LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY BISHOP KIELY OF GEORGIA DENOUNCES MOB RULE Prominent Southern Church Head in Savannah Writes to the Atlanta Constitution as Follows. VOL. XXVI. BISHOP KIELY OF DENOUN Prominent Southern Church the Atlanta Const EDITOR Constitution— To those who know it is hardly necessary to state that I am a Southerner. I have no word of apology to offer to anyone for the views I hold and the stand I took in the war between the states. I had no doubt then, and I have none now, of the justice and right of the action of the southern states. I believe that their cause should have met success, and that then the South should have restored the union on the basis of the constitution as understood and I warmly love the South and her story, her traditions and her ideals are very dear to me. I resent the unjust criticism to which she has been subjected, and none has been more unjust and untrue than that which represents the South as not being in heart and soul loyal to our great union. But I fully recognize the absolute justice of one charge which is made against her, and I look with grave apprehension to the future, for no people that disregards justice can ever have the blessing of God, and we are guilty of great injustice to the Negro. The Negro was brought here against his will; he is here and he will remain here, and he is not treated with justice by us; nay, I will say that he is often not treated with ordinary humanity. Look at the statistics in our own state. Georgia stands first in the list of states in the matter of lynching. Has there ever been a man punished in this state for lynching a Negro? Lynching is murder, nothing else. Besides, it is not the fact that fair and impartial justice is not meted out to white and Colored men alike? The courts of this state either set the example or follow the example set them, and they make a great distinction between the white and the black criminal brought before them. The latter as a rule gets the full limit of the law. Do you ever hear of a street difficulty in which a Negro and a white man were involved, which was brought before a judge, in which, no matter what were the real facts of the case, the Negro did not get the worst of it? Georgians boast of being a Christian people, and this year they are putting their hands into their pockets to raise millions to bring the light of Christianity, as understood by them, to some less favored people in Europe. I would like to know if it is entirely compatible with Christian morality to treat the Negro as he is treated here? My belief is that the Negro and the white man were redeemed by the blood of Christ on the cross of Calvary, and the Christian religion absolutely condemns injustice to anyone, and forbids the taking of life. To me the murder of a Negro is as much murder as the killing of a white man, and in each case Christian civilization demands that the punishment of the crime should rest in the hands of the lawfully constituted authorities. I have lived to see in Georgia an appeal made to the highest authority in the state for protection of the lives of Colored men, women and children, answered by the comment that the Negro should not commit crimes! The people of Georgia vest in certain officials the execution of justice. Yet no lyncher has ever been punished here, and I regret to state that public sentiment seems to justify the conduct of the officials. CHALLENGE RESOLUTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA AMERICAN LEGION. The National Association for the advancement of Colored People through its chairman, Mary White Ovington, has issued a statement challenging a resolution of the American Legion of South Carolina which stated that the Association's activities would tend to cause friction between the races. The statement, which asserts that colored soldiers from South Carolina outnumbered white and that the percentage of illiteracy among the colored troops was less than among the white, is as follows: I am at a loss to understand your position regarding the work of a body that lays special stress upon securing due process of law rather than mob violence for Negroes whether they live in the North or the South. Our branches, in whatever states they may operate, voice the sentiment of the educated, lawabiding Negroes who have so recently helped America to achieve victory in the Great War. We note, however, that your resolution condemning our activities is from "the American Legion of South Carolina representing the white soldier who fought in the recent great war." We feel that we are right in considering also the opinion of the colored soldiers of South Carolina, who outnumbered the white, particularly in view of the fact that among the colored there was less illiteracy than among their white comrades at arms. Very truly yours, MARY WHITE OVINGTON. Chairman. Dec. 4, 1919.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public a telegram to Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia calling the governor's attention to the lynching of a Negro near Macon, Ga., on Sunday night and asking for an investigation of the lynching and the punishment of the lynchers. The telegram, given below, calls attention to the fact that this makes the seventy-fourth lynching in the United States since January first and the twentieth in Georgia. The telegram reads: Dec. 3, 1919. Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey, State Capitol, Atlanta, Georgia. The seventy-fourth lynching in America since January first and the twentieth in Georgia occurred near Macon, Georgia, according to press dispatches, on Sunday night when a Negro was put to death for wounding a farmer who will recover. As a signer of the address to the Nation appealing to loyal Americans to stamp out mob violence and disregard of all law and order and as one who has shown himself to be against lynching, may we appeal to you to use your official and personal powers to investigate this lynching and show lynchers that they DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1919 cannot murder American citizens with impunity. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, Field Secretary National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. CHEYENNE WYO. NEWS CHEYENNE, WYO., NEWS. Deacon Frank McCombs, who was so ill last week with the erysipelas, is greatly improved. Mrs. T. A. Edward is still improving. Mrs. Norman Penston left last week for Chicago and other points east on a visit. Cheyenne is certainly having her share of snow and wind for the last few weeks. A heavy snowstorm has been prevailing for the last three days and 25 below zero. Mr. G. S. Stacker, the groceryman, lost a two-room dwelling in the rear of 917 West Nineteenth street by fire Friday of last week. The house was occupied by Mrs. Mary Catlet, a widow with four little children dependent on her for support. Every possession of the family except the clothes on their backs were destroyed. Mrs. Catlet lost her husband with the influenza about eleven months ago. REV. J. T. MUSE Rev. J. T. Muse has received a very flattering call to the First Baptist church of Pacific Grove, Cal. The Rev. and Mrs. Muse will leave the first part of next week to visit the church and will consider the call, stopping in Ogden and Sacramento on their way out. Rev. Muse was ordained at the Wyoming Baptist State convention (white) at Douglas, Wyo., in 1919. For eighteen months he was pastor of the Bethel Baptist Mission at Eaton, Colo., and during this time he was in the service of the Union Pacific railroad store department. In May, 1918 he was promoted from night clerk in the oil house to section store-keeper, which position he held up to the time of the acceptance of his resignation of December 8, 1919. This store alone handled during the past year over $200,000 worth of material, ordered and shipped out by him, working three men on the counter, one stenographer and four to six laborers. He is well thought of by the company and on the acceptance of his resignation he was presented with the following recommendation: OFFICE OF DIVISION STOREKEEPER Chevenne, Wyo., Dec. 9, 1919. To Whom It May Concern; This is to certify that Mr. J. T. Muse has been employed in this department for the past five years, starting in as laborer and working up to section storekeeper in charge of the oil stocks at the Cheyenne Division Store, which position he has held during the past year. Anybody desiring his services will find that Mr. Muse is a very conscientious, upright and ambitious man. Mr. Muse says that he will now devote his entire time to study and work of the gospel ministry. Mrs. Muse, his wife, is a woman of a very sweet disposition and a splendid church worker, and will be of great spiritual service to the reverend in his new field of labor. We regret to lose them from our community, but our loss will be others' gain. We wish them God-speed. MOUND BAYOU TO HAVE GREAT EST VOCATIONAL SCHOOL IN SOUTH. Jackson, Miss., Dec. 5th.—Evidence of the progress of Negroes in Mississippi, especially along educational lines, is found in the fact that Mound Bayou, a Negro settlement, owned and controlled entirely by Negroes, has just voted the issuance of $100,000 in bonds for the erection of a school. It will be for teacher training and vocational training purposes. It will be the largest institution of its kind in the South. According to Bura Hilbun, State Supervisor of Negro schools, upward of $300,000 will be spent for Negro schools before the close of the present year. The State Board of Education is lending every possible aid to this development, and employs a Negro Supervisor of Schools, as well as Mr. Hilbun. NEGRO GIRL LEADS IN SCHOOL GRADES, WHITE PUPILS OPEN BOYCOTT. Sacramento, Calif., Dec. L.—A young colored woman is the storm center around which the board of trustees, the teachers and pupils of the Calexico, Imperial county, high school are revolving, according to a letter received by Will C. Wood, state superintendent of public instruction. "The colored pupil ranks highest in educational attainments among the 105 students and the white girl scholars have refused absolutely to sit on the same platform with her at the coming graduation exercises, according to information received by Mr. Wood. Job Wood, deputy superintendent of public instruction, sent a letter to the Calexico trustees telling them: "If these white girls refuse to graduate with the girl with whom they have attended school through all of the years they should go back into the public schools and have a real training for American citiezship." He also says that if there are any exercises the colored girl must be on the platform. DESERTER FROM U. S. ARMY LEADS YAQUI INDIANS. Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 29th.—An American Negro, who deserted recently from the Tenth United States cavalry, is reported to be the leader of a band of approximately 300 Yaqui Indians, who raided the eastern part of the Montezuma district early this month.

A HALF MILLION DOLLARS IN FINE HOTELS AT CHICAGO AND WASHINGTON; ACCOMMODATION FOR TOURISTS Chicago, Ill., Dec. 5th.—The Hotel Vincennes, the most elaborate and modern hotel in the country for Colored patronage, has been opened to the public, and is now one of the show places of Chicago. The building has more than 200 rooms, with telephone in each room; beautiful parlor and dining rooms, fine lobby and everything necessary to make the traveling public comfortable and happy. It is stated that the opening of this hotel, and probably others to follow, will be the means of making Chicago one of the greatest transient centers in the country, both winter and summer. MAYES STILL BATTLE FOR RAILROAD PORTERS. Washington, D. C., Dec. 5th.—President R. L. Mays appeared before the wage board Monday with Messrs. Tyler Powell and Superintendent Getty (white), in interest of the Railroad Porters' and dining car men. Representatives of the several organizations supported the Mays proposition. Mr Mays is now turning his activities toward Congress in asking that a congressional investigation be made having as its object the securing of a square deal for the railroad men in the new contracts to be drawn with other organizations. ASSAILANT OF OMAHA UNDER HEAVY BOND. Omaha, Neb., Dec. 5th.—It required a bond of $14,000 to accomplish the release of George Davis (white), alleged assailant of Mayor Smith, who was attacked in front of the court house on Sept. 28th, when a mob secured William Brown and lynched him in the public square. Mayor Smith says he is certain that Davis is the man who seized him. Davis was arrested in Lincoln about three weeks ago and since that time has been struggling to obtain bond. Four charges have been placed against him. Morris Borsky, a Jew, was also released under $5,000 bond to await trial for conspiracy to murder and unlawful assemblage and rioting. PROMINENT MAN ANSWERS LAST CALL. Chicago, Ill. Dec. 3rd.—George Washington Ellis, noted author and one of the most scholarly men of the race, died at his residence here, 3662 Vernon avenue, November 28th, after a long illness.

CHICAGO SECOND IN NORTH FOR NEGRO POPULATION. Chicago, Dec. 8.—Chicago ranks second and in point of Negro population in northern cities, the report of the Urban League today shows.

Detroit and Newark have had 400 per cent increases in the last four years." There are more Negroes in the Chicago "black belt" than in any similar area in the country. NEW CHURCHES FOR COLORED CATHOLICS IN WASHINGTON, D. C. Plans have been adopted by the Josephite Fathers, one of the most widely-known missionary bodies of the Catholic Church, to establish a branch of their organization, and will at once arrange for the erection of two new churches for Colored Catholics, who have been growing more and more numerous in recent years, and more and more restive under certain restrictions that have been placed upon them in the reserved quarters provided for them in the churches of their faith conducted by the white people. One of the churches is to be erected near New Jersey and Florida avenues northwest, and the other in the vicinity of 11th and U streets, both neighborhoods being thickly populated by Colored people. The congregation at Florida and New Jersey avenues is to bear the title of St. Francis' Church. With these two additions there will be four Colored Catholic Churches in the city, the others being St. Augustine's and St. Cyprians.

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.

Scott, special assistant to Secretary of War Baker, can avail themselves now of this opportunity, which will not last long, as there's a great demand. The matter, the pictorial effects and the Great Peace Treaty forming the appendix, make this historical compilation of the service of our race in the late world struggle the best that can be published, and Denver's homes cannot help from having this added attraction in the literary uplift of the present and future generations.

PRACTICAL BUSINESS METHODS. WE HAVE tried to advance certain practical business methods, periodically, which have resulted in permanent benefits to those of our people in business who have tried them; and seizing this opportunity which appears to be the turning point in our present day activities, whereby we must set our goal and begin to run the race in which our slogan, "to win," must sooner or later be heard, we endeavor once more to offer a reminder which we trust will be productive of much fruit, bringing about a realization of the fact that BUSINESS IS BUSINESS and when tackled in the right way can not but result in overwhelming success. Attractiveness of Business. At this season of the year, proprietors, managers, advertising agents of the various firms and stores of the other side seem to vie with one another for the best forms and features of attracting the same members of the public that patronize them as the seasons come and go, and in putting forth their best to please the masses, they generally with an air of satisfaction can foretell the good and very profitable business that will be done in the trade accompanying the Christmas season. Nor is this all, as the greater the patronage, the earlier do the business men get into the markets and factories of the world, providing the best for their customers, so that there may be no obstructions in the way of the efforts they are advancing to insure the success they feel they ought to merit. The appearance of the store premises, the regulation of the stock, the adequate service to the public in the number of employés to wait on them, so that one has not to spend all day in purchasing, the guaranteed civility of clerks and attendants—a condition indispensably necessary to great business achievements, these and other qualities are among the agents of successful practical business methods. How, When, and Where to Buy. It is alarming at times to note what is termed "the business man's risk"; how he offers before and after the particular season, goods at prices defying competition, and following his advertisement in the daily and weekly papers, the great mediums of publicity, it is rather puzzling when we try to make a calculation of his reduced prices resulting in otherwise than a great financial loss. But on getting nearer the merchant and shaping yourself into his confidence, he strikes the tones "How, where and when to buy," which produce a chord, the resonance and beauty of which always remain with you so great is the impression. So many of the businesses of our people either fail or do not bring the returns they ought to on account of the lack of knowledge in this particular, and in the lines that we follow generally there is much room for improvement in this most essential quality towards permanent success. Luck and Chance Have Lived Their Days. Trusting to "luck" and "taking a chance" used to be standards in the business life of some people, but with hard facts staring us in the face and modern business methods reducing it to a real mathematical calculation, the business man of today has forsaken the imaginary, or the fairy-tale of success, and gone the way equal to the thinking powers of the man and the "drinking deeper" proposition. Says a writer, "Wishing will not make you successful. Right thinking, right working will. Plan your life. Set a certain goal to be attained, and then form the plan, and put push behind the plan. This is better than luck. It is pluck that counts." The same is true of business, and who would desire a better suggestion or instruction in these days of such keen competition, where it takes combined efforts, and united action to bring about a success that will be appreciated by us and our posterity? It is then that our organization work for community betterment will be successful, when self-interest gives way to the sentimental ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE, and thereby we obtain both the individual as well as the collective success. Therefore as we enter THE MARKET OF COMPETITION let us lay hold of the practical hints and suggestions that come to the business man every day, and when it can be remembered that the commodities of the world have not attached to them the color of the monetary exchange, we should enter fully into the progressiveness of the business world with the same great ideas and methods that must result successfully as any other competitor. In the words of a woman of Oklahoma City, who went to the Louisiana oil field and who lost $2,500 in her first dealing in oil, and which instead of causing her to give up the game, spurred her on to renewed effort, resulting in a present successful deal of $1,500,000, we should profit by her example when she said, "A woman should be able to succeed in the oil business if she is possessed of common sense, genuine courage, self-confidence, physical strength and mental alertness. She must be able to keep sentiment out of business and never tolerate anything in the nature of frivolity." Similar rules might be applied to our business men and women who are striving for better conditions financially and in the end to hold their own with others in the GREAT WORLD'S BUSINESS OF WHICH WE ARE BOUND TO PLAY A PART.

Benefited Physically, Morally and Mentally by Military Training Benefited Physically, Morally and Mentally by Military Training By BALLINGTON BOOTH, Volunteers of America I am in favor of universal military training of young men for the following reasons: Because it seems to me that what our society and citizenship most needs is the all-round, developed character; the bringing of the course and aim of life under the influence and control of the trained mind and disciplined will—such subjugation as shall tend to the building up of physical stamina and spiritual morale. The young man trained to be such a citizen-soldier cannot but incorporate in his makeup the best patriotic elements and the most helpful principles. A. M. Because it has been demonstrated beyond dispute that thousands of young men have benefited physically, morally and mentally through the military training they received during the war. It enlarged their viewpoint of the needs of other men and proved a valuable controlling force as far as their habits, customs and dispositions are concerned. We are building for the future and everything depends upon the character of the foundation. Adequate Personal Efficiency Founded Primarily on Economy of Time By S. W. STRAUS, American Society for Thrift Any young man or young woman in America today might well memorize these words from Lord Chesterfield: "Every moment you lose is so much character and advantage lost; as, on the other hand, every moment you now employ usefully is so much time wisely laid out at prodigious interest." No phase of thrift is of greater importance than economy of time. It is easier to save dollars than to save hours. Aesop's ancient fable of the tortoise and the hare was founded on excellent philosophy, for persistent effort is bound to bring successful results. It is not hard for any of us to prevent the loss of days or weeks, but it is very easy to slip into the habit of squandering moments. The man with the driving personality, who forges ahead in spite of every obstacle, is unwilling to ever lose a single moment of time during his business hours. Adequate personal efficiency must be founded primarily on time economy. There must be proper periods taken for rest and recreation, for this is thrift of health. But there should never be absolute idleness. The young man or young woman just beginning life's stern activities can learn no better lesson than thrift of time. Without knowing this secret there can be no substantial success. Newer Relation of Capital and Labor Is Expressed by Word "Partners" Newer Relation of Capital and Labor Is Expressed by Word "Partners" By GEORGE W. PERKINS, New York Financier "The worker's fair share" has been a real problem ever since the world began. It has changed greatly as civilization has progressed, and has crowded harder and harder for solution as intelligence and education have spread and broadened. The worker's fair share was an unsolved problem when the expression that designated the relationship between the man of capital and the man of labor was "owner and slave." It still existed when the expression of relationship became "master and man." It still exists in these days when the expression of relationship is "employer and employee." These very changes in the expression used to designate the relationship between capital and labor show that steady progress has been made toward solving the problem of the worker's fair share. I take it that everyone believes that we cannot go back to the old conditions; that we must move forward to an even better relationship than that expressed by the term "employer and employee." You ask, "What is this newer relationship to be and what term will express it?" I answer that I believe it must be "partners." The profit sharing I believe in is the kind that is real; the kind that promotes thorough and efficient co-operation between employer and employee; the kind that makes partners of employees; the sort of profit sharing that is practiced between partners in a business. Full Price Paid for the Secrets of the Air; We Must Not Pay Again By PRESIDENT PAINLEVE, French Air Commission Flying is the true heir to the war. Our heroic youth in the air by their incredible daring, by their lives and deaths, have taught the world more than it could have learned in 50 or 100 years of peace flying. It is for us to see that the world does not lose this precious, precarious knowledge. The present generation of pilots, war-trained, is much the most important there will ever be. They are the bearers of a precious knowledge which if lost will take decades of toil and risk equal to those already past, to bring it back to the same level again. We have paid the full price for the secrets of the air; we must see that at all costs this terrible price does not have to be paid again. Left to itself, commercial flying, as it is at present, would perhaps sink to the level of a holiday sideshow—five-mile trips at so much per head. Governments must back it with money and encouragement so that the young pilots may not be lost to the art in opening up new lines and methods for its expansion. The country which will do this courageously, in spite of the burden the war has laid upon it, will reap an enormous advantage.

Again we wish them God-speed and every success in their new field of labor. The Spanish American War Veterans scored another point in their entertainment specialties when they qualified the pleasurable desires of the large gathering that attended their dance at East Turner hall last Thursday evening. The relief from the cold spell by way of the rising temperature was taken advantage of by the splendid crowd who enjoyed themselves immensely and who were loud in their praises of the management for having maintained their long established prestige of choice amusements for the people of Denver. The famous Morrison's orchestra was at its best and received many encores. Everyone is asking, when will be the next event. Keep it up veterans! WAR CAMP COMMUNITY SERVICE NOTES.

The Denver Negro Civic Ass'n Held EnthusiasticMeeting The Denver Negro Civic Ass'n Held EnthusiasticMeeting THE Denver Negro Civic Association held its monthly meeting last Tuesday evening, Dec. 9, 1919, at the Odd Fellow's hall, 1832 Arapahoe street. The program committee secured Dr. W. H. Thomas to make the principal address and arranged for a light smoker after the address. There were not as many out as were expected. The meeting was full of enthusiasm. It was a treat for the association to have Dr. Thomas to address them. Dr. Thomas is the new pastor of Shorter A. M. E. Church, 23rd and Washington street. He comes to the community highly recommended for his scholarly attainments and useful ministry. Dr. Thomas is a man with a great vision and with varied experience and is well able to minister to all. The subject which he spoke on to the association was, "The New Order of Things." He showed the trend of current events and marked the importance of having a well protected and developed community. The association was made to have greater hope in its purpose and more resolute in carrying out its plans to see that the community is a better place for all citizens. After a standing vote of appreciation by the association to Dr. Thomas for his able address, Capt. Thomas Campbell, president of the association called for short addresses from several of the members which was ably responded to by LeRoy Perkins, Atty. S. E. Cary, Mr. Bradford and others. The association is making good progress with nearly one hundred members and new ones are coming in at every meeting. In the near future the association expects to have a large program for the public. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The very severe weather of the past week had a natural tendency to interfere with the efforts of the workers in the big membership drive, especially during the first few days of the week. Nevertheless there were those who kept steadily at it. Miller and Waddell of the "Buffaloes," whose teamwork was long since supposed to be finished, kept combing their territory in quest of new prospects and obtained success. They are determined that not a man shall be left in their field unless he is an imbecile or bedridden or too lazy and trifling to earn $3.00 whom they shall not get. That spirit always wins. Perkins and Bell spoke before the Laborers and Builders Union last Monday night. The meeting last Sunday afternoon was under the auspices of the boys' department of the drive and was a success altogether, in spite of the severe storm which came up in the middle of the afternoon. Much enthusiasm was displayed. Bondurant's "Wildest Division," another team which has finished its work, reported several members, with several prospects yet to go after. Waller's men are also functioning. Rev. Dr. Thomas made a warm address to the boys, which was greatly enjoyed by everybody present and did much to kindle enthusiasm. Counselor Carey offered a prize of a football to the boy reporting the largest number, of members over five. A great "doubleheader" will be pulled off at the meeting at Fern Hall tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. The regular program will take place at 4 o'clock and will be under the auspices of the Blakeslee Concert Company (white), one of the leading companies of musicians of Denver. This will be a great and rare treat, as it is impossible ordinarily to secure this company. Immediately before that, however, and beginning promptly at 3:30, International Secretary Robert De Frantz of New York, who will arrive in the city early Sunday, will meet and address all the members and team workers and friends of the "Y." This will be a great, great day, and we are expecting 400 persons present. Mr. De Frantz's address will close at 3:55 and promptly at 4 the concert company will begin their thrilling program. The whole affair is absolutely free and open to the entire public. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT AND DETERMINATION OF Estate of T. O. Mason, Same as Theson O. Mason, Deceased. No. 23172. Theson O.

COMING EVENTS. The Red Cross Christmas Seal sale will take place all over the United States from December 1 to 10, 1919. Approximately $3,000,000 is the total resources of the three banks of Montrose, according to the reports recently made in the government call. A memorial tablet in honor of the twenty-two Routt county men who died in the war with Germany is to be erected in the high school building at Steamboat Springs. Never in the history of Walsenburg have so many investors visited there. Men from several states have been in town looking for business openings and for land which they can purchase. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West The state highway commission has included in its 1920 program of road improvement an item of $146,000 for building slx and one-half miles of cement road between Brighton and Fort Lupton. Immense calcium deposits have been discovered at Volcano, in Routt county. Pending the completion of a spur track to the extinct volcanoes where the mineral is found, quantities of it are being shipped to Denver. At a hearing on estimates for government reclamation projects held before a congressional committee, $300,000 was asked for the Grand Valley reclamation project and $50,000 to continue work on the Uncompahgre project in Colorado. Judge John Hough, for more than forty years the dean of mining in the San Juan country and especially Hinsdale county, is dead. Had he lived until Christmas he would have been 89 years of age. He had been county judge at Lake City, the county seat of Hinsdale county, for many years and was highly esteemed and respected by the entire community. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. Taxpayers in Denver's election voted the issuance of $2,000,000 in bonds for a building program for public schools that includes the erection of four junior high schools and two elementary schools. The school levy will be increased approximately 1 mill to take care of the interest on bonds, as well as to meet increases in teachers' salaries. The regular school levy is 6.32 mills. A prospecting course has been added to the Opportunity school curriculum in Denver when a class to last twelve weeks was formed under the direction of T. A. Weaver. The Colorado Development and Manufacturers' Association are behind the course. Mr. Weaver says that many business men are ready to grubstake prospectors who have sufficient technical knowledge to make the expense of a mineralogist unnecessary. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Harry Hatters, a Japanese, proprietor of a barber shop in Swink, Colo., was shot through the body and instantly killed by an unknown assailant, believed to be another Japanese. The shooting occurred in a building in the rear of the Saddle Rock restaurant in Swink. No further particulars of the shooting have yet been obtained. The only suspect arrested so far is a Japanese, who cannot speak English, and has failed to shed any light on the affair. A water system adequate for many years has been founded by city officials of Fleming who will submit a $40,000 bond proposal next month to taxpayers. The village has closed a deal for a half acre of ground in the west part of the town, for $3,000. It is considered a record price for land in Logan county. On this plot is located a fine well of water, and work will commence at once on another well, which will give the town three municipal wells. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. Federal aid for the construction of four stretches of road in Colorado to cost an aggregate of $278,200 is asked by the state highway commission in plans just submitted to the Denver district office of the United States bureau of roads. Chief among the projects is the building of a 2,76-mile stretch over Battle mountain between Red Cliff and Minturn at an expense of $114,000, of which amount the federal government is asked to pay $55.200, or the maximum allowed under the law for a project of that length. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. Incomplete estimates made by the State Co-operative Crop Reporting Service show that the value of all crops in the state this year is in excess of $170,000,000, which is much the largest on record. Twenty years ago the value of all crops grown in the state,as reported by Federal Census Bureau, was a little short of $17,000,000, or one-tenth of the value of all crops grown this year. Ten years ago the Federal Census Bureau found the value of all crops grown in the state to be a little short of $51,000,000, or considerably less than one-third of the value of this year's output. TWODOLLARSAYEAR Bernice Donley, 7 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Donley, was killed at the ranch home, twenty-eight miles west of Pueblo, when a heavy log from a pile on which she was playing became dislodged and rolled down upon her, crushing her body and head and killing her instantly. LABORING MASSES Possibility of an early adjournment of the extra session of the State Legislature until after the holidays already is being discussed by members of the Twenty-Second General Assembly. Careful study of the reports of county assessors on acreage of various crops in cultivation in 1919 indicate that the reports for the state as a whole are approximately 90 per cent complete, which is regarded as an excellent showing for the first year's work under the new law. Several of the counties have reports more than 95 per cent complete, while a few of then, are below 75 per cent. Special effort will be made to obtain full reports for all counties in 1920 and with the experience county assessors already have had in the work it is believed that the report for the state next year should be fully 98 per cent complete. All commercial bodies in the state will be asked to cooperate with the State Immigration Department in making a manufacturing survey of the state early in 1920. The Board of Immigration voted at its November meeting to have this survey conducted, and an effort will be made to get the work under way sometime in January, covering operations of manufacturing establishments for the calendar year 1919. The federal census inquiry will be made about the same time and many of the items of information compiled by manufacturers for this inquiry may be used without change for the state inquiry. Inquiries are coming in daily from Eastern capitalists who are anxious for investments in Gipin county mines and the indications are that 1920 will show a much greater activity in the mining industry than for many years past. The handicap that has been placed on the mines which produce only gold by the high cost of labor and mining supplies, with the staple and one price for the yellow metal of $20.67 per ounce, has retarded operation and production on those properties. E. D. Smith, agricultural agent for La Plata county, has announced that in the near future he will conduct throughout the country a series of one-day institutes, at which he will instruct the ranchers in farm management and the keeping of their accounts, many of them desiring information on a simple system of bookkeeping in particular, as they have had much difficulty in the past of making out their income tax returns. In one of the first convictions returned under the Colorado trust law, James M. Campbell, Frank Theobald, E. W. Patterson, T. S. Barnes and Thomas McCarty, members of the Master Plumbers' Association, were found guilty in the District Court at Colorado Springs of the charge of unlawful combination in restraint of trade. It is the first decision in the plumbing trust cases which have been in the courts since November, 1917. The value of all livestock on the farms in Colorado in 1919, as estimated by the Bureau of Crop Estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture, was $172,751,000. Assessors' reports show increases this year in practically all classes of livestock, so that indications are that the State Co-operative Crop Reporting Service will find the value of livestock on farms January 1, 1920, to be close to $200,000,000. Struck by a mammoth rock while at work in the Sopris mine of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, Antonio Salla, coal miner, 39 years old, was instantly killed. The rock, weighing several tons, struck Salla on the head, crushing it to a pulp and scattering brains about the working place. The lower portion of the body was also badly crushed. The dead man leaves a widow and two children at Sopris. Girard Douglas, colored youth, charged with a statutory offense following his alleged attack upon Miss Lutte Marshall, a Sophomore student in Colorado College, on the night of Nov. 14, will be taken to Colorado Springs for trial on the first day of the January term of the District court, the January term of the District Court, Court requesting his delivery into the court on that day. The farm products of Montrose county again came to the front when John Howell of Bostwick Park, with exhibits in the international grain and hay show at Chicago, captured several of the most important prizes, in the wheat and oats entries mainly. These same exhibits recently took the main prizes at international expositions at Kansas City and Wichita, Kan. Due to the stimulus of the two weeks' campaign to secure jobs for ex-service men, employers in Denver and Colorado have responded to the call to such an extent that a job is waiting for every Yank who is qualified to fill it, according to reports received at the demobilization bureau in the Chamber of Commerce building in Denver. A new Boulder beet sugar company, capitalized at $2,000,000, has filed incorporation papers with the secretary of state. It is to be known as the Farmers' Independent Sugar Company. Errection and operation of sugar plants, growing, buying and selling of sugar beets, acquisition of livestock, and other interests are stated as among the purposes of the concern. The importance of the livestock industry in Colorado is shown by the fact that corn, hay and forage crops grown in the state account for nearly one-half the value of all crops grown in the state, and by far the greater amount of these feed crops are fed to livestock in this state. Forty-four children were born in El Paso county during the month of November, according to the report issued by the Colorado Springs health department. Boys were more numerous than girls, the count being twenty-four to twenty.

RELIEVE COAL SHORTAGE GOVERNMENT MAY DROP CON- TEMPT CHARGES AGAINST Western Newspaper Union News Service. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 12.—Members of the United Mine Workers of America are urged to return to work with the least possible delay in order that the public needs for coal may be promptly met, in a circular prepared by the international officials of the organization, which has been sent to the 4,000 local unions throughout the nation. Acting on the directions contained in the messages many miners reported for work and indications were that practically all mines which have been idle since the strike on Oct. 31 have resumed operations. Reports from several mines told of holisting of coal and operators here stated that coal would be moving rapidly in a few days. It has been stated that the government intended to proceed with the grand jury investigation of charges of violation of the Lever act and antitrust laws through conspiracy to limit the production of coal. These charges involve both miners and employers. On the other hand, it was indicated that charges of contempt made against eighty-four officials of the mine workers for alleged violation of the federal court injunction against the strike probably would be dropped. In their circular the miners' officials review the incidents leading up to the calling of the general conference here, and quote a memorandum drawn up and agreed to between them and Attorney General Palmer as a basis for settlement. The difference between the plan accepted and that proposed by Fuel Administrator Garfield was pointed out. The Garfield plan, it is declared, closed the door for any increase in wages beyond 14 per cent and eliminated other features considered of vital importance to the coal workers. The circular then sets forth that the "stubborn facts with which we were confronted" were presented to the general committee and that after most thoughtful and thorough consideration it was decided to accept the President's proposal to return to work under the 14 per cent wage advance pending final settlement by a commission. The miners are asked to trust their chosen representatives and "to wait patiently the vindication of their judgment and action" which, it is predicted, will ultimately come. The statement points out that all the circumstances of the officials' action and the reason for it cannot be explained in a circular and that for this reason a general convention of the organization will be called shortly after full resumption of work. The officials express confidence that when the course adopted is explained at the convention universal approval will be given by the representatives of the 4,000 locals. Anarchists Increasing. Washington.—That Reds and Bolshevki are gaining in numbers in the United States was testified before the House judiciary committee by Special Assistant Horton of the Department of Justice, who appeared in support of the Byrnes bill against sedition. Men's Clothing Going Up. Chicago.—No end of high prices for men's clothing is in sight, but, according to statements of wholesalers and retailers, further increases will be necessary next year. Both branches of the trade protested they would be forced to increase prices, and both pledged themselves to assist the government, through Attorney General Palmer, in fighting profiteering. Wage increases approaching 200 per cent journeymen tailors since 1914 and scarcity of raw materials are causes assigned. Ship Owners Made Big Money. Washington.—Profits made by ship owners during the war were "fabulous" and "unbelievable," John H. Rossetter, former director of operations of the shipping board, told the Senate commerce committee in testimony made public by Chairman Jones. The board realized enough profits on ships, he said, and the earnings of privately owned vessels were even greater. Music By Wireless. Chicago,—Amateur wireless "bugs" in the middle West were entertained by jazz music and grand opera thrown out from the United States navy station on the Transportation building.

Denver.—Colorado special session is getting into the swing and many measures have already found their way onto the calendar. A resolution by Senator H. O. Andrew calls upon state officials, including Gov. Oliver H. Shoup, to see that Speaker Cole resigns as secretary of the irrigation district finance commission of Colorado, a position he has held since the close of the regular session. The Andrew resolution points out that a legislator cannot be appointed to a state office during the time he is a Senator or Representative, in accordance with section 8 or article V. of the constitution. The resolution asks the Legislature to consider the speaker as being disqualified to retain the office of secretary to the commission, and that the salary payment of $250 a month which he has received held to be illegal. Friends of Speaker Cole in the House, on hearing of the resolution introduced in the Senate, came to his defense by saying that the constitution did not prohibit a legislator from accepting employment from the state. They pointed out that he is not an appointee of the governor, but was employed by a commission and given the designation of secretary. The suffrage amendment was the first concurrent resolution introduced, being sponsored in the upper House by Senator Agnes L. Riddle and by Representatives May T. Bigelow and Mabel Ruth Baker in the lower House. It was approved in committee and ordered printed, and will probably come up on final consideration tomorrow. Speaker Cole ruled that it must take the same course as a bill. In the regular session of the Twenty-Second Legislature House Republicans were split over the efforts made by Tom Tynan, warden of the penitentiary, to have the prison farm retained at Avondale indefinitely, and a recurrence of the fight which reached to the Democrats, is expected in a constitutional amendment proposed by the administration. The amendment provides for salary changes in elective and appetitive places, this power to be reposed in the Legislature, and in considering that phase of the measure regarding salaries of the land board, the penitentiary farm fight may be reopened. The governor recently recommended the renewal of the lease of the state land occupied by the farm, in accordance with the wishes of the State Board of Charities and Correction, but this request was denied by the land board. The board has a Republican majority, but declined to consider the governor's recommendation. The farm land will be offered at public sale probably next month. One of the administration measures introduced in the House was by Representatives Phelps, Bashor and Rockwell, for the suppression of anarchy and sedition. Persons convicted under this act are subject to imprisonment for twenty years, or a fine of $10,000 or both. Resolutions and bills, other than the suffrage amendment introduced in the Senate, were the following: A resolution by Senators Booth, Staley and Knauss providing for an initiated amendment to the constitution of Colorado which would give the power of regulating salaries of state elective and appointive officers to the State Legislature. A bill by Senator W. O. Peterson to provide funds for the Colorado State hospital, likewise not provided by the regular session. An anti-auto theft bill was introduced by Representative William O. Jenkins, Central City, and Halsey M. Rhoads, Denver. The bill defines anarchy and sedition as any effort to "encourage or advise forcible resistance to or the forcible destruction of constituted government in general, or of the government or laws of the United States or of the state." Any person who, of his own act, or who, by inciting another to cause the death of any person, while agitating armenic ideas, is held under the act as guilty of first-degree murder. Representative Wilson, El Paso, introduced two bills. The first is to create an allotment for dependents of the enlisted personnel of the state troops. The other is to defray the expenses of this special session of the Legislature. A Senate bill sponsored by Senators Peterson, Hattenbach, Dunklee, Coldren, Warren, O'Brien, King and Bannister, provides for an appropriation of $25,000 to pay emergency expenses incident to the reconstruction period and for the development of Colorado's resources in co-operation with the federal government. The reconstruction and development work referred to in the bill is being carried on under the direction of the Colorado Development Federation. Representative Al S. Andrew, Pueblo, introduced an administration bill for $35,000 for necessary repairs and improvements at the state hospital at Pueblo. A bill introduced in the House by Representative Bert M. Lake, Denver covers the costs of the strike duties for which the national guard of the state has been used. Representative A. R. Young, Denver, proposed a constitutional amendment extending the present two-year term of office of executive officers to four years. DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO. VIRGINIA MADAM C. J. WALKER.
