SIMMONS ON TOUR IN VIRGINIA ROSCOE C. SIMMONS ON TOUR IN VIRGINIA VOL. XXVII. THE FOLLOWING address to the people of Virginia from Roscoe Simmons, president of the Lincoln League, and famous orator and publicist, has stirred the whole state, and put the illy whites in a panic: To Republicans of Virginia: The great commonwealth saw enacted the final scene in the contest between freedom and slavery; between God and Grant on one side and Lee and the bull-whip on the other. That story you know. The commonwealth is again the stage, whereupon the curtain will rise and fall in a scene hardly less important and impressive in the drama built around hopes broken but not lifeless yet. This day we could not escape. You have no reason to surrender to despair. Therefore, brace up and play the man. You must have felt the dimpled arms of babies around your neck. You must have heard the golden note of a mother's voice. You must have loving words from woman's lips that have spoken men to action. I do not speak to slaves. Though Lincoln wrote and died upon his pen and though Grant fought and rose upon his sword, the heart of a slave is neither moved nor changed in its place. I speak to men. No line of color is in my mind. You have heard me speak face to face with Virginians. My first and my last word has been: Let us make a nation from the bloods of God flowing in this land. No change has come over me. Union, not divisions, is my creed. Looking for Social Standing. Democrats, without social standing in that race which control the Democratic party, in quest of new ground on which to stand and a new home in which to live, determine to drive out of the Republican party in Virginia those who by numbers, devotion and intelligence once made the Republican party a bright, a shining light in the life of the commonwealth. With gifts in hand they have sought both sons of Republicans in Virginia and authorities of the Republican party in this nation. "Drive out the blacks," they have said. "Turn back the hand of time; spit on the Emancipation Proclamation; tear up the four principles of '56; blot out all memory of Lincoln; unfurl the doctrine of Taney; forget Grant and deny these swarthy sons of impudent fathers who came at Lincoln's call and saved the government; do these things and we will join you and build in Virginia a new Republican party; it will be a party of tea served and bread broken among one race." That is what was said. All right, said the national authorities; all right, see Bascom Slemp and go ahead. Virginians Forgot. Now you are aroused. This is proper. For thirty years Republicans of the commonwealth gave no sign that you still lived. You forsook the ballot box and passed the court house by. You forgot that strong men build for their children and that weak men draw from women no sustaining word of cheer. History you failed to recall. The deeds of others who set themselves free you refused to remember. Then suddenly bold men cried that chains belonged on your limbs. Up you rose. The world now looks on. What! great State Hist. & Nat Hist Boo State House THE ONLY RELIABLE COLORA ONS ON TOUR IN INIA Speak bravely, but in kind phrases. Give no offense to either friend or foe. Let apt words clothes every thought. Declare that your platform was written by Fremont, vindicated at Appomattox and runs by lines drawn and staked by all who have striven to rise. You should easily be moved to stand; both Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson, the author and the advocate, sleep in the soil of Virginia. Some will say that you would destroy the Republican party. Let your answer be that no man—no set of men can destroy the Republican party. Let your answer be that whoever lays hands upon the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution has assaulted the shrine of the Republican party, and whatever authority approves the deed is faithless alike to the memory of white and black men who join hands in the task to set free all the people of our country. My words are plain, but note that I am not bitter. My confidence in the justice of my countrymen remains unshaken; my trust in God no man can move. The evil hour for my country is on before. We are now scorned because of our color because of an ancient courage, but when the hour strikes we must again sustain our government. Our fight, therefore, is against the doctrine that it is proper to tax and arm us to maintain the government, but improper to hear our voice in the parliament of government or seat us in the councils of party confederation. How be it, other men have borne a heavier burden. Ours are not the first tears to flow. Words for All. I will now close. My words are for black and white alike. My words are for all Virginians. I see a united country in the future. I see a Republican party resting on character and not on color. I see the brand of outlawry erased from the brow of women, who also love and bear children. I see a better day. When the Republican party, the world's grand organization of free men and free speech, free labor and a free flag, is restored to former principles and the Republic- --- Speak Kind Words. Words for All. LE PEOPLE'S PAPER ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8 1921 Young Negro Club Boys Put Money in the Bank As evidence of earnest work on their projects, fifteen Negro boys of Marengo county, Ala., members of a special pig and corn corn, now have a total bank balance of $648, or an average of $43.20 for each boy. The least amount in the bank to the credit of any one boy is $7 and the largest is $150. Through the efforts of the State Negro Club agent, representing the United States Department of Agriculture and the State Agricultural College, in co-operation with Tuskegee Institute, the club was formed in 1917, on the plantation formerly owned by Gov. Thomas Seay. It has grown to a membership of fifteen boys, varying in age from 12 to 18 years. When these boys joined the club they were made to realize that if they expected to succeed it would be necessary for them to be alert, to study very carefully all instructive literature sent to them and all given them in person by their club leaders, and then follow faithfully the lessons of thrift and economy taught them throughout their club career. Their bank accounts prove the practical worth of the clubs to these boys, who have incidentally learned to produce more corn on an acre, to grow a better pig at a greater profit, and, finally, to be better citizens. Chicago Colored Girl Made Aviatrix by French Miss Bessie Coleman, a colored girl of Chicago, 24 years old, who has been studying aviation in France for the past ten months, arrived in New York City Sunday, Sept. 25th, on the American liner, Manchuria. She brought with her credentials from the French certifying that she had qualified as an aviatrix. Miss Coleman, who is having a special Neiuport scout plane built for her in France, said upon her arrival here that she intended to make flights in this country as an inspiration for people of the colored race to take up aviation. She said that few colored people had taken an interest in aviation and cited the 400,000,000 population of India as an example. Out of this very large Hindu population, she said, that only one has piloted a plane, and that one was a man. an ruler standing on ground once called holy. I see a NEW VIRGINIA, clothed in ancient robes of personal liberty—crowned with Peace. You have been challenged. The challenge to you is a challenge to all free men. You fight then for a nation. Your women have been scorned. Your children are without a country. Your home is not your castle. You are driven from the house that once sheltered your fathers. Strangers are within your gates. They raise the hand of oppression to strike. They call themselves REPUBLICANS. THEY ARE NOT REPUBLICANS. GOD KNOWS THEY ARE NOT REPUBLICANS. It is left to Virginia to teach them that they are not Republicans.—Roscoe Simmons in Washington Eagle, Saturday, Oct. 1, 1921. Wanted More Wages—Convicted as Vagrants Greenwood, Mass.—Because they refused to accept the wages offered them by the owners of the steamboat Choctaw, two members of the crew are now languishing in jail, having been convicted by the police on the charge of vagrancy. Several days ago the crew, all Negroes, went on strike for a raise in salary. They asked for $3 a day. The steamboat officials offered them $2 and board. Unable to reach an agreement the strikers left the boat, leaving word they could be found in a pool room if their terms were later complied with. After a conference between Chief of Police Bonner and the boat officials it was decided to teach the "fresh darkies" a lesson for presuming too much. So a number of Mississippi "ops" swooped down on the pool room and arrested every member of the striking crew found in the place. After remaining in jail three on four hours all agreed to return to work for the wages offered by the company except two. So for having the temerity to ask for a square deal they were fined $50 each and sentenced to thirty days in jail. Fordham Law School Has First Colored Girl She Was Trained in South to Teach the Deaf. Fordham University Law School which holds its sessions in the Woolworth building, registered this week the first Negress student. She is Miss Ruth W. Whaley, of Golsboro, N. C., a graduate of Livingstone College at Salsbury, N. C., one of the oldest Nego coeducational institutions in this country. Miss Whaley, who lives at 267 West 138th street, was elected after she received her Livingstone diploma to teach at a deaf school in Raleigh, N. C. She took special training at the North Carolina State School for the Deaf. While attending Livingstone College she was awarded a medal for argumentation and debating. This success inspired her to study law. She expects to specialize in domestic relations and to undertake sociological research work. Her parents are both teachers. The Arkansas Cases James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue today gave out the following statement concerning the status of the Arkansas cases. The fight still goes on in the Arkansas cases. The six men condemned to be executed early in September are still alive. An appeal to the governor for reprieve was unsuccessful. Then our attorneys applied for a writ of certiorari to act as a stay of the execution. On learning that the writ of certiorari could not be obtained in time to stop the execution as the judges of the Federal Court would not be in Washington until after the date of execution, application was made for a writ of habeas corpus. This was granted and made returnable Monday, September 26th. On Tuesday, September 27th, a telegram was received stating that the writ was sustained and that the execution was stayed. The telegram reads as follows: Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 27, 1921. James Weldon Johnson, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. Demurer to petition sustained. Appeal granted which stays execution. SCIPIO A. JONES. Evidence is now in hand which should have large weight towards securing the freedom of the prisoners who are yet to come to trial and which will favorably affect the fate of those already condemned. The other cases will be tried in Marianna in the near future, and this will be the first opportunity to use the new evidence. The association is leaving no stone unturned in its efforts to secure justice for these men. Federal Employes Plan Fight on Discrimination Washington, D. C., Sept. 30.—With a view to bringing all federal employés into a spirit of co-operation and breaking down the malicious discriminatory practices of subordinate departmental chiefs toward our racial group in the various departments at Washington and throughout the country, and for the purpose of advancing and retaining our men and women who are thus employed and certified for employment, the Federal Employés' League has been organized with headquarters at 1216 Pennsylvania avenue, N. Y., and is headed by the following officers: Hon. Perry W. Howard, special assistant attorney general, president. Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, director of vocational work in the Veterans' Bureau, vice president. Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican national committeeman, general counsel and legislative representative. John T. Risher, chief of muster roll division, Navy Department, secretary-treasurer. In addition to these active officers there is an advisory board. This movement is virile from the start and will be pushed with the greatest intensity. There will be no letup or compromise, but they will demand and insist that we go back to the old landmark when men and women stood on their merits rather than on their color. FRED DOUGLASS HOME MADE A HALL OF FAME FRED DOUGLASS HOME MADE A HALL OF FAME Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 29.—Frederick Douglass' home in Anacostia, D. C., will be the great hall of fame for colored Americans, according to Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, which has taken charge of the former home of the great Marylander. According to Mrs. Talbert, the dedication of the home will take place following the bi-annual meeting of the Federation in Richmond next year, at which time President Harding and other prominent men and women will be present. Contracts have been let for the complete renovation of the place, which will be made to look as it did when Frederick Douglass actually lived there. Pictures of various men and women will be placed in the hall of fame at the home by vote of the National Federation when in session. Mrs. Talbert also appeals for relies in the form of battle flags, slave bills of sale or anything else contributive toward the history of Negroes in America. NO 52 FROM $20 PER WEEK TO $1,000 EVERY NIGHT This Is What Happened to Mamie Smith In Short Space of Three Years By Wm. E. Ready. Some three years ago, Mamie Smith, jazz artist, appeared at the old Regent theater an entire week for the muni- ficent sum of $20, or $3.33 and a third cent per night. On last Tuesday, the said Mamie Smith began a three-days engagement at the newly enlarged theater of the same name, and under the same man-agement, at the slightly increased sum of $1,000 per night. Mamie Smith is a shining example of the "tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood lead on to fortune." There were jazz singers making records long before Mamie Smith entered the field. There are jazz singers making records today, but there is only one Mamie Smith. But there was something that these singers lacked in interpretation, call it "the human appeal," call it racial affinity; call it what you will—for our own part, we prefer to call it, "soul." Certainly it cannot be called superior voice equipment, for there are numbers of them whose voice was the equal, and in some cases superior, to hers, what ever it was Mamine Smith had it, and knew she had it, and did not fear to use it, with the result that she is today America's undisputed "Queen of Jazz." But the famous jazz singer has not been spoiled by her meteoric rise to her present commanding position. When the writer sought her out after her first performance on Tuesday evening he was welcomed into her small dressing-room up among the "files" of the Regent stage with the unaffected gratiousness that might have been expected only in the quiet confines of the reception room of her own home. Contrary to reports, Miss Smith, who in private life is Mrs. Ossey Wilson, is not a Baltimorean but a native of St. Louis. When this claim was mentioned to the singer, she laughingly replied that "every city in the country had laid claim to being her birthplace." During the interview a stalwart bronzed gentleman, wearing kahki overalls, came up and was introduced as Mr. Wilson, the Madam's husband and business manager; he also was introduced to another of the singer's constant companions, "Jazz Baby," a cunning tiny snow-white toy poodle. She admitted that her chief recreation is driving her $11,000 car. Recently in Norfolk, Va., she played in Billy Sunday's Tabernacle one night to 11,000. From Baltimore she goes to New York. After Christmas she and her "Jazz Hounds" will sail for Europe for an extended tour.—Afro-American, Baltimore. OHIO MAYOR RAPS KLUX AND JOINS N. A. A. C. P. Lima, Ohio, Sept. 30.—Frank A.

A cynic is a person who discovers mean things about himself and then says them about the rest of us.—Boston Transcript. Defined. Most people have a piece of furniture, a farm imple ment, or something else which they have discarded and which they no longer want. These things are put in the attic, or stored away in the barn, or left lying about, getting of less and less value each year. WHY NOT SELL THEM? Some folks are just plain irritants. You don't know why it is you don't like them. But you surely don't like them. By word and deed they get under your skin and you feel mean at being so touchy. But it can't be helped—they irritate. Do your best to get beyond the irritation stage. You can put up with a lot when you train yourself to it. In the end you may find that part of the irritation belongs to yourself. Come on. Be a sport.

McClintock has been elected president. Fifteen members of the Rocky Ford Lions Club were present at the initial meeting. The Alamosa Chamber of Commerce is gathering data regarding railroad shipments in connection with the proposed construction of a standard gauge railroad between Alamosa and Albuquerque, M. M. During the last fifteen days of September the State Inheritance Tax Department collected $15,485.32 from twenty-six estates in Colorado. The largest individual amount collected was from the estate of Alexander V. Officer of Weld county. For taxing purposes this estate was valued at $156,354.97 and the amount of the tax was $3,902.88. Heirs of Owen E. LeFevre of Denver paid the state $2.,376.78 on a valuation of $152,620.32. Total inheritance tax collected by the state since Jan. 1 is $381,417.85. L. R. Wigram, a prominent rancher of this section, was attacked by a Holstein bull at his ranch near Delta and seriously injured. The bull had escaped from a corral and Wigram led it back, and Just as he turned to close the gate the animal attacked him. Wigram was knocked down and pawed. One of Wigram's legs was broken and he was bruised from head to feet. Wigram finally crawled under a fence, which act probably saved his life as he was completely at the mercy of the maddened animal. Colorado stockmen have been lent $724,471 by the Stockgrowers Finance Corporation, the $50,000,000 live stock pool. The two or three applications for loans refused were for small amounts and are considered as negligible. This is a record, it is said, that has not been equalled any other place in the United States, and is taken by Denver bankers as showing the strength and stability of the live stock industry in Colorado and of the character of the men and the safety of their securities. All classes of property in Colorado are valued for taxing purposes at $1,578,588,449. This is the final figure submitted by the Colorado Tax Commission to the State Board of Equalization in its report for 1921. Last years the valuation was $1,590,267,667, so that this year there is a decrease of $11,799,218. In view of the slump in the values of sheep, cattle and farm products a decrease of less than $12,000,000 is considered a remarkable good showing. The prairie dog, which has always been looked upon as a pest of the first order, is worth money, according to Albert N. Froem of Olathe, who reports that he is the only man in the world who has ever cashed in on this animal. He actually sells them for money. In some parts of the world they do not have prairie dogs, and there they are looked upon as a rarity and are placed in their zoos alongside of the elephant and other natural curiosities. If the plans now under consideration by the Beaver Park Land and Water Company materializes the Beaver park district, of which Penrose is the larger town, will next spring have under construction a dam and reservoir at Brush hollow that will insure an adequate water supply for this rich farming district and will also enable close to 2,000 acres lying just west of the district to be irrigated and opened to settlement. The construction of a new water system with Little Horse creek fifty-four miles north of Rocky Ford, as the source of supply, was discussed at a special meeting of the city council of that city. The work would cost $500,000, it is estimated, and 2,500,000 gallons of water would be furnished. Word has been received at Boulder that the college of pharmacy, University of Colorado, has been unanimously elected to membership in the American Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties. The society is working for the advancement of pharmaceutical education and practice. Profits derived from gold mining will be exempt from federal taxation if an amendment to the tax bill introduced by Senator Sam D. Nicholson of Colorado receives favorable consideration. Senator Nicholson declares such legislation is needed to stimulate the production of gold. After a week of legal fighting in the Fort Morgan court, a jury hearing the trial of F. J. Grace versus the Macklem Baking Company for damages incurred in a collision of a Macklem truck driven by Robert Walker of Fort Morgan, and an automobile driven by F. J. Grace of Omaha on the Brush road Jan. 22, returned judgment against the baking company for $1,750. The bondholders of the Orchard Mesa district in the Grand valley, near Grand Junction, are to be paid $150,000 for cancellation of their bonds, by the federal government. This agreement was reached by Secretary of the Interior A. B. Fall, Arthur P. Davis, chief of the reclamation service, his lawyer, the representative of the bondholders and the district itself. A motorcycle accident on the Buckhorn road in the mountains near Loveland resulted in the serious injury of C. W. McWhinney, prominent Loveland real estate man. McWhinney was riding with W. J. Arb when the brakes refused to work on a steep hill and the machine went over a bank. McWhinney suffered a crushed chest in addition to cuts and bruises. Ralph Hendrickson, 14 years old, was instantly killed at the close of the first day of the fair at Holyoke. A plane had just alighted from a flight over the grounds, and the propeller was still in motion when the boy walked into it. He was thrown into the air, and when he struck the ground was dead. The De Beque Chamber of Commerce has asked the co-operation of the Chamber of Commerce of Grand Junction in making an exhibit of oil shale at the World Mining Congress to be held in Chicago Oct. 17, 1921. 44 MME.

The national, state, county and city officials are joining hands to meet what is rapidly looming as a serious problem if not a national catastrophe. The approach of winter is being dreaded on all sides. Idleness suggests want and hunger and these suggest crime. There is admittedly great danger in America's army of the unemployed. To meet the situation and to gain temporary relief, a suggestion of a "Go-to-Work" Week comes from all sides. There is abundant logic and good sense in the suggestion. And the "Go-to-Work" movement should be something more than a mere passive encouragement to those who honestly and earnestly desire to work. There should be a compelling force back of the I. W. W.'s and the other "I won't work" fellows who find a cheap substitute for hunger in cursing the country and suggesting an overthrow of our established government. By all means let us have a "Go-to-Work" Week and then let all America work. If the government can draft men and make them fight on foreign soil, it can surely use its same power in seeing that all of its man power is utilized for one week as a means of industrial salvation. The experiment will be watched with interest. It is worth while. HITTING THE BALL. ALL AMERICA is playing ball this week board. Shouts and cheers are real jeers await the vanquished.

DURING the sessions of the Presbyterian Synod held in Denver last week a noted speaker greatly deplored the tendency of many of our present day religious organizations to measure their degree of progress by the financial standing of one or two of their members. Of course there can be no reflection upon a church that the president of a bank or the richest man in town happens to be one of its members. But it is clear that the sphere of usefulness of any individual to a community cannot be calculated from the angle of ones financial rating nor the extent to which they contribute to the collection plate. This criticism of the church is by no means a new one and would pass unnoticed but for the fact that it is one that can be applied with equal force to any other community effort. The highest expression of usefulness to which any organization or individual can approach is the extent to which it contributes to the needs and aims of the masses. No other rule of procedure is safe, no other purpose worthy of perpetuity. But let us not lay too much at the door of the church. Let us not grade personal responsibility. Taking the newspaper for an example. Its most important function is to give expression to those things more nearly in accord with what affects or benefits the masses. Individuality must be lost for the most part and the editor or publisher treads upon a false premises who seeks to foit his personal likes or dislikes upon a community. Such a papers influence at once becomes circumscribed and becomes an object of ridicule if not hatred. Nothing is so wholly detrimental to the fundamentals of society as exclusiveness. An exclusive "set" of exclusive church or society carries no meaning worthy the name. We sometimes hear of those in a community who boast of the "best families" or old established residents. This is well so far as it goes, always provided that the "best families" have swept clean before their own doors and have at sometime offered a helping hand to less fortunate but equal inspiring families. He has not truly lived who has not at sometime in life wiped a tear from the eyes of the weeping or planted a new joy in the heart of the sorrowing. There is still efficacious sweetness in the lesson of the Nazarene who said, "Not for ourselves alone but for others," or that other mandate, "Man liveth not by bread alone." The real high lights of a community are those whose brilliancy knows no prescribed circle, whose soft light penetrates the heart of men, leaving a radiance that revivifies the soul and illumines the conscience. HAIL JUDGE HAGGOTT Judge Warren A. Haggott, presiding judge in the criminal division of the West Side court, added new honors to the judicial robe last Monday by a display of that absolute fairness so necessary in the affairs of the world today. During the progress of the Chester Hardy case before a jury in the West Side court, Carl Cline, an assistant in District Attorney Van Cice's office, sought to grow sarcastic and flippant at the expense of Attorney S. E. Cary, who was putting up an able defense for Hardy. Evidently unfamiliar with the decencies and ethics that serve as the time-honored traditions of the legal profession, he indulged in sarcastic references to opposing counsel, for which Judge Haggott would not stand.

This re refused to do and also refused to apologize to the court, whereupon Judge Haggott imposed a fine of $25 upon him and ordered him committed to jail until the fine was paid. A brief spell of jail life brought him to his senses and he not only offered the necessary apology but tendered his check in payment of the fine. It may be well to state that Cline is a brother of that other Cline who led the fight against a Negro owning property in the Clayton addition a year or so ago, and so his narrow-minded attitude and apparent bitter prejudice is not difficult to fathom. It's in the blood. Cary stands a bigger man in every way because of the incident and his subsequent victory in gaining Hardy his freedom. Why Englishmen Proudly Welcome the Statue of George Washington Why Englishmen Proudly Welcome the Statue of George Washington By LORD CURZON, in Acceptance Address. Some may ask why it is that English and proudly welcome this statue of W. Trafalgar square. The answer is this: it was a great Englishman—one of the great men that ever lived; because, though and vanquished us, he was fighting for principles which are as sacred to us as the American people, and which are embeddable fibers of our common race. The statue is a symbol and a sign of the fact that the two branches of the English since we last fought, and that conflict was more proud and of which some of us are very much in fight again. I should like to add that we can fought never to quarrel again. The idea is such on a public platform and uttered it in this course from the place. I believe and hope that the same country. But not merely can your nation so fight and never to quarrel; we can do a great nation from fighting. The submit, is the main function and duty that lies. It is by the example we set, by the common sad and are prepared to endure again, by the formation of our ambassadors and statesmen, by the people, by the influence of the press of both greater restraint were sometimes put upon the other—it is by these influences that the peace of the world is insured. It upon that is in the hands of these two great men is inspired by the temperate judgment, the loathsome selfish purpose of George Washington, we our weapon for the inestimable advantage of mankind. Annoying Feature of U. S. City Life Nuisance of Back Alley Cats speaking race are now and henceforth indissolubly one. It is now more than a hundred years since we last fought, and that conflict was one of which none of us are proud and of which some of us are very much ashamed. We can never fight again. I should like to add that we can never quarrel again. We ought never to quarrel again. The idea is such that if anybody got up on a public platform and uttered it in this country he would be hooted from the place. I believe and hope that the same sentiments prevail in your country. But not merely can your nation and mine engage never to fight and never to quarrel; we can do a great deal to prevent other nations from fighting. That, I submit, is the main function and duty that lies upon us in the future. It is by the example we set, by the common sacrifices that we have endured and are prepared to endure again, by the friendly counsel and co-operation of our ambassadors and statesmen, by the resolute determination of our people, by the influence of the press of both countries—and would that greater restraint were sometimes put upon it, whether it be on one side or the other—it is by these influences that we should endeavor to see that the peace of the world is insured. It is a great and powerful weapon that is in the hands of these two great nations, and if our use of it is inspired by the temperate judgment, the lofty nobility of soul, and the unselfish purpose of George Washington, we ought to be able to use that weapon for the inestimable advantage of mankind. Annoying Feature of U. S. City Life Nuisance of Back Alley Cats By A. L. LANCASTER, Birmingham, England. In the annoying features of city life, as I find the presence of back alley cats. London is the only one organized warfare on cats that are homeless, annoying. Every year 30,000 cats are caught behind and these are painlessly killed, their skins being truffs and gloves. American newspapers and periodicals I note quiet and gentlemen hurling shoes and other missiles are yard fences. While traveling through the U.K. hotels and in the homes of friends, I have lost the concerts. The noises are actually unbearable, and I wonder of each city government set aside for the in the offending felines. I should think that a way of putting a certain class of men to work. Cats and rifles with silencers to go through the bywairfare. Viet Russia Yields Scarcely 20 Cent of Former Foodstuffs One of the annoying features of city life, as I find it here, is the perennial nuisance of back alley cats. London is the only city I know of that makes organized warfare on cats that are homeless, starving and therefore annoying. Every year 30,000 cats are caught by the London cat catchers, and these are painlessly killed, their skins being used in the making of muffs and gloves. In the American newspapers and periodicals I note quite often funny pictures of old gentlemen hurling shoes and other missiles at cats serenading on backyard fences. While traveling through the United States, stopping in hotels and in the homes of friends, I have lost many nights' sleep by these concerts. Some of the noises are actually unbearable, and I wonder why there is not a department of each city government set aside for the one purpose of gathering in the offending felines. I should think that this would be one good way of putting a certain class of men to work. They could be furnished bags and rifles with silencers to go through the byways after dark and wage warfare. Soviet Russia Yields Scarcely 20 Per Cent of Former Foodstuffs In the grain producing territories of that portion of the country which is now controlled by the soviets 10 poods (a pood is about 36 pounds) of wheat and above the amounts needed for local coies. During the crop year 1920-21 the food government were able to procure from these 10,000 poods of grain, in many cases at the ceded for minimum local consumption. in kind established for the current crop year In 1916 the grain producing territories of that portion of the former Russian empire which is now controlled by the soviets yielded about 1,100,000,000 poods (a pood is about 36 pounds) of wheat, rye, barley and oats over and above the amounts needed for local consumption in these territories. During the crop year 1920-21 the food supply agencies of the soviet government were able to procure from these territories only about 280,000,000 poods of grain, in many cases at the expense of the amounts needed for minimum local consumption. The tax in kind established for the current crop year in the place of the system of requisitions which existed last year calls for only 240,000,000 poods, yet Lenin has already stated that there is reason to believe that the actual amounts gathered will be "several tens of millions of poods under the original figure." In other words, under the soviet regime Russia can scarcely yield 20 per cent of the amount of foodstuffs she yielded under the imperial regime, for distribution to the portions of the country which do not raise their own food supply and for exportation abroad. Failure of "Diarmament Conference" Would Be a Catastrophe By LORD NORTHCLIFFE, English Newspaper Publisher The world is sick and needs time to recover from the tremendous shock it has received. What are known as social questions are also pressing upon us; for while the economic and industrial position is not normal, millions of men and women, who during the war attained a higher standard of life, are anxious not to be thrust back into prewar conditions. There is at the same time a reaction from the high idealism that animated the allies and their associates during the war. People are feeling a little disheartened; they are wondering whether human affairs will ever be settled by anything except force, whether good will, reason and common sense will ever regulate the intercourse of nations. I cannot conceive of any greatetr disaster than the failure of the coming disarmament conference to achieve the ends for which it will meet. It is essential that all should help make it a success. We can all help. We can help by promoting good will, by not saying unkind things about other nations, by disarming our minds before we reduce our fleets. Failure of the conference would be a catastrophe. 6 Some may ask why it is that Englishmen gladly and proudly welcome this statue of Washington in Trafalgar square. The answer is this: Because he was a great Englishman—one of the greatest Englishmen that ever lived; because, though he fought us and vanquished us, he was fighting for ideals and principles which are as sacred to us as they are to the American people, and which are embedded in the very fibers of our common race. The statue is a symbol and a sign.

Sealing Wax Etiquette In the days when all correspondence was sealed there was etiquette about the use of sealing wax. Royalty would give some favorite courtier the sole right to use a certain colored wax, and officers of the state would each have distinguishing colors, in much the same way as staff, officers of the army wear colored "tabs" nowadays. Flag Etiquette. When the flag passes in a parade or review, the spectator should, if walking, halt; if sitting, arise, stand at attention and salute. Civilians should remove their hats, although women are expected only to stand respectfully until the colors pass. All men in uniform of any branch of the army and navy are required to stand at attention and salute until the colors have passed. Wall Paper. If your wall paper has cracked you can mend it successfully by cutting the pattern from that which was left over and fitting it over the crack and pasting it firmly. "Old Nick," Applied to the Devil. "Old Nick," popular sobriquet of the devil, is derived both from St. Nicholas (German Nicolaus, diminutive Nickel, often used of the devil) and from Nekker (or Nikker), a Teutonic water sprite whose appearance to sailors foreboded death and drowning. "Old Harry," "Old One" and "Old Scratch" are other names similarly used. Vagaries of Lightning. The keynote of it all, in the opinion of the experts, seems to be that in the comings and goings of lightning man plays a small part. Many of the precautions which it has become a habit to take are born of blind instinct, that sees safety in obvious things, where there is really no safety at all. But from the vagueness of expert opinion a few generalities emerge, which offer some consolation as being the best possible under the conditions.

AN UNPLEASANT INCIDENT. | Last Sunday night a party composed of Doctors Woods and Holmes, Mrs. Woods and Mrs. De Loche went to the Orpheum theater for the purpose of enjoying the bill offered as a special attraction for “theater week.” Mrs. Woods had called at the box office on Saturday and purehased tickets in a very desirable portion of the balcony and without question, But when the party called at the theater on Sunday night and presented the tickets the ushers, aided by the manager, sought to pull off a quickejuggling act and shift Dr. Woods and party to other seats. Dr, Woods strongly remonstrat- ed against this action and gaye the management to understand that he would not relinquish his rights in the matter under any circumstances. ‘At about this time Dr. Clarence F. Holmes came upon the scene and not only gaye emphatic backing to Dr, Woods but called in two police offt- cers, who demanded that the manage- ment give to the colored patrons the seats they had paid for, This was done, notwithstanding other parties had been given the seats during the parley. ‘The prompt and commendatory ac- tion on the part of the police depart. ment is indeed a hopeful sign. Too long haye our people been subjected to petty annoyances by flippant ushers and Janus-faced managers. It is time to call a halt.

Bu- chanan, who departed this life Sept. 29, 1921, Denver has lost another of her pioneers and the head of one of her first families, Mr, Buchanan hav- ing preceded her nearly four years ago. Mrs. Buchanan came to Denver from Virginia in ’88, almost two years after the arrival of her husband, lo- eating on the North Side. A few years later they moved into thelr own home in Barnum, where they have lived ever since. Those were the days of Barnum’s history as a town with its own town officials, and although Mr, Buchanan represented one of the three colored families then living there, such was his standing in the community that he re- ceived the majority of votes in the town election over his white competi- tor and served for several years as street commissioner. Mrs. Buchanan was a fitting help-meet to her rugged husband and like the Good Samaritan was ever ready to sacrifice to help a needy neighbor. Her whole life was a record of generosity and deeds of liv- ing helpfulness. ‘Truly she realized the meaning of Christianity and lived it in her life of service. Her work was over and she gently went to sleep leav- ing a host of friends to mourn with her bereaved ones. Mrs. Buchauan is survived by her eight children, Mrs. BE. W. Jarrett of Denver,. Miss Hannah Buchanan, a teacher in the public schools of Atlan- ta, Ga,; Fenton M, Buchanan, Miss Lu- cile Buchanan, teacher Lincoln High School, Kansas City; Mrs. Roy Reed of San’ Francisco, Calif.; Mrs. Wm.

BOY SCOUT EXTENSION CAM- PAIGN. Mayor Bailey of the city of Denver has issued a proclamation declaring Sunday, October 16th, Scout Sunday, and the week following, Boy Scout Week. ; Scout Sunday will be observed in all the churches that support Scout troops, and in a number of others, by services appropriate to the occasion. Boy Scouts will act as ushers, carry on demonstrations of Scouting activi- ties and in a number of instances con- duct the entire evening service on that Sunday. ‘A torch light parade will he staged by the Scouts on Saturday evening, October 15th, It will be something out of the ordinary for numbers of indi- vidual troops have promised to put on many novel and interesting features, Promptly at 8 p.m. the column will leave the East Side High school and entertain the Saturday evening throng of pleasure seekers. | On Thursday of the following week fihe largest Scout parade ever staged in Denyer will be conducted. ‘The col- Hunn of Scouts, marching, on bicycles, floats, ete., will begin the line of march which includes the principal streets of ithe city, promptly at 10 a. m. | ‘Throughout the week people will be- ‘come acquainted with what Scouts do through the displays in the down-town store windows, demonstrations on the streets, in the theaters and civie cen- ter, A model camp, with perhaps 200 ‘boys participating, will be kept in the jelvie center the entire week. Boys [will be on the grounds after school, evenings and all day ‘Thursday, Fri- ‘day sand Saturday. ‘The primary aim of the campaign will be to interest adults in the Seout- ing program so that its benefits can ‘be extended to a much larger number ‘of boys. It is hoped that the present ‘membership of 2,500 boys may be dou- bled. Incidentally it will be necessary to raise the budget of $25,000 for the ensuing year. Since Scouting is not a charity but an INVESTMENT, this will be accomplished through the sell- ing of memberships ranging from $5 up. At a large meeting at the Adams hotel Monday eventing of this week, the enthusiasm of the 160 men who at- tended the meeting indicated that the eampaign would go over in a big way. Scout speakers also will appear at more than 100 churehes Sunday, Octo- ber 9th, to acquaint the congregations with the Scout movement. ‘The Scouts of the B. 'T.

REPRESENTS THE SERVICE How It Happened That Many Who Died in France Could Not Be Identified, Despite the Disks They Were Given. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington. In the presence of roarking military officers of all countries which took a part in the great war as allies against the central powers of Europe, an unknown American soldier will be buried on Armistice day in the national cemetery at Arlington. The highest military honors which it is possible to give will be accorded the unknown warrior. Already in England and in France the bodies of unknown soldiers of those countries have been buried with every possible tribute. The French soldier lies under the Arc de Triomphe, and the British soldier within the walls of Westminster abbey. Gen. John J. Pershing, commanding general of the American army, is now on his way to France, where he will participate in the ceremony of awarding the American Medal of Honor, voted by the American congress, to the unknown soldier of France, whose body lies under the great triumphal arch. If General Pershing has time before his presence is needed in the United States to welcome Marshal Foch and other foreign military officers, he will visit England and place the American Medal of Honor upon the grave of the unknown British soldier, who lies in Westminster abbey. In case he cannot visit England, the medal ceremony will be performed by another American military officer of high rank. Represents Spirit of the Service. The unknown American soldier, whose body is to be buried in Arlington or Armsice day, will rest in the great amphitheater which has within its encircling walls a Hall of Fame. The soldier will be the only unknown American to rest within the enclosure. Unknown as he is, this American member of the expeditionary force is in sentiment supposed to represent the spirit of the service and the willingness for sacrifice of all Americans who entered the army or navy during the great war. That he is not known adds, of course, to the somewhat mystical nature of the ennobling ceremony. Who is the unknown soldier? No one can answer. It is certain, of course, that the American authorities, and the British and French authorities, used every effort to determine the identity of the unknown before making the bodies the subjects and the centers of the tributes of the nations. A good many unknown soldiers were buried in the fields of France. Since their burial, some of the unknown dead have been identified, but identification, in many cases has been due more to accident than to anything else. Every soldier and sailor in the American army, officer or enlisted man, was supposed to year on his person two identification disks. Sometimes three were worn, one on the wrist and two about the neck pendant from cords. When a soldier was buried on the field one of his identification disks was buried with him and the other was kept for reference. Unless the burial was under fire, or necessarily hurried for some reason, the grave always was marked with the identification number of the dead and with the number of his regiment and the letter of his company. These preliminary precautions made it possible in almost every case to fix the identity of the fallen. Discarded or Lost Their Disks. Soldiers sometimes did curious things which it is hard to explain. A number of men threw away their identification disks or else lost them, although how they could be lost it is hard to explain. The cords by which the disks were suspended from the neck and hidden; under the blouse were stout tapes which years of wear seemingly would not abrade to the breaking point. The tapes and pendant were not supposed to be removed. In all the armies which fought the Germans on the western front it was found at times that soldiers who had been killed bore no identification tags. There were a few cases in which all the insignia on the man's clothing had been removed. In most of these cases the presumption was that the bodies lay unburied after a temporary retreat and that the Germans removed the tags and the regimental identification marks for the purpose of determining just what units of the enemy lay at their front. This is regarded, of course, as being a legitimate act in warfare for it is of the greatest service sometimes to the commanding officer to know with whom he is to deal at his front. Watson May Be Senate Leader. During the vacation time the Republican senators who remained in Washington interested themselves in quiet discussions as to who should be the temporary leader of the party in the senate while Senator Lodge is serving in the room of the conference on the limitation of armaments and Far East problems. There is, of course, Democratic interest in this matter just about as keen as that in evidence in the ranks of the dominant party. Senator James E. Watson of Indiana has been suggested as a leader pro tem for the Republicans during the Massachusetts senator's absence. There is nothing certain, however, about the choice of Senator Watson. He belongs to the conservative school of Republicanism and it is possible that the progressive school members will prefer somebody else and will make an attempt to secure a compromise. The Republican situation in the senate today is entirely different from that which obtained in the congress which was brought to an end on March 4 last. Prior to that time the Republican majority in the senate was exceedingly small, and in fact at times it hardly could be accounted as a majority, because it never was known definitely whether all the Republican membership could be held in line on certain legislative matters. Today things have changed, and while the Republicans occasionally are put to it to line up all their members in behalf of a legislative policy, they have such a wide majority margin to go on that worry except on certain international matters seemingly is absent from the ranks. No Break With Senate Yet. Nothing yet has developed in the senate to make for an immediate breach between the President and the majority of his party's representatives in the upper house, but history has shown that breaks do come and it may be that President Harding will have some trouble with some Republican senators before all the international relations questions definitely have been answered. It is, of course, an old story now, but during the campaign President Harding expressed himself as being favorable to some kind of an association of nations which would make for lasting peace and therefore for lasting good in the world. He expressly declared that an association of nations did not mean the League of Nations There are some Republican senators who are opposed to any kind of an association of nations unless it be one which is stronger in name than in fact. These Republicans fear and say they fear that such an association would mean the surrender of certain American rights, privileges and doctrines. Recently it has been said that President Harding has reconsidered his thoughts on an association of nations and intends to make no proposal at any time looking to such a pact. There is, in truth, however, no sharp evidence here that the President has changed his mind. Revolt May Be Avoided. Some men in high position believe that when the conference on limitation of armaments is at an end the administration will have something to propose which it thinks will bring the nations closely together in some kind of a working agreement to direct world affairs in the path which they should go. Of course all this is in the future, but it may be that if such a plan is proposed President Harding will have his first experience with something which will look like a revolt in the senate. It may be that nothing will come of it, and that a plan for an association of nations will be so outlined as to meet with the approval of the Republican senators who thus far have fought every proposal which they thought was looking toward closer relations between the United States and foreign governments. However, there has been no administration for years which at some time or other has not met with opposition difficulties from some of the members of its own party in the upper house. The senate is just getting back to work after its short recess. There are several great matters of legislation to come before the body almost immediately, and it is certain that the consideration which must be given to such things as taxation and tariff will keep the minds of the senators for some little time off international matters which have in them the germs of possible future differences, not only between members of the senate, but between some of the members and the administration. Takes Little to Stir Up Things. How two successive requests for a certain kind of glove resulted in the manufacture of hundreds of dozens of this particular style was disclosed in New York recently. A woman buyer asked for a glove which the manufacturer did not make. She went away, and within a few hours another made a similar request. She also had to leave without placing her order, and both presumably made the rounds of others in the glove business. The next day several manufacturers chanced to meet and one asked: "Do you see a demand for so and so?" The others agreed they had requests for them. So each instructed his factories to make up the gloves. As far as could be learned, there have been no more requests for the same article. Had Direct Communication. Before the war, Germany was in direct cable communication with the United States. In the spring of 1900, the cable of the Deutsche Atlantische Telegraphen-Gesellschaft was laid from Borkum to Fayal and in the summer extended to New York, so that on August 31, President McKinley and the former William of Germany were able to exchange messages.

INDUSTRY IS ON UPGRADE PRODUCTION OF ALL MATERIALS INCREASES STEADILY AND EXPORTS ARE GROWING. CURRENCY VALUE HELPS HOOVER ADDRESSES SESSION OF MANUFACTURERS AT AN- NUAL DINNER. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) New York.—National industry is in the early springtime of recovery, having entered the period of easier credits. Secretary of Commerce Hoover told members of the American Manufacturers' Export Association at their annual dinner here. This was marked, hes aid, by the rise in the price of bonds and the fall in federal reserve and interest rates generally. He emphasized that he did not wish to be understood as saying that the country is on the threshold of a boom. "We have a long way to go to get back to economic stability," he said. "We have yet to go through with much readjustment in price levels, but we are definitely on the road." Citing other evidence of recovery Secretary Hoover said there had been a very definite increase during the last two months in the production of textiles, coal, iron, steel, shoes, building materials and building construction. "There is, in the construction industries," he continued, "even a larger activity than at this time a year ago. Our exports of foodstuffs have not only been increasing but they are also larger in volume than that of a year ago, and this indeed, without any forced measures of foreign government credits." The destructive effect of violent fluctuations in foreign exchange, he said, was the first obstruction to American foreign trade, and until some measure of stability could be secured from month to month, there was little hope that the foreign trade of this or any other country would recover to normal. "There can be no hope of stability in any of the world's exchanges," he added, "so long as inflation continues in so considerable a part of the world. "I am perfectly well aware that we should not interest ourselves as a government in stabilizing the budgets and establishing sound currencies in foreign countries, but unless our commercial community is willing in some way to interest itself in the countries struggling with fiscal and commercial problems, we must expect to pay many thousand fold in the loss of export markets and in the employment of our people. It should not be beyond the intelligence of the human race to secure a solution of this matter as would result in some stabilization of the German mark. Better arrangement of this matter must take priority if we are to see stability in any of the European currencies." Schools Returned to Private Control. Riga.—The decentralization of Russia's schools and denationalization of the theaters and moving picture houses was announced by M. Lunacharsky, former Russian minister of education, who has reached Riga and is trying to proceed to Italy to represent the Third Internationale at the Italian Socialist conference. "The central government has decided to turn over the management of the schools to the local governments, which will maintain them by taxation." Major Gen. Dickman Retires. Washington.—Maj. Gen. Joseph T. Dickman, commander of the Eighth corps area, with headquarters at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and former chief of the army of occupation in Germany, retired from active service in the army, ending a continuous record of more than forty-five years in the military establishment. In announcing his retirement Secretary Weeks said the vacancy in the grade of major general would be filled by Maj. Gen. Samuel D. SturGIS. Arbuckle's Lawyer Resigns. Los Angeles, Calif.,—Frank E. Dominguez announced here that he had withdrawn as a member of counsel for Roscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle in his trial on a charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of Miss Virginia Rappe. Dominguez, in a letter to Arbuckle, which he later gave out for publication, declared he could not spend the necessary time in San Francisco to carry on Arbuckle's defense in the courts there. Mrs. Bergdoll Wants Property. Washington—Mrs. Emma C. Bergdoll and Charles A. Braun, mother and brother of Grover C. Bergdoll, draft evader, have filed suit in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia against Thomas W. Miller, alien property custodian, and Frank White, treasurer of the United States, for the return of property valued at $176,904.25, seized as belonging to Grover Bergdoll. The property included bank deposits and mortgages which Mrs. Bergdoll claimed as her property. NOT ALL AFRAID Airplane Has Odd Effect on Denizens of Jungle. Many Animals Fled From Strange Sight but Others Showed Neither Fear Nor Curiosity. Jason Humphreys, the twelve-year-old English boy who flew with his father, the pilot, a camera man and a scientist from Cairo to Cape Town, enjoyed a more novel experience than most boys of his age will ever know. The sudden change from bush to civilization as represented by clearings for small villages and farms and back again impressed young Humphreys very much. He was more interested, however, in the behavior of the wild beasts and birds over which he was flying. These took the passing of the airplane variously. Birds showed almost no curiosity except in the remotest regions. "They just flew along with us or left us," says Jason. This, it is said, is because birds fly far, and during the years of the war, African birds undoubtedly saw flying machines and became more or less used to them. Wild beasts showed individual temperaments. Lions and leopards could be seen stalking along, oblivious to the giant purring overhead. If the machine came so low that the noise of the engine could not help reaching them, they sided under protecting underbrush, but they never looked up. The naturalist has offered no explanation for this. It is a new phenomenon and must be studied. Usually lions and leopards are in terror of strange noises, and know from infancy, by instinct, that gunfire bodes them no good. During the late war there was a general exodus of wild beasts from every quarter of Africa where any fighting was going on. They crashed through the jungles for miles, trying to get away from the sound of the guns; they traveled far from their real homes, and natural enemies traveled together in their fright without molesting one another. Since the close of the war bushmen and hunters have found them all back home again or traveling back. Their indifference to the sounds of the airplane, therefore, is surprising. Apes and monkeys made wild efforts to reach the topmost branches of the highest trees in order to get a better view, and they could be sometimes heard screaming to one another above the noise of the engine, more in excitement and curiosity, presumably, than in fear. Hippopotami were indifferent, neither hastening their lumbering steps nor glancing up; they did not seek amuse, as did the cats. But rhinocerl were panic-stricken. They rushed off headlong to cover. Crocodiles sprang from the banks of streams and hid beneath the surface of the water until the flying machine had passed. Prophecy in a Fake Story. Prophecy in a Fake Story. It is hard to know when to laugh. What was obviously a hoax yesterday, because of its utter impossibility, becomes a commonplace reality of today. It was a glorious hoax in 1844, when a New York daily announced: "Astounding News by Express From Norfolk! "The Atlantic Crossed in Three Days!! "Signal Triumph of Mr. Monck Mason's Flying Machine!!!" Breathless New Yorkers were informed that eight men had accomplished a transatlantic flight and were given full particulars of the machinery and the voyage, all imaginary. But did anyone dream of a hoax when the airplanes of the United States navy crossed the ocean a little while ago? Bernard Shaw Aged 254. "I am fairly familiar with Mr. Shaw's plays and prefaces," writes Gilbert Seldes in The Dial, "but I recall no emphatic acknowledgment anywhere of his debt to Gulliver's Travels, and if it mattered very much I should accuse Mr. Shaw of flinging Samuel Butler and the mysterious Captain Wilson like pepper in our eyes for fear of seeing the great dean too clearly. On a hundred topics, from doctors to diet, they have similar ideas." Perhaps Mr. Shaw is like one of those characters in his new play who live to be 300 years old, under various names. If Bernard Shaw is Dean Swift, he is 254 years old. A Master Mind. "He chased a criminal through thirty-seven states and arrested him just as he was boarding a transatlantic liner." "Good work, but why so extraordinary?" "He refrained from giving out an interview to the press until after he had caught his man."—Birmingham Age-Herald. A. Personal Matter. "Senator Snortsworthy seems ds couraged over the party's prospects.' "That's only temporary." "Yes?"

He—What would you say if I were to throw a kiss at you? She—I'd say you were the laziest man I ever met.
