White Terror in the South
VOL. XXVII.
White Terror
The Ku Klux Klan to keep the Negr
DEMOCRACY is festering in the southeastern corner of the United States. In no other part of this country is the right of a free born citizen to cast his ballot so brazenly and so brutally denied. In no other section is there so little faith that the will of the majority, expressed at the polls, will work itself out, somehow, into wisdom of action. Elsewhere, in other states, the spirit of violence flares forth fitfully in deeds of violent disrespect for the law and the rights of human beings under that law. But nowhere is it so general, so determined, and so maddened as in the southern states where the Negro came in slavery and is now denied the rights of citizenship that were granted him in the Fifteenth amendment.
The Ku Klux Klan has been revived in the South. The only real reason for the revival of that infamous organization is fear and hatred of the Negro and determination to keep him "in his place." Leaders of the organization deny this, but the actions of its members are proof enough that the klan, organized to frighten the Negro in his newly freed childhood, is now active to terrorize him in his young manhood. In the New Republic's issue of Jan. 12 is a frank recital of "Election by Terror in Florida," by Walter F. White—a graduate of Atlanta university, who has investigated thirty-six lynchings and five race riots in the last three years.
The South fears the Negro voter. It fears the Negro woman voters even more than the Negro men. The Ku Klux Klan exists to frighten these citizens into submissive voting or to keep them altogether away from the polls. On the night of Oct. 30, the Saturday before the national election, parades of the klans were advertised in many southern cities and towns—with intent to warn the Negroes. The parades did not frighten. Instead they acted as an incentive to bring to the polls many Negroes who might otherwise have been indifferent.
The Jacksonville Metronolis of Sept. 16 carried the scare head: "Democracy in Duval County is Endangered by Very Large Registration of Negro Women." On election day at one polling place 4,000 Negroes were cheated of the right to vote; in Orange county Mose Norman was driven from the polls because it was generally considered he was too prosperous for a "nigger" and the result was a riot in which twenty houses, two churches, a school house and a lodge hall were burned, and from fifty to sixty Negroes killed; in Quincy a Negro physician was spat upon and threatened with death if he wiped the sputum from his face—because he had advised others of his race to register and vote.
These are mere indications of the situation in the South, a state of affairs that exists not because of actual crimes of the Negro, but because of white determination to prevent him from exercising his legal freedom. This South, whose material prosperity depends so greatly on the Negro, is drifting into spiritual bankruptcy, and

NEGROES ARM AGAINST NORTH
CAROLINA MOB.
Warrenton, N. C.—While a mob of white men which killed two Negroes alleged to have been ringleaders in a riot at Norlina is surrounding the county jail here today, threatening to lynch eleven more Negroes confined in the building, the Negro population of this town is said to be arming.
Raleigh county officials have learned that Gov. Morrison has instructed the adjutant general to have a company of militia ready to proceed here to quell any riot which may be started by the intense excitement which has prevailed all night.
The nearest troops are at Henderson, sixteen miles away. Gov. Morrison, advised after midnight that groups of men, masked and armed, were assembling here and that a repetition on a larger scale of the violence of yesterday was in prospect, ordered that additional officers be sworn in and that the prisoners in jail be protected at all costs.
Yesterday's riot in which four white men and two Negroes were wounded, several of them quite seriously, culminated early today when a mob of white men caught Alfred Williams and Plummer Bullock, Negroes, said to have been leaders in the riot, and shot them to death. Eleven other Negroes were saved from the mob by county officials who hurried them into cells before any one realized what was happening.
Every day in the paper we have occasion to take a slant at some article telling us that in some spot of this little old U. S. A., some dude or dudess is plastering the statute books all up with blue laws. Some claim that you must go to the lockup if you take a draw on the old corn cob; one grocer was handed a fifty roller fine because he sold some crackers, and in another instance a poke was landed on the jail lounge because he was shoveling the winter feathers off his front walk. What do you think about it? The only reason why we won't express ourselves effectively is because ladies have to read this here paper. Hot isn't any adjective for us to use. We aren't a degree short of absolute high temperature. We only hope that if the blue law brothers and sisters ever get the fatal swing, that they will jug everybody that even peeps on Sunday. Jug the preacher who preaches for his beans and bacon change on Sunday; jug the choir singer and the pipe organ plunker; jug the jay who tries to get out a Sunday paper; jug the telephone girl who tries to connect you up with your best girl on Sunday; jug the gas company and the electric light company for letting you have light on

DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5 1921
Sunday; jug the wife for cooking your meals on Sunday; jug the furnace for delivering heat on Sunday; jug the water faucet for spouting water on Sunday; in fact, jug everybody and everything. That's the only kind of a blue Sunday to have. If you are going to make it blue, make it a dark deep navy blue in a color that won't run. Them's our sentiments. We don't believe in doing anything half way. If you are going to do it, do it right. Maybe you might think this blue haze to things is a joke, but if you do you have another think coming. There are some wild pumpkins in this country crazy enough to do anything and the only way to handle 'em is to dose 'em heavy on their own dope. Make 'em so blue that the ocean will become ashamed of itself and blush pink.—The Monitor, Omaha.
NEGRO TENOR TAKES LONDON BY STORM
(From Africa and Oriental Review.) Mr. Roland Hayes rewarded the patience of his growing public by a second recital, which he gave at Wigmore hall on the evening of Oct. 28. A large and enthusiastic audience was present to record its appreciation of a varied program, and if some of the applause was probably intended as a tribute to Mr. Hayes the man, more must have come from the large number of discriminating music lovers who have already gained a true appreciation of a singer whose greatness we now venture with no undue timidity to proclaim.
Before the close of the concert Mr. Hayes was presented with a large laurel wreath and a floral tribute was offered to Mr. Lawrence Brown, his very able accompanist, byappreciative friends in the audience.
When the concert was over a few of the most prominent and representative people of African origin in London, headed by Mr. Archer (Anglo-African), ex-mayor of Battersea, presented Mr. Hayes with an address. The subscribers to the floral tribute were Duse Mohamed Ali (Egypt), who organized the presentation; Messrs, G. and H. O'Dwyer (Calabar), W. F. Dove (Accra), R. Broadhurst (Sierra Leone), Claud Ennis (Winnibah), Chief Oluwa (Lagos), the Hon. Senator Fredericks (West Indies), Dr. O. Sapar and Mr. T. H. Doherty of Lagos.
So great was the success of Mr. Hayes' concert that he was induced to give a third recital on the afternoon of Nov. 20 before a large and demonstrative audience. With this third appearance he has so firmly established himself that he was selected out of the many American singers now in London to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Thanksgiving dinner arranged by the Anglo-American Society. Among the guest were the American Ambassador and Mr. Davis.
Mrs. H. Gordon Selfridge, Lady Rhondda and a number of other personages prominent on both sides of the Atlantic. In the words of the Times report: The American national hymn was sung by Mr. Roland Hayes, a Negro. Time brings its strange revenges.
DOWN IN GEORGIA
Either Mr. Hooper Alexander, United States District Attorney in Atlanta, is wrought up to the point of "seeing things" that are not there, or conditions in one of the finest old Commonwealths of the South are in a pretty bad way.
In fact, they could hardly be in a much worse way, so far as the relations between Whites and Negroes are concerned, if the charges made by Mr. Alexander are substantiated. In connection with a recent peonage indictment, Mr. Alexander made himself responsible for the statement that wrongs against Negroes in Georgia "run all the gamut from the meanest of petty cheating to deliberate and plotted murder." He avers further that comparatively little effort is being made by the proper officers to end these deplorable conditions. He even goes so far as to say that "in a large proportion of the judicial processes are issued by magistrates that are used in the most shameless manner in the aid of crimes, and the attendant circumstances are such as should call for indictment for malpractice."
Mr. Alexander is certainly right when he says that ninety per cent. of the people of Georgia "would utterly deplore and condemn" what he does not hesitate to affirm is going on in that state. Ninety per cent. of the people of Georgia are law-abiding, honorable citizens of the Republic. They are proud of their state. But Mr. Alexander says also that "something more is demanded of a civilized people than mere sentiment."
Unquestionably. And if Mr. Alexander succeeds in bringing indisputable proof of even one-half of the sweeping assertions he makes as to conditions in Georgia, we have not a shadow of doubt that ninety per cent. of the Georgia people will give much more emphatic expression to their loathing of such conditions than is implied in the epithet "sentimental." — Harvey's Weekly.

MRS. HARDING GREETS THE COL ORED WOMEN OF THE NATION.
Mrs. Harding, wife of President-elect Harding, was interviewed by a representative of this bureau. She was extremely busy packing and preparing to move from her Wyoming Avenue home but was willing to spare the time to extend a greeting of cheer to the colored people of the nation.
She said, "I thank the colored press for the support which they gave to Senator Harding."
When introduced to Mrs. M. L. Gray, president of the Negro Women's National Republican League, she extended her hand with a smile that one could see came from the heart, stated: "The wonderful support that was given to Senator Harding by the colored women of our great nation shall ever be green in my memory, and I know Senator Harding will give to the colored citizens of our nation a square deal."
WALTER M. MOORE TAKES SEAT
Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 26—Walter M. Moore of St. Louis, the first Negro in the history of Missouri to be elected a member of the lower House of the Legislature, has been assigned a prominent seat in the hall of the House of Representatives by Commissioner of the Permanent Seat of Government, Judge Louis Ratliff.
The seat assigned to the St. Louis Representative for the session is No. 75 and in the first row on the main aisle and directly facing the Speaker. It is a position in the House that is always much sought after, particularly by old members, who expect to take active part in legislation and may frequently desire recognition of the Speaker.
Representative Moore's desk was buried in flowers when he was inaugurated.
HANDICAPPED BY RACIAL PREJU DICE.
Mr. A. L. Jackson, himself a Negro, takes up the cudgels for his race in the February Forum. He says:
"As with the Indian, so it has been with the Negro. In most every field of endeavor his demonstrations of ability and fitness have had to be on a racial basis. He has had no other choice. Therefore, many achievements by Negro men and women have been to him not so much accomplishments of talented individuals, but racial accomplishments, refuting the constantly repeated assertion of pre-ordained inferiority.
"For generations the Negro has been looked upon as a predistined tiller of the soil. Any effort to break down this notion was frowned upon. So he tilled the soil in an effort to satisfy ignorant and unscientific overseers and plantation owners, until the day came when, following the advice of wiser men, he began acquiring his own land. Today more than 220,000 Negroes are owners of their own farms; 672,964 are renters or share croppers looking forward to the day when they will be owners; $492,892,218 worth of farm-building stock and equipment are owned by these tilters of the soil."
BY THE COLORED SYNDICATE PRESS BUREAU.
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, and Senator Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina, oppose the Johnson compensation bill because it will benefit thousands or more colored employés of the nation. Senator Johnson of California is pushing his bill with all the vigor at his command and states that every man in the employment of the government, regardless of color, will be benefited by this bill. Color does not interest me, the senator stated; it is for the masses of the people that I am pushing this bill.
I do not propose to enter into an academic discussion of the necessity for this sort of a measure, nor do I propose, except as addenda to my remarks in explanation of the bill, to take the statistical reports of the various organizations concerning the necessary cost of living today. I wish, however, to impress upon the Senate one paramount fact, and that, is that any man who gives a decent day's work is entitled to a decent day's pay, and $3 is scarcely that. After all, it is ordinary people who determine the necessary cost of living. It is the ordinary man's life which determines finally what is a living wage, what is, indeed, a sum under which, as an American citizen, he may be permitted to pursue his vocation and may be permitted to live as an American and to enjoy those things which Americans ought to enjoy.

PROF. GIBSON, ARKANSAS TEACHER SHOT TO DEATH
Shot Down in Cold Blood on Street of Helena by Night Watchman for Saying He Was a Man.
Helena, Ark., Jan. 13.—One of the most dreadful tragedies the Race of the city of Helena has ever been called upon to witness is the killing of Prof. J. W. Gibson, Thursday night, Dec. 23.
It appears that Prof. Gibson came into the city on the Missouri Pacific train by the way of Brinkley from Cotton Plant, where he was engaged in farming, which reaches this city about 7:35 in the evening, and after going to a barber shop, lower Cherry, to be shaved, he returned to the corner of Cherry and Missouri street and was waiting for a street car to go to his home in Midland Heights, when he was accosted by the night watchman and asked to give him (the watchman) the shotgun, which he (Gibson) had. It is stated that Prof. Gibson told the watchman that he did not have any shells for the gun, and that the statement was made in a mild manner, and the watchman asked him why he did not have shells for the gun, and that Prof. Gibson replied that he did not need any. Then it is stated that the watchman asked Prof. Gibson what he had in his hand bag, and demanded it of Prof. Gibson, and he gave it to him and the watchman proceeded to search the bag, finding in it books and papers, he demanded to know of Prof. Gibson, "What kind of a nigger is you?" and Prof. Gibson replied that he was a man the same as he (watchman) was, to which the watchman replied by striking Prof. Gibson in the face and snatching the shotgun from his hands and striking him and demanded him to pick up his hand bag and get in front of him and march up Cherry street.
It is reported that sometime after this, Dr. J. W. Jennings, the druggist on Missouri street, phoned to the jail and asked the watchman to release Prof. Gibson and that he (Jennings) would see that he would be in court when wanted, and he replied that "I have just killed that d——Nigger." The body was turned over to the undertaking establishment of Harraway and Cunningham and held by them against the wishes of the relatives and others interested until late Friday afternoon, when in order to get the body, the relatives had to pay for the embalming of the body and buy a coffin from them.
An inquest was begun over the remains Saturday afternoon and was adjourned over Tuesday, Dec. 28. Prof. Gibson is one of the well respected citizens of this community and was identified with everything for the advancement of the community and for her ace, and stood high in all kinds of lodges, being a Mason with all the degrees from the first to the thirty-third.

Brick making companies with headquarters at Ogden, Utah, announced a cut of from 15 to 25 per cent in the cost of brick, which they said brings the price virtually to pre-war levels. Common brick was quoted at $12.50 a thousand at the yards. The Nashville Railway and Light Company was fined $2,000 in a case in which it was alleged to have violated the statute providing for the separation of the races on street cars.

Suit to escheat to the state forty-one acres of land comprising a farm formerly owned by J. J. Gledhill and latter sold to the U. N. Farms Company, alleged to be a Japanese concern, has been filed at Yuba, Calif., in the name of the state.
Sale of thrift stamps and other treasury securities was greater per capita in Alaska during 1920 than in any state, the Treasury Department has announced. The average investment in Alaska by every man, woman and child was $2.20. Ohio led the states with a per capita of $1.50.
A bill to make highway robbery punishable with a life sentence in the penitentiary has been introduced in the Montana Legislature. Senator Slattery, sponsor of the measure, said the act was designed "to keep out of the state undesirables who are creating crime waves elsewhere."
Whipping posts for habitual criminals was advocated by William A. Pinkerton, dean of American sleuths and head of the Pinkerton Detective agency, in Los Angeles, on a tour of inspection of his western offices. "The probation laws in California and all through the country are rotten," he declared. "That is the only word that aptly describes them. Abolish them without delay and go one step farther and establish whipping posts for highwaymen and prowlers. It is the one sure thing that will break criminals of the dangerous class."
WASHINGTON
The Senate has confirmed the nominations of 5,000 junior officers of the army. The confirmations were the first of the present session and were made in open session by unanimous consent.

William Musselman, 10-year-old son of a Fruita rancher, was almost instantly killed when he fell from a pony he was riding. The lad was riding the pony and driving home his father's cows when the accident occurred.
Work at Longmont has started in wrecking the city hall to make way for a new $50,000 municipal building. The new hall will contain council chambers, rest rooms, a gymnasium and office rooms for city officials.
Among the chief needs which will be discussed at the annual meeting of the Grand Junction Chamber of Commerce in February, the need of advertising western Colorado's wonderland to the world will receive great attention. A plan will be discussed for an advertising campaign which will virtually introduce to new fields the possibilities of that part of Colorado.
Mrs. Bertha M. Dickey, who entered a desert claim on land six miles from Climarron a year ago and whom the government has tried to dispossess upon the claim that the land was too rough for cultivation and therefore should be re-designated as grazing land, won in a contest case heard in the Montrose land office after she had proved by several witnesses that the land was actually in cultivation, having been plowed with a tractor last fall.
Uncle Sam paid the Colorado State Highway Department approximately $552,122.78 as the government share of the constructed federal aid road work in the state during 1920, according to District Engineer J. S. Bright of the United States Bureau of Public Routes. "This money represents the federal payments on forty-seven projects under construction or completed through the state," Bright said. "Twenty-two separate projects were completed during the year at a total estimated cost of $1,036,835.44, of which the federal government was requested to pay $410,967.86."
Charles T. Stockton, furniture dealer of Bristol for a number of years, is dead, and four other persons are in the hospital suffering serious injuries as the result of an accident which occurred six miles between Bristol and Holly. The injured are Joseph Zellars, who is suffering from a broken leg; G. R. Hite, badly bruised, and Henry Thompson and Ernest Burke severely bruised about the face and body. Stockton, Zellars, Thompson and Burke, all of Bristol, were en route home from Holly when the machine in which they were riding collided with a horse and buggy being driven by G. R. Hite, who is a well-known Prowers county farmer. It is said a blinding snow storm was the cause of the accident.
No state with the exception of Montana has shown so rapid an increase in the acreage of land under cultivation in the past decade as Colorado, and few states have shown a larger percentage of increase in the number of farms. Within the past ten years approximately 10,000,000 acres of government land has been homesteaded, while large areas of privately-owned land have been broken and placed under cultivation. Records of the State Immigration Department show that this movement has been much stronger in the past five years than in the preceding five years, and that there was an actual decrease in the population of the state during the first two years after the 1910 census was compiled. The increase in subsequent years has been due primarily to agricultural development, which has been much more marked in the non-irrigated than in the irrigated districts.
Thleaves who have been getting such good hauls of late at Grand Junction met with a different reception at the S. B. Parker home in that city. The intruders were greeted by a volley of shots from the Parker family arsenal and the neighbors took up the fusilade, sending the would-be robbers away at a record clip.
Decision to withhold financial support from the Colorado School of Mines magazine and refuse to furnish headquarters in the school buildings for the editor of the publication, was voted by the board of trustees of the school at a recent meeting, at which publication of an article derogatory to the institution was considered.
Jose Ramon of Cordova, Colo., will receive $1,035 for injuries received in an old Apache Indian uprising, in which he fought as a federal soldier, if the United States Senate passes a bill making the appropriation which was reported on favorably by the committee on claims. The lower house already has passed this bill, and also one of a similar kind to aid Mrs. Joseph C. Akins, the widow of an officer killed in the uprising. The latter bill has not been reported out, however.
Noncoloradoans attending the University of Colorado next and subsequent quarters will be charged just twice the present rate, according to an order made public by the Board of Regents. The tuition fee in the college of liberal arts, engineering school and school of pharmacy is to be $20 a quarter, the tuition for the law school will be $25 a quarter. The new fees will materially increase the revenues of the university, and will probably have little effect upon the present attendance. The registration is now past the 2,000 mark.

While the farm population in the country as a whole has increased much less rapidly in the past decade than the population of the cities, in Colorado the population of the farming districts has grown more rapidly than that of the cities. Figures announced by the federal census bureau and compiled in the office of the State Immigration Department show that the rural population of Colorado is now 51.76 per cent of the total population, compared with 49.3 per cent in 1910. In the United States the rural population is now 48.7 per cent of the total, compared with 53.7 per cent in 1910. The rural population in Colorado in 1920 is 486,370, compared with 394,184 in 1910, the increase being over 23 per cent. The urban population in 1920 was 453,259, compared with 404,840 in 1910, the increase being slightly less than 12 per cent. In the United States as a whole the increase in urban population in the past decade was 28.6 per cent, while the increase in rural population was only 3.1 per cent. These figures show clearly that, while there was a strong movement from the farms to the cities in the country as a whole, the movement in the Rocky Mountain states was from the cities to the farms, and that this movement was especially strong in Colorado and Montana.

The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West
The total school population of Colorado is 250,813, and on this basis Miss Katherine L. Craig, state superintendent of public instruction, apportioned a total of $361,148.18 to the sixty-three counties of the state. Of this sum, Denver receives $72,959.85, the largest single amount apportioned. This was the semi-annual apportionment of the state school fund. The amount distributed represents a total of $1.39 for each pupil, as compared with $1.73 given out last July. Miss Craig announced the sum of $1,733.73 withheld from the State Teachers' college by mistake last July was allotted this time. El Paso and Weld counties were the second and third largest beneficlaries from the fund, receiving $15,760.48 and $23,996.18, respectively.

Wade, chairman of the Denver branch of the Military Training Association, has been advised, by telegraphic communication from New York that the Congressional committee on military affairs has assured the appropriation of adequate funds to provide for the establishment of eighteen summer training camps during 1921. A joint committee of the Training Camps Association and the American Legion appeared before the Congressional body and outlined the needs, which include the establishment of two camps in the Ninth corps area, in which Denver is included. An effort is being made to establish one of the camps near Denver, Fort Logan having been suggested as a suitable location.
Upward of 1,500 shopmen and trackmen living in Denver and nearly 200 others on the Colorado division of the Union Pacific are affected by a reduction in working hours which has been announced. The shopmen are to have a five-day week instead of a five- and one-half day week, while trackmen will work five days instead of six. This method is taken in preference to cutting the force.
Two thousand carloads of choice Greeley potatoes will be ruined in the dugouts unless unexpected relief is obtained for the farmers. Potatoes are now selling at less than 50 per cent of the cost of the crop and apparently available markets will take only a very small percentage of the 3,000 carloads of sound potatoes in the hands of dealers and farmers.

The hatchery already has on hand 400,000 fry about thirty days old. R. G. Haviland, superintendent of the hatchery, announces that within thirty days he will begin the construction of a fish nursery pond in front of the hatchery 200 by 50 feet, and that the fish from the hatchery will be grown in this pond until they are finger length before they will be released in the streams.

Following the recovery of travelers checks negotiable for an amount in excess of $2,000, stolen from the mails near Sedgwick, Colo., on Christmas day, federal authorities arrested W. E. Gifford, 41 year old, employed as a section hand near that point, after he asked the station agent, it is alleged, if he would be paid a reward for the recovery of the money. Immediately after the theft of the mail pouches containing the checks federal agents and Union Pacific inspectors were dispatched to the scene, and two Mexicans were placed under arrest.

DID YOU DREAM OF MONEY?
WHEN it comes to a matter of money the oracles seem to dispute over "filthy lucre" just as ordinary mortals are apt to do. Some of them say that to dream of finding money is a bad sign, indicating losses; and dreaming of losing money is a good sign, indicating gain; probably working on the "dreams go by contraries" hypothesis. But the best and most eminent authorities do not agree to this. Some of them admit that to dream of finding money signifies worries, but declare that out of these temporary worries great good will come; while others content themselves with the statement that to dream of finding money is lucky. All agree that to dream of losing money is a sign of good business, though one authority darkly hints that you may have a spat with your wife—if you have one—after

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed—How to Get Ahead—How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
WELFARE WORK
IT IS certain that welfare work in the big industrial and commercial enterprises is going to see a great expansion. It has been proved that it pays. And once that proof is recognized, no plant that has a forward looking policy is going to be without its welfare department, and its trained welfare expert. This work is especially suited to women, and it is up to a woman who wishes to enter the field to get her necessary training and then go out after the job. She will land it, for the supply of good welfare workers is far below the growing demand.
It is becoming generally known to even the most reactionary of employers that a contented body of workers is their safest and soundest asset. The woman who is able to reconcile differences between the employees and the employer, who can explain the one to the other, is often able to avoid a disastrous strike. Of course, such a woman must understand the proper installation of rest-rooms, the managing of luncheons at cost, the proper airing and warming of the workrooms. But even more necessary is it that she should have the power to win the confidence and respect of those for whom she works. She must be known to be fair and just, and she must join sympathy and humor in her makeup if she is to succeed in making both sides believe in her.
"You've got to be human clear to the marrow of your bones," one woman who has the welfare of a thousand employees in her charge said to me. "There isn't a job in the world I would change for this one, but make no mistake, it's full of pitfalls and it's hard work! The girls here come to me when they won't go to their own mothers with their troubles, because they know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do for them if it's right to do it. And I feel every day that I'm doing something worth while."
Any woman would feel the same. And women who have the type of personality that will tell in welfare work should train for it—it is really a great opportunity.

"I suppose aviation will bring in the making of rules in the air."
"The theatrical managers have already done that. They have long been laying out star routes."
such a dream. As to dreaming of saving money, there are two schools—the optimists and the pessimists. The optimists declare that to dream that you are saving up money means that you will have comfort and plenty, while the pessimists think it portends losses. The weight of opinion seems to be on the side of the optimists. If you dream that you are swallowing money look out for yourself; for if you don't you will become so penurious and money-grabbing that you will almost, if not quite, commit fraud to get it. So if you get this warning loosen up the purse-strings. If you dream of counting money you are liable to have a dispute over a bill. In effect it seems lucky to dream about money, but you are warned not to be too much of a millionaire in your dreams, for if you are too disgracefully rich in Dreamland your fortune will be only moderate in real life.

SALADS AND SALAD DRESSINGS.
A SALAD which may be made in almost any season and one of which the ingredients may be found in any home supply is the following:
Ralsin Salad.
Cut one-half cupful of raisins with the shears into fine pieces, cut up one cupful of celery and one cupful of apples in small bits, combine with one-fourth cupful of mayonnaise dressing one-half hour before serving; add one-half cupful of broken walnut ments and serve on lettuce leaves.
Almond Salad.
Take one-half cupful of mild vinegar, if strong, dilute it with water, using the half cupful of diluted vinegar, add three-fourths of a cup of sugar and cook until it spins a thread. Soak two tablespoonfuls of gelatin in one cupful of pineapple juice and dissolve in the hot shrimp, grind one-half cupful of sweet cucumber pickles through a meat grinder, add with two-thirds of a cup of diced pineapple and one-half cupful of blanched, shredded almonds. Mix well and mold. Serve cold with mayonnaise dressing.
A most economical dressing may be made using corn oil in place of the olive oil; the dressing is fully as good to look at and better to the taste for those who do not enjoy the delicious flavor of olive oil.
Sour Cream Drop Cookies.
Sour Cream Drop Cookies.
Take one cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of shortening, one-half cupful of sour milk, one beaten egg, two and one-half cupfuls of flour, one-half teaspoonful of soda. Mix in the order given, first beating the shortening to a cream. Drop from a spoon upon a buttered sheet. Bake in a moderate oven.
Fruit Salad.
Combine the pulp of two oranges and one grape fruit, three slices of pineapple, all finely divided. Dilute one-third of a cupful of honey with the juices from the orange and grape fruit and serve two tablespoonfuls over each portion. Wash, stone and cut into strips six dates. Arrange them in the form of a daisy on the top of each. For the centers, soak coconut in pineapple juice and color with yellow fruit coloring. Serve cold.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
ONE of the most general of superstitions, the world over is that a child born with a "caul" or membrane over the head is not only a soothsayer but an extremely fortunate person. In Scotland, as well as in France, the caul itself is regarded as bringing good fortune to anyone who possesses it, and high prices have been paid for these unusual appendages.
The French word for a child born in this manner is "masque," meaning "masked," a word which is analogous to the Latin "masca," for sorcerer—which possibly explains the connection between the caul and power attributed to those born with it. It was from the French masque, with a slight change of final syllable, that the English "mascot"—meaning a lucky-piece was derived. After being used for years by gamblers and others of a superstitious nature, the word was finally introduced into literature by Audran, in his opera "La Mascotte," in which the term designates the messengers of the power of God, sent to counteract the influence of the power of evil.

THE WOODS
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH
JIM.
If you go to the lake
An' you follow the road
As it turns to the west
Of the mill,
Till you come to a stake
A surveyor has thrown
Like a knife in the breast
Of the hill.
An' you follow the track
Till you come to a blaze
By the side of the same
In a limb,
You will light on a shack,
In the timber a ways,
Of a party whose name
It is Jim.
JIM.
In a day that is flown,
'Mid the great an' the grand,
In a time when his hair
Wet it by
He was commonly known
By a fancier brand
In a city back there,
So they say.
But it's Jim, only Jim
Is the name that he gives,
When you happen to bring
Up the same;
It is play for him
In the woods where he lives,
Fer the man is the thing,
Not the name.
By the gleam of his eye,
Thet is steady an' clear,
By the way he will look
At you square,
You would make it appear
Who would make it appear
He was maybe a crook
Over there.
In the church I have stood—
Heard of preachin' a lot
Thet I never could much
Understand.
An' you were the good
From a sermon I got
Thet I got from a clutch
Of his hand.
I have half an idea
Thet, if back you could turn
To the start of the trail
For a spell.
Thet a woman you'd see,
Thet a lot you would learn-
Thet the regaler tale
It would tell
Of a fallah too fond,
Of a woman too weak,
Of another who came
To her doctor.
Then the endless beyond,
Lips that never must speak,
An' a man but a name
Evermore.
If you go to the town
An' you follow the street,
To a mansion of brown
By the glitter an' glow
Of the .ght.
Where the music is sweet
An' the lute whispers low
To the night.
In the dark of a room
At the end of a hall,
Where the visions of old
Flutter in.
There she sits in the gloom,
She, the Cause of it all,
In the midst of her gold
An' her sin.
If you go to the lake
An' you follow the road
As it turns to the west
Of the mill,
Till you come to a stake
A surveyor has thrown
Lily knit in the breast
Of the hill,
An' you follow the track
Till you come to a blaze
By the side of the same
In a limb,
You will light on the shack,
In the timber a ways,
Of a party whose name
It is Jim.

Frank Lannon, member State Public
Utilities Commission,
member State commissioner

Bills passed on second reading by the House were:
Bill No. 159, by Representative Rotruck, to allow an extra juror in cases for which the judge deems such juror necessary. The extra juror would take no part in giving a decision unless a member of the jury was absent because of sickness, injury or death.
Bill No. 19, by Representative George A. Pughe of Moffat county, to give towns and cities more power in the matter of contracting bonded indebtedness.
Bill No. 26, by Representative Claude Rees of Rifle, to empower brand inspectors to collect a fee of not more than 5 cents a head on all cattle, horses and mules shipped and exempting stock being shipped for temporary grazing purposes.
That Colorado is losing yearly more than $100,000 in corporation taxes and that all restrictions, liabilities and penalties are avoided by a large number of companies operating on a plan which gives them all the benefits of incorporation with none of the limitations, is the charge that was made by R. C. Mulnix to Judge Butler of the District Court in a suit against the Automobile Owners' Protective Association. Judge Butler declared the suit raised entirely new legal questions, and admitted that he was puzzled as to the statute of the so-called common-law trust, under which general title the new form of organization operates. The Senate has passed on third hearing the following:
Senate Bill 31, by Senator Dickinson, to fix District Court terms in the Fourth judicial district.
Senate Bill 15, by Senator Dodge, to fix the fees for sheriffs.
Senate Bill 76, by Senator Callen, to amend the stock inspection law.
Senate Bill 123, by Senator Young, to require an oath of allegiance from the teachers in Colorado schools.
Senate Bill 5, by Senator Knauss, to define fraternal benefit societies, and Senate Bill 22, by Senator Colwell, were put over.
The Senate put over indefinitely Senators Peterson and Knauss' "blue sky" bill, laid over from the previous day.
The committee on criminal jurisprudence of the House has made a favorable recommendation on the bill by Representative W. B. Gordon of Prowers county, to make it an offense punishable by six months' imprisonment and a fine of $200, to fail to disperse at a mob or riotous gathering.
The House of Representatives game and fish committee voted to have printed the bill introduced by Representative Iver H. Dailey of La Veta, president of the Colorado Game and Fish Protective Association, by which state fish and game laws would be cleared of present provisions inconsistent with federal laws.
Senate Bill No. 4, by Senators Golding Fairfield and Francis J. Knauss of Denver, was re-referred to the judiciary committee when it came up for consideration in the House. This law empowers the relatives or representatives of dead persons to bring suits to quiet title in estate matters. Stating that it makes a complete change in the laws, Representative Paul B. Godsman of Burlington made a motion that it be referred to the judiciary committee. The motion was adopted.
Mary L. Pospahola, private secretary to Secretary of State Carl S. Milliken, a position which she also occupied under the administration of James R. Noland, was granted a sick leave of six months. She will go to California. Her position will be filled by Mrs. Mattie J. Hobson during her absence.
Because of the increase of crime in Colorado, the General Assembly, in session at present is asked to appropriate a total of $477,590 for the maintenance of the state penitentiary for the next two years.

Mother Nature Meant Man to Earn His
Bread by the Sweat of His Brow.
By REPRESENTATIVE JOHN Q. TILSON, of Connecticut.

more the deterioration goes on, Soon every organ partakes of this slack-
ness. With his work comes worry and with that worry an irritable condi-
tion of the nerves. Suddenly he is brought up with a round stop and
learns from his doctor that something is wrong with him.
‘Then begins the pursuit of health, and vacations, which formerly
were a pleasure to him, are full of the foreboding and wondering whether
he will be all right in a month or six months. And all this can be pre-
vented not by orgies of exercise, not by doing things to such an excess
as to still further load the vitality and the resistive force, but by constant
small doses daily of a moderate exercise, which takes nothing out of a
man but exhilarates him and is after nature’s own methods, which consists
in gradual rather than violent changes. With the improvement that comes
from this moderate exercise his will power strengthens and his appetite
becomes more normal, so that he can more readily control it and eat in
moderation and enjoy that food. And in proportion as he practices tem-
perance, just so much does his mental and nervous tone improve. And
he soon finds that there is double the enjoyment in the kind of eating he
does when vigorous and under self-control than that which he practiced
before. Every part helps a part, and when the circle is a vicious circle
it leads around to greater deterioration, and when it is a beneficial circle
it leads around to better and better improvement in all respects.
‘The average man knows enough to take care of inanimate machines,
to see that they have oil, to see that they are not run badly or in an imper-
fect condition. The average man will see that his horse or his motor car
is properly taken care of. He will insist that his boys at school have
proper exercise and sports. When it comes to himself he feels that he can
take any liberty or license, forget all the dictates of health, and yet expect
to go on with his work just the same.
Texas has thousands upon thousands of fertile acres of land that are
yet untouched by the plow, and the state could easily support @ popula-
tion of 50,000,000 people, and yet the census figures just announced show
that it has only 4,661,027 people; ‘One-third of the population of Texas
lives in 17 counties, yet the state has 253 counties. The population runs
all the way from 37 in the county of Crane, away out in west Texas, to
210,000 in Dallas county. Ten Texas counties showed a gain of more
than 100 per cent in the last decade.
It must be remembered that Texas, when it came into the Union, had
in its annexation treaty a clause providing that any time it so desired it
might divide itself into five states and send ten United States senators
to Washington without any action on the part of congress being necessary
It will be many years before Texas divides, but eventually such action
will be taken, though I do not believe it will divide into more than two
states, Even now the interests of west Texas and east Texas are entirely
dissimilar,
‘The American Southwest offers unlimited opportunities for archeo-
logical and geological investigations and research, and local educational
institutions are not making the most of the natural advantages of the
Rocky Mountain region. Hight institutions of the East invaded the
Southwest during the last year and carried away prize specimens of the
localities visited.
‘There are come famous things in the East that are a part of history,
such as the Plymouth rock. We are content to allow those things to re-
main there in the East, where they belong. We do protest against allow-
ing people to come from the East and take from our Southwest the things
which belong to us.
We should have the most colossal museum in this country. The great
museums of the East are filled with nature specimens and relics which
have been brought from our own and neighboring states. Are we going
to sleep on, and let the rest of the country take advantage of our lethargy
in this respect?
The purely thinking mind is fundamentally alike in both sexes,
‘There is no foundation for the traditional inferiority of the feminine in-_
tellect. ‘The great handicap is apparently first, the craving of the little
girl for parental approbation, then cf the maiden for the approbation of |
her suitors, and ts-n tho mature woman r the approbation of her hus- |
band or her employers.
It is in the business world that this tendency is the greatest handicap |
to women. Shrewd employers of women know that well timed approba- |
tion and praise often will be an entirely satisfactory substitute for a raise
in salary or the payment of a just wage. |
Whether this sensitiveness to criticism will cause women to raise the |
standard of political morality remains to be seen. ‘There is geod reason |
to bope it will. |

ITH the announcement on last Monday morning of a reduction in
W wages of the iron molders from one dollar per hour to seventy-five
cents per hour by the Queen City Foundry of Denver, followed by &
declaration by the same company that henceforth the foundry will be oper-
ated upon the open shop basis, brings to a focus the fight between the union
shop and the open shop here in Denver. ‘The Queen City Foundry managers
claim to be able to operate with a full and efficient crew under the new scale
of wages and upon the principle of the open shop.
‘The union molders are reported to be planning a counter strategic move
by immediately organizing a co-operative iron foundry to be owned and op-
erated by union men and for union men, as against the open shop. ‘This is
the first instance In Denver of an open shop declaration and a reduction of
wages by any large industry employing from 150 to 200 men, since the open
shop sentiment began to sweep over the country, During the ‘ast four or
five years, especially after the United States entered the world war, labor
reached its climax in the matter of high wages, Never in the history of the
country were laboring men, both skilled and un-skilled, pald such extortionate
high wages, During the war, naturally, men were scarce, and especially
young men, and Inbor was necessarily in greater demand and wages went
up accordingly. Labor was not satisfied, but kept up a continual demand
for higher wages and shorter hours, and for the time, being in the saddle,
xo to speak, they pressed their demands and backed them up with a threatened
strike, Capital was up against the real thing and was forced to comply or
go to the wall, Labor was king and was riding the wave of prosperity. Mr.
Gompers was in Washington directly in touch with the White House and the
wants of labor were faithfully attended to by the President at the slightest
suggestion of Mr. Gompers. Labor was sitting upon the throne, but appar-
ently for some unknown reason labor today is fast climbing down from the
throne, ‘The pendulum is swinging the other way and wages and prices in all
lines are falling back to pre-war basis.
Labor was better organized and had a stronger treasury than in all of its
organized existence. Now the test comes. Can labor successfully resist the
epen shop wave now sweeping the country? Will the co-operative union shop
counter moye stop the onslaught of the open shop drive?
Frankly, after viewing the situation from an impartial standpoint, we

WORLD DISARMAMENT.
HE GREATEST question today which seems to be attracting the atten-
ar tion of the statesmen of the world is that of “disarmament.” Senator
Borah has proposed a resolution in the United. States Senate calling up-
‘on England, Japan and the United States to hold a conference for the pur-
pose of coming to some kind of an amicable agreement upon the matter of
disarmament. From the import of this resolution it is to be inferred that these
three great naval powers hold the peace of the world in their hands, and once
they can agree upon a plan of disarmament the rest of the world powers will
gladly follow their example. It is intimated that England would gladly ae-
ceed to the proposition if only the United States would come in, and also that
Japan would welcome the movement, but each nation is afraid of the other
and hence the great naval building program of each nation goes on without
ceasing. Senator Borah's resolution was a great step forward toward world
peace, and England and Japan could now, with much propriety, endorse Sen-
ator Borah's resolution by informing this country that they stand ready to
appoint a naval commission to meet with # like commission from the United
‘States to consider the question of disarmament, In the mean time there
should be a compact between the three nations to halt their nayal program
until a report from the conference has been presented for the consideration
of the three nations.
It is suggested that Japan and England would welcome such a program
pecuuse of their great national debts, and if such is the ease no better time
than the present is best to begin, France, of course, is not taken into con-
sideration at this time because she is not disturbed about Japan, England or
the United States.
France has but one aim from a military point of view, and that is to he
prepared to ward off any future attacks from Germany.’ She is stoutly de-
rnunding the total disarmament of Germany and in the light of the past she
cannot be blamed greatly for her blind devotion to military preparedness.
Hut England seems to be the key to the situation, and it is believed that Japan
\will follow the lead of England, ‘These can be no question but that disarma-
iment would bring about world peace more surely than any thing else, It
would be the greatest boon to civilization that has yet been sroposed an
would, in the end, bring about exactly what was fifended hy the league of
hations—the end of wars, It would be the greatest saving to all nations fi
nancially that could be imagined and @ saying in taxes to the people of all
nations of countless billions. '
Disarmament would be the suvest guaranty of the life and integrity and
sovereignty of the smaller nations of the world. It would bring about the ere-|
ation of an International court of Justice where il international disputes could
be settled and the resort to arms and the destruction of life and property
would forever be ended. ‘The world has seen enough bloodshed and destrue-|
tion. Let the light of civilization and the spirit of christianity prevail upon
‘ail nations to disarm.

“Tet not him who is
bomeless pull down the

Hh Frecrie
A recent writer on Lincoln as @
“lover of mankind” has lkened him
to two other great men who have be-
come a common possession of our
Anglo-Saxon race. Although they
seem almost as far separated from
each other as from Lincoln himself,
both Chaucer and Sir Walter Scott
reveal to the careful observer the
qualities that provoked a comparison
apparently so remote. ‘These are the
qualities of a lover of mankind.
Chaucer displayed them in depict-
ing, with sympathy for all, the group
of widely various characters who made
thelr immortal Canterbury Pilgrimage
together, Scott displayed them not
only through the creatures of his im-
agination, but also in his recorded re-
lations with all his fellow beings. In
that respect Chaucer ts at a disad-
vantage, because he lived long before
biography hud attained anything like
its modern abundance. Lincoln, later
tha: Scott, and more tempting to bi-
Clneatin “ena Samier,
Lincoln was modestly proud of his
stature and of the effect of the physical
man, especially when actuated by
noble sentiments, He used to speak
of his height to every tall man he
met, and to propose measuring—an-
other guileless habit of self-gratifica-
tion. The only refusal he Is known
to have received was from Charles
Sumner, who was also tall and proud
of his height, Sumner was worrying
the President, as he often did, about
some perplexing matter, when Lincoln
abruptly challenged him to measure.
“Sumner declined,” sald Lincoln, “mak-
Ing a fine speech about this being the
time for uniting our fronts against
the enemy, and not our backs, But I
guess he was afraid, though he is a
good plece of a man. I have never
had much to do with bishops where I
live, but, do you know, Sumner ts my
idea of a bishop."”—Harper's Weekly.

The work he did, the sum of his
deeds and their great frultage, may
Inspire the chronicler of our national
life and the recorder of God's hand-
writing in the annals of His world;
but to the rank and file, who know
but vaguely the details of his herotc
achievements, the memory of Lincoln
takes the form of a warming, loving,
saddening personal presence, a latter-
day reflection of the everlasting Man
of Sorrows.
‘The splendor of the ceremontials |
which aggrandize lying royalty as
much as they glorify dead heroism
was wholly wanting in the obsequies
of Mr. Lincoln. No part was taken
by the government except the provi-
sion of a suitable military escort. All
beyond was the spontaneous move-
ment of the people. For seventeen

It is In the very variety and extent
of the studies of Lincoln's character
that the strength of his hold on the
tmagination of the world Is_ shown.
Fifty-six years have passed since
he met his tragic death. ‘Through al)
that period the Interpretations of his
character—historical, analytical, po
etical—have steadily increased In num-

yet strangely typical and significant

days when myths were made, it fs

of time he would aye grown into a

of the New World, a half-divine hero
Ike those that we associate with the
most distant antiquity.
But he belonged to no such period.
His age is one of the most amply re-
corded in all history, and the records
of his life are so intertwined with
those of men and events quite with-
out poetic or heroic suggestion, that
his feet can never be wholly removed
from the earth. Indeed, It fs much
better that no such possibility exists.
We need to know that out of our com-
mon life can spring 80 extraordinary

which our human nature Is capable.

mankind.—Youth’s Companion.
Why Lincoln Helped a Bug.
President Lincoln was walking with
friend about Washington and turned
back for some distance to assist #
beetle that had got on its back and
lay on the walk, legs sprawling in alr,
vainly trying to turn itself over. ‘The
friend expressed surprise that the
President, burdened with the cares of
a warring nation, should find time to
spare In assisting a bug.
“Well,” said Lincoln, with that
homely sincerity that touched the
hearts of millions of his countrymen,
“do you know that if I had left that
bug struggling there on his back I
wouldn't have felt just right? I wanted
to put him on his feet and give him
an equal chance with all the other
bugs of his class.”
Cut Lincoln Off Hie List.
General Huldekoper in 1862 detailed
two companies of his regiment to
guard President Lincoln's summer resi-
dence. He saw the President constant-
ly and they became real friends.
‘The first time the general met the
President, Lincoln, who had heard that
the Huldekopers came from Holland,
Inquired: “What is the difference be-
tween an Amsterdam Dutchman and
any other damn Dutchman?”
And the general, who admired Lin-
coln above all other Americans, addst

most continuous procession of mourn-
ers attended the remains of the be-
loved President. There was no pag-
eantry save their presence. There
was no tribute but their tears. They
bowed before the bier of him who hed
been prophet, priest and king to his
people, who had struck the shackles
from the slave, who had taught a high-
er sense of duty to the free man, who
had raised the nation to a loftier con-

OUSE Resolution 621, introduced by Representative James Gideon Monahan of Wisconsin, authorizes the painting of a full-length portrait of Abraham Lincoln and the placing of it in the hall of the house of represen-
HOUSE Resolution 621, introduced by Representative James Gideon Monahan of Wisconsin, authorizes the painting of a full-length portrait of Abraham Lincoln and the placing of it in the hall of the house of representatives. If Mr. Monahan's resolution goes through, the portrait painter selected to make the portrait may well feel proud over his selection. But few real artists will be envious of him.
For Abraham Lincoln was so many kinds of man that his physical body produced widely differing impressions, even upon those accustomed to his presence and familiar with the many-sidedness of his character. Moreover, the whole civilized world has now come to revere and love the name of Lincoln and will be satisfied with nothing less than a great achievement by the painter of this portrait.
This is the moral of the recent controversy over the statue of Lincoln erected in London. It will be remembered that the British government set apart a site related to the house of parliament and Westminster Abbey for this statue. A controversy arose over the choice between two statues. The plain truth is that there was a feeling that one of these statues fell far short of doing Lincoln justice. The British government asked the United States department of state to settle the controversy. The department of state referred the question to the commission of fine arts. The commission reported to the British government that the "man and site call for a statue representative of the highest achievement of the American sculptor" and advised Great Britain that "such is the statue of Abraham Lincoln executed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and erected in Lincoln park, Chicago." The British government accepted the report of the commission.
The world does not want a handsome Lincoln, but it does insist upon an impressive Lincoln and will tolerate no suggestion of the grotesque or the inefficient.
Lincoln well knew the wide variation of impressions his appearance and actions produced. No doubt he grieved over it. But his philosophy rose superior and his course was set according to his declaration:
"If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed to all other business. I do the very best I know how—the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference."
This variance of impression produced by Lincoln upon even the same beholder is well illustrated by what Col. Richard J. Bright, long an official of the United States senate, once said:
"No sculptor has told the story and no artist has recorded the drama-comedy-tragedy revealed in the features of that meteor of humanity and spirituality which flashed its brightest iridescence on the field of Gettysburg.
"I saw Abraham Lincoln when I believed him to be the homelost creature in human form ever permitted to cumber this earth by walking and talking with the statesmen of our republic.
"I saw Abraham Lincoln on the platform engaged in earnest discussion of then current topics and I believed him to be the most forceful character ever

known in the American political arena.
"I saw Abraham Lincoln keyed up to righteous wrath on the subject of human slavery and I regarded him as a singularly lofty demon of immense proportions, stirring strife between the sections of our sacred union of confederated states.
"I saw Abraham Lincoln administering justice in military and naval affairs, when he seemed to be a composite incarnation of Julius Caesar and the hero of Trafalgar.
"I saw Abraham Lincoln in the White House tenderly offering to a mother mercy for her condemned son, sentenced to death by court martial; saw him revoking the doctrine of 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,' substituting for it the new commandment 'that ye love one another,' and I believed his face to be the most awelinspiringly beautiful cameo ever cut by Almighty God to demonstrate that Omnipotence had 'created man in His own image,' and then sent His Son to say concerning mortal man:—Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
"Future generations cannot see Abraham Lincoln in marble, in bronze, nor on canvas, for no human being can portray him with chisel nor with brush."
If the time, place and occasion of this proposed portrait of Lincoln were left to a vote of the American people, what would it choose? There certainly is a wealth of suggestive occasions.
Take, for instance, the debates of 1858 between Lincoln and Douglas, on which in reality the fate of the nation largely hung. Vice President Marshall, when a boy of four, heard the Freeport debate and was on the platform. He says:
"While Mr. Lincoln was talking I sat on the knees of Senator Douglas, and he never said one word to me; just held me. When it came his turn to talk I sat on the knees of Lincoln. He asked my name, my age, where I lived, whether I knew my A, B, C's, whether I had a puppy dog or not, and all sorts of questions of a kind to interest a little boy."
At the Charleston debate Douglas made the mistake of indirectly accusing Lincoln of disloyalty by referring to the old story that he had voted against appropriations for the soldiers in the war with Mexico. Sitting on the platform as chairman of the Douglas committee was Colonel Orlando B. Flicklin. As soon as it came his turn to speak Mr. Lincoln grabbed him by the shoulders, dragged him to the front of the platform and shouted to the audience:
"I am not going to hurt Flicklin, but I am going to make him tell the truth to this audience about that ten-year-old lie which Judge Douglas has brought up again. Flicklin was a member of congress when I was, he knows the truth, and he must tell it."
Take the occasions of Lincoln's farewell to his Springfield neighbors when he left for Washington to assume the presidency.
Take the occasion of Lincoln's second inaugural, when he uttered the words: "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness for

But in all probability Lincoln at Gettysburg touched his highest with the written and spoken word. it was a great assemblage of the wisest and best of the nation. Edward Everett, statesman, patriot and orator, was the speaker of the day. He delivered a long, eloquent and notable address. Then President Lincoln arose and said just 257 words.
Those 257 words were not appreciated at the time. They were drowned by Everett's flood of eloquence. Today Everett's oration is known only to students. Today Lincoln's 257 words have been committed to memory by the world.
Do not think for one minute that Lincoln's Gettysburg address was a happy incident. His letters, his debates, his speeches—all his papers—proclaim his mastery of the written and spoken word.
Nevertheless, Lincoln's Gettysburg address is in a sense the sublimation of all that he wrote and said. It is the utterance of a great soul aroused to expression by a great occasion. It touches the heart. It satisfies the brain. It is Abraham Lincoln himself.
Lloyd George, in his tribute to Lincoln at the unveiling of the Lincoln statue last August near Westminster Abbey, used these words:
"I am not sure that you in America realize the extent to which he is also our possession and our pride. . . . In his life he was a great American. He is an American no longer. He is one of those giant figures, of whom there are very few in history, who lose their nationality in death. They are no longer Greek or Hebrew or English or American—they belong to mankind. I wonder whether I will be forgiven for saying that George Washington was a great American, but Abraham Lincoln belongs to the common people of every land." True, but wordy! The same thing was said better long ago.
There was a great lawyer who despised Lincoln, who had reviled and insulted him. But Lincoln knew his ability and his patriotism and took him into his cabinet as his war secretary. The man entered the cabinet, expecting and intending to run the government. Truly had Lincoln said, "with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington." That task was to prevent the Union from splitting in twain, to bring back the seceding states by force of arms, and to reunite a divided country half slave and half free.
How Lincoln accomplished a part of that task we all know. In 1865 Lee surrendered at Appomattox and the armed resistance of the Confederacy was at an end. And during those four momentous years this war secretary, who had despised and reviled and insulted Lincoln, had quickly come to appreciate and love Lincoln and to obey him.
Six days after Lee's surrender at Appomattox Lincoln's further accomplishment of his task was cut short by the assassin's bullet. And as Abraham Lincoln's eyelids closed in death his great war secretary, Edwin M. Stanton, stepped forward and spoke the proved judgment of humanity: "Now he belongs to the ages."

UNIFY THE WAR RISK INSURANCE, VOCATIONAL EDUCATION THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE
WASHINGTON.—The present system of rehabilitating disabled war veterans is denounced by the American Legion as a "failure" which should be remedied by consolidating under a single head the three government agencies now engaged in that work.
The Legion memorial asserts that the function of the three agencies—the bureau of war risk insurance, the federal board for vocational education and the United States public health service—"must be co-ordinated, their machinery decentralized, and all three placed under the common control." "To do this," the memorial says, "there must be a new law which shall place the unified organization under
TO PREVENT the United States from becoming a dumping ground for foreign goods before a new tariff bill can be perfected, a move is developing in congress for re-enactment of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law as soon as possible after March 4.
The plan is to use the Payne-Aldrich law as a temporary dike against the flood of foreign goods that Europe is preparing to rush into American markets now unprotected. Those who foster the movement propose that the old law should be re-enacted only as an emergency barrier, to remain effective until the Fordney-Penrose tariff can be made law, probably late in the summer.
Representative Watson of Pennsylvania is one of the supporters of this plan, and he has been gaining converts to the idea rapidly.
Consideration of the new tariff thus far finds Republican members of the house ways and means committee in complete accord in favoring ample protection for chemical industries which gained a foothold in the United States during the war. In the recent hearings Schedule A of the tariff law, relating to chemicals, oils and paints, was discussed. In the hearings on the chemical
TO CONGRESS REDUCE THE NAVAL ESTIMATE WORK-REDUCTION SHOULD BE MADE FROM THE BOTTOM
REPRESENTATIVE Kelley of Michigan, chairman of the house naval subcommittee on appropriations, after a conference with President-elect Harding, will propose to the committee a 40 per cent cut in the naval estimate for ship construction.
Representative Kelley said he was giving his own views and made no attempt to reflect the opinions of the President-elect, but declared he thought the policy should be to gradually complete the naval building program of 1916, but with a view to proportionate disarmament of the nations. "The coming year in my opinion," he said, "should be a normal, healthy, naval building year. The navy is asking for $184,000,00 for new ships
HOW to accomplish deflation without precipitating a financial crash, a possible revolution, or American intervention, is the Cuban problem confronting Gen. Enoch Crowder, who was sent there by the United States to straighten out Cuba's tangled political and economic affairs. The Cubans have great confidence in General Crowder. The Menocal administration professes deep distrust of the schemes for Cuban financial reform. These schemes are alleged to favor absorption of the toterting Havana banks by Wall street financial interests and the consequent profits of millions by them from Cuba's distress.
Cuba owes her present financial troubles largely to speculation in sugar when the world shortage was accentuated through the hoarding by profiteers, which sent the price of sugar to 18 cents per pound on New York docks. Cuban planters and mill owners reaped fortunes overnight, but this only whetted their appetites, and they formed a combine which was pledged to withhold 1,000,000 bags of sugar from the market until the price should go to 28 cents or more. In the meantime the speculation bubble burst and the Cubans woke up
control of a single administrative head." For this new organization the Legion asks an appropriation sufficient to buy, build, equip and enlarge hospitals sufficient to provide facilities for all the men now under hospital treatment. Bills providing for this have been introduced in both houses of congress at the behest of the legion. The memorial says the United States has been more liberal than any other nation in its provisions for the disabled soldiers, but that it had failed in a large measure to make these provisions available. This is attributed to "an astonishing state of divided responsibility and wasted effort among the government agencies.
"In the rehabilitation of a disabled man there are three needs—medical treatment, vocational training and financial support," the memorial proceeds. "The government has recognized the three needs, but overlooks the fact that they are the simultaneous needs of a man, not of three different men or of one man at three different times. It makes three problems out of what really is one three-part problem."
PAYNE ALDRICH LAW FOREIGN GOODS
schedule a change in the basis of valuation in calculating ad valorem rates of duty was urged. Henry Howard, chairman of the executive committee of the Manufacturing Chemists' Association of the United States; Nathan M. Clark, representing the Pyroxolin Manufacturers' association, and also a number of others, proposed that the domestic value rather than the foreign value be taken as the basis of any rates that are in any way regulated by the value of the imported article.
Representative Fordney, chairman of the committee, and other Republicans on the committee showed a decided sympathy with this reversal of the policy which has been in effect for more than a century.
alone—something more than thirty, including six battle cruisers, ten battle-ships and ten scout cruisers. As this work goes forward now the navy is spending about $7,000,000 or $8,000,000 a month. This rate, I believe, is rapid enough to carry on the necessary construction, and about $100,000,000 ought to be enough to carry out the building program.
"I told Senator Harding that in any discussion of the reduction of armament I could not see how we could avoid building these ships, for it would cost as much now to discontinue building as it would to finish the job."
Representative Kelley said proportionate armament reduction "should be made off the bottom."
"We should abandon the old ships and old guns," he said, "in any disarmament scheme. Every nation will keep its new weapons."
Disarruement is scheduled for lengthy Discussion in both branches of congress In the senate the foreign relations committee will resume consideration of the Borah and Walsh resolutions for naval disarmament.
to find that their sugar spree was over. The sugar and related industries which had ordered large amounts of machinery and supplies from America C. O. D., now were unable to pay for the goods and the docks and wharves soon were plied high with goods, while the harbor was filling with more ships whose cargoes neither could be discharged nor paid for.
While the harbor congestion brought commerce and industry to a standstill, a survey of the situation disclosed the collapse of the sugar boom had left three large banks insolvent. They were full of 18-cent sugar paper. To save the insolvent banks from immediate confession of bankruptcy and to avert runs on the solvent institutions, the government declared a moratorium.

Keeping a motorcar in excellent
working order is a simple matter when
‘a regular schedule of lubrication and
adjustments {1s followed. Most drivers
are quite consclentious In attending to
the minor details during warm and
fair weather because they realize that
all of the little things go to rounding
out more perfect operation.
All-year driving has become the cus-
tom rather than the exception, Dur-
ing the winter there seems to be a
tendency on the part of some to neg-
lect the usual routine and to let slip
such matters as attending to grease
cups, spring clips, drip pan, ete.
Should Tighten Bolts.
Should squeaks of any kind develop
in the body they may be eliminated
by simply tightening the body bolts
with a good-sized wrench, which will
draw the body down firmly in position
again,
It 1s advisable, whether or not
squeaks are apparent, to Inspect the
bolts after winter driving to see that
they are drawn up good and snug
against the lock washers.
Another simple matter 1s the proper
care of springs. Springs do an ex-
traordinary amount of work and when
the ground is frozen the shocks they
meet are greatly multiplied. The
slight effort involved in caring for
them will be repaid many times by the
added comfort derived and the added
protection afforded all working parts
of the car.
It 1s essential that the spring clips
be kept tight at all times in order that
the spring leaves will be held firmiy
together. As spring leaves generally
break on the rebound, It Is necessary
that the leaves hold together In order
to divide up the shock.
At this time of the year It 1s also
advisable to jack up the car, loosen
the spring clips and spread the leaves
apart, and with a thin, flat instrument
Uberally smear the surfaces of the
spring leaves with a mixture of flake
graphite and motor of], This lubri-
cant will permit the leaves to slip over
each other with very little friction,
thus giving the same smoothness of
action as when the car was new.
Clean Cooling System.
It is also a good point, after driving
the car all winter, to thoroughly clean
the cooling system before warm
weather comes on, No matter what
kind of antifreeze mixture is used a
certain amount of sediment is bound
to settle In parts of the system or ad-
here to the cylinder and radiator
walls.
A simple method of cleaning the
system 1s to drain off the water and
then turn a hose in the filler cap of
the radiator to admit a moderate
stream of water. Let the motor run
at a low speed, leaving open the pet
cock at the bottom of the radiator.
‘Another good point Is to check up
the brakes to see that they are proper-
ly adjusted.
If the car has been in use all dur-
ing the winter a thorough washing
and cleaning Is also advisable. It ts
especially important to clean the
chassis where dirt and ice accumu-
lated in driving over slushy and wet
roads.
A few hours spent In a “spring
housecleaning” will put the car in
good shape and insure greater com-
fort and satisfaction on invigorating
spring drives.

have a clear, bright day for making
cendy, and !f inexperienced use but a
pound of sugar at a time. To one pound
of sugar add three-quarters of a cupful
of bolling water and one-half tea-
spoonful of cream of tartar. Stir the
sugar and water until well dissolvea,
then when beginning to boll do not stir
or jar, to avoid granulation. Test by
using ice water for dipping; this ts the
Important moment in fondant making.
When a drop falls in the iced water,
making a soft ball which can be picked

jarred. When cool enough to bear the
finger, begin to stir with a wooden
spoon until creamy and smooth or It
may be poured while hot over a but-
tered marble slab and worked when
cool. In elther method it should be
kneaded Into a smooth, doughy mass
and set aside, well covered, to ripen.
This foundation may be used In all

L
NEW models in suits for spring reveal much ingenuity in designing as well as some departures from style features that have proved popular during the past winter. Embroideries are retained and braids are featured. Skirts vary in width from medium to wide—that is, wide by comparison with those that have been popular with very young women, and in the displays so far extremely short skirts are conspicuous by their absence. There are many straight coats, varying greatly in length. Some of them barely cover the waist line and others are finger-tip length, with many gradations between. As a rule, skirts are plain. Belts are made of the materials and are narrow and inconspicuous.
If one's ambition is to acquire a suit that is unlike anything that has been owned before, the suit at the left of the two shown above, will prove interesting. The body of the ingent-
An Excursion
NOW that the new blouses for spring have arrived in force, a little excursion among them is a sight-seeing event of much pleasure. The charm of novelty in design is added to that of unusually beautiful color and color combinations. Changeable tuffetas present a new field for the designers and they are exploiting it with great success. Georgette crepe in two-color blouses, still proves irresistible to those who are responsible for the styles and georgette maintains its place at the head of the little procession of lovely fabrics used for spring and summer blouses.
In spite of early indications to the contrary, the last arrivals have elbow sleeves, although there are many with longer sleeves, it is likely that the short sleeved models will at least hold their own through the summer.
The most noticeable style point made by the new models is the lack of any definition of the waistline—in the front of the blouses at least. The body of
ously cut cont appears to be merely a slashed cape, the slashes forming rounded panels, below the waist line, that overlap. They are trimmed with narrow braid. The collar promises to be the most popular type in spring suits and the skirt carries out the panel arrangement suggested by the cont. Soutache and other braids command admiration by the exquisite exactness in workmanship with which they are applied.
The suit at the right is typical of the box-coat model, straight in front, with a slight flare at the back, where it is a little longer than in front. The skirt is an extreme in length and width—more ample than the average. Silk embroidery in two colors and soft shades finishes this handsome model. In the matter of decoration, it remains to be proven which will be best liked, but embroiderles have the lead just now.
Among Blouses
the garment is cut to extend nine inches below the waist and often extended at the sides to form a soft girdle at the back. Much ingenuity in cutting is the result of this idea.
The pretty blouse of soft satin, shown in the picture, ignores the waistline entirely—back and front. It honors the mode for iridescent beads in an effective embroidery and shows its allegiance to longer sleeves and tab trimming about the bottom, both innovations for the new season. The changeable taffetas are often trimmed with bands or straps of the silk, frayed into narrow fringe along each edge, this fringe revealing one of the two colors used in weaving the silk. With the addition of a little needlework this makes a beautiful ornamentation.
