THE RA PI THE race problem is National in scope, but its final solution must be locally determined. It is a problem of human relationship, and this human relationship is reducible in the final analysis to the one white man face to face with one Negro. The National race problem is really only a multiplication of the problem of this individual relationship. This is why the Outlook has always insisted that the Negro problem of the South could be solved only by the South. The North can advise and aid, and that is all. Now that the North is becoming acutely aware of the fact that it possesses a race problem of its own, while the situation is reversed, the principal still remains the same. East St. Louis (an Illinois, not a Missouri, city, we ask our readers to observe) and Chicago, Washington, Knoxville, and Atlanta, to each its peculiar problem, to each its own solution. But the intensely local character of the race problem should not prevent the broadest National consideration of its causes and effects. The North can learn from the South and the South from the North. But upon each section and locality must rest the responsibility for putting into effect the conclusions reached in general discussion and study. It is this dual character of the problem in its local and National aspects which lends peculiar interest to the proposal recently put forward by the Southern Sociological Congress, of which Bishop Theodore D. Bratton is President. This proposal, at the suggestion of President Wilson, was laid before the conference of the Governors of the several states recently in session at Salt Lake City, Utah. The Governors' conference broke all precedents in permitting Bishop Bratton to speak at one of its sessions. The resolution which Bishop Bratton proposed was made a part of the official records of the conference, and received high praise from many of the Governors present. The resolution laid before the Governors' conference and the programme called for therein are of such merit and importance that we republish them here in full. The resolution reads: Recognizing that the Negro is a permanent and increasingly important factor in the development of our National life, the Southern Sociological Congress considers the solution of the problem of race relations as the most delicate and difficult single task for American Democracy. We believe that no enduring basis of good will between the white and colored peoples in this country can be developed except on the fundamental principles of justice, co-operation, and race integrity. The obligations of this generation to posterity demand that we exert our utmost endeavor to preserve the purity of our democratic ideals expressed in the American Constitution as well as the purity of the blood of both races. With this belief the Southern Sociological Congress has worked out a programme for the improvement of race relations which we respectfully sub- State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc State House the Only Reliable COLOR ACE ROBLEM mit to this conference of Governors in the earnest hope that this body of distinguished leaders may lend its powerful influence towards making this programme effective throughout the union. The programme is: First, that the Negro should be liberated from the blighting fear of injustice and mob violence. To this end it is imperatively urgent that lynching be prevented: 1. By the enlistment of Negroes themselves in preventing crimes that provoke mob violence. 2. By prompt trial and speedy execution of persons who are guilty of heinous crimes. 3. By legislation that will make it unnecessary for a woman who has been assaulted to appear in court to testify publicly. 4. By legislation that will give the Governor authority to dismiss a sheriff for failure to protect a prisoner in his charge. Second, that the citizenship rights of the Negro should be safeguarded, particularly: 1. By securing proper traveling accommodations. 2. By providing better housing conditions and by preventing extortionate rents. 3. By providing adequate educational and recreation facilities. Third, that closer co-operation between white and colored citizens should be promoted (without encouraging any violation of race integrity) : 1. By organizing local committees, both white and colored, in as many communities as possible for the consideration of interracial problems. 2. By the employment of Negro physicians, nurses, and policemen as far as practicable in work for sanitation, public health, and law enforcement among their own people. 3. By enlisting all agencies possible in fostering justice, good will, and kindness in all individual dealings of members of one race with members of the other. 4. By the appointment of a standing commission by the Governor of each state for the purpose of making a careful study of the causes underlying race friction, with the view of recommending proper means for their removal. In addition to the standing commissions proposed in the foregoing programme there should be a National commission appointed by the President to serve as a unifying body to coordinate the work of the several state commissions here proposed. The work of the National Commission should in no way be permitted to conflict with the state commissions and local committees proposed in the programme of the Southern Sociological Congress. The National Commission should work with and through the state commissions rather than as a supervising and superior body.—The Outlook. The programme is: le People's Pa ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1919 Demand Federal Government Control Lynching THE folloowing resolutions, calling for Federal intervention in states where lynching is unpunished and unchecked, were unanimously passed at a mass meeting of 1,000 persons in the meeting hall of the Society for Ethical Culture, 2 West 64th Street, New York City, on the night of September 16: We, citizens of the United States, assembled in the meeting hall of the Society for Ethical Culture, 2 West 64th Street, New York City, on the night of Tuesday, September 16, submit that: Whereas, John R. Shillady, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was without provocation brutally assaulted in broad daylight on a main street of Austin, Texas, on August 22, 1919, the mobbists being led in person by a county officer of the state of Texas: Whereas, Governor W. P. Hobby of Texas not only declined to remove such officer, but condoned the assault, saying that the victim was "the only offender:" Whereas, Each week witnesses additional lynchings and mob outrages in the United States, eight persons having been publicly burned since the beginning of the year 1919 and forty-seven publicly murdered by mobs: Whereas, Civilization in the United States is gravely menaced by the persistence, unchecked, of mob lawlessness and mob murder; Whereas, Many states have wholly failed to take action against lynchers, Governor Bilbo of Mississippi having confessed inability in June, 1919, to prevent mob murder, the governor of Texas having approved a mob assault in August, 1919; Be it therefore, Resolved. That the Congress of the United States be and is herewith asked to create a special federal commission or congressional committee to investigate lynching and mob violence as a menace to national security; That the Congress investigate every case of unpunished mob murder and assault as a failure of the states to accord United States citizens the rights and the protection guaranteed by the federal constitution; That the Congress devise means whereby the federal government shall guarantee the processes of law and justice now denied where mob murders and assaults are permitted to occur unchecked and unpunished. DEATH FOLLOWS WOMAN'S PLOT Sophia Bass Entered Conspiracy With Lover to Slay Planter. Yazoo City, Miss., Sept. 12.—Miss Sophia Bass, who a few weeks ago entered into a plot with Renzie Smith, her sweetheart, to accomplish the death of William Jones, an aged plantation worker reputed to have money, whispered her story of sorrow for participating in the crime to a Defender reporter, who jotted down the woman's confession as she talked through the iron bars of her cell in the county jail. Her recital of the crime was jerky. She sobbed at the end of every sentence as she poured out her story of connection with the death plot. "I must have been insane," she moaned. "How did I become so foolish and let Renzie lead me into such a thing?" the woman said. Haunted by Crime. She is haunted by the ghost of her crime. The slim, stately woman who stayed awake at midnight carefully planning the murder of the old plantation worker is weakening under the strain of her misdeeds. It is worry that has caused her to become but a shadow of her former self; that has made dark rings under her eyes and that has changed her once fresh and girtish complexion to one of ghastly pallor. In the hour of her greatest trial her sweetheart, Renzle Smith, is unable to console her. He is occupying an adjoining cell and facing a charge of murder. Plot Carried Out. It is said that Sophia Bass decoyed Jones to her home for the purpose of the murder one morning about 2 o'clock. Smith entered the house from the rear door, and as Jones seated himself at the table a shot rang out. The aged man fell across the table. Smith hastily tore two pages from a magazine lying on a table in the room and cried the paper into the bleeding wound. He then picked up the body and carried it to Jones' own door, dropping it at the foot of the back steps. The torn fragments stuffed in the wound stopped the flow of blood and left no crimson path for the officers to trail the murders. The two magazine pages were the only tell-tale evidences that led to a revelation of the crime.—Chicago Defender. Liberian President Extols African Republic Conditions New York, N. Y.—C. D. B. King, president-elect of Liberia, has a solution for America's "Negro problem," if such there be. He is out with an invitation to all dissatisfied Negroes in the United States to go over to his African republic and be happy. In fact, he says, he came to America from Paris, where he was the Liberian delegate to the Peace Conference, to encourage Negro immigration to Liberia, and incidentally obtain assistance from the United States. The Negroes in your country seem dissatisfied, he declared in an interview recently. "I do not attach blame to any one, but I do know that the opportunities for the American Negroes in my country greatly exceed those in the United States. "We don't know what race riots are in Liberia. My countrymen run the entire government and are advancing in importance to the point where the American government has lent us $5,000,000. We have a country the size of the state of Ohio, with a population of 2,500,000, two colleges, banks and an agricultural and industrial outlook that cannot be surpassed anywhere. "Liberians all talk English, as the country was started in 1848 by Americans as a colonization project. Our constitution is almost identical with the American constitution. Great Britain has supervised our customs for many years, following a loan to Liberia, but now we are asking for an American protectorate, in effect, that will give the United States a commercial foothold in Africa, if the American interests wish to take advantage of it." King said that he hoped to arrange with the American government for expert advisers in education, administration and the judicial branches of government to be sent to Liberia. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources Houston, Tex., Sept. 19.—Willie Whiting raised Harris county's first bale of cotton this year on his farm at Piney Point. The bale weighed 480 pounds and was graded as strict middling and sold as such. A premium of $25 was raised for the grower. Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 19.—The oldest man in North Carolina is said to be Leonard Smith, 105 years old. Mr. Smith has lived in St. Matthews township, Wake county, the larger part of his life. He is father of eight children, forty-two grandchildren, sixty-seven great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. man and puts him of necessity actively on the defensive. "Those who make and execute the laws owe it to themselves and to their country as well as us to see that the Race has protection along with other citizens. It is hard for the average Negro to understand how we can spend millions of dollars and thousands of lives to help protect the lives of weaker people in foreign countries, yet fail to protect our own loyal, patriotic citizens in this country." Seeks To Abolish Jim Crow Car New York, Sept. 17.—Julius Rosenwald of Chicago has offered six scholarships of $1,200 each for Negro graduates of American medical schools who desire to take post-graduate work in pathology, bacteriology, physiology, pharmacology or physiological chemistry, according to an announcement here today by the general education board. Appointments to be made in 1920, will be made by a committee comprising Dr. William H. Welch, John Hopkins School of Public Health, chairman; Dr. David L. Edsall, dean of the Harvard medical school, and Dr. Victor C. Vaughn, dean of the medical depratment, University of Michigan. Abraham Flexner, secretary of the general education board, will act as secretary of the committee. DEMANDING even-handed justice for the Negro in the United States the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has issued a statement that the only four regiments of the American Expeditionary Forces to be cited for bravery and to receive the French Croix de Guerre were colored—the 369th, the 370th, 371st and 372nd. The statement is made on the authority of J. Howard Durkee, president of Howard University, and is corroborated by Emmett J. Scott, former special assistant to the Secretary of War. Besides the four colored regiments to be cited for bravery a battalion of the 367th—the original "Buffaloes"—trained at Yaphank, Long Island, received French citation. DR. MOTON DE- NOUNCES LYNCHING TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., Sept. 19.—My position on the recent riots was stated in the communication which I sent to the New York World, August 2nd. In that communication I said: "The time has come when thoughtful white and Race people allike will not tolerate wholesale mobbing of innocent Negroes because of the alleged crime of one. "The Negro has never instigated a riot by wholesale attacks on white people. The very fact that in riots the innocent have so frequently been obliged to suffer with the guilty has created in us an aggressive and vindictive spirit which manifested itself in the riots. One of the most unfortunate things about such occurrences is that it frequently hurts the morale of the conservative, law-abiding Race NO. 49. man and puts him of necessity actively on the defensive. "Those who make and execute the laws owe it to themselves and to their country as well as us to see that the Race has protection along with other citizens. It is hard for the average Negro to understand how we can spend millions of dollars and thousands of lives to help protect the lives of weaker people in foreign countries, yet fail to protect our own loyal, patriotic citizens in this country." Seeks To Abolish Jim Crow Car WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—Abolition of the "Jim Crow" car in interstate railroad traffic was urged to day before the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. Representative Madden (Republican, Illinois), who has introduced a bill, requiring "equal rights, accommodations and privileges" for both races on railway trains, urged that it be made part of the Esch railroad bill. Several Negro spokesmen appeared with him in behalf of his plan. "The government has no right," declared Mr. Madden, "to draft its citizens in defense of its flag and at the same time say to them that their rights are inferior to those of other citizens of the United States." He added that Chinese and Japanese are allowed to ride on trains on equal conditions with the whites. "You want to force the Negroes to ride in the cars with the white people, when the Negroes themselves would rather ride in separate cars than to be mixed up with white people," suggested Representative Reyburn (Democrat, Texas.) "I deny that the Negroes themselves would rather be in a separate car," said Mr. Madden. "I deny that you understand the Negro," Mr. Reyburn said. Representative Sanders (Democrat, Louisiana) said white men are prohibited from riding in Negro coaches. "We of the South," he added, "contend that the Negro prefers separate accommodations. Our Negroes down South, knowing they are not welcome in the white man's coach, don't go in. You will admit that the great majority of the Negroes of the country live in the South." "Yes, but we think they should be treated the same in the South as in the North," Mr. Madden declared. "The Negroes are treated better in my country than in your city of Chicago," continued Mr. Sanders. "The affair in Chicago was an unfortunate situation that nobody can explain." Mr. Madden said. Lieut. Gregory of Howard University complained because Negroes can not have sleeping berths or meals on the trains in the South. "You only have to walk to the Union station here in Washington to see how the 'Jim Crow' car works," he said. "Every train going to Richmond carries one. Usually the baggage car is divided in two and the Negroes must ride in one half. Half of that is given over as a smoking room. It is used as an overflow for white people from their smoking car and by the crew of the train. There is but one toilet for both sexes and conditions are filthy." NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK WESTERN At least $25,000 was obtained by a robber who bound and gagged a mail clerk on an eastbound Northern Pacific passenger train between Seattle and Kanasket, Wash. Seth Bullock, lifelong personal friend of the late Theodore Roosevelt, is dead at his home in Deadwood, S. D., after an illness of several weeks. He was a pioneer of the Black Hills and was 62 years old. Twelve borses were killed outright and fifteen others mutilated at Milfay, Okla., when the third section of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum-Bailey circus train was piled up when it ran through an open switch. Robert L. Massey of Omaha, for thirty-five years in the service of the Union Pacific, and one of the best known passenger conductors on the line, was found murdered on the streets of North Platte. Mrs. Fannie Antonie, 26, was arrested in St. Louis on a warrant issued in Kansas City charging implication in the theft of $1,000,000 worth of Liberty bonds, according to secret service men making the arrest. John H. Suits was sentenced to one year in the county jail in the United States District Court at San Francisco following his plea of guilty to a charge of defrauding through the mails in connection with the collection of funds for the National Defense League of California. D. A. Gwartney and Edwin Birnie, both of Long Beach, were killed when the aeroplane in which they were flying fell into a tail spin at a height of 500 feet and from 200 feet crashed to earth in a direct dive. The necks of both were broken and their skulls were crushed. In a peculiar accident, Mrs. Haskett, wife of L. B. Haskett of Tecumseh, was seriously injured. She cranked her automobile and the brake refused to hold the car. It ran forword, knocked her down, doubled her up under the vehicle and ran over her, fracturing her back. Twelve thousand Idaho farmers, in thirty-two counties, actively co-operated in a campaign for the destruction of ground squirrels, which resulted in a saving of $2,500,000 in cross during the year ending Aug. 1, according to the report of W. E. Crouch, in charge of rodent control work of the extension division of the University of Idaho. Increased street car fare to 6 cents to meet demands of employés for a higher wage was defeated at the polls at Des Moines, Iowa by a majority of over 1,000. Voting was light. The 6 cent fare election came as a compromise between striking street car employés and a citizens' committee several weeks ago to maintain street car service during the Iowa state fair. WASHINGTON Three of the foremost leaders of organized labor, before the Senate Interstate Commerce committee, denounced in unqualified terms sections of the Cummins railroad reorganization bill which would prevent railroad workers from striking. Francisco Villa is about to launch a campaign south of Chihuahua to avoid risking intervention by United States troops, according to information received in Washington. That the army of 500,000 provided in the War Department's reorganization bill may be entirely too large was admitted by Secretary of War Baker before the House committee on military affairs. Consumption of sugar in the United States for the first seven months of this year was 362,000 tons more than during the corresponding period last year, according to statistics compiled by the United States Sugar Equalization Board and made public by the American Sugar Refining Company. More wheat should be sown this fall than was the average in pre-war years, but not so much should be sown as was sown last year. This is the outstanding fall farming recommendation of the United States Department of Agriculture which is watching the changes of the world supply and demand while European countries are getting back to normal in food production and thus affecting the market for American products. Notice of a new counterfeit $20 note on the federal reserve bank of New York, has been given by the treasury. The border of the note and the background of Cleveland's portrait are solid black, instead of having fine cross lines, and the treasury numbers are black instead of blue. Condition of the late commercial potato crop September 1st, indicated a yield of 123,518 carloads, a decrease of more than 22,000 carloads from the estimate on the same date last year, according to a report by the Department of Agriculture. FOREIGN The Bolshevik们 have made all preparations for the evacuation of Petrograd, according to a Helsingfors dispatch. Belgium has agreed to the proposal of France that a French general be given supreme command of allied forces on the Rhine. The council of five at Paris has decided to permit German representation at the international labor conference in Washington next month, according to an official cable from Paris. The spread of gambling among the soldiers has prompted General Noske of Germany to issue an order prohibiting all gambling in barracks, caneens, mess halls, on parade grounds or in public places. A left hand, with one finger missing, was brought to Barreal station, fifty-nine miles southwest of Juarez as proof that Epifanlo Holguin, a former Villa colonel, had been killed by one of his own men with whom he had quarreled. The deconcentration of the French army is now entirely completed, all troops except those on the Rhine having returned to their usual garrison posts. The transportation of demobilized soldiers to their homes by regular passenger trains also will be finished in a few days. The new British profiteer act is now in effect and prices have begun to fall. A drop of $10 a ton is registered in the price of potatoes. Chickens are lower than the maximum of the food control prices. Eggs have dropped to $1.20 a dozen. California oranges are considerably cheaper, now costing "only" 22 cents each. A peacetime army of 350,000 men and reduction of the term of military service from three years to one are recommended to the military committee of the French Senate in a report submitted by Paul Doumer, its president. Under his plan, 200,000 men would be called to the colors annually by conscription and 1,500,000 others recruited through voluntary enlistment. The German consul general in Mexico has received information from his government that 30,000 immigrants from Germany will soon arrive in Mexico to make their future home. This is the first considerable body of Germans to come, according to advises from Mexico City, in answer to the overtures made by the Mexican government immediately after the armistice was signed. GENERAL Joe Burman, the Chicago bantam sensation, had a good workout for his bout with Joe Lynch in Philadelphia by beating Roy Moore in every round of a ten-round fight at Chicago. The Sovereign Grand Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and affiliated bodies, the Patrarchs Militant and Association of Rebekah Assemblies finished their annual convention at Baltimore and adjourned to meet in Boston next year. The Italian auxiliary barkentine City of Biloxi, with a cargo of explosives, blew up twenty miles off Mobile bar, burned to the water's edge, and sank, according to reports reaching shipping circles at Mobile, Ala.

The cost of the war to the United States in man power is now estimated officially as 116,492 dead and 205,690 wounded, a total of 322,182. These figures include losses to army and marine units on all fronts to Sept. 1. Killed in action totaled 35,585, or 11 per cent of the entire list; died of wounds, 14,742; died of disease, 58,073; died of accidents and other causes, 8,092. Early and favorable action is expected in the Senate on the bill providing a punishment by fine or imprisonment or both for the transportation of stolen motor vehicles in interstate or foreign commerce. Cincinnati won the toss for the opening game of the world series at the meeting of the national baseball commission at Cincinnati. The first two games will be played in Cincinnati, the next three in the American league city winning the pennant of that league, then two in Cincinnati if necessary, followed by one in the American league city. The place for the ninth game, if necessary, is to be decided by lot. Work will be begun at once on development of a farm colony at Winslow, N. J., for returned soldiers and sailors. The organization has acquired 4,200 acres for the project. The project consists of a village of fifty houses, an inn, store and church and a tract of good forest land on which stand sturdy oaks. This property will be divided into 420 ten-acre farms on which model homes will be erected. The estimated cost of the project is $1,902,000.

Inter-Mountain Live Stock and Fair. Grand Junction, Sept. 30 to Oct. 3. Douglas County Fair, Castle Rock, Oct. 7-8. The oldest man in Colorado, William Earl Van Etten, is dead at Boulder at the age of 102. Two Arkansas valley counties, Crowley and Otero, produce 90 per cent of the cantaloupes grown in Colorado, and this state ranks among the leaders in the production of cantaloupes. A long session of a coroner's jury failed utterly to reveal the least cue to the identity of the persons who lynched Gonzales and Ortez as the murdersers of Police Officer Jeff Evans at Pueblo. The mystery that has for several months surrounded the robberies that have taken place in Rocky Ford and Crowley is thought to have been solved by the arrest of a Syrian who has a store in La Junta. Prof. H. S. Evans has been chosen as new dean of the school of engineering, University of Colorado, to succeed Prof. Milo S. Ketchum, who has resigned to accept a position with the University of Pennsylvania. One soldier was so injured he died in a short time, two were badly hurt and thirteen others were more or less bruised when a large army automobile from Fort Logan, bearing members of the post baseball team, turned over in Denver. Mrs. Cora Sulsar, about 38 years old, one of a party of tourists from Gilpin City, Mo., was instantly killed when a runaway team of mules, drawing a load of hay crashed into the automobile in which she, her husband, two children and an 18-year-old nephew were riding on the Lincoln highway. Colorado held $9,736,992.03 in its treasury on Aug. 31, according to the report for the quarter ending on that date, submitted to Gov. Oliver H. Shoup by State Treasurer Harry E. Mulnix; the receipts during the quarter were $2,817,153.49, and disbursements were $2,130,672.24. Fort Collins industries will receive one new unit shortly thru the filing in the secretary of states' office of articles of incorporation for the Fort Collins Pressed Brick and Tile Company. The organizers are H. G. Finley, G. H. Dixon and H. A. Myer, residents of Larimer county. The federal census bureau reported approximately 12,000 acres devoted to grain sorghums in Colorado in 1909. County assessors report approximately 250,000 acres devoted to grain sorghum this year, and an additional 100,000 acres to sweet sorghums, grown principally for stock feed. That Salt Lake City business men expect within eighteen months to invade Routt and Moffat counties in Pullman cars over a newly built railroad to extend from Salt Lake to Craig, Colo., is the burden of an article appearing in the bulletin of the Salt Lake Commercial Club. Funds have been assured and a strong group of Utah financiers are determined to see the road through. There has been a sharp deterioration in the condition of potatoes since the August report was issued and the indicated production is now 10,598,000 bushels. The damage was most severe in the north-central and northeastern parts of the state where irrigated potatoes suffered heavily. Non-irrigated potatoes are almost a failure. The potato crop last year was 13,083,000 bushels, according to lately revised figures. More than 7,500 people, the largest number in the history of the association, attended the third day of the annual Montrose county fair. The value of all farm property in Colorado at the present time is close to $1,000,000,000. In 1890 it was only $110,358,040, and in 1919 it was only $491,000,000. The State Immigration Department has had prepared a "Wheat Map of Colorado for 1919," the first map of the kind ever made for the state. It shows the distribution of both winter and spring wheat in the state, as indicated by the reports of county assessors. A glance at the map will show where wheat is grown in Colorado and how extensively. A small symbol is used to represent each 1,000 acres of wheat grown, and the counties in the northeast corner of the state are so crowded with these symbols that there is hardly room left for the names of the counties. Four counties in this district have grown more wheat this year than was grown in the entire state in 1909, and seven counties here have about two-thirds of the state's wheat acreage. J. Allard Jeancon, Colorado Springs archaeologist, who has been exploring the cliff dwellers' ruins in northwestern New Mexico for the last six months, has opened up 127 rooms and made discoveries of great importance, according to experts who have examined his finds. A drive for 20,000,000 members and $15,000,000 to carry out the pencetime program of the Red Cross will be held throughout the country in the period of Nov. 2 to 11, according to announcement of representatives of the mountain division. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. Final reports from county assessors to the State Immigration Department show 83,167 acres of beans in Colorado this year, exclusive of snap beans. This includes 71,586 acres of dry beans for market, principally pintos, and 11,581 acres of beans of various varieties for seed. This is the only important crop showing a decrease in acreage this year as compared with 1919. Approximately 252,000 acres was devoted to this crop in 1918, but the yield was unsatisfactory in many districts and the price obtained was much lower than the previous year. These two facts are the principal reasons for the low acreage this year. El Paso, Elbert and Weld counties lead in area devoted to beans, each county having in excess of 10,000 acres. Logan county and other counties in the northeast corner of the state, where large acreages of beans were grown last year, report a very light acreage this year. the land being devoted principally to winter wheat. The condition of the apple crop in the state at this time is 66 per cent of normal, compared with 50 per cent at this time last year and an average condition of 64 per cent. The estimated production is 2,889,000 bushels, or more than 1,000,000 bushels in excess of last year's output. The quality of the fruit is good. The peach crop is being marketed rapidly and is generally of excellent quality. The production is estimated at 902,000 bushels, compared with 633,000 bushels last year. The pear crop is also good, the estimated production being 217,000 bushels, compared with 194,000 bushels last year. Another name was added to the memorial roll of Colorado Springs when Sergt. Benjamin Harrison Bailey died from the effects of shell shock and poison gas at his home in that city. The young soldier was one of the first enlistments from Colorado Springs and served with the British before Mont-didier and with the engineers at Cambral. Time after time he escaped death by fractions of an inch until, in the closing days of the war, he was shell-shocked at the Argonne force, and while lying helpless on the battlefield became a victim of poisonous gas. President J. F. Welborn, of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company at Pueblo, has ordered the company mines at Sunrise, Wyo., where the bulk of the raw material used at the local plants is mined, shut down for an indefinite period. Five coal mines, employing approximately 500 men in the southern field, have also been ordered closed. These mines have supplied the local plants with fuel. There is no intention on the part of the company of closing its commercial mines at this time. According to the county assessor's abstract of assessment Jackson county's evaluation for tax purposes this year is $5,755,455. There are 45,270 head of range cattle, assessed at an average of $44.91 per head, a total of $2,036,760, which makes the largest item on the list. There are 66,720 acres of lay land, assessed at $1,857,450; grazing land, $678,675; improvements on land, $231,215. There are 3,747 head of horses in the county, valued at $183,145. A falling off of nearly 7,000,000 bushels in the production of corn for the state is indicated as a result of dry weather late in the season. The condition of the corn crop is found to be only 62 per cent of normal, which indicates a production, on approximately 900,000 acres devoted to the crop, of 13,950,000 bushels, compared with a production of 20,585,000 bushels on 895,000 acres last year. The acreage planted this year is the largest on record. Mining in the La Plata district shows more activity at the present time than at any other time of the year and plans are under way in many of the properties for an all-winter operation. Painters at Trinidad, who were prepared to go on strike for higher wages, are at work on the basis of a wage compromise reached at a meeting of employers and Journeymen and Arl. Fincher, investigator for the state industrial commission. The painters formerly received 75 cents an hour. They agreed to return to work at $87\frac{1}{2}$ cents an hour until Jan. 1, after which their wages will be 90 cents. Twenty-eight men were affected. The threatened street car strike in Pueblo was averted after an all-night session, when the employés of the company voted to accept the offer of the company for half of the 25 per cent wage increase now and the other half Nov. 10, when the city ordinance granting the company the privilege of charging 6 cents car fare in Pueblo becomes effective. Increased traffic on Main avenue at Durango has made necessary the passing of an ordinance by the City Council preventing the parking of cars along that thoroughfare for a longer period than thirty minutes at any one time. A special traffic officer has been added to the police force to enforc the parking order. The Industrial Sugar Company will build a $600,000 factory at Fort Lupton to care for 4,000 acres of sugar beets contracted to the company by farmers of southern Weld county. The Industrial Sugar Company is a $4,000,000 corporation organized by farmers to build beet sugar factories in northern Colorado.

MAXEY MAMMOTH CAVE, KENTUCKY, Muncy CAVE, the largest of a number of eaves in Edmondson county, Kentucky, 1s said to be the largest cave known, It extends for almost @ mile below the surface of the earth and contains about 100 miles of pussage ways. Here are displayed perhaps the greatest and grandest ex- amples In the world of the wonderful work of water In underground sculptur- Ing. Its discovery was another case of the hunter and the bear—date about 1500. ‘The bear, wounded, crawled into the cave and escaped. ‘The hunt- er followed and discovered the cave. A visit to this cave Is certainly a unique and wonderful experience. No- where else can It be duplicated. The interior is a maze of domes, pits, halls, chambers, pillars, temples, cascades, caverns, crevasses, stalactites and stalagmites, carved stone and other characteristle and peculiar phenomena and falrylike forms fashlonable tn cave architecture. There are lakes and rivers In it—one can bontride on the Echo river for half a mile. The lofty limestone roof, 60 feet high in places, and the battlemented shores reflect und magnify every sound. The Glant’s Coffin is the largest rock in the cave. It 1s 18 feet thick, 43 feet long and welghs 2,000 tons. Mammoth Dome, the largest and most impressive of many, is 280 feet high. Many varie. ties of animal life are found, including eyeless fish and blind crawfish. ‘The air is good and the temperature even— about 54 degrees, There are several routes through the cave, the longest re- quiring a full day. YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, yo LOWSTONE, our oldest and largest national park, ts consider- bly larger than the state of Delaware. Its altitude ranges from 6,000 to 11,000 feet above sea level. It contains such 4 large collection of weird and freak natural phenomena that the visor guins the impression the Great Creator of all things must have roamed over the world, collecting all the odd things he saw, dumping them here In one xreat disordered heap. There are more geysers than in atl the rest of the world put together. ‘They range from tiny openings, spout- ing water but a few feet, at Intervals of a few minutes, to the great giant. larger than a well, projecting a column of water 250 to 300 feet high, for a period of several minutes nt intervals of several days. There are numerous waterfalls, the great fall of the Yellow- stone river In the gorgeously colored, 20-mile-long Grand canyon, being 308 feet high, ‘There are many hot springs and small lakes, also the largest lake— Yellowstone—at {ts helght in North America, There are several paint pots —xreat cauldrons of blubbering, hiss- ing mud; many steam vents and boil- Ing pools, a natural bridge, a roaring niountain, a mountain of volcanic gluss, petrified trees and wedded trees.

T= Tamalpats and Mult Woods railway runs from Mill Val- ley, California, to the top of Mount Tamalpais—the guardian of our fa: mous Golden Gate, the entrance to San Francisco bay. ‘This minfature rail- way is but 20 miles long. The longest piece of straight track 1s 413 feet. It contains 281 curves. In one place the track parallels itself five times in a Uttle more than 800 feet—forming an almost perfect double bow-knot. So crooked is this line that if all the curves were continuous, they would make 42 complete circles. It is one of the most wonderful pieces of engineer- ing on the American continent. ‘The curious looking, «l-burning loco- motive squirms {ts way tall first, push- ing the train up the tortuous track, on a grade averaging six feet to the hundred, to the summit, 2,602 feet above the valley below. ‘The reason for it all 1s, of course, the view from the top of this peak which stands on the very edge of the U.S. A. Here, the eye, in one far- reaching sweep, commands a panorama of mountains, forest, bay, island, city and sea, lying between the Slerra mountains and the Pacific ocean which, ‘tis sald, {s not surpassed from the summit of any other mountain peak In the world. - Worth mentioning in passing, too, 1s the fact that the government record- ing station here, shows more sunshine per day than any other recording sta- tion In this country.

(GALES ON ks tre arent war bot on the guif const and ranks high as a city of delightful homes. Although not a resort, the semitropical climate ‘attracts thousands of tourists annual ly to her long, gradually sloping beach. To prevent a recurrence of the ter: rible flood of 1900, the sea wall—one of the sights of the country—was con- structed along the gulf side of the city. ‘This great wall 1s 22.408 feet long, 17 feet high, 16 feet wide at the ‘bottom and five feet wide on top. It is built of concrete and granite and rests on a foundation of piling, ‘These piles are 40 feet Iong, not less than 12 inches in diameter at the small end four rows wide, set four feet apart ‘The top of the wall Is used for a walk. To prevent water from the gulf flowing behind the wall and flooding the clty during severe storms, the grade of a large portion of the city was raised from 2 to 17 feet. This ne cessitated the raising of about 2,500 buildings and the readjustment of streets, sidewalks, street car tracks. electric lights, water and gas pipes to the new level. The filling-in material was taken from the bay. The dredges, after pumping thelr holds full, steamed up 4 canal behind the wall and discharged their lond through pipe lnes leading down the varlous streets. When the work was completed the canal was filled. The magnitude of this under- Bee go ee a ae A a ek ae ESTES-ROCKY MOUNTAIN NA TIONAL PARK.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S SYMPATHY FOR WEAKER NATIONS. OH! WOULDNT it be grand if the 12,000,000 Negroes who are under America's rule in the United States could have been given the recently purchased Danish West Indies to enjoy the bliss of the League of Nations covenant and get the practical good results of President Wilson's oft-repeated expression of "America removing the yokes from the necks of subject peoples?" But, alas! we are not self-governing, and as THE COVENANT EXPRESSLY EXCLUDES INTERFERENCE WITH NATIONAL DOMESTIC QUESTIONS we can only give "a low moan and continue to bear our load." Senator Byrnes of South Carolina expressed recently that "Negroes must not expect SOCIAL EQUALITY OR POLITICAL FREEDOM in a white man's country." We wonder if he is supporting the League of Nations covenant? PRESIDENT WILSON EXPLAINS LEAGUE OF NATIONS COVENANT DENVER, being one of the cities on the president's list of travels, had an opportunity to hear in a fifty-minute address an explanation of the great instrument, THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS COVENANT, which is engaging the minds of the people of the United States and their representatives in Congress, as well as attracting the attention of the world as never before in its history. Engaging the rapt attention of over 15,000 people who filled the large Auditorium, the president, in a very serious and impressive manner, began to explain "the covenant," giving the assurance that it was the foundation for the liberty of mankind; in his judgment, it was almost a complete protection against war; that there was no necessity to fear America's government being subjected to a super-government as some of our senators were thinking. He emphasized that America's vote in the council of the league was equal to Great Britain in reply to the objection of six votes being given the latter nation, informing his hearers of the two branches of the league—the council and the assembly, the former necessitating unanimous voting for every active policy of the league, while the latter only provided for representation of every self-governing country or dominion and had no vote; therefore, the vote of the United States was absolutely essential to the policies of the league, and thereby it had equal power with any other member. The LABOR question came in for provisions in the covenant as, in the opinion of the president, if we do not accept the treaty labor will be regarded as a purchasable commodity throughout the world. Admitting that full duty with regard to bettering labor conditions has not been done in this country, a consolation was offered in the International Labor Conference, soon to convene, and labor here was better than anywhere else. The president, in expressing himself as being proud of being an American, declared that he never fully realized its real worth, and meaning until his recent experiences in Europe, which gave him the proof that all the great peoples of the world look to America for leadership, and in spite of the objections and criticisms of the covenant he challenges opponents to produce something to take the place of the present instrument giving satisfaction to all humanity. In concluding President Wilson said: "This nation must either accept or reject the treaty," pointing out if we accept it there would be no danger to our national safety or honor; if we reject we will be exposed to suspicion, distrust, loss of trade—in fact, we would be isolated and competing with the world at a disadvantage; we would pay the penalty for our action in not entering the reconstruction of Europe. Pleading for the children, mothers, wives, sisters, sweethearts to be spared the terrible pains and heartaches of another war, President Wilson feels he has the support of the people of the United States and promises that he will never turn back from prosecuting the cause, and he has every confidence that the people will ratify THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS COVENANT.

Scott's (former special assistant to the secretary of war) official history of the American Negro in the world war, we are proud to say that this work of the author offers full and complete information of the part our men played in the great world war, as well as the great help afforded the war department by Mr. Scott in his capacity as special assistant to Hon. Newton Baker, secretary of war, and each member of our race, every home, should not be content until this work is added to the library as one of the priceless treasures of the family, to be handed down to succeeding generations, informing them of their ancestors' contribution to the successful termination of the greatest war the world had ever experienced by their defeat of an enemy that threatened the world's peace and almost succeeded in overthrowing a long-established civilization that was for the most part being enjoyed by the human family. The contents of this history cannot fail to commend itself to our people as an account of facts officially recorded from our entry in the war to our training, overseas service, actual engagements, commendations and decorations by General Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Forces; the French government, and specially interesting events of heroic deeds, with a chronology of the war and the famous treaty in its original and amended form, will forever leave an impression of the Negro's ability to measure up to world standards beneficial to the peoples of earth. We offer our thanks to the publishers, the L. W. Walter Co., 633 Plymouth Court, Chicago, Ill., for this complimentary copy, and are quite sure that, being the first complete official history of our part in the war and at the very moderate prices—$2.90 and $3.75 for cloth binding and full Kraft Morocco binding, respectively—there will be a rush of orders that will surprise the publishers. We congratulate the author and wish for him a longer lease of life for greater usefulness among his people and the world at large. Wage Earners Should Be Represented on Railroad Boards of Directors By Senator ALBERT B. CUMMINS of Iowa The permanent railroad policy bill submitted to the senate by the interstate commerce committee has these major features: Provisions for termination of government control of the railroads; their return to private ownership and operation under rigid federal control and consolidation into region systems; prohibition of strikes and lockouts of employees; joint committee on wages; representation of employees on boards of directors. © MARC A. TROBLE My personal opinion is that the wage earner should be represented on the boards of directors of the railroads. Every member of this committee believes that the classified personnel should participate in the management of the railroads. By including their spokesmen among the directors their peculiar problems could be worked out by those most concerned and best informed. If this were done I believe most of their controversies would be adjusted before they reached the point of publicity. The measure contains none of the fundamentals of the Plumb plan The Plumb plan is the soviet principle, with very little concealment. The soviet society is one in which the wage-earning class of a given industry or community exercise complete control over that industry or community. The program of the railroad brotherhoods looks to the control of the transportation industry by its wage-earning personnel. Our industrial civilization is founded on the relationship between employer and employee, and I do not believe it can be succeeded by any other. The plan of the brotherhoods would destroy that relationship so far as the railroads are concerned, and we cannot assume that it would be attempted only in that industry. Shortage of Help in the Home Is Often Chargeable to the Housewife By MRS. FRANK D. FULTON, Winnetka, Ill. The greatest problem in relation to the operation of the home is obtaining someone to assist the housewife in doing the necessary work. Inability to obtain assistance is not because of lack of compensation nor of proper working conditions. There are plenty of women who would be glad to work in the home if it were not for the social stratum to which they were relegated. Many excellent cooks are working in stores, shops, factories and offices because of the accepted difference in social position between girls who work in such places and girls who work in homes. Work in the home should be classed as the highest form of employment. The making and maintenance of the home is the principal object of all men and women. The wife is responsible for the conduct of the home, the same as the husband is responsible for the conduct of his business. The reason for shortage of help in the home is chargeable, in most instances, to the manager of the home. The man occupies a position of authority, as a rule, because of his ability to direct others. The wife is placed in charge of the home for other reasons, with the result that the foreman of the house knows less about its management and the work to be done than the employee who is assisting. I suggest that in trying to solve the problem of assistance in the home we start by educating ourselves. The solving of the problem of how to operate the home is squarely up to the wife. To solve this problem satisfactorily she must learn to do the work in the home and in addition learn how to intelligently direct others. We Should Leave Our Dead Near Where They Fought Their Last Fight By GEN. JOHN J. PERSHING, United States Army We should leave our dead near where they fell. I believe it inadvisable to return our dead from England before definite decision as to the entire question and particularly before final action in France. I have given the entire question of our dead men thought, and my opinion is that we should leave our dead near where they fell. I am sure that this course would be fully appreciated by the allies and that our government will be given every facility for beautifying and caring for the cemeteries already established on the fields won by our heroic dead. I believe that could these soldiers speak for themselves they would wish to be left undisturbed in the place where, with their comrades, they fought the last fight. Those who rest in England gave their lives in the same cause and their remains represent the same salvation as those who lie on the battlefields. The graves of our soldiers constitute, if they are allowed to remain, a perpetual reminder to our allies of the liberty and ideals upon which the greatness of America rests. I think the sentiments outlined are held by many who have given this subject thought. These sentiments should appeal to the relatives and friends. I recommend that none of our dead be removed from Europe until their nearest relatives so demand, after full understanding of all the sentimental reasons against such removal, and further recommend that immediate steps be taken for improving and beautifying our cemeteries. Mme. Fraya, the "Society Prophetess" of Paris—Women have acquired the taste for work and independence during the war. They will never lose it again, and will take a more and more active part in social responsibility. This will entail a complete transformation of love, marriage and the relations between the sexes, and even in the family. Glenn E. Plumb—The railroad experience of the last eighty years shows that no railroad ever paid off an indebtedness except by creating a new indebtedness of the same or greater par value. ```markdown ``` COLORADO STATESMAN --- The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West --- ARELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

IN the death of Melvin Homer Osborne, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Osborne, 3544 Tennyson Street, Denver has lost one of its most promising youths, the Denver University a student of whom it was proud, and the parents and relatives a member of the family circle whose loving memory will never be effaced during their earthly existence. Born in Denver twenty-three years ago, and receiving his education first in the public schools, graded and high, his ambition led him to enter Colorado College, Colorado Springs, where he matriculated, thence pursuing the chemical engineering course for two years and afterwards entering Denver University last fall. He won recognition as a brilliant student and was held in high esteem by faculty and colleagues. He gained honors in athletic sports and was a member of the football team for the 1919 season. By the accidental discharge of a rifle which he was cleaning and examining preparatory to a hunting trip, he was shot in the head, resulting in his immediate death at 6 o'clock last Saturday evening at his late residence. Funeral services were held last Wednesday, 2 p. m., from the Doulglass Undertaking Parlors, where every available space was occupied by the large circle of friends and acquaintances who came to pay their last respect to the deceased. Rev. A. Milton Ward officiated, while Miss Hermione Jones rendered a solo and led the singing. A delegation of D. U. students showed their grief laden condition, and the numerous associates of early scholastic days, as well as military service could not keep back the tears which overcame them. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful and amidst the last sad rites the remains of Melvin H. Osborne were laid to rest at Fairmount cemetery. A mother, father, three sisters and other relatives survive the deceased, and the COLORADO STATES MAN extends its deepest sympathy to the bereaved family in this sad hour of their lives.

BLANTON PARKS PRESIDED. Helena Mont. News. CHEYENNE The thirty-third session of the Colorado annual conference held at Shorter chapel last week by Bishop H. B. Parks, D. D., of Chicago, was one of the most successful ever held. The reports showed a large increase both in membership and in finances. Rev. A. M. Ward of Shorter chapel, took the lead in pastoral reports, with $552 dollars in money, an increase of $42, and Rev. A. Wayman Ward took second place with $215 dollar money, an increase of $30. Rev. I. S. Wilson of Campbell came third with $210 dollar money, an increase of $10. The Rocky Mountain district reported $1,760.75 D. M. An increase of $223.45. Among the distinguished visitors were Mrs. H. B. Parks, Revs. T. J. Ross and J. C. Caldwell, D. D., General Secretary of the Allen League, with headquarters at Nashville, Tenn. The latter brought to the conference a most instructive and inspiring message Sunday morning. Dr. Caldwell has been in charge of the young people's work for twelve years and he is being urged for the bishopric in 1920. Revs. I. S. Wilson, R. H. Harbert, John L. Williams and W. H. Prince also delivered fine sermons during the session. Bishop Parks growing popularity was evidenced by the adoption of resolutions asking for his return to the district for another quadrennium and also by the presentation of a purse of $82 by the men of the conference. The Woman's Mite missionary society under the leadership of Mrs. Janie M. Pope held a very successful session also. $1020 was the report for the conference, which shows an increase of over 100 per cent within three years. Delegates to the connectional convention to be held next month, in Jacksonville, Florida, were elected at this session, as follows: Mrs. Janie M. Pope and Mrs. Dorcas Watson delegates, and Mesdames L. S. Wilson and Anna Hicks alternates. Revs. R. L. Pope and A. M. Ward were elected delegates to the general conference to be in May 1920, at St. Louis, Mo., and Revs. J. H. Allen and W. H. Prince, alternates.

Editor Statesman:—No doubt the many readers of your extensively read paper will be surprised at reading a letter from me from the capitol of the great state of Montana. I came here from Lewistown, Montana to attend the state fair which began the eighth and continued until the thirteenth. I had heard so much of this little city that my expectations were great, but I found conditions in a way somewhat disappointing. It is a typical western town, the new and the old, the rough and the polished, the hut and the bungalow, the skyscraper and the onestory, the educated and the illiterate, the plodding rancher and the alert business man, all brush elbows in a common melting pot and go merrily on their way. This part of Montana is a mining country interspersed with ranches, the main artery of the business district was christened. Last Chance Creek, a long, narrow, crooked street having the sinious trail of a snake, lined on each side by quited number of modern business blocks and a very large number of small business houses. There are quite a number of the race here and what I could learn in such a short space of time, they are doing well, their standing in the community being very high. I like the spirit of the people here very much. Their is a lack of friction between the races. I don't mean that prejudice does not exist because I know too well, that wherever Americans of this United States goes, the purported land of the free and home of the brave, there prejudice is found. On my arrival here I was indeed surprised to learn that the Odd Fellows were in session, and to my infinite pleasure, too learn that there were several delegates from dear old Denver, Pueblo and Colorado Springs, so I had the pleasure of meeting George S. Contee and his amiable wife, Charley Burton, H. Nelson, W. E. Proctor, John F. Davis, W. H. Wadsworth, Thomas Douglas, John F. Davis Butte, L. C. Foreman, C. L. Ridley, H. G. Streat, Anaconda A. Stradrick Billings. I also met a Miss Rose B. Gordon of White Sulphur Springs, and A. W. Christman and wife of the Springs. Mr. Christman is one of the leading business men in his home town, conducts a show, store, buys hides and junk and has several whites in his employ as he can get no colored that will stick. He with the assistance to his lovable help meet is helping to solve the race problem. In a future letter will say more of the people I met here. J. H.

THE Glemps of the Nation that was given at the Second Baptist Church Sept. 2 for the benefit of the church was a grand success. Somewhere near $50 was raised from that entertainment. Mrs. Wm. Christian, the manager of the play, deserved much credit for the way and manner she conducted the affairs. Our first snow for the winter was seen upon the earth in Cheyenne Sunday morning, Sept. 21st. The Utah, Wyoming and Idaho States Baptist Association that were to convene here at the Second Baptist Church on Sept. 25-28, has been postponed until Oct. 9 on account of the State Convention meeting on the 24th of September. Quite a number of the Cheyenne people attended the conference that met in Denver last week. Rev. R. L. Thomas of Kansas, on his way to Seattle, Washington, stopped over a few days last week visiting with Rev. C. O. Smith, preaching at the Second Baptist Church Sunday night and Monday night and lecturing on Tuesday night. Miss Elaine Gaskin is visiting in Denver this week. Mr. Harold Stanley, who was hurt in a motorcycle collision about seven weeks ago is now able to be about the house. Mrs. Pauline Sheldven has come in from her homestead to spend the winter at her home in town. Rev. and Mrs. Baker of Thermopolis, Wyo., passed through the city last week on their way to the conference. Mrs. J. T. Muse accidentally stepped into a hole while on her way from church Sunday night, Sept. 14th, and sprained her ankle so that she has not been able to wear her shoe for a week. Rev. G. S. Stacker entertained for dinner Sunday, Sept 14th, Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Endicott. Rev. J. M. Endicott had a successful year, notwithstanding that the doors of his church were closed for about three months on account of the Spanish influenza. It is reported that Rev. J. M. Endicott, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, carried to the conference the best financial report that had ever went from the A. M. E. Church in the history of the church of Cheyenne. We are sure that the church is glad to have the return of Rev. and Mrs. Endicott, as well as their many friends.

A special mission to France to study conditions of his people there has added largely to his method of solution of racial difficulties in this and other parts of the world. Governors of many states, mayors of cities, and leading government officials and statesmen have proclaimed him a great leader and are adopting his methods to ameliorate conditions between blacks and whites which will suppress riots and lawlessness in the land.

IS TRANSFERRED T0 ANOTHER Young Artist Who Offers Self for Ex- periment Is Later Relieved of Transferred Malady by Means of Hypnotism. Paris.—A strange cure, of a psychic wnature, has just been achieved before # number of doctors and a few expert- amenters along the lines of psychiatry. ‘The patient was a young woman of hysterical tendency, who for seven years had been possessed with an antl- religious mania. During this time the aight of « priest, the net of passing near a church, the pronunciation of 1 religious formula all have brought on elther attacks of violence or spells of dumbness. The association of ideas which precipitate these crises were of the most fantastle kind—a piece of white paper suggested the host, ro- maine salad turned her mind toward the Roman church, a glass of char- trenge the brotherhood of Carthusian monks. At these suggestions she would tremble and faint, ‘To nourish ‘a patient under these conditions dally became more and more of a problem. Takes Extreme Measures. In Paris lust autumn the doctors whom her husband consulted advised him to Incarcerate her. Deciding to try everything else before resorting to this extreme measure, her husband, on the advee of an eminent chemist, final- Jy put her under the treatment of « well-known specialist In psyeotherapy, M. Mangin. Six months of treatment, consisting in psychic re-education, elther In a state of waking or by super- ficial hypnosis, gave only results of abort duration, The Buster festivities exasperated the putient to the point of frenzy. This decided Mr. Mangin to go to extreme measures, He began a fireless search for a subject suitable for the experiment of a transference of the malady, with all its anguish and strange manifestations, ‘This was 1 ificult task, for the subject must be ‘of such a delicate and perfect suggest- Sbilily as to be able later to be freed in turn from these same miseries.

Prehistoric Remains Show That the Builders Had a High State of Civ- ization—Native Tribes and Races Still Exist. What manner of folk are the Mext- euns? Whatever one’s views on the wisest political course toward Mexico, it will help in a thorough understanding of that country to examine the rich his- tory, the ancient civilization, the pre- historic remains to be found among our southern neighbors, says the Na- tlonal Geographic society. “Of the 16,000,000 inhabitants, two- fifths claim direct descent from an- cient tribes or families which are ac- cepted as the basis of Mexican his- tory, two-fifths are of mixed native and foreign blood, the remainder being classed under the common appellation of ‘foreign.’ “Throughout much of the country, and often within short distances of railroads, are remnants of some of the ancient native tribes or races, ad- hering to customs, methods and speech of their ancestors. Thus in Oaxaca are the Zapotecas and Mixtecas, the estimate for the two races being a half million, and a government publication mentions a dozen other families in the ‘sume state, “In Hidalgo and adjacent states, the Otomis; in Puebla and Oaxaca, the Mexicanos; the predominating Mayay In Yueatan; in Michoacan and Jalisco, the Taraseans, and the Tlaxcalans, In their native state, and other groups elsewhere, still maintain the tribal in- dividuallttes. “Although Spanish is the language ‘of the country and much English is spoken in the regions most visited, a large number of the natives use only the vernacular. “Prescott refers to the Aztecs, Tlax- calans and others as producers of deli- cate fabries, colored by vegetable dyes; Intricate designs in the precious met- ‘als, and beautiful decorations made of feathers; numerous ruins also indi- cate marvelous skill of ancient peo- ‘ples in stone-work, especially as the ‘tools used were obsidian or copper. “Evidence that this deftness tn ‘handiwork has been retained appears In the feather-work, wood-carving, stone-cutting, etc., of the present day. The beautiful pottery and unique weaves of serapes, made with the erudest appliances, and excellent fab- rication in cast or wrought tron, fill gree silver, etc., also bear testimony to the skill of the Mexican Indian. “Mexico has a wealth of archaeolog- ical relics, remnants of an anclent cly- lilzasion of which no well-defined trace existe. Volumes have been written to uemonstrate that the builders of what are nuw ruins were of Mongolian, Semitic, or Phoeniclan origin, but the riddle cannot be admitted as solved. All authorities, however, unite In praise of the magnitude and the per fection of workmanship shown at va- rlous ruins found throughout the Mex- lean territory. The region adjacent to some of these ralses question as to the source of sustenance for mul- titudes which aust have then existed, fod causes speculation upon changes which may haye occurred in the in- terval. “Prominent among these ruins are Uxmal and Chichen-Itza, in the state of Yucatan; Palenque, in the state of Chipas; Mitla, in the state of Oaxaca, and Xochicalco, in the state of Morelos. “The pyramid of Cholula, in Puebla, and those of the Sun and Moon, in the state of Mexico, have also been liberally described, but distributed over wide areas are many other ruins which have had but little or no inves: tigation, and rock sculptures, images, {dols and ancient pottery, found in numerous localities, are the only ree- ords of peoples whose history is un- known and whose names even are lost.” : The ¥ aan \ Curtis 7 aoe ae Park © 4 Wis.

Size of Bottle Does Not Indicate Quantity of Contentse—“Thick-Skinned” Bot- tles Have Deceived Many Purchasers. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Misleading pictures and other de- vices appearing on the Inbels of foods is a form of misbranding agalnst which housewives will do well to be on thelr guard, say the officials of the bureau of chemistry, United States depart- ment of agriculture, in charge of the enforcement of the federal food and drugs act. Many prosecutions and selzures are made in the enforcement of the law to prevent this subtle form of misbranding. Inconsplcuous statements in fine print are placed on the illustrated la- bel in many instances to correct os- tensibly the misleading features of the picture or other device. However, as the picture or device atracts the at- tention at once, while the Inconspicu- ous corrective statement can be seen only by a most careful scrutiny of the Inbel, the purchaser 1s certain to be misled unless attention is directed to the exact wording of the entire la- bel. The picture of an olive tree and a map of Italy on the label of a bot- tle of ofl Iends the average housewife to expect an Itallan olive oil, but a careful reading of the fine print on the label will enable her sometimes to discover that the bottle contains cottonseed ofl made in America. Cot- ¢onseed ofl is a wholesome product; fs well able to stand on its own mer- its, and is cheaper than olive oll. Oranges Pretty, but Deceptive. The picture of a luscious orange on the label of a bottle of imitation or- angeade not only adds to the attrac- tiveness of the label, but helps to hyp- notize the purchaser into the belief that he is getting the real article, not- withstanding the fact that there is tucked away somewhere in a mass of fine print a little statement to the ef: fect that this most excellent bever age is but an imitation. Many consumers asking and paying for Arabian coffee accept a package having on the label the picture of an ‘Arab mounted on a fiery steed and imagine they are getting the aroma of the delightful beverage of the far East, although there is on the label ‘an inconspicuous statement that the USE FOR MUSCADINE GRAPES Pulp Left When Making Jelly or Grape Juice Furnishes Idea!

CANNED FISH ADDS VARIETY Plan for Housewife to Prepare and Serve Palatable Meal on Very ‘Short Notice. (Preparea by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) ‘With a supply of canned fish and meats the housewife can prepare and serve a palatable meal on short no- tice with saving of both fuel and time. ‘They also make possible a more varied diet, lessening the dependence upon cured, salted, and smoked meat, the constant and exclusive use of which means a monotonous and less wholesome diet. Immense Waste of Milk. If every home—there are 20,000,000 ‘of them—should waste on the average one-half cupful of milk daily it would mean a waste of 2,500,000 quarts daily —912,500,000 quarts a year—the total product of more than 400,000 cows.

Ice and cleanliness are two great weapons of defense. ee in that particular package was produced in South America.

Even when the quallty of contents Is marked on the bottle, the purchaser {s likely to Judge the quan- tity more by the size of the bottle, which is so apparent, than by an In- conspicuous statement, which can be seen only by close observation. ‘A more recent device for making a little bit of pepper or spice look like a whole lot Is a stx-ounce tin package with a shaker top which, because it cannot be removed without destroying the package, prevents the purchaser from observing that there are only two ounces or less in the package. Deceptive devices appearing on the labels of foods or drugs subject to the jurisdiction of the federal food ‘and drugs act are in violation of that law. The question as to whether any given device is deceptive, and wheth- er the deception is removed by cor- rective statements appearing else- | where on the label, is one to be deter- mined by the facts In each case. Many seizures have been effected and many prosecutions maintained because of the use of deceptive devices held to be misleading. Some forms of devices, although deceptive, which do not ap- pear upon the labels, have been held not to be covered by the provisions of the federal food and drugs act. ‘Action will be taken in all cases believed to be in violation of the law, say the officials.

PRESIDENT'S TOUR DEMOCRATIC ASPIRANTS HOPING HE MAY IN SOME WAY HELP THEIR AMBITIONS. GOSSIP CENTERS ON PALMER Attorney General Just Now Occupies a Strategic Position—Old Politl- cians Wonder if Bryan ‘intends to Seek the Nomination Again. BY EDWARD UR CLARK Ing with interest the political effects of President Wilson's tour through the country, His first speech was dellv- fered In Columbus, O. Opinion in Its rebound from that state is being caught by the politicians, for Ohio holds within her borders two cand!- dates for the presidency—Warren G. Harding, Republican, and James M. Cox, Democrat. Politicians here, and _ especially these of them who have presidential ambitions, are wondering Just how the winds of league favor or disfavor are to blow from the people after the president has completed his trip. The wonder is if some of the politically ambitious are to trim their sails so as to go smoothly with the wind or, because they think the atmospheric conditions have set the breezes blow- ing wrong, will attempt to beat “up wind.” At least four or five Democratic candidates known to he in receptive mood are hanging on the president's utterances day by day as he goes through the country, hoping that somewhere a cheering word for their individual ambitions may be let fall. To these gentlemen the president's ut- terances on the league will be mat- ters of secondary Importance because all of them have espoused his views on the matter. The thing of prime importance to them will be some pos- sible word from the chief executive which will indicate that he ts strong- ly in favor of some specific national doctrine for which one or the other of them may have taken a stand. Gossip Turns to Palmer. One still hears more from the poll- ticlans in Washington, so far as the Democratic nomination {s concerned, of the aspirations or supposed aspira- tlons of Champ Clark and William G. McAdoo than of those of other proml- nent Democrats. Today, however, the trend of the talk in the cloakrooms and elsewhere {s turning to some ex- tent to Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer as a posible candidate for the Democratic nomination. Mr, Pal- mer today Is in something of a strate- gle position, for his work ts inti- mately connected with the attempts to bring down the high cost of living. ‘a subject which is pretty close to the hearts of all people who do not happen to be millionaires, ‘The Democrats also have taken cognizance of a recent pronouncement of William Jennings Bryan, Some of the old politicians are wondering if Mr. Bryan will try it again. He al- ways has managed to hold on to the affections of strong following. Josephus Dantels, secretary of the navy, said something a little bit cryp- tle the other day. The Interpreters of his utterance think that possibly it means Mr. Daniels is in a receptive mood. Some of the Republican senators seem to have approved, temporarily at least, the ambitions of one of their number who, It is known, would like much to be president of the United States. There are some rather cold political analyzers of conditions who say the Republican senators’ attitude in this matter Is assumed for present purposes only, and that later they will part company one with another to take positions behind what is called the heart candidate of each one of them. ‘This may be or may not be true, but such a condition is not ut all unprecedented, for this kind of thing has been recognized for years as belng a part of the political game. First to Parade In Washington. Congress in joint session 1s about ro honod Gen. John J. Pershing. Al- ready the bill making him a general for life has been signed by the presi- dent. He has been nominated. and has been confirmed by the senate. It is probable that congress will give him its thanks, and present him with a sword as a further evidence of its recognition of his services. There is to be In a few days a pa- rade of the First division of the A. E. F. in this city, It will be headed by General Pershing, who, while not the direct commander of the diviston, com- manded the army of which it formed a part. Washington has had no great parade of troops like unto that of May, 1865, when the armies of Grant, Sher- man and Sheridan marched up the broad avenue in review before the president and the commanding gen- erals, and took two, days to complete the mareh. There have been several small pa- rades recently of returned soldiers in the town. ‘The one in which the First division will appear will be greater than any of Its predecessors, Wash- ington was made so war-weary that It never has responded enthusiastically 4s aéldlers” homeconiings: The wartorn occasions. The press und the maga- gers. of the parade have done all that they could to arouse the citizens to a sense of thelr “cheering duty.” Fine Record of the First. ‘There Is a reason for specially hon- oring the First division, It was the first large contingent of American troops to be dispatched to France, where it went In June, 1917, under the command of Maj, Gen. Willlam L. Sibert, who trained the division for six months in France, prepared It for the front line offensive and took It Into Its first fight, Later General Sk bert was recalled to the United States to become the chlef of the chemical warfare service, Other major generals who at varl- ous times elther commanded or served with the First division are: Robert L. Bullard, W. 8. McNair, E. B. Ely, F. W. Coe, J, W. McAndrews, Charles P. Summerall, Frank Parker and B. F. McGlachlin, All of these major gen- erals will have part in the parade. It was a part of the First division which engaged in the first warfare on behalf of America, as an American fighting unit under American com- mand. The first American blood of the war was spilled at Seichprey, and It came from the veins of soldiers of the First division, Selchprey always will be a name and a place memorable in American history. =The First division fought all through the war, and it occupies a place in the hearts of the French people from which It never can be dislodged. ‘The sentiment of the French for the First regulars is felt not only because it was the first American fighting unit to ar- rive in France, but hecause also of Its sterling fighting qualities displayed on many fields, Mental Unrest In America. Members of the administration, and members of congress with them, evi- dently are disturbed over the mental ‘unrest of large numbers of the Amer- ‘ean people, an unrest which they de- clare is hurtful and which they also declare is the result of wartime con- ditions. Business and labor stability, some of these cabinet officials and leg- islators think, cannot be secured until mental stability has been restored. From the viewpoint of men here, there are two or three sharp mnnifes- tutions of this unrest. One of them shows Itself In the inability ut present of a great many of the returned sol- diers to “stay put.” As it has been put by somebody, many of these sol- diers want to be “where they ain't.” It is the restlessness which has grown out of their Ife In France; a iife of constant excitement and movement, of black nights under alr-raid conditions and of the daily expectation of being ordered here, there or elsewhere—a condition of change which unsettled men ordinarily stable. Another manifestation seems to be the desire among men and women, who are not soldiers, to let up in their work tnd to be temporarily, at least, un- willing to work as concentratedly and as long as they did prior to the break- ing out of the war. This condition 1s noticeable among the hitherto steady workers of the land, and it probably will take some thme, so men here seem to think, to change this condition. In part, this sort of thing {s held here to be the result of the hard, driv- ing work during the war, when nearly everybody was on his mettle, Washing- ton, however, looks with something like concern on the evident disposition of a part of the American world of workers to look for a life of seml- ease. It is recognized that only a com- paratively small part of the men and women of the country are affected in this way, but, as the legislators and others view it, the part fs large enough to give concern, ‘Affected by Unrest in Europe. ‘This lutter condition of things Is at- tributed by many to the unrest in cer- | tain parts of Europe, where bolshevisin seems to have affected the minds of the people and to have made them be- lieve that happiness comes from doing | the least amount of work possible, and | this naturally leads, so it is sald, to “that further condition or state of mind which makes shirkers of men and women. It Is recognized by the men here who have given consideration to this condi- tion of things that when world matters finally settle down into something lke normal there may be a readjustment of mental conditions and a change in the viewpoint of those who seem to think Just now that work, as work, Is not worth while. ‘There are men In different parts of the United States who are engaged In preaching a doctrine of “do nothing,” or, at least, “do very little,” and telling thelr hearers that true happiness Hes angers: « \clegy relate taps Rep as tetera fag ~ States With Spanish Names. ‘The following state names are of Spanish derivation: —California—hot furnace; Colorado—color red; Florida —feast of flowers; Nevada—snow cov- ered: Oregon—wild marjoram. SAYS QUESTIONS OF MORAL PRIN- CIPLE CAN NOT BE ARBI- TRATED. 60000 TO 70,000 EMPLOYES OWN STOCK IN THE STEEL CORPORATION. Weatern Newspaper Union News Service. New York, Sept. 26.—After being shown a dispatch quoting John Fitz- patrick, director general of the steel strike, as saying the walkout would end immediately if the United States Steel Corporation would arbitrate dif- terences, Elbert H. Gary, directing head of the corporation, declared in a statement, speaking for himself, that he believed the board of directors “can- ‘not negotiate or confer with Mr, Fitz- patrick or his associates.” Mr. Gary wax shown the dispatch , while he was attending a dinner given here by Baron Kondo, president of the Japan Mail Steamship Company, and was asked to make some comment, breaking the silence he bas maintained since the beginning of the strike, Mr. Gary wrote a statement while seated at the table and then, calling the news- paper men Into the hall, read it to them. “The board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation are the representatives of nearly 150,000 stockholders, including from 60,000 to 70,000 employés,” said the statement. “We are their servants and are select- ed to represent and protect their in- terests and also the interests of all our 250,000 employés, the majority of whom [think are not members of labor unions, “Moreover, I believe our corporation s under great obligations to the gen- eral public concerning the issues in- volved in the pending strike. In these circumstances, I would not at present assume to answer the question pro- pounded to me. “However, I will say for myself that questions of moral principle cannot be srbitrated nor compromised, and in iy opinion such questions are includ- ed in the present unfortunate struggle. 1 also think we cannot negotiate or confer with Mr. Fitzpatrick and his as- sociates us union leaders concerning our employés whom these gentlemen have volunteered to represent.” Mr. Gary, who was the principal speaker af the dinner, referred in his address to the statenrnt he had Issued, saying: “If the strike succeeds It prob- ably would be the heginning of an up- heaval which might bring upon all of hss grave and serious consequences, And you know that the questions involved ‘ny this strike, which is led by Foster, an acknowledged evolutionist, are higher than the interests of the United States Steel Corporation, PREMIER TALKS ON TREATY. Paris—Premier Clemenceau de- livered his long-expected speech in the debate on the ratification of the peace treaty In the chamber of deputies. The whole trend of Its arguments in favor ot the treaty was that the treaty was one of solidarity between allies, who, nnited in war, must be united in peace. Clemenceau warned the chamber that iv it refused to ratify the treaty it would make it an instrument of death to France, while if the chamber rati- fied the instrument France would be- come imbued with its spirit, which would mean the life and resurrection of the country.

That is, the fabrics used for them are appropriate and beautiful, the lines on which they are cut are graceful and dignified, and they are not overtrimmed or freakish in any particular. There are several new cloths, including many pile fabrics, used by the manufacturers of wraps. Each has its own name and it would be burdenome to under ake to memorize them all. But they are soft, with velvet or suede finish, resembling duvetyn and Bolivia cloth which have made themselves familiar. Besides these there are the wool-furs and fur fabrics that have become important among materials for wraps. All of them are soft Contributors to Some clever and charming women, experienced globe trotters among them, insist that no one needs more than two suits, a good-looking frock or two, a separate skirt and a small collection of blouses to dress well enough for almost any occasion. They confide that successful dressing, with a meager outfit, depends upon choosing clothes very carefully to start with and on the possession of smart accessories of dress, more than anything else. A plain, beautifully fitted and faultlessly tailored street suit may be inconspicuous, but it becomes a background for small and exquisite accessories that lift the costume up to the plaque of distinction. Odd vests, collars and cuffs of lace, chic shoes and bags, just the right collar or fur neck piece and, most important of all, a hat that has the cachet of unusual style, lend a new air to what might be commonplace without them. In the accompanying picture a collar and vest combination, with a shopping bag of ribbon and a hat to match the bag, challenge any suit to remain unnoticed in their company. The collar and vest are made of embroidered net in a lace edging, bordered with narrow, fine Val lace. Plain net is and rich looking and of a texture that accommodates itself to the swinging lines of the present styles in wraps. accommodates itself to the swinging lines of the present styles in wraps. The short jacket which has the effect of a cape, shown in the picture, is made of a taupe colored fur-fabric that resembles moleskin and is quite as warm and rich looking. The jacket sets closely to the figure and is belted in with a belt of the material that slips through slides at each side of the back and front. It fastens at the front, holding the garment snugly to place. To accomplish a graceful wrap the designer has set in shaped pieces insed of sleeves to give the capel-like effect and used a shawl collar, widened at the back to further his aims. He has turned out a charming and cozy wrap that is warm and durable, which can be bought at a price that is within reason for the woman of average means. Success in Dress used as a foundation for this piece. Accessories of this kind make gifts that are sure of enthusiastic appreciation from one's friends. These, and collar and cuff sets, made of durable Jaces, like cluny, Irish crochet and filet, are not to be omitted when one is reckoning with a satisfactory outfit in mind. The pretty shopping bag is one of those which entice us to linger at the ribbon counter. It is made of narrow, heavy satin ribbon in two shades sewed together in strips that alternate the colors. It is lined with plain satin and sewed to a metal mounting with handles made of the ribbon. The rows of ribbon are stitched together with corded edges overlapping, and the bag is bound with the darker shade. In the drama of rich autumnal colors there are deep purplish reds and glowing nasturtium shades that will make wonderful bags of this kind. The hat to match has a brim and top crown of georgette crepe and the side crown banded by two collars made of satin ribbon like that in the bag. --- NEWS and GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON WASHINGTON.—Smuggling and rum-running on a large scale by airplane and submarine is looked for in the very near future by Daniel C. Roper commissioner of internal revenue, and by other government officials unless preparations are made in advance to this captive was made, and the claals of the government have no doubt that large quantities of contraband liquor have reached this country already over the same air route. There is reason to believe that some venturesome ploneers of this new mode of smuggling through the air have already landed several thousands of dollars' worth of semiprecious stones from the topaz mines in Mexico, somewhere in the interior of the United States. At any rate, the menace to the national revenues has become so immediate that Secretary Glass has decided that he will ask congress for transfer of 600 airplanes and hydro-airplanes from the army and navy to his department and funds enough to create an effective air patrol. Later on he will ask also for the transfer from the navy of a large fleet of boats specially designed for chasing submarines, in order to protect the seacasts and estuaries from the danger of smuggling by submarines.

Yap is strangely old and strangely up to date. Its inhabitants are still in the stone age of progress. The natives are strict prohibitionists. Bachelor clubs closed to the women dot the islands.

"The chief decoration of the male is a string of pink shells made into a necklace, and since no man is rich enough to own such a treasure the best ones are loaned out for such a period as the wearer may choose to be dressed in the height of fashion. As there are no button holes, the man may wear two bouquets in each ear, a sort of corsage bunch in a large hole in the lower lobe and a small boutonniere in a smaller hole in the ear higher up. Shell cuffs made of conches add the finishing touch to the correct attire." Other details given are that "large money" of the island consists of millstonelike disks of limestone from Babelthunap, 400 miles to the south, and one of these disks is four feet in diameter. Such a piece of currency may be worth 10,000 coconuts.

"It will interest you to know that upon restoration to duty both made good soldiers. Sebastian died in battle in the Alsne offensive in July, 1918. Cook was wounded in that battle and restored to health in time to fight in the Meuse-Argonne battle, when he again fought gallantly and was for the second time wounded. He has been now restored to health through medical attention and has been honorably discharged from the service." "Kismet"—it is fated—says the Turk.

Popular celebrations during 1920 will, it is hoped, include pageants inauguration of monuments, university functions, establishment of lecture ships, scholarships, etc. The attention of the treasury department was particularly directed to this new danger of employing modern methods in smuggling by the accidental capture of an airplane that came across the Canadian border into northern New York with several cases of contraband liquor. It was entirely owing to an accident, however, that this capture was made, and the off- clals of the government have no doubt liquor have reached this country already. There is reason to believe that some mode of smuggling through the air has dollars' worth of semiprecious stones where in the interior of the United States.
