "try" legislation. If this little group agreed that certain bills should be pressed to a passage, or should be shelved, the party members generally agreed with them, and the result was that bills were passed or defeated at the whim of the few rather than on the sanction of the many. It was a case of a party blindly following its leaders. It is probable that hereafter in the United States senate, no matter which party is in control, the entire party membership will take a hand in suggesting what should be done and what should not be done.
Congress will meet in extra session May 19. The two houses are in control of the Republicans, although the upper house is held by that party by such a slim majority that it may be difficult at times to get legislation through. It will be necessary to bring to the support of Republican bills the votes of some senators who in recent years have not been strongly Republican, but more or less independent. It will take a good deal of diplomacy on the part of Republican leaders to secure the adherence of all the members of the party majority on all occasions.
Republicans of the house will start in at once to frame a tariff measure. It is as yet undecided whether it will be an old-fashioned Republican bill, or one which simply will attempt to make readjustments in the existing schedules. An old-fashioned Republican tariff bill would be almost sure to meet with a veto, but a readjustment bill probably would be signed. If the Republicans follow the readjustment plan they will do it because apparently they hope that in two years they can start in on a comprehensive measure and hand it over to a Republican president to sign. While there is a sort of a cocksuredness in Republican ranks that the next presidential election is to go their way, the optimism of the Republicans is no greater than that of the Democrats, who fully expect that their candidate will be elected.
Bridegroom.
Contrary to general opinion, "bride-groom" has nothing to do with groom. It is from an old English word guma, a man; hence brydguma, the bride's man.
WITH ROOSEVELT IN AFRICA
Hunting Companion Tella of Incident That Demonstrated the Colonel's Complete Fearlessness.
R. J. Cunningham, the famous African hunter, who was in charge of Colonel Roosevelt's hunting expedition in East Africa, said he had never found "any other so easy to get along with and no other man who, by his character, made every man in his service so anxious to do the best possible for him." He tells the following story of "One very near squeak" the colonel had. Said he:
"The colonel was determined to get an elephant and a tusker at that. I told him what that meant and how much risk there was, but he said that he was willing to face it. That was the colonel all over.
"We found an elephant in a forest on Kenia mountain. We had been hunting for three days, and it was hard work for a man of the colonel's bulk in that heat and at that altitude, 11,000 feet. At last I caught sight, through a thick bush, of elephant hide and a tusk, about thirty-five feet away, just near enough to tell me it was a fine specimen. I pointed it out to the colonel. He fired with complete coolness, got the elephant in the ear and dropped him.
"As the shot went off the forest all around roared aloud with trumpetings. We were in the midst of a herd of cows and young bulls, and one of the latter thrust his head through the bushes right over the colonel's head. I was right behind him, fired at once and howled him over.
"Then I rushed up to the colonel and said, 'Are you all right, sir?' But I could see he was before I spoke. He hadn't turned a hair. At any moment the cows might have blundered through the bush over us, but he never thought of that. He went up to the old chap he had killed and gave it the coup de grace and then let himself loose. I never saw a man so boyishly jubilant."
Found Her Theory Wrong.
Jeanousy has no place in the love psychology of Mrs. George Lamb of Chicago.
"Vamp love is not true love," she says. "It's only temporary. Men do not love women they cannot respect." Mrs. Lamb does not think a real man can respect "a rag, a bone and a hank of hair."
"I studied this psychology even before I knew that George was living with another woman," Mrs. Lamb said. "I was so positive it would work that I invited the 'other woman' to come and live in my house. If I could not win back the love of my husband over the wiles of a vampire—then I will be ready to admit the theories are all wrong."
Her husband refused to accept the test, she says, and left her, giving her $10 a week for the support of their son.
"Think of it," she says. "I forgave him after his blonde went back to her husband and he returned to me. Later his blonde beckoned and he left. My theory was all wrong—all wrong."—St. Louis Republic.
A Guest at His Wedding.
The beautifully engraved wedding invitation had blidden us to the wedding of a girl friend. The guests felt a certain anxiety at the girl marrying a man who was such a stranger to her and to all our townspeople. We wished she had married a man who had been her suitor for years.
When the ceremony had begun and the bride marched in to meet the bridegroom, a detective laid his hand upon the bridegroom's shoulder and asked him to watch the ceremony, then come with him. The former suitor stepped to the place and the wedding proceeded.
It seemed that the bride had discovered the bridegroom of the invitations to have committed a serious crime. Her knowledge came a few hours previous to the ceremony. Her old lover was sent for and she "showed" the culprit. — Chicago Tribune.
Where It Couldn't Be Lost.
When I was asked to be the best man at a friend's wedding I thought right away of the many stories that I had heard of losing the ring and not being able to find it at the right moment. As I walked to the altar on the wedding day my fear grew, so I reached in my vest pocket, found the ring, and slipped it on my finger. I felt relieved, but after the last "I do" had been said and the ring was asked for I found that I could not get it off. My hands got cold and perspiration came out on my forehead. I twisted and pulled—moments stretched into ages. At last, in desperation, I put my finger in my mouth and sucked the ring off.—Exchange.
Literal Obedience.
My little nephew, who was continually saying that he was mad at one of his playmates, had been told by his mother to say "provoked" instead of "mad." One day he came running into the room where I was sitting and in gasps told me he had just seen a provoked dog running down the street.—Exchange.

Henry Ward Beecher’s Eloquent Trib-
ute to the Majesty of the
Stars and Stripes.
A thoughtful mind, when it sees a
mation’s flag, sees not the flag only, but
the nation itself, and, whatever may
be its symbols, its insignia, it reads
chiefly in the flag the government, the
principles, the truths, the history
which belong to the nation that sets
it forth.
‘This nation has a banner, and wher-
ever it streamed abroad men saw day-
fbreak bursting on thelr eyes, for the
‘American flag has been the symbol of
lUberty, and men rejoiced in it. Not
another flag on the globe has such an
errand or went forth upon the sea car-

were to the pining nations like the
morning stars of God, and the stripes
upon it were the beams of morning
light. And wherever the flag comes
‘and men behold {t they see In Its sa-
‘red blazonry no rampant Hon and
fierce eagle, but only light, and every
fold significant of liberty.
Let us then twine ench thread of the
glorious tissue of our country’s flag
about our heartstrings, and, looking
‘upon our homes and catching the spirit
that breathes upon us from the battle-
fields of our fathers, let us resolve,
come weal or woe, we will in life and
death stand by the Stars and Stripes.

General Gordon was under the !m-
pression that Barlow had died soon
after he left him on the field, and as
there was a General Gordon of the
Confederate army killed each thought

What the men of '61 did for their
country, what it 1s the duty of every
patriot to do in case of need, has been
set forth by men before whom the
memory of the past rises like a dream,
The examples of the heroes who when
titan forces struggled for the over
throw of the Union went forth to
battle for its preservation and over-
came all its foes and handed down
the precious heritage of Ilberty under
the aegis of the Constitution, for the
blessing of those who followed, ts
still revered and has the potency of
inspiring exalted patriotism in the fu-
ture,

ISCUSSING a G. A. R. pa-
rade, Secretary Daniels re-
lated an Interesting story of
Lieutenant Commander James
E. Jouett (afterward admiral), and his
friend, Peter Umstead Murphy of the
Confederate nayy. Jouett commanded
the U. S. 8. Metacomet at the battle
of Mobile Bay, and Murphy commanded
the Confederate gunboat Selma, which
was captured after a hard fight by the
Metacomet.
Murphy has been a Heutenant in the
United States navy, and had resigned
to fight on the Confederate side. In
the old days, before the war, Murphy,
then a lieutenant, had been very kind
to Jouett, then a midshipman. Two
‘days before the battle of Mobile Bay,
so the story runs, Jouett, while at Pen-
sacola, remembering that Murphy was
fond of good eating, bought a quantity
of crabs and oysters and other delica-
cles and placed them on ce. ‘Three
Confederate gunboats, including the
Selma, Murphy's ship, were then lying
under Fort Morgan, and Jouett, know-
ing that Murphy commanded them,
told the officers that he was fond of
“Pete Murphy,” as he was called, and
hoped to catch him, and he always
kept on hand some good wines and
cigars for him, It happened as Jouett
had hoped. The Metacomet was order-
ed by Farragut to pursue the Selma,
and Jouett did catch Murphy. When
the fight was over, Jouett ordered his
HATTA ivr
WN
ED ase 5
steward to prepare a breakfast. When
the Selma had struck her colors, Mur-
phy, his right arm in @ sling from a
wound received in the battle, came
aboard the Metacomet to surrender
his sword.
Jouett had sent the crew forward, in
order that Murphy might be spared
any unnecessary mortification, and
only two officers were at the gangway
with Jouett to receive Murphy. Mur-
phy vame up the gangway, drew him-
self to his full height, held out -his
sword and began a speech, but Jouett
took his hand, put his arm around his
shoulder and said: “I am glad to see
you, Murphy. Come below ; your break-
fast has been waiting some time.”
When they reached the cabin, Mur-
phy saw a beautiful table laden with
oysters, crabs, beefsteaks, wines, etc.
Turning to Jouett in astonishment, he
sald: “Why didn’t you let me know
you had all this? I would have sur-
rendered sooner.”
‘And the officers sat down at the
table as though they had never drawn
swords against each other.

@ longing glance, though tempted.
The mother of a family should, of
all people, understand food values, for
she {s In a position to build up healthy
bodies or tear down and ruin diges-
tions, “Bad habits ruin life, as do
weak bones the bodies.”
Protein foods are those most expen-
sive and complex, such as meat, fish,
eggs, cheese and milk. Carbohydrates
are the starches and sugars, potatoes,
rice, macaroni and the various sugars.
It 1s important that we balance our
meals, but it is not necessary that each
meal should be; each day's dietary
should contain proteins, fats, earbohy-
drates in the correct proportion, which
1s one part of protein to five of carbo-
hydrates.
Plant protein, such as peas, beans
and lentils, take the place of meat.
When the meat allowance is small
these vegetables should be used free-
ly, rather than cabbage, turnips and
beets.
An excess of meat is especially baa,
as that which {s not assimilated clogs
the system and causes self-polsoning.
Brain workers need easily digested
food; muscle workers find courser
foods better suited to their needs.
However, all need roughage (foods
that contain cellulose) to give bulk and
increase intestinal activity.
Let us not forget that milk and but-
ter, yolk of egg and green leaves of
plants contain a growth determinant
absolutely essential to the growing
child, without which he will be stunt-
ed and handicapped through life.
Diet should be varied as well as
mixed, substituting occastonally such
foods as rice and macaroni for pota-
toes.
By planning meals several days
ahead it will be much easier to ar-
‘range a rightly balanced and varied
diet. We do not tire of the common
staple foods, but we find them very
monotonous served in the same old
way. It is not posible to fix a general
dietary standard, as many things, such
8 age, occupation, health and climate
enter in to qualify it.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.
When replacing papers in drawers
to keep them firm, put a small stick-
- er half on the paper and
the other half on the
drawer.
When setting dishes on
J ice, use old can rubbers
to keep them from slip-
ping.
A little sand in a small
“ME top-heavy vase will
ess make it quite stuble.
Fill salt and pepper
shakers with an orange spoon or make
a paper funnel, which may be used
more quickly.
‘A plece of macaront placed In a ber-
ry pie when put in the oven will save
the loss of the good Juice, as the mac-
nroni will serve as a chimney for the
Juice to boil up in.
Grease the cork of the glue bottle, so
that {t will not be glued in when it Is
wonted.
‘A plece of ice held In the mouth a
moment before disagreeable medicine
fs to be taken, will dull the sense of
taste.
Keep on your desk a lst of things to
do—ealls, letter-writing and household
tesks; as they are done, cross off. Tt
is a most satisfactory way of knowing
what is accomplished during the week
or month, ‘The same method Is a good
one to use in the kitchen; various
things are forgotten that, with the list
before one, will spur on the worker.
‘A camp chalr that will slip under the
table, out of the way or can be hung
from a hook, is a great convenience In
a kitchen with small space.
A roomy market basket with a strong,
‘well-fastened handle, makes a fine bed
foe the small child when traveling, and
one in which it may be carried with
ity belongings. The basket is picked
up and carried without disturbing the
baby or exposing him to the weather,
Carry a package of courtplaster of
aifterent colors. This may be used
when traveling to mend a garment or
stocking In an emergency.
‘Transplant a few asters and other
favorite flowers in the garden after the
vegetables are gone. In the fall they
will be pleasant to look at.
Kitchen aprons of unbleached cot-
ton made with a good fitting style are
‘ost desirable, as they may be bolled
avd kept white.
‘Tennis shoes are fine to use when
scrubbing floors er porches, us they
protect the feet from the molsture and
are comfortable to wear.

If anything were needed to foster the success of the separate skirt, that thing has come to the front, in the lovely Russian blouse of georgette crepe, or other material, which has been brought out for the summer season. It is an aristocratic garment, very graceful, and at its loveliest in crepes and other sheer fabrics. But certain of the new weaves in silk are running a close second to the sheerer materials. With a few of these blouses one may face the summer with confidence.
The separate skirt of white satin, or other fabric, and the separate skirt of black satin make the right background for these Russian blouses, having sufficient class and character of their own. Provided with these one may use all sorts of waistls and blouses to make combinations that result in dress suitable for any hour of the day or evening. Then there are the utility skirts of sturdy cloth fabrics and the sports skirts that are so useful for occasions where one must be smartly but not formally dressed. A very attractive model for a cloth skirt appears at the left of the two
Those Practical Taffeta Suits
1
THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
If manufacturers of ready-to-wear clothes were to neglect to provide taffeta suits for summer wear the chances are that women would have them made to order rather than face a summer without them. Taffeta makes a crisp, cool, smart and often inexpensive suit that may be made more or less dressy, according to the accessories worn with it and is most practical and comfortable for warm weather. As there is a perennial demand for it we may count on new designs each season, at least until some other silk displaces taffeta. But all the new weaves are of a totally different character and cannot rival a silk to which they bear no likeness, so the taffeta suits continue to fill their own particular niche. Suits of silk jersey and the latest arrivals, made of the lightest weight in tricolette, may come to divide honors with taffeta suits when they are as well known.
Navy blue is as much a favorite in silk as in wool and the suit at the left of the two shown above is in this color. Its skirt is cut with a slight inward slope toward the bottom and is plain. The coat is straight but belted at the waistline with a wide belt of the taffeta, having a buckle at each
skirts pictured above, and is to be recommended for women who have slender figures. Its wide front panel is extended at the sides near the top and perfectly tailored side pieces plaited lengthwise, are set in below these extensions, the plaiting extending across the back. The panel provides a good background for buttons and buttonholes that are decorative.
The skirt at the right is another of the smart, plaited models which are not so frequently seen this season. It is made of a new weave in silk in which stripes, differing in color and weave, make the way of the designer easy. These run round the figure and the plaits in the skirt are arranged to form a panel at the back and front. Almost without exception, belts and girdles are made of the same material as the skirts.
Posies for Decorations.
The hothouse is rivalling the simple field in what it brings to flower hats and beflowered brims this year, for roses, opulent jasmine and broad, full pansies are the style.

side of the back. The side pieces are pointed at the bottom with pockets that are also pointed and shirred across the top, the shirring forming a narrow standing frill. There is a narrow turnover collar and deep cuffs. The suit at the right is as plain as a serge suit but is, nevertheless, a smart model. The skirt, with overlapped seams at each side, begins narrowing toward the bottom just below the hipa. Rows of buttons, covered with taffeta, are set on these overlapped seams, terminating about eight inches above the very narrow hem. Covered buttons finish the sleeves and ornament the lower part of the coat fronts and a narrow sash, made of the silk, is finished with tassels. The crepe de chine collar and vestee are in a light beige color.
