THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY WHITE STUDENTS HEAR WHAT RACE THINKS OF THEM VOL. XXVII. "T THE AVERAGE man of our race thinks that the average American white man is an egotistic, conceited, deceitful and unjust person to whom no rational claim nor any sense of justice will appeal, except in such cases as will result in his own material advantage, or the material advantage of other white men," declared William H. Haynes, senior at the University of Chicago Law School, before a meeting of the Sociological Club at the University of Chicago, Thursday night. Mr. Haynes and W. H. Jones, graduate student, had been invited by the club to address its members on "What the Negro Thinks of the White Man." Mr. Jones spoke first. He made it clear to his audience that the race understands the white man better than white men understand the race, pointing out as a reason that its whole life, economic, social and political is wrapped up in that of the white man and its status determined by the white man's attitude. "With the race, to understand the white man is inevitable—it is an economic necessity." Mr. Jones asserted. Further he gave three reasons for the white man's inability to understand the race—first, because he sees the race as a minority group submerged in a majority group upon which it is dependent; second, because he is indifferent to the race—he realizes that it does not determine his status, and, third, because interest shown by members of the white race in studying the problems of the black man is viewed with suspicion by other members of their race. "The race sees the white man's attitude manifested toward him in his behavior on the streets and in public conveyances; he sees it reflected in his literature, his newspapers and in his general response to various situations. The intelligent race man is reading back through history and is able to determine the trend of white public opinion toward him. He has found that this trend of opinion has been against him. He realizes that he has been lied to, deceived, cheated and denied those privileges he really deserved. "The white man has tried to deceive us by telling us that our difficulties do not lie with the higher class of white people, but with the rowdies. But we are not so easily deceived. We know that the rowdies do not make public opinion. Our trouble lies with those who think and make public opinion; the newspaper editors, the preachers and writers. "We intend to fight the public opinion which has proved itself to be such a deadly enemy to us. We realize that there are certain leaders of the white race who are attempting to keep this public opinion against us. We know that this is true because we can see it reflected in the attitude of the press toward us. It attempts to suppress all news that is favorable to us, and consciously perverts the facts about us in order to create a sentiment against us." Mr. Haynes pointed out that the white man's egotism was born of his knowledge of himself as a creative genius and the possessor of great productive ingenuity. This the average race man, with whom Mr. Haynes dealt in his discussion, knows, and he feels that "a little learning has made the white man mad." "If the average American white man could take a few weeks' vacation from his self-given guardianship of culture and civilization, he would be surprised to see how smoothly things would run and how little the world would miss him," the speaker remarked, with a touch of sarcasm. He directed attention to the white man's deceit. The white man "vociferously insists that the majesty of the law must be upheld, and that law enforcement must apply to all citizens alike. But in so far as we are concerned this is deceit, and we know it. What the white man means is that all these ideal conceptions apply to himself and other white men. "For fifty years," Mr. Haynes continued, "three amendments to our basic law dealing with human rights have been flagrantly violated. More money has been spent and more machinery created in one year to enforce the liquor amendment than has been spent and created to enforce the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments in fifty years." As to a solution of the problem the club was told that the race is divided. Some lean toward radical methods; they would shoot, kill, burn, devastate. Others believe in the efficacy of religion, education, patience. The average race man, though, realizes that at best education is merely a palliative, and that to hit the heart of the problem he must strike at the color physischosis of the white man, which is at the bottom of all racial maladjustments in this country. He realizes, further, that this generation has come to a parting of the ways—it must assume manhood, rights and justice as Negroes or as American citizens. He wants American citizenship, true, unqualified and absolute. He is prepared to sacrifice and fight for it. "Literally and figuratively, the race is between the devil and the deep blue sea. Marcus Garvey's idea to cross the sea; there are others who say stay here and fight the devil, live with the devil, be a devil. The American race man realizes that there is much room for improvement in the present order of things; but for an ultimate, permanent and correct solution of the problem he must get white or get out."—Chicago Defender. PRESIDENT HARDING RINGS TRUE. Comes Out Four-Square Against Evil of Lynching. When James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People left the office of President Harding after a long and satisfactory conference two weeks ago, he expressed great faith in the attitude of the present administration toward the Negro. The President's strong, unequivocal utterances on the lynching evil in his message to Congress Tuesday, gives ample justification for that faith. A new and brighter day is dawning for the race. There can be no doubt about it. Hopeful signs appear on the horizon each day. The conviction of Williams and his murderous crowd in Covington, Georgia, with the subsequent expose of the horrors of the neonage systemm are not the least of the hopeful signs. The N. A. A. C. P. is constantly on the job. It is imbued with the virtue of eternal vigilance. Now is the time to rally to its support give it strength. Let us pull together, all for one and one for all. TIME TO STOP SLAVERY TIME TO STOP SLAVERY THE UNITED States of America, on December 18, 1865, adopted this amendment—the thirteenth—to its constitution: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. "Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." That was more than fifty-five years ago. Today, involuntary servitude widely prevails in the United States, not as a punishment for crime, and in forms as flagrant, as brutal and as murderous as ever the realist-romancer depicted it as being in the time and place of Simon Legree. In witness of which, see the grewsome revelations of doings in Jasper county, Georgia, an hour's ride from the metropolis of the Empire State of the South. More than a dozen years ago a number of Negroes testified before a grand jury in Tennessee that members of their race were being held in slavery, and that some of them had been beaten to death or otherwise killed, and their bodies furtively weighted with stones and cast into the river. Of the public, some listened to the tale with incredulity; some attributed it to the vivid African imagination; some dismissed it with the curt judgment that "The damned niggers lied." Today we have ocular proof that precisely such things have recently been done on the shore of the Alcovy river; and fearful speculation arises as to where else, in how many other places, the same revolting crimes may have been committed; seeing that the same conditions of slavery are known to exist elsewhere. On the 29th of January last, this paper took occasion to comment on certain astounding statements then recently made by Mr. Hooper Alexander, the United States district attorney at Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Alexander's sweeping assertions seemed on their face to be so outrageous in their flat assertions and in their implications as to be all but incredible. This responsible United States official put himself on record with the deliberate statement that the wrongs committed by whites against Negroes in Georgia ran "all the gamut from the meanest of petty cheating to deliberate and plotted murder." He said, furthermore, that "in a large proportion of the cases, 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." Coming from any other than a source presumably so free from temptation to sensational exaggeration as an officer of the United States Department of Justice, such statements as these would seem more like mere ravings than the considered utearances of a responsible person. And yet the revelations to date of the appalling villainies perpetrated on defenseless Negroes on that unspeakable Williams murder plantation in Jasper county, seem to substantiate the worst of Mr. Alexander's charges. The bodies of no less than nine Negroes, all of whom had been murdered under circumstances of bestial cruelty, have already been found either in shallow graves or chained and weighted down in the bot- tom of a river. All of these miserable victims had been made peonage slaves before being butchered to get them out of the way and prevent their possible revelations of the crimes of the scoundrels who held them in bondage. And the worst of it is that, in all human probability, we have scratched only the surface of the systematic villainies to which ignorant Negroes in Georgia, and without much doubt in other near-by states, have been subjected for years. It is no sudden sporadic outbreak of this form of crime that has now been brought to the attention of the Georgia courts. It is only a particularly appalling instance. It is enough to make every decent American sick at heart to know that such atrocities should be committed under the flag he loves so much. And yet it is only the logical outcome of that other savagery, lynching, which, instead of decreasing, has been steadily increasing of late. Just how many of these mob murders have occurred within the current year we have no means of knowing. Hardly a week has passed since the 1st of January without the papers telling of one or more of these disgraces to our civilization. Probably it would be well within the mark to say that during the last twelve weeks a dozen persons have been thus mob-butchered in different parts of the country—an average of something like three a month. We do not for a moment doubt, of course, that the best elements in the civilization of the South deplore these savageries, as is evidenced by the prompt and energetic activities of the state administration in the present instance; and we cannot ignore the special difficulties presented by the various aspects of the Negro problem. Yet so long as our governmental authorities condone or tolerate this kind of lawlessness, just so long will it be preposterous for us to boast of our civilization. The situation is one with which, primarily, the state of Georgia should deal. The thirteenth amendment applies to it as well as to every other state. Murder is a capital crime there as well as in every other state. It is for the Georgia of Alexander H. Stephens and of Henry W. Grady to vindicate its fame as a civilized and lawabiding commonwealth. To that end it is incumbent upon it to bring inexorably to justice the indescribable wretches who have done these things, and to inflict upon them the fullest penalty of the law. It is incumbent upon it, too, to perform a thorough act of housecleaning; to search out and to put an end to every other practice of slavery within its borders; and to make sure that no more of it is ever undertaken. We assume with confidence that it will do so—indeed, it has already given proof that it intends to vindicate its good name. It will not be an easy task. There will probably be raised the facile but lying cry that the Negroes are planning an insurrection and a race war, in the hope that thus passions and apprehensions will be aroused to serve as red herrings across the trail. But such camouflage cannot prevail. We are told that the citizens of that region are generally scandalized and incensed at the reproach which has been brought upon them. That is a wholesome and a com- THE SOUTH FEARS THE N. A. A. C. P. NOT ONLY has W. J. Simmons, "imperial wizard" of the Ku Klux Klan, referred to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as the Klan's chief opponent; there comes now from the center of peonage in Georgia additional testimony to the fear of the National Association's throwing light into dark corners. For, at the trial of John Williams, who was accused of murdering Negro peons on his farm in Jasper county, Georgia, a special challenge was issued to talesmen before they were accepted as jurors. The reports of the trial state that in the course of the examination of veniremen, counsel for Williams "sought particularly to deter mine if any of the prospective jurors were members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, or if 'voluntary' counsel in the case received any part of their pay from that source." This is an encouraging sign, indicative of the widespread knowledge of the work the association is doing. When white men in Georgia are afraid that justice will be administered to one of their number because of the activities of the Advancement Association, it is proof positive that those activities are having a profound effect. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is acquiring the sort of reputation in the South which the Jewelers Protective Association used to enjoy in New York. For thirty years no burglar dared to rob a store with the emblem of this association in its window, for burglarks knew the Jewelers Protective Association would pursue them for ten years if necessary and at a cost of thousands of dollars, in order finally to bring them to justice. White oppressors of the Negro in the South are beginning to beware in this same way of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. With the support of all colored people this association can be made as potent in frightening white men into doing justice as the Ku Klux Klan used to be in frightening colored people into enduring injustice. mendable frame of mind, which should certainly be coupled with a stern resolution thoroughly and at whatever cost to purge themselves and the state of the causes and of the opportunities of their shame. If they should not do so, if Georgia should not prevail against those who have flouted her laws and sullied her name, then we should have to recall the plain and explicit words of the second section of the constitutional amendment we have quoted: "Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." There is nothing there about "concurrent" power, nor any such fantastic futility. Congress has the power to make the needed laws, and the executive has the power to enforce them. It would be because of the incredible event that the state of Georgia had failed in her duty. But whether through action of the state or of the nation, slavery must be abolished.—Harvey's Weekly. NO 27 CHEYENNE, WYO. NEWS AT A MEETING of the officers and members of the Second Church on Friday evening, April 8th, a call was extended to Rev. I. N. Whitten to pastor this church. The members of the Baptist Church and the Christian citizens of Cheyenne are fortunate to have secured the spiritual services of this true Christian gentleman. Rev. Whitten was born in 1884 in Little Rock, Ark., educated in the common school, accepted Christ March 10, 1907, baptized March 17th, called to ministry in May, 1908, ordained in July, 1917, and has pastored at La Junta and Akron, Colo., before coming to Cheyenne. On Thursday evening, April 7th, Rev. C. A. Miller of Denver preached a doctrinal sermon in which the principles of the Baptist faith were clearly explained and instruction prayerfully given. It was grand to see the young preacher stand firm for his doctrine. His theme, "If You Are a Baptist, Prove It, Be of One Mind, One Faith, One Baptism." The baptismal sermon was preached Sunday morning by Rev. I. N. Whitten. In the afternoon a number of candidates were baptised. On April 7th, Rev. Moderator G. S. Stacker granted Rev. E. W. Wright license to preach. Rev. Miller departed for Denver, where he is holding a revival meeting. Rev. Whitten departed on Monday; will return Saturday. Mrs. Whitten is expected to return with him. Mesdames Randall and Hegg were the dinner guests of Mrs. Daisy Thompson. Mr. Walter Davis is located at 415 W. Seventeenth street. Miss Rosa Belle Knight has purchased the Baker Cafe. The annual sermon of the I. B. P. O. E. W., No. 285, was held at the A. M. E. Church on Sunday evening. Rev. J. M. Endicott officiated and was assisted by Rev. Presiding Elder Pope. A large number of Elks and their friends attended. The church was decorated with proper colors. Benevolence, protection and co-operation was the theme of the evening. The ministry praised the officers and members for the good will displayed by the organization and co-operation of its members. FAMOUS WILLIAMS MURDER AND PEONAGE CASE IN GEORGIA FAMOUS WILLIAMS MURDER AND PEONAGE CASE IN GEORGIA PRACTICALLY ALL THE VICTIMS OF PEONAGE are illiterate and unintelligent. When they have a glimmering of their rights and talk or organizing to get justice they are regarded as dangerous. Education of the Negro is none too popular where hands are needed for cotton picking. The "awful tragedies," which Governor Dorsey says, "All true Georgians deplore," point to the necessity of a thorough investigation by the Department of Justice of the charges of peonage in the SOUTH.—New York Times. (In reference to the John S. Williams case in Newton county, Georgia, where he was convicted for murder and peonage of Negroes.—Editor.)

Reasonable limitation of personnel and ad-hoc armed for the navy and for the army a further reduction of enlisted strength when compatible with national security, to be accompanied by introduction of volunteer military training to be developed as reserve force. Washington, D. C.—President Harding, in one of the most important speeches made in years, touching upon many questions vital to the nation, addressed Congress as follows: Members of the Congress: You have been called into extraordinary session to give your consideration to national problems far too pressing to be long neglected. We face our task of legislation and administration amid conditions as difficult as our government has ever contemplated. Under our political system the people of the United States have charged the new Congress and the new administration with the solution—the readjustment, reconstruction and restoration which must follow in the wake of war. It may be regretted that we were so ill prepared for war's aftermath, so little made ready to return to the ways of peace, but we are not to be discouraged. Indeed, we must be the more firmly resolved to undertake our work with high hope, and invite every factor in our citizenship to join in the effort to find our normal, onward way again. The American people have appraised the situation and with that tolerance and patience which go with understanding they will give to us the influence of deliberate public opinion which ultimately becomes the edict of any popular government. They are measuring some of the stern necessities and will join in the give-and-take which is so essential to firm re-establishment. First in mind must be the solution of our problems at home, even though some phases of them are inseparably linked with our foreign relations. The surest procedure in every government is to put its own house in order. I know of no more pressing problem at home than to restrict our national expenditures within the limits of our national income, and at the same time measurably lift the burdens of war taxation from the shoulders of the American people. Extravagance Menace to Nation. One cannot be unmindful that economy is a much employed cry most frequently stressed in pre-election appeals, but it is ours to make it an outstanding and ever impelling purpose in both legislation and administration. The unrestrained tendencies to heedless expenditure and the attending growth of public indebtedness, extending from federal authority to that of state and municipality and including the smallest political subdivision, constitute the most dangerous phase of government today. The nation cannot restrain except in its own activities, but it can be exemplar in a wholesome reversal. The staggering load of war debt must be cared for in orderly funding and gradual liquidation. We shall hasten the solution and aid effectively in lifting the tax burdehs if we strike resolutely at expenditure. It is far more easily said than done. In the fever of war, our expenditures were so little questioned, the emergency was so impelling, appropriation was so unimpeded that we little noted millions and counted the treasury inexhaustible. It will strengthen our resolution if we ever keep in mind that a continuation of such a course means inevitable disaster. Our current expenditures are running at the rate of approximately five billions a year and the burden is unbearable. There are two agencies to be employed in correction: One is rigid resistance in appropriation and the other is the utmost economy in administration. Let us have both. I have already charged department heads with this necessity. I am sure Congress will agree; and both Congress and the administration may safely count on the support of all right minded citizens, because the burden is theirs. The pressure for expenditure, swelling the flow in one locality while draining another, is sure to defeat the imposing of just burdens and the effect of our citizenship protest outlay will be wholesome and helpful. I wish it might find its reflex in economy and thrift among the people themselves, because therein lies quicker recovery and added security for the future. The estimates of receipts and expenditures and the statements as to the condition of the treasury which the secretary of the treasury is prepared to present to you, will indicate what revenues must be provided in order to carry on the government's business and meet its current requirements and fixed-debt charges. Unless there are striking cuts in the important fields of expenditure, receipts from internal taxes cannot safely be permitted to fall below $4,000,000,000 in the fiscal year 1922 and 1923. This would mean total internal tax collections of about one billion less than in 1920 and one half billion less than in 1921. Tax Adjustment Essential. The most substantial relief from the tax burden must come for the present from the readjustment of internal taxes, and the revision or repeal of those taxes which have become unproductive and are so artificial and burdensome as to defeat their own purpose. A prompt and thorough-going revision of the internal tax laws, made with due regard to the protection of the revenues, is in my judgment, a requisite to the revival of business activity in this country. It is earnestly hoped, therefore, that the Congress will be able to enact, without delay, a revision of the revenue laws and such emergency tariff measures as are necessary to protect American trade and industry. It is of less concern whether internal taxation or tariff revision shall come first than has been popularly imagined, because we must do both, but the practical course for earliest accomplishment will readily suggest itself to the Congress. We are committed to the renewal of the excess profits tax and the abolition of inequities and unjustifiable exasperations in the present system. The country does not expect and will not approve a shifting of burdens. It is more interested in wiping out the necessity for imposing them and eliminating confusion and cost in the collection. Emergency Tariff Demanded The urgency for an instant tariff enactment, emergency in character and understood by our people that it is for the emergency only, cannot be too much emphasized. I believe in the protection of American industry, and it is our purpose to prosper America first. The privileges of the American market to the foreign producer are offered too cheaply today, and the effect on much of our own productivity is the destruction of our self-reliance, which is the foundation of the independence and good fortune of our people. Moreover, imports should pay their fair share of our cost of government. One who values American prosperity and maintains American standards of wages and living can have no sympathy with the proposal that easy entry and flood of imports will cheapen our costs of living. It is more likely to destroy our capacity to buy. Today American agriculture is menaced and its products are down to pre-war normals, yet we are endangering our fundamental industry through the high cost of transportation from farm to market and through the influx of foreign farm products, because we offer, essentially unprotected, the best market in the world. Farmer Must Be Protected. It would be better to err in protecting our basic food industry than paralyze our farm activities in the world struggle for restored exchanges. The maturer revision of our tariff laws should be based on the policy of protection, resisting that selfishness which turns to greed, but ever concerned with that productivity at home which is the source of all abiding good fortune. It is agreed that we cannot sell unless we buy, but ability to sell is based on home development and the fostering of home markets. There is little sentiment in the trade of the world. Trade can and ought to be honorable, but it knows no sympathy. While the delegates of the nations at war were debating peace terms at Paris and while we later debated our part in completing the peace, commercial agents of other nations were opening their lines and establishing their outposts with a forward look to the morrow's trade. It was wholly proper and has been advantageous to them. Tardy as we are, it will be safer to hold our own markets secure and build thereon for our trade with the world. A very important matter is the establishment of the government's business on a business basis. There was toleration of the easy-going, unsystematic method of handling our fiscal affairs when indirect taxation held the public unmindful of the federal burden. But there is knowledge of the high cost of government today, and the high cost of living is inseparably linked with high cost of government. There can be no complete correction of the high living cost until government's cost is notably reduced. Let me most heartily commend the enactment of legislation providing for the national budget system. Congress has already recorded its belief in the budget. It will be a very great satisfaction to know of its early enactment, so that it may be employed in establishing the economies and business methods so essential to the minimum of expenditure. Business Rights Recognized. I have said to the people we meant to have less of government in business as well as more business in government. It is well to have it understood that business has a right to pursue its normal, legitimate and righteous way unimpeded and it ought have no call to meet government competition where all risk is borne by the public treasury. There is no challenge to honest and lawful business success. But government approval of fortunate, untrammeled business does not mean toleration of restraint of trade or of maintained prices by unnatural methods. It is well to have legitimate business understand that a just government, mindful of the interests of all the people, has a right to expect the co-operation of that legitimate business in stamping out the practices which add to unrest and inspire restrictive legislation. Anxious as we are to restore the onward flow of business, it is fair to combine assurance and warning in one utterance. One condition in the business world may well receive your inquiry. Deflation has been in progress but has failed to reach the mark where it can be proclaimed to the great mass of consumers. Reduced cost of basic production has been recorded, but high cost of living has not yielded in like proportion. For example, the prices on grain and livestock have been deflated, but the cost of bread and meats is not adequately reflected therein. It is to be expected that non-perishable staples will be slow in yielding to lowered prices, but the maintained retail costs in perishable foods cannot be justified. I have asked the Federal Trade Commission for a report of its observations and its provisions and its attributes, in the main, the failure to adjust consumers cost to basic production costs to the exchange of information by "open price associations" which operate, evidently within the law, to the very great advantage of their members and equal disadvantage to the consuming public. Without the spirit of hostility or haste in accusation of profiteering, some suitable inquiry by Congress might speed the price readjustment to normal relationship, with helpfulness of both producer and consumer. A measuring rod of fair prices will satisfy the country and give us a business revival to end all depression and unemployment. Rail Rates Must Drop. The great interest of both the producer and consumer—indeed, all our industrial and commercial life, from agriculture to finance—in the problems of transportation will find its reflex in your concern to aid re-establishment, to restore efficiency and bring transportation cost into a helpful relationship rather than continue it as a hindrance to resumed activities. It is little to be wondered that ill-considered legislation, the war strain, government operation in heedlessness of cost and the conflicting programs, or the lack of them, for restoration have brought about a most difficult situation, made doubly difficult by the low tide of business. All are so intimately related that no improvement will be permanent until the railways are operated efficiently at a cost within that which the traffic can bear. If we can have it understood that Congress has no sanction for government ownership, that Congress does not levy taxes upon the people to cover deficits in a service which should be self-sustaining, there will be an avowed foundation on which to rebuild Freight Discourages Production. Freight carrying charges have mounted higher and higher until commerce is halted and production discouraged. Railway rates and costs of operation must be reduced. Congress may as well investigate and let the public understand wherein our system and the federal regulations are lacking in helpfulness or hindering in restrictions. The remaining obstacles which are the heritance of capitalistic exploitation must be removed and labor must join management in understanding that the public which pays, is the public to be served and simple justice is the right and will continue to be the right of all the people. Transportation over highways is little less important but the problems relate to construction and development and deserve your most earnest attention, because we are laying a foundation for a long time to come and the creation is very difficult to visualize in its great possibilities. The highways are not only feeders to the railroads and afford relief from their local burdens, they are actually lines of motor traffic in interstate commerce. They are the smaller arteries of the larger portion of our commerce and the motor car has become an indispensable instrument in our political, social and industrial life. There is begun a new era in highway construction, the outlay for which runs far into hundreds of millions of dollars. Bond issues by road districts, counties and states mount to enormous figures, and the country is facing such an outlay that it is vital that every effort shall be directed against wasted effort and unjustifiable expenditures. The federal government can place no inhibition on the expenditure in the several states; but since Congress has embarked upon a policy of assisting the states in highway improvement, wisely, I believe, it can assert a wholly becoming influence in shaping policy. With the principle of federal participation acceptably established, probably never to be abandoned, it is important to exert federal influence in developing comprehensive plans looking to the promotion of commerce and apply our expenditures in the surest way to guarantee a public return for money expended. Federal Aid to Be Guarded. The large federal outlay demands a federal voice in the program of expenditure. Congress can not justify a mere gift from the federal purse to the several states, to be pro-rated among the counties for road betterment. Such a course will invite abuses which it were better to guard against in the beginning. The laws governing federal aid should be amended and strengthened. The federal agency of administration should be elevated to the importance and vested with authority comparable to the work before it. And Congress ought to prescribe conditions to federal appropriations which will necessitate a consistent program of uniformity which will justify the federal outlay. I know of nothing more shocking than the millions of public funds wasted in improved highways, wasted because there is no policy of maintenance. The neglect is not universal, but it is very great. There is nothing the Congress can do more effectively to end this shocking waste than condition all federal aid on provisions for maintenance. Highways, no matter how generous the outlay for construction, cannot be maintained without patrol and constant repair. Such conditions insisted upon in the grant of federal aid will safeguard the public which pays and guard the federal government against political abuses, which tend to defeat the very purposes for which we authorize federal expenditure. Linked with rail and highway is the problem of water transportation—inland, coastwise and trans-oceanic. It is not possible on this occasion to suggest to Congress the additional legislation needful to meet the aspirations of our people for a merchant marine. In the emergency of war we have constructed a tonnage equalling our largest expectations. Its war cost must be discounted to the actual values of peace, and the large difference charged to the war emergency and the pressing task is to turn our assets in tonnage to an agency of commerce. It is not necessary to say it to Congress, but I have thought this to be a fitting occasion to give notice that the United States means to establish and maintain a great merchant marine. Our differences of opinion as to a policy of upbuilding have been removed by the outstanding fact of our having built. If the intelligent and efficient administration under the existing laws makes established service impossible, the executive will promptly report to you. Manifestly our laws governing American activities on the seas are such as to give advantage to those who compete with us for the carrying of our own cargoes and those which ought naturally to come in American bottoms through trade exchanges, then the spirit of American fair play will assert itself to give American carriers their equality of opportunity. This republic can never realize its righteous aspirations in commerce, can never be worthy the traditions of the early days of the expanding republic until the millions of tons of shipping which we now possess are coordinated with our inland transportation and our shipping has government encouragement, not government operation, in carrying our cargoes under our flag, over regularly operated routes, to every market in the world, agreeable to American exchanges. It will strengthen American genius and management to have it understood that ours is an abiding determination, because carrying is second only to production in establishing and maintaining the flow of commerce to which we rightfully aspire. It is proper to invite your attention to the importance of the question of radio communication and cables. To meet strategic, commercial and political needs, active encouragement should be given to the extension of American owned and operated cable and radio service. Between the United States and possessions there should be ample communication facilities providing direct service at reasonable rates. Between the United States and other countries not only should there be adequate facilities, but these should be, so far as practicable, direct and free from foreign intermediation. Friendly cooperation should be extended to international efforts aimed at encouraging improvement of International communication facilities and designed to further the exchange of messages. Private monopolies tending to prevent the development of needed facilities should be prohibited. Government owned facilities, wherever possible without unduly interfering with private enterprise or government needs, should be made available for general uses. Particularly desirable is the provision of ample cable and radio services at reasonable rates for the transmission of press matter, so that the American reader may receive a wide range of news and the foreign reader receive full accounts of American activities. The daily press of all countries may well be put in position to contribute to international understandings by the publication of interesting foreign news. Practical experience demonstrates the need for effective recognition of both domestic and international radio operation if this newer means of intercommunication is to be fully utilized. Especially needful is the provision of ample radio facilities for those services where radio only can be used, such as communication with ships at sea, with aircraft and with out of the way places. International communication by cable and radio requires cooperation between the powers concerned. Whatever the degree of control deemed advisable within the United States, government licensing of cable landings and of radio stations transmitting and receiving international traffic seems necessary for the protection of American interests and for the securing of satisfactory reciprocal privileges. Aviation is inseparable from either the army or the navy and the government must, in the interests of national defense, encourage its development for military and civil purposes. The encouragement of the civil development of aeronautics is especially desirable as relieving the government largely of the expense of development and of maintenance of an industry, now almost entirely borne by the government through appropriations for the military, naval and postal air service. The air mail service is an important initial step in the direction of commercial aviation. It has become a pressing duty of the federal government to provide for the regulation of air navigation; otherwise independent and conflicting legislation will be enacted by the various states which will hamper the development of aviation. The national advisory committee for aeronautics, in a special report on this subject, has recommended the establishment of a bureau of aeronautics in the Department of Commerce for the federal regulation of air navigation, which recommendation ought to have legislative approval. I recommend the enactment of legislation establishing a bureau of aeronautics in the Navy Department to centralize the control of naval activities in aeronautics and removing the restrictions on the personnel detailed to aviation in the navy. Be Generous With Ex-Soldiers. The American people expect Congress unfaithfully to voice the gratitude of the republic in a generous and practical way to its defenders in the World War, who need the supporting arm of the government. Our very immediate concern is for the crippled soldiers and those deeply needing the helping hand of the government. Conscious of the generous intent of Congress, and the public concern for the crippled and dependent, I invited the services of a volunteer committee to inquire into the administration of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, the Federal Board for Vocational Training and other agencies of government in caring for the ex-soldiers, sailors and marines of the World War. The immediate extension and utilization of the government's hospital facilities in the army and navy will bring relief to the acute conditions most complained of, and the hospital building program may be worked out to meet the needs likely to be urgent at the time of possible completion. Favors Public Welfare Department. I assume the maternity bill, already strongly approved, will be enacted promptly, thus adding to our manifestation of human interest. It is needless to call your attention to the unfinished business inherited from the preceding Congress. The appropriation bills for army and navy will have your early decision. Neither branch of the government can be unmindful of the call for reduced expenditures for those departments of our national defense. The government is in accord with the wish to eliminate the burdens of a heavy armament. The United States ever will be in harmony with such a movement toward the higher attainments of peace. But we shall not entirely discard our agencies for defense until there is removed the need to defend. We are ready to co-operate with other nations to approximate disarmament, but merest prudence forbids that we disarm alone. League of Nations Scrapped. In the existing League of Nations, world governing with its super-powers, this republic will have no part. There can be no misinterpretation, and there will be no betrayal of the deliberate expression of the American people in the recent election; and, settled in our decision for ourselves, it is only fair to say to the world in general, and to our associates in war in particular, that the league covenant can have no sanction by us. The aim to associate nations to prevent war, preserve peace and promote civilization, our people most cordially applauded. We yearned for this new instrument of justice, but we can have no part in a committal to any agency of force in unknown contingencies; we can recognize no super-authority. Manifestly the highest purpose of the League of Nations was defeated in linking it with the treaty of peace and making it the enforcing agency of the victors of the war. Approves Peace Resolution. "The American aspiration, indeed, the world aspiration, was an association of nations, based upon the application of justice and right, binding us in conference and co-operation for the prevention of war and pointing the way to a higher civilization and international fraternity in which all the world might share. In rejecting the league covenant and uttering that rejection to our own people, and to the world, we make no surrender of our hope and aim for an association to promote peace in which we would most heartily join. We wish it to be conceived in peace and dedicated to peace, and will reilquish no effort to bring the nations of the world into such fellowship, not in the surrender of national sovereignty but rejoicing in a nobler exercise of it in the advancement of human activities amid the compensations of peaceful achievement. In the national referendum to which I have adverted we pledged out efforts toward such an association and the pledge will be faithfully kept. In the plight of policy and performance we told the American people we meant to seek an early establishment of peace. The United States alone among the allied and associated powers continues in a technical state of war against the central powers of Europe. This anomalous condition ought not to be permitted to continue. To establish the state of technical peace without further delay, I should approve a declaratory resolution by Congress to that effect, with the qualifications essential to protect all our rights. Such action would be the simplest keeping of faith with ourselves and could in no sense be construed as a parting with those with whom we shared our sacrifices in war, for these powers are already at peace. Such a resolution should undertake to do no more than thus declare the state of peace which all America craves. It must add no difficulty in effecting, with just reparations, the restoration for which all Europe years, and upon which the world's recovery must be founded. Neither former enemy nor ally can mistake America's position, because our attitude as to responsibility for the war and the necessity for just reparations already has had formal and very earnest expression. It would be unwise to undertake to make a statement of future policy with respect to European affairs in such a declaration of a state of peace. Must Safeguard Essential Interests. Must Safeguard Essential Interests. The wiser course would seem to be the acceptance of the confirmation of our rights and interest as already provided, and to engage under the existing treaty, assuming, of course, that this can be satisfactorily accomplished by such explicit reservations and modifications as will secure our absolute freedom from inadvisable commitments and safeguard all our essential interests. We must not allow our vision to be impaired by the conflict among ourselves. The weariness at home and the disappointment to the world have been compensated in the proof that this republic will surrender none of the heritage of nationality, but our rights in international relationship have to be asserted; they require establishment in compacts of amity; our part in readjustment and restoration cannot be ignored and must be defined. With the super-governing league definitely rejected and with the world so informed, and with the status of peace proclaimed at home, we may proceed to negotiate the covenanted relationships so essential to the recognition of all the rights everywhere of our nation, and play our full part in joining the peoples of the world in the pursuits of peace once more. To the complete re-establishment of peace and its contracted relationships, to the realization of our aspirations for nations associated for world helpfulness without world government, for world stability on which humanity's hopes are founded, we shall address ourselves, fully mindful of the high privilege and the paramount duty of the United States in this critical period of the world.

The revolt of natives in Belgian Congo last month during which fifty trading poets were burned, was fragmented by a native pretending to have discovered a charm making its possessor invisible and invulnerable, according to Congo advices received in Brussels. In western Konia Turks have created a special corps of men aged from 60 to 100 years. Its commander is 80 years old. A Greek destroyer in the Black sea has captured the pirate leader, Hassan, aged 95, who has been burning Greek sailboats and villages on the Pontius coast. The non-union crew of the steamer Huttaita, operated by the Paraguayan government between Paran river ports, stole off with the vessel and headed north toward Brazil, according to advices from Asunción. A Paraguayan gunboat was sent in pursuit, dispatches received at Buenos Aires reported that the Huttaita was sunk near Concepción. Former Empress Augusta Victoria of Germany died in Doorn, Holland. Born Oct. 22, 1858, at Dolzig, Augusta Victoria was the oldest daughter of Grand Duke Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg, and ranked as a princess of Schleswig-Holstein. Her early childhood was spent at Kiel. She married to the then Prince William of Prussia on Feb. 27, 1881. They had six sons and one daughter. Voicing the opinion of the Danish trading community of Copenhagen the Politiken suggests that King Christian combine his visit next June to Iceland and Greenland with a visit of state to President Harding in Washington. The suggestion is that the king pay this visit to thank the United States as the first nation to recognize Danish sovereignty over Greenland and for the introduction by its representatives of the principle of self-determination into the peace treaty. It is no longer doubted in circles in Paris considered to have the best sources of information that France will, either alone or in common with the allies, take radical action against Germany if satisfactory assurances regarding the payment of reparations are not forthcoming by May 1. What form the action will take is still only a matter of surmise, but semi-official opinion is that it will be such as to impress the German people as they have not been impressed since the armistice. GENERAL Thirty-six of the forty-five men tried during the last four weeks in Federal Court at Macon, Ga., on charges of conspiracy to rob the American Railway Express Company of goods valued at more than $1,000,000, were found guilty and the other nine were acquitted. Love for his dog nearly cost the life of Harold O'Grady, 7, in Chicago. Harold and his brother, Ray, 6, live next door to the Livingston warehouse, which was burned at a loss of $100,000. The father of the boys rushed into his home and rescued them. Harold remembered his dog and rushed back into the house after it. As walls caving in, firemen rescued him. He had the dog. The United States battleship Connecticut and the tank steamer S. C. Folger, from Port Arthur, Texas, collided off Point Breeze, four miles south of Camden, N. J. The Connecticut was steaming up the Delaware river when the tide caused the moorings of the S. C. Folger to break. The Connecticut was not badly damaged. S. O. S. calls from the Connecticut, said the Folger was in danger of sinking and aid was rushed at once. After holding John West, alias Edward Roberts, in jail as a suspect, Lincoln, Neb., police released him, only to receive notice from Joliet, Ill., that he was wanted for violating a parole granted by the Illinois penitentiary authorities. Advices from Joliet said West had served two terms in San Quentin prison. Federal authorities in Jacksonville, Fla., have taken steps to seize the Japanese steamship Erie Maru, aboard which twelve cases of liquor were confiscated after officers had arrested seven Japanese sailors. One sailor was slightly wounded during a struggle with the officers. Officials said the ship's manifest showed only thirteen quarts of liquor aboard. Doubt that the Cherokee Indian nation can properly lay claim to 14,000,000 acres of land in Oklahoma and Texas, as was done in a petition filed in the United States Supreme Court because it has no official or legal status as a nation, was expressed by S. P. Freeling, attorney general of Oklahoma. He said, however, it might be possible for individual descendants of members of the nation to support the petition. Indictments charging conspiracy to dynamite buildings owned by several junk dealers were returned by the grand jury in Chicago against twenty men, two of whom are labor leaders. The indictments are the result of a controversy between labor leaders and junk dealers opposed to a union of junk peddlers. Attorneys for W. D. Haywood and other I. W. W. convicted of conspiracy to obstruct the government's prosecution of the war will seek to save Haywood and his associates from prison by requesting general amnesty. Nitroglycerin and crowbars opened the vault of the Bennett State Bank at Bennett, Colo., for a robber gang, but nothing of value was taken. It is believed the robbers were frightened away. The safe, containing in the neighborhood of $50,000, was not disturbed. The attempted robbery was discovered by Cashier C. R. Campbell. A screen taken from one of the bank windows was found in the railroad yards. It is believed the attempted robbery was the work of the same gang that tried to rob the Strasburg bank a month ago.

WASHINGTON Declarations that the Navy Department is ready to take what Congress will appropriate and keep the fleet "ready and fit to fight," and that the War Department is pursuing a policy of retrenchment in an effort to get down to "normalcy" were made by Secretaries Denby and Weeks before the American Legion post of the National Press Club at Washington, D. C. "Go to it," smilingly exclaimed Postmaster General Hays after Dr. Hubert Work of Pueblo had taken the oath of office and prepared to assume his duties as first assistant postmaster general.

Dawes was chairman. President Harding has before him two proposals for settlement of the dispute between the railroads and their employés. One proposition, that from S. Davis Warfield and Darwin P. Kingsley, representing railroad security owners, is that he use his good offices to bring about regional conferences between the carriers and their men. The other, submitted by B. M. Jewell for the five railroad mechanical unions, is that he bring about a general conference. Railroads suffered a deficit in February of $7,205,000, while 106 out of 200 reporting to the Interstate Commerce Commission failed to earn expenses, and taxes, as against a deficit of $1,167,800 for January, with 100 out of 202 failing to make expenses, according to tabulations made public by the Association of Railway Executives.

There is a bitter battle on against "rent hogs." The Holly Sugar Corporation, operating a factory in Swink, has just issued checks aggregating $125,000 to farmers, the amount of the bonus of $1 a ton promised last year. Contracts for this year are coming in rapidly, with every promise of the usual large acreage, contrary to recent reports that the factory would not operate this year. The residents of Ophir and Ophir Loop have drawn a petition asking the state highway to aid them in building a road between Ophir and Silverton.

HARDING'S MESSAGE REVIVES HOPE IN NATIOIN. ST. Harding's message to the Sixty-seventh Constitutes of America is one of the greatest instruments to the American people, and the frank dealing of nations confronting this country and the suggestion offered by way of solution, will surely bring relief to attached to our present conditions and revive an nation that will help to unload post-war activity in their effect upon the people, revive our host fundamental principles of our land, and re-establish and confidence with the nations of the world in the eminent position we had as a Nation of Nationwide and foster anything for the good of the world. permanent happiness for the people therein. A simple and wonderful message will serve to proof their vision, the deeper human sympathy for his life of spirit, the strong determination of the Presidency of the rights of the people, the upholding of nation for international contracts and obedience to treatise of income and expenditures, and most of all a house in order' so as to set a real and true exam to present our civilization, our government, our reliance in growth, development and progress. Says the Presidency be the solution of our problems at home, even if them are inseparably linked with our foreign relations in every government is to put its own house in expression fail to impress, when we are fully cognizant in our house" for these many years, and corrected if the resolution to abolish same had been. Having every reason to believe in our present him in the different public positions he has occupied, S. senator, we feel that the real spirit of America's actions from time to time, will prevail, and in that has caused our hearts to bleed so often, we meditate to Congress to wipe out such a blot on our much concern, he said: "Somewhat related to the thesis is the race question. Congress ought to wipe away from the banners of a free and orderly repressed that in mutual tolerance, understanding, inter-dependence of the races, and the maintenance of the road to righteous adjustment."

PRESIDENT HARDING'S MESSAGE REVIVES HOPE IN AMERICAN NATIOIN. sent to the American people, and the frank dealing with the momentous questions confronting this country and the suggestions and recommendations offered by way of solution, will surely bring relief from the burdensome role attached to our present conditions and revive a hope in this great American nation that will help to unload post-war actions that have been paralyzing in their effect upon the people, revive our hope in a restoration of the fundamental principles of our land, and re-establish and maintain our prestige and confidence with the nations of the world, thereby restoring to us the eminent position we had as a Nation of Nations, ever ready to help encourage and foster anything for the good of the world and an insurance of permanent happiness for the people therein. A few quotations from this noble and wonderful message will serve to proof the depth of soul, the breadth of vision, the deeper human sympathy for his fellow-man, yet the firmness of spirit, the strong determination of the President for the preservation of the rights of the people, the upholding of national integrity, the respect for international contracts and obedience to treaties, the regulation of our national income and expenditures, and, most of all, the putting of "our own house in order" so as to set a real and true example for those to whom we present our civilization, our government, our religion as standards for their growth, development and progress. Says the President: "First in mind must be the solution of our problems at home, even though some phases of them are inseparably linked with our foreign relations. The surest procedure in every government is to put its own house in order." How can such an expression fail to impress, when we are fully cognizant of facts relating to "disorder in our house" for these many years, and which could have been corrected if the resolution to abolish same had been in the spirit of our leaders. Having every reason to believe in our present leader as we have followed him in the different public positions he has occupied, and more closely as U. S. senator, we feel that the real spirit of Americanism, as evidenced by his actions from time to time, will prevail, and in dealing with this matter that has caused our hearts to bleed so often, we have faith in his recommendation to Congress to wipe out such a blot on our civilization when, with much concern, he said: "Somewhat related to the foregoing human problems is the race question. Congress ought to wipe the stain of barbaric lynching from the banners of a free and orderly representative democracy. I am convinced that in mutual tolerance, understanding, charity, recognition of the inter-dependence of the races, and the maintenance of the rights of citizenship lies the road to righteous adjustment." The Colorado Statesman does not hesitate to express its confidence in our President and requests all members of the colored population to resurrect the hope that was shattered in their belief of America's democracy, as the skill of Mr. Harding as the captain at the national helm, and the ability and honesty of purpose of his cabinet as chief officers, also the crew, consisting of his senators and congressmen, will surely bring about an amelioration of conditions advantageous to all citizens, making us proud of our country, our government and its people. On the second page of this issue will be found the text of the President's speech in full. AN UNSHACKLED DENVER. "Know then thyself, presume not God to scan, The proper study of mankind is man."—Pope. DENVER with all her popularity must be placed in the category of those cities that have suffered from the lack of real men to handle her affairs, which causes her to be in such a serious condition at the present time, that no longer will the people support men on their appearances, but make a thorough study of the individual, so as to be relieved from the burden hitherto borne by us and build our city on that stability of action which will command and attract the attention of the nation at large, placing us upon a higher plane and in a better sphere of usefulness. with all her popularity must be placed in the cat that have suffered from the lack of real men to handle her to be in such a serious condition at the war will the people support men on their appearance of the individual, so as to be relieved from the b and build our city on that stability of action which the attention of the nation at large, placing us a better sphere of usefulness. One month of May the people of Denver will be members of the Board of Education, one city auditor and nine aldermen. Our reason for reminding During the month of May the people of Denver will be called upon to elect two members of the Board of Education, one city auditor, one election commissioner and nine aldermen. Our reason for reminding our colored voting element in this detailed manner is for the sole purpose of getting them thoroughly informed on these important events, which contribute to our betterment or our detriment. Our people must engage to the fullest in all educational interests, as our standing in this country and our advancement in civilization will only be recognized when we can compete as a whole favorably with other races. The laws of God and nature compel a difference between the educated and the uneducated, and while there are some of us who have been deprived of such advantages, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, now that the means present themselves to accomplish the ends we should be particularly interested in these two elections, which will be worth so much to us if we support men of broad shoulders who can bear the unjust criticisms of a public and carry out their plans beneficial to a community even at the cost of self-sacrifice and self-denial. The COLORADO STATESMAN, in its advice to the people, makes it clear that the candidates for these positions must be studied, not from an angle, but as the mariner puts it, from all points of the compass.

BOARD CANCELS WAGE AGREEMENT BOARD CANCELS WAGE AGREEMENT DISPUTES ON QUESTION OF PAY LEFT TO EACH ROAD AND ITS EMPLOYES. PACTS ARE ABROGATED NATIONAL AGREEMENTS ON U. S. RAILROADS ARE CANCELLED Chicago, April 15.—National agreements defining working conditions for employés on all American railroads formerly under the Federal Railroad Administration yesterday were ordered abrogated, effective July 1, by the Railroad Labor Board. The board called on the officers and system organizations of employés of each railroad to select representatives "to confer and to decide" as much of the rules controversy as possible. "Such conferences shall begin at the earliest possible date," the decision said. While the decision did not specifically say so, members of the board said that all disputes as to rules and working conditions automatically were referred back to individual conferences between each individual road and its employés. This method of procedure had been sought by the railroads, whereas the labor side had favored a national conference between representatives of all union roads and all unions. The decision affected all railroad employés except those in train service who are under separate agreements between the railroads and the four big brotherhoods. In connection with the conference negotiations, the board laid down a set of sixteen principles which are to serve as a foundation for any rules which may be agreed to. The present general rules hearing before the labor board, in progress since Jan. 10, will continue until both sides have completed their testimony, following which the board "will promulgate such rules as it determines Just and reasonable as soon after July 1 as is reasonably possible and will make them effective as of July 1." The sixteen principles outlined by the board were drawn up by Henry T. Hunt of the public group and upheld the right of the employés to organize for lawful purposes, the right of employees to negotiate through their own representatives, the right of seniority and the principle of the eight-hour day. It was specified that "eight hours' work must be given for eight hours' pay." Espionage should not be practiced by either side, the decision said, and employés' representatives should have the right to make an agreement applying to all employés in the craft or class of the representatives. Brandied Chocolates Are Legal. Vancouver, B. C.—Brandied chocolates, a Vancouver product, on which Seattle customs officials were asked to make a ruling as to the application of the prohibition act, promise to be popular in Seattle with the receipt of rush orders from the Washington metropolis, following the decision of customs officials that candy flavored with liquor does not come under the provisions of the Volstead law. The manufacturer received the following message from a Seattle firm: "Favorable decision. Rush us twelve or fifteen boxes immediately." May Lose Wireless Through Dispute. Miami, Fla.—The difficulty between the Western Union Telegraph Company and the United States government may result in the loss of telegraphic connection between the Western Union and the Miami Beach wireless station, it has been learned here. Loss of a valuable section of cable also is involved. United States warships are now preventing removal of a cable across Biscayne bay from a small island now being constructed. Boy's Death Caused by Whipping. Los Angeles, Calif.—Frank Lee, 14, died in a local hospital of spinal meningitis, which, according to three attending specialists, was brought on by a whipping said to have been administered him early in February by a teacher in a Las Vegas, Nev., grammar school for a "minor infraction of the rules." Officials here said that following an inquest an investigation will be sought. The boy was confined in the hospital ten weeks. British Peer Killed in Dublin. Dublin.-Sir Arthur Edward Vicars, former Ulster king of arms, was shot dead at Listowel and his residence was burned. A tag was attached to the body reading: "Traitors, beware. We never forget. I. R.

A Sinn Fein shoe factory here which was used as an assembling shop for bombs, was raided and two persons in it were arrested. Special Terms The Denver Gas & Electric Light Co.

Mrs. Virginia Phelps (white), from the coupon division, Treasury Department, under the management of Mr. Leak, in making her tour through the Senate Office building, entered the office of Senator Nicholson of Denver, Colo., and said: "I want to see the senator, please." Mr. Perkins asked her her name and state; also her business. Her answer was: "I am using my annual leave to go around and appeal to their manhood not to aboint a Negro register of the treasury." She was asked why. Her answer was that "there are more than a thousand beautiful white girls who would come in contact with the 'nigger.'" She was further asked would it demoralize the department by having a Negro for register of the treasury, and would the office force walk out as a whole on his being appointed? Her answer was that she "didn't believe they would, because there are many that are expecting to get higher positions when others resign. Then, too, some others have a liking for the Negro."

Mr. Perkins said that he did not believe that Negroes wanted or cared for social equality, and that it was a bugaboo of the South. She answered that "the black Negro didn't want social equality, but the yellow ones in Washington do." Mr. Perkins said: "We of Colorado look at the Negro problem from a broader point of view than you Southerners; and the twelve million Negroes have to be recognized politically because, as a whole, they have been loyal to the Republican party. I am afraid you will have a Negro for register of the treasury." She said: "The office force of the department has sent a petition to the President asking him not to appoint a Negro register of the treasury, reminding him of the fact that the women being given suffrage enabled him to be elected." The funny part of the incident is that she left the office unaware of the fact that she had sung her hymn of Southern hatred to a Negro, and carrying with her his personal card to be presented to a senator who knew him quite well and would be able to see the joke played on a tar-heel from North Carolina. Mr. Frederick Perkins is a Negro from Denver, Colo., and is in the office with Senator S. D. Nicholson. Mrs. Virginia Phelps left the office without seeing the senator.—Washington Eagle. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Mrs. J. P. Watson of Pueblo, solicitor for the Lincoln Home Association for old folks and dependent children, was in the city the past week on business.

They were the house guests of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Gross during their stay here. GIRLS OF ST. PERPETUA GUILD SCORE SUCCESS.

THE STATE OF COLORADO House of Representatives DENEER Mr. Joseph D. D. Rivers, Editor of the Colorado Statesman, Denver, Colo. My dear Mr. Rivers: I feel I would be most ungrateful if I did not express through the columns of the Colorado Statesman my sincere appreciation of the loyal and efficient service rendered by Mrs. Jessie Zackery, yourself and I, H. Harper during the Twenty-third General Assembly. I feel that the position of the colored race in the state of Colorado has greatly advanced through such able representation in the Twenty-third General Assembly. To my knowledge, no stenographer has demonstrated greater ability than Mrs. Zackery and colored women of our state should feel proud of being represented by so capable a representative. Permit me to again repeat that the position of the colored people has been placed on a higher plane through the presence of able servants to the people. With kind personal regards and best wishes, believe me The above letter, which conveys the feelings of the speaker of the House of the Twenty-third General Assembly, is proof, plain and simple, of appreciation for services from a meritorious standpoint. We have always adopted the idea of qualifying and keep on qualifying, so as to prepare for whatever task that may be presented to us or duty to be performed. The three persons mentioned, filled different spheres of employment during the recent session of the Legislature, and it is gratifying to note that each, in their respective sphere, was bent on giving the best that was in them in serving the people. As the Hon. Davis says, "Our women should feel proud of Mrs. Zackery," we not only endorse, but go a step farther and say, that being a Colorado product, all Colorado color should be proud of her, as when any of our people come in for commendation, and especially from particular sources or governmental heads, it is a certainty that more than ordinary exhibited itself. Mrs. Zackery is not only accomplished as a stenographer, but is also a very talented musician, and is very much appreciated among her own people as well as the other side. The other two persons above mentioned have been with this community so long, taking a part in everything for development and progress of its citizens, that further comment is unnecessary at this time, our only hope being that a reputation as this being worthy of emulation, we hope others may profit by the very wholesome standards set for them. A good lesson: Our people should qualify for positions. The other side should give preference to the qualified regardless of color.—Editor. PETITION DAY AT SHORTER CHURCH. The great drive for a quarter of a million members to the N. A. A. C. P., of which the Denver branch is expected to furnish one thousand, is now upon us. The opening gun is to be fired at Shorter Church Sunday, April 24, 3 p. m. This will be known as Petition Day, when every Negro in Denver will be given an opportunity to sign petitions to President Harding, requesting pardons for the imprisoned soldiers of the 24th Infantry, who participated in the Houston riots. The history of that memorable affair and the goading circumstances that led up to it, are so fresh in the minds of all as to need no repeating here. Let all of Denver and the Rocky Mountain regions speak out as one voice that the President of the U. S. may know we stand a united people for our every right as American citizens. The First National Bank of Denver, Colorado FIRST NATIONAL BANK Standard Prices Five Dollars Up Under Armed Guard Night and Day The ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD BY THE DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION. At the regular monthly meeting of the Denver Colored Civic Association at Fern Hall on last Tuesday evening a large attendance was out early and great interest was displayed in all the important matters that came up for discussion and action. Before the regular business of the association was taken up, Mr. Leroy J. Perkins, vice president and manager of the Colorado Investment and Trading Company, was given time and opportunity to present the merits of the company. At the conclusion of Mr. Perkins' address the president placed before the association the consideration of the question of affiliation with the Denver Civic and Commercial Association. After a thrilling and lengthy discussion the association voted to accept affiliation with the Denver Civic and Commercial Association. There was a lively interest shown by the members in securing a package of the assorted garden seed sent to us by our friend and congressman, the Hon. William N. Vaile. The meetings of the association are growing in interest and the membership is on the increase. FORMER DENVER CITIZEN PASSES AWAY. Mrs. Lucy Hall, former resident of Denver and popular for several years in church and club circles, died in Chicago last Monday, April 11, news having been received by telegram to her sister, Mrs. Rose Estell. The deceased was the mother of Miss Susie Hall, one of our leading educational characters, who after graduating from the East Denver High School entered Howard University, Washington, D. C., and took the full teachers' course, graduating a few years ago. Both mother and daughter were very devoted to each other and were highly respected here and in Chicago, where they resided for nearly five years and formed many friends and acquaintances. Deceased leaves a husband, son, daughter and grandchildren. Her original home was Springfield, Mo.. The Colorado Statesman offers its sincere sympathy to the bereaved.

Michaelson's. 15th and Larimer Streets ST Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The meeting last Sunday afternoon was more largely attended than any meeting for some time. The speaker, Mr. H. H. Haynes, told of the colored people in Cleveland and in other great centers of the East. He showed how the original population had been augmented and affected by the great immigration from the South, and how these newcomers themselves had been affected. He was of the opinion that both parties had gained something by the contact, although in many instances the new southern element had made the racial situation more acute—a condition which was to be expected. The campaign for the budget fund began with the week, and is still in progress with half of the scheduled teams in action, and they working about half their registered force. Up to this writing King's team is leading, with Bell's team a close second and bidding fair to overtake King's. Lightner declares that his fighters will eclipse everything in sight when once they get down to hard work. The drive will continue throughout next week. "The Georgia Horrors and What They Portend," will be the subject at the meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. Secretary Thomas J. Bell will lead the speaking, which will be followed by discussion. The program will begin at 4 o'clock. All are invited to be present at this interesting meeting. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Cammel & Co.

Pulitzer Building New York HIGHWAY BILL AGREED UPON The Twenty-third General Assembly of Colorado adjourned sine die last Thursday afternoon at the end of the longest "legislative day," fifty-six hours, on the state's record. Only nine senators were present when Senator Francis J. Knauss made the motion at 5:45 o'clock which ended the session for the Senate. Governor Shoup addressed both houses briefly in the afternoon, and virtually declared to the representatives that there will be no special session, as he had threatened there would be if action on the highway bill, which delayed adjournment, was not satisfactory. "You have done your work so well that I believe the next time you will be called together here will not be until there is a Twenty-fourth General Assembly," the governor said in the House. Following hours of conference and argument, the General Assembly accepted a report of its joint conference committee providing for a highway law to be administered by a highway advisory board of seven members acting in the capacity of advisers and a one-man executive branch supervised by the governor. The provisions of the bill as finally agreed upon by both houses are as follows: The highway advisory board is composed of seven members to be appointed by the governor at once, one member from each of the seven districts set out in the bill as originally introduced in the House as a one-man bill at the opening of the session. Denver constitutes the first district. This board meets in regular session twice each year and has full advisory powers over the work to be done by the board. It also has the naming of all employees of the board except the engineer, who is appointed and removable by the governor alone. The board meets and prepares an outline of the work it desires done and transmits this recommendation to the highway engineer who at once prepares a complete budget and working plans for such program, which he returns to the board for its information. Upon this budget the board in turn prepares its report to the governor and transmits the budget therefor. The governor is given full authority to approve, disapprove, alter and amend, in whole or in part, any budget or plan submitted by the board. Once completed, the highways and roads themselves then come under the control and direction of the board. The members of the board receive no salaries. They are appointed for terms of three years. Five members of the board constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but four must concur in order to act. The bill is practically the same as planned by the Good Ronds Association with the exception that the advisory board consists of seven members instead of the authority being vested in one man. To all practical intents and purposes it is such a one-man law as has been advocated ever since the old highway commission proved unwieldy and wasteful in its management. The agreement on the bill was only reached after one of the longest and most bitter fights ever waged in a General Assembly in this state over anything but a purely political question or the election of some United States senator before the direct elections came into vogue. It represented the battle of the county commissioners all over the state for the retention of the powers they possessed over the roads and highways of the state and counties. The enabling act, or bond issue for highways, finally passed the House as amended by the Senate immediately following the solution of the highway law itself, so that all that is necessary to start the highway machine has been accomplished. All danger of an extra session vanished with the agreement on these two measures. Besides winning a reputation for determination on the highway issue, Speaker Davis closed the session with the record of having made no decision which was appealed from, or for which appeal was sought. Veteran members said this record is unique for Colorado. Customarily, they declared, the final days of any session are marked by three to a dozen appeals a day from the speaker's rulings. The Twenty-first district of Rotary at its seventh annual conference in Pueblo launched a boom for the holding of the international convention of Rotary in this district at Estes Park in 1923. Governor Shoup has signed the bill repealing the State Railroad Commission law. By the signature the last chance to vote on a new bond issue for the construction of the proposed Moffat tunnel, which would connect eastern and western Colorado was lost. The railroad commission was created under an act of the Twenty-second General Assembly. The bill provided that railroad conditions of the state be improved by submitting to the vote of the people a proposal for the construction of a tunnel or tunnels through the Continental Divide near James peak.

IMPLEMENTS FOR CLEANING HOUSE Proper Tools and Materials Are Essential for Performing Tasks Easily and Quickly. KEEP THEM IN RIGHT PLACE Ideal Arrangement Is to Have Complete Set Stored in Orderly Manner in Convenient and Well-Ventilated Closet. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) No matter how carefully the housekeeper plans her daily, weekly, and semiannual housecleaning, it can not be done easily and quickly without suitable cleaning tools and materials. If they are kept together in one place, time, bother and nerve strength are saved. If they are given good care, money is saved. The ideal arrangement is to have a complete set stored in orderly fashion in a convenient, well-ventilated closet. Whether a few or many kinds are needed, it is economical to buy well-made, durable tools and keep them in good condition and grouped together. If possible, it is well to have on each floor a supply of some of the things most constantly used. As far as possible, cleaning tools should be put away clean and ready for use. Brooms, brushes and mops should be hung by strings or screw eyes fastened to the handles so that the weight does not rest on the straws, bristles or strings. Carpet sweepers also should be set so that the weight does not come on the brushes. The hair and lint which accumulates in brushes, especially in carpet sweepers, may be taken out with an old button-hook, a coarse comb or old scissors. Corn brooms may be washed in hot soapsuds, but care must be taken rot to let the water rust the wires which hold the straws to the handle. Bristle brushes may be washed with lukewarm water and a little ammonia ```markdown ``` When Possible Devote Closet to Cleaning-Day Supplies. (3 teaspoonfuls dilute ammonia to the quart) or borax (1 teaspoonful to the quart) and then rinsed in clear water. Water is likely to injure the back of a brush and to loosen the cement by which the bristles are held in place in the less expensive makes. The brush, therefore, should not be covered with water, but should be washed by sousling the bristles back and forth in shallow water; it should be dried with the bristles down or with the weight resting on the side of the brush. The drying should be done quickly, but not in an intense heat. Drying in surshine whitens light bristles. The weighted bristle brush used in polishing floors should be washed occasionally to prevent the accumulation of dirt and wax from darkening the wood. Renewing Oiled mops.

Before buying an especially expensive cleaning device or one used occasionally, such questions as the following should be considered: Will it be used enough to justify the cost? How much care in cleaning and storing will it require? Will it really save time and energy? Will it make some especially disagreeable task less unpleasant? A few well-chosen implements give better service and require less care than a large collection bought hapazhard. REMOVING DIRT FROM WALLS A Brush or Broom Covered With Soft Cloth Should Be Used—Avoid Rubbing Too Hard. Ordinary plastered and papered walls and cellings should be cleaned with a wall brush or a broom covered with soft cloth, such as cotton flannel. Light overlapping strokes should be used; heavy strokes rub the dirt in. Cotton batting is good for cleaning places that soil more quickly than the rest—for example, the wall over radiators, registers and stoves. The wall should be rubbed lightly with the cotton, which should be turned as it becomes soiled. There are commercial pastes and powders for cleaning wall papers, but, in general, these should be applied only by an expert. An amateur is likely to have a streaked wall if he attempts to use them. The so-called washable papers used in kitchens and bathrooms may be cleaned with a dampened cloth, but water must be used sparingly; if it seeps in, the paper will be loosened. Varnishing the paper in these rooms will make it more nearly impervious to moisture and steam and will prevent it from peeling, household specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture say. Household Questions Lime and iron both are found in apples. Lime is essential to digestion and iron to life itself. Embroidered garments should be pressed back down on an old bath towel or thick soft pad. The eyebrows should be brushed night and morning with a small brush that is sold for the purpose; this promotes their growth and trains them into shape. ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION The Kitchen Cabinet (@. 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) "Suppose that this here vessel," says the captain with a groan, "Should lose her bearin's, run away and bump upon a stone; "Suppose she'd shiver and go down, when save ourselves we couldn't!" The mate replies: SPRINGTIME GREENS. There are no more appetizing, stimulating and blood-purifying substances grown than the early spring greens, and every family should indulge as freely as possible in them. The piquant appetizing water cress may be found early along streams and running brook's. Dandelion greens may be procured in al- spring greens, and every family should indulge as freely as possible in them. The piquant appetizing water cress may be found early along streams and running brook's. Dandelion greens may be procured in almost any plot of ground; pepper grass and mustard should be sown early so that it may be used with lettuce as salad. Spinach, chard and sorrel, as well as other weed plants, are all wholesome cooked for greens. A platter of lamb chops garnished with a generous border of water cress may be eaten with only a sprinkling of salt. Dandelion greens found under leaves or pieces of wood are white, tender and especially delicious dressed with olive oil and vinegar with a bit of chopped onion. The tender young onions (the multipliers), are the earliest, full of mineral salts and vitamins needed to tone up the system. The poke in the South, the milkweed stalks, just as they appear, make most delicious eating; for asparagus lovers the milkweed makes a dish which will appeal, for it is very similar to it. Dock and wild mustard make very good cooked greens, while the sheep sorrel, so common in field and pasture, is another. For a simple lettuce salad there is no dressing which can take the place of the French dressing; but one which has the French dressing for a basis with other highly seasoned vegetables will make a pleasant variety such as: Springtime Salad.—Arrange a salad bowl with well-washed, crisp green water cress; sprinkle over it three or more tablespoonfuls of finely minced green onions, stems and all. Garnish with thickly sliced red radishes and serve with a well-seasoned French dressing passed with the salad. The blanched leaves of early dandelion may be used in place of the water cress, making a most attractive and tasty salad. DAILY MEALS. One of the important things of life is the planning and serving of three meals a day, which is the work of the housekeeper in every home. To serve these meals so that they appeal to the appetite and supply the prop- which is the work of the housekeeper in every home. To serve these meals so that they appeal to the appetite and supply the proper balance of food is no small task. No woman can feed her family well unless she plans her meals beforehand. The haphazard serving of what happens to be at hand is neither wise nor economical. The woman who does her marketing herself, as a rule, is the one who gets the best service and often choice foods which will add variety may be found which would otherwise be missed. The best cuts of meat will be seen and bought by the woman doing her own marketing and she learns much about meat by the daily visits with an intelligent butcher. Carrot Soup.—Scrape and slice six carrots. Peel and chop one onion. Melt three tablespoonfuls of bacon fat, add the prepared vegetables, cover and let cook very slowly for one hour or until soft; add three pints of broth made from chicken bones and chopped giblets, simmer for half an hour, thicken with a tablespoonful of potato flour or cornstarch mixed with a little cold water, added to the soup after straining. Season with salt, pepper and serve hot. Turban of Prunes.—Soak one and one-half pounds of prunes in water to cover, over night. The next day cook in the same water until the prunes are soft. Drain, remove the stones, measure the water and for every cupful add two tablespoonfuls of sugar and two teaspoonfuls of gelatine softened in cold water. Dip each prune into this and place a blanched almond for a kernel on the outside of each and place in rings inside of a ring mold. When the prunes are hard pour in the liquid to which a little red coloring matter has been added. When ready to serve turn out on a platter; fill the center with whipped cream garnished with cherries. Brussels Sprouts With Butter.—Cook one quart of Brussels sprouts in two quarts of boiling, salted water until tender. Drain on a cloth, then toss in a saucepan with one-fourth of a cupful of melted butter, until the butter is absorbed; sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve in a mound on a serving dish.

HOW MUCH FOOD SHALL WE EAT? It is safe enough to state that the average adult eats at least one-third more food than he needs and is able to assimilate. The excess of food overtaxes the digestive or organs and is thrown off in waste or stored up as excess fat. Fletcher says if we masticate our food twice or three times as long as we do we would eat less, be fully satis fed, feel much more com- and is able to assimilate The excess of food over taxes the digestive organs and is thrown off in waste or stored up as excess fat. Fletcher says if we masticate our food twice or three times as long as we do we would eat less, be fully satisfied, feel much more comfortable and eliminate a large percent of illnesses. Such a treatment costs nothing to try, but a little perseverance and stick-to-it-iveness. We know that there are four things that the food which we eat is to do for us: To generate heat, to keep the body warm, to rebuild and repair its waste tissues, to store up reserve energy for illness or emergency work, and to produce energy to enable us to walk and do all kinds of physical and mental work. Hard, mental labor or hard physical labor uses up more food than the inactive body, but even that needs food to keep it in working order. A calorie is a measure of heat or energy which a certain amount of food yields when burned in the body. Just as so much gas per cubic foot produces a certain heat or light, so too a definite amount of food gives off so much heat and energy measured in calories when we burn it in our bodies. An active adult needs from three thousand to three thousand seven hundred calories per day to cover all the body needs. Just accept this as we do that it takes two cupfuls of many things to make a pound. Science helps us in finding the calorie value of various kinds of food by giving us the hundred calorie portions of common dishes. For example one small baked apple without sugar yields one hundred calories, one-half a medium-sized grape fruit yields the same, also a large banana, three prunes with a tablespoonful of the juice; two slices, one-fourth inch thick of bread equal the same; one tablespoonful of butter, one cupful of cooked cereal, one tablespoonful of sugar, one-half cupful of whole milk and one-fourth cupful of thin cream, cocoa, one-half cupful. The happiness habit is just as necessary to our best welfare as the work habit, or honesty or square dealing habit. What a great thing common sense is—when we practice it. DAINTY, DELIGHTFUL DISHES. As lemon pie is a general favorite where pies abound, the following recipe will be one to cherish: Fluffy Lemon Pie.—Mix two tablespoonfuls of sugar and one-half teaspoonful of salt with one-quarter of a cup. Fluffy Lemon Pie.—Mix two tablespoonfuls of sugar and one-half teaspoonful of salt with one-quarter of a cupful of cold water to pour; add three-quarters of a cupful of boiling water and cook, stirring until boiling; add the juice of a lemon, the grated rind. Beat the whites of two eggs, also the yolks; fold the whites into the yolks, then add one cupful of sugar, adding a tablespoonful at a time, so that the mixture is kept very light. Bake in two crusts. Lettuce With Russian Dressing. Prepare the lettuce, chilling after draining, and pour over the dressing, or serve with the dressing passed in a bowl. Beat one-half cupful of French dressing, using six tablespoonfuls of oil and two of vinegar, salt and paprika to taste, gradually with an egg beater into one-half cupful of mayonnaise dressing, then add two tablespoonfuls of chill sauce and fold in one-third of a cupful of cream, whipped, with finely chopped red and green pepper to taste, with onion juice, parsley and cucumber pickle to season. Oatmeal Biscuit.—Sift together two-thirds of a cupful of pastry flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of salt; add two-thirds of a cupful of oatmeal, two teaspoonfuls of shortening into the flour and meal, then add milk to make a soft dough, adding a little at a time. Pat the biscuit into shape with a wooden spoon; set them into gem pans and bake in a very hot oven. Apricot Sponge.—Soften one table-spoonful of gelatin in one-quarter of a cupful of cold water, then add to a cupful of apricot pulp and juice, heated hot; add one-quarter of a cupful of sugar; stir until the mixture begins to thicken, then fold in the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs. Serve with whipped cream. Prunes may be used in place of apricots if preferred. String Beans, French Style.—If canned beans are used, heat thoroughly and drain very dry. Melt a tablespoonful of lard and add one-half clove of garlic cut into very thin slices. Cook without browning, then remove the garlic. Add a tablespoonful of minced parsley, then turn in the beans, stirring and mixing thoroughly with the fat and parsley. Serve very hot. Nestie Maxwell A. HASER, Prop.

The embroidery is usually in the same color as the suit, and puts it into the class of models for dressy wear. Embroidered panels are not the only feature that make this suit interesting. The straight lines of the coat, its front fastening with two pairs of link buttons that allow a handsome vestee to be glimpsed, the sleeves with flaring cuffs and the becoming collar are all good points in the new styles. It has a plain, straight-line skirt. ALTHOUGH the modes of this season promised to turn over a new leaf and write thereon, in very large letters the word "Simplicity," they appear to have lapsed from this good intention. Fashion has a wayward fancy and is not faithful to one idea for long, we know. Just now embroideries are among the lures she follows, and therefore there is much more of it than might have been expected after its long popularity last season. Suits have come under the spell and the new coats invite and receive much rich embellishment. The suit at the right employs several colors in the elaborate embroidery that enriches it and places it among the most formal models. The embroidery covers the lower portion of the coat and more than half of the long flowing sleeves, and entirely covers the small, turned-down collar. Two pairs of link buttons fasten this coat also and allow only a little of the lace vestee (that appears in the company of nearly all this season's suits) to show. But the collar is not always fastened at the neck, and when open it turns back, allowing a long V-shaped opening. Two examples of the embroidery mode in suits, as shown in the illustration above, have chosen solid embroidery in silk floss, but have handled it in very different ways. The handsome model at the left is one of many in which slashes about the skirt portion of the coat form panels. These panels appear to be signals for embroidery which has answered by coming to abide with them. Sometimes it is merely a border of handmade points or scallops about the edge of the panels and again it covers them, as in the suit pictured, where round- Coats Copy Lines of Capes 1 crepe and fastens with a single ornament below the waist line. The sleeves, upper part of the collar and set-in portions at the side are handsomely decorated with solid embroidery in silk matching the coat in color. IF WE may believe what we see in the new displays, and what we hear from centers where fashionables congregate, the vogue of capes increases and wraps become more and more capelike. This is reflected in coats, which grow ampler and wider. An emancipation proclamation has gone forth, and they are no longer to hang in at the bottom, but must insure favor by unconfined and flowing lines. The more capelike the better. This is the edict now, and it is not likely to change. Even though very ample lines suggest capes in the majority of coats, there are models that hang almost straight, and have narrow belts that hardly confine the long waist line. They are made with bell sleeves and are usually cut to ripple about the bottom, and with high collars. Those who are devoted to trim lines will admire these. The coats illustrated stand between them and the out-and-capes. The latter are being developed in many fabrics, and those employing heavy crepe weaves in silk are making a very successful new departure. It will be interesting to watch their progress. They are unlined and often made to match the dress with which they are worn. Brown, bisque, gray and black, with white in combination make the handsomest of the crepe capes shown so far. No better examples of the new mode could be selected than those that were chosen for illustration here, for they are smart in style and entirely practical. Any of the soft coatings are suited to these wraps, but duvetyn is a favorite fabric, and tan, navy, belge and brown tones are the best-liked colors. The tan coat at the left shows an inlay of silk on the collar, and an odd trimming simulating folds, across the back. It is lined with one of the heavy crepe weaves in silk and the long, pointed pieces, falling over the sleeves, are finished with handsome silk tassels.
