Colorado Statesman

OUR TERRITORY: COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO, ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY CROSSING THE RUBICON BY DR. D. E. JOHNSON, ASSOCIATE EDITOR MESSENGER, HOT SPRINGS, ARK. VOL. XXVI. THE transition of the Negro from the low, flat, boggy slough of hopeless drudgery, across the troubous stream of a caste ruthless and cruel, where murderous mines of race prejudice are thickly strewn and pursuing destructive torpedoes of hatred are racing, he, with an indestructible faith in God—a faith sorely tried by a determined effort upon the part of Anglo-Saxon (2) to teach him at once that God is good and partial to color; but clinging to his father's interpretation of God ("no respecter of persons or races"), the Negro resolutely plunges into the turbid waters of the social-political flood which separates him from the land of the promised-democratic-freeedom, where he, like others, would choose his own road to racial and personal happiness. This is considered rank heresy in America and is the cause of strife and abuse. The enemies of his progress stand threatening upon the high ground of Americanism and cry, "What right have you to approach this side? You are seeking, not to escape abuse and repression, but your desire is to be our associates; social equality is your presumptuous dream. Back! Avaunt! God never intended you to dwell in peace on this side, and I will spill the last drop of red blood in my veins before I'll call you mister or your women Miss. Back! I say! You want social equality! You cross this stream of American color-caste at your peril." The Negro answers, "You mistake me. My mother taught me to be particular in my choice of associates; proper association; good, gentle, fair, dealing, law-abiding, brave, fearless in the cause of humanity, God-fearing people are the only safe associates. No, you mistake me; I do not seek to associate with you. I only seek to cross to the higher ground of American civilization and view the rising sum of true democracy from that exalted eminence. There is room for all up there, and I protest to you that I seek to escape much of the race comming imposed upon me since sojourning on this side of proscription; and by the grace of the living God I will cross this Rubicon or be swallowed in its murky waters. For hell is preferable to a longer residence in this minmatic district of limitation and restriction of human decencies. No, my fearsome fellow citizen (2), 300 years of social equality is more than I sought or desired. Mine is the call of God to higher ground—I emphatically do not seek social intermingling; not on your life." No levity. The charge is constantly made against us, that we desire "social equality." Our denial only increases the vociferations. Maybe we are, both white and black, honestly mistaken—both right and both wrong. The only way out is for each to understand what the other means by "social equality;" for, after all, it simmers down to a matter of definition. In the sense as used by the whites, no! no!! no!!! By hek, no! But in its true, etymological and lexicographical definition (take a deep breath and say), yes! we desire for ourselves and children the best the world has to give. This desire is the best evidence of the Negro's sanity. An idiot does not care because he does not know. Let us enjoy the best in the world if we are able and willing to pay for it, and ... Negro would not care whether he saw a white or Czech or Malay once a quarter. It is not the personal contact with others we seek, but the removal of color-disability in our own land. Is a white who desires less for himself and his whether in Europe, Asia or Africa? Is there a same white who blames the Negro for this natural human aspiration? A CONUNDRUM. A ragged, germ-laden, filthy, paper five-dollar bill found himself on a shelf in a bank in company with a ninety-five-dollar gold piece, and, turning up one corner of his torn lip, he find with a chuckle. "I am glad to worn out. I have had a varied ex- perience; have been in some of the most disreputable places in the world. Only day before yesterday I was stolen out of a "pot" in a poker game. The thief stuffed me in his nasty pocket with things which nearly stifled me by foul odors. And he kept scratching that side on which he had put me until I thought he would tear me to pieces. He was trying to dislodge cooties. Well, yesterday, after suffering horrors, he exchanged me for a Pullman ticket and supper in the dining car. The agent has just deposited me here. Have you been here long? The gold piece answered. "No. I have not long come from the mint. Have had only one master. I must say, he was a nice, clean fellow—clean of speech and person. He had a bag full of gold coin, eagles and double eagles. I felt sorry for him though; he had a sick wife and one of the sweetest little girls I have ever seen. Well, he offered me in exchange for a meal in the diner and they refused, although I heard him say he had not been able to give his sick wife and baby any warm food all day—only pop and peanuts. And last night they refused to take me in exchange for a berth in the sleeper. The best he could do for his sick, tired wife and sleepy baby was to rent some pillows from the train porter. I was much embarrassed to be turned down like that. I wonder what is the matter of me. I was pronounced good at the mint." Does the worth of a dollar depend upon who owns it? Does color-caste modify the purchasing power of U. S. money according to our constitution? VIRGINIA COUNTY AGENTS. The Negro county agents, who are at work in Virginia under the direction of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute Extension Division, which is cooperating effectively with the States Relations Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, are carrying to thousands of men, women and children, scattered through twenty-three Virginia counties, the message of better living and racial good will. They are bringing into sympathetic relation the liberally minded members of the white and colored races. They are co-operating with other community leaders. These county agents are directing their own energies toward getting people to work effectively through community organizations. They are reaching old and young alike. They are setting up and working out programs of community improvement work. They are saying little and doing a great of valuable pioneer work in the field of economic organiaztion, which will ultimately enrich all classes throughout Virginia, the South, and the nation. Their recent conference at Hampton Institute, presided over very ably by John B. Pierce, a Tuskegee-Hampton graduate, who is now special agent of the States Relations Service, United States Department of Agriculture, for Virginia and five neighboring states, and in charge of four district agents and fifty-two county agents (twelve of whom are Hampton graduates), was called (1) to give the agents an opportunity to discuss some of the problems of field work which they had discovered; and (2) to help them find solutions for their problems through the interchange of personal experiences and the absorption of ideas from the conference speakers.—Southern Workman. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1920 State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc. State House ADO, WYOMING, MON RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA Easter Sunday was a great day at the Second Baptist Church. It is said to have been the greatest Easter Sunday in the history of the church. An unusually large attendance at Sunday school at 10 a. m. Supt. J. C. Corbett is a man of years' of experience in Sunday school work, and can always be depended upon to be on the job. At 11 a. m. a good prayer and covenant meeting; at 2:30 p. m., Rev. J. M. Riddle, D. D., pastor at large, and superintendent of the Northern California Mission Baptist convention, was present and preached a rousing sermon on baptism; 3:15 p. m., Pastor Rev. J. T. Muse descended into the pool and baptized the following named candidates: Elwood Miller, Jake Miller, J. Simmons Ramus, John Widenner. Every one of the candidates were men of families, except one, the first named above Elwood, who is about 16 years of age. Two of these men are up in the '60s, and it was remarkable to see the strong faith that these candidates had in God. A large crowd was present to witness the scenes of the baptism. At 7 p. m. an Easter program was rendered, which was indeed gratifying. Master Milton Miller presided at the piano for the program. Milton is only 12 years of age, and we predict a great future for him. The Young Men's Orchestra put the finishing touches on the program. The house was startled with applause for them to return for their second number. This orchestra consists of the following named young men: Newton Williams, Arthur Machen, Laurence Machen and William M. Keith. Brief remarks by the pastor, Rev. Muse, which were much encouraging to the participants, Mrs. J. T. Muse and Mrs. O. H. Earl deserve great credit for their patience and good training of the children for this program. At 8:30, Rev. Muse preached a stirring sermon on Easter, after which the church covenant was read and candidates fellowshipped into the church, then communion of the Lord's supper. The choir furnished excellent music for the service. A beautiful solo was sung by J. H. Wilkinson, the chorister. The church was beautifully decorated and every seat was occupied. The Second Baptist Church is moving on to perfection. Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Gaither, Mrs. M. F. Gaither, the state president of the Home and Foreign Mission Society, and Miss Sadie Clay of Espocto, motored to Woodland, and were entertained at dinner Easter Sunday in the social hall of the Second Baptist Church, Rev. J. M. Riddle, D. D., superintendent of the Mission and pastor at large for the Northern California Baptist convention; Mr. Ramus, Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Muse and Mrs. Hicherson of Windover. This was in deed a great dinner feast. Mrs. E. D. Drandridge and son, Clarence, of Ocean Park, Cal., are here looking after Rev. Dandridge, the husband and father of the above named. Rev. Dandridge has been seriously ill with asthma, but seems to be much improved at this writing. Their son, Clarence, has taken down with the meusles since he arrived, but is doing nicely. Mrs. O. H. Earl is in Sacramento this week taking treatment for her eye, which has been giving her serious trouble for the past few weeks. Mr. and Mrs. James Longers have returned from their four weeks' visit to Sacramento, Oakland and San Francisco, Cal. They report a lovely trip and their very looks verify their statement. Mrs. Longers says that she gained ten pounds, and Mr. Longers gained several pounds. Mr. Longers is the city mail carrier. Deacon J. C. Corbett, Mrs. O. H. Earl, Miss Anna Widener, Mrs. M. F. Gaither, Elwood Miller, Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Muse were delegates from the Second Baptist Church to attend the quarterly convention of the Sacramento Valley District, which convened at Sacramento, Cal., Wednesday-Thursday of last week. Upon their return they reported a splendid session. Rev. J. T. Muse was elected moderator of the Sacramento Valley District Convention, to fill the unexpired term of Rev. E. D. Drandridge, who has been on the sick list for the past six months and unable to fill his office. The Baptist Young People's Progressive club had quite a large attendance at its regular meeting Friday evening of last week. J. C. Corbett, chairman of the minute men and women speakers of the interchurch world movement, addressed the club on the subject, "The World's New Day." The subject was beautifully illustrated and interesting to both young and old. Master Harold Keith, after being confined at home for a week on account of the measles, is now out again. THE FIRST AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH Eighth Street and Towne Avenue, Los Angeles, Calif. REV. A. MILTON WARD, Minister Phone South 3780, Residence, 1460 Griffith Avenue. Those were stirring times down in historic old First A. M. E. church on Eighth and Towne avenue last Sunday. Easter was celebrated in the good old-fashioned way. The church was crowded at 5 o'clock a. m. to hear the sermon by the pastor upon "The Resurrection," and it was crowded again to overflow at 11 a. m., when he continued in sermon upon the risen Christ. The two choirs under Choirmaster-Organist Elmer C. Bartlett were out fully a hundred strong, and with the many sweet singing birds made the loud hosannas ring in praise of the risen King. There were two men converted and seven men and women were added to the membership of the church. Many babies, one boy and an adult were baptized. The offering at the morning services was one thousand dollars ($1,000). The Sunday school jubilee program was directed by Mrs. Lydia Smith Ward, and the program by the children was pronounced excellent. The total offering for the day was more than $1,200. The Easter sacred concert by the senior and celestial under direction of Professor Elmer C. Bartlett at 7:30 o'clock was par excellence. The church was crowded early and standing room was at a premium. Judge Charles S. Crall of the Supreme Court delivered a splendid lay sermon upon "The Spirit of Easter," and received many loud amens. The Easter quarter for 100 new members (which up to date has reached 76), and for $2,500 will be concluded on the fourth Sunday before the pastor leaves as a delegates to the General Conference, which convenes in St. Louis, Mo. The names of all donors are to be printed in a souvenir First A. M. E. Church bulletin. Our third quarterly meeting for this conference year is to be held next Sunday, with Presiding Elder James H. Wilson, who is to preach morning and evening. The Rev. J. C. Anderson will preach the holy communion sermon at 3 p. m.

In introducing Dr. Durham, Principal Morton told of his connections with the inter-racial committee in Atlanta, and of Dr. Durham's fearless and courageous stand for justice and the square deal for the Negro. A feature of the program was the address of Dr. P. C. Change, secretary of the Chinese Educational Commission, which is visiting the institute; also an address by Dr. P. C. Chen, president of the Peking Teachers' College, Peking, China, and chairman of the educational commission, both of whom paid most beautiful tributes to Tuskegee, Booker T. Washington and Principal Moton. At the conclusion of the exercises, Dr. Chang presented to Tuskegee Institute a silk Chinese flag upon which was a sentiment and the signatures of the members written in Chinese. The flag will be hung in the museum. SANTA CLARA COLONISTS START NEW SOCIAL SCHEME. Pioneer Colored Men Brave All Traditions in New Economic Movement Santa Clara, Lower California, Mexico, April 7, 1920.—The Santa Clara valley is today boasting of the greatest economic and social move ever made by the American Negro. In a nutshell it is this: "Instead of bringing with them from the United States and planting in Mexico the old Anglo-Saxon economic theory that the strong and the rich should eat and the weak and the poor NO.27 must starve and die, all of the colonists in the valley in a meeting held more than ten days ago unanimously plan that all marketing of products will be done on the co-operative unit plan. If any man gets sick he is carried by the rest of the group until he recovers his health. If any man gets short of food-stuffs he is credited and supplied by the rest of the group upon the understanding that he will make this credit good as soon as he is able. Under no circumstances is any honest, hard-working man allowed to fail because of temporary financial disability or sickness. The new economic plan is proving a great success. Work of clearing, ploughing and planting is proceeding in the valley at a rate never before equalled. And everybody here is happy. A NEGRO WOMAN'S SUCCESS. In no city of the North, or of the South either, for that matter, is there so large, splendid, well-managed and successful a home for self-supporting Negro girls, conceived, established and conducted by a Negro woman as the Phillis Wheatley Home in Cleveland. This woman is Miss Jane E. Hunter, who began life as a poor country girl in South Carolina. The Phillis Wheatley Association does a work similar to that of the Young Woman's Christian Association. Its entire plant is now valued at $85,000, and the budget has increased since 1913 from $1,500 to $25,000 in 1920. There is a mortgage of $14,000, $9,000 of which is on the main building and $5,000 on the annex purchased during the past year for the development of the educational work. It has a staff of nine workers, some of whom conduct a weekly program of classes in English studies, in home economics, and in various forms of recreation. Besides, there are three voluntary workers who are being trained for social work. During the past nine months 374 girls have been housed and more than 5,000 placed in positions through the employment department. The 1,200 members of the association assist in its maintenance by paying from one dollar to one hundred dollars per year. The Phillis Wheatley Home, a little mustard seed planted in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, is spreading its roots; it is carrying good tidings of protection and Christian influence to all Negro girls. LABOR'S DEMANDS. Industry is interpreting peace in terms of wages. It is true that wages must be adjusted to the range of prices. Man cannot live on promises, and falling prices are still at best only promises. But let us not forget that wages are always a burden on society—a burden that must be cheerfully borne when justly imposed. An honest day's work must be paid for by an honest, that is to say, a just wage. But the demands now made by labor for increased wages are unjust, they cover too much. The unskilled worker and the skilled as well should be protected by insurance against accident, sickness, old age, and unemployment. These are the principal items in the program of welfare legislation. They should be provided by the state through taxation, for they outside the field of profit-yielding enterprise. But I would not have you suppose that I favor paternal government. To avoid this and at the same time to secure to labor the needed protection, the government should call to its aid the chosen representatives of all the parties in interest, seeking their advice, but reserving to itself the power to act. Lincoln said, "No man is good enough to govern another man without his consent," and we may add, in dealing with the industrial problems of today, no group of men is wise enough to determine the rights of another group without its advice and the advice of all concerned—Southern Workman.

Enyart, multimillionaire banker, stock grower, ranch and oil land owner of Ordway, Colo. In the city election in Grand Valley Elmer E. Wheatley, editor of the Grand Valley News, was elected mayor; W. P. Craven, William Ullery and S. B. Wasson, councilmen for the two-year term, and W. J. Kerlee, councilman for the one-year term. Following a dispute over a herd of cattle, W. H. Hopper, a prominent cattleman living on Tallebasssee creek, is in a hospital in Cañon City in a serious condition as the result of a bullet wound received in his right leg and the loss of blood. Charles Rauber, a well-known rancher living in the western part of Fremont county, is in jail at the same place charged with the shooting. The battle is said to have resulted from an altercation over cattle belonging to Hopper, who maintained that Rauber, who was being paid by him to feed them, was not obeying an agreement they had made. Greeley has 12,223 residents, according to the unofficial census completed by a local publishing company, which is preparing a city directory. The unofficial census was taken with a great deal of care and its figures tally closely with estimates of the city officials, based on number of water users, and also with statistics showing the increase in housing facilities. The count taken for the city directory in April, 1918, showed 11,297 people. The official 1920 census count on Greeley has not been published as yet. A change of venue to Greeley in Weld county will be asked in the case of Rienzi Dickens, accused of murdering his father, William H. Dickens, Longmont pioneer and banker, on Nov. 30, 1915. Rienzi Dickens' attorneys allege popular prejudice. Rienzi Dickens has been ordered to appear in the District Court on Wednesday, April 14, when District Attorney R. W. Fleming will ask for judgment on the remittitur in the supreme court, and a date for a new trial of the case. The establishment of an airplane field, probably in Colorado, for the purpose of patrolling the United States national forests in Colorado and other states in this district, is very likely, according to Allen S. Peck, district forester. The air service fire patrol of the United States forest service is meeting with great success on the Pacific coast, according to Fred Morrell, assistant district forester, who has just returned from the Law Enforcement conference at San Francisco. Ray Sherman, a student at the University of Colorado and son of G. R. Sherman, a banker and mining man of Boulder, is dead; Harold Muth, a companion, lies seriously injured at the county hospital in Denver, while John Evans, Harold Altken and Beatrice Williams, college chums of the two men, sustained minor injuries as a result of a collision between their automobile and a machine driven by John Musser at East Seventeenth avenue and Franklin street, in Denver. Five thousand people attended Holly's fourth annual dairy celebration, which, for magnitude and general excellence, eclipsed any of the shows given in previous years. There were more than 100 entries in the pure bred Holstein cattle show and more than sixty entries in the horse show. A fine poultry show was added to this year's exhibition for the purpose of stimulating the poultry industry in the Holly district of the lower Arkansas valley. An auction sale of 5,966 acres of state school land, which was held in the House of Representatives at the capitol by the State Board of Land Commissioners, netted $125,229.62. The average sale price per acre was $20.90, and the land is located in Alamosa, Bent, Clear Creek, Jefferson, Conejos, Elbert, El Paso, Larimer, Lincoln, Logan, Montezuma, Rio Grande, Routt, Washington and Yuma counties. Announcement has been made by President C. A. Duniway of Colorado College that tuition at the college next year will be $120 a year, an increase of $40 a year. Increases in salaries of professors is responsible for the boost, he said. It is estimated that the increase will add $20,000 a year to the college funds. Twenty-five landowners of the Greeley-Poudre irrigation district, including members of the Greeley-Poudre board, have taken physical possession of the Cobb lake inlet canal. Men who were engaged with scrapers and other implements on the embankments of the canal have been ordered off the property and have been warned against further trespassing, according to reports from Greeley. John Rack, farmer, charged with manufacturing liquor on his ranch, eighteen miles south of Fort Morgan, was convicted in District Court and sentenced to serve six months in the county jail and to pay the costs of the trial. Rack pleaded guilty after twenty-five witnesses had been heard. The trial of Alexander Burghard, who was arrested with Rack, will be held soon. The state of Colorado has not the right to collect state inheritance tax upon that portion of an estate which is taken by the United States government as federal inheritance tax. Only after the federal government has taken its share of an estate does the state inheritance tax apply. This is the effect of a decision rendered by the Colorado supreme court. Aside from fraternal insurance, there were in force in Colorado, at the beginning of the present year, 263,895 life insurance policies, representing a total written business of $321,340,451, according to official figures obtained in an annual report by Claude W. Fairchild, state insurance commissioner. Hudson citizens voted unanimously to 0, to authorize reconstruction of the Horse Creek reservoir under a $100,000 contract recently let to a Denver firm with the proviso that the property owners should first approve it before it becomes operative.

DISTRIBUTORS --- INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE SALUD MEDICINA The AMERICAN LEGION (Copy for This Department Supplied by National Headquarters of the American Legion) STARTS FUND FOR BUILDING Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce Heads Movement for Memorial and Permanent Headquarters. The Indianapolis chamber of commerce is raising a fund for the erection of a war memorial building to be the permanent national headquarters of the American Legion which, with appropriations by the city, county and state, promises to run to several million dollars. PETER H. BURKE "Every citizen of the city of Indianapolis and every organization owes a debt of appreciation and gratitude to the men who so ably and persistently and skillfully carried on the campaign for Indianapolis," said Charles F. Coffin, president of the Indianapolis chamber of commerce, which contributed to a fund to send a large delegation to the Minneapolis convention. "There is now an obligation as well as an opportunity upon the citizens of Indianapolis to show that they all appreciate the significance of the fact that the headquarters of the great organization are to be permanently located in Indianapolis. It is not enough simply to have obtained them. I think you will agree with me that the least the city of Indianapolis can do is to supply the Legion ample grounds free of charge upon which they will erect one of the handsomest buildings that Indianapolis has ever had. "Bringing the headquarters of this organization to Indianapolis is not like bringing a factory or industrial plant to the city. With this organization comes a power from which will go influences for law and order and civilization." The fund started by the chamber of commerce grew quickly. The county commissioners shortly took steps looking to a half million dollar bond issue, the county's contribution to the fund. The state legislature is expected to make appropriation for the memorial and the Legion posts will canvass the state for contributions to what will probably be a $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 memorial fund. A plan is now under consideration to purchase two city blocks lying between two parks which would clear a plaza between the city post office on the south and the city library on the north, which the new memorial building would face. POPPY AS MEMORIAL FLOWER Tacoma (Wash.) Post Adopts Resolution Urging Flanders Fields Blossom Be Made Official. A request has been received by Franklin D'Oller, national commander of the American Legion, to have the Shirley poppy adopted as the memorial flower of the Legion. The request originated with the Edward B. Rhodes Post No. 2 of Tacoma, Wash., which has adopted a resolution favoring the adoption of the poppy. The resolution adopted by the Washington post was as follows: "Lest we in the day's work, surrounded by home and happiness, forget our comrades who sleep in France, and here in the arms of the motherland; "Lest we forget 'that greater love' of these American boys who 'gave their lives for their fellow men.'" "Lest we forget that 'In Flanders fields the poppies grow, among the crosses, row on row,' and that nature seems to have raised in these simple flowers the most eloquent monument—a waving scarlet blessing over their graves: "Be it resolved, That the Edward B. Rhodes post, American Legion, inaugurate a movement to have the Shirley poppy adopted as the Memorial flower of the American Legion. "That the American Legion take steps to assist and urge that every public park, cemetery, and every private garden, in gratitude to the men who made the supreme sacrifice, do, during the coming spring and summer, and every spring and summer thereafter, revere the memory of our soldier dead by setting aside a plot for continued display of waving red poppies. "That a red poppy be worn by every member of the American Legion on Memorial day." It is probable that a similar resolution will be introduced by the post at the next convention of the American Legion, which is to be held in Cleveland, O. Is M. P. in His Home Town. Clyde, Ohio, has elected a member of Orrin G. Franks Post, No. 22, of that city to the office of city marshal. Not every vet. can be an "M. P." in his own town.

A Hoosier by birth, Mr. Creviston enlisted in May, 1917, in Company E of the Fourth Indiana infantry. He served as a private in this company for three months when he was elected as a candidate from his company to the second officers' training corps at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana. Commissioned as a first lieutenant of infantry, he was given complete charge of the administration co-ordination section. On April 5, 1918, he was selected by the committee on education and special training to help in the organization of a vocational training system. In this connection, he was transferred to the inspectors' division and given charge of the states of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, where he established various student army training corps. Upon the completion by the war department of the S. A. T. C. movement, he was transferred to the general staff and put in charge of the ninth district commission on training camp activities, with station in Kansas City, Mo. In this capacity he covered nine states of the Middle West, during which time he was charged with the bettering of conditions within the camps and non-camp cities that bear direct relation to the demobilization period. He was discharged June 7, 1919, and accepted a position with the War Camp Community service. IS COMMANDER OF NEW POST Corporal Bute Presides Over Recently Formed Organization at Walter Reed Hospital. Corporal J. E. Bute was elected commander of the new post of the American Legion recently formed at Walter Reed hospital in Washington, D. C., where about 1,800 sick and wounded men are receiving treatment. Corporal Bute was the addressee of a Christmas greeting, which Franklin D' Olier, national com cently formed at Walter Reed hospital in Washington, D. C., where about 1,800 sick and wounded men are receiving treatment. Corporal Bute was the addressee of a Christmas greeting, which Franklin D' Olier, national com- mander sent to the ex-service men of the country. In a letter recently received by Mr. D'Ollier, Corporal Bale said: "I very much suspect that you will be surprised to know that we have formed a very good post of the Legion here at the hospital. Two hundred and some signed the first night and it is near the four hundred mark now. I expect to have the post 1,800 strong by the first of the month. "You may expect to hear some peculiar resolutions from us, but I am going to ask you to give us credit for wanting to help in any way possible ourselves and our brother comrades who have been back in civilian life for some time." PLAN IS ENDORSED BY LABOR New Jersey Unions and Labor Paper Editor in Favor of Americanism Program. The Charles Henry Post No. 29 (New Brunswick, N. J.) secured the active co-operation of the local unions of the American Federation of Labor in the Americanism program which has been worked out by that post. Members of the post Americanism committee first explained in detail to the editor of the labor paper what their aims and plans were. They asked his help in advancing the cause of good citizenship and he not only publicly gave his editorial support, but offered space in his paper for publicity they wished for their work Members of the committee also went to the heads of various unions, and explained their aims and plans of campaign. The labor leaders, who were all patriotic Americans, were on thusiastic in their support of the legion's plans and at one of the early meetings of all the labor unions the committee presented an outline of the Americanism work, for which the wish to obtain the assistance of the unions.

A CHANCE TO HELP. The greatest opportunity for humanity, and especially our race has arrived. The new Presbyterian Hospital, which is to be built in Denver, opens wide the gate for mercy and relief to all suffering people, regardless of race, religion or color, and we as a people should give most liberally toward this Christian undertaking. There is no race so much in need of good hospital advantages as the colored race, and for many other reasons we should subscribe to our fullest ability. This institution opens its doors to all for the purpose of relieving suffering humanity and it should be the hour for us to grasp this glorious privilege. A few dollars given now may be the means of sparing your life or that of some other fellow more unfortunate than yourself. The BIG DRIVE is on and our colored team is out to make a record run. This now is our one opportunity to help humanity, and we must not fail to make a good showing. The need of another hospital is great and this will be the largest hospital of its kind in the Rocky Mountain region. Therefore THE COLORADO STATESMAN makes this earnest and most urgent appeal to our citizens to rally to this cause and make it possible for all the people to have one hospital, at least, in Denver, where prejudice will not be a bar to the alleviation of pain and suffering humanity. SOCIAL EQUALITY. Social equality is a much misused term and no doubt has been the cause of much harm to the progress of the Negro. As we view it, there is no such thing as social equality in the sense that all must or should belong to, or move in the same social set. Impossible! Because a person seeks and demands a square deal in business or politics, or an equal opportunity in the race of life does not imply that that person desires to be your associate or bed-fellow. Too long has the term "social equality" been used to our disadvantage in the enjoyment of all the rights and privileges guaranteed to us as citizens under our sacred constitution. In the past, whenever any worthy person of color aspired to high things he was met with the objection that he seeks social equality. We have before us a great task in attempting to convince our white friends that it is not social equality—that absurd thing—that we seek, but rather equality of opportunity, equality before the law. In the language of Theodore Roosevelt, "a square deal." Because a colored man buys a beautiful home in the selected residential district of the city is no indication of a desire upon his part of seeking social equality with his white neighbor, no more than could it be said of the white man should he buy a home in a beautiful part of the city principally inhabited by colored citizens. The same rule holds good in politics and in business. Because a Negro seeks to fill a representative office by appointment, or by election, it cannot be held that he seeks social equality. If the American people would begin to practice the great and just principle of "All men up and no man down," the country would be far better off and there would be less violence and friction between the two races. It is the inalienable right of every man and woman to select his or her own associate or social set. We cannot sustain a law that would attempt to select our social associates. That is a matter that is a law unto each man. There are many stratas of society. Even criminals select their own sets or gangs. We often see people who work at the same trade associating together. Why is this so? Because there is a similarity of thought, feeling and environment and the same aspirations. Therefore we must insist that because we, as colored citizens, seek an equal opportunity in the affairs of life we do not desire such an absurdity as SOCIAL EQUALITY. BENEFIT TO BE DERIVED LOST THROUGH THE WHAT MAY BE MORE. No doubt, certainly contend that this time is either general government.

TO PUT OFF, to neglect, to delay, is the common habit and fault, and, we might add, one of the great weaknesses of mankind. It is not only common with colored people, but with the whites also. But at this particular time we wish primarily to speak of our own procrastination at a time when every man and every voter should be on guard and fully armed for the coming battle. How can we do this? By making sure, first, that we are properly registered. A matter that is of paramount importance. A duty that should not be neglected or put off for tomorrow. If a man goes hunting and forgets his powder he will not get much game. Just so with the citizen; if he has neglected to change his registration, or see that he is properly registered, he is a useless and harmless citizen, without a vote to either help elect a good man or defeat a bad man. This is the year of all years that every colored citizen should not forget to register in order to help in electing a genuine 100 per cent American as our next president.

"THE STABILITY OF THIS GOVERNMENT AND THE UNITY OF THIS NATION DEPEND SOLELY UPON THE CORDIAL SUPPORT AND EARNEST LOYALTY OF THE PEOPLE."—U. S. GRANT. A CHANCE TO HELP. THE greatest opportunity for humanity, and especially our race has arrived. The new Presbyterian Hospital, which is to be built in Denver, opens wide the gate for mercy and relief to all suffering people, regardless of race, religion or color, and we as a people should give most liberally toward this Christian undertaking. There is no race so much in need of good hospital advantages as the colored race, and for many other reasons we should subscribe to our fullest ability. This institution opens its doors to all for the purpose of relieving suffering humanity and it should be the hour for us to grasp this glorious privilege. A few dollars given now may be the means of sparing your life or that of some other fellow more unfortunate than yourself. The BIG DRIVE is on and our colored team is out to make a record run. This now is our one opportunity to help humanity, and we must not fail to make a good showing. The need of another hospital is great and this will be the largest hospital of its kind in the Rocky Mountain region. Therefore THE COLORADO STATESMAN makes this earnest and most urgent appeal to our citizens to rally to this cause and make it possible for all the people to have one hospital, at least, in Denver, where prejudice will not be a bar to the alleviation of pain and suffering humanity. SOCIAL EQUALITY. SOCIAL equality is a much misused term and no doubt has been the cause of much harm to the progress of the Negro. As we view it, there is no such thing as social equality in the sense that all must or should belong to, or move in the same social set. Impossible! Because a person seeks and demands a square deal in business or politics, or an equal opportunity in the race of life does not imply that that person desires to be your associate or bed-fellow. Too long has the term "social equality" been used to our disadvantage in the enjoyment of all the rights and privileges guaranteed to us as citizens under our sacred constitution. In the past, whenever any worthy person of color aspired to high things he was met with the objection that he seeks social equality. We have before us a great task in attempting to convince our white friends that it is not social equality—that absurd thing—that we seek, but rather equality of opportunity, equality before the law. In the language of Theodore Roosevelt, "a square deal." Because a colored man buys a beautiful home in the selected residential district of the city is no indication of a desire upon his part of seeking social equality with his white neighbor, no more than could it be said of the white man should he buy a home in a beautiful part of the city principally inhabited by colored citizens. The same rule holds good in politics and in business. Because a Negro seeks to fill a representative office by appointment, or by election, it cannot be held that he seeks social equality. If the American people would begin to practice the great and just principle of "All men up and no man down," the country would be far better off and there would be less violence and friction between the two races. It is the inalienable right of every man and woman to select his or her own associate or social set. We cannot sustain a law that would attempt to select our social associates. That is a matter that is a law unto each man. There are many stratas of society. Even criminals select their own sets or gangs. We often see people who work at the same trade associating together. Why is this so? Because there is a similarity of thought, feeling and environment and the same aspirations. Therefore we must insist that because we, as colored citizens, seek an equal opportunity in the affairs of life we do not desire such an absurdity as SOCIAL EQUALITY. POLITICAL PROCRASTINATION. TO PUT OFF, to neglect, to delay, is the common habit and fault, and, we might add, one of the great weaknesses of mankind. It is 'not only common with colored people, but with the whites also. But at this particular time we wish primarily to speak of our own procrastination at a time when every man and every voter should be on guard and fully armed for the coming battle. How can we do this? By making sure, first, that we are properly registered. A matter that is of paramount importance. A duty that should not be neglected or put off for tomorrow. If a man goes hunting and forgets his powder he will not get much game. Just so with the citizen; if he has neglected to change his registration, or see that he is properly registered, he is a useless and harmless citizen, without a vote to either help elect a good man or defeat a bad man. This is the year of all years that every colored citizen should not forget to register in order to help in electing a genuine 100 per cent American as our next president. Our country today is in great turmoil. Strikes, riots and murders on every hand. The country needs the steady hand and far-seeing statesmanship of a Lincoln to steer her safely to port through the terrific storm of the re-construction period. The crisis of the nation is at hand, and the great ship of state has been rocking and dipping water for the past four years until we are almost panic-stricken with fear lest we are capsized and lose at sea. The call has been sounded and all good men and true men must nothing be undone upon their part that will help to restore the nation to its former equilibrium. This is not the time to play with experiments, nor to be swayed with radical fanaticisms. The evil forces of destruction are busy and abou with the most active propaganda ever known in the history of the country. Everything seems shaky and uncertain, but we must stand stead; with eyes to the front and take firm hold on the dragon of greed and profiteering that is causing so much unrest and discontent among the masses. Uncle Sam and the States Should Join in Americanizing by Education. Uncle Sam and the States Should Join in Americanizing by Education. By SENATOR PHIPPS of Colorado. Speech in Congress. One of our present problems, which should properly be termed a duty, is to make suitable provisions for the education of the 8,500,000 people in this country, over 10 years of age, who are unable to read, write, or speak English. Undoubtedly this duty rests primarily upon the individual states, which are supposed to provide the necessary facilities for the education of all of their inhabitants. PETER H. BURGESS Were we to leave this problem of Americanization to the several states for solution, it would, no doubt, eventually be solved, although the greater part of the benefit to be derived by the people, the states, and the nation would be best through the lapse of time necessary to accomplish by separate effort that may be more quickly and better done through concerted action. No doubt, critics will raise a cry of paternalism. Can they successfully contend that the federal supervision and expenditure proposed at this time is either unwise, unjustifiable, or will prove unprofitable to the general government? It has seemed to your committee that the federal government should take the initiative in this movement; that through its proper bureau it would systematize the plan of action and arrange for co-ordination and co-operation by the states; that it should be willing to appropriate one dollar for each dollar expended by the states. The bulk of taxation, both state and national, is derived from real state and other tangible property, or from operations of business; and these interests are the ones which will benefit most through the operations of the proposed measure, it would seem wise to rely upon general taxation for the proposed education rather than to assess its cost upon those who will receive the instruction themselves. No population can become homogeneous unless and until its people break the same language and the attainment of such a condition in our country will be well worth whatever it may cost. benefit to be derived by the people, the states, and the nation would be lost through the lapse of time necessary to accomplish by separate effort what may be more quickly and better done through concerted action.

One-Room-and-Kitchenette Apartment Ruins Morals in the Big Cities. One-Room-and-Kitchenette Apartment Ruins Morals in the Big Cities. By DR. R. S. COPELAND, New York Health Department. The one-room-and-kitchenette apartment has demoralized New York city. Because of such living quarters, this city is suffering from increased number of divorces; diminished family life and relationship; lazy and shifftless women; increased immorality. And what is true of New York true also of every big city in the United States. It does more than increase the cost of living. It makes possible a liftless, irresponsible existence for wives, by taking from them their natural occupation of home-making. For who could make a home in one room where the bed folds into a library table and the dresser is concealed under the Morris chair? You remember the old bit of wisdom about idle hands and Satan? It folds good there. A large percentage of the pitifiable moths, some with their wings singed and broken, that you see fluttering round the lights of broadway, are these idle wives. As for the families—children in such a home are quite impossible. As a result of detached marital association, comes ever increasing morality, despite efforts of churches, ethical societies and welfare organizations.

"I Urge the Next Great Moral Reform: Single Standard of Morality." "I Urge the Next Great Moral Reform: Single Standard of Morality." By W. J. BRYAN, Nebraska Constitutional Convention Speech. I would like to see the State of Nebraska raise here the banner of the next great moral reform by writing into the constitution the single standard of morality. All legislation rests upon a theory and that theory should be stated in the constitution. You necessarily indorse the single standard of the double standard. I urge the indorsement of the single standard—no segregation of man; no licensing of vice; the penalties for immorality enforced impartially against the two sexes. That, my friends, I believe is to be the next great moral reform, and I would like to see Nebraska lead the fight. The women are here; their consciences will be with us; their influence will help us. How dare we longer discriminate against woman and give to an immoral man a respectability that we deny to her? They will stand side by side before the judgment bar of God, and, if they must stand side by side there, we should not give one of them an advantage over the other in the tribunals which man creates.

Salvation of Nation Today Lies in Revival of Joy of Production. Salvation of Nation Today Lies in Revival of Joy of Production. By ROGER W. BABSON, Efficiency Expert. By nature man likes to produce. Our boy as soon as he can totter out of the door starts instinctively to make a mud pie. When he gets a little older he goes out in the back yard and gets some boards together and some shingles and some paper and builds a hut. Just as soon as he gets a knife do you have to show him how to use it? No. He instinctively begins to make a boat or an arrow. Why? Because in his soul is a natural and inborn desire to produce, and a love and a joy in production. The salvation of our country today depends on discovering something which will revive in man that desire to produce and that joy in production which he had instinctively when he was a small boy. Increased wages will not do it. Shorter hours will not do it. The wage workers must feel right and the employer must feel right.

The reason that some people are not successful with collective bargaining and profit sharing and all these other plans is because they think that men act according to what they say, or according to what they learn, or according to what they agree to. Men act according to their feelings. PRIVATE CARS TO NATIONAL WOMEN'S CONVENTION IN TUSKEGEE CHEYENNE, WYO. NEWS PRIVATE CARS TO NA- (By Clarence J. Toliver.) The so-called high cost of living will not descend. The cost of living will go higher. Then will come the famine. After the famine the nations of the earth will return to their first work. The world war is partly the cause of high prices; the cost of living would have been high if there had been no war. During these times and the period through which we are passing the war is the scapegoat for all the misfortunes of man. During a score of years before the world's war men have come from the farms, drifted into the cities and work in the industries. The automobile industry has taken millions of men; the shipbuilding and other industries have also taken a heavy toll from the soil, leaving few to till the land. Tens of thousands came from the fields to gain a higher wage in the cities, only to learn the higher the wage the higher the cost of living. These toilers in our cities must be supported by the products of the soil. Shortage of farm labor and the neglect to cultivate millions of acres has caused a food shortage and high prices. Nor is this all. In a few years will come famine. The nations of the earth must then return to the first work. The governments of nations cannot force the people to this first work. To the Members of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs: Dear Co-Workers: Plans are about completed for transportation to Tuskegee to our convention July 12-16. We are hoping to have 1,000 women in session at this meeting and have made it possible for you to get there with all convenience and comfort. Private cars will leave from New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Chicago and Pittsburgh. These cars will be kept in Tuskegee during the session. The committee consists of: For New York, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, 521 Michigan avenue, Buffalo, N. Y.; for Ohio, Miss Anna V. Hughes, 298 N. Twenty-second street, Columbus, Ohio; for Illinois, Mrs. Irene Goins, 2942 Pralrie avenue, Chicago, Ill., and Mrs. L. E. Jameson, 922 Monson street, Peoria, Ill.; for Philadelphia, Mrs. Ruth L. Bennett, 1614 W. Second street, Chester, Pa.; for Louisville, Mrs. Georgia A. Nugent, 845 S. Sixth street, Louisville, Ky.; for St. Louis, Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley, 209 N. Jefferson avenue, St. Louis, Mo.; for New England, Miss Roberta J. Dunbar, 58 Winter street, Providence, R. L.; for Baltimore, Miss Ida R. Cummings, 1234 Druid Hill avenue, Baltimore, Md.; for Washington, D. C., Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Lincoln Heights, Washington, D. C. The church of the civilized nations will come to the rescue of the world, and after years of famine the earth will flourish. The Bible is God's gift to man for his government. The nations will have a spiritual awakening, a fair percentage of God's church will return to the first work and there will be food for all. Genesis I, 29: "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." This first work is the care of the seed, the planting and the harvesting. All are left undone and the workers are allowing the earth to go untilled. Now should come the command from the church, Revelation II, 5: "Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen and repent and do the first works, or else I will come unto thee quickly and I will remove the candlestick out of his place, except thou repent." The following are the approximate rates for the return trip, including railroad fare, Pullman charge and taxes; these rates are subject to a little change as railroad conditions are unsettled at this time. Sufficient notice will be given of any change in rates. From Louisville, $33; from Pittsburgh, $70; from Chicago, $59.22; from St. Louis, $51.18; from New York, $73.90; from Philadelphia, $68.50; from Washington, $59. The members and friends of the Second Baptist church introduced a comic dialogue, "Mandy in the Cabbage Patch," to a large audience on Friday eve. Local artists interested the audience with songs and recitations. Mesdames Anna Dickerson, Mattie Crawley, Ida Anderson, McMickens and others are complimented for their social qualities in this church work. Miss Nora Brown entertained a large number of playmates, the event being her thirteenth birthday. Nora is the daughter of Mrs. Corine Mitchell. All other points can estimate their rates by comparison with their point nearest them mentioned above. Further information can be secured from any of the committee. 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. Anna Clinton entertained her playmates on her sixth birthday. The children report Nora and Anna to be some hostesses. Mr. Sam Butler, a former Cheyenne citizen, has returned to our city. Mr Butler is employed by the International Harvester Co. Mr. Al Palmer was the Sunday dinner guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence J. Toliver. PACIFIC GROVE ITEMS. The services at the First Baptist, Pacific Grove, Calif., as follows: Any further information can be secured from the national chairman on transportation, Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkin, 2519 Webster avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. The sun came out in all its glory to help give honor to the resurrection of our Savior. An Easter program was rendered by the Sunday school children, which proved to be a grand success. An Easter offering was taken amounting to $25.50. The attendance was very large, and many visitors present. Kindhearted Farmers One day a city cousin came to the farm and when she saw the windmill said: "Oh, see how good the farmers are to the pigs; they have electric fans to keep them cool." Mrs. McAryo's little daughter has been very sick for several days with pneumonia, but is much improved at this writing.

Purse Overflowing With Fees From Corporations From Every Direction. Dover, Del.—Most states are poverty-stricken by the high cost of government. But not Delaware! As a financier Delaware has Wall street leaten 40 ways. This state taps the purses of people in the other states! Wherefore $1,500,000 excess funds now lie in the state treasury—the most money Delaware ever had. The easy income is derived from issuing charters to corporations. Delaware has "board laws." You can take out a charter for a corporation dealing in anything from yellow gold to blue sky. Hundreds of corporations all over the country are chartered under Delaware laws. Pay Delaware a charter fee, send your attorney around once a year to hold an "annual meeting," pay your yearly charter tax regularly—that's all there is to do. Stock doesn't even have to be paid for, only subscribed. The state has good as well as spurious corporations. The General Motors company last year paid Delaware a fee of more than $200,000 when it increased its capitalization, because it was chartered here. There's so much money in the state treasury the legislature at its coming session will transfer $500,000 to the school fund, enabling counties to keep Last Influenza Epidemic Cost $5,000,000 Insurance The influenza-pneumonia epidemic, now virtually ended, has cost the life insurance companies of the United States about $5,000,000, according to an estimate made by an official of one of the big eastern companies. This figure is about one-quarter of the insurance paid out to influenza and pneumonia victims during the epidemic of 1918-19, he said. Salmon in Washington Depleted by Foreigners. State Fisheries Commission Urges That They Be Barred From State Waters. Olympia, Wash.—Washington's salmon industry, once among the leaders in the state's activities, has been almost depleted by the intensive fishing of the last six years, L. H. Darwin, state fish commissioner, declared in his annual report filed with Gov. Louis F. Hart. Creation by the legislature of a fisheries commission to take full charge of fishing operations in Washington waters was recommended by Mr. Darwin. He urged that foreigners be barred from fishing in the state waters, because he said, the destruction, in a large part has been accomplished by ALIENS LEAVE BY WHOLESALE DESTROYER AT ANCHOR AT NATCHEZ U.S. NAVY DISTRICT OLDSTOCK & SPORTS Airplane view snowing an American destroyer at anchor at the town of Natchez, Miss., on the Mississippi river.

CAUSE OF LABOR SHORTAGE Difficulties of Traveling in Europe and Danger of Losing Their Money Has No Influence on Aliens Eager to Return. New York.—Wholesale re-emigration of aliens in America began last April and is continuing in ever growing numbers. Steamship ticket agents agree that 6,000 are leaving for Europe weekly, although the immigration is confined to Italians and Belgians. I have been in contact with a great number of alien laborers in the United States since my return from Europe in January and I find that a great percentage of them are preparing to leave the states, writes Joseph Szehenyi in the New York Times. Among the Hungarians and those coming from the newly formed states in eastern Europe, 50 per cent are about to return to the old country. The resultant labor shortage especially is being felt already, and employers of alien labor are forced to advertise continually in order to replace the hands leaving week after week. They are spending thousands of dollars on advertisements in Slovak and Hungarian papers. Mining companies especially prefer Hungarian workers because they are steady and hard workers, doing jobs no others WARE RICH the school tax rate under 50 cents per $100 Fifty thousand dollars a mile is being spent for 250 miles of concrete highways. The state will soon have 600 fireproof schools. Delaware does not tax property the rest of the United States keeps her rich. STAKE NEW DIAMOND CLAIMS Adventurers Start Rush in the Pretoria District of South Africa Mines. Johannesburg.—A rush of diamond seekers to stake claims is reopted from Beyenspoort, in the Pretoria district, where rich deposits are said to have been located. Two thousand men, including lawyers, civil servants, business men, land owners, artisans and clerks, took part and the whole ground was pegged out in a few minutes. Some of the more corpulent employed professional runners to secure the claims previously selected, says a news agency dispatch received here. DESTROYER AT AN Airplane view snowing an American Natchez, Miss., on the Mississippi river flying boat. RY IS RUINED persons not citizens of the United States. During the war, he said, foreign fishermen banded themselves together, took the lead in the industry and increased the prices. Sockeye salmon runs of the Puget sound have almost been wiped out by the heavy fishing, the report stated. The silverside and chum or dog salmon have also been reduced in numbers. The humpback salmon runs probably will be attacked by the fishermen next and, in a few years, the commissioner predicted, they, too, probably will be depleted. Columbia river, Grays harbor and Willapa harbor waters of Washington have not suffered to the extent of Puget sound, Mr. Darwin said, largely because of the greatly increased hatchery work. But as the fishermen are beginning to take immature salmon and are preventing the fish from reaching their spawning grounds, it is probable these waters will suffer more in the near future.

The desire of mothers who cannot support their babies to assure a good home for them rather than trust to the comparative uncertainty of an institution, has been evidenced through several instances of babies being "auctioned off," in some cases even before birth. People adopting babies generally want them extremely young. Girls appear to have a slightly better chance than boys of obtaining parents. New York reported 22,500 births this year, compared with 21,165 last year. Foster parents usually prefer girl babies one year of age or under.

Swiss Afraid They Are to Be "Cosmopolitanized" Swiss Afraid They Are to Be "Cosmopolitanized" FOREIGN advices state that Switzerland is today putting up the greatest fight of her life to save herself from being "cosmopolitanized." Never since the day that William Tell shot the apple off his son's head have the FOREIGN advices state that Switzer fight of her life to save herself since the day that William Tell shot Swiss faced a situation in which they felt that their national and individual existence was so threatened as now, and that from a danger that no people, no nation, no race has ever yet faced. For even New York, with its hundreds of thousands of various nationalities, still remains essentially American. But Switzerland is convinced she can hope for no such luck, if she permits herself to be swamped with the waves of people that age now pouring over her borders. waves of people that are now pouring in. While Switzerland is still attracting refugees who for one reason or another states, and even the old ones, that are adjustment, yet by far the principal nation are men of great wealth, usually cape the burden of taxation awaiting in any one of the countries that went to pay off.

In a small country like Switzerland, however, this situation is dangerous. The Swiss see clearly that all of this vast wealth now coming into the country eventually will be invested in Swiss industries. That means all the financial, industrial and economic life of the country will soon be in the hands of foreigners. Are These Boundary Farmers Suckers or Badgers?

This situation was explained to the miscellaneous subjects committee of the Illinois constitutional convention at Springfield, by Elam L. Clarke, delegate from Waukegan.

Peace Treaty Amenities Between Two Secretaries Peace Treaty Amenities Between Two Secretaries THE greeting which George H. Sanderson, secretary of the senate, received at the White House executive offices when he delivered the peace treaty there, could hardly be called cordial. Mr. Sanderson inquired politely for Mr. Tumulty, the president's secretary, and was informed that he was busy. Mr. Sanderson took a seat and waited. After Mr. Tumulty got through giving the newspaper men "the inside" of the president's mind, he leisurely devoted himself to other tasks more important than the reception of the senate's representative. Mr. Sanderson cooled his heels in Mr. Tumulty's outer office for an hour and a quarter. Then an attendant appeared and ushered him into the pres- ence of Mr. Tumulty.

"And this accompanies it," Mr. Sanderson continued, placing before Mr. Tumulty a copy of the senate's resolution formally notifying the president that the treaty had been rejected. "I should like a receipt," said Mr. Sanderson. Mr. Tumulty signed his name to a scrap of paper which read as follows: "Receipt is acknowledged of the treaty of peace with Germany signed at Versailles on June 28, 1919. Time 11:45 a. m." The two secretaries bowed stiffly and Mr. Sanderson and his receipt returned to the senate. Smoking is very common in Japan.

His Position. "I am introducing," began the suave --- would do, and earning in most cases up to $120 a week. The causes of the wholesale reemigration may be found in the following facts: 1. Alien laborers have saved up money during the war, when they were barred from sending it home, and, according to bankers dealing exclusively with them, they have an average of $3,000. If we take what a dollar is worth in eastern Europe, it is easy to comprehend that the worker exchanging his dollars into kronen becomes the richest man in his village, a lure very few could withstand. For $3,000 he gets as much as 750,000 kronen, enough to buy out the richest landlord in his district. 2. Prohibition. 3. The laborer has not seen his family, many have not even heard from them, for six to ten years. 4. The high cost of living in America, Geza D. Berko, managing editor of the Hungarian Daily, who has his finger on the alien movements in America more than any one else, when questioned on the subject said: "The re-emigration is slow because there is not sufficient shipping. There are only five steamers weekly available for eastern Europe at present, and yet 6,000 are leaving by them. Should the sailing facilities improve, and the passport question be simplified, it will grow by leaps and bounds." The manager of Emil Kiss' banking house, the largest ticket agents on the east side, said that they were discouraging re-emigration as much as possible, and explained to applicants the difficulties of travelling in Europe, the danger of their losing their kits and money on the way. "Yet it is impossible to persuade them to stay," the clerks assert, "There are letters from former travelers who say that they have been cheated and robbed of their possessions, arrived home stripped of everything, yet you can't induce them to stay." "Do you discourage exchange of dollars as well?" I asked. "We do, but the constant fall in the exchange makes it difficult. By the time the man arrives home he gets more for his dollars, so he prefers taking it in cash, as most of them are ignorant people who mistrust drafts. Now, in traveling through Europe the victim—for you can't call him by any other name—encounters laws in every country prohibiting the export of dollars. If he lands in France his money is exchanged into francs, in Germany into marks, in Austria or Jugoslavia into kronen, being 10 or more per cent everywhere." Some of the re-emigrants travel through five countries and thus loss 50 per cent of their money on forced exchange. In France there are even graver difficulties, for even the export of French money to exceed 1,000 francs is prohibited. The traveler must get a state permit, a procedure taking sometimes weeks. The whole of Europe is hungry for dollars. JOBLESS, TRIPLETS WELCOME Former Soldier Overjoyed When Stork Raps Thrice at His Little Flat. New York.—The prize optimists of Greater New York were found in a little three-room flat. They are Frank Cangemi, former soldier, and his wife, parents of six children. Three of the children are newly born triplets—all girls—and the reason Mr. and Mrs. Cangemi take all honors for optimism is that despite the fact that he is out of employment they accept their rare gift with deep gratitude and believe themselves lucky. The new babies are Mabel, Catherine and Genevieve, and they have been card-tugged to avoid a mistake. The landlord of the tenement house in which the Cangemis live has agreed to keep the family until fortune smiles on them. Frank can always get enough to buy food and the mother and babies are doing well. He was in Mexico with the Twelfth regiment. WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS His Position.

"Why didn't you buy that bill of goods from me? I could hope saved you the express, and besides you would have been patronizing a home store, which helps pay the taxes and builds up this locality." The farmer looked at the merchant a moment and then said: "Why don't you patronize your home paper and advertisement? I read it end didn't know that you had the stuff I have here." MORAL—ADVERTISE --- RENA Corn Meal Recipes Tested by Federal Specialists. USE CORN MEAL FOR FOUNDATION Several Other Good Ways of Using It Besides Cereal for Breakfast. SOME EXCELLENT RECIPES Dishes Which Were Common Fifty Years Ago Are Worthy of Attention of Present Day Cooks—Protein Lacks Tenacity. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Although corn meal is now used chiefly as a breakfast cereal or in the form of bread, yet there are many other ways of using it to advantage. The particles of corn meal when mixed with water do not tend to stick together and form an elastic dough as wheat flour does. This is because the protein of corn is lacking in tenacity allowing the somewhat granular particles of meal to separate. While this is a disadvantage for some uses, like bread making, it is an advantage in making waffles or griddle cakes, as it renders them very tender. Some recipes for the use of corn meal recommended by the home-economics kitchen of the United States department of agriculture follow: **Corn Meal and Wheat Waffles.** $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups water $1\frac{1}{4}$ tablespoons baking $1\frac{1}{2}$ cup white corn powder meal $1\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoons salt $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups milk Yolks 2 eggs $3$ cups wheat flour Whites 2 eggs $3$ tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons melted butter Cook the meal in boiling water 20 minutes; add milk, dry ingredients mixed and sifted, yolks of eggs well beaten, butter, and whites of eggs Corn Meal Recipes Test beaten off. Cook on greased waffle iron. These waffles are considered by most people better than those made with wheat flour only. This serves six people. Corn Meal Puffs. 1 pint milk 4 eggs 1-3 cup corn meal Grated nutmeg (if 4 tablespoons sugar desired) ½ teaspoon salt Cook the milk and meal together 15 minutes with the salt and sugar. When cool add the eggs well beaten. Bake in cups. Serve with stewed fruit or jam. This serves six people. Cheese Pudding. 1 quart boiling wa- ½ pound yellow corn ter meal 1 tablespoon salt ½ pound cheese ½ cup milk Into the boiling salted water pour the corn meal slowly, stirring constantly, and allow to boll 10 minutes; Alternate Layers of Rice, Okra and Tomatoes and Then Baked Is Excellent. Place a thin layer of rice in a baking dish, add a layer of sliced okra, then a layer of tomatoes; add salt, pepper, a little curry powder, a small lump of butter. Repeat with alternate layers of rice, okra and tomatoes until the dish is filled. Cover and bake in the oven until the rice is thoroughly cooked. Remove, cover and brown on top. Serve in a baking dish. The rice should be washed in cold water before using, and the okra pods and tomatoes washed and sliced rather thinly. KEEP PUMPKINS AND SQUASH Vegetables Must Be Thoroughly Dried and Placed on Shelf, Well Separated. Pumpkins and squashes must be thoroughly dried and ripened to keep well. They should be dried from time to time with a cloth and kept, not on a cellar floor, but on a shelf and well separated from each other. PROFICIENCY IN KITCHEN Arrange your kitchen equipment so that it will give you the most help and take the least work. Choose things easy to clean and care for. Try to locate the stove, sink, work table, and storage places so there will be no unnecessary steps in moving from one to the other. Have good light where you work the most. Adjust sink and work table to the height most comfortable for the person who uses them. Group your utensils so that you can reach them easily. Put those most frequently used in the most convenient places. Small ones may be hung on little hooks fastened to the wall or the edge of a shelf. Group them near the places in which they are most used and put those used together near each other. Get rid of useless things. then add most of the cheese and cook 10 minutes more, or until the cheese is melted. Add one-half cupful of milk and cook a few minutes. Pour into a greased baking dish. Brown in the oven. This dish is improved by grating a little hard cheese over the top just before it is baked. A good supper or lunch dish. This pudding can be cut into slices when cold and fried. This serves four to six people. **Indian Meal Doughnuts.** $\frac{1}{2}$ cup milk 2 eggs well beaten $1\frac{1}{4}$ cups very fine 1 teaspoon cinnamon white corn flour 2 teaspoons baking $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups wheat flour powder $\frac{1}{4}$ cup butter 1 level teaspoon salt $\frac{1}{4}$ cup sugar Put milk and meal into a double boiler and heat together for about 10 minutes. Add the butter and sugar to the meal. Sift together the wheat ed by Federal Specialists. flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add these and the eggs to the meal. Roll out on a well-floured board; cut into the desired shapes; fry in deep fat; drain and roll in powdered sugar. Corn Meal and Fig Pudding. 1 cup corn meal 1 cup finely chopped 1 cup molasses 6 cups milk (or 4 of 2 eggs milk and 2 of 1 teaspoon salt cream) Cook the corn meal with 4 cupfuls of milk, add the molasses, figs, and salt. When the mixture is cold, add the eggs well beaten. Pour into a buttered pudding dish and bake in a moderate oven for 3 hours or more. When partly cooked add the remainder of the milk without stirring the pudding. The whites of the eggs may be saved and used as a meringue for the top. This serves 8 or 10 people. They Should Be Cooked as Soon After Being Gathered as Possible to Hold the Flavor. Cook summer vegetables as soon after they are gathered as possible, in order to preserve the flavor. If they must be kept over, keep in the ice box or some other cool place. Let wilted vegetables soak in cold water to freshen them. If vegetables must stand after paring, cover with cold water to prevent wilting and discoloration. Household Questions Apricots and prunes cooked together are an agreeable change. Coffee grounds have no value whatever and should never be used a second time. Hot pressed water-color paper can be used instead of parchment for candle shades. --- The KITCHEN CABINET A home without a garden spot is not less the ideal home. In this existence, dry and wet Will overtake the best of men— CAKES AND OTHER GOOD THINGS To be a good cake maker, one must have practice, for as with everything that is well done, skill comes by doing. ```markdown ``` Cream Loaf Cake. — Cream one-half cupful of flour with three teaspoonfuls of baking powder and half a cupful of cornstarch. Add one-half cupful of rich milk or thin cream alternately with the flour mixture, beating well, then fold in the whites of the eggs beaten stiff and one teaspoonful of lemon extract. For the icing, boll together seven-eighths of a cupful of sugar with three tablespoonfuls of cold water and one egg white placed over boiling water and beaten seven minutes with a Dover beater. Add a dozen marshmallows if liked and beent until cool. Maple Nut Cake.—Cream one-third of a cupful of shortening with one cupful of light brown sugar, add the yolks of two eggs, one-half cupful of milk, one and one-half cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two eggs, one teaspoonful of vanilla, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt and one cupful of chopped pecans. Blend the mixture as usual, folding in the whites at the last. Cover the top with: Maple icing.—Add one-half teaspoonful of butter to two tablespoonfuls of hot milk, then add one and one-half cupfuls of confectioner's sugar, a little at a time until smooth and of the consistency to spread. Add one-half teaspoonful of maple flavoring and spread over the sides and top of the cake. Nut Bread.—Sift two and one-half cupfuls of flour with three teaspoonfuls of baking powder; add one-fourth teaspoonful of salt. Beat one egg, add one-half cupful of sugar, one cupful of milk with the sifted flour, then stir in three-fourths of a cupful of chopped nuts. Let stand thirty minutes, in the pan in which it is to be baked, then bake in a moderate oven three-quarters of an hour. Graham Gems.—Take one cupful of grham flour, sifted; one cupful of sour milk, one egg, one tablespoonful of soda, a little salt, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and three tablespoonfuls of shortening. Mix and bake in gem pans. Success in housekeeping adds credit to the woman of intellect, and luster to a woman's accomplishments. HOUSEHOLD ECONOMIES. The efficient housekeeper is the one who notices the little things, which "most leave undone or despise," for the small things which fill such a large place in life are much more important than the occasional big most leave undone or despise," for the small things which fill such a large place in life are much more important than the occasional big thing. In the preparation of vegetables and fruit there is a great waste. The careful peeling of potatoes will save a great amount of food in a few months. Potatoes may be cooked in their jackets for many dishes, saving the time in preparing and waste in peeling. Keeping the paring and carving knives well sharpened is an economy, for no matter how expert, there will be waste in using a dull tool. When using a gas stove, the broiler, if it is the oven burner, can be used while the oven is working, saving gas and getting its full value. In many cases the oven burners may be turned off five to ten minutes before the food is to be removed. Crackers will keep crisp for a long time if kept tightly covered away from the air. If at all stale, by placing them in a hot oven to crisp they will be quite as good as if fresh. A dessert that may be prepared while one is getting breakfast will appeal to the average cook. Such a dessert is junket. Take one junket tablet, crush it and dissolve in a tablespoonful of water. For a quart of milk one tablet is sufficient; take half a tablet for a pint of milk, which will make four sherbet cups of dessert. Sweeten and flavor to taste; stir in the dissolved tablet and let the glasses stand in a warm room to set before cooling. The milk should be heated to justukewarm before the dissolved tablet is added. Hotter than that will spoil the junket and it will not thicken. Serve with cream, chopped nuts, grated maple sugar, candied or preserved ginger or any fruit. Tea and coffee should never be left in open receptacles or paper bags, but should be carefully sealed in airtight cans or jars. The oil mops for the bare floors, the dustless dusters, all help to make the cleaning of a room much easier than the old methods of broom and hard sweeping, besides saving the stirring up of clouds of dust. A vacuum cleaner cleans rugs, furiture, curtains and mattresses, thus doing away with much hard work.

Put enough highly seasoned tomato sauce in individual baking dishes, then drop in an egg, sprinkle with pepper and salt, add enough of the Eggs in Tomato Sauce. Put enough highly seasoned tomato sauce in individual baking dishes, then drop in an egg, sprinkle with pepper and salt, add enough of the sauce to just cover, then place the dishes in water. Cook in a moderate oven until the eggs are set. Egg Puff. Beat the yolks and whites of four eggs separately. Add to the yolks one-half teaspoonful of baking powder, one tablespoonful of grated cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Then add one cupful of milk and pour into a well-greased omelette pan. When partly cooked spread with the stiffly beaten whites, dash over with paprika and place in the oven to brown. Spanish Eggs. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter and fry two large onions until tender, covering while cooking. Blend two tablespoonfuls of flour with one and one-half cupfuls of milk; stir until a smooth sauce is formed. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cut four hard-cooked eggs in quarters and cook ten minutes in the thickened sauce. Serve hot on crisp toast well buttered. Garnish with parsley. Macaroni and Eggs.—Cook a cupful of macaroni until tender. Place a layer of the cooked macaroni in a baking dish, add two sliced hard-cooked eggs, or better, cut in eighths; a half cupful of rich white sauce with a little onion juice for flavor, a half teaspoonful of anchovy paste. Repeat the macaroni, another half cupful of white sauce and two more eggs. Cover with buttered crumbs and brown in a moderate oven. Egg Sauce.—Beat one egg very light, pcr over it one cupful of sugar; when well blended add half a cupful of boiling milk; stir until well dissolved, then add a teaspoonful of vanilla. Apples are delicious cut in quarters after peeling and placed in a casserole or bean pot to bake. Add sugar after the apples are soft. They will be rich, brown and delicious in flavor. Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous, half possession.—Emerson. EVERYDAY FOOD For those who are fond of sauerkraut, the following dish is a most appetizing one: Spareribs With Sauerkraut.—Cet as meaty spareribs as possible and roll them around a quart of sauerkraut; place in a covered roaster and roast for an hour. Remove the cover and brown the meat. Season Spareribs With Sauer-kraut.—Cet as meaty spareribs as possible and roll them around a quart of sauerkraut; place in a covered roaster and roast for an hour. Remove the cover and brown the meat. Season the meat well before adding the sauerkraut. Serve in the roll with the kraut inside, cutting the ribs and a portion of the kraut for each serving. The dish is especially well flavored, but must be cooked an hour and a half or two hours to bring out the flavor. Side-Pork With Baked Potatoes.—Have the pork cut in half-inch slices, roll in seasoned flour and fry until crisp and brown on both sides. To two tablespoonfuls of the fat add two tablespoonfuls of flour. When well blended add milk and cook until smooth and of the right consistency. Serve the meat on a hot platter, the gravy in a gravy boat. Potatoes, if slashed with a knife and pressed lightly when taken from the oven, will be more mealy and palatable. Hamburger Steak.—Get the round and chop it if possible until fine; the meat will be much more delicious than that which is ground and crushed. Season well and make into a flat cake an inch and a half to two inches thick. Place on a well-greased hot broiler over coals or under the gas flame and cook as usual eight to ten minutes for rare-done steak, turning every two or three minutes after it is seared on both sides. If desired better done cook twelve to fifteen minutes, or well done, twenty minutes. Cherry Pudding.—Take a cupful of flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder, a dash of salt and half a cupful of milk; mix well and drop a spoonful into the bottom of well-buttered custard cups. Add a tablespoonful or two of the dough mixture leaving space to rise in the cups. Set the cups into a pan, pour in boiling water to come up well on the sides of the cups, cover and steam fifteen minutes. Serve unmolded with sugar and cream. A. HASER, Prop.

APPROVED WRAPS :-- FOR SUMMER -:- THE FASHION WEEK FOR THE YOUNGER GIRLS THE FASHION OF THE YEAR --- COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West SUMMER time will see some of the most beautiful wraps that have ever been made under the inspiration of its sunny skies. Designers must be dreaming of it when they begin, in the heart of winter, to fashion cloaks and coats to be used months afterward, but destined to have their first airings at the fashionable winter resorts. The styles favored by women of trained judgment, are promoted, and they become the fashions of the summer season. A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. Among the tuffeta wraps there are such masterpieces of superb designing as that which compels our homage in the garment shown in the picture. You must imagine it in peacock blue silk, with wide black satin ribbon having a line of gold along the edges, outlining the sleeves and simulating FOR THE YOU THE COLORADO STATESMAN Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. THE outstanding excellence of children's clothes for spring lies mostly in their simplicity and their neatness, and neatness in children's apparel is another name for smartness. Leaving furbelows to party frocks, designers have taken blue serge, plaid woolens and many substantial cotton goods and turned them into enchanting things for little girls to spend their days in. TWODOLLARSAYEAR For the younger girls serge dresses with bloomers to match or with bloomers of plaid material leave nothing to be desired in dresses for everyday wear. Detachable white collars and cuffs of linen or heavy cottonts or flannel, start the little maid off in the morning properly freshened up for school. When the weather is warm a pretty chambray or gingham dress replaces serge for daily wear. The care and the success with which they have been designed is convincingly shown in the box-plaited school dress of chambray pictured above at the right. a deep yoke that reaches to the waistline in front. The skirt of the coat is cut in long pointed panels that overlap, and there is a large and very becoming collar with silk cord and tassel in the color of the cloak that ties about it. Huge, embroidered roses, set in leaves cut from black satin and outlined with gold thread, make a decoration that measures up to the excellence of the design. They are placed at each side on a panel and at the waistline on one side. Another wrap of taffeta has a deep yoke with a full cape gathered to it under a band of embroidery. Black taffeta was chosen for this cape with embroidery in sapphire blue and blue satin lining. It was shorter than the wrap pictured. UNGER GIRLS It is a one-piece dress with plain body, elbow sleeves and box-plaited skirt. It is fitted with a deep vestee and white collar and cuffs, these edged with a very narrow braid or lace that look like tatting. The plain belt, with flat pockets set over it at the sides, is made of the chambray. But school and play do not fill all the time and small girls must sometimes be daintily dressed for other affairs—as visits and parties. They have been provided for with frocks of pretty cotton goods, like organdle or dimity or lawn. Plain organdle in yellow with collar, pockets and sash of white organdle are displayed in one of these dress-up frocks as pictured above. It is as dainty as can be and has a hat of white organdle to match. Jusha Bottomly J. R. CONTEE, Pres. and Mgr.
