LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY A GLIMPSE AT OUR STATE SUPREME AND DENVER DISTRICT AND COUNTY COURTS JUDGES AND COURT OFFICERS WORK ASSIDUOUSLY FOR HIGH STANDARD OF JUSTICE AND EFFICIENCY EXAMPLES SET FOR OTHER GOVERNMENT BODIES. VOL. XXVII. A GLIMPSE AT OUR AND DENVER COUNTY JUDGES AND COURTS ASSIDUOUSLY FOR OF JUSTICE AND EXAMPLES SET FOR MENT I FOLLOWING closely the workings of our State Supreme and Denver District Courts for some time, one cannot help from saying a word of commendation over the conduct of these, the people's institutions of Law, by the judges and their assistants—clerks of court, jury commissioner, bailiffs and others who with clock-like regularity serve the best interest of our commonwealth by their unfailing and unceasing attention to duty; their fearlessness in dispensing the law, at the same time remembering 'justice tempered with mercy' as well as the introduction of a systematic order of business which results in our courts being placed at high-water mark, commanding the attention and respect of Colorado and other states. The present composition of the judges of the above and other courts is the result of the people's selection at duly authorized elections, in which there is no guessing as to the qualifications of these men, as their legal practice and professional life have been under the x-ray examination of the public for many years, and therefore in their election by great pluralities there ought to be no other conclusion but that the people selected the best to preside over their legal affairs, and entrusted the dispensing and adjudicating of the law into the hands of such persons who they felt were above compromise or any influence that would interfere with the dignity of the courts or righteous dealing with the people in their demands for justice, whether between individuals, corporations, city, county or state. These judges in turn make their appointments as to junior officers of the courts; not the offering to a friend for some kind act done towards them in the days gone by, nor the repayment for some particular service at an eventful time in their lives, but by election at regularly constituted meetings where the names of persons are presented, well recommended in their applications and who receive such appointments by a majority vote of the judges. Not so long ago in the appointment of a jury commissioner, three men were nominated, and after a close and exciting contest at three successive meetings of the judges, one candidate succeeded in getting the four out of six votes required for appointment as jury commissioner of the District and County Courts. This forms one of the many proofs of the manner in which business of the judiciary is conducted. The courts, therefore, endeavor and generally succeed in selecting the best men and women for the junior offices by this process, which if not carried out in every feature could at the same time offer some help to the selection of appointees for various state and city po --- In the selection of jurors to serve in the respective courts there is to be noticed an increase in the number of colored citizens selected within the current year—the same resulting from a discussion among the judges on the matter being presented to them, that during the last six years prior to 1920, that jurymen drawn were not up to the standard, for the reason that business men, heads of corporations, etc., had been excused by the Jury Commissioner, or their names at least had not been placed in the jury wheel; also that NEGRO CITIZENS WERE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST by not being in the jury wheel, except in one or two instances. The present increase of Negro jurors is the result of the unanimous recommendation to the Jury Commissioner that the names of all persons eligible for jury service in the county of Denver should be placed in the wheel. A PROFITABLE LESSON. And this is the sort of thing that ought to take place in the selection of persons to fill positions in the various state and city departments, whether they be termed civil servants or BENEFICIARIES OF ELECTION AWARDS. Persons desirous of obtaining appointments or employment, whether representative or otherwise, should come recommended from the class of citizens who have labored hard and won the recognition of "backbone citizens;" who have helped to share the heat and burden of the day in contributing to the growth, maintenance and substantial conditions that now prevail; and chiefly among the people of color, provision should be made in awarding them for the part they play to rescue this country and state from what was surely a doomed result in the eight years of tremendous oppression. We have been remembered with the very minor positions during the past years, but now seeing the part we have played, the stand that we took proving without a doubt the courage of our conviction that the REPUBLICAN PARTY is the only source, the only agent we can depend on to fulfil their pre-election promises, can a voice from us be heard in the request for one or two real representative positions for opr people so that others may see and know that Colorado, Denver, are not unmindful of our contribution to the recent REPUBLICAN VICTORY, and that the people of color will not be forgotten at home as the President-elect promises in the nation. A good lesson and a great example set by our courts. Would other state and city heads follow, then we could begin to let the nation see the value of WESTERN PRIDE AND PRESTIGE. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4 1920 THE above portrait is that of W. A. Dollison, clerk of the District Courts, Denver, Colorado, who, through his energetic action, ability for the performance of his duties, courtesy to the public and other commendable qualities, is bringing with the able assistance of his staff, the courts' office to a standard winning praiseworthy sentiments of the public in more than an ordinary manner. The system instituted and strictly adhered to up to this time offers every advantage to both the professional and the public to keep easily in touch with court proceedings, and the ever-ready spirit exhibited by deputies and clerical assistants to this court officer to please judges, attorneys and the people in general, proves beyond a doubt the careful training and attention being given to result in such harmonious working and good fellowship among public servants, meriting in turn, well deserved credit. Mr. Dollison is well known to the Denver public as a man of fairness, broadminded tendencies and possessing that agreeableness which, although firm in the discharge of his official duties, never fails to make him an earnest listener and attendant to the wants of the public. It is, therefore, with much pleasure that we contribute our quota of commendation to a man who, for the years of his residence among us, has proven himself worthy of any position conferred on him by the citizens and the judges of the District Court, and we trust that he may so continue the efficient work of the courts' office, as well as maintain the harmonious relationship existing between himself, staff and the people at the same time. Keeping in view the fact that the people of our side are also in line for some of "the crumbs that fall from the master's table," the COLORADO STATESMAN wishes good luck and a longer career of usefulness.

CLERGYMEN PAY LAST TRIBUTE TO BISHOP TYREE. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 26.—The funeral of Bishop Evans Tyre was held here last week. The great esteem in which the bishop was held was testified to by the attendance of bishops and other prominent clergymen who came to this city to pay their last respects to the deceased. Bishop Tyre had been ill for several months. He was elevated to the bishopric in 1900 and had charge of the work of the A. M.

BLACKS FACE TO COMMIT CRIME. Baltimore, Md.—A little tear in the shirt of an unknown white burglar, who fell upon Robert Lang, laborer in the Marboough apartments, and slashed him in more than twenty-five places, was all that revealed to Lang the fact that his assailant was a white man with face and hands blacked. The man was evidently intent on robbery and cut and slashed Lang severely before frightened off by Lang's cries for help. Lang thought surely the burglar was colored until in the scuffle he tore the man's shirt, revealing a white skin. LOST FOUR SONS IN WAR; GETS $200 PER MONTH INSURANCE.

Liberia, Africa.—American Negroes would be welcomed as immigrants in Liberia, the black republic of Africa, says the Right Rev. W. H. Over, American Episcopal bishop of Liberia.

Some months ago we published a history of the Second Baptist Church; of its early pastors and the present pastor, Rev. C. O. Smith. The church seems to be taking on new life and the pastor's prayers have been answered. He has met with wonderful assistance from his membership and charitable citizens. Mrs. L. B. Mayo, for the Baptist mission, managed the turkey dinner on Thanksgiving day and realized $135. Mrs. Mayo was assisted by Mesdames Anna Dickerson and Lillian McMickins, two prominent church workers. Mrs. Henry Asberry is mending slowly. Mrs. E. W. Wright has returned home to her host of friends after a pleasant visit with friends in Illinois. Mr. and Mrs. James Smith entertained on Thanksgiving day and evening. The honored guests were Mr. and Mrs. William Smith and Mr. and Mrs. H. McCormack. Western Star Lodge No. 6 gave a Masonic entertainment on Thanksgiving evening. It was a financial success. Mr. James Randle was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday.

"The world never moved so fast before," mused Mr. Simmons. "We have winter ice on the Fourth of July, spring vegetables on Christmas; we buy our straw hats in February and our felt hats in August; we get our Sunday paper on Saturday night, and our magazines a month ahead of time. If we telephone a man in San Francisco from New York, he hears our voice about four hours before we speak; and if some one in Japan sends us a cablegram tomorrow, we get it today." "Tough as Hickory." "Tough as hickory" is a phrase suggesting the peculiar strength and elasticity of the hickory wood and it may be for that reason your favorite. Gen. Andrew Jackson was endearingly called "Old Hickory" by his soldiers because of his tough, unyielding disposition. This nickname may have been bestowed during the war with the Creek Indians in 1813, when he fed his men on hickory nuts over a period when they were short of rations. Chinese Barbers. The Chinese are not accustomed to tipping the barber. As a matter of fact the Chinese barber is very modest in his prices, and his patrons can obtain a hair cut, a head shave, a face shave, and in addition have his shoulders and back massaged, all for a sum total of less than 5 cents. The straight razor used by Chinese barbers is a triangular shaped blade with straight handle, folding up as does the American straight razor. The blades are made from old rails or any other crude steel which has outlived its usefulness in other directions. Quick Printing.

Missouri Man Foils Plot to Contest Election St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 19.—Walthall M. Moore, of 3035 Pine street, the only colored man elected to the Missouri Legislature at last Tuesday's election, was found to have qualified for office by the purchase last September of a "politician's lot" in Carondelet. The lot has a frontage of four feet. To comply with the law requiring that an office holder must be a taxpayer, he paid four years' back taxes on the lot, amounting to $4.35. After a search of records in the collector's office had failed to show that Moore had paid any taxes in his own name, Democrats were planning to contest his election, and it was said this morning that John Keegan, a Democrat, who received the next highest vote in the Sixth Legislative district, would institute the contest on the ground of Moore's supposed ineligibility. Information obtained showed that on September 1 last Moore went to the collector's office and exhibited a deed in his name to lot 11, block 35, in Carondelet. This lot had been transferred to him by Robert Walker and had formerly been owned by James P. Cahill. There were four years' back taxes due on the lot. The tax bills were in the names of the former owners and Moore paid the taxes in their names, but had the bills endorsed by the collector as "paid by Walttholl M. Moore." In a number of cases the Board of Election Commissioners has ruled that a purchaser of property who pays the back taxes due on that property is legally a taxpayer within the meaning of the low fixing the qualifications of office holders. Under these rulings, it was said at the City Hall, Moore's eligibility to serve in the Legislature cannot be attacked. Moore is 38 years old and was born in Alabama. He received his education in Howard University, at Washington, D. C. He formerly was a clerk in the St. Louis postoffice, and more recently has been a waiter in downtown restaurants. He worked for a time at the City Club. Moore has stated that he would enter the Legislature with the purpose of supporting every proposition that will help the public welfare; will oppose everything against public welfare, and will support those things agreed on in the Republican caucuses. He said he would work in the interest of higher salaries for school teachers, with a view to raising the educational standards of the States, and would do what he could to provide more educational advantages for colored people. Robert Owen, candidate for Congress on the Farmer-Labor ticket, was defeated as was also Langston Harrison, candidate on the Republican ticket for the Legislature.

The Knights of the Cross found baths in general use among the Saracens, and seeing what good things they were on returning from those wars took the initiative for their introduction. In this they were highly successful first in England and from that to other countries. So popular did the bath become that it became customary to have one before ceremonies such as marriage or knighthood, and the people have been ever since learning the value of keeping their skins clean.

They are a middle class empire, granted by imperial ambitions or ancient traditions of overlordship. They are governed by middle class sentiment. They put all problems of life to the test of that simplicity which is found in middle class homes, the neither anarchy is welcome nor aristocracy privileged. America is empire of the wage earner, where even her plutocrats have but little over the independence of her people. It is a nation of nobodies, with the power of common man and the plain sense that governs his life. Other nations are still ruled by their "somebodies," by their pomes and high panjandrums. But it is the nobodies whose turn is going in history, and America is on their side. of doubt if there has been in Washington a more important conven- tion in years than the recent meeting of the Water Power League of America when representatives of the great consumers and producers of America took up with the federal commission rules and regulations for the development of the country's vast hydraulic power resources, recently added by congress. Few realize the extent of this great national re- sult. It is a great mine of wealth, the surface of which has only been exposed. The United States geological survey estimates the possible development of water power at about 60,000,000 horsepower as compared about 10,000,000 horsepower now in use. The use of power has in- d fivefold in twenty years. There was only 2,000,000 horsepower assessed in 1901. In the past coal and oil for the production of power have been com- monly inexpensive. Now we are bound to see tremendous strides in the development of suitable substitutes, the most logical being water power. I believe that in it lies the solution of the fuel problem. With railroads and many of our big industries electrified, there would be of coal and plenty of transportation facilities for small users. The development of all this power is going to carry many important ties into effect. It will involve a westward growth of industries. Fourths of the potential power in New England is already de- d, and while the Atlantic and central states have put in use about of their possible power, the mountain states of the West have de- d only 7 per cent, and Pacific states but 4 per cent.

In the past coal and oil for the production of power have been comparatively inexpensive. Now we are bound to see tremendous strides in the development of suitable substitutes, the most logical being water power. In fact, I believe that in it lies the solution of the fuel problem. With our railroads and many of our big industries electrified, there would be plenty of coal and plenty of transportation facilities for small users. The development of all this power is going to carry many important changes into effect. It will involve a westward growth of industries. Three-fourths of the potential power in New England is already developed, and while the Atlantic and central states have put in use about a third of their possible power, the mountain states of the West have developed only 7 per cent, and Pacific states but 4 per cent.

And that is exactly what these blanket demands amount to. During wartime, when the fervor of organization and contribution was at its height, schemes of concentrated appeals were devised and carried out with good success. But the time is over, and the public should not and will not be beogged by indefinite appeals for funds with no clear objective, no stipulated scheme of management, no frankly outlined policy. The failure of the interchurch movement is a striking example. The public flatly refused to be driven into another general scheme. People wanted to give as individuals, to whatever end they wished, and they definitely rejected the scheme which refused them this privilege. General contribution to a central fund will never work in these post-war days. I contend that any institution which is asking support from the public should be able to present good grounds for its request. It should provide its public with a frank statement of policies and budgets and a record of satisfactory service. If it cannot do this, it is unworthy of support. The general public has a right to understand what its money is going for, and unless we provide satisfactory explanations we deserve no contributors. I think every appeal we make should be on its own merits, and should stand or fall on the record of achievement. Dr. Livingston Farrand, American Red Cross—While the first call for Red Cross services is at home, the greatest problem of the age is the 11,000,000 war orphans and 50,000,000 other destitute children of Europe. It is a greater problem than any which came during the war. These children are undernourished, unfed, untrained, and mentally, morally and physically destitute. Twenty years from now they will form the basis of civilization in Europe. If we are to preserve ourselves, preserve the foundations of society, we must help those children who tomorrow will direct the destinies of Europe.

THE NEGRO AND "THE OPEN SHOP." "Fools as they were, Could not mine eye, through their dissembled calmness, Spy the struggle of despair? Hence had they sent this wasted frame To bribe you to your country's shame." THUS spoke Regulus of the Roman army before the Roman Senate towards the close of the Punic Wars, when Rome and Carthage struggled for the supremacy of the world, and, after his capture and incarceration in a dungeon by the Carthaginians for some length of time, he was sent with an embassy to Rome to sue for peace when the resources of Carthage were depleted. Had he made the representation required of him to his countrymen, his freedom would have been insured and he would have returned to end his last days in Rome; but the hardy Roman, fully conscious of the weakness of Carthage, in his address from which we use above quotation, inspired Rome to spurn the "gilded bait" and go to war once more with Carthage, as victory was a certainty. go to war once more when we go to war. In applying this to "the Negro and the open shop," we cannot help from endorsing this movement that is going over the country and will soon make its grip on other parts of the world, as from the treatment given to the skilled and unskilled labor of the people of our race by the "closed shop" institution and its agents, and the terrible sufferings and unjust actions brought to bear on us on account of COLOR, we strongly advocate and insist on advising our people to stand first and last for the OPEN SHOP. We can cite any number of cases where we were refused admission into the various unions and trade assemblies, and whenever we were accepted we were always made to feel that the action was more from a charitable standpoint than the real free American spirit. Some may argue in the following: "What about your musicians' union, or your janitors' and building laborers' union?" But can we forget that these are the little convenient turns for the "closed shop" fraternity as we play to their advantage and finally their success? A few months ago at the International Convention of Labor in Canada, some of the branches of the South exhibited the real spirit of discrimination, and uttered strong sentiments in opposition to men of the Negro labor unions being admitted into the international organization. Prior to this event, seeing the "hand-writing on the wall," the American Federation of Labor accepted us in some qualified form of admission, and this is the part that we are advising our men and their organizations not to play—THE PART OF ALLOWING THEMSELVES TO BE USED AS INSTRUMENTS OR TOOLS AT CRITICAL MOMENTS TO SETTLE ANY RADICALISM THAT IS PRESENTING ITSELF TO THIS COUNTRY. Negroes are organizing and qualifying and pooling their resources for the purpose of participating in the government of themselves by themselves, in accordance with our Constitution—government of the people, by the people, and we have no reason to be ashamed of the advancement we have made up to the present time, and this, we make plain, is not the result of the "closed shop." Therefore we advocate THE OPEN SHOP as really the sesame that gives all workers, regardless of race, color, politics, religion or fraternal affiliations, a chance to work side by side; a privilege the Constitution of the United States guarantees to all its citizens. Read account of working activities during the period of the war and see whether THE OPEN SHOP did not prove the 100% American industrial plan. We have had our experience of the destructive effect of the "closed shop" in every phase of Negro rejection, and because "he who feels it knows it", we strongly urge our men to line up solidly for the OPEN SHOP, the same being advantageous to their cause and the great remedy it offers in the MIGHT AGAINST RIGHT proposition. REVOLT OF NEGROES THROUGH UNITED STATES URGED BY AMERICAN RADICAL (WHITE). THE following article appeared in the Rocky Mountain News of November 27, 1920, by the Associated Press, in which John Reed, a former American radical and magazine writer takes an opportunity to reflect on the growth and intellectual progress of the Negro, as he advocates a combination of the black race with Reds to further Sovietism. This new form of government stretches the imagination to such an extent, that the triub days of the privateers and buccaneers will be resurrected, the people being made to believe that WHAT CANNOT BE GOTTEN BY HONEST MEANS MUST BE TAKEN BY FORCE, and then commend themselves for their "cleverness," while the world must be made to admire their action as introducers of "the best government" for the equalization of things among the people. of things among Washington, Nov. 26 — "Union of the American Negroes with the radical elements of all nations to further the cause of world sovietism was urged before the Moscow meeting of the Communist International, at which Dmitrie and Trotzky spoke, by the late American radical and magazine writer, John Reed, according to the text of his speech received here official dispatches from Russia. in official dispatches. Describing the position of the Negro in the United States, especially in the Southern states, as "terrible," Reed declared the Negro offers a two-fold opportunity to the spread of Communism in this country; first, a strong race and social movement, and, second, a strong proletarian movement. Race consciousness has steadily increased among the Negroes, he said, "a certain section of whom are now carrying on a propaganda in favor of armed revolt against the whites," and socialistic ideas are rapidly developing among the blacks employed in industrial establishments. White and Negro labor must be joined in a common labor union. Reed proposed, as the quickest way to destroy race prejudice and develop class solidarity." Now, if JOHN REED, who possibly had to be sent out of this country, or who escaped before our authorities could get their hands on him—if he wants to start this movement for the benefit of the white races of the world, as he thinks the time has come when the people of his race ought to have a change, he can find enough folks among his people to start his propaganda, put it in action and do whatever he wants without using us as an auxiliary. The "bait" is alright for some who feel that Ignorance clothed with power can maintain order and good government, but we refuse "to bite." While it is true that we have some conditions in the Southland that are revolting, and crimes engaged in by some of the people that reflect on our civilizing agencies, yet we are gradually putting them down by endeavoring to strictly enforce the law, and in the majority of cases, after due investigation and careful analysis, we discover that such men like JOHN REED and their followers are largely responsible for the fills that be. It is untrue and unfair to the Negro citizenry of this nation to say "a certain section of whom are now carrying on a propaganda in favor of armed revolt against the whites" and other things which seem to present us to the world as being incapable of producing leaders or following anything otherwise than RADICALISM. If Negroes cannot organize industrially, or pool their resources so as to do business on the same plane as the whites, or enter the market as a healthy, honest competitor, without the construction being placed on it as ARMED REVOLT, or something directly opposite to our efforts for helping to maintain the principles and free institutions of this government, then we virtually have not shown any signs or given any proofs of the benefit we derived from our emancipation of nearly three score years. THE COLORADO STATESMAN, with all the emphasis it can use, asserts that the JOHN REED propaganda will find no lodgment in the heart and mind of the Negro of this great commonwealth, as the methods that we are helping to formulate, and the plans we are assisting to adopt, can work out for us by far a greater and a better salvation and our reaching the goal of success, than becoming victims of these fanatical reformers, who generally resolve to use us to foster their movements. JOHN REED IS ALRIGHT for Russia. KEEP HIM THERE AND HIS DOCTRINE. We are Americans who have fought, bled and died for good government in this, our united nation. good government. We are going to join the ranks of new-fashioned radical ideas, and if we must go in search of something to arouse us to the following after strange doctrines, we are going to think BLACK RACE FIRST before assisting any white man or white race to turn civilization UPSIDE DOWN. Get help somewhere else, John Reed. We have troubles of our own, don't mention yours. America Has Attained Highest Place Among the Peoples of World America Has Attained Highest Place Among the Peoples of World By SIR PHILIP GIBBS in "People of Destiny" PETER H. America is at the threshold of her supreme destiny in the world. By her action in the war, when for the first time her strength was revealed as a mighty nation, full grown and conscious of power, she has attained the highest place among the peoples, and her will shall prevail if it is based upon justice and liberty. I believe that America's destiny will be glorious for mankind, not because I think that the individual American is a better, nobler, more spiritual being than the individual Englishman, Frenchman, or Russian, but because I see, or think I see, that this great coun- try is inspired more than any other nation among the big powers by the united, organized qualities of simple, commonplace people with kindness of heart, independence of spirit, and sincerity of ideas, free from the old heritage of caste, snobbishness, militarism, and fetich-worship which still lingers among the junkers of Europe. They are a middle class empire, untainted by imperial ambitions or ancient traditions of overlordship. They are governed by middle class sentiment. They put all problems of life to the test of that simplicity which is found in middle class homes, where neither anarchy is welcome nor aristocracy privileged. America is the empire of the wage earner, where even her plutocrats have but little power over the independence of her people. It is a nation of nobodies, great with the power of common man and the plain sense that governs his life. Other nations are still ruled by their "somebodies," by their pomposities and high panjandrums. But it is the nobodies whose turn is coming in history, and America is on their side.

Hiram Commandery No. 20, in six of two postponed events, due to unrollable conditions, demonstrated. The Y. W. C. A. Living Pictures' entertainment was quite a success last Thursday. The Y. W. C. A. is setting the pace for the Y. M. C. A. John Canada, our popular Denverite and prosperous business man, left today for Minneapolis, Minn., on a business trip. Mr. Canada will also visit Toronto, Canada, before returning. Herman Franklin of 2542 Franklin, who has been a sufferer several weeks from a paralytic stroke, is able to be out again. Mr. T. S. Rector, one of our old and respected citizens, active in civic and lodge circles, was taken suddenly ill Thursday and is confined to his bed. We hope for him a speedy recovery. Mrs. Isabel Stewart of 2151 Humboldt street has gone to the hospital for an operation. We wish her a speedy restoration to health. John Blackwell, while on duty at the postoffice, met with an accident yesterday by bursting a blood vessel. He was taken to the hospital for treatment. Mrs. McGuire, East Thirty-fourth avenue, mother of Mrs. Jessie Zachery, was very painfully burned in the face and arm, accidently, on Monday evening, Nov. 29th. Under the care of Dr. C. E. Terry, she is rapidly improving. M. McKeether, popular among the boys, spent two days in Denver this week en route to Omaha, Neb., and Kansas City, Mo., from Tempest, Colo. Mr. McKeether lived in Denver for some time and was always given the credit of being one of our most energetic young men. He operated a farm in the Dearfield colony, Colorado, and was pretty successful, when his attention was turned to stock raising and now our young friend is located on a 640-acre ranch at Tempest, Colo., where he is engaged in the rearing of stock. We wish him every success. On Thanksgiving evening, Mrs. Vivian Greenwood of 225 W. Eleventh avenue entertained twenty-five of her friends at a progressive whist and dancing party. The first ladies' prize was won by Miss Alberta Hickman; second prize, Mrs. Claribel Parker, and booby, Mrs. Bessie Jackson.

Hiram Commandery No. 20, in spite of two postponed events, due to uncontrollable conditions, demonstrated its ability for catering to the pleasurable taste of the public, when their efforts met with such success as attended them last week Friday evening in their grand ball at the City Auditorium. An ideal evening specially ordered by the clerk of the weather, was the fore-runner of a number of limousines, bearing occupants whose delightful appearances were evidences of the great treat in store for them and which they enjoyed immensely after they graced the specially prepared floor. The Knight Templars, in their regulation uniform, stood out conspicuously among the variegated specially designed gowns of the ladies, and the season's fashions seemed to vie with the conventional dress attire of the men, who fought gallantly for supremacy in the recognition of spectators who occupied the boxes. Morrison's augmented orchestra, with its added brilliancy and colorful features of harmony, improved the attractiveness of the terpsichorean art, and up to the hour of midnight catered to an increasing round of pleasure. The management, consisting of Messrs: Frank S. Reed, Andrew Riley, L. Stamps, J. Gardner and John M. Anderson, came in for the highest commendation for offering such a rare treat to the public. SCOUTS ACTIVITIES OF NOV. 21 AND 27, BOOKER T. WASHINGTON DISTRICT. The Boy Scouts program was rendered at Shorter Chapel to a large audience. Opened by a selection of the choir, followed by the Scouts' Oath and laws, by Scouts and congregation. The address by Scout Underwood Spriggs held the congregation spellbound. His subject was "A Challenge to the Adult." Scoutmaster Dove and Assistant Scoutmaster Wm. Spriggs delivered a splendid address suitable for the occasion. The orchestra of Troop 53 rendered four selections, led by Scoutmaster Beckwith. This orchestra of boys is a credit to any community. Mr. Harry Townsend, the city wide secretary of the boy work of Denver, led a song service. Pianiste, Aristide Chapman. The Champion Scout Band favored us with several selections, giving us an idea of what they did in Europe. Mr. Malm, from headquarters, gave us words of encouragement. The Troop meet Nov. 27 was contested by Troops 50 and 53, both teams struggling hard to gain honors. The demonstration was knot tying, first aid and bandaging, stretcher race, fireman drag, fireman carry and signalling. Speed and accuracy were the points to be considered by the judges. Each Troop scored $14\frac{1}{2}$ points. W. E. Parks officiated. The District Committee appreciates your attendance and lives in hopes that you will encourage every Scout movement. The Scout Officers graduating class was held at East Denver High School Nov. 29. After the banquet and program diplomas were given to A. V. Gardner, G. C. King, E. Beckwith, Wm. Springs. CAMPBELL A.

Sunday afternoon last gave the relatives and large circle of friends an opportunity to gaze on the face of our beloved citizen, George C. Sample, and to pay their last respects to the memory of a man who had played his part on the ocean of life and rendered such service to his fellow men that, though he is dead, yet he lives in the hearts of men and his good works will not be easily effaced from their memory. The funeral arrangements, under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias lodge No. 11, were carried out in a manner that reflected the best expressions of the public for fraternal organizations and their efficient system. The cortege, led by the band from the Douglass undertaking parlors, 2745 Wenton street, consisted of members of the uniform rank and the three K. P. lodges—Damon No. 5, Pythias No. 11 and Syracuse No. 10. Members of the Odd Fellows' lodge were also in procession, the deceased being a member also of this order. The services were held at Campbell A. M. E. church, conducted by the Rev. A. M. Wilson, pastor, and ably assisted by Rev. Adams of Pueblo. A church packed to its capacity, with many persons on the outside on a day when the temperature was not so inviting was an evidence of the high esteem in which Mr. Sample was held, and quite an opportunity was afforded the Rev. Wilson for paying tribute to the deceased, as well as making an impressiveness that went home to the hearts of his hearers from the text: "I have fought the fight, I have kept the faith," etc., which he delivered in a manner that called for self-examination in the huge assembly. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook and C. S. Muse, grand chancellor of the K. P.'s, eulogized the deceased, while George Davis, chancellor commander of Pythias lodge No. 11, of which Mr. Sample was a foundation member, acted master of ceremonies and made very appropriate remarks on the life of the deceased. Floral offerings were rare and beautiful. The choir added much to the solemnity of the service and thus closed the last chapter of the life of a man who had served his country, his people, his God; having filled the honorable position of legislator of Colorado, being the second man of color to have been so honored; charitable to a fault to his fellowman and faithful to the trust reposed in him by his God. Interment was at Fairmount cemetery in the family lot. Peace Be to His Ashes. INTELLIGENT UNSELFISHNESS. CHRISTMAS GIFTS are neither more nor less than translated thoughts. A selfish or a careless Christmas gift is worth no more than a selfish or a careless thought to the receiver, no matter what its cost in money may have been. That is why many a youngster and many a grown-up also, finds Christmas day a time of bitter disillusionment and disappointment. Presents bought in selfish hope of return, or in careless fulfillment of obligation, or even for the fleeting pleasure of the moment can never bring real appreciation to the receiver or real pleasure to the giver. For they lack the essential elements of "good will" and thought for the future. None of us has had so much that we do not desire those dear to us to have more. None of us has lived so successfully that we do not desire others to avoid the mistakes we have made. The successful Christmas gifts are those which are based not on the selfish pleasure of the moment but on thought and care for the future. None of us knows the future, but each of us hopes for the future of those near to us. Scarcely a Christmas gift is dispatched in this country that is not accompanied by at least a perfunctory HOPE for the future. But it is possible to give gifts which carry not only a hope but an ASSURANCE for the future, gifts that develop character, that inspire success, that promote independence. You can give your youngsters a HABIT that is worth more than money. You can give them a training that should be a part of the equipment of every American. You can give them a protection against misfortune which will last them all their lives. AND THEY WILL LIKE THEIR PRESENTS What is more, you can make your presents cost what you will, and you can buy them at any postoffice. All you need do is ask for Government Savings Securities. No matter how slim or bulky your purse, they will fit it. No matter if you can afford no more than a 25-cent Thrift Stamp pasted on its card, you can do as much toward giving your boy or girl the habit of thrift and safe investment as the man who gives his children a $100 Treasury Savings Certificate. You can start your youngster on the may to financial independence and safety with a $5 War Savings Stamp as well as with a $1,000 Liberty Bono. When you give those sound securities, you put love and thought and good will into your gifts as well as money and you give happiness for the future as well as for the present. No matter what concrete form they take, YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ALL YOU CAN GIVE FOR CHRISTMAS. THINK IT OVER AND BUY GOVERNMENT SAVINGS SECURITIES. Buy W. S. S. Y. M. C. A. NOTES On account of the absence of the chairman from the city, the regular monthly meeting of the committee of management, which ordinarily would have been held on Wednesday, was postponed until next Wednesday evening, the 8th. At that meeting several important matters will come up for consideration, since it will be the last regular meeting for the year. It is hoped that every member of the committee will be present. The boys' meeting last Sunday afternoon had a good attendance, and was very helpful. Young Mr. Rucker, a student of Denver University, was the speaker. He told the boys of men Langdorf This Month The Denver Is a Great Christmas Bazaar Showing $2,500,000.00 Worth of Goods From Which to Make Your Selections Come Early and Get the Best Remember, that the big store has classy assortments of everything that people wear, both practical and ornamental; also everything, big and little, for furnishing and ornamenting every room in the house.

He urged the boys to begin making up their minds what they are going to be in life, and then when the time comes they can more readily bend their energies towards the attainment of their ends. The boys' meetings are held every Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. The regular men's meeting, which was held at four o'clock, was well attended, though the audience was much disappointed at not hearing the program they had hoped to hear, as many of those who had promised to appear failed to come. The meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon will be held at the "Y" building. Special duet music by Mrs. Clark Craig and Mr. Charles Clark. Father William O'Ryan will be the speaker.

"Why should I buy oranges and press out the juice for the baby when I can buy it already made?" said Mrs. Housekeeper, holding up a bottle containing a yellow beverage with a fanciful name and the picture of a delicous, yellow orange on the label. "This saves lots of work and is cheaper. Besides, the baby likes it real well." tion of the fruit or juice named. Such terms applied to products far essential oils or essen- Some few products are composed in whoi fruit juice, and it is purchasers may disti these genuine produc tions that the office "But this is not orange juice; it is only an imitation," said the food specialist, carefully examining the fancy label. "You said that your physician told you to give the baby orange juice. No physician would ever prescribe this concoction. Forget the picture of an orange and read the fine print on the label. In that the manufacturer pretends to comply with the provisions of the food and drugs act by partly correcting some of the misleading features of the label. You notice that he does not call it orange juice anywhere, but creates the impression that it is by the picture of an orange, and the use of a fanciful name which suggests orange fruit. The color of the orange is obtained by the use of an artificial dye. The only part of the orange in this stuff is perhaps a minute quantity of oil pressed from orange skin, or extracts from the dried peel, which carries the aroma and flavor of orange." Not Getting Orange Juice. "You mean to say my baby has not been getting any orange juice? The doctor said he needed it more than anything. No wonder he stayed sick." "The only orange your baby gets from this bottle is the smell," replied the food specialist. "Your physician prescribed orange juice for the baby because it contains certain organic acids which have medicinal value and also contains vitamins which are essential to growth. Your physician prescribed orange juice because the vitamins are lacking in sufficient quantity in pasteurized milk. But this concoction is essentially a sweetened, artificially carbonated water flavored with a little oil from the peel of the orange and colored to imitate orange juice. It contains none of the medicinal qualities or vitamins of orange juice." This incident, which might occur in any city of the United States, emphasizes the warning recently issued by the officials of the bureau of chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, to read carefully all labels on food and drug packages. National prohibition has resulted in the market being flooded with soft drinks, some of which are imitations of various fruit juices and sold under fanciful names in order to evade, if possible, the necessity of stating on the label what the product really is. Because of the deceptive nature of the label on some of these products, the officials in charge of the enforcement of the federal food and drugs act have instituted proceedings to require correct labeling. In the meantime, pending judicial decisions as to what is correct labeling of these products under the law, some manufacturers are continuing to put their deceptively labeled products on the market. Read Labels Carefully. While the labels referred to are grossly misleading on a casual reading such as is given by the average housewife, they usually do contain statements in a more or less inconspicuous way which will reveal to the careful, critical reader the fact that the product is not what it purports to be. These inconspicuous statements are usually placed on the labels for the purpose of evading the penalties for misbranding. The manufacturer hopes to mislead the purchasers by suggestive statements and pictures played up prominently on the label so as to attract instant attention, and escape the charge of misbranding by correcting the misleading features with inconspicuous statements in another part of the label which the average purchaser does not read. The officials have ruled that the terms "ade," "squash," "punch," "crush," and "smash," when used in conjunction with the name of a fruit can be applied correctly only to beverages which contain the edible per- tion of the fruit or juice of the fruit named. Such terms should not be applied to products flavored only with essential oils or essence. Some few products on the market are composed in whole or in part of fruit juice, and it is in order that purchasers may distinguish between these genuine products and the imitations that the officials insist upon correct labeling. Action WILL Be Instituted. Action will be instituted under the federal food and drugs act in all cases found to be in violation of its terms, say the officials. In the meantime, consumers who want real fruit juices should read very carefully the labels of preparations purporting to be such. It is not charged that these artificial preparations as a rule contain ingredients injurious to the health of adults. There is no objection to their sale under proper labels. However, they are in no sense substitutes for genuine fruit juices in that they lack the medicinal qualities characteristic of fruit juices. In no case, say the officials, should these artificial preparations be substituted for orange juice in feeding children. They do not have the valuable antiscorbatic properties and the health-giving vitamins, which are found in the delicious juice of the orange. The best way to get orange juice for children is to buy the fruit and press out the juice. THEORETICAL AMOUNT OF "A TEASPOONFUL" Correct Quantity Is Placed at 5 Cubic Centimeters. Housekeeper Measuring With a Teaspoon Should Fill It "Level," Not "Heaping," Says Office of Home Economics. Five cubic centimeters is what the bureau of standards has set as the theoretical quantity a teaspoon holds, but all spoons do not conform to this. The housekeeper measures with a teaspoon and should fill it "level," not "heaping." How many teaspoonfuls does a pound of baking powder contain? Apparently the number depends on yourself, upon the spoon used, upon the brand of baking powder you buy, upon the can in the lot which you happen to get, and upon a few other factors which, though seemingly inconsequential, do enter into the problem. A pound of baking powder lasts longer with some cooks than it does with others. In an endenvor to learn where the difference is made the experimental kitchen in the office of home economies of the United States Department of Agriculture recently conducted a series of experiments. Various types of cooking teaspoons were first experimented with to determine the exact amount held in each case. Both the ordinary teaspoon and those "measuring spoons" which are linked together in sets were tested. A variation of from 120 to 150 teaspoonfuls was found in the same pound can when different teaspoons were used. The personal equation also enters into the amount which is called a teaspoonful. It was found the differences due to individual manipulation ranged from 10 per cent to 30 per cent, a wider range of variation than those due to the different capacities of different teaspoons.

A dessert which is new and most wholesome is found in the following: Butterscotch Pudding.—Melt one cupful of brown sugar and two tablespoonfuls of butter over the fire and cook until melted and brown, but not burned. Pour over ding.—Melt one cupful of brown sugar and two tablespoonfuls of butter over the fire and cook until melted and brown, but not burned. Pour over the mixture two cupfuls of hot milk and simmer ten minutes until all is dissolved. Meanwhile soak a one-inch slice of bread in cold water until soft, press out all the water and crumble into bits. Pour the milk, sugar and butter mixture over the bread and beat in the yolks of two eggs, a little salt and a small teaspoonful of vanilla. Pour into a buttered baking dish and bake in a pan of water twenty-five minutes. Beat the whites of the eggs until stiff, add two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, the juice of half a lemon, beat again. Spread over the pudding and brown in a moderate oven. Apple Cake.—Line a deep plate with pastry. Mix together one-half cupful each of raisins and nuts, three-quarters of a cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful of cinnamon and sprinkle over the crust. On top of this arrange three greening apples, sliced rather thin. Pour over the apples one cupful of milk mixed with one egg; sprinkle the whole with two table-spoonfuls of sugar and a little more cinnamon and dot with bits of butter. Bake 45 minutes in a slow oven, reducing the heat toward the last. Fried Apples and Onions.—Heat the frying pan, add one-third of a cupful of meat drippings and when hot turn in two pints of sliced onions; cook gently adding one and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt and two tablespoonfuls of sugar; after ten minutes of cooking add three pints of quartered tart apples. Cover and cook until the apples are tender. Serve hot as a garnish for broiled pork chops. Cranberry Jelly.—Take one quart of cranberries, one pint of sugar and one cupful of water. Cook the berries in the water five or ten minutes, covered. When well broken with a pestle press the pulp through a strainer, a perforated one, not wire; stir in the sugar and when well mixed pour into a large mold or individual molds. Let stand until the next day. Apple Sandwich.—Chop one large apple, and one-third of a cupful of raisins very fine. Butter thin slices of bread, spread with the mixture, sprinkle with a little lemon juice and cover with other slices. Verily we men have problems to solve that would test a Solomon.

A ripe olive yields twice as many calories, or heat units, as the green, and is nearly equivalent to bread, which we consider the staff of life. The ripe olive is little known in the greater part of the United States. equivalent to bread, which we consider the staff of life. The ripe olive is little known in the greater part of the United States. Those who become accustomed to it like it far better than the green olive, and it is more easily digested as well as more rich in food than the green olive. Ripe olives because of their flavor, which is very delicate, are especially good in meat sauces, dressings and made dishes. A half-dozen ripe olives chopped fine and added to the giblet sauce to serve with roast chicken or turkey, is especially fine. Olive Sauce.—Melt four tablespoonfuls of butter and a teaspoonful of chopped chives, and cook until softened. Remove the chives, add five tablespoonfuls of flour and a half-teaspoonful of salt with a few dashes of pepper; add two cupfuls of brown stock and cook until thick. Cut one dozen olives from the plits, cover with boiling water for five minutes, drain and add to the sauce. Serve with meat or game. Hawaiian Salad.—Place a slice of pineapple on a leaf of lettuce. On it arrange alternate sections of orange and grapefruit. Between each piece place one-eighth section of a ripe olive. In the center of the pineapple place a ball made of cream cheese seasoned with mayonnaise, to hold it together. Sprinkle with paprika and serve with French dressing. The pineapple or other fruit juices may be used in place of the vinegar in the dressing. Pass mayonnaise for the salad. Olive Salad.—Take four tart apples, one stalk of celery, or rather bunch, one-half cupful of walnut meats and three-fourths of a cupful of pitted olives, ripe. Cut the celery, apples and olives into jellene strips. Add the nuts, molten with mayonnaise and serve in a nest of lettuce. Nellie Maxwell ( @. 1920, Western Newspaper Union.)

That’s Fair Isn’t It? @THE @ (OTe ‘Rieti Esglon Nowe serviced” PASSES ON LEGAL MATTERS Robert A. Adams, Judge Advocate, Rose From Rank of Private to That of Major. Robert A. Adams, recently appointed national Judge advocate of the Amer!- can Legion by the national executive committee, rose from the rank of a private in the Eighty-fourth divt- ston at Camp Tay- lor to that of major during his army career. Mr. Adams went overseas with the Thirty - first heavy artillery bri- gade and served in (Pa aa the Alsne-Marne, Olse-Alsne and Ar- gonne-Meuse offensives. After the ces- sation of hostilities he was assigned to duty in the judge advocate general's office at G. H. Q. He served fourteen months in the A. B. F. When Legion officals at National headquarters at Indianapolis decided early in January that {t was necessary to enlist the services of a legal adviser to thrash out the knotty problems of eligibility, interpretation of statutes affecting the Legion and other legal matters, Mr. Adams was appointed to fill the position. His appointment to the new position came as a result of efficient service as legal adviser after ‘an amendment was made to the Legion constitution at the Cleveland conven- ‘tlon, which authorized the creation of the office of national Judge advocate. Mr. Adams has practiced law since 1916 and is associated with a promi- nent Indianapolis law firm. He Is a graduate of Washington and Jefferson college, and also attended Harvard law school. He 1s twenty-nine years old. The dutles of the office consist in the supervision of the legal depart ment of the Legion, the employment of counsel in law suits In which the Legion 1s involved, interpretation of legal questions, and the adjustment of questions of eligibility. TO BUILD WOMEN’S AUXILIARY Legion Administrative Machinery to Be Used in Safely Launching the MreneikiOraanikation. Assurance that the administrative machinery of the American Legion will be used without stint in an effort to build up the Women’s auxillary, has been given by National Comman- der F, W. Galbraith, Jr. It is expect- ed that the auxiliary will take charge of its own destinies next spring, with the holding of the first national con- vention of the women’s units. “All doubts and misgivings In regard to the future of the Women’s auxillary of the American Legion were removed, and a system of orderly expansion in state departments and a national or- ganization was provided for by the Cleveland convention,” announced Mr. Galbraith, “We propose to offer the ald of our organization in building up the aux- iliary, but we are not going to meddle with its policies so long as our rec- ognized ideals and purposes are car- ried out. ‘The Cleveland convention voted to let the women swim without water wings. It authorized state exec- utive committees of the Legion to call state conventions and to establish de- partment organizations of the auxil- fary, killing the rule which made nee- essary the establishment of a total of units equivalent to 50 per cent of the number of posts in the department.” AIDED IN GROWTH OF LEGION Rev. John W. Inzer, National Chap- lain, Long Identified With Activi- tles of Veterans’ Organization. ‘As national chaplain for the en- oning veer the American Legion has in Rev. John W.

Dr. Inzer, who was born in Hamll- ton county, ‘Texas, January 6, 1800, entered the ministry at the age of fineteen, his first pastorate being in Birmingham, Ala. He volunteered his services as chaplain in the army after the war broke out and served with the Fourteenth infantry in the Northwest and at Camp Dodge, Towa, where he was sentor chaplain for three months. ‘Atter the armistice he moved to Camp Grant, Tit., where he served until March, 1919, He married Miss Marie eattb of Alabama in December, 1918.

Warne, the post adjutant, “this is the only post In Peru, and cer- tainly in this district of Peru, known as the Junin Pampa.

It ts the largest camp and town In the dis- trict including Aroya, Meorococha, La Fundicion and Casapalea. “The name ‘Top of the World,’ was unanimously selected as an excellent name tor the post, due to the fact that we are at an altitude of a little more than 14,500 feet and we believe we are the highest post in the Legion.” The post is planning to conduct a membership drive in tke surrounding territory.

USE ALL PERSUASIVE MEASURES POSSIBLE TO PREVENT BLOODSHED. ‘Weatern Newspaper Union News Service. ‘Priest, Dec, 8—The Italian fleet sta- tioned at Pola steamed up the Gulf of Quarnero, maneuvered in the bay be- fore Fiume and then slowly passed close to the mouth of the harbor, as in review. The warships, with guns displayed, presented a powerful appearance in contrast to D'Annunzio’s little fleet of one dreadnought, four destroyers and smaner craft moored at the Fiume wharves. Some of D'Annunzio’s soldiers on the shore emptied their rifles at the fleet, but no casualties resulted. ‘The cutting off of communication with Fiume by both land and sea is re- garded as imminent, Declaration of a state of war with Ttaly, which was made by Capt. Gabri- ele @Annunzio, is not regarded in a ‘serious light by military commanders here. There is warlike activity in Fl- ume, however, and the sound of can- non and rifle fire may be heard along the Gulf of Quarnero, Superior officers in @’Annunzio’s army continue to abandon the poet sol- dier. ‘The army is estimated to number 4,000. “Things cannot go on this way,” said a grizzled old artillery colonel to the Assocluted Press last night, “I hope the war talk is all a joke, for enough blood has been shed.” General Caviglia, commander of Italian regular troops, which have thrown a cordon around Flume, said he would use all persuasive means tc induce D'Annunzio’s men to surrende! before he would resort to coercion. “So far we have not fired one sho! against the legionnalres of | Fiume, General Caviglia declared. “They have many against us and even agams' some of my generals, “They have conducted raids on gov ernment property, but I have given or ders not to fire and my troops hav obeyed, “It is Italy's duty to rectify the sit uation In Flume.

The imitation of natural furs is very successful in these fabrics, and the newer styles in woven furs that do not take natural pelts as their model are frankly presented as rivals of nature's product. They are handsomer than many of the cheaper skins and far more durable, as well as far easier to make up into garments, so that there is a great saving on the cost of labor in making them up. Nevertheless they are not in the class of cheap garments except by comparison with very costly furs. Two coats of woven furs as shown in the picture above may be recommended as a good investment since they will wear indefinitely. The coat at the left imitates sealskin, is cut in an ample capellike style with sleeves Sweaters Play THERE are sweaters and sweaters —more or less useful or ornamental, but those best worth discussing are the practical, everyday affairs that play a useful and cheerful part in winter apparel. They provide warmth and color and they are closely and attractively machine knitted in a variety of styles, and of designs in weaving or knitting. As to styles, the coat-sweater and the slipover-hold the center of the stage and they are usually in one color although among coat- sweaters there are found a sprinkling of those that use angora wool in wide collars or in bands. Popular colors are king's blue, emerald green, red- dish-purple, Burgundy, warm browns, tan, rose and belge—with a few in pale tones of blue, rose-green and tan. Among those knitted of angora wool there are a few in white and among the others a few in black, but colors predominate. Two examples of the one-color sweaters appear in the picture above, one of them a sweater coat with long sleeves and cuffs that hug the wrists. It is trim and close fitting with a knitted border that forms the collar. By means of drop stitches or other devices possible in machine-made sweaters as well as in those that are hand knitted, the direction of the stitches in one with the garment. It is very long, falling almost to the bottom of the skirt. and has a deep collar of squirrel fur which adds an expensive item to its makeup. The wide cuffs of the material are adorned with big and handsome square buttons. The hat worn with this rich-looking affair has a coronet, split at each side, and faced with squirrel fur. The coat at the right looks something like caracul fur and is finished with collar and cuffs of the material. It is long, ample and straight hanging except that it is cut to slope in toward the bottom. The sleeves, as in nearly all coats this season, are very full. A round hat of velvet, with feather trimming is worn with it. Both coats are in the best of style and as rich as anyone could wish for. Every year finds the manufacturers of these woven furs adding new achievements in coatings to their list of successes. a Cheerful Part is varied to form striped effects and to make collar and cuffs. This coat has a knitted belt that slips through slides at the sides and buttons across the front with flat buttons. In these new sweaters the buttons are colored to match the wool. The other sweater is a snug-fitting silpover with a border at the bottom made by running the stitches in a vertical direction in groups. It has a "V" shaped neck finished with a cord crocheted of the wool and ending in small tassels. Manufacturers employ the variation stitches in innumerable ways that contribute to the fit and the decoration of machine-made sweaters. Those that show a basket weave and those that achieve striped effects—in one color—by means of drop or other stitches are in greater demand than the plain ones.
