THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THE RACE PROBLEM AND DOMESTIC SERVICE VOL. XXVI. THE significance of this meeting is that you are young Southern white men and women," said Mrs. Booker T. Washington in addressing the twenty or more Phelps-Stokes Fellows and professors in Southern universities who met recently at Tuskegee Institute, "and you are going to live in the South, which will give you an opportunity to do much good in bringing about better relations between the races. "I remember hearing Mr. Washington and one of his Southern white friends discussing one day another white man of outstanding influence and importance. This friend was telling Mr. Washington how the man they were discussing had changed in his attitude towards the Negro. It pleased Mr. Washington very much to know this but he added: 'It is such a pity that he waited until he was an old man before changing. With his influence and power, just think what he could have accomplished for the cause while he was young and active.' That is the reason I am so glad you are studying this problem with your minds and hearts open while you are young." White and Colored Women Must Work One of the speakers who preceded Mrs. Washington was Miss Ruth Reed of Gainesville, Georgia, who is a Phelps-Stokes Fellow at the University of Georgia, and she suggested a joint study of the problem by the white and colored women of the South. Mrs. Washington in her remarks concurred in this suggestion and added, "The stand which the Southern white woman takes in the question will in the last analysis determine the attitude of the Southern white man." Then she told of the splendid work of the (white) Federation of Women's Clubs of Georgia in arousing and spreading a strong sentiment against lunching and mob violence. Mrs. Washington also referred to Miss Reed's comments on the Negro woman and domestic service. "Home life for the slaves," said Mrs. Washington, "was not a part of the system of slavery, so I am afraid that much of the misunderstanding between the servant and the mistress in the Southern homes has been due to the fact that although we are over fifty years removed from slavery in many of the Southern homes sufficient attention is not given to the question of providing home life for the colored girls who are employed as domestic servants." "I remember sometime ago receiving a letter from a city in the South in which the request was made for a colored girl to work in the home, and when I wrote the lady asking her what provision would be made for the girl to sleep and bathe and for something of homelife for herself, she replied, that she thought the girl could find some place to live in the community, but she, of course, was not sure. "I refer to this letter because it describes a condition which is doing much to make domestic service unpopular among the educated and welltrained Negro girls. Our schools, our current literature and our organizations for social welfare are all emphasizing care of the children, protection of girls and model home life. These, to my mind, emphasize the importance of providing as much home life as possible for the girls in domestic service in order to attract colored women who are being trained in schools like Tuskegee. "Frequently," added Mrs. Washington, "our students here go into domestic service as a means to an end, but some of them have had experiences such as I have indicated which have caused them to make up their minds to do school teaching or any other work rather than do domestic service. If I had time to relate some of the experiences of these young women, of their neglect, of their exposure, and of their loneliness, you would understand some of the reasons why the problem of domestic help is so aggravated at present."

WOMEN WHO HAVE CHOSEN POLITICAL AFFILIATION GIVE VALUABLE HINTS TO THOSE STILL SEEKING PARTY TIE With New Responsibility Resting Upon Them, Newest Voters Who Have Hitherto Given Little Heed to Political View, Welcome Statements from Those Who Have Canvassed the Party Achievements and Decided Where to Cast Their Lot. NOW that the responsibility of voting is upon them, many women who have hitherto given little heed to politics are seeking information to help them decide which party they shall join. The statements of those who have already decided, therefore, have much interest to women in general. Mrs. Henry M. Youmans, who has recently accepted the associate chairmanship of the Republican State Central Committee of Wisconsin, has answered the oft-repeated question, "Why are you Republican," and in an open letter to the women of her state says: "Because I have for years been president of a strictly non-partisan organization, the Wisconsin Woman's Suffrage Association, and have now joined the Republican party and am working for its success, I am frequently asked why. This letter answers that question. "The Wisconsin Woman's Suffrage Association was necessarily non-partisan. It included in its membership women of all shades of political faith, and it appealed to men and women of equal differences. Non-partisanship is the only right and proper stand for such an organization. "But the situation changes radically when the ballot is won. Wisconsin women are already partially enfranchised, and will be fully enfranchised within a few months. The question before us now is how best to use our hardly won ballots. Shall we join a party, and if so, which one, or shall we remain independent? It is a question demanding serious consideration by every woman. "I have decided for the Republican party for reasons which appear to me conclusive. The government of this country is carried on by parties. I do not see how a government of the people can be carried on in any other way except by the people forming themselves into groups and parties, each group bound together by a common belief in some fundamental principle to meet changing conditions. Many people who criticize political parties are really only desirous of another party based on their own special views. "I believe with increasing fervor each day in education, especially education for citizenship. Viewing that section of the country where Republican principles prevail and that section where they do not exist, I take chances for the promotion of education with the Republican party. "I want the best and wisest industrial legislation for men, women and children, and the best moral regulations, especially for the protection of young girls. Again I look abroad, compare the laws in the Republican states with the laws in non-Republican states and have my choice confirmed." "I choose the Republican party because that party, in Wisconsin and in the nation, makes me a voter. I NO.19 am grateful but I am not bonding my political future to gratitude. By enfranchising women the Republican party showed itself to be possessed both of a sense of justice and a progressive spirit. That is the kind of party I want to work with." "COLORED HENRY WARD BEECHER." Addresses Americanization Conference on "The Cure of Race Troubles and Riots." WILLIAM Pickens, associate field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, known for his oratory as the "Colored Henry Ward Beecher," was to address the Christian Americanization Conference in Philadelphia today (February 12). Mr. Pickens, who won the Ten Eyck Oratorical prize for oratory from a class of 300 men at Yale University, recently resigned as dean and vice president of Morgan College in order to join the Advancement Association's staff. "The chief cause of race riots in the United States," said Mr. Pickens, "is the attitude of mind in the white public toward the Negro race. "As long as an intelligent and religious white man discriminates against the Negro race, regardless of individual merit, the ignorant and irreligious white man will do the same—but that ignorant and irreligious white man will be coarser and more brutal in his dealings with the Negro. "The politician in Washington attemps to lynch the Negro civilly and politically; the man at home in Texas as attempts to lynch him with a rope. The one lynches him in soul, the other in body. If where the Negro is concerned, the senator respects no law, human or divine as one of them said, then the lynching of the Negro is the most logical thing in the country. "The better classes of both races must deliberately and consciously seek out co-operation and acquaintance with each other's aspirations, needs, worth. Interracial committees should exist wherever there is an appreciable number of colored people, to promote interracial amity. And any organized effort to affect the race problem in any particular, must be along the lines of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People—that is it must consist of both white and colored men, deliberately pursuing this solution. Neither race can settle the matter alone. The white man has already failed in that method$^2$ the Negro need not try it. Hot Springs, Ark., Feb. 4.—Suppose Temple and Sanitarium Commission of Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, with Supreme Chancellor Green presiding, purchased two fifty-two and one-half feet more frontages on Malverne avenue and closed plans for the completion of bathhouse and sanitarium to cost $135,000.

Gunnison county, in co-operation with the United States and the state of Colorado, will reconstruct the Blue Mesa road, on the Rainbow route, from Cebolla to Cimarron at an expenditure of $90,000. The United States will furnish funds for this purpose to the amount of $45,000, the state $22,500, and the county $22,500.

UNION LABOR CHIEFS MAKE STRONG PROTEST TO CONGRESS. PROTEST TO PRESIDENT LEADERS SAY MEASURE WOULD DEPRIVE CITIZENS OF GUAR- ANTEED RIGHTS. Washington, Feb. 20. — Organized railroad workers and union labor in general, holding the re-drafted railroad reorganization bill to be destructive of the employés' constitutional privileges and liberties, have called on Congress to defeat the measure in its entirety. Representatives of the fifteen railroad unions at the close of a conference, attended by President Gompers and Secretary Morrison of the American Federation of Labor, made public a memorial to Congress embodying this declaration: "The pending bill deprives citizens employed upon railroads of the inviolate right to enjoy gains of their own industry. The returns to capital are fixed upon an arbitrary basis; the rate which the public must pay and the wages which labor must receive must accommodate themselves to this basis fixed for capital. This act makes the public and labor subservient to capital. For these reasons herein set forth and many others, we request and respectfully urge that the bill be defended in its entirety." During the all-day conference, information was given out that letters of protest against the wage provisions of the bill would be sent to President Wilson and Director General Hines Later it was decided to make the first fight in Congress, and intimations were given that if defeated there, the workers then would carry the battle to the White House, hoping that the President might veto the legislation. The memorial, addressed to the people of the United States as well as to the two houses of Congress, declares that the bill, in enunciating a principle for basing the financial return of investors, subverts the principles of American government. This provision the memorial holds, would constitute "an abandonment of government for the common good, the establishment of government for private interest, special privilege and class benefits." Provisions of the measure for arbitration of disputes are attacked because of the manner in which the special arbitration boards would be constituted and because of the way in which they would operate. The arbitration boards, including the permanent federal board of nine members, might be so composed, the memorial declares, as to eliminate labor from representation. Procedure of these boards as set forth in the bill, the memorial states, would destroy all discipline and lead to chaos. Would Open Unused Lands. Washington. — Reclamation of unused lands in the West and South through bond issues, operating similar to the federal farm loan system, would be authorized by a bill introduced by Senator Fletcher of Florida. A similar measure has been offered in the House by Representative Smith of Idaho. Under the plan $20,000,000 worth of bonds would be sold the first year, $30,000,000 the second, $40,000,000 the third and $50,000,000 the fourth year with a total not exceeding $350,000,000. May Deport Boy Held Five Years. May Deport Boy Held Five Years. New York.—After being detained on Ellis Island for five years as "mentally deficient," Israel Rothenberg, 17, years old, now faces deportation. His mother, with whom he arrived from Russia in 1915 on the last trip to America of the Lusitania, has appealed to the authorities to postpone his deportation on the ground that she will shortly become an American citizen and can then legally demand the boy's admission. Bores Thirteen Inches of Steel. Washington.—Boring its way through more than thirteen inches of armored belt steel, a sixteen-inch projectile produced at the new naval ordnance plant at South Charleston, W. Va., the third shell fired out of a test group of five met every requirement in a test at the Indian Head (Md.) provinces and established what naval officers believe to be a record in big shell production. The tests were conducted under long-range conditions. France Says "Ships Wortless." Paris.—Of eighty-two ships built for France in the United States by private concerns during he war not one has been able to put to sea because they were built of unseasoned, defective lumber, M.

The ships, Bignon said, included forty schooners, and cost France $80,000,000 The commission ordered an investigation.

NOT so much for the results it brings the advertiser, or the benefits derived by the newspaper man, but the wholesome intellectual development that is being afforded the public, as publicity agents, advertising heads of firms, are in fact engineers of the progressive civilization now being enjoyed, as the information given out in whatever channel it may be comes from a well trained, highly cultivated and well balanced source. The former glancing or cursory look at advertisements has changed to a diligent study of the matter printed, and instead of being delighted with the mere reproduction of the composition given him, the newspaper man joins the public in becoming a beneficiary of the broadened mind and increased knowledge that these specialists are offering in their advertising matters. To our mind, there is quite a reciprocity action far beyond the mere publicity of goods or stocks and the monetary return, as from the expressions of our correspondents and the verbal or written accounts of the mental and moral uplift they acquire from the weight of thought, language, etc., we can agree with the editors and newspaper men of the present day that the old expression, "It pays to advertise," carries a far greater meaning with readers and newspaper patrons of today, and is ever increasing in its valuable impressions being made on the community. Here's a great field for our youths and an opportunity for their mental development. We trust some one will make the start. ANOTHER KIND WORD FOR US IN SEASON. AN EDITORIAL of the Denver Times Tuesday, the 17th inst., under the heading, "A Traveler's View of Negroes," gives the impressions and opinions of an Englishman on the Negro of America, and not only does it offer interesting reading for the usual reader of newspaper editorials, but it gives another confirmation to the long established expression that the Negro, abused, denounced, despised, kicked around or whatever you may term it, always is of some help in the solution of problems of the greatest importance to races, nations and governments, and while in the majority of instances credit is not given, now and again from a minority source or a traveling individual, a word, an expression, a fact is given out which gets the quiet "Yea" or the soft approval from our white neighbors. Now this impression made on the visitor, and this opinion offered from the 'bloomin' Englishman' (as he is generally styled around these quarters) may not necessarily be ascribed to his sense of fair play and love for humanity (as his treatment of the Negro in South Africa and other parts of the world today does not show superiority to the American's treatment here), but possibly his realization that if the white race of the earth, especially the English-speaking, must maintain their dominant position, retain the mastery, and be the standard of world civilization, they must demonstrate a better feeling, presenting another front to the darker races, and in spite of blood, birth, race or caste credit the man, the people for their contribution to civilization, and make them be sharers of the benefits resulting therefrom. "The traveler, Stephen Graham by name, tramped through the Southern states for the purpose of studying the American Negro with a view to getting more light on the Russian situation, this peculiar undertaking being based on the fact that both the Negroes and the serfs of Russia were emancipated about the same time, and Mr. Graham considered that a study of the condition and progress among the Negroes might be of value in understanding some of the problems of Russian life." This quotation from the article shows that we can be used to determine other people's destiny or solve their problems today as we did in the years gone by, and we are glad that Mr. Graham went into the South where he could get at the real conditions, of the "stage performance" his white brother, out of his "generosity," is playing to our people. Visiting them in the cotton fields and on the farms as well as in the schools, etc., this Englishman commends our Negro brothers for their ability for music, dancing, composing stories and their religious tendencies, and after expressing his opinion that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is not of much value to the race, he goes on to say that the time may come when from among the black men will arise a writer who will rival Dickens in the telling of stories grave and gay. "The English visitor believes from his talk with the Negroes in the cotton fields and elsewhere," continues the editorial, "that much of the discontent and trouble among them is due to lack of tact and friendliness of the whites in dealing with them, and his experience left him with the feeling that much of the restlessness could be removed were the difficulties existing handled with greater judgment and a kindlier spirit." We are quite in accord with this belief of Mr. Graham, as we have endeavored all these years and have not given up trying to make it clear that if the white man would really indulge in this tact and judgment conditions would long ago have been ameliorated between the races, not only in the South but throughout the entire country. Strange though it may seem, but nevertheless true, this black race can always afford some help to tide the other fellow over his difficulty or bring happiness to his existence, but when it comes to the "Self-helpful scene" in the act, oh what a miserable failure! We are quite aware of the cause. He holds the loaf before the grated bars with its close-fitting latticework and bids you take it—THE IMPRACTICABLE. He pats you on the shoulder, praises you for your patriotism, your helping to make the world safe for democracy, at the same time dividing the racial solidarity by saying to one class of us, "You are better than your brother," resulting in disunion that can bring nothing but internal racial opposition—can't accomplish anything. THE IMPOSSIBLE PROBLEM SOLVED. Thanks for English kindness. Allies' Unity Means Peace Exceeding All Guarantees Put on Paper. By GEORGES CLEMENCEAU, Retiring President Peace Conference. If Great Britain, the United States, Italy, Japan and France remain united, there is a guarantee of peace which exceeds all those guarantees which can be put on paper. If one day these nations are separated I dare not think of the misfortunes which may result. Photo by Western Newspaper Unit We arrived here somewhat disconcerted by the gravity of the problems set and the difficulty of settling them. When fighting the enemy all necessarily were in agreement, each joyfully giving his life for his country. But it is not necessarily the same when one meets to calculate and realize the fruits of victory and to settle each one's share. We have all defended what we believed to be the interest of our countries, but never has the necessity of a common understanding been lost sight of. I further believe that we are all agreed today to say that the special interests of each nationality must be considered and respected; there cannot be a tranquil Europe if the rights of each one are not recognized. I have been sometimes reproached for making too many concessions. The same reproach has been made against other heads of governments, but I am calm in the knowledge—and I am sure you all are—of never having been guided in stating my opinions or in the conclusions we have reached, except by the single idea that the nations who shed so much blood had the right, first of all, to have their national claims satisfied and then to have those claims reconciled each to the other and embodied in one great peace inspired by common interest. I shall not lose sight of the peace we are completing and shall continue to follow its progress until my last breath. I shall try by all good wishes at least to do all in my power for the solidity of that peace, for, indeed, if by misfortune the elements of discord should arise among you, how terrible the thought that the best blood of the civilized world, the blood of our soldiers, should be shed in vain for hopes that would not be realized. Machinery Must Replace Men That the City Takes Away From the Farm. By A. R. KROH, Automobile Tire Manufacturer. Every thinking man will agree that the most effective way to adjust the cost of living in this country is to increase production with a reduced cost. Eight million people have moved from American farms to the city since 1900. Our population has increased 21 per cent since 1899, but the increase in production of food in that same period has been less than 10 per cent. No nation has ever been able to enact legislation forcing people to remain on the farms. We are not able to do it in America. The only solution to the problem is more modern methods and improved machinery. In many communities in the United States farmers now are compelled to pay harvest hands as much for a single day's labor as the same man could be hired for a full month in 1880. Everything the farmer buys is costing him more money. With such a condition existing he cannot be expected to sell food to the consuming population at the price he did under the old regime. If we are unable to stem the tide of depleted rural and increased city population there is only one solution, and that is modern machinery. The tractor or motor truck alone cannot solve the problem. Complete motorization of farms, including stationary gas engines, tractors, and motor trucks, is our only salvation. Machinery must be made to do the work of human hands that are hard to get and all too costly. The complete motorization of farms has been proven economical in innumerable instances in the central agricultural section of the United States. This argument is no longer based upon theory, but upon facts. Power machinery eats only when it works, and then a commodity that is pumped from beneath the surface of the soil and cannot be used as food. When machinery stands idle the only expense is interest on the investment. Feeble Mindedness and Moronism Are at the Root of Our Social Problems. By DR. WILLIAM S. SADLER, Chicago. Experts tell us that insanity is increasing 300 times faster than the population in this country. I don't believe it. I am not alarmed about that, but I am tremendously alarmed about something that I know is increasing, even if insanity isn't, and that is feeble-mindedness, moronism, degeneracy. You can talk about immigration laws all you are a mind to. I don't care whether a man can read or write. I want to know before we let him in this land of ours whether there is imbecility, insanity, feeble-mindedness or moronism in his veins. If there is, then I want the gates closed absolutely against him. We have all we can absorb in a thousand years and get away with. Feeble-mindedness and moronism and degeneracy are at the root of 75 per cent of all our social problems, whether that be inebriety, pauperism, criminality or prostitution. We have labored under the delusion that in America we had a mystic melting-pot, that you could put anything in it you wanted to and get 100 per cent, good, sound, wholesome, red-blooded, pure-blooded Americans out of it, but it is a lie. You know we don't get it and you know it now to your sorrow. When you take the feeble-minded, degenerate stock of southern Europe and mix it up in the American matrimonial melting-pot it doesn't go. It comes out a crippled, weak and degenerate stock which cannot be altered by the institutions of democracy. We have gone so far to protect the weak against the strong that legislation will be demanded in the next generation to protect the strong against the weak, for the weak threaten us now with a sociological deluge of race defectiveness. F. W. Ives, Vice-President American Society of Agricultural Engineers The future of American farming lies not in more intensive cultivation of small acreage, but in the extension of the acreage one man can bring under cultivation. What the American farm needs is the replacement wherever possible of hand labor by machine.

The colored people of Denver have one of the Sailors' and Soldier Clubs, and it has been kept open and hope to keep it open as a Community Service. The little daughter of Mr. Ramsey, 2813 Glenarm place, proprietor of The Ramsey Auto Service, is ill with pneumonia. Fred W. Perkins, Robert Mitchell, Mrs. Hiram Gash and son are reported to be convalescing. We wish them complete recovery. Miss Beckwith, 2232 Cleveland place, has been pronounced out of danger and will soon recover from an attack of the flu. Mrs. David Hall and children, who have been visiting her mother and brothers, left for her home in St. Paul, Minn., last Saturday. Mrs. Maggie Ewing received the endowment last week of her mother, Dt. Jacobs, from the Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem, Dunbar Council No. 16. Plim Jackson, our friend and popular townsman of 2342 Welton street, is recovering from sciatic rheumatism. He is able to walk with the help of a cane. Mrs. Wesley Lyons returned from San Diego last Sunday after an absence of four months, where she was greatly benefited by the atmospheric features of the Pacific shores. Mr. Jackson arrived from Arkansas last Tuesday to accompany his son home. Jackson, Jr., is at the Recuperation Hospital at Aurora, recovering from sickness, the result of the war. THE PATRIOTIC SHOE SHINING PARLOR, with its popular and genial proprietor, Harvey G. Webster, is not only maintaining its reputation for the best shine by the best "shinist," but is being made more attractive and accommodating for both sexes, with the added features of attendants whose civility is unsurpassed. P. T. Bullard surely merits the name "globe trotter," as after two and a half months' trip to the East and South he has covered a few thousand miles. Mr. Bullard struck old Philadelphia, Baltimore, his old home St. Louis, where he had the pleasure of remaining two weeks, then snow and ice-bound New York, St. Paul and Minneapolis, returning last Saturday the better off for his trip. Fred Lankford arrived last Tuesday from New York on an emergency visit after an absence of thirteen months and looking every inch a representative of good health. He reports that our people are coming in for their own in the great metropolis and if they only resolve to save a little of their earnings they will soon be classified among the progressivebusiness agents of the country. Mr. Lankford is quite a musician and well known to orchestra circles here, having been leading tango banjoist for some years. James Gist, accompanied by Messrs. Franklin, Childress, Berry and McElroy, left the city last Wednesday and returned Saturday after serving the members of the Automobile Storage Battery Association in convention at Manitou, Colo. Mr. E. E. Nichols, proprietor of the Cliff Hotel, and one of the leading hotel men of the West, expressed much pleasure for the services the men rendered in their capacity as waiters, and it is highly probable that colored waiters may insure the summer season at this popular and fashionable hostelry. Another lesson where "Give your best and the best shall return to you" is evidenced. The War Camp Community Service completed its war work throughout the country January 31, 1920. The Community Service is planning to take its place. No one denies the good that the War Camp Community Service did in maintaining the Sailors and Soldiers' Clubs over the country. The spirit of each working for the good of the whole was manifested in a large degree, and the country hopes to carry on by means of the Community Service. All cities and communities are making effort to support the move within its own gates, and Denver has worked out a plan and has many of its best citizens supporting it. The colored population of all cities with a sufficient population are trying to play their part.

Out of Chaos— The Telephone Company's greatest asset is the co-operation of the public; it is a big enterprise, in the successful operation of which both the company and the people are vitally concerned. As a unit in the great Bell System it is universal in the scope of its service. It has the biggest, hardest work imaginable, for it has as many persons to please as has the President of the United States. The past few years have been full of perplexing and disappointing problems and conditions. No business organization can be any more perfect than the combined intelligence, sincerity and industry of its human management. A corporation is subject to all the trials and tribulations of the individual, but in an increasing ratio to its magnitude and responsibilities. There is no avenue of human activity that has not been paved with sacrifice during the past four years; there isn't an individual who has not contributed in some way to the winning of the world's greatest war at discomfort to himself and by voluntary self-denial, and every business organization has contributed its tithe of service. Out of the chaos of the world a new day dawns pregnant with promise of a happier condition of affairs. As you look forward to a more prosperous, brighter era, the Telephone Company looks forward to increased efficiency, better service, and, above all, to pleased and satisfied patrons.

Four American state documents figured with increasing regularity in the debate in the senate and in the thousand and one public speeches and published articles: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, Washington's Farewell Address and the Monroe Doctrine. The Farewell Address was used at a test everywhere by everybody. Both sides used it. Those who opposed the treaty made use of it as a solemn warning against "entangling foreign alliances"—the present-day equivalent of Washington's phrase, "permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world." Those favoring the treaty argued that Washington's political wisdom was of his day only, and that his teachings are out of date; that while Washington was good and noble he was unlearned in the science of government and untrained in the arts of statecraft. Those who adhered to the policy of the Farewell Address also upheld the Monroe Doctrine, holding the latter to be the development and outgrowth of the former. The events leading up to the Farewell Address are briefly as follows: The constitutional convention met in May in Philadelphia. After four months of secret deliberations the Constitution was completed and offered to the individual states for adoption. Nine states were necessary; New Hampshire made the ninth. The Constitution went into effect June 21, 1788. George Washington was elected the first president of the United States and served two terms, 1789-1796. He declined a third term and established the precedent for but one re-election. If Washington accepted the presidency with reluctance it was with pronounced distaste that he yielded to what he thought was his duty and took the office for a second term. And it proved to be a stormy term. In 1793 France declared war on England and Louis XVI was beheaded in France by the revolutionists. "Citizen" Genet, representing the French revolutionists, arrived here and stirred the American people to a frenzy of sympathy with France. Washington issued a neutrality proclamation which aroused a storm of popular protest. Genet's activities resulted in his recall. In the meantime Great Britain was postponing the surrender of British posts in the Northwest, taking American sailors from American ships under the pretext that they were Britons and so acting generally that a large part of the American people clamored for war against the British. Washington finally succeeded in negotiating a treaty with Great Britain, which in part corrected these evils. Thus he succeeded both in maintaining neutrality and averting war, in spite of discord in his cabinet and division of sentiment in the nation. And it was with a full heart that he wrote that part of his Farewell Address to the American people, September 17, 1796, as his retirement from the presidency approached. That his heart was full is shown by these words from the address: "In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels of an old and affectionate friend, I dare not hope they will make the strong and lasting impression that I could wish—that they will control the usual current of the passions or prevent our nation from running the course which has hitherto unmarked the destiny of nations. But if I may even flatter myself that they may be productive of some partial benefit, some occasional good—that they may now and then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn against the mischiefs of foreign intrigue, to guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism—this hope will be a full recompense for the solicitude for your welfare by which they have been dictated." The part of the Farewell Address most used, of course, was those paragraphs toward its close, which bear on foreign relations of the United States. These paragraphs were read into the Congressional Record as follows on several occasions: "Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow citizens) the aleousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. . . . WASHINGTON AD "PERMANENT ALLIANCES" "The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. "Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities. "Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people, under an efficient government, the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel. "Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the tolls of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice? "It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign "Taking care always to keep ourselves by suitable establishments on a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies. "Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations are recommended by policy, humanity and interest. But even our commercial policy should hold an equal and impartial hand, neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors or preferences; constantly keeping in view that it is folly in one nation to look for disinterested favors from another; that it must pay with a portion of its independence for whatever it may accept under that character; that by such acceptance it may place itself in the condition of having given equivalents for nominal favors, and yet of being reproached with ingratitude for not giving more. There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard." The Monroe Doctrine dates from a declaration December 2, 1823, by President James Monroe in his seventh annual message to congress. The Holy Alliance, formed in 1815 by Russia, Austria and Prussia, was threatening to help Spain recover control of South America. Russia and the United States were in controversy over the Pacific coast boundaries. The nub of the Monroe Doctrine is in these two paragraphs: "In the discussions to which this interest (the Russian controversy) has given rise, and in the arrangements by which they may terminate, the occasion has been judged proper for asserting, as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers. "With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power (Spain) we have not interfered and shall not interfere. But with the governments who have declared their independence and maintained it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just principles, acknowledged, we could not view an interposition for the purpose of oppressing them, or controlling in any other manner, their destiny, by any European power, in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States." the United States . . . The prominence given the Farewell Address in this public discussion of the treaty should, however, surprise no one. Examination of American state papers shows that Washington's policy has figured largely in many periods of our history and often in connection with the Monroe Doctrine. President Grover Cleveland said: "It is the policy of peace suitable to our interests. It is the only policy of Monroe and of Washington and Jefferson: "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliance with none." President Wilson was in full accord with Grover Cleveland—that there was no change of conditions justifying our abandonment of the policy of "non-intervention" when, in his speech in Washington, on May 16, 1914, he said at the dedication of the monument of Commodore John Barry: "There are just as vital things stirring now that concern the existence of the nation as were stirring then—to wit, in Washington's time—and every man who worthy stands in this presence should examine himself and see whether he has the full conception of what it means. America should live her own life. Washington saw it when he wrote his Farewell Address." In this nation-wide debate George Washington has received many an eloquent appreciation. One of the finest was contained in an address by Senator Borah of Idaho on the treaty in the senate in November of 1919. He said, among other things: "What is the test of statesmanship? Is it the formation of theories, the utterance of abstract and incontrovertible truths, or is it the capacity and the power to give to a people that concrete thing called liberty, that vital and indispensable thing in human happiness called free institutions and to establish over all and above all the blessed and eternal reign of order and law? "If this be the test, where shall we find another whose name is entitled to be written beside the name of Washington? His judgment and poise in the hour of turmoil and peril, his courage and vision in times of adversity, his firm grasp of fundamental principles, his almost inspired power to penetrate the future and read there the result, the effect of policies, have never been excelled, if equaled, by any of the world's commonwealth builders. "Reflect for a moment over his achievements. He led the Revolutionary Army to victory. He was the very first to suggest a union instead of a confederacy. He presided over and counseled with great wisdom the convention which framed the Constitution. He guided the government through its first perilous years. He gave dignity and stability and honor to that which was looked upon by the world as a passing experiment, and finally, as his own peculiar and particular contribution to the happiness of his countrymen and to the cause of the Republic, he gave us his great foreign policy, under which we have lived and prospered and strengthened for nearly a century and a half."

MORAL—ADVERTISE --- Belgium Sketches Glory of the Morning By Katharine Eggleston Roberts (Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union) The world was opaline. From high up in the citadel I looked down into the heart of it. The sun, half hidden by a cloud, sent streaks of flame across the pearl-gray sky. Within the shadowy girdle of the hills a rainbow haze enmeshed the valley. It melted the red and yellow of the peaked roofs that crowded by the streams of flowing gold, thinning where the waters met. There in the weird and mystic light lay the unreal earth, and I was far away—up there alone in reality. Suddenly I longed for some one else to look with me and feel the eerie beauty of it all. The loneliness pinched at my heart and made it ache. And then a voice within the stones behind me cried: "I built this citadel long centuries ago, and every day I've watched the journey of the sun from morn till night. I've watched the people living underneath those peaked roofs. You cannot see them; you have not my eyes. Always I watch the people of Namur." The voice did not seem strange to me. It was an answer to my longing for some one. I feared that it might go—might leave me there alone above the wonderland. I begged it: "Tell me what you've seen, what you are seeing now." "Oh, I can't tell you. It takes too long; but something—yes. You see that house down near the church, the LITTLE WORKS OF THE STATE THE STREETS OF BROOKLYN "Won Their Entrance Into Old Namur." white one with green shutters and red roof? It's just a little higher than the rest. You cannot see the canopy before the door. I'll tell you why it's there. "Five years ago the troops were ordered out to fight invaders from across the Rhine. To that house came Marcel Duval to tell his Jeanne 'Goodby.' They were to have been married the next month, and it was very hard for them to part. Marcel had light hair and blue eyes; he could talk German better than the rest, and he was not to fight with gun and sword, but with the cunning of his mind—to be a spy. of the voice again; Jeanne are gray more. My loneliness was was real! And from Namur I looked down the morning. MANY VILLAGES Not Even Walls P Towns That Exist rival of Spiked Of many smaller the ruins remain, the since been reduced to old magnificent forces "I looked down at them as they stood before the house. The evening wrapped them close, but I could see Jeanne's eyes were wet—gray, like the twilight woven through the mist. Her dark head pressed against his coat. The circle of her arms gleamed white about his neck. They kissed. She choked her sobs and smiled. He looked just once—a long time—then he turned BELGRAVE and ran. He dared not look again. The smile died on her lips. She sank upon the door step and her shoulders shook. "It wasn't long before the German norde came to the hills about the town. They stormed the forts for three days, till at last they won their entrance into old Namur. They occupied the place. They took the best and sold the leavings to Namur folk at triple price. They occupied my home, paraded round about my walks. I knew them well, and I was sorry for the people in the city down below. I saw Jeanne and her mother trying to live on nothing, but it wasn't only lack of food that made Jeanne's eyes so big and dark in the pale ivory of her face. always her quick glance searched each --- one who passed, hoping to find the features of Marcel. A spy might not be in Germany; he might be here amidst the army of the conquerors in Belgium, in Namur, and any time. But all her hopes were vain and, as the months dragged into years and no news came, she ceased to look at every passerby, for disappointment only emphasized her fear. "Then one night, when the lights were out and all was still, she heard a gentle tapping at the door. Her mother opened it a little way, and through the space a man's voice whispered: "I'm weary; I have traveled far today. Once, long ago, they told me if I visited Namur, I'd find safe shelter in your home." Her heart beat quickly as they let him in. Was it Marcel? At least, perhaps some news. But no, the stranger knew only that once—two years ago—he and Duval had been together on a bit of work in Austria. Duval had said that if he chanced to reach Namur, they'd give him lodging in that house. Duval had sent a message, but that was long ago, and since then—well, no one had heard from him. The stranger hid there all next day, and then at night departed and was swallowed by the dark. "Five years of hopeful tomorrowns turned to dreary yesterdays. To me, who has lived for centuries, five years are like a minute of the day. To Jeanne, each year out of the five was like a century. It was the imprisoning silence, not the Boche, that crushed her soul. The Huns were driven back to their own land. Namur was free and, one by one, the soldiers who had lived returned, to stay at home again. And still no one could tell the fate of lost Marcel Duval. And then—" The voice broke off, for down below the bells began to ring, the chimes that drove the cloud from off the sun. The opalescent sky turned turquoise blue; the sunlight tore the rainbow haze and sent a golden shower across the world. And from the church door came a bridal pair. I heard a whisper THE RIVER of the voice again: "The eyes of Jeanne are gray morn lit with dawn." My loneliness was gone. The earth was real! And from the citadel above Namur I looked down on the glory of the morning. MANY VILLAGES NOW IN DUST Not Even Walls Remain to Mark Towns That Existed Before Arrival of Spiked Helmet Men. Of many smaller villages not even the ruins remain, the walls having long since been reduced to stone dust. Of old magnificent forests there are only occasional naked tree stems, with a few leafless branches. There is no living tree for miles and miles. German gas did it. The old inferno of sound has given place to a more terrible silence—a silence unbroken by living creature. No birds, no moving things in the grass, nothing but the absolute silence of a man-made desert. From the agricultural point of view the country is years in the future. the country is years in the square foot must be leveled and restored. The undertaking is infinitely difficult. Any moment the workman may run into an unexploded shell or a hidden death trap. Every farm will have to be equipped with a complete new drainage system.

Although small armies of men, mostly German prisoners, have been working nearly a year, devastated Belgium looks today just as barren and wartorn as when the armistice sent the German armies hurrying back into the distance from which they had come. So immense is the reclamation task before them, it is not noticeable that the workers have made any impression at all. Ypres itself, a collection of ruins has hardly been touched. The debris has been swept from the streets and a bean-t station put up near the site of the old. A few restaurants have been reopened for tourists and relatives of fallen soldiers visiting the zone. A small gantlet of postal card sellers and curio venders forms regularly outside the station a few minutes before train time. Several liverymen and garage owners do a fine business driving sightseers over the battlefields --- The fundamental importance of carefulness and the fundamental disaster of carelessness are seen from the fact that carelessness only stands for truth, and carelessness means untruthfulness—none the less untruthful because unconsciously so. S. S. Times. SOME DIFFERENT MEATS. Where rabbits are abundant one need not worry about the price of meat, if there is a hunter in the family. Squirrel, grouse, quail, rice hens are cooked, or may be, as one does rabbit. ```markdown ``` Fricassee of Rabbit. Cut a nicely dressed and cleaned rabbit into light pieces, cover with a quart or more of boiling water and boil for five minutes, then simmer on the back of the stove for two hours, until the rabbit is tender. Take up the meat, place on a hot platter, melt one tablespoonful of butter, add one tablespoonful of flour, one-half cupful of the liquid from the kettle, one-half cupful of sweet milk, the yolks of two eggs beaten with two tablespoonfuls of cold milk, salt, pepper to season; boil up once and pour over the stewed rabbit. Virginia Brunswick Stew.—Into a kettle put four onions chopped fine, three cupfuls of tomatoes cut in pieces, two slices of fat bacon, one large chicken or two squirrel disjointed. Pour over all four quarts of boiling water and cook for 20 minutes over the heat; then place on the back part of the stove and simmer for several hours or until the meat is tender. When tender remove the bones, skin, gristle and chop fine, return to the kettle with one can of corn, one cupful of fine bread crumbs, one cupful of sweet fat and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a few minutes until boiling hot, then serve. Stewed Pigeons—Clean and slinger and draw two pigeons, wipe carefully. Melt one tablespoonful of butter for each pigeon, lay in the birds, sensored and dusted with flour. Brown on both sides, and add sufficient broth or hot water to cover. Add one tablespoonful of rice to each pigeon, two tablespoonfuls of cream and cover closely. Simmer for several hours until the birds are tender. Pickled Lambs' Hearts.—Clean six lambs' hearts, add a tablespoonful of salt, and cover with boiling water and cook for half an hour at the boiling point, then simmer for two hours. Cool in the liquor. Next day slice the hearts and pack them into an earthen jar, sprinkle each layer with salt and pepper. Chop one large onion fine, add two bay leaves, 12 cloves and a tea-spoonful of peppercorns. Boil the spices for five minutes in two cupfuls of vinegar and pour over the hearts. They will be ready to use in three or four days. To be good is noble, but to teach others to be good is nobler—and less trouble.—Mark Twain. SEASONABLE DISHES. Those who refuse the old-fashioned bolled dinner because of the use the old-fash- r because of the odor in the house may cook it very satisfactorily in the fireless cooker. If such dishes are cooked in an open kettle the odor will not be as strong or as odor in the house may cook it very satisfactorily in the fireless cooker. If such dishes are cooked in an open kettle the odor will not be as strong or as lasting. An excellent preparation for such meats as liver, veal and other somewhat tasteless meats is to put them for two or three days in winter, one day in hot weather, into a strong pickle made with salt, saltpeter and brown sugar, seasoned to taste, either with spice, pepper sauce, onions, or any other seasoning; then cook with cabbage, turnips, carrots, turned beef and potatoes. Such a meal should be taken only by people active enough to digest it. Indian Pudding—Scald one quart of milk and add three-fourths of a cupful of cornmeal mixed with a little cold milk, stir and cook for a few minutes, then pour into a large stone baking dish, add another quart of milk, one cupful of brown sugar, one cupful of suet, and one cupful of raisins and two well-beaten eggs. Put into a slow oven and stir every half hour for the first half of the cooking, then dredge with flour and brown. Bake for five or six hours. The pudding is done when it is covered with a rich brown crust. This dish may be reheated any number of times. Serve with a hard sauce made by creaming butter and sugar, adding nutmeg for flavoring. Buckwheat Cakes.—Take one yeast cake dissolved in half a cupful of water, add a pint or more of warm water and buckwheat flour to make a thick mixture. Do this in the morning and let stand to rise until the next morning, when it is ready to use. Take one cupful of the thick batter for the next day's cakes, add water and buckwheat flour to thicken and set away as before. The batter that is left is salted, and a half cupful of milk, sour or sweet, added, then a little soda dissolved in hot water which will thin the cakes to the right consistency. Never mix any of this soda and milk batter with that which is to be used the following day. This may be repeated as long as one likes cakes for the morning meal. Nellie Maxwell A. HASER, Prop.

Use seven parts of benzoline to one of turpentine, and add a few drops of the lavender—one drop to each ounce will be ample. Japanese Training. Japanese children begin to study jiu-jitsu in their earliest years, for it is a system of physical culture, hygiene and ethics, and the exercises give strength and flexibility to the limbs. Later the pupil is shown the fine art of using an adversary's strength against himself. Earth Still Growing. In the early days of its history the earth grew rapidly by the addition of meteoric matter. It is still growing in the same manner, though scarcely to an appreciable extent, for the mass of meteoric matter added yearly is reckoned to be only 20,000 tons. COLORADO THE FILM OF "THE LADY OF THE RING" BY JOHN B. HARRIS, WITH A FILM BY JOHN B. HARRIS, AND A FILM BY JOHN B. HARRIS. Hats for Crisp Springtime Hats for Crisp Springtime H NEARLY all afternoon gowns for the season now passing have been made of plain cloths and the spring finds us prepared to welcome something different. New figured silks and light weight woolls, in dull plaids o, cross-bars, foretell afternoon frocks traveling away from one-color cloths and familiar designs. Their creators, denling with new fabrics, are inspired to delight us with models as original and handsome as appears in the dignified dress shown in the picture above. Any of the finer fabrics, whether of silk, wool or cotton, might be successfully built into a dress like this. In this frock the straight-hanging skirt is arranged in wide box plaits, with the distance between them equaling their width. It is the regulation shoe-top length with three-inch hem, and these Hats for Cris SUMMERTIME may bring big and wide-brimmed hats, and already rumor is making generous promises in that respect, but for early spring the number of small hats hardly leaves room for the consideration of anything else. The small tailored hats for early wear, are brilliant in inverse ratio to their size. Everything, almost, that finds place in their construction or trimming is "slim." Straw and silk braids, and many fabrics have a varnished, high-luster surface. Many off-the-face shapes provide spirited small hats developed in the new materials, and there are a few models with moderately wide brims, like the hat made of silk shown at the center of the group above. Above it, at the left, a straight-brimmed sailor of braid has a top crown of georgette. --- brief details cover its description. A very graceful overgarment amounts to a short coat, with front and back panels extended to the knees and finished with embroidered motifs in silk floss. The coat is shortened over the hips, where a little fullness in the material suggests something of the fashionable flare at the sides. Three-quarter length sleeves are finished with a band and tabs of ribbon, in which the band slips through the tabs. The neck is finished in the same way with long ties of ribbon hanging at the front. Round, satin-covered buttons are set in a row at each side of the front, where the overgarment opens over a vest of plaited white georgette. Black satin ribbon, like that used for the ties, makes the narrow, plain girdle. p Springtime Bands of ribbon and metal buckles make its neat finish. The little hat at its right is of black and white satin straw braid and has a cut-out upturned brim with little rosettes of straw posed against it. A similar braid covers the round crown of the hat at the left. The upturned brim is faced with a millinery patent leather, banded and crossed with braid. This is a sturdy looking little model which invites the use of a vell. Patent leather is a courtesy title for a thin, shiny fabric which is soft and very popular. Highly lustrous straw braid and crepe georgette make the trim hat opposite.
