Colorado Statesman

OUR TERRITORY: COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO, ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY MEN OF OUR TIMES ROBERT W. JUSTICE, A Server of His People. IN THE year 1909 we overheard a group of young men discussing the general hopelessness of things. They were colored, they were poor, and competition in New York was too strong. If only they had some capital they would do something wonderful, but as it was they hadn't a chance. At the very moment those young men were lamenting their fate a youth of their age was seeking his opportunity and he soon found it. "Reputation comes from performance." This is the motto, righteously lived up to, of R. W. Justice, director of the New York Academy at 447 Lenox avenue, New York City. In other words, a man is known by his deeds of performance rather than by any high-sounding promisary phrases. Mr. Justice is essentially a constructor, a door of things, as his aggressive jaw and determined manner denote. And to his hard work, patient application and ambitious toil the New York Academy stands as a monument. Hard work, grit and determination have made it what it is today—the greatest independent Negro educational institution in the city of New York. A few short years ago this institution was but a stripling in the educational field. Today it stands foremost in the metropolis and almost unique in the race, and one of the few schools recognized by the United States government as deserving a place on the Federal Board of Vocational Training for Crippled United States Soldiers. The school has just been federalized and given a contract by the federal board. Mr. Justice and his associates are very proud of the New York Academy. One notes that the instant he enters the well-equipped study rooms of the school. There is a corp d'esprit among teachers and students that promises great things for the commercial future of the Negro race. The work done in the school and the results obtained have been often complimented by the House of Pitman, business schools and prominent educators. Mr. Pitman himself, writing of Mr. Justice and the New York Academy, has said: "I have received your school catalogue. I thank you for it and congratulate you and the school upon the wonderful achievements during the last ten years. "You have exhibited a thoroughness and a patience and perseverance that is rarely found outside the pages of fiction. I trust that you will continue to grow and to progress, and that you will have a great, large school building some day, which you deserve and which you have worked hard enough for. "A man like you can never fail. You have our best wishes for continued success and growth." Mr. Justice has dedicated his life to service of his race in the capacity of an educator. His words on this subject show a high nobility of purpose paired with indomitable courage and relentless determination. The dedication of any man to helpful service among his fellows is one of the most beautiful things that can happen on this earth. The words in which Mr. Justice tells of his dedication constitutes two of the most beautiful para- VOL. XXVI. graphs in the English language. They are: "I have found my task; fortune will be unkind to lure me from it by considerations of material gain and ease, or through any vagaries to which human frailty is susceptible. My highest personal ambition is to render service in the capacity of school master and to behold the fruits of my labor. "The high glory of war's behest and the comforts of the fireside are paltry and insignificant in comparison to this work to which I have dedicated my life and in which I find the highest satisfaction and pleasure." DIAMOND MINERS IN SOUTH AFRICA WORK FOR 50 CENTS A DAY DIAMOND MINERS IN SOUTH AFRICA WORK FOR 50 CENTS A DAY (By Edward M. Thierry, with Smithsonian-Universal African Expedition.) JOHANNESBURG, capital in South Africa, either is so lucky in dealing with labor that it doesn't need brains, or else so brainy it doesn't need luck. With the rest of the world stewing in labor troubles, South Africa has industrial peace. Big industry, of which gold mining and diamond mining are greatest, have been practically untouched by labor unrest. What would you do, Mr. Employer, if you had 900 employees and you only had to pay 100 of them an average of $7.50 a day and the other 800 only had to be paid 50 to 75 cents a day and provided with food and lodging, costing only 12 to 15 cents a day? That's the labor situation in South Africa. Yet, capital is gloomy. Most of the agitation now going on comes, not from labor, but from capital. There has been a government inquiry into the low-grade mine labor question. Mine owners, pleading that the cost of gold production in low-grade mines yielding a low percentage of gold per ton has gone up so high, are trying to have the color bar lifted. The color bar is a law prohibiting natives as foremen in mines or jobs requiring skill. The white man in the mines owes his position to monopoly. His task is to direct the labor of his gang of natives who are debarred by law from competing with him, however capable they may be—and sometimes are. While trouble does not appear imminent, South African students of situation declare that the artificial position created by the fact that the color of a man's skin and not his efficiency decides whether he shall be paid $7.50 a day—even as high as $15 a day—or half a dollar a day with meager food and lodging, is a condition that cannot be permanent. Mine operators want to raise the color bar, but they don't think much of the idea of raising the natives to the white wage standard. Capital, in support of the latter contention, points to a report of the economic commission that with pay at only $3.75 a day, forty-one out of fifty-two gold mines would have to shut down and the remaining eleven would operate at very reduced profits. Expedition.） DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1920 State Hist. & Nat Hist Bod State House DO, WYOMING, MON ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA STATEMENT REGARDING THE SIGNING BY THE GOVERNOR OF KENTUCKY OF A BILL TO PUNISH MOB VIOLENCE THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today made public the following statement regarding the signing by the governor of Kentucky of a bill to punish mob violence: In view of the lynching on March 29 of Grant Smith, a Negro, at Millersburg, Ky., by a mob, which overpowered the sheriff and the police chief as they were taking their prisoner to jail, it is interesting to note that only one week prior to this occurrence Gov. Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky signed a bill providing for the punishment of lynchers and for the removal of the peace officer who surrenders his prisoner. The bill was signed in the presence of a committee of colored citizens, headed by Dr. E. E. Underwood, president of the Frankfort branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, to whom the gold pen used by the governor was presented. The bill makes the penalty for lynching death or life imprisonment, and that for attempted lynching confinement in the penitentiary for not less than two years nor more than twenty-one years. The fight to secure a lynching law in Kentucky began with the legislature of two years ago, when a bill was passed submitting to the people a constitutional amendment to make it possible to effect the automatic removal of any peace officer who permitted a mob to secure a prisoner in his custody. The bill submitting the amendment was championed by a committee of colored citizens, who succeeded in securing its passage without a single dissenting vote in either branch of the legislature. As to whether or not this law will be enforced will be shown by action taken by Kentucky authorities to bring to trial the lynchers of Smith. The association has learned, just as this statement was being prepared, that the anti-lynching statute does not become effective until ninety days after the adjournment of the legislature, due to its failure to include an emergency clause.

Reservations must be made as soon as possible so the chairman will be able to inform the railroad of the number of cars desired. Each car will accommodate forty and the rates mentioned above are on the forty basis. All money must be in the hands of the railroad one month before the date of the convention, as they will require this much time to assure us perfect arrangements directly to Tuskegee. Any further information can be secured from the national chairman on transportation, Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkin, 2519 Webster avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. CHANGE REGISTRATION NOW!

SENATOR McCORMICK SCORES POINT FOR NEGRO Admonishes Colleagues to "Consider Beam in Own Eye" Urges Inquiry Into Welfare of American Negroes. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 29. In a recent speech in the Senate on the Egyptian situation, Senator McCormick of Illinois said: "Mr. President, there is another authority who might be consulted while the debate turns upon Egyptian right to liberty. In the third verse of the seventh chapter of Matthew it is written: 'Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?' "It is true that the net result of British government in Egypt has been the material development of the country to the neglect of the education of the people and their political advantage. But, Mr. President, if we are not to guarantee the government of Egypt, it is hardly a matter for our intervention. It would become us to inquire if in some measure we have not been responsible for a like neglect of some dark people with whose welfare we are charged under the constitution of the United States. My friend, the senator from Oklahoma, Mr. Owen, speaks of the imposition or the withdrawal of the protectorate in Egypt as an assumption of right on the part of the British, a right which does not exist. I cannot quarrel with him on that ground; but while we discuss the course of the British government in that regard, I think we might inquire of our own conscience if we have done all that duty requires of us in regard to some 10,000,000 of people living under the constitution of the Union. "It is written in the constitution of the Republic that no citizen shall be disfranchised by reason of his color; it is written that if there be any general disfranchisement there shall be a diminution of the representation of the states effecting the disfranchisement. But these provisions of the constitution are as dense as the liberty of Egypt. But putting aside the question of political rights, consider that the country, North and South, during the last year has witnessed disgraceful mob murders. There have been four-score lynchings in the Union during the twelve months last passed. My own state of Illinois has been the scene of violence on as great a scale as that in any other state in the Union during the last year. "As we sit in judgment upon others so let us judge of our own duty. It does not become us to speak only of the dereliction of other people. If this Senate is to consider resolves upon the state of the people of Egypt, let it make ready to resolve against mob murder and lynching in America." FOREIGN. General Wrangel, commander of the volunteer army of Russia, has been appointed to relieve General Denekine as commander of the anti-Bolshevist forces in the south of Russia. Bolshevist forces on the Polish front are being regrouped and fresh forces brought up, the Polish war office advised Major General Brynk, military attache of the Polish legation. Polish successes are reported along the Slutz river, where a Bolshevist attack has been repulsed. General Litowsk's forces captured 300 Bolshevists, four guns and much ammunition and other material. Lieut. Stanisław Zebrowski of the Polish army, tried by court-martial and found guilty of a charge of having misappropriated 10,000 marks belonging to his regiment, has been sentenced to be shot at Warsaw. Jews clashed with Moslems at Jerusalem on Easter Sunday and 188 casualties resulted, said a news agency dispatch from that city. Most of the casualties were slight.

Members of the Jockey Club of Paris, most exclusive of its kind in Europe, have resolved to boycott taxi-cabs owing to the extraordinary increase in taxi rates.

The government expenditures have exceeded the revenues "from all sources" by more than $200,000,000 during the first nine months of this fiscal year, and the reduction of $706,000,000 in the floating debt last month is but a "temporary" condition, Representative Mondell, Wyoming, Republican leader, declares in a prepared statement. Economy alone, he says, can avert a "calamitous crisis." Governors of Federal Reserve banks were warned by the Treasury Department that the government would be a heavy borrower in April and May despite the March reduction of $705,660,000 in the public debt.

A letter to Postmaster Charles McCormac of Crestone, Colo., boasting of his escape from federal authorities following the theft of $638.49 and other securities from the postoffice safe, led to the arrest of Ernest Boyd, 20 years old, at Spokane, Wash., according to a telegram received in Denver. One thousand dollars an acre is the record return in Montrose County among the potato growers reported for 1919. Frank F. Heath, one of the farmers of the Bostwick Park district, has completed his marketing and said that on twelve acres the return will average approximately $1,000 an acre. The beet acreage for the Longmont section has passed the 20,000 mark and it is expected that before planting season arrives a total of approximately 22,000 acres will have been reached. This will be one of the largest acreages ever grown for the Longmont factory. Eleven and three-quarters per cent of the school children in the Greeley district are of Russian parentage, according to a school census just completed. The census shows that there are 3,634 persons of school age in the district, and fourteen foreign countries are represented. Seventy-two gave Mexico as the birth of their parents, and sixty-three Sweden. Found guilty of stealing $3,910 from a cache buried in a pigpen at Durango, Henry Lance was sentenced to an indefinite term in the reformatory. William Lance, the boy's step-father, was found guilty of receiving stolen property. The money was taken from a hoard of $4,000 buried by Reinhold Thompson, a dairyman, for whom Henry was working. A snowplow, with which crews were attempting to break the six-day snow blockade on the Moffat road, jumped the track at Loop, Colo., four miles west of Corona, and plunged 300 feet down an embankment, but no members of the crew were injured. Two locomotives were propelling the plow at six miles an hour when the derailment occurred. The Industrial Sugar Company of Colorado is considering thirteen or more towns and beet growing communities as sites for its factories, it was announced by Secretary R. E. Jones. Although the company has not definitely selected any particular sites there are a number of splendid locations being considered, such as Johnstown, Milliken, Wiley, Berthoud, Timnath, Model, Montrose, Hillrose, Sodgwick, Kersey, La Salle and Huff The towns are being canvassed and it will be some time before the best location is secured.

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. STATE OF COLORADO.

THE LABOR QUESTION THE labor situation throughout the nation has been for the past three years very acute and more especially this year. The unions are stronger today than ever before in the history of unionism and therefore they are in position to make greater demands and are not hesitating in the least in making their wants known. In Mr. Gompers they have a master mind, recognized as the greatest labor leader in the world. To him is due largely the influential position of labor today. As to the Negro laborer there is a more lively interest manifested by the white labor leaders in enlisting him on the side of the unions than heretofore. The Negro naturally has looked, askance at the labor unions because of the fact that in many instances they have not been given fair treatment by the unions. Everyone informed of the situation realizes that the Negro laborer is needed now by both sides more than ever and consequently great inducements are held out to him to do or not to do. The hour is now at hand for some able Negro to step forward to lead the masses of laboring men who have come North from the South to guide them aright. The Negro laborer should not be allowed to be used as a tool by either side. We should not like to see him enter into the breach as a strikebreaker, but by diplomacy gain a more permanent foothold in the field of labor because of the situation. If the Negro joins the union he should be given the same rate of pay as a white laborer for the same kind of work, and the unions should enforce the same. If he takes the place of a union man, then if he proves up he should keep the job after the strike is over. A PLACE IN THE SUN. DURING the great world war just ended we often read and were repeatedly reminded by the allied statesmen, in their stress to fix the blame for the bloody catastrophe that had overtaken the world, that the direct and underlying cause of the clash of the nations was due primarily to the extravagant desire and world conquering ambition of the Kaiser for "A PLACE IN THE SUN." That is to say, the Kaiser, in his majesty and power as Emperor of Germany, sought for his kingdom a wider and greater sphere of commercial greatness, both on land and on sea. He saw and realized the magnificent and efficient sea power of England; he beheld with jealous heart and far seeing eye the rich, productive and powerful colonies that England and France held in their clutches, and once he could become master of the seas and snatch those rich, productive colonies from the hands of his secret enemies, a greater world trade for his nation would be opened to his people, thereby making him Emperor of the world, and giving his fatherland a place in the sun. Had the Kaiser succeeded in his ambitious dreams the history of the world would have been most interesting and William Hohenzollern would have been in the "spot light" on every page thereof. But God, in his mighty wisdom, did not ordain that one man nor even one nation should rule the universe, so we saw the well-laid plans of the Kaiser forever frustrated in the name of "WORLD DEMOCRACY." The result of the war is proof positive that God intended that all races and all nations shall be free and equal. Hence we see the great struggle of smaller nations and heretofore less fortunate races for "a place in the sun." In our own land we see an almost discouraged race again taking up hope with new life and greater impetus for "A PLACE IN THE SUN." On every hand we see signs of the new Negro organizing and solidifying and opening up and entering into new avenues of business life. All we need is a little more unity and confidence among us and we will soon reach the goal—"A PLACE IN THE SUN." In some respects the war was a calamity, yet, again perhaps it was a blessing, at least we hope, in bringing closer together and cementing our racial ties. As a result of the war there is great economic and political unrest, not only among the whites, but also among the Negroes. The whites are resorting to strikes and walking out and the Negro is resorting to song and smiles and walking in. Politically the Negro is clamoring for "A place in the sun." In many states of the Union we hear the Negroes knocking at the door of Congress and it will not be long until the door of hope is again flung wide open and in will walk a member of our race. But we must bear in mind that unity is the master key just now. Our success in business and every undertaking depends upon our loyalty and co-operation toward one another. Would that we had the space to put before you the startling statistics of the wealth and the volume of business of the colored man of today. Little do we think and know that we are a nation within a nation. Today the Negro is the biggest and safest asset, from an economical and labor point of view, that the country has. Then if we could only realize that fact and utilize it by uniting properly, we have only to walk up and take our place in the Sun. We have some business failures—yes. But far less than a decade ago. Why? Because we have gained more experience and growing more into business manhood. We have large insurance companies, banks, commercial houses and even a steamship line not long since put into New York bay with a Negro captain, Negro crew, cargoe and passengers. These things can be done and are only possible as a result of united action and effort. Then let us put stress upon Unity and Harmony in the race and especially among our leaders. What the General Leasing Act Means to the Whole American Nation. By F. K. LANE, Retiring Secretary of the Interior. The General Leasing act, just approved by President Wilson, should be a vital factor in decreasing living costs through its influence on the prices of the basic necessities, coal, oil, gas and phosphates for fertilizer. Productions of these raw materials will be vastly increased as a result of the throwing open of millions of acres of public lands made possible by the law. 2 WESTERN NORTHERN LU Under the law, any citizen of the United States, or of any country which extends reciprocity to the United States, may prospect on lands described in the law and, on discovery, obtain a lease which will entitle him to remove from these lands mineral wealth they now contain in return for a royalty paid to the United States. This royalty, ranging in rate from 5 per cent upward, is expected to yield between $9,000,000 and $10,000,000 a year to the government. Under the law, mineral lands thrown open to prospectors include 6,000,000 acres of possible oil lands, 40,000,000 acres of coal lands and 2,500,000 acres of phosphate lands. Farmers and consumers thus are directly interested in the law. Phosphate now is selling at unheard of prices, which makes an unusual burden for the farmer to carry. He must pass this burden along to the consumer in fixing prices for his products. The demand for oil for months has exceeded production. This has increased the price in an unusual degree. Gasoline also has gone up in price, partly as a result of the increased price of oil. An increase in oil production, therefore, should tend to reduce the price, not only of oil itself, but of gasoline, which will reduce trucking costs and have a general tendency to reduce living costs. The opening to development and use of the vast areas of coal will particularly affect that part of the United States west of the Mississippi river by providing an opportunity for manufacturing, including development of iron and steel resources of the West. The act is a radical departure from the old mining laws, in that it retains the title to the lands and deposits to the United States, but gives developers an opportunity to work without the large initial investment necessary to buy the lands or deposits, paying for them on a royalty basis as production occurs, while at the same time the government retains such a measure of control as will tend to prevent waste, improper mining and withholding the resources from use. Husbands Lacking, What Will Be the Effect on Women of the World? The emotional problem, the problem created by the fact that something like ten millions of men lost their lives in the war, is one of the supreme questions which must be faced in summing up war's effect upon women. To say just what will happen is difficult, but it is certain that millions who would have married cannot do so under today's conditions. Women will have to find their own way out. Emotions which might have been expressed in marriage will have to be diverted. One of the conditions which have kept women inferior has been the fact that they were dependent upon men for their happiness. However natural and necessary this may have been up to a certain point it must not now be considered a tragedy if woman finds new values in herself. She will be forced also to find equivalent values in other directions. Changes therefore are inevitable and we must not be too ready to say what is right and what is wrong. The banked up energy which would naturally be expressed in marriage will find effective expression. It won't be wasted. It has been said that women have not in times past made great artists nor first rate scientists. We may have come to the time when they will begin to do big things. Some one has said that "what the world needs is a generation of single women." That means that the world needs feminine energy devoted to creative purposes and not entirely absorbed in married life. This is not to say that married life should be underrated or robbed of the genius that it needs. It is to emphasize that the whole of life is not included in marriage, and that the war, having brought about unnatural conditions, affords woman an opportunity to adapt her sex and her power to making a new status for herself. Need of Good English Is Growing as Whole World Turns to Its Use. By HARVEY M. WATTS. Since English is rapidly becoming a universal world language, with American English as the determining form of it, it behooves us to take our mother tongue somewhat more seriously. Those who use English as a matter of earning their daily bread should leave nothing undone to help all those influences in the school and out of it that make for sound and precise speech. The situation is a curious one and is full of paradoxes. Everywhere there is a complaint of slovenly English, and the schools are bitterly attacked, sometimes without warrant, for not turning out those who, at least, know the three R's, "readin', ritin' and 'rithmatic." There is no question that these lacks exist and that the business world and the schools and colleges are sorely troubled by the down-at-the-heels and careless use of language. The situation is not so hopeless as one might think from the confessions of schools and colleges and the plaints of pedagogues. For there is a corrective influence at work of almost universal application; at work by means of conscious and unconscious imitation, and that is the American newspaper and the American periodical press taken as a whole. In America the great determining factor in the formation of American speech is the daily newspaper. There is no question about it that in the matter of directness of diction, clearness of expression and general all around collectiveness in conveying any given idea the language used in the reportorial, editorial and advertising columns of the American newspaper is the best English going. ```markdown ``` SHORTER A.

The most scientific and interesting bout of the semi-windup boxing tournament at the Stockyards Stadium last Monday night was the exciting ten-round tilt between Kid Bruce of Trinidad and Cyclone Johnson of Denver. It was said that Johnson was a 2 to 1 favorite over Bruce, but when the two lads got into the ring and began to spar around for a feeler, those experienced in the game saw that Kid Bruce had one on the cyclone. To say that the milling was fast and furious is but a meager description of the two men in the ring. It was a beautiful bout and the men certainly put up a good scrap and everyone got a run for his money. Both of these young men are apt scholars of the manly game of scientific boxing and should take care of themselves and improve their skill, and finally reach the place where they can command a big price.

GRAHAM'S STRING QUARTET. THIS quartet of bandolins and quitars, played by Messrs. Graham, Lankfard, Edwards and Jackson, will fill a longing desire among the people of Denver, who are always willing and ready to support talent which measures up to the satisfaction of a critical musical public. The time has come when the "would-be musician" must give way to those who have through years of study gained this experience that the rapid strides of civilization demand that recognition be extended to artists, and to this end this quartet of instrumentalists and vocalists present themselves to the public as they have proven their ability, using an everyday expression, "to deliver the goods." The artists comprising this group are as follows: W. H. Graham—Leader, who has had more than twenty years' experience in this line of music, coming to us from Kansas City, having been transferred to Colorado in the railway mail service, and has resolved to make Denver his home. He is generally termed the March King of the West, having over fifteen composition, nine of which are marches. Mr. Graham was one of the successful competitors of two years ago, receiving a prize in the contest of a military march depicting the West, in which the contestants were among the celebrated band and orchestra leaders of the country. Many of this composer's work have been on sale at the Knight-Campbell Music Company, enlisting a large patronage. The bandolin is Mr. Graham's instrument. Fred Lankford—Bandolinist and tenor singer, has a musical reputation meriting the highest commendation. A career covering a period of twenty-three years associated him with the Columbia Tennessee Jubilee Singers of Chicago for two seasons as well as being connected with mandolin clubs, quartets and orchestras in St. Joseph, Mo. where he started; also in Minnesota, Minn., and other western cities. His knowledge of music, backed up by his traveling experience, adds much to this organization. Scott Edwards—Guitarist and tenor singer, plays the 'cello-guitar and has a long musical record. Being one of the guitar players of the old school, he produces the most wonderful harmony from this instrument and is much sought after by all string players. His musical history covers much travel with shows and bands, being one of the pupils of the world's famous comedian, the late Ernest Hogan, As a singer, Mr. Edwards holds his own and his contribution to the success of this organization augurs of the greatest success. M. G. Jackson—Guitarist and baritone singer, is a musician also with much experience, having traveled with concert companies and shows; also conducted string bands in the East. He affords the quartet much strength on the harp-guitar which he plays, and in rounding out the tones he creates an effective harmony which adds to the beauty and greatness of this musical organization. The interest that Mr. Graham offers to musical circles and the assistance given on many occasions to our various institutions, Y. M. C. A., etc., by his quartet, merit the entire support of this community and, being open for engagements, a large and substantial patronage ought to be secured.

Homer, describes the famous shield of Achilles, made for him, so the story goes, by Hephaestus, the smith of the mythical inhabitants of Olympus. It was covered with pictures of cities and the people in them, soldiers lurking in ambush, farmers working in their fields, a vineyard, and wild animals. If the shield itself was nearly as beautiful as Homer's description of it, it must have been a wondrous work of art. The AMERICAN LEGION (Copy for This Department Supplied by National Headquarters of the American Legion) AMERICAN US LEGION HANDLES WAR RISK CLAIMS Head of Service Division of the American Legion Has Had Extensive Experience. Charles F. Sheridan, head of the service division of the American Legion at national headquarters, Indianapolis, is a native of Oswego, New York, and has had considerable experience in the war risk insurance bureau which enables him to handle with the greatest dispatch the thousands of war risk claims that 64600 6 T901 Following his graduation from Amherst college in 1912, Mr. Sheridan was engaged in the practice of law in Syracuse, New York, under the firm name of Sheridan & Sheridan, when he entered the service as a private and served until November 1918, when he was commissioned a lieutenant. He was transferred by the war department to the war risk section, and appointed a battalion sergeant major of infantry, December 1917. He sailed for France on Christmas day of that year and was appointed regimental sergeant major of infantry May, 1918. His entire service overseas was with the war risk section. From chief clerk of the allotment department, he was promoted to be assistant head, and was finally appointed head of the allotment department. He was appointed chief of the special service division of the bureau of war risk insurance on February 5, 1919, and continued in that position in Washington until May, 1919 when he was appointed national war risk officer of the American Legion. He was appointed assistant national secretary of the Legion and then director of the service division. LABOR UNIONS FAVOR LEGION Kern County, California, Labor Council Recommends That All Members Join World War Body. While a number of isolated cases of local unions taking action against the American Legion have been given considerable publicity in the press, practically nothing has been said with regard to the hundreds of locals through the country that have indorsed the work of the Legion. A story along this line was recently carried in the Union Labor Journal of Bakersfield, Cal., as follows: There has been a disposition upon the part of some persons who are none too desirous of seeing a friendly spirit developed between organized labor and the American Legion who have gone out of their way to make representations to the effect that union labor is antagonistic to the Legion. This sort of misrepresentation has been indulged in to the extent that false reports have been disseminated to the effect that labor organizations have attacked the American Legion in resolutions of condemnation. In no instance have we known of any such attitude upon the part of a labor organization, nor do we credit as truthful any report to that effect. On the contrary organized labor recognizes the fact that the great mass of the membership of the American Legion are working to whom a great debt is owed by the nation. It recognizes the further fact that the interests of the members of the Legion are identical with those of the rest of American working men. The national executive committee as well as the state executive committee of the American Legion has repudiated the attempts of those who have sought to make the Legion an organization antagonistic to labor, a thing which could never be because of the fact that from the ranks of labor came the great majority of the young men who made up the army of democracy. Union labor has not sought to make of the Legion a partisan of unionism nor can it take kindly to the efforts of those designing ones who try to create unity between the American Legion and organized labor. During the present week a statement has gone from Bakersfield to a certain metropolitan paper to the effect that the Kern County Labor Council had in a resolution denounced the American Legion. The report is so maliciously groundless that it could have been inspired only by a desire to influence the Legion and labor organizations elsewhere into an attitude of antagonism. The Sacramento Labor Council has this week passed a ringing resolution of endorsement of the American Legion and the Kern County Labor Council has taken occasion to deny the canard alleging enmity by stating in unequivocal terms its friendship for the American Legion, its membership and its purposes, in a resolution of indorsement. We wonder if the author of the libelous report that the Labor Council had condemned the American Legion knows what proportion of the men from this community who served in the military and naval forces was or are members of organized labor. If he had he would certainly have picked out a com- Light on Late Committee on Public Information Light on Late Committee on Public Information WASHINGTON.—Congress or at least the senate apparently would like to know something about the actual operations of the late lamented committee on public information and the present condition of its affairs. Anyway, Senator Smoot of Utah, introduced a resolution the other day, which was read, considered by unanimous consent and agreed to in part as follows: Resolved, That the director of the council of national defense is hereby directed to report to the senate as soon as practicable: A statement showing all the expenditures of the committee on public information by principal classes, such as salaries; traveling; printing done at the govern- elsewhere than at the government print and films; telephone, telegraph, and cables. In this statement set forth in ness, or occupation of each payee, to pose for which such expenditures were traveling, including subsistence, state whether the expenditure therefor includes the names and addresses of such persons to the extent and purpose of the t. A statement of the unpaid account in the same form as the foregoing. A statement of the funds and propo on public information, its employees, cation of the same at the time the co charge of its affairs. The resolution also calls for a state and disposition of files and mailing line connection with the auditing and closing mittee. Apparently, also, the senate is in ready a preliminary and partial state. 18,000 Ex-Convicts Orga A MYSTERIOUS organization of e hood has a membership which is its alms are to humanize the prisons a elsewhere than at the government printing office; advertisements, photographs, and films; telephone, telegraph, and cable; office furniture; rents; and automobiles. In this statement set forth in detail the name, address, position, business, or occupation of each payee, together with an explanation of the purpose for which such expenditures were made. If the expenditures were for traveling, including subsistence, state fully the purpose of such traveling, whether the expenditure therefor included persons other than the payee; if so, the names and addresses of such person, together with a general statement as to the extent and purpose of the traveling. A statement of the unpaid accounts of the committee on public information in the same form as the foregoing statement. A statement of the funds and property in the possession of the committee on public information, its employees, agents, or representatives, and the location of the same at the time the council of national defense was placed in charge of its affairs. The resolution also calls for a statement of funds and property recovered, and disposition of files and mailing lists and all other pertinent facts in connection with the auditing and closing of the accounts and affairs of the committee. Apparently, also, the senate is in a hurry, since if the information is not ready a preliminary and partial statement is requested. 18,000 Ex-Convicts Organize "Gray Brotherhood" A MYSTERIOUS organization of ex-convicts, known as the Gray Brotherhood has a membership which is believed to exceed 18,000. It is stated that its alms are to humanize the prisons and develop the ambitions of the inmates toward cleaner and better lives. Its officers and leaders are unnamed, but the head, who is known as the Gray Brother, is said to be a man of much capacity and influence. He is on terms of friendly intimacy with several United States senators and is said to be not unknown at the White House. The Gray Brotherhood is responsible for several prison investigations—brought with the desire to improve conditions and not merely to play politics or satisfy a grudge. It is also claimed on behalf of the Gray Brotherhood that it is thoroughly patriotic and American. so claimed on behalf of the Gray Broth and American. A statement of the program of the follows: The Gray Brotherhood will attend their incarceration, and especially on The Brotherhood will provide job cate the public to a more intelligent att ted a breach of the law. An attempt will be made to clean and politically. A fight will be made prisons. The Brotherhood will fight the p the political field itself. It will try to offices out of the hands of politicians a students. The Brotherhood will be organic prison-reform measures through the l out utterly the present penal system. Shortage of School Te THE country is faced with a seri through failure to provide adequa United States bureau of education. A statement of the program of the new organization is substantially as follows: The Gray Brotherhood will attempt to help individual prisoners during their incarceration, and especially on their release. The Brotherhood will provide jobs for released prisoners and try to educate the public to a more intelligent attitude toward the man who has committed a breach of the law. An attempt will be made to clean up the prisons, morally, hygienically, and politically. A fight will be made on the grafts said to be rampant in all prisons. The Brotherhood will fight the political control of prisons by entering the political field itself. It will try to force the wardenship and other prison offices out of the hands of politicians and into those of penological experts and students. The Brotherhood will be organized in every state to force advanced prison-reform measures through the legislatures. It is the purpose to wipe out utterly the present penal system. Shortage of School Teachers Threatens Nation Shortage of School Teachers Threatens Nation THE country is faced with a serious shortage of school teachers, chiefly through failure to provide adequate salaries, according to reports to the United States bureau of education. Conditions are becoming slightly better, however, the report states, in some sections, compared with those of last October, when the National Education association conducted an inquiry into the situation. Based on returns from state school officials, the reports show that on February 13 last there were 18,279 schools closed because of lack of teachers and 41,000 were being taught by teachers characterized as "below standard, but taken on temporarily in the emergency." Greater shortages are shown Salaries paid teachers in 1918, st $606 for elementary teachers and $1.00 From salary schedules collected from by individual teachers in three counties paid rural teachers fell far below the localities showing salaries paid as low In 190 state, county, city and priv cent of the total normal schools in the dents enrolled November 1, 1919, that falling off is shown in teacher-training departments show great increases in e America Rapidly Become FURS in a temperate climate have all the richest nation of the earth, furred nation. The last five years have Salaries paid teachers in 1918, statistics show, were on an average of $606 for elementary teachers and $1,031 for those teaching in high schools. From salary schedules collected from various states, giving salaries received by individual teachers in three counties in each state, it is shown that wages paid rural teachers fell far below the foregoing average in many states, many localities showing salaries paid as low as $150 and $200 a year. In 190 state, county, city and private normal schools, representing 60 per cent of the total normal schools in the country, there were 11,500 fewer students enrolled November 1, 1919, than during the prewar period. A similar falling off is shown in teacher-training departments in colleges, while other departments show great increases in enrollment. America Rapidly Becoming Most Befurred Nation America Rapidly Becoming Most Befurred Nation FURS in a temperate climate have always been a sign of wealth. As we are the richest nation of the earth, we are rapidly becoming the most be-furred nation. The last five years have seen the largest amount of furs sold in this country in its history at stead- in this country in its history at steadily increasing prices and at the moment the United States, next to Russia, is probably the greatest consumer of fur garments in the world. While London still disputes the fact, American fur dealers say this country has become the center of the fur industry. It is interesting to note the 12,000 Alaska sealskins offered for sale on account of the United States government were dressed, dyed, and machined in this country instead of at London as formerly. The furs sold in February in St. Louis, came from every corner of the world and included 200,000 China dog mats, used mostly for coats in cold north-west countries; from Siberia, 1,500,000 squirrels, 200,000 ermine, 8,000 white foxes, 70,000 kollinskies, 200,000 marmots, 125,000 fitch, and 6,000 Russian sables The furs sold in February in St. world and included 200,000 China dog r west countries; from Siberia, 1,500,000 foxes, 70,000 kollinskles, 200,000 marr sables. Australia sent 1,000,000 pounds of sum, 40,000 wallaby, 11,000 kangaroo, red foxes. From Persia and Turkestan were o Europe contributed 80,000 molesk The United States offered 800,000 90,000 wolves, 1,000 silver foxes, 125,000 Australia sent 1,000,000 pounds of rabbit skins, 500,000 Australian opossum, 40,000 wallaby, 11,000 kangaroo, 100,000 ringtall opossums, and 60,000 red foxes. The United States offered 800,000 muskrats, 300,000 skunk, 22,000 beavers 60,000 volves, 1,400 silver foxes, 125,000 raccoons, and many other varieties munity in which the number of workingmen who carry union cards and an honorable discharge from the army was not so numerous as in Kern county. It would surprise him to know that at least half of the men who went into the service from Kern county are or have been members of a labor union. The resolution follows: "Whereas, The American Legion is an organization composed of men and women who gave their services to the government of the United States or one of the allied powers during the great war; and "Whereens, The American Legion is organized for the purpose of promoting the interests of those who gave their services to the country in that great crisis; and "Whereens, The interests of the great majority of the members of the American Legion are known to be identical with the aims and aspirations of organized labor; therefore be it "Resolved. By the Kern County Labor Council, in regular session assembled, this 23rd day of December, 1919, that we indorse the American Legion and recommend that all members of local unions affiliated with this body eligible for membership in the American Legion take their rightful places as members of that organization." FRENCH PAY TENDER TRIBUTE Present Elaborate Certificates to Next Kin of American Boys Who Died in the War. The French certificates, 118,409 of which were distributed to the next kin of the American soldiers, sailors and marines who died in the war, are beautifully engraved diplomas typical of the artistic nature of the French people. The certificates were distributed by the posts of the American Legion with appropriate exercises on Washington's birthday, in expression of the French government's appreciation of the supreme sacrifice made by these men. The principal figure of the group symbolizes the soul and spirit of the American army which helped France to maintain alive the flame of the torch of liberty and justice. The sword is not in the scabbard but ready at any moment to protect and stanchly defend the weak and oppressed, who are symbolized in the group to the left by a mother holding her baby to her breast, and to insure 1914 1915 A LA MÉMOIRE DUS FORTES DU MÉMOIRE PROGRAMME DU MÉMOIRE MONTAGNE DU MÉMOIRE Certificate Presented to the Kin of Americans. freedom and justice to the coming generations, represented by the figure of the kneeling boy, praying and thank- ing God for deliverance. At the right, the figure of a man, chained and shackled, symbolizes the spirit of evil and the victory over our enemies. Also at the right, crowning the spirit of America, stands "Glory" who rejoices with the old war veteran, standing to the left of the principal figure, symbolizing the armies, who are always ready to fight for the good of humanity. Universal fame is symbolized by the winged figure, flying over the group, and trumpeting to the world, the great triumph in which the United States participated. The American eagle, posed on the staff of peace, watches zealously and stands ready to swoop in case enemies again endeavor to disturb the peace of the world, so dearly acquired. The entire group is framed by a border of oak and laurel leaves which are always decreed to the victors. At the foot of the cenotaph the flags of France and America are draped and joined together by a wreath, which is the mark of gratitude and homage which France pays to our sons who gave their lives for liberty and justice. The lines engraved on the wall behind the group are taken from one of Victor Hugo's poems, and when translated read, "Those who died piously for their country, have the right that at their graves, the people come to pray." Humming birds are not found outside the Western hemisphere. WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS From Persia and Turkestan were offered 10,000 Persian lambskins.

Prepare the Mea t in Short Order. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) ‘What's in a name? Much, some- times. For instance, hash. Hash has become one of the seven original jokes But hash, if well made and well seasoned, is a culinary delicacy. No matter how good It is, however, it grows tiresome If served too much. So the uneanny meat-saving cook serves her hash in new forms, labeled with new names, and the finicky in her family eat it with a relish. Sometimes the meat has been cooked, hut oftentimes It is tough portions of steak or other cuts which have been cut off before cooking. Chopping makes it tender and also allows it to be cooked quirkly and economically. ‘The following recipes mre recom- mended by the home economics kiteh- en of the United States department of agriculture: Mock Rabbit. slices of bread % pound beef and moistened with wa- 1 pound sausage, or ter. 1 pound beef 1 egE. % pound sausage 1 onion. ‘meat. Pepper and salt. % pound salt pork. Chop the meat. Chop the onion and ‘ook It—but do not brown it—in the fat fried out of a small portion of pork. ‘Add the bread and cook a few min- utes, When cool, mix all the ingredi- ents and form into a long roll. The surface can easily be made smooth if the hand is wet with cold water. Lay the remaining pork, cut in thin slices, on top, and bake 40 minutes in hot oven, The sausage may be omitted, If desired, and other seasoning used.

Every stove has two dampers, or should have, and an efficient house- wife knows how to operate them. The check draft damper controls the rate at which a fire burns. By open- ing it a fire 1s checked. When It is closed the draft is increased. Learn to use it so that it will do its work, specialists in the department of agri- culture suggest. If this damper is properly construct- ed and managed a fire may be checked without opening the coaling door. The turn damper fits loosely so that gas may pass off even when It {s closed. In most heaters, this damper should be kept closed except when starting the fire. Otherwise most of the heat goes up the chimney. The damper in the coaling door should be used only to let in air and to consume gases that are formed, especially when soft coal Is used. The ash-pipe damper admits the alr nec- essary for the ignition of the coal or wood. Regulate the air supply by ‘this damper—not by opening the ash: Dit andes BEANS ECONOMICAL AS FOOD They Are One of Cheapest Sources of Protein and Help Supply Val- uable Constituent.

Thicken the gravy with the flour cooked In the butter. A little seasoning, such as a bit of bay leaf, a clove andl a small onion, improves the tomato sauce. As the pepper and onion are not likely to be cooked as soon as the meat, it Is well to fry them in a Ittle fat before adding the other ingredients. This amount will serve six to eight peo- ple. Cannelon of Beef. ‘This dish is prepared by making chopped beef into a roll and baking it wrapped in a buttered paper, a meth- od designed to keep in the steam and so insure a moist. tender dish. The paper must be removed before serv- ing. The roll should be basted occa- sionally with butter and water or drip- pings and water. In preparing the roll an egg may be added for each pound and a half of meat, and chopped pars- ey, onton juice, lemon peel, or finely chopped green peppers make good sea- soning. A thickened gravy may be made from the drippings, the liquid used being either water or tomato juice. “Strips of pork laid on the roll may be substituted for the buttered paper and basting. Meat Rolls. Small quantities of cold ham, chick- en, or other meat may be utilized for meat rolls. The meat should be chopped fine, well seasoned, mixed with enough savory fat or butter to make it “shape,” and formed into rolls about the size of a finger. A short dough (made, say, of a pint of flour, two tablespoonfuls of lard, one tea- spoonful of baking powder, salt and milk enough to mix) should be rolled thin, cut into strips, and folded about the meat rolls, care being taken to keep the shape regular, The rolls should be baked in a quick oven until they are of a delicate brown color, and served hot. HOMEMADE MIXTURE IS BEST Various Prepared or Self-Raising Flours Are More Expensive Than Those .of Housewife. ‘The various prepared or self-rais- ing flours are more expensive than ‘the mixture that the housewife can easily make by adding the requisite amount of baking powder to flour and sifting It several times, It is a con- venience and a saving of time to keep a mixture of this kind on hand, as one sifting provides enough for a month's use for cakes and muffins, Wash the piano keys with a damp rather than a wet cloth. ae Mildew in leather can be rubbed off with vaseline. eels Shoe polish on clothing can be re moved by vinegar. ee Frozen fish is just as nutritious as fresh fish and considerably cheaper. ‘To thaw it out lay it in cold water.

ORDERS FROM BERLIN START FERMENT OF POPULATION— THIRTY-FIVE INJURED, ee ea ts ea Mayence, April 8. — Disturbances broke out In Frankfort, but energetic intervention by the French troops re- stored order, From German sources it is learned that six Germans were killed and thirty-five wounded, It is. reported that the manifestations which gave rise to these incidents were due to an order originating in Berlin, “The first day of the occupation of Frank- fort passed without Incident, ‘The re- ception by the population was almost cordin!,” sald General Degoutte, the French commander, on his return from ‘a tour of inspection. “Then, suddenly, on orders from Ber- Jin, a certain ferment seized the popu- lation, This ferment degenerated into aggression and our soldiers, in self: defense, were obliged to use their arms. So far as IT know we had po losses. “The incident shows how we must wateh proceedings In Berlin, and that is why the events in the Ruhr demand my whole attention, You cannot con- sider what is going on in Rohr and here apart; there is a close relation between the events we are witnessing. “The aggression at Frankfort and events in the’Rubr are attributable to the sume military reaction, Of that we have absolute proof, “The Berlin government allowed the reichswehr to invade the Ruhr distvict unnecessarily, because it was the de- sire of Kapp, Von Luettwitz and thet like. “The coup detat having failed only through the general strike, the mili- tary party sought revenge on the work- ing classes and invented the Bolshevist peril in the Rubr. It ought to be known in France and elsewhere that there never was any Bolshevist peril in the Ruhr, “It was simply a case of a pepula- tion of workers which hates Prussian militarism asking only to be allowed to work in peace. That population was still at work in Essen yesterday. What is happening now is the result of the reichswehr occupation.” Berlin, April 7.—A proclamation ad- dressed by the German government to the inhabitants of the towns oceupied by the French was issued today, It says: “Less than 14,000 troops have been collected in the Ruhr district, or at- most the exact number permitted by the agreement with the entente. France has regarded it as reconeilable with the state of peace to occupy flour- ishing German towns as a reprisal, ‘The world’s peace has never been more monstrously played with than it has been just now by France.” “It is that hard-hearted opponent which alone is responsible for making you the victim of this shylock policy. ‘The imperial government will do everything it can to shorten your pe- riod of suffering, It will not let Ger- many be shattered in this cunningly devised fashion.” Danish Radicals Cheer Soviets. Copenhagen.—The police lave been out in fall force again and special measures have been taken to keep the crowds away from the neighborhood of the royal palace, Syndiealists and Socialist. ugitators held meetings be- fore the town hall, at which there was much talk of a soviet republic and other revolutionary meusures, ‘The calling off of the general strike seem: to have been obeyed virtually ull along: the line and life Is almost normal again, Shipping Board Seeks Advice.

Some reviewers of the styles always have an eye out for the sensational—the knee length skirts or those impossibly narrow ones—but these freakish things do not get very far. Only very young, very pretty and unsophisticated persons may be excused for adopting them, and then they are only tolerated as a little youthful folly for which the inexperienced are not to be blamed too much. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. In any assembly of people who have plenty of money to spend on clothes, there is usually little that is extreme or frenkish; what pleases the student of dress is the beauty and the refinement of the new styles. A very good example of this appears in the pretty frock of figured oulard which is pictured here. It is Usual and Un THE COLORADO STATESMAN Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. A T the left of the two suits pictured above, there is a dressy model of very unusual design and very handsome. It is made of dark blue twilled cloth, for which either tricotine or gabardine might be used as a substitute; but any one of them must be chosen in a good quality, because the success of the design depends upon sufficient body, or weight, in the material, and its finish. A narrow, tubular braid of white silk appears to be applied to the coat and skirt by couching it on. TWODOLLARSAYEAR Everywhere we come upon the unexpected in this model—in the cuffs of white crepe de chine, ornamented with white soutache braid, in the white motif of net and embroidery silk or braid, daringly placed at the top of a split in the coat, and other details. The one-piece skirt arrives at a narrowed-in line at the bottom, by means of an over-lapped seam that runs in a diagonal instead of a vertical line and is left open to the depth made of that perennial favorite, dark blue silk figured with white, but foulard, and similar silks, are shown in other colors that are equally attractive and might be made by the same pattern. There is nothing complicated about the design; it combines a straight skirt, medium in width, with a tunic graduated in length and bordered with velvet ribbon in the same color as the silk. The bodice is plain, cut in the fashion of a bouse, with elbow sleeves. The collar, cuffs and chemisette of organdy and narrow filet lace, lend their daintiness and crispness to the model and a row of very small pearl buttons, set on the chemisette, reveal a careful finishing touch that must not be overlooked. The velvet ribbon which crosses the chemisette and ties in a bow at the back, is a little wider than that used to border the tunic. It writes a delightful "this" to a beautiful frock. usual in Suits of the item. The braid is applied to the bottom of the skirt in vertical lines at the front; at the back in diagonal lines and the coat corresponds with it in this respect. The bottom of the coat is caught up at the front in a deep fold. It hangs straight, over a smock of white crepe de chine, fringed with chenille. The sleeves are long and flaring. An ingenuious and gifted designer has achieved a masterpiece in this suit. The other suit is simple, practical and clever, with widened hip lines made by pieces set on and fastened down with three bone buttons making four plaits. It has one of the few coats that are not open at the front to the waist line and sets rather closely to the figure. John Bottomly CARRIER Parlors, 2745 Welton Street. DENVER, COLORADO.
