Colorado Statesman

THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY A SQUARE DEAL FOR THE NEGRO THIS SPEECH DELIVERED BY HORACE N. HAWKINS, JR., IN FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE ORATORICAL CONTEST, MONDAY, MAY 2, 1921 VOL. XXVII. WE ARE living in the most democratic country that has ever graced the surface of the earth. We say what we think and we act as we please without fear of punishment, for such are the fundamental principles of that glorious institution: The United States of America. We have proclaimed to the world that here is freedom for all, equal opportunities for all, and that it is our policy to welcome all newcomers with open arms, to amalgamate them and assimilate them into our national life. And we have lied to the world. Moreover we have done this knowingly, soothing our consciences, troubled at the gross misrepresentation, by the constant reiteration of our self-alleged superiority. I know and you know that we have never given the Negro equal opportunities with ourselves, that we have never made him truly free, that we have never amalgamated or assimilated him ito the ranks of our citizenry. I ask you, bearing with me a few moments, to cast aside the mask of hypocrisy. Let us follow the fortunes of an alien immigrating to this country and compare them with those of a Negro, an American citizen by birth. Here is Hans Kopf, a German, until recently employed in the shaughter of American citizens. He has enough money to travel to Denver, where he desires to live. He purchases a Pullman berth all the way, is accorded the best of service, makes friends and acquaintances on the train, and when he gets to Denver procures accommodations in the city's foremost hostelry. Here again is Sam Humboldt, a Negro in Alabama. He too wishes to travel to Denver, where he has heard that class prejudice does not prevail. There is no Pullman berth waiting for him, he may ride only in the chair car. Just as in the days of savery, he may eat only when all the white people are through. Upon reaching Denver he goes to any good hotel. The clerk is very sorry, but there are no vacant rooms at present. So he goes to another hotel with the same results. Then he realizes that no respectable place is open to him, and if he will go to bed, he must get lodging at some place that you and I would be ashamed to have mentioned in connection with our names. Having placed his baggage in his room he is thirsty, and walks up town to a soda fountain. Somehow the clerk doesn't seem to see him, and he finally leaves, going across the street to a restaurant and sitting down at the only vacant table. In just a minute the head waiter appears, tells him that the table is resedved, and suggests some place farther down the street as not being so crowded. Being possessed, in spite of common opinion to the contrary, with some degree of intelligence, he leaves without further ado, and seeks entrance to a moving picture show. Here he is again humiliated by being refused entrance. Similarly discouraged in all his undertakings, he at last sees the hopelessness of the situation, and, despairing of ever getting a square deal in this land of freedom, contents himself witheking out a mere existence, unappreciating of the higher things of life. Is it any wonder, my friends, that this man, whose only fault is a black skin, coupled with the apparent misfortune of being an American citizen, fails to come up to those standards which we have chosen for ourselves and would thrust upon him? The Negro did not seek entrance to this country of his own accord. He was compelled to come and little would he be to blame did he harbor hatred for the United States, seeing, as he does, privileges granted to foreigners which he, an American citizen by birth, is denied. And yet we call America the land of equality. On every side we hear cries to educate the Negroes, to teach something worth while, and that then they will be accepted on a par with the other races of the world. There is a colored man in this very city of Denver who is as honest and upright a man as it has ever been my privilege to meet. He was a soldier in the Boar war. He is a graduate of Oxford University, speaks seven languages and is a man of exceptional intelligence. He is capable of filling a responsible position, but today he is raking leaves in City park. There is no responsible position open to him, not because he is not a good citizen, not because he is unintelligent, not because his moral standards are low, but simply because his skin is black. Is it the Negro, then, who needs educating? We have not discriminated against the other peoples of the world on account of their ignorance. Rather let us say that it is the great American public that needs educating. When the people of the nation realize that square dealing is the first essential of peaceful co-operation, then, and then only, will the racial differences be quieted, and the racial elements reconciled. Fairness, my friends, is the "conditio sine qua non" of harmony. An so, by the exercise of the Golden rule, let us hasten the day when the word n-i-g-g-e-r is obsolete, and the United States is truly a united people, whose citizens are one in privilege, one in thought, and one in the eyes of the world. MASS. JUDGE SAYS NORTHERN NEGRO HAS NO CHANGE MASS. JUDGE SAYS NORTHERN NEGRO HAS NO CHANGE Brockton, Mass., July 30.—(Special.)—Judge Robert F. Raymond, presiding justice at the term of Superior Court in this city, caused a profound sensation when, after declaring that the Negro race in the North was not given even as much chance as in the South, he formally revoked the lower court sentence of Roy B. Scott, a colored youth of this city, of six months in the house of correction and placed him on probation. After delivering a brief but pointed address he called Scott to the bench, clasped his hand warmly and urged him to go forth and bravely face the battle of life. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 13 1921 ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION AMERICANWOODMEN WELCOME TO CITY AMERICANWOODMEN WELCOME TO CITY DENVER, Queen City of the Plains, always proud and majestic, bowed in humble submission and became a willing captive to the glories and gradeur of invading American Woodmen last Monday. Not since those memorable days in August, 1919, when the soldier boys of the S14th pioneer infantry returned from France, has there assembled at the Union Depot such an eager, happy throng as awaited the arrival of the special train from the East and South Monday afternoon. The train was scheduled to reach Denver at 2 p. m., but was three hours late. The delay, however, had no effect upon the spirits of the crowd. Everyone was jolly, everyone given to laughter. And when the train did pull into the station with fifteen standard Pullmans loaded to the guards, it was apparent to all that the American Woodmen had made good on every promise and every prediction. There were crack drill teams from many cities; the uniform rank division also was on hand. The big Cleveland, Ohio, military band and, by the way, one of the very best musical organizations ever heard in Denver, was here in striking uniforms of soldierly bearing. Then came a host of notables, both men and women, from various parts of the country; in fact, there was excitement and thrills enough for everybody. Shorter Church was the objective of the excursionists and friends, and there another large crowd was in waiting. The opening exercises of what promises to be a great convention week were held in the city auditorium, where the following program was admirably rendered: 1. Singing ..... "America" 2. Invocation ..... Rev. Floyd Smith 3. Instrumental Selection ..... Second Regular Band Orchestra, Cleveland, Ohio. 4. Welcome—On Behalf of the 4. Welcome—On Behalf of the State.....Gov. Oliver H. Shoup 5. Welcome—On Behalf of the City .....Mayor Dewey C. Balley 6. Vocal Selection—"Summer"..... 6. Poor ..... Chamlinade Katheryn A. Oliver, Camp 138, Fort Worth, Texas. 7. Woodmen Greetings 8. Harry Marshall 8. Welcome—On Behalf of the Clit- Ron W. H. Thomas 1. lzens..... Rev. W. H. Thomas 9. Response 9. Response ..... Mr. C. C. Trimble, National Supervisor. 10. Instrumental Selection ..... Second Regular Band Orchestra, Cleveland Ohio. 11. Announcements. Dismissal. Master of Ceremonies—E. W. D. Abner, M.D., supreme physician. The municipal organist entertained from S to 8:30. Governor Shoup was in a happy mood and royally welcomed the Woodmen to Colorado. He displayed an intimate knowledge of the rapid and substantial advance of the race, and paid a high compliment to the sterling worth and financial strength of the American Woodmen. Mayor Bailey was equally warm in his words of welcome and gave worthy tribute to the high class of Negro citizens living in Denver. The vocal selection by Miss Katheryn A. Oliver of Fort Worth, Texas, and the unique sketch of Master Harry Marshall were enthusiastically received. Then came Rev. W. H. Thomas, pastor of Shorter's. Denver knew what to expect when the brilliant minister arose. He was at his best, and it will be a long time before a greater address of welcome will be heard in this city. The national supervisor of the Woodmen, C. C. Trimble, gave the response. The Second Regular Band of Cleveland closed the program with two excellent selections. The Five Points district was gayly and appropriately decorated in honor of the convention being held here this week by the Masons and American Woodmen. This is as it should be. But why the Five Points district only? It is our belief that these meetings are large enough and of sufficient importance to the whole community as call for recognition from official Denver and the large business section. These conventions call for the spending of considerable money in the city from the visitors. They should see the welcome sign on every corner: AMERICAN WOODMEN OFFICERS RE-ELECTED. The election of the officers of the American Woodmen went off smoothly Wednesday afternoon. All of the present officials were retained with one exception. Hon. C. M. White was tendered an ovation, as he was again chosen supreme commander for the next four years. Mr. L. H. Lightner, whose devotion to Woodcraft has been censeless, was honored rightfully in being re-elected supreme clerk. Other officers elected were: H. L. Billups, vice supreme commander; G. W. Norman, supreme banker; J. E. Ormes, supreme auditor; E. W. D. Abner, supreme physician; J. T. Bush, supreme escort; G. P. Craig, supreme watchman; A. T. Washington, supreme sentry, and the Rev. G. Horace Jenkins, supreme prelate. All officers were installed at Corona, the "Top o' the World," Thursday, AMERICAN WOODMEN PARADE. A week of startling achievements, of crowning events and brilliant innovations came to a fitting climax Friday afternoon when the big Woodmen parade winded through the streets of Denver. Re-enforced by every fraternal society in the city, civic bodies, women's clubs, Boy Scouts and civilians, with a surprisingly large number of Negro-owned autos in line, the parade proved a revelation to everyone. The big military band of Cleveland, Ohio, that has played so large a part in the many Woodmen activities this week, and the Spanish-American war veterans, led the parade. A squad of mounted police acted as escort. THE AMERICAN WOODMEN EXCURSION to Corona Thursday morning was a big success. But few of the visitors had ever enjoyed the treat of a trip to the top of the world, as well as the scenic gradeur to be found only on the Moffat road. The excursionists report a lovely time. The occasion was enlivened by music from the famous second regiment band of Cleveland, Ohio. Ray Extradition Case Won THE NATIONAL Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with headquarters at 70 Fifth avenue, New York, announced through its secretary, James Weldon Johnson, today the successful conclusion of the long and difficult fight to prevent the return of Thomas Ray, a colored man, from Michigan to Wilkinson county, Ga., where he was wanted on a charge of murder. Early in September of 1920, Ray was arrested in Detroit. Prior to that time he had been working on a farm in Wilkinson county, Ga., when he was attacked by Dewitt Faulkner, a white man of poor reputation. Faulkner, while intoxicated, had made an unwarranted assault on Ray, who in turn, fired in defense of his own life, killing Faulkner. Ray, escaped to Canada and later went to Detroit, where he was arrested. Messrs. Willis and Hinton of Detroit were retained by Ray's father to prevent the extradition, and the Detroit branch of the N. A. A. C. P. associated with them its attorney and president, W. Hayes McKinney. Governor Albert Sleeper of Michigan granted the writ of extradition on being appealed to by the Georgia authorities, in spite of the fact that it was clearly indicated that Ray would be lynched if returned for trial. Ray's attorney immediately applied for a writ of habeas corpus which was granted. As he was leaving the court room, he was re-arrested on the grand jury indictment which had been forwarded to Detroit from Georgia. The original arrest had been made on a warrant. The second writ of habeas corpus was applied for, but was denied. The attorneys then appealed from the decision of the Wayne County Circuit Court to the State Supreme Court of Michigan, which court in turn affirmed the verdict of the lower court. Another appeal was then made to Governor Groesbeck, who, upon examination of the facts, ordered that the warrant of extradition be held in abeyance until proper investigation could be made into the charge that plans had been made to lynch Ray on his return to the Southern state. This charge was amply proven by attorneys for Ray. On August 2nd, the National office received the following telegram from Mr. McKinney: "Michigan's greatest governor revokes warrant in Ray case. Revocation of warrant ends case. Ray is free and released. If desired, will send governor's opinion. Most wonderful I ever heard." The National office immediately wired Governor Groesbeck, expressing the appreciation of all of its members for the brave action taken by him. The case was handled principally by the Detroit branch, N, A. A. C. P., and Messrs. Willis and Hinton; while valuable assistance was rendered by the local churches and other bodies of Detroit. The national office twice sent Assistant Secretary White to Michigan to testify regarding conditions in southern states—once before Governor Sleeper and once when the motion for a writ of habeas corpus was heard in the Wayne County Circuit Court. It is felt that the action of Governor Groesbeck is one of the greatest achievements of its kind in the history of such cases, for it is an indica NO 44 tion of the growing feeling in northern states that the life of a colored man accused of a crime against a white man is unsafe in the South. Successful prosecution of these cases, it is felt, will do much towards convincing officers of the law and courts in Southern states that prisoners accused of crimes must be protected. SENATOR CAPPER PLEDGES SUPPORT OF DYER ANTI- LYNCHING BILL The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with headquarters at 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today made public a letter received from Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, pledging his support to the Dyer anti-lynching bill now pending before Congress. The letter was written by Senator Capper in response to one sent by the association asking that the Dyer bill be endorsed and supported. Senator Capper's letter follows: "I have your letter of the 25th instant relative to the hearing in connection with anti-lynching legislation. I have read the evidence with great interest. The showing in support of legislation of this kind is very strong. "I believe I need not assure you of my sympathy, with the movement to put a stop to lynchings and mob violence. I am anxious to render every assistance I can in that direction and shall do all I can looking to the passage of proper federal laws covering the situation. "With kind regards, I am, "Very respectfully, "(Signed) ARTHUR CAPPER." KU KLUX KLAN HEAD QUITS AND DISPERSES KLANS Authority of North Carolinan Attacked by Members of Imperial Council. Greensboro, N. C., Aug. 5.—Maj. Bruce Craven of Trinidad today declared the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina, "of which I am the supreme head in this state, disbanded and abandoned, every organized klan ended and every klansman released from his connection and responsibility and obligations." His action, he declared, was due to dissatisfaction with the purposes and acts of the organization. At the same time, he announced he had forwarded his resignation as grand dragon of North Carolina to Col. William J. Simmons of Atlanta, imperial wizard. Local officers of the klan today said they would ignore Major Craven's order. They explained that he had been only the tentative head of the organization and has no authority to disband it. AUTHORITY OF CRAVEN DENIED BY COUNCIL. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 5.—Members of the imperial council of the Ku Klux Klan, headed by William J. Simmons, imperial wizard, were, in executive session here today, said to be considering the resignation of Maj. Bruce Craven, grand dragon of North Carolina, and the latter's reported action in ordering the disbanding of the klan in that state. Mr. Simmons in a statement said: "Bruce Craven is not an officer of 'he Ku Klux Klan and never has been. He has no official connection with the organization whatever." FOREIGN The only telegraph pole found standing in three villages near South Bay, N. B., swept by forest fires, held aloft a metal sign bearing this ironic injunction: "Citizens, protect your forests from fire!" The royal yacht squadron is giving a special prize to the first American six-meter yacht to finish in the first British-American cup race at Cowes regatta. The town of Cowes will give a cup for the first American yacht in the second cup race. The Bulgarian government has drawn up a plan for the demobilization of the army and the recruiting of a volunteer force. It is inclined to believe, however, that it will be impossible to enlist the minimum of 12,000 volunteers by Oct. 1, as demanded by the allies. In a collision between a passenger and a freight train near Nikolsk, sixteen persons were killed and eighteen injured, among them a few Japanese. The collision was said to have been caused by bands of partisans who have been engaged in sporadic hostilities in that part of Russia. The allies have warned Greece that an advance on Constantinople by her troops will not be tolerated, it was authoritatively stated today. No ground exists, however, it is added, for believing Greece contemplates such advance, which would bring her into conflict with the allied army of occupation. GENERAL Three men were killed and several seriously injured when a drying machine burst in the plant of the Standard Silk Dyeing Company at Patterson, N. J. Joseph Peters paid a fine of $50 after conviction in municipal court at Detroit for stealing 10 cents from a newsboy. When arrested, police testified, Peters had $99 in his pockets. Earl Welch, 20, died at Columbus, Ohio, of a fractured skull sustained when knocked to the floor in a boxing match with Harold Myers, who is held by the police. Both are of Columbus, and were engaged in a friendly bout. Official announcement of the appointment of Bishop M. J. Curley of St. Augustine, Fla., as archbishop of Baltimore, succeeding the late Archbishop Cardinal Gibbons, has been received by Catholic officials at Washington. The fact that people are not eating so much candy now as they did during the war was one of the reasons ascribed for the failure of the Boston Confectionary Company, which filed a petition in bankruptcy at Boston, with liabilities of more than $800,000. The company's assets were listed as $660,865. Where the new Pacific highway crosses the Canadian border at Blaine, Wash., a gateway is being erected to commemorate 100 years without fortifications or armies along the 3,000 miles of international boundary. Inscribed over the doorways are the legends, "Open for 100 Years" and "May These Doors Never Be Closed." Three Colorado young men are among the 208 candidates for appointment as second lieutenants In the army who qualified as a result of last April's examination, it was announced by the war department. Those commissioned from Colorado are: Harry Meyer, Denver, engineer corps; John Harry, Boulder, in field artillery, and Creswell G. Blakeney, Denver, in field artillery. Walter Bunton, a 27-year-old metal worker in the employ of the New York Blower Company at Laporte, Ind., modestly admits that he is about to become a millionaire and that he expects eventually to join the multimillionaire ranks. Bunton has invented a process for hardening copper for which he declares the United States Steel Corporation is to pay him $1,000,000 and a royalty of 2 cents a pound as long as the patent exists. Drinkers of non-intoxicating liquor in Wisconsin must stand far enough away from the bar to be unable to place their foot on the rail or to set their glasses on the counter in order to keep from violating the law, according to an opinion of J. E. Messerschmidt, assistant attorney general. Lyle A. Turner, official of a Des Moines, Iowa, rug company, was arrested after he had tried to sell a rug valued at $3,000 for $150. He is said to have admitted to the police that he shipped several rugs from the stock of the company by which he is employed to himself at Chicago, and planned to sell them to help finance a vacation. A 6-year-old child gathered flowers in a neighbor's yard in Chicago, and, carrying the blossoms back to her own yard, tried to plant them. As the result of a dispute over the punishment of the child, which followed, her grandmother, Mrs. Anna Gaugner, 52, is dead, and her mother, Mrs. Margaret Gaugner, is seriously injured. The grandmother interceded to save the child from a spanking, and the women fell down a flight of stairs during the struggle. Lewis H. Harding, secretary of the Salt Lake Rotary Club, prominent in Masonic circles, and reported to be a distant relative of President Harding, was drowned while on a fishing trip at Jackson's lake, near Moran, Wyo., according to a telegram received by his business partner. The prisoners of war that have been restored to their homes by the League of Nations now total approximately 400,000, with a little more than 100,000 yet to be repatriated, it was announced by the League of Nations news bureau in New York. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) WESTERN A concurrent resolution declaring that it is the sense of the Texas Legislature that the interests of the United States and Texas may be better served by official recognition of Mexico was adopted in the House at Austin, recently. Grain, which had been shocked, ready for threshing, was scattered over the fields, granaries were demolished and hundreds of trees were snapped off in a terrific wind storm which swept the district west of Grand Forks, N. D., recently. Mrs. Sylvester Prenatt, who went to Butte from Oakland, Calif., to see the slayers of her husband executed, Aug. 26, will be denied permission to witness the deed. Sheriff Duggan said "I will not permit her to be present unless the condemned men consent," stated Sheriff Duggan. Col. William R. Berger, founder of the University of New Mexico, and its secretary for twenty-five years, died at Belen, New Mexico, aged 74 years. He was a pioneer editor and attorney in the state and had held territorial positions and various offices in the G. A. R., and leading lodges of the state. Ralph C. Nelson, discharged from the army at Fort Bliss, Texas, met death at Alamogordo, N. M., when he fell underneath a moving passenger train. He wa on his way to his home in Toledo, Ohio. Alfred Krakse of West Park, Ohio, discharged at the same time, was with him when the accident happened. Charles McCauley died from a bullet wound inflicted at a picnic park near Berkeley, Cal., when prohibition officers attempted to break up an alleged bootlegging undertaking. The officers fired their pistols when attacked by alleged bootleggers and patrons. McCauley was said to have been a bystander. Using every effort to hide his identity, a young man walked into a small canyon about 300 yards above the hanging bridge in the Royal gorge, swallowed two ounces of carbolic acid and shot himself through the head. His body was found by W. P. Guthrie, an oil man from Wichita, Kan., who, with his son, has been camping on top of the gorge. WASHINGTON The request of A. D. Lasker, chairman of the Shipping Board, for $125,000,000 from Congress was turned down. Instead of the amount asked by Lasker, the House appropriations committee granted an emergency appropriation of $48,500,000. A warning to Republican leaders against increasing taxes in revising the internal revenue bill was given in the Senate by Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, who also proposed reductions in army and navy expenditures of nearly $500,000,000. The prisoners of war who have been restored to their homes by the League of Nations now total approximately 400,000, with a little more than 100,000 yet to be repatriated, it was announced by the League of Nations news bureau. Lieut. R. B. Levissee, an air mail pilot, narrowly escaped death at Concord, Calif., In making a forced landing after his engine went dead while he was 1,000 feet in the air. Owing to obstructions near the landing field his machine turned over on him and when he was extricated he said he was uninjured. Republicans of the Senate privileges and elections committee voted Senator Truman H. Newberry, Republican, Michigan, whose election in 1918 was contested by Henry Ford, Democratic nominee, a clear title to his seat. Democratic committee members all voted in opposition and the long contested case now goes to the Senate for final decision. Investigation by the Senate Commerce Commission to determine whether there is "monopolistic manipulation" of petroleum products was proposed in a resolution introduced by Senator King, Democrat, Utah, who said depression in crude oil prices evidenced manipulation by large interests, while prices of gasoline and other products had not been reduced proportionately. The first break in the printer's strike in progress in Rochester, N. Y., since May 6, came when A. J. Cromback, president of the Pressmen's local No. 38, notified the Rochester Typothete that the men have unanimously voted to return to work, dropping their demands for the forty-four-hour week. More than a thousand Assyrian Christians fleeing from persecutions by Mohammedans, are on their way to the United States on small sailing vessels, Secretary Davis said in Washington.

Mockett, who lost his life in the wreck of the steamship Alaska off the coast of California, was a Colorado boy. He was a resident of Red Cliff, where his father, J. H. Mockett, is a prominent mining man. During a terrific thunder storm, the din of which drowned out the sound of their activities, an unknown number of bandits entered the Garfield County State bank at Grand Valley, blew the safe and vault doors to debris with dynamite, and escaped with approximately $20,000 worth of securities and cash. William Timm of Montrose has completed the Waunita Hot Springs club house, and the addition will enable this resort to accommodate more people. The cost of the structure was $12,500. The club house is 125 feet long and thirty-fice feet wide, is two stories high and at one end there is an auditorium which will seat 800 persons. The country population of Colorado has been increasing for the past twenty years, although the per cent of the population that is from the country has not increased all the time. The rural population of Colorado in 1900 was 202,839; in 1910, 297,427; in 1920, 737,868. In 1900, 39 per cent of the people of Colorado lived in the country; in 1910, 37 per cent; and in 1920, 39 per cent. Bronco busting, horse racing and baseball games will be the daily features of the annual fair of the Deer Trail Fair Association Aug. 18, 19 and 20. The ball games will be between the Deer Trail team and those of Strasburg, Byers and Hugo; and a bucking mule, mule race and a bucking steer will be specialties during the fair. The general exhibit of agricultural products, cattle, hogs, sheep and horses promises to be the best ever shown at the fair. At least 3,500 cars will be required to move the wheat crop in that section of northeastern Colorado served by the Burlington railroad, according to a report made to the State Public Utilities Commission by William Reid one of its inspectors, after a trip through Logan and northeastern Weld counties. The wheat crop, Reid reports, is one of the best ever harvested in this section of the state. The commission will make every effort to assist the farmers in obtaining cars and getting their crops to market. There now is in the hands of the American Red Cross $350,000 for the relief of the persons rendered homeless by the flood which swept down upon Pueblo, Colo., early in June. This amount consists of the original $105,000 contributed by the National Red Cross when the first news of the serious situation was flashed over the country, $125,000 contributed by American Red Cross chapters in response to appeals from President Harding and National Red Cross officials, and approximately $125,000 contributed by Colorado cities. Dry land wheat that has just been threshed on the C. A. Jeffries farm ran forty-five bushels, machine measure, to the acre, and weighed out sixty-two pounds to the bushel, which is almost a record for dry land wheat in Larimer county. The Showalter wheat in the same district averaged forty bushels to the acre. Mrs. Amelia Cachines, 35, wife of Tony Cachines, a farmer northeast of Broomfield, was killed when a horse hitched to a buggy ran away and she was thrown out, her neck being broken. She was the mother of five children. She and her husband were returning from Lafayette and she had stepped out of the buggy to look in his rural post box for mail when the horse became frightened and ran. After being tossed about in the waters of the Platte river within the limits of Denver since the morning of June 18, when he was drowned while going to the rescue of his brother, who had been caught in the swollen flood waters at that time, the body of Charles Bryont, Jr., 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bryant, was recovered from the river in a badly decomposed condition. Colorado as a coal-producing state is leaping to the front. A report rendered by James Dalrymple, state coal mine inspector, shows that the tonnage for 1920 from twenty-one counties was the greatest in the history of the state —12,500,044, a net gain of 2,102,501 tons over 1919. More than 500 persons went on the excursion from Denver to Hot Sulphur Springs. The program provides for two days of fun. Nearly 2,000 mountain trout taken from the streams near Sulphur Springs were served at the big fry. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. The Colorado Fuel & Iron Company is letting a contract to the C. S. Lamble Construction Company of Pueblo for the building of fifty houses, which are to be sold at cost and on easy payments to employees of the company who lost their homes in the flood. The total sum to be expended will be close to $140,000, and the houses will be of three, four, five and six rooms, all thoroughly modern. They will be built near the old C. F. & I. hospital, work to begin at once. Hereafter Montrose firemen will not be in danger of being run over by autoists following them to a fire. The City Council has passed an ordinance forbidding any automobile to be within 200 feet of fire apparatus going to a fire. Complaint has been filed frequently with the council that whenever the companies turn out they are followed by a stream of autos racing after them, and when the men spring to make a coupling they are in danger of being run down. Two bandits with ropes let a third down the side of a Pullman car on Denver & Rio Grande train No. 2 between Grand Valley and Rifle, and he cut the screens in the windows and robbed three hammocks in the berths. One woman reported the loss of $200 in travelers' checks and $40 in cash, and two other passengers reported losses, but the amount was not made public. So far as is known only the three hammocks were robbed. The federal census bureau has placed an average of $31.22 on farm funds in Colorado. This is nearly twice the figure fixed by the county assessors, which was $16.45 in 1920. An increase of 10,000,000 acres of farm land in the state is shown by the report. The average increase in value has been $5.21 an acre. Nearly 28,000,000 acres of farm land is reported by the county assessors' tax rolls. Howard Penn, a negro, enraged because he had been ejected from a Mexican restaurant in Eaton, kicked in the window of a hardware store, helped himself to a rifle and ammunition, and returning to the restaurant proceeded to bombard it. The Mexicans ran through the rear door, and Penn was arrested by the town marshal and placed in the Greeley jail. Colorado Springs may be immediately chosen as a site for a vocational training center for disabled soldiers, according to a statement made by H. Allen Nye of Denver, who has been looking over the situation. Under present plans the new building will be large enough to accommodate at least 300 soldiers. The proposed site contains about 300 acres in the foohills. An increase in attendance is reported by the university summer school at Boulder. The total for the second term is 1,246 as against 874 a year ago. During the first term the registration was 1,951 compared with 1,307 in 1920. The total for the summer is 3,197 as against 2,181 in 1920. Richard Hart, 22 years old, son of a prominent mining man of Red Cliff, was killed and five others narrowly escaped death when an automobile in which the party was returning to Red Cliff from Leadville, plunged down a thirty-foot embankment four miles west of Tennessee pass. School expenses in Colorado have increased about $3,500,000 in the last two years, according to figures made public by the State Immigration Department. The statistics are compiled from records of the state superintendent of schools. Business men of Grand Junction are giving their enthusiastic support to the project of the Western Concrete Products Company, who are planning the erection of a $70,000 plant in the city in the near future. George Washington Musser, former chief justice of the Colorado Supreme Court, and for more than thirty years a resident of Colorado, died at his home in Denver, following a heart attack. One man was blinded for life and another may never recover his sight as the result of an explosion in a limestone quarry at Ingleside, near Fort Collins. The men, Lee Chavez and Frank Florez, were lowering a keg of black powder into a shaft when the keg struck a rock. The explosion blew the eyes of Florez almost entirely from his head. All the skin was blown from Chavez' face, but physicians said his sight might be saved. The city of Loveland faces a damage suit for $2,500 to be started by J. S. Bainbridge for damages because of injuries received by slipping on an ice sidewalk and breaking his leg last December. Bainbridge presented the bill some months ago, and after negotiations offered to compromise. The finance committee of the council refused the offer. Announcement has been made that the state firemen's meeting to be held in Loveland, September 5, 6, 7 and 8, will be opened each day by prayer. A Catholic priest will pronounce the invocation on the first day and ministers of different Protestant denominations will follow on succeeding days. C. S.

Optimists Think the Meeting May Even Result in the Establishment of World Peace, but the Skeptical Are Many. Bv EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—It has been said in Washington by a man of high official position that it is the desire of the administration that every question to be considered at the coming disarmament conference shall be answered "in the light of public opinion throughout the world." It is apparent from what one learns from high sources of information on international matters, that so far as the United States is concerned, there is to be no selfish insistence on any "America first" plan which cannot stand the test of criticism in every country of the world. This means, of course, that anything which can stand this test necessarily must at the same time stand the test of American opinion. From this it seems to be the feeling of the administration and its advisers in looking after American interests, this country will meet with no opposition nor lack of sympathy from the governments which are to be a party to the conference, nor from any of the other governments of the world. There is a realizing sense in the advisory council of the administration that each of the conferring nations will have its self-safeguarding proposals. It seems to be the feeling of American officials that selfishness in the usually objectionable meaning of the word will be absent from the council chamber, or that if it shall succeed in entering there it will be overcome by knowledge of the way in which the wind of world opinion blows. Fair Dealing Expected. There seems actually to be no apprehension among the proponents of the coming conference that any nation which is to be a party to it, or any other nation which will have any influence with it, will attempt to draw any red herrings across the trail leading to the conference chamber. It seems to be hoped and virtually prayed for in administration circles that there shall be no advanced prejudices which may impair the work of the conferences. It seems clearer day by day that official Washington really and finally believes in its heart that the coming conference is to take within the scope of its discussion many things which are far outside of the field of armament limitations, and of Far East problems. Nothing has happened here yet to make it appear that the United States in any way will attempt to circumscribe discussion within narrow limits. On the other hand, there are evidences of an apparent willingness, at present at any rate, that one thing shall lead to another in the conference until finally there possibly may be evolved a plan for the readjustment of the international troubles of the world. Now, as some men here say, all this is admirable, but there are some skeptics who, while they want disarmament and general peace to come, fear and say that they fear that dreams of the present, like dreams of the past, may not materialize. So far as the United States is concerned, it is standing aloof from participation in a league which was to do everything for the peace of the world. Skeptics Are Not Wanting. The majority of the students of the situation in Washington seem to think the conference actually will bring about disarmament, salisfactory arrangements for a tranquill Far East, and ultimately for peace in the world. It must be said, however, because it is the straight truth, that there are men here, and hard-headed men at that, who still smell mustard and chlorine gas, see the wakes of the submarines, and hear the whir of air motors in the days after the representatives of the nations of the world solemnly have declared for disarmament and for peace throughout creation. The comments of the newspapers of the countries which are to be parties to the conference seem to show that the officials of other governments feel like the administration of this government, that good is to come out of the conference. Are they sincere in their belief? Doubtless their hope runs with their words, but there is more than a rod's difference between hope and belief. Cantonments for Sale. Only four years ago the problem was how to build quickly great cantonments for the housing and supplying of the American legions. Today the question is what and how to make them pay back in part the immense cost of their construction. The army by October 1 will have in it only 150,000 men. Four of the larger cantonments would afford quarters for the entire army. Many of them will not be needed and their acres upon acres of barracks, hospitals, mess and militare bails must go. How are they to go and which ones are to go? There are cantonments in the Far West, in the Middle West, in the South and in the East. Four of the great quartering grounds may be used for divisions of the American army, but what of the rest? At Chillicothe, O_n for instance, there is Camp Sherman. It is not likely that this army camp will be kept in the service, although, of course, there is a possibility that it may be. About a year ago the writer of this was at Chillicothe, and he asked the commanding officer what his chief duties were. His answer was, "Keeping a lookout for fire." It is said that the Chillicothe camp, which is a fair sample of the other camps, cost the government about $50,000,000. If the material used for the buildings, now more or less decrepit, is to be sold, how much money will Uncle Sam get for it? Ask the same question about other cantonments, and you have the multiplied problem now confronting the War department for solution. Some May Be Used for Reserves. At nearly all the cantonments there are some buildings which were built with a view to permanent, or at any rate to semi-permanent, use. These buildings may be saved, and it is possible that many of the cantonments may be used for the purposes of training the reserves, or for the annual encampments of the National Guard outfits, or for service schools of some kind yet to be determined. Of course not all the cantonments so can be used. Some of them must be dismantled and sold. Army authorities are approaching the problem with misgivings. Why? Because there is not a cantonment in the United States apparently which the people of the immediate vicinity wish to see given over to the auction block. Efforts are being made by the residents of various sections of the country to secure the retention of their particular pet cantonment. Senators and representatives are busy in this matter. The United States is to have an army of only 150,000, just about enough to look after our non-contiguous possessions in a half defensive way with a remainder of troops sufficient to do some police duty in the United States and, of course, to give our coast batteries enough men to do a little something toward managing the guns. This cutting down is a good policy from the point of view of people who think that there are to be no more wars nor even rumors of wars, but from the point of view of the other great body of American citizens who believe in a certain amount of preparedness the cutting down of the army is something rather far from justifiable. Girl Scouts Study Birds. In the course of one of their weekend outings on the navy Mayflower, the President and Mrs. Harding showed an active interest in the girl scout movement of America by a visit to one of the girls' summer camps on the headwaters of Chesapeake bay at the mouth of the Gumpowder river. Mrs. Harding is an official, or at any rate an honorary official of the girl scouts. Her interest in the work is keen and therefore, as is usually the case in American domestic life, the husband's interest is also keen. On a Maryland peninsula, one side of which is washed by the Gunpowder river, the government maintains its great chemical warfare service plant. The place is known as Edgewood arsenal. The work is under the direction of Brig. Gen. Amos Fries, chief of the chemical warfare service, whose headquarters are in Washington; while the First Gas regiment, stationed at Edgewood, is under the command of Maj. E. J. Atkisson, who was the colonel of the First Gas regiment in France when his present chief was of the chemical warfare service. General Fries turned over to the girls scouts a fine camping site between the woods and the beach on the elevation of the peninsula close to the mouth of the Gunpowder river. Mrs. Fries is closely associated with the work of the girl scouts, and one of her daughters is a member of the present camping party. To get right into the middle of things, I was asked to go to the camp of the Washington girl scouts to lead a class of them into the fields and woods for the purpose of bird study. I never had been near a girl scouts camp before. I have seen one now at close range, and I know the interest the children take in woodcraft and in nature and the helpfulness which is inculcated, and I know the thing is good. I took about a dozen of the girls on a tramp along the edges of the woods and along the country roads, bordered by the tangled thickets which buttressed the fences. Somebody must have been doing good nature work, either in the homes or the schools, for I found a basic knowledge of bird life already in the minds of these girl scouts. It never has hurt any child to be led into the field of appreciation of the appeal of nature. In the course of a tramp of an hour and a half we saw twenty-five species of American birds, some of them of appealing and curious interest. The scouts were particularly interested in the nests of the barn swallows. Why? Because the homes of these blue-backed, fork-tailed, sky-darting birds are wonderful contrivances of mud, softly lined with feathers and grasses, and plastered with the master adroitness of the mason on to the rafters of the barn. One of the girls discovered a nest which was as big as a quart cup. Seemingly it must have been a case of super imposing nest on nest as the summers came and wore. DISARMAMENT CALL TO WORLD FORMAL INVITATION IS SENT TO GREAT POWERS TO MEET IN GENERAL CONFERENCE. PRINGIPLES DEFINED NOTES ARE SENT TO GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, ITALY JAPAN AND CHINA. (Western Newspaper Union News Service. ) Washington.—Putting into definite terms its proposals for a disarmament conference, the United States invited the great powers to unite in "a practical effort to remove the causes of misunderstanding" and so facilitate reduction of the world's enormous outlay for the materials of war. Informal identic notes of invitation forwarded to Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan, the American government pledged its own unstinted co-operation in such an effort and further defined as follows as its own conceptions of the principles involved: That there can be no hope for peace or stability until the tax burden resulting from heavy armament had been reduced. That such a reduction is possible only if troublesome international problems are solved by common consent. That among these problems the Pacific and Far Eastern questions occupy a position of "unquestioned importance." That although there is no intention to dictate the scope of the conference, the discussions should touch upon matters "which have been" of international concern as well as those now admittedly controversial; and That the question of naval armaments might well be considered first (though there should be no barrier to a full consideration of armaments of every sort. Coincidentally with the dispatch of the "invitations to the four great powers, China was asked to send a delegation to take part in those discussions of the conference which relate to the Pacific and the Far East. All five nations thus invited have indicated informally that they would accept. The note of invitation follows the principles previously defined by this government in its informal conversations with other powers, but particular attention was attracted by the suggestion that a solution of the Far Eastern situation should include "common understandings with respect to matters which have been and are of international concern." State Department officials would not interpret the text of the note, but the general assumption here was that under this definition a way would be found to discuss such questions as Yap and Shantung, which "have been" of international concern, but which Japan now is inclined to regard as closed incidents. Suicide Pays for Gas. Chicago.—William Larson had gone through his fifty-five years of life owing no man. So before ending his life in the bathroom of his home he wrote a note telling of his act and deposited 45 cents beside it to pay for the gas he used in suicide. Five Killed in Wreck Vicksburg, Miss. — Reports have been received here that train No. 13 of the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley railroad, struck a truck at a grade crossing at Anguilla, Miss., fifty miles north of here, killing five and injuring twelve. Liquor Coming from Canada. Windsor, Ontario.—Canadian prohibition officials expect liquor will pour across the border into the United States, in greater streams than ever before, because of the court ruling here that the Ontario temperance act does not prohibit exportation of intoxicants to a foreign country. Disagreeing with American custom officials, who stated in Detroit that they did not look for increased run-running, the Canadians said that orders from the United States already were reaching breweries and distilleries in this district, and that owners of these plants said they would fill orders. Investigating Debs Case. Washington, — Attorney General Daugherty has begun drafting his recommendations to the President in regard to the proposed pardon for Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist leader, at Atlanta. Daugherty said he hoped to complete his report "sometime this month," and indicated that there probably would be some action in the Debs case before Labor day. Mobs Preacher for Remarks. Oskaloosa, Iowa.—Aroused by alleged unpatriotic remarks concerning American dead in France, a mob, mob, said to have included a number of ex-service men, seized the Rev. W. L. Wilford, an evangelist preacher at a tent meeting, forced the man into an automobile and carried him out in the country to apply tar and feathers. As the tar was being poured over his head, the man is said to have promised to leave town and was released without further punishment.

Following outburst of insanity in 1914, which plunged the world into war, no attempt has been made by statesmen or diplomatists at the peace conferences to discriminate between the signs of sanity and insanity. Judging sanity and insanity is a biological and not a psychological problem. It is not a question of body and mind, but of body-mind. The organizations of body-mind in sanity provides: (1) channels for discharge of energy in action, (2) assists individuals to face squarely problems of actual life, and (3) rewards effort by definite sense of achievement and feeling of adequacy. Bolshevism, radicalism and the tendency to think in terms of class distinction are defense reactions of inadequates afraid of facing their own personal problems. Success of individual, future of democracy and the fate of our civilization depend upon the recognition of these biological principles and the cultivation of mental processes favorable for sane thinking and acting. World's Potential Wealth Sufficient to Assure Universal Prosperity WHAT OF SALVATION? That we may today seek an epoe a period where th That we may profit by the lessons of the past, the philosopher of today seeks an epoch in history for a parallel, but he searches in vain for a period where the calamity of war, with its aftermath, is comparable in magnitude to that of the Great war of our day. We are all now agreed that what government can and should do is to assure to all men and women a chance to work and win, according to their talent and diligence and their moral fiber, and to guard the path to success from obstruction of trickery, fraud, oppression or monopoly. The fact is recognized by economists who have studied the world's natural resources that the potential wealth is sufficient to assure a state of universal prosperity. There would be, in short, an abundance of everything necessary for the comfort and well-being of the billion, seven hundred million people who inhabit the earth, if the world's resources were utilized. ens that glorious --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE COLORADO STATESMAN CABIN SMALLS BE FARE PARTY PARTY COUNTRY PARTY JOSEPH D.

It is a highly pretentious effort. Its pages are filled with extensive writings of practically every Race enterprise known to Omaha, and is liberally adorned with cuts of many of the prominent men and women of Nebraska. We congratulate the Monitor force on this splendid edition, which so visibly reflects the highest type of journalistic enterprise. COME AGAIN! THE COLORADO STATESMAN last week proudly extended its word of welcome to the Masons of Colorado and jurisdiction and to the American Woodmen, both of which bodies held history-making conventions in Denver this week. And now that their deliberations have come to an end, a just retrospect will cause a feeling of pride to arise in every Negro breast. They were great meetings. The delegates and visitors coming from far and near were of the highest type. Not one thing happened during their stay here to cause a regret or an apology. Many things happened to cause us to renew our faith in the ultimate high destiny of our race. Both the Masons and Woodmen were representative of all that could be asked of sturdy American manhood. Both are strong financially and both stand unblemished in integrity. It will be many, many days before a repetition of the good things crowded in one short week will be witnessed again. To both and to all THE COLORADO STATESMAN says, "Come again"! NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. IN Atlanta, Georgia, August 17, 18 and 19, the National Negro Business League will hold its annual sessions, and during the same period the National Negro Bankers' Association will meet there also. These great gatherings of large, growing business interests supply their own argument as to the increasing power and substantiality of the Race in this country. We do not believe it wise to be carried away by foolish or exaggerated notions of a soap bubble progress, but there is and rightfully should be a justified pride in the actual showing we are making in the affairs of the world. The National Negro Business League, founded by Booker T. Washington many years ago, has long since justified its existence as a great inspirational force that has labored and brought forth the National Negro Bankers' Association and many other similar organizations. WHAT OF SALVATION? IN THE olden days when the fervor of Christian teachings and worship had a much firmer and steadier grasp upon civilization than seems apparent today, many an agonizing soul was wont to cry out, "What shall I do to be saved?" In those days it was regarded as an individual matter, a question that every man must settle between himself and his God. The mourners' bench was advised as the proper place of retreat for the one so terrorized by sin as to give voice to such an outcry. Oftentimes a tragic battle with the hosts of Satan would ensue before the seeker found the light that bade him arise and proclaim "I believe." In recent years, however, the complex affairs of the world's civilization have become such that it is no longer looked upon as an individual question. From every quarter of the known globe today the cry arises to heaven, not from the individual, not from a group or sect, but from the world itself, "What shall WE do to be saved?" And here we find the same titanic struggle with and battle against the powers of evil. Greed, avarice, selfishness and blood crowd the pages of history. Statesmanship has given way to cunning, honest government to intrigue. The world is in turmoil, human life is the cheapest commodity known to civilization. All of which caused a noted scholar and thinker to proclaim some weeks ago that after 2,000 years of applied Christianity, there was not a Christian nation on the face of the globe. It was not his contention that the teachings of Christ had failed but rather that man had failed to live up to its sublime possibilities. He admitted the glory and beauty of the Christ life and held that His teachings were as majestic today as when first uttered by he Man of Gallilee. And now comes the last straw. A few days ago one of the noted religious leaders of the country propounded the rather startling query, "What shall the CHURCH do to be saved?" And here he saw again the self same battle with the power of Satan. There is something more than mere irony in the question. The church itself in too many instances is wobbling. It is assuming the proportions of a seeker of fads, rather than a seeker after the true Christianity. Here in America it has often happened that worshippers leave the house of God on Sunday to attend a lynching or burning of a human being, and as often happens, carries home a charred finger or severed ear as a souvenir of their ghoulish worship. It is apparent, then, that man and church allike must find themselves anew. The fatherhood of God may be admitted by all, while the brotherhood of man is equally denied by all, frightfully so in these United States. Jacob wrestled till daybreak for his blessing. Will not the church have to wrestle till the dawn of a more glorious day before the sublimity and perfect beauty of the lessons taught by the lowly Nazarene receive their highest exemplification? When it does the question will be answered, not for the individual, nor for the church, but for all the world. To Use the Scientific Facts About Heredity and Prehistoric Man By DR. VERNON KELLOGG, National Research Council To learn by intensive study how to make useful to everyday present human life the scientific facts about heredity and prehistoric man that have been brought to light recently by the biologist and the anthropologist will be the next progressive step in evolution. More has been learned about heredity since the days of Galton and Mendel in the second half of the last century, and more about the character and history of Glacial time man since the beginning of this century than had been learned in all previous time. H.E. If human-kind of today is descended from a prehistoric human-kind—and all biologists and anthropologists are convinced of it—we want to know all we can about those primitive ancestors of ours who lived a hundred thousand or more years ago. We may find in this knowledge clues to some of the problems that human life presents today. If heredity is the deciding factor in determining what a man can or cannot do in this world—and there is constantly growing evidence that, if it is not the deciding factor, it is at least a very important one—we want to know all we can about it so that we can take this knowledge into account in our work of education, prison reform, correction of defectiveness and delinquency, and other matters in which we hope to do so much for the race by the use of good environment. We know now that primitive man was a good deal of a beast both as to structure and mind, and that much of what is beastly in us is a carry-over from these half-beast ancestors of ours. But by gradual evolution man has moved forward more and more toward real humanness, and by adding to this natural evolution all that we can in the way of education, good environment and an expanding social inheritance we can look forward to a better and better future type of man. Is Man Capable of Directing the Civilization He Has Created? By DR. STEWART PATON, Princeton University By JOHN HAYS HAMMOND, American Engineer What is required are the means for the development of these countries together with facilities to transport their products to markets where they would be welcomed. America is the only nation competent to undertake the financing of this great project. Fascism Is Now a National Force in Italy, Active Against Socialism Not all the doings of the Fascisti can be commended, nor is Fascism free from disquieting symptoms; but without its daring energy Italy would probably have felt the grip of Asiatic Jacobinism and have gone through a period of terrible dissolution. Wherever the Socialists, flaunting their antinational sentiment, offer violence to patriotic feeling and show disrespect to the memory of soldiers fallen in the war, there the Fascisti form their ranks, and with impetucus and often bloody reprisals restore the balance. Fascism is most developed in northern and central Italy, especially in Bologna, Modena, Milan, Genoa, Florence, Ferrara. In some centers it covers the same ground as nationalism, but it is neither nationalist nor militarist, its sympathies being, in fact, rather with the working classes and with "syndicalism" and in some places even with republicanism. Fascism is now a national force which will remain active until socialism shrinks once more within its legitimate bounds and no longer threatens that glorious unity.

Cary, wife and daughter and Dr. and Mrs. Woods. They expect to spend a month in Kansas and Missouri points. George W. Davis, C. C. of Pythias Lodge No. 11, and Robt. Watkins of Damon No. 5, K. of P., left last night to attend the Knights of Pythias Supreme Lodge bi-enial session, which meets in Topeka, Kan. Mr. Watkins will take the supreme lodge degree honors and will be among those eligible for representative of that body. Our good old-time friend Duke Conway is still having birthdays. At least that is the reason given by Duke for the fishing party and fish fry tendered a host of his friends at Tyner's lake last Monday. Boating, fishing and bathing were freely indulged in by all. Everybody had a good time and heartily agreed on one proposition, i. e., that Duke, though — years of age is still "one of the boys." Both of the dances given Tuesday night, one by the Masons at the city Auditorium, and the other by the Woodmen at Roy's academy, were largely attended. In fact, it was said that fully 500 people were turned away from Roy's Dancing Academy. This is a gala week and our people are out for a good time. FOLK-LORE CONCERT Shorter Church was crowded Thursday night to hear the "Folk-lore" concert rendered by a big chorus of voices selected from the various delegations attending the convention. It was a high class form of entertainment and was well received by the big audience. Surely no person in Denver can complain for lack of variety in entertainment this week. THE SOCIAL CALENDAR. The present week promises to eclipse all former records in the matter of social gayety for which Denver is justly famous. No other city in the country excels in this charm and beauty of social functions. With a large number of tourists already in the city and the large Woodmen delegation and Masonic grand lodge as added forces, some notable affairs among the elite may be looked for. Mrs. Elijah Jackson and Mrs. W. R. Herndon entertained forty ladies at cards last Saturday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. George F. Robinson, 2352 Humboldt street. It was a very pretty party, and with a number of out-of-town guests present. Prof. Clyde L. Glass, a noted pianist of New England and teacher of music in Western University, was the honor guest at a well-appointed breakfast Friday morning, given by Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Zackery at their home, 1625 East Thirty-fourth. A beautiful tea from the hours of 3 to 9 was given by Mrs. J. W. Jackson and Mrs. Charles M. Hughes at the residence of the latter last Friday, complimentary to Mesdames E. C. Craigen, A. L. Adams, Robert Lewis and Miss Vance, all of Memphis, Tenn., and life-long friends of Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Hughes. L. H. Lighter Gives Brilliant Dinner in Honor of Dean Pickens. Dean William Pickens was the honor guest at a beautifully appointed six-course dinner, Wednesday at 1 p. m., at the residence of Mr. L. H. Lightner, 2420 Franklin street. The occasion was rendered the more notable because of the presence of many prominent men from all over the country. The Lightner home was gorgeous and radiant in rare decorations and beautiful flowers. Mr. E. W. D. Abner was chosen to toastmaster and introduced as the first speaker Geo. W. Gross, whose subject was the "Work of the N. A. A. C. P." Next came Hon. H. L. Billups, who responded to "Our Hostess." He paid a glowing and well deserved tribute to the charming hostess that brought forth prolonged applause. The toast, "Our Host," was responded to by Mr. J. T. Bush, "The American Woodmen" was the subject assigned to Mr. C. C. Timble, and he handled it in his usual forceful manner. Mr. E. E. Carrington spoke to "Our Guest," and his intimate knowledge of the life's work of Dean Pickens was scholarly unfolded. Other speakers were Rev. W. H. Thomas, Attorney Geo. G. Ross, Rev. S. A. Stripling, Prof. J. P. Starks, Dr. Hayman and Rev. A. W. Ward. Appropriate responses were made by Dean Pickens, Hon. C. M. White and by the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Lightner. Those sharing Mr. Lightner's bountiful hospitality were E. W. D. Abner, J. H. Allen, Thos. J. Bell, H. L. Billups, J. T. Bush, E. E. Carrington, S. E. Cary, Ja Cooper, J. C. Essan, Geo. W. Gross, Dr. Hayman, W. D. Lightner, Cleve Lightner, G. W. Norman, Wm. Pickens, Geo. G. Ross, O. S. Scott, Henry Scott, Rev. S. A. Stripling, Rev. W. H. Thomas, J. P. Starks, C. M. White and Rev. A. W. Ward. It was by far the most distinctive social feature of the big convention week. DEAN WM. PICKENS SPEAKS AT CITY AUDITORIUM. Before a crowd that well filled the theater part of the city Auditorium, Wednesday night, Dean Wm. Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. delivered his famous lecture on "A Platform for Black and White." And it is only fair to say that the dean fully came up to the hopes and anticipations of all who were present. It was a masterful effort, clear, forceful and logical. He erected a platform broad enough and fair enough for the members of both races to stand upon in America without hurt or hindrance to either. There were a goodly number of white citizens present and we wish there had been more. Mr. Pickens goes to Colorado Springs for an address Sunday afternoon and returns to Denver to address the Denver branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Monday night at Shorter church. An immense crowd should greet him. GARDNER. THE TAILOR. 1025 Twenty-first Street; Phone Champa 1019. Invites you to inspect his line of fall and winter woolens.

Call Us for Special Rates on Out-of-Town Trips. THE NEW YORKER Time was when the Negro was dependent upon the white man for every possible convenience. That times have materially changed was satisfactorily evidenced last Monday, when the big Woodmen excursion train pulled into the Union Station. The problem of transporting such a large number, and especially the officials, from the depot to Shorter Church conveniently was a vexing one. The Granberry Taxi Company, with its train of high-class cars, with every chauffeur neatly groomed and genteel to the point of perfection, was called in and offered the contract. Mr. Granberry did not hesitate a moment. The magnitude of the job had no terrors for him, with the result that everything was carried out handsomely and without a hitch. The Granberry Taxi Company is an institution to be proud of. A SUGCESTION Are you headed toward financial independence or will you be a dependent at 65?

I am informed that citizens of the African race are not allowed to swim or bathe in any of the city lakes or public bathing places. Is this true? If true, ought not there to be some bathing lake or beach provided for them? I understand there are between 5,000 and 7,500 colored people in this city and many of them pay taxes to keep bathing places provided for their white brethren. Is this just or right? Any state or municipal law excluding them from public places without providing places for them would be clearly unconstitutional. I asked the parties giving me the information why they did not ask for such or similar rights and privileges and they replied they had, but without success. I am appealing to the public in behalf of these citizens and wards of our free institutions and laws, who help us pay our taxes and who fought for and with us in the world war, to help them secure and enjoy the rights and privileges to which they are clearly entitled. BOOTH M. MALONE. The Negro citizens' right to share the privileges of the bathing beaches in and around Denver has again been revived, and this time by a leading citizen of the white race—Judge Booth M. Malone, an able jurist and a man ever known to be fearless and fair—has raised the question as to why colored citizens are not accorded the right of bathing at some of the numerous beaches around Denver. His letter appeared in the News of last Saturday morning. It has resulted in resurrecting a question that was debated with much fervor by the race leaders a few years ago. On Tuesday morning a rather forceful editorial appeared in the columns of the News, and this leads us to the point of belief that some definite action may be looked for before another year. Just what this action will be and whether it will be such as to be satisfactory all around, is difficult just now to foresee. However, we expect to give our views on the matter in the very near future. NOTICE.

A pleasant little affair was the gathering of some of the young mothers on the lawn of the "Y" one day last week. They brought their young babies with them, and were received by the secretaries, who in turn were assisted by some of the ladies of the neighborhood. It was a beautiful sight to see the carriages lined up in the shade, with the bright-faced babies peeping out of them, and looking as sweet as cherries. Some of those present were: Mrs. Bernice Allen and son, Mrs. Delphine Carpenter and daughter, Mrs. Bettie Crowe and son, Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson and son, Mrs. Jessie Price and son, Mrs. Gertrude Thally and son, Mrs. Rosalie Vickers and son and daughter, and Mrs Myrtle Walters and daughters. It will be noticed that the "sons" were largely in excess of the "daughters." Secretary Townsend was wild with excitement and almost crazy with joy last week when he was informed by the hospital authorities that a little girl had been born to him. It was night, and he dashed by a group of players on the croquet court, almost running into them, and yet has never seen them. Some of the men bore him off the ground in triumph when they learned the news. DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO. FUNERAL NOTICES. P. J. Jackson, fifty-sixth member of Centennial, Lodge No. 4, F. & A.

The Masonic Grand Lodge of Colorado and juris diction, which came to a close Wednesday afternoon, was in many respects the most successful meeting ever held in the history of the state. Every session HOC SINUIT VINCES was marked with distinctive business-like precision, and a welcome spirit of harmony prevailed the entire session. Yet amid the exactions of duty and fidelity to the interests of great Masonic order, the delegates were given many social honors and favors. A drive over Lookout mountain on Tuesday and a largely attended dance Tuesday night were the principal features. Delegates were here from every city in the jurisdiction. We note that the usual array of the "old guard" were on hand. Indeed, what would a grand lodge session of Masons look like without the presence of Titus Rector, J. R. Contee and Wm. Sprague of Denver, or S. N. Nelson and M. W. Moore of Pueblo, or Walter Kiowa of Trinidad, or Geo. Cotwell of Victor, or Billy Gudgell and C. H. Pratt of Colorado Springs? And then there was a goodly number of the young blood in evidence. L. J. Manley of La Junta, Rev. A. W. Ward, E. J. Matthews and Jas. Daugherty caused many of the old-timers to sit up and rub their eyes. The election of officers Wednesday afternoon resulted in Grand Master S. N. Nelson being re-elected without a dissenting vote and his entire cabinet of co-workers were re-elected in the same way. William Sprague, of course, was re-elected grand treasurer. The official roster stands, as reelected: S. N. Nelson, Pueblo, grand master. L. N. Duncan, La Junta, deputy grand master. E. J. Matthews, Denver, senior warden. Rev. B. R. Herron, La Junta, junior warden. O. L. Lawson, Denver, grand secretary. William Sprague, Denver, grand treasurer. Mr. Nelson, long known as a successful business man, loyal to his friends and faithful to every trust has made a truly great grand master. The jurisdiction has flourished under his guidance. It is freely said that his address to the grand lodge Monday night was one of surpassing richness and value. Denver is proud over being host to such a worthy body of men and we believe the city and state will be materially enriched by their unselfish labors. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. WOODMEN WEEK! And quite a number of them have dropped in upon us. Some have come from cities like Kansas City, or St. Louis, or Cincinnati, or Chicago, in all of which cities large buildings already are built; others come from cities like Dallas or Tulsa, where new and young works have been begun, while many come from places where there is no work at all. All have left words of 69 Office Phone Champa 5960 THE LECTURE WHAT is a lecture anyhow? It is an address of an hour or more in which the speaker epitomizes years of research upon a subject in which he has specialized; giving the audience the benefit of his much reading and thought upon some subject of public interest—a source of public instruction. The other race, with all its learning and advantages, makes large use of this means of instruction and would smile if told that they do not like lectures. The most intellectual peoples in the world consider the lecture their greatest means for information. My advice is, that we repudiate the charge that our race does not like lectures. Cultivate a taste for the public forum. Pretend that we like it, for it is a sign of culture. Just like one at first pretends to like oysters and olives at the first reception he attends; he desires to be with the others, so inwardly revolting he smiles and swallows the oyster and munches the olive; and at succeeding receptions continues to swallow and munch until he cultivates a taste for these delicacies is "up" with the old timers. And when one is at a concert and hears a piece of music which seems only a jangle and rattle to him (having a taste for only jazz, he hears the cultured people rave over the classic just rendered; he watches them applaud what is unintelligible to him, he "goes wild," too, and demands an encore. He pretends he enjoys it because he knows the cultured do. Just so we must pretend we like lectures, smile, clap our hands, cry bravo, and "go on." After a while our taste will so change that we will appreciate and be glad, not only to hear the lecture, but to pay for it, just like the other cultured people do. But maybe we do like to hear the popular lecturer, the famous man or woman. Well, granting that, how is a fellow or fellowess, to become popular if we do not popularize him or her? It is up to us to encourage this source of public instruction, even if we have to at first just pretend to like lectures. D. E. JOHNSON HOTEL PORTERS QUIT ON KLAN ORDERS.

LEGION MAN LOST NO TIME North Carolina Lieutenant Rose From Farmer Boy to Numerous Ranks During War. From farmer boy to high school teacher and later a lawyer and from buck private to first lieutenant are the records of Cale K. Burgess, the first department commander of the American Legion in North Carolina, who was the pioneer Legionnaire in his state. Burgess is adjutant and finance officer of PETER B. Born July 15, 1891, at Old Trap, Camden County, N. C., Burgess was reared on a farm. He received his early education at the village public school and later was graduated from Whitsett Institute, from which he entered the University of North Carolina. He received his bachelor of arts degree in 1912 and taught science in the public high school at Raleigh two years, studying law at the same time. In September, 1913, he was granted a license to practice law in North Carolina and pursued the practice of his profession until July, 1917, when he enlisted as a private in the First N. C. F. A. N. G., which regiment was soon afterward mustered into Federal service as the 113th F. A. 30th Division. During the St. Mihiel offensive he served as artillery liaison officer. In the Argonne offensive and until after the signing of the armistice he served as regimental intelligence officer. He was in service eighteen months and served as private, corporal, sergeant, batallion sergeant-major, regimental sergeant-major, second lieutenant and first lieutenant. With the latter rank he served as adjutant of his regiment during the last months of his service. No Trespassers Allowed.

BOOSTING FOR LEGION MEN Veteran of Royal Irish Rifles Seeks Recognition of Americans in the Canadian Service. The German Invasion of Belgium in August, 1914, found Mike Sullivan, veteran of the Royal Irish Rifles, managing a hotel on Broadway, New York.

He worked his way to Aberdeen, Scotland, where, by cliting his father's long service with the Gordon Highlanders, he persuaded the kilts to enlist him despite his forty-five years. Later he obtained transfer to the Eighty-third Royal Irish Rifles, with whom he had fought three years in South Africa, and sailed for France in August of 1915. Wounded at Armentieres, he was sent back to the United States in 1916 as "unfit for service." He spent a period in Mount Clemens hospital, was discharged and set out for Canada, where he persuaded the Three Hundred and Fifty-fifth infantry, Canadian Expeditionary Forces, to take him on. Oversens his old wound caused trouble, and he was sent back to the United States again, "unfit," etc. Arriving in America in 1918, he toured New York and vicinity for the Third Liberty loan, appearing in his kilts, singing trench songs and telling why the loan should be oversubscribed. With Congressman F. C. Hicke he likewise campaigned for the Fourth Liberty loan, resting up while the Victory loan was carried through to success. Sullivan, a member of the American Legion at his home on Staten Island, recently appeared at national headquarters of the Legion to offer his aid in obtaining for Americans who enlisted with the Canadians the same privileges as have been accorded the C. E. F. veterans. Now he is in Canada seeking a hearing with Dominion officials in the matter. COMMANDS NEW S. S. 'LEGION' Captain Corkum Soon to Make Trip to South America—Sent Two Subs Down. Capt. Alex C. Corkum, commander of the new S. S. American Legion, of the new S.

S. transport "Amphion" in naval transport service during the war. PETER H. Preparations are now under way for a two-day trial trip of the "American Legion" from Camden, N. J., where it was constructed by the New York Ship Building corporation for the United States shipping board. John G. Emery, national commander of the American Legion, together with other officials of the legion and representatives of this and other countries will be on board the ship during the trial trip. Captain Corkum, besides his submarine sinking record, is famous for having established a new world's record for running time between New York and South America. The "American Legion" will be operated between New York and South American ports. EVERY MEMBER GET ANOTHER Indications Are That Big Campaign Will Double Membership of American Legion. The "every-member-get-a-member" campaign of the American Legion has begun, and reports received at the national headquarters at Indianapolis indicate that the purpose of the campaign, to double the membership, will soon be accomplished. To double the membership of the Legion was the ardent wish of F. W. Galbraith Jr., late national commander, who was killed in an automobile accident at Indianapolis. His successor, John G. Emery of Grand Rapids, Mich., was probably the first member of the Legion to get a member when the present campaign opened. Mr. Galbraith planned the campaign a short time before his death. He was anxious to have the membership doubled by October. It now appears that the campaign will end before that time. In his statement setting out plans for the campaign, Mr. Galbraith said: "The Legion has earned the right to do something in a national way primarily in the interests of its organization, and the time has come to exercise that right. I propose that the American Legion shall exactly double its membership. A tremendous undertaking you say. Yes, tremendously simple. Just an intensive effort when every Legion member in the world shall go out, lay a firm but friendly hand upon a buddy and sign him up. Every member get a member—and the job is done" WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS Only One Pilot for the National Aircraft More Than One Way to Pay Income Tax is This an "Embarrassment of Riches"? Admiral Sims Keeps the Postman Busy MILITARY CIVIL ONE PILOT IS ENOUGH AIRCRAFT SERVICE WASHINGTON.—President Harding favors the proposal to place all the aircraft services of the government, military and civil, under one central authority. There has been an impression that the President was opposed to this plan and that impression was emphasized when Major General Menoher, chief of the air service of the army, asked the secretary of war to remove the assistant chief, Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, who was a persistent advocate of amalgamation of the army and navy air services. It is learned, however, that the President is heartily in favor of the proposed amalgamation and that the joint reorganization commission, which is engaged in preparing plans for a reorganization of administration of the executive branch of the government, is inclined to recommend the unification of all the government's aircraft activities. APPROXIMATELY $20,000,000 was added to the government revenues during the fiscal year just ended through recoveries from false and fraudulent income tax returns, Commissioner Blair announced recently. Indictments have been returned during the year in every section of the country, he said, and many jail sentences have been imposed, ranging from 60 days to a year, in addition to the fines and penalties, which were also assessed. "Fraud upon the government by filing false and fraudulent tax returns appears in many unique ways," Mr. Blair said. "Some taxpayers are extremely crude in their methods, and reduce their taxes by merely omitting large items of income from their returns. "Manipulations of inventory are not infrequently found, and these can always be checked accurately by the field examiners of the bureau, and no business of any size can keep accurate books and at the same time manipulate inventories. Some taxpay- NEVER in the history of the world has so much gold been gathered within the confines of a single country as is in the United States today. The hoard now amounts to about one-third of the $10,000,000,000 gold coin and bullion in the world and it is still growing. Pretty much all the world owes us money, and whenever the debtors are able to pay something on account our gold pile increases. It will continue to grow so long as we sell more than we buy abroad. This record smashing in the accumulation of gold is an expensive luxury for us Americans, according to WHAT'S the matter with Admiral Sims? Apparently nothing, except that he's buried under an avalanche of mall—or would be, if he didn't keep digging out about eight working hours a day. Anyway, so numerous are letters and telegrams received by Admiral Sims, following his speech in London when he expressed himself concerning the "technical American citizens" in this country, that the admiral has been obliged to resort to a printed form by way of acknowledgment. Including cables sent him from the United States before he left London, the admiral carried to Newport with him messages from nearly a thousand well-wishers. Similar messages have been arriving ever since at the rate of more than 100 a week. The form letter prepared by the admiral on his return to Newport following his reprimand by the secretary of the navy for the London utterances, is as follows: "Newport, R. I., July, 1921.—I thank you very sincerely indeed for your thoughtful kindness in taking the trouble to inform me of your approval and appreciation of the sentiments I expressed in the speech I The position of President Harding in the matter is that amalgamation will work to efficiency and economy. One great difficulty pertaining to the present separate aircraft services that has impressed him is that there is no systematic method of awarding contracts for the construction of aircraft. One branch awards contracts without regard to any other government aircraft organization, and the President believes that this is detrimental to the upbuilding of private aircraft manufacture in the United States. The aircraft manufacturers are dependent almost entirely on government patronage, as commercial demands are small, and it is claimed that unless the government so arranges its contracts as to distribute contracts among all those concerns which produce aircraft meeting government standards, some of them may be obliged to go out of business. In these circumstances President Harding is understood to feel that a central government aircraft organization will be better able to determine how contracts should be awarded for the entire government. Inference is drawn from what is learned of the President's position that he is in favor of the amalgamation of the War and the Navy departments into a department of national defense. ERS, evidently, are of the belief that they can hire unscrupulous accountants who reconstruct their books, and then if the fraud is discovered blame it all on the accountants, to whom they usually pay large fees." In many instances field examiners have discovered that taxpayers keep two sets of books, one set accurately setting forth the status of the business and the other set fraudulently setting forth their income, and merely kept for the purpose of defrauding the government. It is safe to say that in nine out of ten of these latter cases the fraud is discovered within a short time after it is perpetrated. the economists who tell us that the inflow of the gold to the United States beginning early in the World war was an important factor in cheapening the dollar and increasing prices. Whether prices and the purchasing power of the dollar ever will return to the pre-war level is a universal question which the economists answer with the assertion that until our gold hoard diminishes materially prices will not decline materially. Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale university looks for a rise in wholesale prices and reviving business next fall. The Stable Money league is studying the phenomena of price movements with a view to recommending legislation to counteract such fluctuations in the purchasing power of the dollar as have upset industry, commerce, and household economy in the last few years. Professor Fisher proposes to stabilize the dollar by increasing its gold content when there is a tendency of gold to depreciate and decreasing its gold content when the tendency of gold is to appreciate. delivered in London before the English Speaking Union on June 7, 1921. "It is significant that I have been assured by hundreds of telegrams, letters and resolutions from all parts of the United States that our people generally approve the sentiments expressed in that speech; and that they are strongly disposed effectively to resent any interference in our domestic policles or foreign relations by any, hyphenated class of citizens whatever. "I should like to have acknowledged your communication in a more personal manner, but the number of similar messages I have received would render this possible only at the expense of very considerable delay.

SIMPLE SILK FROCKS THAT ARE INVITING FOR LEISURE HOURS 1920 bodice has a square neck and three-quarter length sleeves whose cuffs are edged with plaited frill of the silk. Even the sash is made of the foulard and is draped with a loop at the left side and loop with long end at the right. TAFFETA has accounted for the majority of the summer's silk frocks used alone and in combination with other materials. Foulard is well represented, but hardly ever alone, nearly always in the company of georgette crepe. These with crepe de chine, are written in this history of the styles as all of equal importance and have been made into simple frocks and more elaborate gowns whose days of usefulness are long drawn out. The simpler silk frocks, and especially those of taffeta, are a joy, summer and winter, the most adaptable and versatile of belongings. "Anytime" "anywhere" say these frocks—so long as it's a good time and pleasant where. The black taffetta at the right, for immediate wear, has a plain bodice with a wide-collar edged by a ruffle of narrow white ribbon. The tunic on this frock, as on the other one, is open at the front. It is elaborated with embroidery in white silk and bordered by a flounce edged with the ribbon. Colors, as blue or green, might be substituted for white in the decoration. As usual, in these frocks, there is a chemisette of lace and the sleeves are three-quarter length, and familiar these details are, they maintain their their unusual charm. Two of the least pretentious of these silken invitations to pleasant leisure hours are shown above. Foulard, for once unassisted by other materials, justifies its faith in itself in the frock at the left. Designers apparently make a plain, straight skirt in itse dresses because they must, and a tunic because they wish to. The The beloved frock of taffeta has a rival in that of crepe de chine. Each can hold any pace kept by the other although they are as different as can be—taffeta crisp and sprightly, georgette supple and aristocratic. FALL HATS MAKE THEIR DEBUT AND IN CHARMING VARIETY Fiskhats unheard-of things, in miniature, in sports and outdooring hats. A butterpaddle, a back comb, a few golf sticks and a ball or two unexpectedly reposing among simulated fruits and foliage. "It is to laugh"—and buy them immediately—for the new shapes are, above all, becoming. THERE is nothing like a new hat to cheer up the sad hearts of women who must regretfully put behind them the summer's adorable millinery. But the first frost, even the first hint of frost, is the death knell of late summer hats—they are pathetic in anything but balmy, not to say tropic, air, and now the cool September is within halling distance Here are four of them for immediate wear. At the top a fabric hat with stitched brim and a bell-crown—especially becoming to slender faces. A motif of embroidery and beads adorn it. To the left an off-the-face shape utilizes a ruching of narrow ribbon in a scroll design on its brim and its companion at the right sparkles with square cellophane plaques and beads. The demure and elegant poke-bonnet shape has a typical crown of the new season, large and indented and a gracious brim. Chenille fruits and foliage add to its richness. Above, a group of hats for early fall wear, cheerfully undertakes to make us forget our summer loves, and will certainly succeed. Glancing over them one may gather the salient features of the new modes—their hand-made elegance, their subtle and conservative lines, the beauty of the fabric used—including duvetyn and similar suede-like surfaces, moire, satel, velvet of the panne and plain varieties. Above all we are captivated by embellishments which are revealed in familiar and unfamiliar decorations. And when it comes to ornaments—they are fanciful, endlessly original, even amusing.
