CHICAGO. — Senator Warren G. Harding's conception of the duty of the federal government to the loyal colored citizenship of the country, embodied in his speech accepting the Republican nomination for president, at Marion, Ohio, July 22, has overshadowed all other issues in the minds of colored Americans. With characteristic concentration Senator Harding interpreted the fondest hopes and desires of the colored people, proceeded directly to a policy that would bring about their consummation, and drove home and clinched an essential truth which has been tugging for years at the just American heart; which has been denied by "lesser breeds without the law," and relentlessly striven for by the law-abiding, ambitious and progressive colored man.
Senator Harding, in full sympathy with the race, did not do the commonplace thing; just simply condemn lynching. Everybody does that. We firmly believe that those who engage in the disgraceful practice, condemn it. The candidate for president found a remedy for it. He said: "I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America."
From this unequivocal stand the colored people of the country have taken heart, and the hope and faith spring eternal that with the election of Harding there will be a new era of opportunity and endeavor open to the race. There was no soft pedal employed by the statement made by Senator Harding, who went even further and said: "I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands." It has been more than a score of years since such generous words of encouragement have been given out by a candidate for president and this speech is being enthusiastically re-ceived by the colored leaders all over the country, and their commendation of the candidate who has evinced the courage to go on record is unanimous.
Among colored people, quite as keen as the average American upon all issues affecting the country, the League of Nations and other questions, both national and international in which the country is embroiled, have been forced into the background in the face of a new dawn of racial justice, which Sen-
ator Harding promises to America by interposing the strong arm of the federal government to put an end to the curse of lynching, which is a blot upon our national escutcheon.
While it has been the rule among colored people to look upon the Republican party as their champion, the position assumed by Senator Harding is a long way in advance of anything that has been said or done in years.
Col. Franklin A. Denison, late of the Eighth Illinois Regiment, and present assistant attorney-general of that state, commenting upon the attitude of the Republican candidate for president, said: "Whatever the colored man gets in the way of recognition or encouragement comes from the Republican party, but Senator Harding has gone all previous aspirants to the presidency one better by holding out a tangible solution of the questions that are held as a sword of Damocles over his head. That word of Harding's that the federal government should get after lynchers will make many a criminal against the life and constitutional rights of the colored man tremble in his boots.
"Every colored man and woman who votes should vote for Harding and Coolidge, and every white man who believes in the supremacy of the law and an even justice to all men should do so, too."

The outstanding attractions, however, were the violin and piano sonata, in C major, by Harvey Hebron, played very sympathetically by Edwin Hill, Jr., and Carl Diton, and the singing of Marian Anderson, who will be the first beneficiary of the scholarship fund now being raised.
The New York branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians had charge of the arrangements for the convention and performed their task with perfect satisfaction to all. The next meeting will take place at Nashville, Tenn., which, judging from the invitations extended by the schools and business corporations of that city, promises to be the best meeting yet held.
CHEYENNE, WYO, NEWS
CHEYENNE society matrons strive for supremacy to honor distinguished men and women who visit our city. This fact was evident during the recent visit of Mrs. Virginia Elliott, a prominent lady of Kansas City, Kan. Mrs. Elliott is principal of the Graystone School at Kansas City, Kan. During her visit here she was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Jefferson. Mrs. Elliott is a beautiful woman, has sweet disposition, intelligent and a lovely character. She has made a host of friends in Cheyenne, who regret her departure. Following are some of the festivals of which Mrs. Elliott was the inspiration. Mr. and Mrs. Reuben J. Smith entertained at a delightful 6 o'clock dinner on Monday, August 2nd, complimentary to Mrs. Virginia Elliott. Mrs. Smith served an excellent four-course dinner. Covers were laid for Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Jefferson, Mrs. Rosa Boyd of Denver, Mrs. Elliott and her son, Master James Elliott, and Mr. Reuben J. Smith. Mrs. Smith proved to be an excellent entertainer. The cuisine was delicious. All report a fine time. On Thursday, August 5th, Mrs. Marie Cooper entertained from 8 p. m. to 11. Mrs. Elliott was the guest of the evening. The home was beautifully decorated with flowers. The evening was spent in checkers and other games. Mr. Reuben J. Smith won the checker contest. Mrs. Cooper served a delightful repast, and at a late hour the guests departed, declaring her an ideal hostess. It was on Wednesday evening, August 4th, when Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Jefferson invited forty-one guests to meet Mrs. Elliott. Each guest wore his favorite flower. With beautiful ladies, handsome men and flowers, one was reminded of Eden. Mrs. Elliott read a paper on flowers, which was highly pleasing and interesting, as well as instructive. A response was made to Mrs. Elliott's paper by Clarence J. Toliver, Mr. Toliver's response was brief, as he loves flowers too dearly to express his admiration, but he vowed the honored guest to be the fairest flower in the garden, excepting one. A number of innocent games were played and after a two-course lunch the guests departed with love and best wishes to the host, hostess and honored guest. On Friday, August 6th, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Randall invited a number of selected friends in honor of Mrs. Virginia Elliott. Their beautiful home was made more attractive by sweet peas and nasturtiums sitting about in vases. Different parlor games were played and prizes were won by Mrs. Spencer Cave and Miss Anna Johnson. Mrs. Randall is an expert in the art of cuisine and she certainly tickled the palates

of her guests with a very dainty luncheon. The evening spent with Mrs. Randall will be long remembered. On Sunday morning, August 8th, Mrs. Wm. Redd and Mrs. H. Turner entertained a breakfast party at Round Top, five miles from the city. Mrs. Elliott was the honored guest. The party of fourteen maids and matrons left the city at 7 a. m. and in a short while automobiles landed them in a beautiful valley under a large tree, where the breakfast was spread. The menu consisted of cantaloupes, fried chicken, hot coffee, tomatoes, pimento cheese sandwiches, corn and butter-cream doughnuts. After the breakfast kodak pictures were taken of the party. They returned to Cheyenne at 10 a. m. Mrs. Redd is noted for her originality, and this, indeed, was a very novel and enjoyable outing. On Thursday, August 12th, Mrs. Virginia Elliott and her son, James, departed our city for their home in Kansas City, Kan. Mrs. H. C. Jefferson accompanied Mrs. Elliott as far as Denver.
Thursday afternoon, August 5th, Mrs. Daisy Thompson invited the Searchlight ladies to her home in honor of her mother, Mrs. Martin, who stopped over en route to Montana. The ladies spent a very pleasant afternoon chatting. Mrs. Thompson served a nice repast. The out-of-town guests were Mrs. Rosa Boyd of Denver and Mrs. Virginia Elliott of Kansas City, Kan.
Oh, yes! Mrs. Albert Taylor entertained at her home in Taylorsville with a five-course dinner on Tuesday, August 3rd. Mrs. Virginia Elliott was the guest of honor. Covers were laid for Mesdames Elliott, H. C. Jefferson, Witt, the hostess and Master James Elliott. The dinner consisted of many delicacies of the season and was served in excellent style. After dinner the ladies spent the afternoon sewing and crocheting. The day was indeed an enjoyable one.

The grand jury declared in its final report that Isaac McGhie, one of the Negroes hanged, had no part in the attack on the girl. Evidence brought before it convinced the grand jury, the report said, that McGhie was only held by the police as an important witness.

MISS HALLIE Q.
BROWN FOR HARDING
Famous Colored Woman Misquoted by Southern Newspapers and Associated Press in Interview.
Chicago, Aug. 12.—Recently hundreds of southern newspapers and as many Democratic publications in the north carried an interview purporting to come from Miss Hallie Q. Brown, president of the National Association of Colored Women, professor at Wilberforce University, brilliant teacher of expression and famous woman, in which she is reported to have said that the "Republican party has been asked for a plank in its platform and has given a splinter."
In a letter addressed to Phil H. Brown, publicity director of the Republican National committee, Miss Brown repudiates the interview as a sample of Democratic duplicity, and announces that she is doing everything in her power to elect Senator Harding to the presidency.
"Dreadfully Misquoted."
"I have never had any doubts of our Republican party," writes Miss Brown. "I was dreadfully misquoted by those southern papers. They did not print what I said about the Democratic party, and that I was returning home to work for Harding."
The Democratic party offers the colored people absolutely nothing. Its activities are all invested to take from them every civic right and privilege they secured under the Republican party, yet its papers do not hesitate to stoop even to a point where they misquote a woman in their zeal to create any sort of dissatisfaction in the Republican party.
Miss Brown is a sister of the late Jere A. Brown, of Cleveland, one of the pioneer members of the Ohio legislature and a great friend of Senator Harding and William McKinley. It is understood that the famous elocutionist will have a big part in the work of organization among the colored women of the country. This was practically arranged for soon after the National convention had adjourned in June.

Farmers in the vicinity of Ault, Eaton, Nunn and Dover say that about 75 per cent of the total crops were destroyed, most of the damage being done to the wheat crop, which was only half harvested.

How Superstitions Arose.
The Friday superstition arose because the confixion is supposed to have taken place on that day. Some persons think it is unlucky to spill salt, because Judas Iscariot seems to be spilling it in Da Vinci's picture. Others think that it is because salt is a symbol of incorruptibility, and spilling it is, therefore, a sign of broken friendships and general upsets.

SUIT TO COMPEL PROCLAMATION OF PEACE
WASHINGTON. — Suit to compel Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby to promulgate immediately the joint resolution of congress declaring the state of war with Germany at an end has been filed in the district Supreme court in Washington by Harry S. Mecartney, a Chicago lawyer. The suit was based on the ground that the president has no veto power over a joint resolution of congress.
Recently Mecartney mailed a printed pamphlet to the members of the executive committee of the American Bar association suggesting that the committee tender to the country at large its service in making up a "case stated" for the justices of the Supreme court, asking an advisory opin-
WORKING on the principle that no one can do efficient work unless he receives a living wage, officials of the National Federation of Federal Employees has opened a nation-wide drive for a re-classification of the entire ctlv service and a minimum wage of $3 a day. To bring concerted pressure upon congress this fall, an attempt will be made to organize every federal employee and increase the membership to 100,000. This action follows a meeting here of the executive council, at which plans were made for a campaign to secure better employment conditions for all federal government employees.
Charles F. Nagl, custodian of the federal building in Chicago and vice president of the federation, has been placed in charge of organizing the central west. In his territory there are already 25 local unions of federal employees affiliated with the national federation.
"What we want," said Mr. Nagl, "is a square deal. We have not had it. More than one-half of the men and women I employ receive less than $3 a day. They have to do outside work to make a living.
"I want a re-classification in the whole civil service with a minimum high enough that an employee can
GOOD ROADS
REGARDLESS of which party wins in the presidential election this fall, American motorists are congratulating themselves that highway development will be continued. In their platforms both the Republican and Democratic parties have placed themselves flatly on record as favoring federal appropriations to assist in good roads work.
The Republican party's good roads plank said:
"We favor liberal appropriations in co-operation with the states for the construction of the highways, which will bring about a reduction in transportation costs, better marketing of farm products, improvement in rural postal delivery, as well as meet the needs of military defense."
THE Joseph A. Holmes Safety association, the hero commission for the mining industry, has announced the awards of gold medals to miners for special deeds of bravery in the saving of human life during the last three years in the United States. It is expected that the formal award of the medals will be made by Dr. Frederick G. Cottrell, director of the bureau of mines and president of the association, during the international first aid and mine rescue contest at Denver, Colo., September 9, 10 and 11, at which miners will be present from all parts of the country. The men who will be awarded gold hero medals are:
John L. Boardman of Butte, Mont., safety engineer for Anaconda Copper company, who lone-handed saved three miners from death by poisonous gas in the West Colusa mine.
Daniel Bionvitch of Blwabik, Minn. an employee of the Balkan Mining company. A fire broke out in the Belgrade mine. Four times Bionvitch drove his electric locomotive through smoke and gases, bringing out help-

ion on the three following questions: "Was not the peace resolution adopted by congress in May a valid exercise of power and would not its acceptance by Germany legally consummate peace? " "Have not the people at large, in their sovereign capacity, the right to consummate peace by a vote upon such issue? " "Has congress legal power to bind the nation to accept the League of Nations or can only the electorate of the people legally adopt the same? " He announced he immediately would institute mandamus proceedings and yield direction of the issue to the higher professional authority of the bar association should it desire.
He hoped to get action on his proposals in time to have congress called into a short session in September for the purpose of issuing the call to the people to vote upon the issue at the coming November election, providing the opinion of the justices should be against the validity of the congressional peace resolution, yet in favor of the power of the people to control the matter.

"As a result of the efforts of the national federation the Republican and Democratic parties have endorsed provisions to remedy inequalities and injustices in the civil service pay scale
"We want to see the Nolan minimum wage bill pass congress. We want to see the men rated according to skill, training and responsibility, on a merit system administered by a central agency on which employees have representation."
The National Federation of Federal Employees is one of five trade unions composed exclusively of government employees. Its membership comprises 192 locals.
The Democratic party was just as specific in the plank adopted at the San Francisco convention. The plank said in part:
"Impaired roads are of vital importance not only to commerce and industry, but also to agriculture and rural life. We favor a continuance of the present federal aid plan under existing federal and state agencies, amended so as to include as one of the elements in determining the ratio in which the several states shall be entitled to share in the fund the area of any public lands "perenn."
This definite action of both parties the good roads enthusiasts declare proves conclusively that motor transportation has been recognized as a definite factor in the nation's economic fabric and that everything will be done to utilize its value to the utmost
Good roads construction is favored moreover, by both the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees. Each is an ardent good roads booster and believes that highway development is necessary for the economic welfare of the country. So here is one thing on which both parties agree.
less men who finally fully recovered
less men who mainly rely on James Collins and James Dillmirl of Mullen, Ida, employees of the Gold Hunter Mining and Smelter company. While endeavoring to reach two entombed men in the mine, they themselves were caught by a cave in and were imprisoned for 15 hours. Michael Conroy, Peter Sheridan and James D. Moore, miners for the North Butte Mining company, at Butte Mont., sacrificed their lives in trying to save others. The nearest living relative of each will receive the gold medals and the diplomas. These diplomas recite in full the details of the sacrifice.

THE REPUBLICAN MARATHON,
FTER many months of political milling the candidates for the desig-
A tation for nomination for the different offices on the Republican
county and state ticket have been named, and on September 14, they
will all toe the mark for the first heat in the great race to be run on
November 2.
‘There were many entries for the different honors and among them
we find three colored entrants, all stripped for the race with riders up.
Whether any one of them or all three will be lucky enough to come
in under’ the wire depends upon many things, While they haye many
bandicaps, however, we wish them all well.
The gubernatorial race is not attracting any attention, as Governor
Shoup is conceded a renomination, *
‘The senatorial race is the great event of the primary and, consequently
overshadows all else. The two leading candidates for the senatorial nom-
ination are attended by many professional grooms and political rubbers
and a considerable degree of acrimony has’ been stirred up by the camp
followers of these two Jeading candidates and as a result much feeling is
in evidence, Already charges of unfairness have been hurled back and
forth by both factions and from present indications it bids fair to become
the most heated primary election in the history of the party. Let us
hope that the fight may not become so bitter that an irreparable breach
in the party harmony may be caused therefrom and the defeat of the
entire ticket be the result.
We ure at a loss to understand or find a sane reason for such a’ bitter
feeling between the supporters of these two candidates at this stage of
the game, unless it is that customary feeling of “Cock-sure-to-win” re-
gardless of what we do or say to one another as Republicans. And here
jet us speak about that “‘cock-sure” idea. To have a feeling of certainty
is a good thing, it helps to win success in many instances, but because
we feel sure of winning, does not warrant us in becoming reskless and
disregard the rights and feelings of the other party.
‘The fact must ‘not be overlooked that we have only carried Colorado
for the Republican nominee but once in thirty years, and that was for
Colonel Roosevelt, We want to see the state of Colorado go Republican all
down the line this year but if we persist in the unwise tactics of biffing
Republicans we will find out our mistake when it is too late. There can
only be one regular sénatorial nominee on the ticket and we certainly
ought to be able to conduct a campaign so that there will be no sores
to heal after the primaries and the man who wins the nomination can be
supported by each and every Republican, Let us. remember that we will
have a pretty hard fight to dislodge the enemy after eight long years on
the inside of the breastworks.
Republicans, watch your step.
THE PEOPLE'S DUTY ‘TO THE NEWSPAPER.
dE SUBSCRIBERS and readers of The COLORADO STATESMAN
I have a reciprocal duty to the paper that comes into their hands fifty-
two times a year—we never miss an issue. The first duty is to see
that the management get their money. Newspapers, like churches, socie-
ties and other businesses, cannot run without money, therefore prompt pay
is essential.
Second—If the COLORADO STATESMAN is a good paper—we try to
make it the best—then you ought to try to increase its circulation and sub-
scription, just as you try to get new members into your chureh and lodge.
It means a stronger church or beter lodge, just as increased circulation
makes a better newspaper.
Third—The mission ot this paper is the collection, condensation—
for that is necessary in thees busy days—and disseminating of news of
a healthy, interesting and beneficial nature to the race. ‘This paper has
demonstrated this beyond any question during the past thirty years.
But it is impossible to get all of the happenings of importance in a city
like Denyer unless notice of these events are mailed to our office. Very
often meetings of an interesting nature are held, entertainments given, so-
cials, parties and banquets carried out, sports, games and reunions con-
ducted, concerts, lectures and installations indulged in, business transac-
tions, Sales and changes pulled off successfully, and people wonder why it
is not referred to in our paper. Simply because the management is not
aware of the happening, or press tickets or newspaper courtesy mailed or
presented to us so that we might send our reporter to get the facts. There
are ethies in newspaper work, the same as in other service, and promoters
of entertainments ought to make provision for the press the same as they
do for other kinds of publicity. The people of Denver want the news. The
COLORADO STATESMAN is prepared to give it. ‘This is our business and
it is the indispensable duty of every one to assist in getting it to us so that
the public may have it promptly. The COLORADO STATESMAN does not
charge for space and will not charge except for that of an advertising na-
ture. We will publish all matter mailed to us, reserving, of course, the
right to edit the same. Let the public take notice of this and do your duty.
MARTIAL LAW IN DENVER.
FTER ONE week of a serious street car strike in Denver, filled with
A rioting, murder and destruction of property, and endless court pro-
cedure and the issuing of injunctions, Denver finds herself under
martial law and the strike declared off. .
For one solid week the entire city has been under a strain; the people
excited and wrought up to a terrible degree, and the officers of the law
overtaxed in their difficult struggle to maintain, and enforce the law. Dur-
ing the entire period the people were living nd walking in uncertainty,
knowing not what to look for from one day to the next.
‘On last Thursday and Friday nights Denver was in the midst of the
wildest rioting and mob violence perhaps this city has ever experienced.
The mayor was forced to the extraordinary expedience of calling upon
the American Legion and for volunteers to assist the officers of the law in
quelling the rioters.
‘On Friday evening the situation became so alarming that the governor
was forced to call for fetieral troops and at about 1 a, m. Saturday morn-
ing Col. Ballon arrived from Fort Logan with 250 U. S. troops, and imme-
diately took command of the situation and proclaimed martial law.
Five hundred or more troops were being rapidly hurried by special
tains to Denver from Camp Funston.
‘At this moment things, seemingly. are getting back to normal; the
street cars on several of the main lines are being operated and passengers
are riding on the cars again, Since the arrival of federal troops a feeling
of security has pervaded the atmosphere. Whether or not the action of
the executive committee of the union in calling off the strike, confirmed
by a vote of 997 to 3 of the men, will actually call off the strike and the
return 6f the men to work remains to be seen.
We sincerely hope that such is the case and that this strike and the
reign of terror that has prevailed is actually over.
| And now may we ask the pertinent question, what has been gained
by the strike? Where have the men who went out on strike benefited
themselves? We regret that they went out on strike and condemn their
leaders for such ill-advised action. Public sentiment was against the
strike, and under the conditions, their leaders should have known and
ought to have foreseen the ultimate defeat at this time of such a strike.
To strike and lose is far worse than not to strike at all.
It not only puts our city in a bad light abroad, but it weakens the
cause of the men, especially when the ‘strike is accompanied with vio.
lence to people and destruction of property.
‘The unions may actually be averse to violence in any form in a
strike, but we rarely ever see a strike of any proportions wherein there does
not occur at least some little violence. ‘This violence may not be actually
the work of the Strikers, but some other lawless, dissatisfied element tak-
ing advantage of the situation to work destruction which will be charged
up to the strikers,
‘We hope never again to witness another strike of any kind and plead
for peace at all times. Let capital and labor listen to reason and submit
their differences to just arbitration and abide by the same.
Constitutional Government the Sure
Base of Our American Liberty.
By CHARLES EVANS HUGHES.
In an appreciation of the difficulties which have
“™\ accompanied the period after the war, we must avoid
+ Xa distorted view and we must not fail to realize that
2 the great heart of the nation has not changed in @ few
months, notwithstanding the absence of a compelling
motive and the rush of competing interests,
3 Unless we have in peace time that dominant senti-
+ _ ment which prompts a continuous and self-sacrificing
—<Yy devotion to public ends, the sacrifices of patriotism in
war will have been in vain. Our national ideals are
not bound up in anything short of establishing and
ay
maintaining constitutional government as the sure base of liberty.
It is a spurious patriotism that is linked to the triumph of any creed
or class, or becomes the vehicle of bigotry. ‘The common good rooted in
the essential institutions of justice and individual liberty—that is the
natural ideal.
We have talked so much of free institutions that we are apt to think
that they will take care of themselves. Our recent and current experi-
enees should disabuse us of this notion,
The motto for democracy must be educate, educate, educate. You
can find no other security than the intelligence and conscience of the peo-
ple. But you cannot at once educate and stifle opinion.
‘There is hope in the free air, there is tonic in confidence in ultimate
success of What ydu strongly believe to be true, but the policy of denying
free expression of political opinions is death to the republic, for that ex-
pression is its vital force.
“The practice of putting large discretionary powers at the disposal
of officers needs a curb. ‘The patriot in peace demands government upon
estzblished principles, and he should always be ready to contest officialism
and bureaucracy, with its readiness to suppress individual freedom.
A Department of Conservation With
Its Secretary a Cabinet Member.
By J. H. WALLACE, JR., Alabama Conservation Commissioner.
One of the most vital needs of this country is the establishment of a
department of conservation, with a secretary who is a member of the
president's cabinet, to conserve the rapidly diminishing natural resources
of the nation. he creation of a department of conservation would un-
qnestionably result in a more economical administration of our various
conservation statutes, and would undoubtedly eventuate in a higher de
gree of efficiency of service.
Each passing year records the diminution of some great natural re-
source. Our forests are being devastated ; our mines are being exhausted ;
our fisheries are being depleted; our national parks are being exploited
for selfish gain, and our migratory bird life must be protected by laws,
vigorously enforced, to save it from certain depletion and threatened
extinction. é
Due to the departmental organization of this government, all federal
statutes relating to conservation are relegated for administration to the
obscurity of a bureau. Hence, many of the conservation statutes have
failed to achieve the splendid purposes for which they were designed.
‘The secretary of each of the departments which administers the con-
servation laws is presumably selected by reason of his knowledge and
equipment for the main purposes of the particular department of which
he is the head and not because of his knowledge concerning the application
and enforcement of our conservation laws. It is impossible for the sec-
retary of a department to give that degree of personal attention so essen-
tial to a successful administration to other than what he considers the
paramount thing in his department.
A department of conservation directed by a secretary would carry
great prestige, and would exert a tremendous influence in evolving and
securing the enactment of adequate legislation for the preservation of our
natural resources.
In proportion that our country preserves its natural wealth in the
same measure will it continue to prosper and grow in wealth and power.
‘The establishment of a department of conservation will infuse new life
and vigor into our existing conservation laws, additional measures will
be passed by congress and future generations will have handed down to
them at least a-fair portion of the treasures of nature’s storehouse.
These People Who Are Thrifty and
Clean—They Inherit the Earth.
By MRS. TILLIE J. FRANKENTHAL, Chicago Bankér.
| Tf everyone would only budget—there would be no need in the whole
world. It is injudicious spending and no saving which brings need and
want and dependency? You will find among the neediest people the
greatest necessitY for systematic saving. And usually they are the ones
wh» ulways have a penny to spend for some nonessential thing.
Women are woefully ignorant of matters of finance, but it’s not to be
wondered at. No one has evertaken the trouble to explain the workings
of money to women, or to any one else, for that matter. What folly it is
‘to expect a girl, reared with no thought of money, its needs or its uses,
to become a frugal and skillful manipulator of it when she has a home
of her own. :
Finance should be taught in schools, and I think the time will come
when the world will agree with me. I don’t mean the old stock interest
problems and intricate sums. “I mean the successful manipulation of
money, the graceful art of saving and the intelligent application of the
knowledge that money will earn.money. Such a scheme will work for our
‘national advancement and for security of many, many people. :
| ‘These people who are thrifty, and clean—they inherit the earth.
They are prepared for whatever calamities come upon them. 'They’ve
saved to meet just such an emergency. They are happy, because they know
“they have saved to make themselves secure. They have eliminated the
bogey of worry from their affairs, all by ausing foresight and thrift.
It's not money that is the root of all evil. It is the hoarding of
money. But it is the bickering over money which brings a deal of the
unhappiness in the world and the lack of it which brings out most of the
/suffering. And for all this the simple budget will bring relief.

“WIN WITH BLAKEMORE,” SLOGAN OF FRIENDS.
Race Voters Are Urged to Stand by Candidate Who Can Win,
if Nominated.
“Win With Blakemore” is the slogan which hundreds of
friends of Attorney. BE, P, Blakemore have chosen throughout
Denver. With this slogan Attorney Blikemore’s friends expect
to “put him over" and thus have the race represented among the
twelve representatives to be elected to the Twnty-third General
Assembly of Colorado Yor Denver County,
In advocating the election of Mr. Blakemore the colored
citizens have decided that of the three candidates of the race
who were designated at the Republican County Assembly last
Monday, he is perhaps best fitted because of his triining in a
professionel way. They urge, also, that Attorney Blakemore
has had a splendid opportunity to come into personal contact
‘with all the big men ot the party and who doubtless may be per-
suaded to use their influence in getting white Republicans to
vote for him.
An analysis of the entire situation shows that there will
probably be 30,000 Republican votes cast. Approximately, there
will be only 2,000 votes cast by our people. As there will only
be twelve persons elected, a large majority of the votes must
come from the other race, Attorney Blakemore's friends de-
clare that he will be in position to secure a greater number of
votes of the Republicans among the other race than the other
aspirants of our race because he is well known to many of the
leading Republicans and during the course of his large practice
in Denver has made many friends among the influential men and
women of the party in the other race.
Strength Shown Monday.
‘As an evidence of this, Mr. Blakemore's friends point to the
fact that the delegates at the County Assembly last Monday gave
him a much larger vote than was given one of the other aspir-
ants of the race who has been making an active candidacy for
weeks and who has been openly supported by one of the local
newspapers. A large number of workers have been in the field
in the interest of this candidate for some time, but with all of
this help and the assistance of columns of matter in this news-
paper, he received only 167 votes. ‘This was more than 100
votes less than was given one of the colored candidates and for-
ty-one and a half votes less than Attorney Blakemore received,
although the latter had made no canvass whatever and depended
solely upon whatever strength he possessed as a citizen in the
community.
The showing made by Mr. Blakemore in the assembly when
there had been no particular effort put forth upon the part of
of his friends to have him designated, has convinced many that
he is the logical candidate for every colored man and woman to
get behind and support. Only one of the race candidates could
be elected, if nominated, and because of that fact they declare
that the strongest race candidate should be put forward.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Plans are being made and programs
‘are being ontlined for the fall. work
‘which will begin about the latter part
‘of September and the first of October.
‘These plans are, of course, somewhat
of a tentative nature, depending some-
‘what upon conditions prevailing at the
time or those that may arise shortly
afterward and which at that time can
he foreseen, The Sunday afternoon
meetings will doubtless be held in Fern
Hall, as they were Inst year, an ocea-
sional meeting being held outside in
some Chureh,
We have been favored during the
Last week by the presence of many
of the numerous visitors who are in
the city, These come from different
states and sections of the country, the
majority coming from ‘Texas, Arkan-
sas, Okluhoma, and some from the far
South, Among them come men who
ure members of associations in other
cities. They generally bring a word
‘of greeting, and express themselves as
ia glad that a new building iseprom-
ised us in the near future. It is pleas-
ant to have their greeting.
Croquet: games have been very nu-
merous during the week, And while
it cannot be said that many really star
gumes have been played, many of
them have been of a high and interest-
ing character, A pleasant feature of
the week's games hus been the playing
of many of the visitors now Ih the city,
some of then putting up a really good
game, ‘The young boys, too, are phiy-
ing well, The most of them know the
rules and different points of the game
quite ax well as the grown-ups. Last
Wednesday little Hoford Irving, the
smallest player on the ground, chil-
lenged King toa game, ‘Phe game was
played on the hoys’ grounds, which are
rather rough, and King found himself
having to play hurd to win out, He
was surprised at the knowledge and
dexterity of the “kid.”

Three more French war orphans
have been taken under the Legion's
wing by contributions of $75 each
from two posts and an todividual
“member” of another, as listed above,
who asked that his name be withheld.
‘The anonymous donor, in his letter
transmitting a check which will care
for one of the fatherless waits a year
under the Legion plan, says he “would
be glad to have the privilege of being
an adopted father another yeur if nec-
essary.”
‘The New Jersey post forwarded Its
contribution to the Legion's national
treasurer, Robert H. Tyndall, through
Thomas Goldingey, state adjutant, ard
expresses no preference as to the sex
or age of Its prospective protee.
R. L. Jones, adjutant of the Mil-
waukee post, writes:
“At the last meeting of the post,
the membership unanimously decided
to adopt a little French orphun and
would prefer a little girl, IT am in-
structed to request of you, If possible,
the little girl's pleture and also her
name and address In order that we
may keep in touch with her from thne
to time,
“Luckily, there is a member of our
post who Is able to read and write
French and therefore will imve no
trouble in corresponding with the little
girl.”
Advices from France are that 3,000
children, the keenest sufferers in the
after-the-war distresses of the coun-
try, are threatened with actual want.
Many were once .the wards of A. E. F.
outfits.
Posts of the Legion, or Individual
members or friends, may adopt a
French war orphan for at least one
year, contributing seventy-five dollars
for the first year's support. The mas-
cots assigned will be either orphans or
the children of permanently disabled
French veterans
All of the money contributed will go
to the child. The Red Cross bears all
expenses of administration.

‘The clubhouse was built “barracks
fashion,” at a cost of only $5,000, and
contains a kitchen, dining room, Dil-
liard, reading and writing room, a

Mr, Miller served ay chairman of

under his direction that such generous

of the Sweet and Darrow bills for bet-

ton, and before the Minneapolis tom
vention he had succeeded in obtaining
from congress an incorporation of
the American Legion, In September
he was, Jolned by the other members
of the legisiutive committee provided
for by the convention.
Because of the pressure of his pri-
vate business, which is the reason for
Mr, Miller's retirement from this highly
Important Legion post, he placed his
resignation In the hands of Mr. D'Ol-
fer, the national commander, as early
as last spring. At that time, however,
he was prevailed upon to remain at
his post until congress adjourned, be-
cause his committee was In, the midst
of its fight for legislation for the dis-
abled and for congressional considera-
tion of the four-fold optional plin of
adjusted compensation.
John Thomas Taylor of Washington,
D. C, a member of the committee
since November, has been appointed
chairman to fll out Mr, Miller's un-
expired term.
Although Mr. Miller is only thirty-
three years old, he has an unusual
buckground of army service and ex-
perience in publle life. He enlisted tn
the arpy as a private and came out
of it a lieutenant colonel, Although
he had attended the first Plattsbure
school, he was unable to obtain adits:
sion to the first officers’ training camp
after war was declared because of a
physical handicap. He was a first
Meutenant before going overseas with
the One Hundred and Fourteenth In-
fantry of the Twenty-Ninth divisfon
with which he served in France. He
first became consplcuous in public life
as the youngest member of the Sixty-
Fourth congress, having been elected
Jat the age of twenty-seven. Before
that he had been secretary of the state
of Delaware at- twenty-six.
HOT ON BERGDOLL’S TRAIL
Effort Will Be Made to Have Alleged
Stackers Aero Pilot's Certifi-
‘cate Cancelled.
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, areh-
slacker and fugitive from Justice for
whose apprehension rewards aggregat-
Ing $5,056 have been offered, holds
pilot certifieate No, 169 in the Aero
Ch of America and representations
for its cancellation will be made at
once, it was announced at Legion na-
tional headquarters recently.
‘The first intimation that Bergdoll
held a license in the club was con-
tained in a letter to Lemuel Bolles,
national adjutant of the Legion, from
Kenneth W. Haltz, a member of Frank
Luke, Jr., post, American Legion, of
Phoenix, Ariz.
Mr. Bolles has written, in part, as
‘follows :
| “I have no hesitancy in expressing
my ‘conviction that, as soon as the
‘facts become public, there will be an
overwhelming sentiment among Legion

BATTALION OF WOMEN MARCH
TO FRONT TO HELP SAVE
WARSAW.
POLES ARE MAKING DESPERATE
STAND ON DEFENSES AROUND
PULTUSK.
Weaiern Newspaper Union News Service.
Warsaw, Aug. 13—Warsaw was
stirred when a battalion of women
marched throush the main streets on
their way to the front to tke up a
share in the capital's defense, Enel
woman carried a rifle and ammunition.
The women already haye been under
fire, purticipating in the defense of
Vilna, where they suffered more than
sixty ensualties.
‘A great battle is being fought in the
vieinity of Pultusk about thirty-eight
mniles north of Warsaw, where the Bol-
shevists have launched a violent at-
tuck intended to oust the Poles from
the town “at any price.”
Paris The situation at Warsaw
continues critical, ‘The Russian plan
of -umpaign of delivering successive
blows at different points tends to dis-
organize the Polish defense, compel-
ling the Polish staff to rush reserves to
widely separated points,
‘The Ited northern forces have been
heavily reinforced and pushed to with-
in thirty miles of the capital. ‘The
Poles are making a desperate stand on
defenses hastily thrown up around Pul-
tusk, and, although badly equipped,
half trained and not too well supplied
with ammunition, they are holding
their own, according to the latest news.
But the issue still is in the balance.
‘The operations of General Wrangel,
anti-Bolshevist Commander in South:
Russia, can do nothing to relieve the
pressure on the Poles, according to
French military opinion. Wrangel Is
marching out of the Crimen to find on
the continent a means for feeding the
refugees who followed his retreat last
year,

Being Curtailed and There Is Need for Careful Saving of Every Bic of
eae
(Prepare’, by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Greens of all kinds, both wild or eul-
tivated, are well liked by most people
and are valuable food in the human
dietary. If more were eaten there
would be less need of resorting to the
doctor,
When the various kinds of grees
are young, tender and at their best,
some should be canned for use during
the winter. Of the wild greens the
dandelion is the most common, Among
the cultivated greens are Swiss chard.
kale, Chinese cabbage leaves, French
endive, cabbage sprouts, turnip tops.
young tender New Zealand spinach,
@andelion, young tender dusheen
sprouts, native mustard, Russian mus-
tard, collards and tender rape leaves

eral substances, and are nearly as de-

Decreased Buying Power of Dollar
Makes Her Think and Avoid All
Kinds of Waste—Lessens Prices
in Many Ways.
The modern housewife Is becoming
expert in buying. She Is redding the
lnbels, in accordance with the sugees-
tion made by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, and checking
up the welghts and measures of the
food products she buys. She has
learned when to buy in quantity and
when in small amount, and when it ts
more economical to buy in bulk than in
package. Many have compared the
cost of making bread at home and of
buying it and are choosing the way
that Is best for them.
‘The lessened buying power of the
dollar has made her think and avoid
all kinds of waste. The family must
be kept well nourished, but the wife
and mother should not provide more
food than is needed. She must know
what kind of food will fill her market
basket to the best advantage. Along
with this knowledge Js that of how
much of the family food should come
from each food group and how far it
is wise to save money by using more
food from the less expensive groups.
‘The housewife of today is keeping a
food account and checks up her weekly
buying by the plan she bas made.
If she wishes to try to lessen prices
for everybody here ure some of the
ways she is going at It: By producing
food at home; by using local products ;
by choosing food that is plentiful In
the markets; by lessening her use of
such foods as are scarce; by co-opera-
tive buying; and by using the parcel

VARIETY NEEDED IN BREADS
More Important When Lunch Must Be
Carried Than at Other Meals
to Avoid Monotony.
Variety in breads 1s more Important
when the Innch must be carried than
at other meals because of the danger
of monotony. Wheat bread, whole-
wheat bread, corn, rye or oatmeal
breads; nut, raisin and date breads;
beaten biscuit, crisp baking powder

TO PREPARE SUPPER
Each Member Is Assigned Certain
Part of the Meal.
Constructive Criticism Found to Be
Valuable in Making Each Repast a
Little Bit Better Than the
Preceding One.
To make sure that the giris in the
home-making clubs, supervised by the
United States department of agricul-
ture and the Connecticut State Agri-
cultural college, are able to put to
practical use what they have learned
in the clubs about buying, cooking and
serving food, their leaders have organ-
ized “supper clubs.”
‘These clubs meet twice a month at
the local leader's home. At the first
meeting of the month a well-balanced
meal is planned with the help of the
leader. Each girl is assigned a certain
part of the meal, for which she {s re-
sponsible.
‘At the second meeting she brings the
material and prepares, cooks and
serves her part of the supper, Adults
are asked to these suppers, and the In-
vitations are highly prized, The usual
menu consists of meat, potatoes. one
vegetable, hot bread, sometimes salad.
dessert, and a hot drink. So far the
average cost per person served has
been 24 to 26 cents.
After the meal the club girls meet
in a group and discuss and criticize
the various articles on the menu and
the serving. This constructive criti
cism has been found to be very valu
able In making each supper a little
better In every way than the preceding

Gelatin dishes may be prepared in
such variety that one need not tire
of them. Combined with fruit juices
and served with eream they are both
filling and nourishing, Sea moss is
another form of gelatin which is being
brought back to Its old place in fa-
yor. A cupful well packed will thick-
en a quart of liquid. ‘The value of
any such gelatinous substance as food
is that it saves more expensive pro-
teins, They should not be given with
the idea of furnishing much nutri-
ment, however, unless with them Is
served a custard or rich sauce.
Salmon With Rice.—Line a buttered
mold with cold, boiled rice, fill the cen-
ter with creamed salmon, cover with
more rice, put the cover on the mold
and steam one-half hour. Serve with
a cream sauce which may be seasoned
with lemon Juice, curry, or minced
parsley. A most delicious white sauce
may be made by using sour cream;
then the lemon juice may be omitted.
Curry of Lamb.—Put into a sauce-
pan three tablespoonfuls of butter and
half an onion cut fine. Cook slowly
until the onion is brown. Add two
tablespoonfuls of flour and a teaspoon-
ful of curry; cook until smooth. Add
two cupfuls of stock and cook for five
minutes, Season with salt, pepper,
strain over slices of cold roast lamb
and serve in a deep platter with a
border of rice.
Deviled Kidneys.—Broil the kid-
neys, and when half cooked score
them with a knife and tn the cuts put
a little mustard, paprika and salt and
finish broiling. Place on small squares
of toast well buttered and keep hot.
Make'a sauce of melted butter, lemon
juice and chopped parsley and pour

FORMAL GOWNS OF FINE FABRICS
Q
SKIRTS REPEAT A PLAITED MODE
1910
DELICATE and lovely fabrics invite and inspire those fortunate designers who spend their time thinking up formal dress for fair women. Unlimited color ranges are at their dsposal and many materials of fine texture and fascinating luster.
The creator of the handsome afternoon frock shown at the left of the picture above has chosen satin, velled with chiffon, for a lovely effort and has taken embroidered bands and ribbon as aids in making an ideal dress for dinner or any other formal wear. If you will imagine it in sapphire blue, a certain brown shades or in black, you will appreciate its elegance. As for its outlines they could not be more simple, but they are graceful and it is in the decoration that the designer has manifested his art and much individuality. The bands of embroidered net are a revival and are set in the chiffon, allowing the luster of satin to reveal itself from underneath. Long loops of satin ribbon take up this love and add additional sheen and a
SKIRTS REPEAT
SIDE plaits, knife plaits, box plaits and, occasionally, accordion plaits reiterate an appreciation of plaits in separate skirts that is going to carry over into the fall season. For already manufacturers are making capital of this vogue for plaitings and using it to enable them to introduce new features in skirt models. Whether the fabric be plain or striped or plaid, sheer of heavy, it brings grist to the mill of the skirt designer.
In striped materials where a light and a dark stripe alternate, the light stripe is turned under either the side or box plaits and often these plaits are stitched down to the swell of the hipline and pressed very thoroughly below it. A skirt of this kind, when hanging straight, appears in the dark color, but moving about glimpses the eighter color in a very interesting way.

narrow girdle is made of this ribbon, fastening at the front with a long embroidered ornament. The finish of the sleeves with a band of ribbon appears to be one of the coming season's style points. Another is the hat of fine hakele dripping from a small turban shape.
The evening gown at the right avails itself of lighter color and is more glowing by this means. It is as simple in outline as its companion but gathers interest by adopting somewhat intricate draping. The skirt follows the harem inspiration, caught under at the bottom and remotely suggesting Turkish rousers. Nothing but the satin is called upon to contribute charm to this gown except a long spray of roses and foliage which are posed against it, repeating the pale rose tint in many delightful shadings. A lovely cream colored hat covered with lace bears a mass of soft uncurled ostrich, to crown this satin splendor in the right way.
A PLAITED MODE
Two very practical plaited models in wool are among the early showings for fall and are illustrated here. There are tailored skirts that will interest the woman who is looking for practical clothes that are attractive as well. The pictures tell so plainly the story of these new models that nothing need be written of them. The plaits are steamed and pressed in the fabrics and are there to stay. A few bone buttons embellish the skirt at the left, set over its side fastening, and a new feature in the other skirt appears in three straps with pointed ends finished with machine stitching which appear at the sides.

Original Pins.
Until the middle of the sixteenth century the poorer class in England used rude skewers of wood as pins, while the more fortunate had pins made of gold, silver and brass.
