LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Interchurch World Movement Plans Nation-Wide Survey of Conditions Among Negroes. VOL. XXVI. NEW YORK, Dec. 1st.-The Interchurch World Movement is undertaking a study of conditions of the Negro churches and Negro communities of United States, both city and country, as a part of its plan of a complete survey of the church and community needs of the entire nation and of other countries throughout the world. Church and community needs will be studied. Already schedules for rural conditions have been prepared and are being sent to state representatives in all the states where Negroes reside. These schedules will be used by trained and competent Negro leaders and investigators who will visit their own churches and communities for gathering the facts. The churches will be studied along the lines of physical equipment, extent of the parish, financial resources, the minister and the relation of the church to recreational and other activities of the community. The community will be studied from the point of view of land ownership, occupations, community organizations, roads and other means of travel, etc. In addition to the rural survey there will be special studies of Negro occupations, educational institutions and of city life. The survey will be so organized that in every state where there is a considerable Negro population there will be a Negro associate supervisor to work with the white supervisor, the associate supervisor carrying out the plans for the Negro survey. There will be competent leaders in every county to visit the Negro churches and communities gathering facts. A most important and unique feature of this program will be inter-racial councils, or committees, as the policy of this movement is to have councils of church representatives which shall be inter-racial. The representatives of the colored churches will meet in council with representatives of the white churches to talk over and make out plans for reaching both parts of the community. Dr. George E. Haynes, of the United States Department of Labor, has been called and arrangements made with him for supervising the survey among colored people without severing his connection as Director of Negro Economics for the Labor Department. The Interchurch Movement is a cooperative organization of Protestant denominations through their mission boards, home and foreign agencies and churches for the purpose of effectively meeting the new demands of the new day. The plans of the movement call for careful study of the conditions and equipment of each church and the needs of each community surrounding each church. Following such a study, representatives of the churches will meet together and make up a practical program of work based upon facts which have been found. This practical program will aim to meet discovered needs both of the church and community. But the making of a program is effective only when the means are provided for carrying it out. Therefore, the next step will be a plan to carry out an educational campaign through conventions, conferences, newspaper publicity, etc., to inform the people throughout the United States of the church and community needs and of the program to meet them. When the people are thus fully informed, the co-operation denominations that have been planning these forward movements will unite in making an appeal to their constituencies for the money and the leadership necessary to put the program into effective operation to meet the needs. This movement will not interfere in any way with the regular organization of any church or denomination. The work from beginning to end will be done by representatives of the various denominations. The regular church and denominational organizations will be used as a means through which the work will be done. One of the most hopeful features of the movement is that it does not aim at federation or union of denominations nor does it try to deal with administration of any denominational activity. It is only attempting to carry plans through which each denomination may cooperate with all other denominations in meeting the religious and life needs of the people, while at the same time preserving denominational independence.

DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1919 state Hist. & Nat Hist Bcs State House able People's Pa RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S HEIR TO $40,000.00. The chancery court of Richmond entered a decree giving $40,200 to W. E. Hope, of 1201 U street northwest, Washington, D. C., and his sister, Mattie M. L. Hope, of Richmond. A certain piece of property located in Richmond on Fourth street, between Broad and Grace streets, has been in litigation in the courts for a number of years. This property belonged to the estate of Sarah Anna Hope, who died a few years ago, leaving only two children to inherit it, W. E. Hope and Mattie M. L. Hope. Her status in the property was uncertain, which made the status of the inheritance more uncertain, as a result of which Col. Giles B. Jackson, who associated with himself Major Sol Culchins, instituted proceedings in the chancery court for the settlement of the legal status of William E. Hope, of Washington, D. C., and Mattie M. L. Hope, of this city, the only heirs to this property. By this decree the court established the title and directed the sale of the property, which brought $40,200 at public auction. This is the largest sum of money recovered by any colored person since the Bettie Thomas Lewis case, whose father, a white man, died without a will. Under the laws of Virginia, a colored child can not inherit property from a white father, as the marriage of white and colored persons is prohibited. Hence the suit brought by Bettie Thomas Lewis and successfully maintained that her father gave her, before he died, the key to his vault in the bank and told her that what was in the vault she could have. Thereupon the court decided in her favor for $200,000. This $40,000 suit won by W. E. Hope is the next largest judgment rendered in favor of a colored person in the Virginia courts, and he should feel congratulated as well as his counsel, Col. Giles B. Jackson.—Washington Eagle. CHEYENNE, WYO. NEWS. The wedding of Reuben Smith and Miss Lillian Jefferson was solemnized at the home of the bride's father, Mr. H. C.

The house was tastefully decorated with yellow and white chrysanthemums. Following the ceremony a breakfast of chicken salad, rolls, brick ice cream of the color scheme, yellow and white, and delicious cake and coffee was served. A host of beautiful presents were received, including cut glass, silver and linens, and a check for $300 from the bride's father.

LAW AND ORDER A NATIONAL ISSUE. Hampton, Va., Nov. 30.—That law and order is a national issue was made clear recently by Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in his address before the Negro Organization Society of Virginia and the Virginia Negro Teachers' Association, which held a four-day joint meeting at Lynchburg. Dr. Gregg said: "The riots, lynchings and kindred outrages which have followed one another with sickening rapidity during the past few months at Washington, Chicago, Omaha, Elaine and elsewhere, remind us and prove that this epidemic of ferocity is nation-wide, afflicting the North as well as the South. The lynching of a white man in Centralia, Wash., recently shows that no race is safe." In discussing preventative measures, Dr. Gregg said: "This is a time when the white men of the South and of the North should leave no one in doubt where they stand, whether for law and order, for decency and justice and humanity, or against these fundamentals of civilization. The kind of people who make up a mob are not such as should intimidate any American who has red blood in his veins and courage in his soul. We applaud the occasional sheriff who defies the members of the mob; are we sure that we should be equally brave? "On the other hand, let me say, just as frankly and emphatically, that the colored people of this country owe it to themselves and to their friends to make it indisputably plain—as they usually do—that they are not countenancing or excusing any deeds of wanton violence or criminal reprisal by members of their own race. Self-defense is one thing; murder is another. The lawless man, whether white or black, is the enemy of society. He must be restrained and sternly punished for the sake of the whole community." "If the cure of such evils—lynching in particular—can be accomplished through local agencies, by all means let it be done so. But if not, the time seems right for the adoption of the course suggested by the Atlanta Constitution and the Houston Post, namely, federal intervention." The Negro Organization Society, of which Allen Washington, Hampton's commandant of cadets, is president, and John M. Gandy, president of Petersburg Normal School, is executive secretary, was heartily endorsed by Dr. Gregg, who said: "The only sure preventative and cure of the viciousness, injustice and barbarity which lynching reveals is through such persistent, thorough-going education of both races as this society is carrying on. Better homes, farms, schools and churches. Better health, better character. These only will make and keep Virginia what Virginia ought to be." RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources --- Helena, Ark., Nov. 21st.-Sheriff F. F. Kitchens and eleven deputies leave Helena Saturday in charge of eighty-seven Negroes, seventy-five of whom were convicted of participation in the insurrection last October. Twelve of the seventy-five have been sentenced to die by electrocution and eleven were given penal sentences of twenty-one years each. A RACE COUNCILMAN. For the first time in the history of Nicholasville, Ky., a Race man was elected to the city council. George Combs, the successful candidate and proprietor of the leading undertaker's establishment and grocery store there, won by a large majority over John S. Deering (white), from the Hervytown ward. Mr. Combs is one of the most progressive citizens and a member of many orders. PROTEST JIM CROWING IN CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public an emphatic protest sent to President Wilson against race segregation in the Congressional Library in Washington. The protests asserted that colored people have been excluded from the public restaurant of the library and that colored employees have been segregated in the lunch room. "We desire most emphatically to protest," says the letter to President Wilson, "against the policy adopted by those in charge of the Congressional Library of denying to colored employees faculties which should be maintained for the use of all, and to the colored people of Washington and of the country in general the use of the restaurant maintained by federal taxes for the general public." The letter is signed by James Weldon Johnson, field secretary of the association. ESTABLISHMENT OF BANK PROPOSED. Preliminary Steps Taken for Organization of Strong Financial Institution —Capitalization to be $1,000,000. New York, N. Y., Nov. 23rd.—Plans for the establishment of a bank for Negroes in New York were discussed at a meeting of business men of the race held recently in Lafayette half-Harlem. Augusta Duncan, the originator of the idea, presided and preliminary funds to the amount of $10,000 were subscribed. The bank as proposed is to be capitalized for $1,000,000 and to be situated in Harlem. A committee of twenty-five headed by Junius M. Green, was chosen to proceed with the campaign for subscribers. It was also decided to form a business corporation to stimulate trade by Negroes between the United States and the West Indies and South America. Those in charge of the two projects stated that they are acting independently of any existing Negro organization. FREE GARDEN AND FLOWER SEED.

THEODORE H. VON DICKERSON, Manager. Origin of Names of States. Connecticut is an Indian name meaning "Long River;" Maine is regarded as of French origin from the province of Maine; Massachusetts is an Indian name meaning "Place of Great Hills;" New Hampshire is English coming from Hampshire county, England; Vermont is French, Vert Mont, meaning "Green Mountain." With reference to Rhode Island there is a difference of opinion, some claiming that it was named for the island of Rhodes and others for a prominent settler named Rhodes.

M. C. A. at Fern hall last Sunday afternoon. A fairly good crowd was present, and considerable enthusiasm displayed. The singing was lively and spirited, and was entered into heartily by everyone. Addresses were made by Mr. George W. Gross on "The Welfare of the Youth;" Dr. Westbrook on "The Progress of the Colored People of Denver;" and the Reverend Dr. Stripling on "Reclaiming the Colored Delinquent." It has been a long while since talks of such depth and earnestness and straightforward dealing with facts were listened to. Great interest was displayed in the reports from the membership contest initiated a week before by Councillor Cary. Secretary Bell led with eleven, while Mr. Cary and Mr. Spriggs reported six each, and Mr. Harrison Miller from his sick bed was reported six; others promised later reports. Mrs. Fife, though laboring under a misapprehension, had quite a goodly number of the younger boys present. A surprising feature of the drive during the past week was a report sent in by Mr. J. C. Brooks of Casper, who, together with the renewal of his own membership, sent in those of six others. Their names are: Robert Carpenter, Victor E. Fairbanks, A. C. Ford Jr., Lonnie Hodges, A. J. Lyles and George Smith, all of Casper. This act on the part of Mr. Brooks elicited very warm approval from the committee of management Wednesday evening and a recommending of a letter of thanks and congratulations to him. Mr. Brooks promises to send others later on. The High Y Club was reorganized last Tuesday evening. The club is expecting to do good work this year on account of the increased number of colored boys in the high schools. The meeting at Fern hall tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon will be in the interest of the boy's department of the drive. One hundred boys are expected to be at the meeting, which will be under the direction of Mr. William E. Parks. A live and snappy program has been prepared. Fathers and mothers are strongly urged to be present and witness the performance of their boys. The meeting as usual will be open THE GREAT MEMBERSHIP DRIVE OF THE AMERICAN LEGION IS ON. Beginning Saturday morning at 8 a.m., the central committee of the four posts in Denver will start a campaign to secure the membership of every service man in Denver. Wallace Simpson Post have a membership of twelve on this central committee, and it is to be hoped that every colored soldier or sailor will have given his membership before the drive ends at the big mass meeting at the City Auditorium Dec. 13, 8 p. m. On Wednesday, Dec. 16, at the Soldiers and Sailors' club, the post will hold its first social evening at 8 8 p. m. Every member of the post is requested to bring his mother, wife, daughter, sister or sweetheart, and enjoy the social activities of the even- ing. Refreshments will be served. FREDERICK W. PERKINS.

THE HOLIDAY SEASON I draw to a close and the holidays, our broad and quickening human asses, it behooves us to pause for a moment to thought to those things which we demand. This season of peace and impulse to the ties of friendship, season of good cheer and good deeds. It manifests its presence in a trust ourselves to the long promise merely a hat or pair of shoes—some better, both. And it suddenly oiled the heart of some friend by force.

Clothing Co., Joslin Dry Goods Co., Son Dry Goods Co., Perini Bros., Johnson Music Co., Knight-Campbell Co., for gent's furnishing goods, which are bent on giving you what can be had. AS THE year draws to a close and the holidays, with their hailowed influences and broad and quickening human sympathies will soon be at our doors, it behooves us to pause for a moment amid our busy duties and give some thought to those things which the conventionalities of life, by long usage demand. This season of peace and good will to all humanity gives fresh impulse to the ties of friendship and the love of dear ones. It is the season of good cheer and good deeds for others, kindly and unselfishly done. It manifests its presence in a variety of ways. We find it the time to trust ourselves to the long promised new suit or new dress, or perhaps merely a hat or pair of shoes—some article ornamental or useful, or, what is better, both. And it suddenly occurs to us how nice it would be to gladden the heart of some friend by some token of love or fond remembrance. A beautiful sentiment is this emotion. And it might manifest itself in a trifling souvenir, or in a more substantial and costly form, as our means or inclination may suggest. But the question naturally arising in the purchaser's mind is—where can I get just what is most suitable to meet exigencies of my case? The price and the value—these are the considerations the buyer of limited means must ever wrestle with. The holiday season is here and the demand it makes on our attention compels the great and varied display of holiday goods at the leading stores in the city. The show windows are only a preliminary of what will gain their admiration when they enter the stores and behold the line of goods specially selected for their comfort and happiness. Every preparation is made to meet the needs of the people and supply their wants so that the necessity will not arise to import from other states. The prices being very moderate, reasonable and within the reach of all, will find a cheerful response in the innumerable purchases that will be made not only in the city but the state over. Intending purchasers will discover to their great advantage that the consulting of our advertising columns result in their delight, as we carry the largest, best and most reliable stores—business firms who deem it a pleasure to have you trade with them.

INVESTMENT IN OIL STOCKS. se our people to invest in oil step companies compels us to offer the our young men shall dream dream coming from the good book, may warning, as the rush to acquire right of inquiring into the stability WE STILL advise our people to invest in oil stocks, but the present growth of oil companies compels us to offer the word CAUTION to investors. "Your young men shall dream dreams and your old men shall see visions," coming from the good book, may be applicable here in the way of a little warning, as the rush to acquire stock seems to make the individual lose sight of inquiring into the stability of the firm. There are firms and firms. It is wise to get on the ground floor, but remember, without the investigation necessary to impress you with the solidity of the company you are attaching yourself to and the kind of stocks you are purchasing, the old regret may sooner or later be yours. Some dreams wear such a phase of reality and some visions are so impressive that hardly any other result seems practical but success, but with the oil business there is a standard of calculation, and if we go about it carefully and intelligently there is no guesswork or problem to be solved in respect to safe purchase and sure return; but the facts you must know which give you the basis of calculation must be so plain that a child can understand them, as the same should be more transparent than opaque. Make, therefore, such inquiries as to who is behind the company, officers and directors of experience in the oil business, location of the property, capital of the company, and whether shares are assessable or non-assessable at any time; whether there is honesty in the protection of your interests and how your dividends will be paid you, etc., and, on these questions being answered to your satisfaction, then you can thoroughly analyze as any other business venture, satisfying yourself and investing. BUY STOCK, again we say, but in buying BE CAUTIOUS. THE GREAT INTER-CHURCH WORLD MOVEMENT. THIS movement among the Protestant Churches in America is to our mind the greatest program that the Church has undertaken to carry out, and if those at the head of it continue as they have begun, such a wonderful change will be wrought in the hearts of men, especially in this country, that either our generation or the generations to come will shout in the loudest of tones and from the depths of their souls, "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow." The three-day session held in Denver beginning last Monday, and attended by 300 delegates of the various Protestant denominations of both races, brought out as never before the powerful influence Christianity will have on the world and its people, and the discussions on the present social unrest and race difficulties in which Christianity seems to be having a challenge, proved beyond a doubt that the Inter-Church Movement resolves on using up-to-date business methods in Church administration and advocates the group method of control and finance. A number of prominent clergymen and laymen in attendance from all parts of the United States denounced any tendency towards social and racial distinction in the common cause, using the late war as an illustration, when men of different races fought side by side, massed against the common enemy with no thought except to annihilate wrong. At the closing session of the conference, W. E. Doughty of New York City, gave information "that New York bankers are convinced that the Inter-Church World Movement is founded on scientific business lines as well as sound theories on philanthropic and missionary work, and they will back the movement with $20,000,000, of which one-tenth of this sum had already been received, and the whole amount would be financed without demanding collateral from the churches." May the objectives of this great movement be attained and to this we add a loud Amen. Buy Christmas Seals and help seal the fate of the White Plague.

The plaintiff was represented by Attorney E. P. Blakemo colored of this city, and the defended by Lombard and Horn, prominent attorneys of Colorado Springs. The case was appealed to the State Supreme Court. Mrs. Robert Russ and daughter Miss Frances, returned home Tuesday from Trinidad, Colo., where they visited Mr. Russ for a few days. They report a delightful visit. The many friends and acquaintances of Mrs. E. H. Welch of 2618 Downing street will be delighted to know she is able to be home and is slowly improving. Mr. and Mrs. J.

A special session of the Legislature has been called for December 8th. Primarily the purpose of the gathering is to ratify equal suffrage amendment, but at the time it was found necessary to take care of some important appropriation matters, mainly for the reformatory at Buena Vista. That this institution has no funds was due to the neglect of the Democratic Senator from that district. In all appropriation bills for state institutions it has been the custom to have bills introduced in both Senate and House at the same time. However, this matter was turned over to the Democratic Senator and he failed or refused to give a copy of the bill to the Republican member. As a result the House had no measure and the Senate bill got lost in the shuffle. Last Sunday morning a quiet little wedding ceremony was performed by the Rev. D. E. Over in the pastor's study of the Zion Baptist Church, the contracting parties being Miss Maud Wright daughter of a popular Denver family and Walter Smith, son of Mr. George Smith employe of the Continental Oil Company and resident of many years in Denver. The young folks surprised their many friends who although they were aware of something being on the boards did not anticipate such an early event. The Colorado Statesman wishes them every happiness on their entrance to the two-fold life. EX-SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN SPECIAL NOTICE.

The plaintiff was represented by Attorney E. P. Blakemore, colored of this city, and the defendant by Lombard and Horn, prominent attorneys of Colorado Springs. The case was appealed to the State Supreme court in July 1918 by Attorney Blakemore. Aside from briefs filed, an oral argument before the court was made by Attorney Blakemore on Nov. 10, 1919 and the court handed down its opinion, Monday, Dec. 1st, favorable to the plaintiff and establishing a precedent by saying that boot-black stands are a place of public accommodation the same as a barber shop where service is rendered.

A delightful evening was spent Thursday before last when a number of parents of our children gathered at the Gilpin school at Twenty-Ninth and Stout streets to be introduced and get acquainted with the new principal, Miss Carson. While this may appear out of the ordinary, it was a timely action, as some evil thinkers began to circulate hints of segregation and Mrs. Carrie McClain who is attached to the school staff in the position of supervisor of the colored children in attendance, etc of this school district arranged the event which resulted in a most agreeable action between parents and principal. A program consisting of songs and exercises by some of the boys and girls of the school, was presided over by our popular Chiropodist, Dr. Mabel DeFrantz, which some of our prominent citizens among whom were Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, Sec. Bell of the Y. M. C. A., Mrs. Butler and others delivered appropriate speeches and read papers bearing on the better relationship between the races and the improvement of our youth in the community. Both children and parents departed from the school auditorium after two hours of enjoyment declaring Miss Carson a genial host and promising their assistance to make her administration one of the best in the history of Gilpin school. Little events as the above will help to destroy the enemy, preduice, and establish the spirit of real Americanism among both races.—Editor. THE DENVER DRY GOODS COMPANY.

Ansel and Fred were chummy, but got into a dispute before playing together long. Finally they remained away from each other for several days, and Ansel's father asked him what the matter was that they didn't play together any more.

That this book should commend itself to every member of his race that has pride in the achievements of the men who went forward to die for their country's cause, as well as the women who contributed largely to victory, goes without saying, and, having the exclusive agency in Denver for this valuable work, we desire to inform the public that we have a supply on hand at our office, 1824 Curtis street, Room 25, in the morocco binding, at the very moderate cost of $3.75 each, or cloth binding at $2.90.

MAILS MESSAGE TO MEMBERS GOVERNOR PUTS RECOMMENDA TIONS IN THE HAND OF LEGISLATORS. SETS NEW PRECEDENT SAYS ANARCHISTS OR RADICALS HAVE NO PLACE IN COLO- RADO. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Following is the governor's message in full: To the members of the Twenty-Second General Assembly of the State of Colorado. Greetings: In issuing the call for a special session of the general assembly the executive is aware of the fact that such gatherings of the law-making body have never been very popular with the people, but matters of such importance have developed since last you met that I have deemed it necessary to call you together to give them serious consideration. Such is my confidence in the intelligence of the members of this body that I am free to believe you will perform your duties expeditiously and give unbiased consideration to the best interests of the people. Since it first became known that a special session was contemplated, the executive mail has been burdened with requests for legislation of various kinds, and scores of citizens have called at the capitol to make personal pleas for various measures. All such requests have been given candid and serious consideration. The matter of a "blue sky" law has been advanced by many, but as the National Congress is giving attention to this subject, with the prospect that it will soon pass sanitary legislation along this line, it was decided best to withhold state action until something tangible as a basis has been evolved by the higher legislative body with which our state could co-operate by appropriate legislat on. My thought is that when the next regular session convenes the incentive for making it a political issue will have passed away and there will have been time for serious thought and the formulation of a measure that would accomplish the end desired and result in action that would be worth while. Likewise, the matter of the "high cost of living" has been urgently suggested as a subject for legislative action, but it is believed that as this matter is not a condition peculiar to Colorado, but rather is nation-wide, even world-wide in its scope—the reason for high prices in Colorado, in many cases, being directly attributable to conditions in other states—it was decided not to act on this matter in Colorado until after the National Congress shall have suggested remedies in the shape of enacted laws. The Colorado commission appointed a short time ago by the governor and the attorney general to investigate this subject has done a tremendous amount of work, investigating the subject from various angles, and while it has gathered a large amount of data and assembled a great many conflicting facts, the committee is not yet ready to suggest even a tentative plan for suppressing or regulating such abuses as may exist, and for this reason it was not considered wise to embrace in the call a matter concerning which it has not been possible to come to any definite conclusions. As to the matters embraced in the call, kindly allow me to offer a few recommendations: Happily Colorado was the second state in the union to recognize the rights of its woman citizenship, and they have capably exercised this right for many years. I heartily recommend the ratification of this amendment to the federal constitution and trust that it will be brought about by a unanimous vote of the members of both houses, so that the prestige of our beloved state may be increased throughout the land. The imperative need of new and additional legislation on the subject of automobile stealing is keenly realized by those who have made a study of the subject. Carefully compiled statistics disclose some astounding facts. The automobile business is the largest business in the State of Colorado, and whereas at no very remote day the automobile was considered as only a vehicle for the pleasure of the welto-do, today it is recognized as one of the absolute necessities of the times. It is stated that $250,000,000 are invested in automobiles and trucks in Colorado, and most of this investment is for business purposes. There has been an increase in motor vehicles of 22.6 per cent during 1918, and the proportion of thefts during the same period there has been an increase of about 100 per cent. Further, it is stated as a fact that delinquency among girls has increased at an alarming rate during the past year because of the use of stolen cars by so-called "joy-riders" who have unlawfully appropriated the same for their temporary use. I recommend that a rigid anti-auto theft law, with suitable penalties, be enacted as one of the most important measures which will be submitted for your consideration. The need for the enactment of legislation to curb and eradicate threats against our form of government by irresponsible agitators has been brought prominently before the public by the events of recent days, and it is deemed imperative that prompt remedial and suppressive action be taken by the general assembly in the form of a comprehensive, well-considered measure provided with all of the penalties needed for its practical and rigid enforcement. There is a vast difference between freedom of speech and rank and unwarranted license. This is the United States of America and we are a favored part of the vast sisterhood of commonwealths. Our government was founded in pain and sacrifice and has been maintained and supported by the best blood of its citizens, native-born and naturalized, and it is a fiction far-fetched for anybody to intimate that there is a desire on the part of real Americans to discriminate against citizens of foreign birth or antecedents. We are all subject to the same laws and we all benefit from the same privileges and are blessed with the protection of the same thing that has never known defeat. For this and many other significant reasons the propaganda of the anarchists or other government-defying and government-destroying individuals and agencies must be suppressed. To poison the minds of our fellow citizens with the virus of hate and vicious hawknessness is as reprehensible as is the poisoning of the body or the destroying of property. There is room in Colorado for every loyal citizen, no matter what his antecedents or the clime under which he first saw the light of day. There is no room here for the doctrines of anarchy or those who propound them, and it is our duty as public officials to provide the wise legislation needed to eradicate this recognized abuse of our rights as citizens. To avoid placing upon the shoulders of worthy and responsible citizens the burden of initiating important amendments to the constitution of the state, it has been deemed proper to ask this body to refer to the electors of the state three proposed amendments. Two of these amendments refer to the salaries of elective and appointive officers and are intended to revert to the legislature the power of fixing these salaries, as this body already is clothed with power to fix the salaries of all other employees of the state, thus making uniform the method or agency for fixing salaries. The other proposed amendment has to do with the tenure of state officers, which I believe should be increased, for with the adoption of the recall by the people a number of years ago there no longer remains the excuse for the two-year term that perhaps existed before the recall was made a part of our constitution. I carnestly recommend that these three amendments be submitted to the people at the election of November, 1920. Under this head are included several items that are urgent at this time. The regular session inadvertently omitted appropriations for the Colorado State Reformatory at Buena Vista and for the State Hospital at Pueblo. For the former I recommend an appropriation of $120,000 and for the latter an appropriation of not less than $25,000. The State Industrial School at Morrison is seriously in need of added equipment. Due largely to facts as stated in reference to the anti-auto-theft law, the population of this institution has increased to a humiliating extent, and if the state is to properly care for its delinquent girls and make of them citizens worthy to become the mothers of our children, steps must be taken immediately for their housing and training at Morrison, and I recommend an appropriation for this purpose. The appropriation asked for the Colorado School of Mines is essential if Colorado is to retain the experimental station at said school, toward which several neighboring states are casting envious eyes. I recommend a appropriation of $15,000 as the minimum to secure the co-operation of the federal government and to assure the continuance of the research and experimental work in the school at Golden. The development of Colorado's resources is a matter which should enlist the support of every citizen who realizes the largeness of the task and the tremendous possibilities of accomplishment, and I suggest that a suitable appropriation be made for the carrying on of this work which means so much to the future prosperity of the state and the happiness and content of its people. During our recent industrial troubles, especially in the coal mining sections of the state, the Colorado National Guard, composed of some of our finest and most trustworthy citizens, has been our bulwark of safety and our assurance that none of our laws would be ruthlessly disregarded or broken, and that the services of the Guard have been salutary and efficient, bringing this organization into the higher respect and sympathy of the people, is a recognized fact. I recommend that this session provide the means for paying the personnel of the Guard their meager allowance, as well as all other expenses incidental to their service for the people, and that you grant such further encouragement and recognition to them as will make the National Guard an organization to be depended upon in times of danger or stress. I recommend for this purpose such a sum as may be needed to liquidate the obligation. The executive assured the members of the Guard that their dependents at home would be cared for while they were making sacrifices for the state, and for that reason and as a matter of justice to those who were subject to privation and loss while their supporters were absent in the service of the state. I recommend that suitable provision be made by this legislature along this line, for such citizenship as is represented in the National Guard is entitled to every recognition that a grateful people can give. In order that when we adjourn there will be no indebtedness left because of this session, it will be necessary to make the proper appropriations for the liquidation of the obligations thus incurred. I regret the necessity that has induced me to call you from your homes and occupations at this season of the year, but with reasonable diligence and an attempt to accomplish your work intelligently and in the shortest possible period of time. I have no thought but that your deliberations can be concluded in time for you to enjoy, the holiday season at your home firesides. I thank you for your cheerfulness in responding to the executive call and bespeak a brief and harmonious session in which great good shall be accomplished for the people in the minimum of time.

Drain and place a layer in a buttered baking dish, cover with a well-seasoned white sauce and sprinkle generously with a rich strong cheese. Cover with another layer of onions and sauce and cover with buttered crumbs. Bake until the crumbs are brown. The secret of this delicious dish is having the cheese between the layers protected from the heat, but hot enough to melt it. Cream of Onion Soup.—Heat a quart of milk, add two tablespoonfuls of butter and two of flour cooked together and two cupfuls of cooked onions. Mash and put through a puree strainer. Season with salt, cayenne and sprinkle with minced parsley and a bit of grated cheese. Onion Sandwich.—Chop a half cupful of Spanish onion, add olive oil, salt, pepper, vinegar and mix to the consistency for spreading. Place on well-buttered slices of bread and serve for lunch Sunday night, after church. One avoids going abroad among people after eating fresh onions. When it is necessary eat a sprig of parsley which will absorb the odor to a great extent. Onion Salad.—Slice a Spanish onion quite thin, cover with French dressing, adding a teaspoonful of tomato catup, salt and cayenne to the oil and vinegar. Sprinkle with minced parsley and serve. One large onion will serve several. During the "flu" epidemic physicians, who were most successful, used a chopped onion poultice on the chest of the patient—a remedy most effective but not especially pleasant to take. Onion sirup made by baking onions and sugar is one of the best of cough cures. The fragrance of a thought may rise To nobler life and subtler guise As still as violets by the brooks— A thing too rare to set in books. Or cage in song. —Richard E. Day. EASY LUNCHEON DISHES. A dish or luncheon which is not too hearty but sufficiently sustaining will be found in the following: Curried Salmon. — Chop a small onion fine and fry brown in one tablespoonful of butter. Mix one teaspoonful Curried Salmon. — Chop a small onion fine and fry brown in one tablespoonful of butter. Mix one teaspoonful of curry powder with one tablespoonful of flour and a pinch of salt. Stir into the butter. Add slowly one cupful of hot water, stirring briskly. When the sauce is thick add one cupful of flaked salmon and cook until the whole is thoroughly hot. Salt Fish Hash.—Use salt mackerel, herring or codfish left from breakfast. Mix with an equal quantity of cold mashed potato and warm in the frying pan with a little butter, adding a bit of grated onion for seasoning. The fish and potato may be made into flat cakes and fried brown in butter, or the hash may be baked in ramekins, filled two-thirds full and an egg broken into each dish. Bake in a hot oven until the egg is set. Breaded Tongue.—Slice cold cooked tongue very thin; dip the slices in beaten egg, then in bread crumbs and cook in deep fat. Serve with tomato sauce. Stew of Oysters and Celery.—Dissolve a teaspoonful of beef extract in two cupfuls of boiling water. Add two cupfuls of milk, a tablespoonful of butter, salt, pepper and mace for seasoning. Add a cupful of finely cut celery and simmer until the celery is tender. Add a cupful of oysters, parboiled in their own liquor, and half a cupful of cracker crumbs. Bring to a boil and serve at once. Baked Sardines.—Skin twelve large sardines; bring to a boil in a little water, reserving the oil which was drained from the fish. Add a cupful of water, a teaspoonful each of worcestershire, made mustard and vinegar, with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the fish on a platter which will bear the heat of the oven, and bake. When the sauce is boiling hot add a beaten egg yolk and stir until thick. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve at once. Nellie Maxwell Unusual Preservative. The leaves of the fern plant, which grows almost everywhere, are excellent preservatives for packing food, fruit and even meat. Potatoes packed in fern leaves are as fresh in the springtime as when they were first dug in the winter. T MADAM C. J. WALKER. President of the Madam C. J.
