LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Sham Of American Democracy Exposed VOL. XXV. Sham Of ican De cy NEW BEDFORD, MASS.—At a public meeting of the New Bedford Branch of the Colored Civic League of Massachusetts, Edwin B. Jourdain made a strong address in which he defined the unadulterated Americanism, for which the League stands. The address, which was printed in the New Bedford "Mercury," read in part as follows: Why all this unrest, turmoil and violence in democratic America, vaunted "land of the free and home of the brave?" Why this open and contemptuous defiance of the laws of the land? Because we are not sincere. Because American democracy is not real. Because we are satisfied with pretensions; with appearing to be what we are not; with proclaiming lofty platitudes and great principles, rather than practising them. Because our vainglorious boasting has degenerated into rank hypocrisy, and our national honor besmirched. Our country has wonderful visions, she is dreaming of shedding the glorious light of democracy through all the world. But the salvation of American ideals and institutions, the security of her very form of government, even of her existence, demands that she cease blowing iridescent bubbles, and turn the searchlight of truthful investigation within. That she x-ray her own political and social system and locate and eradicate the cancerous growth before it destroys her. The nation must needs recognize the vital fact, that the so-called "Negro question" is the most fateful question before the nation to-day. It concerns both races; it embraces humanity. It is not a question of race or color, it is solely and entirely a question of the supremacy of the American Constitution and the laws of the land over the forces of mobocracy and lawlessness. Upon the correct solution of the "Negro question" depends the future success or failure of American democracy with all that implies in world influence and welfare. It is an axiom that — "Nothing is settled until settled right." The "Negro question" has been sidetracked, pigeon-holed, kicked out of national councils, compromised by national government, but it still persists, and very evasion and compromise has brought shame and disaster to the nation. It is the only controversy which ever developed treason in an entire section of the nation, disrupted the federation of States, drenched the land in the blood of its choicest youth. And it lines the unrepentant South solidly up still in rebellion 'gainst right, its country's laws and humanity. When I say "South" I mean that section which has unconstitutionally legislated against the manhood and the citizenship of every colored American within its borders. All of which is diametrically opposed to every principle of true Americanism and of democracy. There is no color line in Americanism, none in the Constitution, the State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc. State House liable People RADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, C charter of American rights and liberties. And no man or section has the right to limit or define Americanism by either race, creed or color. The leading exponents of Bolshevism, the most rabid opponents of democracy in the United States to-day, are not the foreign radicals, but Americans of Southern birth or sympathies, of the Dixon, Tillman, Vardman type, who spew forth their contempt for the Constitution of their country, and shriek their defiance of it from the rostrum, the pulpit, and even the floors of the national halls of Government itself, to which position the lawlessness, fraud, violence and unconstitutional legislation of their rebellious section has elevated them. Does America desire that any part of our country should fall heir to the caste mantle of "the beast of Berlin?" The colored American is still progressing despite all the obstacles hellish hate can interpose, his face is set toward the sunlight and the morning and either to this, his native land, of under alien skies if needs must be, he is going to work out his salvation and achieve his destiny. If American brutality forces him to expatriate himself, then America will have surrendered all right to her sounding proclamation of liberty and democracy and the day of her destiny will be over. That must not, cannot be, and this black race which has fought for and died for this land is going to live and strive to put its principles and laws into practice, to redeem it from the forces of reaction and lawlessness. CHARGES ANTI-NEGRO PROPAGANDA CAUSED OMAHA RIOTS. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, today made public a statement charging that a prominent cause of the Omaha riots in which the Mayor of the city narrowly escaped hanging, was distorted newspaper accounts featuring the word Negro in connection with crime. In many cases, according to the statement, alleged crimes were attributed to Negroes and it was afterwards discovered that the victims could not in any way identify the criminals. "To the race riots in Atlanta and in Washington which are directly attributable to newspaper headlines, is now to be added the shame of Omaha," says the statement. "Trouble was foreseen for months. A recent report from our Omaha branch says: "Since the Washington and Chicago riots we are having to fight a propaganda to discredit the Negro in this community. The Daily News, Bee and the World-Herald, our daily papers, persist in placing in glaring headlines every alleged crime of Negroes. Upon investigation we find they have no ground for doing so, as the victims do ```markdown ``` People's Paper ADCO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SAN not in many cases know who their assailants are. We are writing the Chamber of Commerce asking for a conference with them, the newspaper men, and such leading citizens as they deem best. We hope in this way to stop some of it as our requests to the papers have been ignored." "As early as last June the Omaha branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held a meeting protesting against remarks of the chief of police in which he seemed to hold the entire colored population responsible for the acts of a few Negro criminals. At that meeting resolutions were passed deploring the tendency of newspapers to emphasize by glaring headlines the race of suspected assailants in cases of crime attributed to colored men." To Replace What Mob Destroyed CORDELE, Ga.—A remarkable proceeding on the part of the white citizens of this place took place a short while ago, when a mass-meeting was held to consider the restoring of the Negro church buildings, which were destroyed by the mob several weeks ago. A committee was appointed to investigate the damage done, and to report this amount needed to be raised to make good this destruction. This committee reported as follows: "Pursuant to and in connection with a mass-meeting held at the Court House some weeks ago concerning the burning of Negro churches in the county, a number of white and colored citizens met at the site of one of these churches Thursday and made an investigation of the number of churches destroyed and the cost of rebuilding them. It developed at this meeting that there were three churches destroyed. A careful estimate of the amount necessary for material only was placed at $2,500 for the three. It being thought that if the white people provided the material that the Negroes would do all the building. Those present, both white and colored, agreed that this would be a just and agreeable division of the burden. "To the end of raising this fund it was arranged to put on a one-day campaign both in the communities of these churches and in the city of Cordele. This campaign is to be waged on Thursday, September 25. To this end committees were appointed to work, both in the county and city, and it is confidently thought that these committees will meet with the same degree of success that has always characterized our splendid citizenship. "There is no more worthy or meritorious cause that we could engage in than assisting to restore the colored church buildings so wantomly destroyed. In no section of our country is the colored race more peaceable, law-abiding and industrious than in Crisp County, and we should recognize in this attitude some degree of consideration for their welfare. "Another thing which we should recognize and appreciate is the fact that notwithstanding the great labor unrest over the country and the agitation to excite labor, our colored race in this county has remained free from these influences—at the same time the colored race constitutes practically all our labor. It is felt that no trouble will be had in raising the money on next Thursday to serve every purpose in rebuilding the burned churches. So far no one has been found guilty of burning these churches, although a large reward was and is still offered." AMERICAN LEGION NOTES A COLORED POST OF THE AMERICAN LEGION, has been formed among the returned soldiers and sailors and meets every Wednesday night at the Soldiers and Sailors' Club, 2404 Clarkson street. The state convention was held at Pueblo, September 23rd to 24th, inclusive. We were well represented by our three delegates, Messrs. Perkins, Lippan and Von Dickerson. The convention went on record as wanting a cash bonus of at least $360 for every soldier who was drafted in this war. There were 157 delegates at convention, six were colored. Mr. Perkins was nominated against two whites for a director on the state executive board and was defeated by one vote. It behooves every colored soldier and sailor in Denver to join the American Legion, for it stands for many things that are beneficial to him. Do you know that every returned soldier or sailor by virtue of his having been drafted entitles him to enter the School of Mines, Denver University, Colorado University, and that the Methodist Centenary Movement will give to any soldier of that faith $250 to help him while in school? Do you know that the state of Colorado has $14,000 left from an appropriation of $25,000, for the entertainment of returning soldiers, and if our post had the majority of returned soldiers as members we could feel positive of getting some favorable consideration from the governor of this state in a contemplative interview as to the purchasing of the present club building now being run by the War Camp Community Service (who, by the way, will close all their clubs October 31st) out of that remaining $14,000? You can readily see where numbers will be a deciding factor in this interview. There are many other things pending of vital importance to the returned soldier and he can learn of them by coming to the meetings of the American Legion every Wednesday night. The soldier is extremely interested in this organization because he readily has seen the benefits that will be derived from being a member. While we are allowed the same privileges and benefits, let every ex-service man of this war become a member. Lt. Col. Roosevelt is the organizer and have a membership of one million and a half ex-service men. The national convention will be held at Minneapolis November 10th to 13th, inclusive. From the First Congressional District there are two delegates allowed to go. We are going to send one to represent or at least represent the colored soldier. It is hoped that every public spirited citizen will feel themselves a committee of one to tell every returned soldier or sailor they may come in contact with, to make his way to the Soldiers and Sailors' Club and learn of the many opportunities open for him and the personal benefits this organization will bring him by virtue of his being a member.

MOTON'S LETTER TO PRESIDENT WILSON, AND REPLY TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALABAMA, October 4.—Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, gave out today a letter which he addressed to President Wilson on the subject of lynching and mob violence in this country, in which he made the following statement: "I want especially to call your attention to the intense feeling on the part of the colored people throughout the country towards white people, and the apparent revolutionary attitude of many Negroes which shows itself in a desire to have justice at any cost. The riots in Washington and Chicago and near-riots in many other cities have not surprised me in the least. I predicted in an address several months ago, at the fiftieth anniversary of the Hampton Institute, on the second of May—ex-President Taft and Mr. George Foster Peabody were present at the time—that this would happen if the matter was not taken hold of vigorously by the thoughtful elements of both races. "I think the time is at hand, and I think of nothing that would have a more salutary effect on the whole situation than if you should in your own wise way, as you did a year ago, make a statement regarding mob law; laying especial stress on lynching and every form of injustice and unfairness. You would lose nothing by specially referring to the lynching record in the past six month; many of them have been attended with unusual horrors, and it would be easy to do it now because of the two most recent riots in the North, notably, Washington and Chicago. The South was never more ready to listen than at present to that kind of advice, and it would have a Extravagance in America Not Con- fined to the Rich Extravagance in America Not Con- fined to the Rich Extravagance in America is not confined to the rich. If it were, the high cost of living problem would have been solved long ago. For extravagance plays directly into the hands of the profiteers. The total sums wasted in an orgy of spending by the rich, great as they may be, are small compared with the totals represented by the wasting of a few dollars cash by the wage earners and the poor. A Baltimore paper recently published a story of a colored workingman who went to a haberdasher for shirts. He absolutely declined to look at any but the most expensive and finally left with twelve silk shirts at $9 each. It is an extravagance for a millionaire to buy a dozen $9 silk shirts. Mighty few of them do so. But $108 would represent far less than a day's income for the millionaire but it represented probably three weeks of grinding toil for the workingman. Thomas Dunn, a St. Louis meat dealer, recently testified before a Senate Committee that the people rather liked the high prices and that the dealer who charged the most, sold, not the best, but the most. No law or series of laws will reduce the cost of living. No prosecution or series of prosecutions will curb the profiteers NO.51. tremendously stabilizing effect, as I have said, on the members of my race. You very probably saw the account of the lynching in Georgia, of an old colored man seventy years of age, who shot one of two intoxicated white men in his attempt to protect two colored girls who had been commanded to come out of their home in the night by these two men. The colored man killed the white man after he had been shot by one of the white men because he had simply protested. "I am enclosing the lynching record for the past six months and an editorial from the Atlanta Constitution, which strongly denounces mob violence. "With all kind wishes, and assuring you of no desire to add to your burdens, but simply to call attention to what seems to me vital not only for the interest of the twelve millions of black people, but equally as important for the welfare of the millions of whites whom they touch, I am, "Very sincerely and gratefully, "R. R. MOTON." In reply to this letter President Wilson wrote Dr. Moton as follows: "My dear Dr. Moton: "Thank you sincerely for your letter of August eighth. It conveys information and suggestions, the importance of which I fully realize and for which I am sincerely obliged. I will take the suggestions you make under very serious consideration, because I realize how critical the situation has become and how important it is to steady affairs in every possible way. "Again thanking you for your public-spirited co-operation. "Cordially and sincerely yours. "WOODROW WILSON." But one sovereign remedy lies in the hands of the people of America themselves—Thrift. No profiteer can flourish if his customers decline to pay his prices. The prices of necessities of life must come down if the people of the United States curb extravagance and waste, buy only what they need and buy it wisely with due inquiry and regard to price. Saving instead of spending is sure to turn the tide of production to useful and essential things and by filling the demand for those things, to reduce their prices. The easiest method both to save and to check waste and extravagance is to put a part of each weeks income into War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates. These securities are safe and profitable and when real need for the money arises, that money is available. SCOTT'S OFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO IN THE WORLD WAR. THE COLORADO STATESMAN, EXCLUSIVE AGENTS, Room 25, 1824 Curtis St., Denver, Colo. P. O. Box 116. Elea in Amber. The history of the flea would seem to go back many centuries, but the only fossil remains of a flea that have so far been found is a single insect in a bit of Baltic amber. The flea is admirably preserved by its semi-transparent surroundings, and is in the collection of Professor Clebs. FOREIGN An intercepted Russian Bolshevik wireless message from Moscow confirms the report that the Bolshevik have been forced to abandon the town of Dvinsk, between Old Russia and Poland. A commission of German experts who have visited the mines of northern France which were devastated during the war, believes that it will take from two to eight years to restore them to their former condition. Brig. Gen. Edgar Jadwin of the American mission in southern Russia, who was reported to have been executed by the Bolshevik, is well and on his way home, according to a dispatch to the War Department from United States Minister Gibson at Warsaw. General von der Goltz, commander of German forces in the Baltic provinces, whose activities there have recently led to sharp exchanges between the allied powers and Germany, has, with his staff, joined the Russian Bolshevik forces, according to a Berlin dispatch. The German reply to the allied note demanding the withdrawal of General von der Goltz's troops from the Baltic provinces was discussed by the Supreme Council at the resumption of its meetings. It was considered unsatisfactory and Marshal Foch was instructed to draw up a new note to send the Germans. The New York Yacht Club has received from the Royal Uister Yacht Club of England, a formal challenge for series of races to be sailed for the America's cup during the summer of 1920 in American waters. The challenge specifically names the Shamrock IV., owned by Sir Thomas Lipton, as its representative. GENERAL Henry Mills Alden, editor of Harper's Magazine since 1869, died at his home in New York after a long illness. He was 82 years old. Willie Jackson, New York lightweight, knocked out Eddie Morgan of England in the fourth round of a six-round bout, at Philadelphia. Yale and Colgate universities each receive $100,000 by the will of Richard M. Colgate, soap manufacturer of West Orange, N. J., which was filed for probate in Newark. The will leaves to Henry A. Colgate, a son, stock in Colgate & Co. held by his father, while the residue of the estate, the value of which is not given, goes to the widow and a daughter. The Protestant Episcopal church of America will spend in foreign and domestic missions during 1920, $1,215,200 more than was appropriated for the work last year, if recommendations of the board of missions which met at Detroit, to the riennial general convention, are adopted. The board recommended a total budget for mission work of $3,242,749. The clocks of the country will be turned back one hour, under the provisions of the daylight saving law, Oct. 26, the last Sunday in October, at 2 o'clock in the morning. The law, which was passed in 1918 and repealed in the summer of this year, says that the clocks shall be turned forward one hour on the last Sunday in March and turned back to normal time again on the last Sunday in October. Plans have been completed and forces throughout the country mobilized for the national railroad accident prevention drive scheduled for the period of Oct. 18 to 31, 1919. It is allied to a similar movement conducted by the United States railroad administration in June and follows close upon the remarkable results attained in that drive in lessening deaths and accidents on our railroads. There will be 187 roads, employing nearly 2,000,000 men and operating approximately 231,000 miles of track, competing for first place in th's drive. The roads in the central western region, in which Denver is included, have approximately 325,000 employés and 55,000 miles of track. The Aero Club of America and the Aerial League of America have announced the appointment of a commission to arrange for the aerial derby around the world to be held in 1920. The commission which is to arrange the air race is composed of Commodore Louis B. Beaumont, president; Maj. Charles J. Glidden, executive secretary, and Benjamin Hillman. The members will leave New York Oct. 10th for a trip around the world to arrange for the race, and will sail from San Francisco Nov. 3rd. Two men lost their lives and another narrowly escaped death when he was cut off from land at the end of a burning pier, and property worth $1,500,000 was destroyed in a fire that swept the plant of the Standard Guano Company at Curtis bay, Md. The bodies of the dead men, both negro employés, are buried in the debris. The man caught on the end of the pier was taken off by a tug, the master of which risked destruction of his craft by coming alongside the blazing pier. Several small schooners were damaged. A series of explosions shattered windows in houses several miles from the plant. Mark (Shorty) Thornton, arrested at York, Pa., for alleged participation in holding up and robbing a Garden City, San Jose, Calif., bank clerk of $4,500, has been taken back to San Jose. Thornton, who has stoutly denied his part in the holdup, confessed. At the request of the Youngstown Avlat on Club, the city council has ordered the solicitor to prepare an ordinance regulating air "traffic" over Youngstown, Ohio. The Aviation Club asks that all flying at less than 1,500 feet be prohibited and that stunt filers be required to stay at 3,000 feet. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. WESTERN J. E. Canfels, a farmer near Hadden, Kan., is dead of injuries suffered when a bull gored him. The bull charged him and he threw a bucket over his horns, but the bull felled him with his front feet and then gored repeatedly. William Warn, a farmer charged with being insane, stood off a sheriff's posse that attempted to arrest him at Denison, Iowa, by using his wife as a shield, while he fired forty shots. When his ammunition was exhausted, he used the last shell to kill himself. The National Sheep and Wool Bureau has been notified by its president, Alexander Walker, at Washington, that majority leaders in house and Senate would introduce into Congress at the December session the bureau's "Truth in Fabric" bill. The measure is purposed to compel labeling of woolen fabrics and clothing to show the presence of shoddy and cotton. Harry S. New Jr., slayer of his sweetheart, Freda Lesser, will go to trial in the superior court at Los Angeles Dec. 16th, instead of Oct. 27th. The continuance was granted by Superior Judge Craig when Lecompe Davis explained additional time was necessary for the defense to prepare its case and for the taking of important depositions in the East. Plans are being made at Los Angeles by a local motion picture producer to make moving pictures of scenes in the Bible from cover to cover. The Bible will be filmed in 100 reels, two to be shown at a time. It is expected the work will require two years, and that in some scenes the largest number of persons ever appearing in a motion picture, will be assembled. Mrs. Jack Powers, a bride of but one month, ended her life by drinking poison at her home at Frederick, Oklahoma, following her discovery of a letter in her husband's pocket from a former sweetheart, who had not heart of his marriage. Mrs. Powers met her husband as he came home from work, told him what she had just done and died in his arms in a few minutes. A note written before the deed said she did not wish to stand in the way of his happiness. WASHINGTON With disposition of the peace treaty expected by Nov. 1, congressional leaders are discussing the prospects of closing the extraordinary session, which began May 19, so as to have a month's rest before the regular December session begins. Despite the popular belief that the number of large fortunes has increased during the last few years, income statistics made public by the bureau of internal revenue showed a considerable decrease for 1917 in those reporting incomes in excess of $150,000, but a marked increase in those reporting net incomes of less than $150,000. The figures were considered ever more surprising as regards incomes of $1,000,000 and over. There was a decrease of sixty-five in such incomes, only 141 being reported in 1917. The Senate has passed a bill placing a punishment of $5,000 and imprisonment for five years for transporting stolen automobiles in interstate commerce. The National Equal Rights League, which is under negro leadership, with headquarters at Boston, telegraphed the chairmen of the judiciary committees of Congress, saying that the triple lynching at Lincolnton, Ga., makes two triple, one near-double and one single lynching in eight days. The telegram urges "that this constant mob murdering" imposes a duty on the committee of "formulating legislation giving the federal government original jurisdiction over lynchings." The number of women employed by railroads in heavy work while the war was on and when men could not be obtained is being reduced steadily, Director General Hines announced. Women employed in all occupations on federal controlled roads July 1, were 4.9 per cent fewer than on April 1, but those working in round houses had been reduced 23.6 per cent and in shop work 18 per cent. The total number of women working on railroads July 1 was 82,294. Thousands of British subjects will immigrate into Mexico about the middle of October, according to Excelsior, a newspaper of Mexico City. The colonists will settle in Durango and Chihuahua. Arrangements for their passage into Mexico are to be made by Gen. L. Gritchley of the British army. The state of New Mexico has asked the Supreme Court of the United States to determine the boundary line between Colorado and New Mexico concerning which there has been a dispute for many years. Synopsis of Elastic 6c Fare Ordinance The Solution of the Tramway Fare Problem as Drawn Up by City and Tramway trol shall investigate in detail the increased or decreased expenses caused by the change in wage schedules. If the Board finds a decrease or increase in revenue necessary to meet the corresponding reduction or increase in pay rolls, then it may approve properly readjusted rates of fare. The ordinance further provides as a check upon the Tramway that the Board of Control shall not approve any increase in fares to take care of a wage scale which is greater than the average wage schedules prevailing in the cities of St. Louis, Omaha, Kansas City, Minneapolis and St. Paul. THIS ordinance provides a solution of the Tramway problem that is simple and effective. The plan contemplates avoidance of disputes and turmoil which might result from a fixed rate of car fare, and has as its basic principle the flexibility of adjustment of street car fares to wage expense. The ordinance fixes the fare at six cents, with free transfers under the existing transfer rules. The six-cent fare is based and conditioned on the present schedule of wages paid by the Tramway to its employs. If the Board finds that the wages paid by the Tramway are in excess of those paid in the before-mentioned cities, it is required to notify the Tramway what rate of fare above or below six cents may be charged, and in no case is it to be allowed a fare high enough to pay such excess over said average wage schedule. Whenever this present wage schedule is changed the rate of car fare is changed accordingly. If wages are increased, the fares must be increased to an amount sufficient to meet the increased pay roll. If wages are decreased, the fares may be decreased in like proportion. The question of wages is a matter resting between the employs and the company. The records and accounts of the Tramway concerning its wages and fare receipts must at all times be open to inspection by the Board of Control. The Board is empowered to investigate as often as necessary the schedule of wages paid in the cities named, and to require the Tramway to furnish it all information relating to the subject of wages or fare control. The increasing or decreasing of fares, however, is placed in the hands of a Board of Control, created by the ordinance, which is guided in its action by the following conditions: The Board of Control consists of three members, one appointed by the Board of Directors of the Tramway Company, one by the Mayor, and the third by the City Council. The salaries of these members are to be determined and paid by each of the appointing powers. The Board of Control does not concern itself with any Tramway affairs that are not relevant to the wage schedules and rates of fare Whenever the Tramway Company changes and increases or decreases the wage schedule it is provided that the Board of Con- The ordinance is to be in effect during the life of the Tramway's present franchises.

Under the proposed Service-at-Cost plan, the Denver Tramway system will be taken out of the present hands and placed under the direction of a Municipal Board of Control appointed as follows: One by the Mayor, one by the City Council and one by the Tramway Company. This really gives Denver Municipal Tramway control without buying the property. Reduces Cost of Operation. All items of operating expense must be approved by this Board. This will reduce operating expenses. Saves Car Riders $250,000 a Year. It will save the street car riders close to $250,000 per year by eliminating all free transportation (except firemen and policemen), franchise tax and paving between tracks, and permit hauling of freight after midnight. Limits Tramway Returns. It limits the earnings of Tramway investors to $5\frac{1}{2}$ per cent the first six months, 6 per cent the second six months, $6\frac{1}{2}$ per cent the third six months and 7 per cent thereafter, on the physical value of the property only, at before the war prices. Excess Earnings to Reduce Fare When the Service-at-Cost plan is adopted, the fare will be set at 6 cents temporarily and the Tramway Company will be compelled to deposit $300,000 in what is called a barometer fund. All earnings over actual cost of operation will be put in this fund and when the fund reaches $500,000 the fare will be reduced ½ cent. If it continues to increase, the fare will be reduced in steps of ½ cent, until it gets low enough to use up the excess earnings fund, even if the fare goes down as low as 3 cents. Successful Plan—Not Experiment. Before adopting the Service-at-Cost plan to submit to the people, the Committee of Fifty-five, representing twenty-seven different organizations, considered every conceivable plan suggested for solving this problem and finally determined upon the Service-at-Cost plan, because they believed it to be the only scientific method of permanently settling the Tramway controversy. They chose this plan because it will give the street car rider the lowest fare possible under present conditions and because it makes provision for automatically lowering the fares as the cost of operation decreases. The Service-at-Cost plan has worked out so successfully in Cleveland that the street car system in that city has been entirely rehabilitated and recently the car fares have been reduced 8 per cent, simultaneously with a 25 per cent increase in wages. The Service-at-Cost plan will permanently settle Denver's Tramway problem, prevent strikes, limit Tramway earnings, keep street car fare from going above 6 cents and gradually reduce it to 5 cents or less.

The point of saturation is known by a drop of undissolved turpentine remaining in the alcohol. A little more alcohol is added to dissolve this drop and the solution is saturated. Rubber articles should be occasionally painted or swabbed with this solution. Famous French Ecclesiastic. Famous French clerics The Swan of Cambrai was Fenelon, archbishop of Cambrai, born in 1651 and died in 1715. Of him "The Catholic Encyclopedia" says: "With him disappeared one of the most illustrious members of the French episcopate, certainly one of the most attractive men of his age—one of the most attractive, brilliant and puzzling figures that the Catholic church has ever produced." Pisa's Leaning Tower. The famous leaning tower of Pisa is of pure white Carara marble in the Gothic style. Its departure from the perpendicular has been variously interpreted, but there is little doubt that it arises from the softness of the soil on which it stands and which has given way.

THE address made by Edwin B. Jourdain before the New Bedford branch of the Colored Civic League of Massachusetts recently, and which we publish in part on the front page of this issue, brings vividly to our mind the old biblical expression. "Of the fulness of the heart the mouth speaketh," and no sane American, whether colored or white, could take any other stand, or if unprejudiced, would argue on any other side but the speaker's. Throughout the address Mr. Jourdain has succeeded in proving what real Americanism stands for and we can only in indorsing this worthy address, say that the sentiments of all loyal Americans are with the speaker and a few more of such addresses will help to create a realization of the American situation.

"The Negro will not join a union nor will he strike"—The expression of the president of the Central Trades and Labor Union once said, one of the agencies of the recent steel strike, ought to weigh very much with the heads of our government, especially at this time when all internal acts (while they may not amount to treason, etc.) in opposition to the peace and harmony of the country lend moral support to the enemy at our door, to the foe within, who is eagerly seeking every opportunity to rejoice over the unrest among certain classes in the nation. The Negro is said to be lacking in that which would help him to solve the racial problem, to unionize so as to be able to present that oneness of front which would compel a hearing from his oppressors at all times and under all circumstances working to his advantage, but we ask why should he join a union or be foolish enough to strike when the segregated idea, the separate class thought, the keeping-in-your-place theory still occupy much room in the white man's heart, and as each day passes, he endeavors to remove, layer by layer, the principles of the term UNION and utterly ignore the definition and true significance of the word? Join a union! Most assuredly, as in the great lessons taught the world by the united forces of capital which have no racial differences as the cause is in common—the object one, but the mockery before us when we are partially entertained here or admitted temporarily there without the true spirit of unity, made to feel that a bestowal of charity is the most we may expect, when we clamor for our rights, demand what is righteously ours, we are reminded that we are in the minority population and our rights merit no respect from the white man. What benefits are there to be derived from joining this qualified union and for engaging this strike? None! And because we are able to realize this we come in for more denunciation from this convenient portion of our countrymen, who in their selfishness are guided by the "rule or ruin" policy. No strikes for the Negro until the white man gives a clear and unmistakable proof of IN UNITY THERE IS STRENGTH, forgetting his deception, his racial superiority and learn the lesson again of the whole being made up of its parts. Strikes and strikers can have no real sympathizer in Negro sources today, as the organizations encouraging and engendering them have boldly declared their ability to champion their cause without assistance from our side, so therefore, we will continue to work in our sphere of unity which is commanding the attention of the educators of both races and later with the unity that is quietly growing within the race we hope to reach the standard attained by any other people or race in the world. The corporations of the country admitting the advisability of employing the capable workman irrespective of color, resolve not to be further victimized by strikers, and the Negro in his ambition for real heartfelt union measuring up to the requirements of today may be the means of adjusting all matters, a cure for all ills and the practical saving agency of this country now—The TIME OF NEED.

B. CORTELYOU, Former Secretary of the Treasury wasted annually. I cannot attempt with any degree of accuracy to name the exact amount of money spent needlessly during any one fiscal year. It is no exaggeration, however, to say that the figures will run into millions of dollars. This same condition holds today. I desire to point out that the distribution of immense sums raised mainly by taxation should be subjected to the closest scrutiny, classification and co-ordination. The present method of dealing with money matters is entirely lacking in system. There is probably no other civilized government—certainly no government which is truly representative—where there has been such a complete lack of supervision of the budget as in the United States. With a war debt of $25,000,000,000 hanging over us it is no longer practicable to meet an annual deficit by an assessment upon the nation's stockholders—its citizens. Even the United States, with a total estimated wealth of more than two hundred billion dollars, is not so rich or so powerful that it can afford to disregard the principles of business efficiency or fail to provide itself with a carefully mapped out budgetary plan. "Not the Fault of the President; It Is the Omission of Our Laws" At the conclusion of hostilities our president appointed himself, selected four associates, and proceeded to the conference in Paris. These five men spoke for the United States of America, and from the first meeting until the treaty was signed theirs was the voice of the United States. Whether the commission truly interpreted or failed to interpret the wishes of the American people they were placed in the unfortunate position of not knowing positively what our people wanted. They guessed that it favored a certain policy, which was their policy, and it may be they guessed correctly. To this day they do not know. If they had known there would be no discussion in the senate. George of England, Clemenceau of France and Orlando of Italy knew that if at any time they failed to properly interpret the wishes of their countries the legislative branches of their governments had in their possession the power of recall. No king, monarch, president or ruler of a single nation in Europe is permitted to exercise the same unrestricted right as our laws give to a president. The president must not be blamed because he exercised these unusual, extraordinary powers. It is not his fault; it is the omission of our law. Will the Democratic party, the Republican party, or a new party secure for the people of the United States a right that is possessed even by the people living under the monarchies of Europe, or shall our executive retain and exercise a power more unrestricted, unrestrained and autocratic than that of any European ruler? This is a problem for the future and is independent of the question of the ratification or approval of the peace treaty or the League of Nations. Future of the Women of Britain Lies Wholly in the Hands of Labor There are two alternatives before the women of Britain. There are 2,000,000 women who can never marry. If labor speeds up and the people work to throw off the national debt, as the French did after the Franco-Prussian war, then these superfluous women will have a chance in industry. But if the extreme labor agitators have their way everyone will be at loggerheads, the output will diminish and women will be the victims, for they will be unable to get employment. In this event there will be nothing for those 2,000,000 women to do but sink into misery or go to the colonies. Their future lies virtually in the hands of labor. I wrote in 1914: "Feminism, if it is a live thing, cannot mean the elimination of children from women's lives; one can afford to trust not only life but women for that. The time has already come when women are achieving success in their work and in the upbringing of their children as well. But complete freedom, both to work and to bear children, involves almost unimaginable changes in social conditions, in housing, nursing, education, cooking, cleaning and in industry and the professions. It is the biggest job of the feminist movement, and on its success or failure the whole thing hangs." These "unimaginable changes" are already coming about in England as a result of the war, and home life, community life, education and industry are being put on a new basis. The reconstruction program of the British government is so far-reaching that ten years ago most of us would have called it socialistic, but people have moved forward to meet it. Frau Clara Mende, German National Assembly—The emigration question particularly concerns the women at this time. Women must impress on the government that no consuls or no foreign representatives be selected who are unmarried in order that each place where we are represented the families of our representatives may become centers of German colonies. Secretary of the Interior Lane—We must stop the concentration of our work in the big cities if we are to solve for long the problem of soaring food prices. Republican National Buffalo The government of the United States for more than one hundred years has been conducted upon financial principles which would have bankrupted a private corporation within a few months. No public officer has been directly responsible for the adjustment of expenditures to receipts. No public officer has direct control over the estimates of the different departments. A distinguished gentleman in 1909 was credited with the statement that 30 per cent of the government's entire revenue—a sum totaling $300,000,000—was BY BEATRICE FORBES-ROBERTSON HALE "EVERY LITTLE BIT ADDED TO WHAT YOU'VE GOT MAKES JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE."

Mr. Arrington has lived in Denver for many years and we know of no individual in the city whose friends number more than those of "Tom," as he is familiarly called. Mr. Cager Mason and ex-wife, Mrs. Eliga Mason, of 2310 Welton street, were united in holy matrimony at the parsonage of Rev. Price, October 2, 1919. A few friends were gathered at the residence where refreshments were served and at a later hour rice was showered on the bride and groom. Mrs. Scecila Lewis cut the bride cake, Mrs. Kirkpatrick waited on the bride and groom of the evening, and all wishing the couple all happiness and blessing in life. COL. ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS was called to New York City for October 21st to take part in the Roosevelt Memorial drive necessitating a change of date in his lecture here from October 20th to November 17th.

Good luck friend Johns'. It is never too old to do good. Farewell Reception To Rev. and Mrs. A. M. Ward. Farewell Reception To Rev. and Mrs. A. M. Ward. Shorter Chapel A. M. E. Church gave a farewell reception for the Rev. and Mrs. A. Milton Ward on Monday evening of last week that eclipsed anything of its kind ever given a pastor in this city, said the old-timers. The affair was given by the various auxiliaries and departments of the church, under the leadership of Mrs. Mabel Chinn Fallings. Lawyer E. P. Blakemore was master of ceremonies. Among those making happy speeches were Messrs. E. P. Blakemore, lay delegate to the General Conference; S. A. McGuire, Harrison F. Smith, steward; Wesley Lyons, trustee; Roy C. Brown, president A. C. E. League; Walter Vernell, a congregational member; Mesdames Carrie L. McClain, Mabel Chinn Fallings, Minnie Downing, Gertie N. Ross, Laura Taylor and Nannie Johnson, Rev. and Mrs. A. Milton Ward in turn made responses, thanking each and all for their generosity and kindness shown them. On behalf of the Ladies' Aid and Julia Shorter Woman's Mite Missionary Society, Mrs. Nannie Johnson presented a purse to Mrs. Lydia Smith Ward as a token from the listed membership. Rev. and Mrs. Ward desire to publicly thank the members and friends of Shorter Chapel for cash donation of $125. Of this amount the Helping Hand gave $16.00, the Loyal Legion $12.00, and the Ladies' Aid and Woman's Mite Missionary Society $14.00 (from the respective members of each and not treasury), and Campbell Chapel members and friends gave $50.91, making a total cash donation of $175.91. Rev, and Mrs. Ward also received many other useful and pretty gifts and the friends vied with each other furnishing lunches and farewell dinners. Among the latter were Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Blakemore, Mr. and Mrs. Basil Cook, Prof. and Mrs. George Morrison, Mrs. C. M. White, Mrs. Eva La Chapelle, Mrs. Childs, Mrs. Fox, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Polk, Sr.; Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Ward, Mr. and Mrs. James Lunchford, Mrs. R. B. Anderson, Mrs. Annie Wimms, Mrs. Ruth B. Bright, Mr. and Mrs. Green Eubanks, and a farewell breakfast with Presiding Elder and Mrs. J. H. Allen, Rev, and Mrs. Ward left Wednesday via the Union Pacific with best wishes of their many friends for Los Angeles, Cal., where they are to labor as pastor and wife in the Eighth and Towne A. M. E. Church. OUR BOYS IN BASEBALLDOM. White Elephants defeated Tom's All-Stars in a very spectacular game last Sunday, winning pennant and a large purse. Tomorrow they play the famous A. B. C. at Broadway Park, where the last game of the series will attract a large attendance of visitors and rooters for the respective teams. DR. RICHARD A. RANDOLPH LAID TO REST. WHEN Shorter Church filled to its seating capacity also standing room, with members of all classes of the community, black and white, rich and poor, at the funeral obsequies of the late Richard A. Randolph, it was clearly evident that he made good among his fellow-citizens, lived a life that won their admiration, and now that he paid the toll exacted by death he merited the respect that this large, representative body of Denver citizens paid him when they attended and viewed his lifeless form last Monday afternoon. Alike some men who prepare for this final day, the deceased actually prepared his funeral ceremony some time ago—the same consisting of the redding of the Scriptures, singing of favorite hymns, "Abide With Me," "Lead Kindly Light," "Nearer My God, to Thee," and others, and remarks by anyone who was closely associated with him in place of the regular sermon. This was carried out by the Rev. R. L. Pope, Presiding Elder, who officiated, assisted by the Rev. D. E. Over, who prayed, and short addresses by Secretary Bell of the Y. M. C. A., Dean Peck of the People's Tabernacle, who knew the deceased for more than a quarter of a century and who spoke very touchingly of him, and Father Holoran of the Trinity Memorial Episcopal Church, who was very well acquainted with the Doctor. Resolutions from the Press and the Sewing Circle of Shorter Church were read paying tribute to the departed brother and also offering consolation to his wife and other surviving relatives. Mrs. Jessie Andrews Zachary sang "Face to Face" in a manner that brought comfort to the mourners, and Mrs. Lillian Hawkins-Jones very effectively rendered "I Would Not Live Always." The choir in its rendition materially helped to alleviate the burdened minds of those present, and amidst the tears that were shed, practically gave evidence of the value of singing as a panacea for anguish. The floral offerings were rare, numerous and beautiful, again proving the esteem in which deceased was held. Interment at Fairmount cemetery in charge of Douglass Undertakes; and so in silently burying the dead, the Colorado Statesman again joins the host of Dr. Randolph's friends in offering its condolence and saying PEACE BE TO HIS ASHES. Below is the resolution of the Press: RESOLUTION FROM THE PRESS ON THE DEATH OF DR. RICHARD A. RANDOLPH, LATE OF DENVER, COLORADO. "Leaves have their time to fall And flowers to wither with the north winds breath. But thou hast for thyself all seasons Oh DEATH!" Whereas, In the inscrutable wisdom of Almighty God the soul of Richard A. Randolph has taken its flight from this time to eternity, in its response to the inevitable order of the common lot of man, and Whereas, In his expressions, for the many years of our intimate acquaintance with him, he has always advocated the Freedom of the Press, demonstrated his interests in the larger human liberty of all races, by his writings and speeches which have helped to ameliorate conditions in various parts of this country: Be it resolved;—That as a token of respect and appreciation of the services rendered during his lifetime in his contribution to the aforementioned influential agencies of our community, we in humble submission bow to the will of Him, who gave us such a life for a period exceeding the biblical allotment of mankind, and out of our gratitude to Him who gives and takes, offer our sincere condolence and deepest sympathy to his surviving wife, children and other relatives, committing them to God's gracious keeping in this sad hour of their bereavement. We mourn his loss—the loss of a representative, fearless citizen who lived a life worthy of commendation: Be it further resolved;—That a copy of this resolution be sent to his wife, and one to the press. JOSEPH D. D. RIVERS, SAMUEL H. HOBSON, VINCENT P. HEWETSON WATSON. BIG DEER TO COLORADO MEN. It remained for a party of local colored hunters to bag the biggest deer of the season. Yesterday George Barnett, Charles Trotter and Ben Owens returned to the city from a deer hunting trip up Junction creek and brought back with them a five point, 360-pound dressed buck. Ben Owens is credited with killing the buck although the three members of the party fired at the same time. They missed the bigger of a pair of bucks which is as far as known still roaming the hills.—Durango Evening Herald. The usual generosity of the hunters made them divide their prize among the residents of Alamosa, bringing a small portion along with them. Mr. Trotter intends making an overcoat out of the hide. But in this hunting success came a little incident that takes us back to our youthful days of the fairy tales, and which we would classify as such, had it not been told by our friend Charlie: In hunting for the deer, our friend Trotter saw a bear, And thought it fine game for his friends to share; friends to share. But on second thought a herd game would be fought, And so he decided to let it stay there. "It would be a great thing to have shot that bear," said Mr. Trotter, "but my fellow-hunters were a certain distance from me, and I thought if I had shot and missed, then instead of Trotter and the Deer, the home folks would hear of Trotter and the Bear." We would like to see our friend Charles in an overcoat of bearskin this season, but he prefers DEER and so we join him in his choice. A cheer for our three hunters, anyway. They did well. A The Cost of Upkeep A run-down business is like a dilapidated house, the cost of putting either one back on its feet is often greater than it would be to start all over again. To let the telephone run down, in quality of service or in mechanical equipment, would mean far more than a loss to the telephone company, it would mean a loss in business to every user of the telephone. It has always been the policy of the Bell Telephone Company to keep its property in such repair that its subscribers receive the greatest possible benefit. But to keep things "ship shape" requires money, more money today than ever before. Materials cost more and wages have increased in an attempt to keep pace with the increased cost of living. The Bell Telephone Company is working hard to make ends meet, to keep its property in proper operating condition—and to pay wages which will secure the most intelligent and loyal service for the telephone user. YOUR loyalty to the telephone will make it easier for us to serve you. The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO.

DATES MAKE MANY DELIGHTFUL AND WHOLESOME DISHES. A few dates, a handful of nuts, a bit of bread and butter, a glass of milk, and one is well fed.

Nellie Maxwell HUN ARMY DEFIES ALLIES GERMANS MARCH ON RIGA IN DEFIANCE OF DEMAND BY POWERS. MAY START CONFLICT BERLIN FAILS IN ATTEMPT TO STOP ARMY, IS THE Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, Oct. 10.—The Germans are marching on Riga, according to a dispatch to the Daily Mail from its Helsingfors, Finland, correspondent. Riga is the principal seaport of Letvia, situated on the Gulf of Riga, 312 miles southwest of Petrograd. The report of the advance by the Germans on Riga closely follows a dispatch from Berlin stating that the troops under the command of Gen. von Der Goltz, whose recall from the Baltic provinces was demanded by the allies and ordered by the German government, have been making their way back into Germany. A recent report out of Petrograd stated that von Der Goltz, who at one time declared that his army of 200,000 would die for the "fatherland," had joined forces with Lenine and Trotzky. The move on Riga is not only in direct defiance of the demands of the ailed powers recently presented to the government in Berlin, but also in defiance of the Berlin leaders, who in reply to a note from Paris reported that von Der Goltz had been ordered to demobilize his forces and return to Germany. A crisis has been feared on the eastern front for weeks. FIUME SITUATION BAD D'ANNUNZIO CAUSING GRAVE CONCERN IN EUROPE. Paris.—Gabriele d'Annunzio in Flume knows the strength of his position. He won't admit in so many many words that the military party was back of his plan of occupation, but frankly claims their united support. As the old adage says, "possession is nine points of the law." In the meantime the army of Serbians is forming. It is more than probable that they intend to pay back the poet in his own coin. They are organizing near Bucari and have taken for their motto the same which D'Annunzio's band carried: Flume or death." In the Slav tongue it is "Ryeka ali sort." It is the belief that if the attack does come it will bring into action more than a few volunteers on either side. The first skirmish may be the signal for war between Serbia and Italy. Cincinnati Wins Series. Chicago.—After half a century of rooting, Cincinnati baseball fans came into their own when their Reds cinched the world's championship in the eighth game of the world's series. And it was significant that they burned up the White Sox by a score of 10 to 5. Must Mark Old Films. Washington.—Extending its recent order forbidding the reproduction of old films by motion picture houses under new names, the Federal Trade Commission ordered that where parts of old films were shown in new exhibitions they must be so marked and advertised. Plot to Kill Carranza Fails. Juarez, Mex.—An unsuccessful plot to blow up President Carranza's train during the recent trip of the Mexican chief executive to Coahuila was made by rebels operating near Bajan, Coahuila, according to El Universal of Mexico City, which has reached here. The rebels placed a dynamite bomb on the track at Bajan, through which they believed the presidential train was to pass. President Carranza and his party, however, were four hours ahead of the insurgents. King Runs His Own Engine. Chicago.—Albert, king of Belgium, while passing through Ohio and Indiana on his way west, demonstrated his proficiency at the throttle when he ran the engine of his own train. At Wauseon, Ohio, the train was stopped for the king to climb into the engine cab and take the place at the throttle. He ran the heavy train for ten miles and then returned to his car to "wash up" for dinner. Radicals Leave Gary. Chicago.—Federal agents have made another series of raids on the homes of radical leaders at Gary, Ind., and seized a quantity of firearms and revolutionary literature. It was announced that the drive against radical leaders who are said to be responsible for most of the rioting in this district will be continued until the last agitator has either been arrested or driven out. Since the raids were begun, it is said more than twenty radicals have hurriedly left Gary. WESTERN BEEF CO.

Travelling thieves, presumably the same gang that has been terrorizing Colorado towns in the last two weeks, looted the general stores of the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company at Lafayette. The Colorado State Fair, which closed a full week session at Pueblo, was among the best ever held in this state as regards exhibits, attractions in the line of entertainment, and attendance. Even the some of the most important agricultural territory in Colorado suffered from the most severe drought in thirty-five years, the agricultural output of the state this year will be the greatest on record. The body of Michael Heintz, father of Congressman Victor Heintz of Ohio, who died at Montrose, was shipped to Cincinnati for burial, as his son was unable to come west. Mr. Heintz had been a resident of the Montrose section for seven years and was a prominent farmer of that county. He was veteran of the Civil war and participated in many of the most important battles of the war. He was 76 years old. One of the most daring freight train robberies staged in northern Colorado for years was discovered when a Union Pacific freight train was brought to a stop near Nunn, a station twenty miles north of Greeley. The train crew discovered that three carloads of merchandise had been broken into between Nunn and Pierce, a station six miles south of Greeley, and goods valued at several thousand dollars had been removed while the train was in motion. The State Inheritance Tax Department received a check for $44,400, the tax on the estate of Kenneth M. Dows, late of Denver and New York. Payment of the tax, which is one of the largest received by the state in recent months, followed final appraisal of the estate by E. L. MacCulloch, one of the appraisers in the department, under Chief Appraiser R. H. Blackman. The appraisal was approved by Attorney General Victor E. Keyes, ex-officio head of the department. Plans for the enlargement and modernizing the Greeley hospital, which is operated jointly by the city and county, have been prepared and will be presented to the county commissioners shortly. It is proposed to add two large wings to the present building. The proposed new wings will provide 114 rooms, which, it is believed, will be ample for all purposes for several years to come. The wings will cost $75,000, and will be fireproof. A larger and thoroughly up-to-date operating room will be provided. The Colorado Co-operative Crop Reporting Service is making an effort this year to determine as accurately as possible what percentage of corn and sorghums is grown for grain in this state and what percentage cut green for silage. Inquiry is also being made to determine what proportion of the rye and oats crops is cut for grain and what parts are cut for hay or other purposes. This information has never been available before and will be of much value to those interested in knowing the approximate amount of silage produced in the state and the amounts of these various crops grown for grain. A runaway box car loaded with wheat rolled from Ault, twelve miles north of Greeley, to Evans hill, one mill south of Greeley. Conductor R. E. Stoner and a brakeman who rode the car during its trip, which was made at a mile-a-minute speed, escaped without injury. An extra freight was switching at Ault when the box car, which had been pushed out on the main line ahead of the engine, failed to respond to the brakes and began to roll down the grade in the darkness. After notifying the operator at Ault to clear the line, the engine crew started in pursuit. Passenger train No. 109, from Denver to Cheyenne, had just arrived in Ault ahead of the runaway. At Eaton a northbound freight train was passed in safety. The engine did not gain on the runaway car until the latter began to climb the steep grade south of Greeley. Frank Thomas, a negro, 33 years old, said to be an ex-convict, is charged by the coorner's jury with the murder of Jennie Mosby, a negress, 17 years old, on the evening of Sept. 30, at Pueblo. Rienzi C. Dickens, Longmont ranchman, who was convicted in May, 1916, in the Boulder District Court of second degree murder, following the fatal shooting of his aged father, William H. Dickens, banker and farmer, on Nov. 30, 1915, was granted a new trial by the State Supreme Court. Eleven persons were arrested, a large stock of various kinds of liquor a new still and a high-powered machine were seized in a series of spectacular bootlegging raids conducted by local police officers at Walsenburg recently. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS school purposes. Success or failure in a Cooperative Marketing Organization depends upon a number of important factors. One of these is the need for an organization. In order to be successful a Cooperative Organization must be founded on a definite, well-felt need. There must be some real service to perform; some economic saving or improvement to result. The call for organized effort should come from those desiring to form and unite with the association. Local conditions must be such as to make organized marketing advisable, A Farmers' Cooperative Exchange should not be called into existence unless there is some real service to perform—either because of a lack of local marketing facilities, or of failure to secure the full market value of their produce, or for other vital reasons—or because it can perform that service with greater efficiency and with less wastefulness than existing agencies. There has been rains in most sections of Colorado in the past two weeks which have put the soil in excellent shape for fall plowing, and this work is farther advanced than it usually is at this season of the year. Reports received by the Colorado Co-operative Crop Reporting Service indicate that the amount of winter wheat planted this fall will be somewhat less than that planted in 1918, which was the largest crop of winter wheat ever planted in the state. The season was unfavorable for winter wheat in most sections of the state this year and many farmers who were dissatisfied with the yields obtained will grow less wheat this year, while a certain amount of uncertainty as to what the price of wheat may be next year is apparently influencing a few farmers to decrease their acreage. A total of $7,280 has now been allowed to "weak" school districts from the special $150,000 fund created by the Twenty-second General Assembly since it became operative last May. Bent county, apparently the "weakest" of all counties in regard to school revenues and property, has received $4,170 of this total for twelve different districts. Other recipients of this financial aid were: Custer county, $350, Sept. 27th; Eagle, $360, Aug. 4th; El Paso, $720, Oct. 6th; Jefferson, $360, Oct. 6th; Larimer, $420, May 27th; Washington, $360, in September, and Yuma, $540, Sept. 18th. The special fund is designed to aid districts in paying teachers the salaries required by law after they have exhausted all other legal means of raising revenues for Besides winning the sweepstakes in the potato display for the fourth consecutive year, Colorado won two other sweeps, seventeen first prizes, eleven seconds and ten thirds at the Fourteenth International Soil Products exposition at Kansas City. Judging of agricultural exhibits has just been completed, and though comparative figures have not yet been compiled, it is believed in the department that this state carried off more-honors than any other, or any Canadian province. Administration, as well as fire protection, of national forests by wireless telephone is the most recent innovation attempted by the Denver district of the forest service. Two field sets of wireless telephones, designed for the signal corps of the army, have been received at the Denver forest service headquarters. The permanent state school fund was increased by $91,933.60 through auction sale by the State Land Board of 6,559 acres of state school land The sections sold are situated in Baca, Washington, Douglas, Moffat, Logan, Prowers, Rio Grande, Elbert, Lincoln, Morgan and Montezuma counties. Fire causing $25,000 loss and the destruction of the Burlington hotel, a butcher shop, a garage and several smaller buildings at Grover. A new fire department recently installed is believed to have saved the town from destruction. It is not known how the fire started. As a result of the excellent work done by county assessors in Colorado this year in the collection of statistics showing the acreage of the various crops grown in the several counties, the State Co-operative Crop Reporting Service will be able this year for the first time to determine with reasonable accuracy the production of all crops by counties, instead of only for the state as a whole. The National Wholesale Grocers' Association, comprising brokers and manufacturers, will hold its '920 convention in Colorado Springs, starting June 7, according to an official announcement made by A. H. Beckman, general secretary of the association, who has been in that city making arrangements. Preparations will be made for handling 1.000 delegates and their wives. State Treasurer Mulnix has called in $175,000 of the $865,000 issue of national defense bonds put out by the Gunter administration in 1917 to raise funds for Colorado's part in the national war program. This, with $125,000 previously called, makes a total of $300,000 worth of the bonds which have been retired, leaving $565,000 of the issue outstanding. Farming under irrigation came in Colorado almost as soon as gold mining. Its development was not rapid in the beginning, but it was steady and persistent, and today the value of the annual output of the state's irrigated farms is more than four times as great as the gold mines. State Teachers College at Greeley has completed the work of registering students for the winter term and has 370 women and sixty men enrolled. Industrial high school, which is operated in connection with the Teachers' College, has 265 enrolled. Capitol Petroleum submits the following regarding its operations in Mexico, also some general information about this field: leum underground in the United States will be exhausted by 1935, it behooves us to turn to the Latin-American oil fields in general, and to Mexico in particular. The Mexican petroleum laws are brought up to date with the view of conserving the oil and eliminating waste, above and underground. No wells can be started unless the proper provisions for shutting in the well have been made and federal officers are employed to see that these petro eum laws are enforced. Mexico wants American friendship; America will appreciate Mexico's commercial tribute from her rich granaries veins of metallic wealth, her textile and fibrous products. It is an hour for a most cordial and Christian interchange of greetings between the people of two friendly republics, and from it will grow blessings to both. CAPITOL PETROLEUM CO., DENVER, CO.

Dividing Honors With Street Suits THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY --- COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West Hats for street wear vary all the way from the plain, business-like banded sailor, in leathers, plush or silk peaver, and similar hats in tricorne and four-cornered shapes, to those with rolling and curved brims as new and original as those shown in the group above. The demand for variety in hats is insistent, as it is in other matters of dress. Starting with the banded sailor for example, even this plain model is shown in many variations. The crowns are sometimes high and sometimes low. They are either round or square and straight or belled. Hats are more or less wide, and they may be straight or curve upward. These hats are favorites with business women. A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. The shapes shown in the group are mass severe and equally popular. They are cunningly thought out to suit the various types of faces. Among them soft crowns are almost universal, and the brims fashioned to prove becoming, no matter what may be the peculiarities of the wearer. Velvet, beaver, Juvetyn, leather and other fabrics are used for making these shapes and often two colors or two materials in the same color, make a contrast between brim and crown. Innumerable small, chic feather ornaments have Dividing Honors THE COLORADO STATESMAN Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. The "all-day dress" appears to have come to stay, and is dividing honors with the tallored suit for street, traveling and business wear. It is defined by its name and is a garment for morning or afternoon wear, which made its appearance after the war began to curtail the supply of tailors, and a substitute for suits that could be made by dressmakers had to be promoted. An example of a draped all-day dress is shown in the picture. It is made of brown in tricotine, with a fascinating cascade of folds formed by draping the material at the right side, and a long row of rounded buttons lending interest to the left side of the skirt. The very simple, surplus bodice is gathered in at the waistline and joined to the skirt with a piping of the goods. The dress opens at the right side and a long narrow sash of the material ties here, in the simplest of loops and the most casual manner. A piping at the neck opening would make a severe finish if it were not for flat silk braid, put on in points, that gives a pretty and original finish to the bodice, and appears the sleeves from elbow to wrist. TWODOLLARSAYEAR --- been made for trimming hats or this character, and those who have an imagination for ribbons conceive many tailored ribbon ornaments for them. Fancy ornamental pins, with large heads and composition ornaments, in imitation ivory, Jet and other things—as tortoise shell for one—make a variety of simple trims possible. The shape at the upper left of the group has a rolling brim that curves and is thrust out to the front in a way that proves becoming to mature faces. Just below it at the lower left is an opposite. In this shape the back of the hat is extended and the front shortened, with brim turned back. This gives the "fleeting profile," becoming to youthful faces and regular features. The shape at the upper right hand is a familiar favorite that almost any one can wear, and that at the lower right is one of those smart tricornes that delight the heart of the matron. Holding the center of the group is one interpretation of the perennial French sailor, with brim rolling upward and a soft crown made of sections of velvet in a contrasting color. The shape's the thing to consider first in selecting millinery and there is one for every face. With Street Suits It will be noticed that the hat worn with this dress is a strictly tailored affair of black hatters' plush, one of the many banded sailors that are business-like and popular for street wear. Grosgrain ribbon makes its very effective trimming. Many an all-day dress was once a street suit. There are so many designs for making these one-piece frocks that they tempt the thrifty to remodel suits that are out of style, or show signs of wear, and give them a new lease on life. With the popularity of more fanciful styles remodeling becomes easier, and it is the fashion to be economical. With a world in need of clothes, every yard of wool or cotton goods should make itself useful in the wardrobe or be eliminated from it. Many people are in need of clothes for the coming winter, and many have more than they need. If you have a suit that has served its day with you pass it along to some one who can remodel it into a good looking dress. --- --- THE WONDER ART OF THE GROWTH A Complete Cour or Personal Ins The Peerless V tem, Ready MON Doorway to Prospe MADAM C.
