LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY A TIME OF RECKONING ```markdown ``` VOL. XXVIII. IN THE BUSY march of life there comes a time when the individual stops for self-examination; the business man for an accounting; the hard-worked teacher and diligent pupil for relaxation from the successive weeks of arduous school work, the toilsome laborer from both his physical and mental activities in his struggles to maintain his family, and therefore in the general order of things a pause or a halt takes place as if to offer a reminder that there must be a time of reckoning. Our Banking Institutions. Banking institutions request some of their patrons to come in periodically and get statements of their accounts; others they call upon for the adjustment of interests on their deposits, semi-annually or annually, and this in many instances gives rise to the securing of good investments by those who by thrift and an adherence to strict economical purposes spend some time in reckoning—the reasoning with one's self and arriving at a conclusion from the argument. Keeping in this order, a principle is formed which in turn generates itself into a community, and STOCK TAKING begins to be engaged in by that class of business men, who is ever ready to facilitate the public by offering credit sales as well as cash. Having been benefited by the kindly action of these benefactors, the public resolve to show their appreciation by responding to the notices sent them by the MERCHANTS OF OUR CITY, among whom has sprung up a friendly relationship in the business world, and which response in the majority satisfies the heads of firms, that it is a pleasure to deal with such members of the community. These customers and patrons come to the rescue of the large business as they are quite aware of the great danger that would follow if such an institution should fall—prestige built up and maintained for years being last at the stroke of a pen or by a court decision; a tourist trade on which a fair share of the city's development depends from the advertisement given it by visitors, facing possible ruin, such impressions may form the influential agent that would rather tend to the support than non-support of such large institutions. But, asks one, what about the greatest of all institutions—THE PRESS AND THE NEWSPAPERMAN? Oh what an admiration for the press! Everyone declares that a community cannot exist successfully without the influence of the press, which shapes its very mind (as is generally expressed), and oh, the fatality that would befall a nation were the press to be suspended for a week or a month! Yes, great institution—the press—and in the best of words and the highest sounding phrases we offer our commendation, but the newspaper man. His bills, his obligations must be met and in many instances in advance. He is always on the go securing the news for all the people, seeing that his paper is well "made-up" so as to be attractive to the advertiser and the general public, giving healthy, sound information and news that the community can be pleased with, as it tends to all round improvement. This business man also pauses for a RECKONING, but hardly any one "stops to reason why, or stops to State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House make reply," to his continuous appeals for the KIND OF RECKONING that would increase his list of subscribers, enhance the value of his publication and offer the financial assistance which he merits for the permanent maintenance of his news journal. THE BETTER TIME IS COMING. A very good consolation, but it has come to the paper man so often with very little results favorable to his cause that he would rather appreciate the sentence "the better time has come," which can be made possible if his patrons resolve to do so. That present day actions are proving beyond a doubt that the time of reckoning is here now, no one will deny, but will some one halt by his way? Ship Line From U. S. to Liberia Is Latest Plan Seattle, Wash., June 23.—Lieut. James A. Roston, president of the Liberian American Trading Company, advised recently that the Shipping Board has decided to establish regular and direct steamship connections between this country and Liberia for the purpose of transporting Liberian products to America and to carry American products to Liberia, says a writer in a recent issue of the Daily Journal of Commerce. The ship line will be operated between New York and Liberian ports by the Bull West African line. Monthly sailings will be maintained between the two points, and from New York the Liberian products will be brought to Puget Sound by carriers of intercoastal lines. The first sailing from New York to Liberia will be the Shipping Board steamship West Saginaw, which is scheduled to clear for the African country June 29. From Puget Sound the Liberian Trading Company will send big shipments of fish of all kinds, rice, flour and other foodstuffs to Liberia. Already the concern is in the market for these Pacific Northwest products. It is the plan of the firm to transship Oriental rice from Seattle to Liberia. The Liberian American corporation, which represents the Africa Industries Co. of Liberia in America, has been organized to handle the importation of such products as copra, palm oil, hard woods, ivory, rubber, etc. The first shipment of Liberian coffee is en route to Puget Sound now and is expected to reach Seattle about the first of August. Saving Her Honor, Girl Killed White Roxbury, N.

BLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 1 1922 Ku Klux Visits Colored Churches In Kansas City Kansas City, Kan., June 22.—Eight colored churches and the Douglass hospital were visited by members of the Ku Klux Klan local branch last week and left letters containing ten dollars each and the hospital was given twenty-five dollars. The letter stated: "To the Pastor and Congregation: "Your people are as vitally interested in the problems of today as are your white brethren. Will you supinely submit to foreign religious political domination or will you awake to the menace and stand shoulder to shoulder with your white brethren—offering a united front to the common enemy? "The constitution of these United States gives to every man the right to worship God as he may see fit, but does not delegate to any sect or creed the right to enforce their belief on another. As members of Protestant churches you are protectors before the world against certain religious practices. "And this organization (the most powerful secret institution in the world) is zealously standing guard over American institutions and ideals. "We have no quarrel with the colored man; he is American and as such has the support of American citizens, and we are ever ready to assist him in his lawful pursuits of happiness. "We realize your problems and view with favor the great work you are doing in uplifting your people, and in recognition of your efforts we are enclosing with this letter a contribution to be used as you may see fit. "Faithfully yours, "KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN, "Wyandotte Klan No. 5. "By Secretary J. U. Ess." The churches visited were Mason Memorial, of which Rev. P. A. Morrow is pastor; First Baptist, Rev. W. A. Bowren, pastor; Mt. Zion, Rev. Moses Williams, pastor; Eighth Street Baptist, Rev. D. B. Jackson, pastor; Pleasant Green, Rev. George McNeal, pastor; St. Peters, C. M. E. Church, Rev. Bowers, pastor; King Solomon, Rev. Clay, pastor; Walnut Boulevard, Rev. Richardson, pastor; and Douglass Hospital, which is Methodist. Some of the ministers used the money for charity, but Rev. J. B. Isaac, treasurer of the Douglass Hospital put his twenty-five dollars in the mail and returned it to the Klar Summing up the matter, the consensus of Kansas City opinion is that the Klan visit reflects the sentiment of the local membership which seeks to attach to itself the good will of colored people despite its constitution and tenents that it is a white man's organization, anti-Negro, anti-Catholic and anti-Jew. According to Solomon J. Plaatze, an editor from South Africa, racial intolerance under the Boers and British is worse than in the southern part of the United States. At a recent race congress held in Washington, Mr. Plaatze made an address which the correspondent of the Kentucky Reporter referred to as an eyeopener. Among other things, the speaker was quoted as saying: "The whites of the southern states who are said to be the worst Negro haters in the world will not permit you to eat in their hotels, but they have no objection to you building your own hotels and eating with your own --- DECLARES AMERICA DENIES NEGRO LEGAL RIGHTS. Arthur B. Spingarn, lawyer of New York City, speaking before the thirteenth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the Robert Treat School, Norfolk street and Thirteenth avenue, Newark, last night, declared that the Negro's legal status had not greatly improved since before the Civil War. He said in part: "In the Dred Scott case, decided in 1856, Chief Justice Taney uttered the dictum that a Negro had no rights which the white man was bound to respect." "How far has the legal status of the Negro progressed during the intervening sixty-six years? "The constitution of the United States has for many years guaranteed to him complete equality before the law, and, theoretically, no discriminatory laws are anywhere on the statute books. In fact, however such laws abound, eg. 'grandfather' laws, segregation laws (now happily declared 11-legal) and 'lim crow' laws. "But such statutes are the least of the Negro's legal grievance. Practically nowhere in the United States has a Negro an equal chance with a white man in a court of law. Even in the most favorable communities a Negro, accused, for example, of ravishing a white girl would receive quite different treatment from a jury than a white man charged with a similar offense against a colored girl. "The situation is, unfortunately, far worse than this; in many sections of the country, in actual practice the Negro has no legal rights; he has only such privileges as those who hold the power and the government choose to grant him; whatever justice he receives is doled out to him, not as a matter of right, but of favor. In such communities, a colored man may kill another member of his own race and if he has a powerful white patron he can escape trial; if the victim of his crime is a white man, his powerful white parton cannot promise him even the formality of a trial; if the victim is colored and the accused white and the killing takes place in the 'black belt,' he must be indeed a pretty 'ornery' white man to have to stand trial. "All racial minorities are discriminated against; the discrimination is limited only by its strength. The Negro is exploited most because he is the poorest, weakest, least organized, in other words, the easiest to exploit. He can hope for more rights only as he acquires power and a voice in the government. He can hope to retain and enjoy the rights he is now supposed to have only if he perfects an organization that can function on behalf of every member of the race. It must be an organization with the confidence and support of the whole race that he can count upon to bring race support for every racial discrimination against any members of the race. "Such an instrument is at hand in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Properly supported, it can in every instance where the Negro faces the law make him as strong as the race itself." people. In South Africa they will not have us in their hotels nor will they permit us to build hotels of our own, and if we want to eat at all we must be satisfied to toil in their kitchens and lick their pans." And this is the sort of civilization that the enlightened Europeans are imposing upon the native Africans in their own land. N. A. A. C. P. HOLDS THIRTEENTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN NEWARK With thirty states, including a dozen states of the South represented, delegates to the thirteenth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People met in Newark, N. J., during the week of June 18-23. The conference was opened with a silent parade through the down-town section of Newark and past the city hall, in front of which a reviewing stand had been erected. One group of young boys carried a banner inscribed: "We Are Fifteen Years Old. A Boy of Our Age Was Roasted Alive Recently." Other banners contained the slogans: "Lynch Law Must Go," and "Pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill." Immediately following the parade, a mass meeting was held in Newark's Armory, where 3,000 members and friends of the association were welcomed in behalf of Governor Edwards of New Jersey by James Baker, chairman of the State Tax Commission; Governor Edwards being unavoidably absent at an encampment of state militia. Moorfield Storey, national president of the N. A. A. C. P. and former president of the American Bar Association delivered an opening address in which he suggested that Negroes in the South might go on strike if necessary, to obtain justice and liberty. Mr. Storey defended the constitutionality of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Monday, June 19. Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey sent the following telegram which was read at the night meeting, definitely committing himself to support and a vote for the Dyer Bill: "I am doing everything I can to have the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill reported by the Senate Committee against determined opposition. I have seen Senator Sterling, a member of the sub-committee, several times and urged him to act immediately. I believe in the legislation and it must and will be enacted. Civilization and humanity demand it. It is justice long delayed. You may count on my continued effort until it is passed." Another visitor and speaker at this session was Robert T. Kerlin, author of "The Voice of the Negro," former professor of English at Virginia Military Institute. Tuesday. June 20—Women's Day. Culminating in the award of the Spingarn Medal to Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, the first woman to receive it and eighth medallist, the night session was devoted to demands for full citizenship rights for colored women. With Mrs. Addie W. Hunton presiding, the following women addressed the conference; Hallie Q. Brown of Ohio, president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs; Ella Rush Murray of New York; Clara L. Laddey of New Jersey, representing the Woman's Peace Party; Mrs. Nathan Kussy, representing the National Council of Jewish Women; Mrs. Florence Halsey, representing the New Jersey league of Women Voters, and Mrs. H. N. Simmons, representing the New Jersey Federation of Women's Clubs. The Spingarn Medal was presented to Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, former president of the National Association of Colored Women, in recognition of her having raised a fund to preserve the NO 37 home of Frederick Douglass as a national memorial.

Davis of the editorial staff, New York Evening Post, urged colored Americans to become acquainted with editors. Nahum D. Brascher of Chicago, president of the Associated Negro Press, told of the work of his organization in news distribution. Representative Dyer's Speech: Representative Dyer was welcomed with cheers in Bethany Baptist Church by an audience crowding the church to the doors. He delivered a stirring address in which he urged upon colored people the following principles: 1. That colored Americans should work together and not fight among themselves. "If there is a pastor of one of your churches who will not work with you and for you," said Representative Dyer, "you ought to turn him out." 2. That the membership of the N. A. A. C. P. should be raised to one million. "You go back," said Mr. Dyer, "and tell the colored people, I said the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is entitled to credit for the passage of the Anti-Lynching Bill in the House of Representatives." Mr. Dyer said that "Those who get up and snort about the unconstitutionality of the bill are those who have prejudice in their hearts. "This is not a race issue. This is a question involving the honor of the Republic. The Senate of the United States is Republican and unless it obeys the mandate to protect human life from mobs, those in control of the Republicans are entitled to and deserve the condemnation of the people of America." At this meeting, T. G. Nutter of the West Virginia Legislature gave a rousing description of the West Virginia Anti-Lynching law and urged colored Americans to organize for the fighting of their own battles. Capt. Arthur B. Spingarn, chairman of the Association's legal committee, then spoke. Thursday, June 22—Boat Ride. Delegates and friends of the N. A. A. C.

The strike made in the Portland mine at the 2,600-foot level is proving as rich as at first stated. Assay tests of the ore return from $92 to $210 to the ton, while selected samples run higher. A north and south crosscut will be made to open the shoot further and establish its size. Cripple Creek.—The rejuvenation of Cripple Creek and Victor, Colo., as big producers in the mining world depends on the size of the ore body struck recently at the 2,600-foot level of the Portland mine of the Portland Gold Mining Company of Cripple Creek city, according to mine officials. The ore was struck on a cross-cut off of the 2,600 station and is said to be of good commercial value, assaying $6.75 a ton. Denver.—Articles of incorporation for the Western Slope Shale Oil and Products Company, a $1,000,000 organization, were filed with Secretary of State Milliken recently. Principal offices of the company will be maintained in Denver. The business of the company will be confined principally to Garfield, Mesa and Rio Blanco counties. The three incorporators are Charles W. Clogston, Crawford McLaughlin and C. A. Tygart. Hot Sulphur Springs.—Commissioners of nine counties met at Hot Sulphur Springs and Kremmling recently to discuss a proposed $6,000,000 highway bond issue. The commissioners were unanimous in favoring the issue and passed a resolution urging it. It was explained that the amount will not be obtained through a direct tax upon the people, but it will be paid out in nineteen years by the state motor vehicle tariff, and thus, motorists who enjoy the roads, will in that length of time pay for them. Cripple Creek.—Roy Bourquin, 34 years old, was convicted of criminal assault in the District Court at Cripple Creek, the jury being out fifteen minutes. Judge Arthur Cornforth sentenced Bourquin to the state penitentiary for from twenty years to life. The verdict was returned at 5 o'clock and at 6 o'clock Sheriff Von Phil left for Cañon City with his prisoner. Denver.—A rich silver strike has been made by the Sweet Home Gold and Silver Mining and Milling Company on Mount Bross, near Alma, in Park county, according to an announcement by officials of the company. Pueblo.—A large forest fire in the San Isabel forest near Cañon City has been reported to A. G. Hamel, supervisor of the forest. The meager reports received so far is that the blaze is sweeping up the slopes of Verden mountain and covering a wide territory. Pueblo.—A fortune of $250,000 is awaiting Charles H. Carpenter, one time employé of the Congress hotel in Pueblo, whose whereabouts are not known. Relations have appealed to police to locate the man, who is to inherit the money from an aunt.

MIGHT PROPERLY CALL IT ihe eee Expert Suggests Steps We Should Take to Carry Out Our Announced Policy of Equality of Opportunity and the Open Door. Se mvs ee ae Caen Washington.—W. S. Culbertson of the tariff commission, expresses the view that there should be an interna- tional conference on the tariff, The Present tendency, he points out, 1s to udopt the bargaining methods—each nation proceeding on its own hook, so to speak, “Systems of discriminations, espe- clally between colonies and mother countries, Involve large political as well as economic questions and should preferably be considered in an inter, national conference,” said Mr. Cul- bertson, “The object of such a con- ference should be the fullest consid- eration of the advantages which would accrue to all nations from the appll- cation of principle of equality of treat- ment and the open door to all colonial possessions and dominions as well as to nations. Such a conference might properly be called by the United States.” Three Steps Advised. Mr. Culbertson suggests that “to car ry out further our announced policy of equality of opportunity and the ‘open door in commercial relations,” the following steps are desirable: “1 In revising old and negotiating new commercial treaties, we should adopt the unconditional form and in- terpretation of the most-fayored na- tion clause. We would thereby estab- Ush a basis on which to insist upon equality of treatment in the markets of foreign nations and by which con- cessions in our tariff that may be granted through negotiations will au- tomatically be extended to other na- tions and discriminations be effectively prevented. “2. If this treaty policy is adopted, we can then properly adopt the sup- plemental policy of negotiating for the minimum rates granted by foreign countries by granting such reductions in our tariff schedules as may be au- thorized by the congress for the pur- pose of promoting our foreign trade. “3, .AS a supplement to this conces- sional method, or independent of it, we should pluce in the hands of the President the power to penalize dis- criminations against our overseas commerce. Additional duties —_ap- plied at the diseretion of the President and in a degree to fit ench case will remove many discriminations, open or concealed, which could not so easily be reached by the slower method of negotiating general tariff treaties. “Tariffs are becoming of greater and greater Importance in international re- lations,” continued Mr, Culbertson. “hey have been employed for the purposes of fostering domestic indus- try and of raising revenue. But in addition to these Industrial and fiscal uses, tariffs are used for the purpose of determining with what countries trade shal! be increased ard with which it shall be diminished. ven more important In International rela- tions than the height of tariffs has become the practice of preference in tariffs, ‘Tariffs have thus come to have international political aspects a5 well ,as domestic economle effects. Methods of Negotiating. “In the United States this foreign aspect of the tari has, at least until recently, been regarded as lucideuutl and bus been taken up uure or less nus an afterthought, “Puri! negotiations uny be carried on by two general methods: “a, By the concessional terhod, that is, by establishing by lesisiitive enactment 4 level of duties and wen, by means of treaty nexotiutions with foreign countries, conceding redue- tions either to tutes previously fixed by hu or to points agreed upon dur- ing negotiations. “Bp, By the penalty method, that ts by imposing udditionnt duties on the imports from a foreixn country in or- der to obtain from that foreign coun try a more advantageous position in its markets. “The concessional method is typified by the mashnun aod minimum and by the general und conventional tariff systems of Buropean countries and 62 Jupan, The same principle is involved in the genera} end intermediate sched- ules of Canada, Australia, and New Zealund. “The reciprocity polley pursued by the United States uuder sections 3 and 4 of the Dingley tariff act (1897) —one of the early attempts in the United States to adopt a general reciprocity policy. was In the nature of au appli- cation of the concessional method, ‘The pending .ariff bill as It passed the house of representatives proposed to restore this method of negotiation with foreign countries, but the com- mittee on finance declined to indorse iu” Policy on Trusts Awaited.

It is true that the Department of Justice is making Ine quiries for the purpose of satisfying Itself that the antl-trust law 1s not being flagrantly violated, and that the federal trade commission is keeping a watchful eye on the proceedings sq as to be sure that fair competition is not stifled. The congress {s passing the usual number of resolutions of inquiry, but not much attention fa being paid to its activity in connec- tion with the consolidation. What the country would like to know and what it probably will learn in due time is whether the Harding admin- istration ts disposed to hold a Uberal view in regard to the organization of trusts, so called. Especially Wants Business Progress. The administration has made no secret of the fact that above all else it desires to see business go ahead In the United States and also through ‘out the world. If the ruling minds in ‘the administration can be convinced that prosperity will be advanced ‘through the consolidation of nctivi- tles, It Is reasonable to assume that the government will not put any seri- ous obstacles in the way of the finan- clers who are interested In the vari- ous combinations that are taking place. It is reasonable to assume also that the administration has already given the men who are behind the ¢ombinations some intimation as to how it feels on the subject. Some well-informed men here be- lieve public sentiment has undergone a radical change in its attitude toward great combinations of capital. ‘The World war, it is asserted, is respon- sible for this changed view.

Attorney General Daugherty now has a special fund of $500,000 at his command which he is prive Heged to use as he sees fit in the prosecution of alleged war profiteers; he has a special grand Jury in the Dis- trict of Columbia to serve him, and he has an array of twelve or fifteen special prosecutors, some of them dis- tinguished while others are not very well known, Certainly if there are men who deserve to xo to prison be- cause of frauds committed during the war or during the pendency of the armistice agreement, the government ought to be able, with the machinery it hus set up, to put them where they. belong. The public, it is reasonable to as- sume, looks with favor on the turn things have taken here in regard to alleged frauds committed during the war, It should be determined once and for all whether crooks in high pluces or In low places robbed the government during the war. The tall to the effect that there was much looting has gone on spasmodically since April, 1917. The strange thing is that the whole truth was not Drought out long ago. What Congressional Probers Found. ‘The house of representatives of the congress which preceded the present one, that is to say the Sixty-sixth con- gress, through a special committee of, fifteen, ten Republicans and five Dem- oerats, under the direction of Repre- sentative William J, Graham of MU- nois, spent more thin a year Investl wating the conduct of the war with the view to ascertaining whether there were frauds which would war- rant prosecutions by the government. This select committee spent a total of SH7.27S in making inquiries both in this country and in France, While It wis at work, the senate conducted eight war investigations in all, and spent a totil of 875.497, ‘Thus the Sisty-sixth congress invested a total of S22775 in investigutions of the conduct of the war.

WANT ALL CITIZENS TO SIGN PETITIONS FOR AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION. WOULD ALLOW LEGISLATURE TO ENACT A STATE TAX ON INCOMES. ‘Sign up and dit now!” ‘That is the appeal of the Colorado State Tax Revision committee to all citizens of the state desirous of ob- taining a more equal distribution of state tax burdens. It refers to the proposed amend- ment to the state constitution which “would authorize the State Legislature to exempt intungible property from taxation and to enact, in the place thereof, a state income tax law. Pe- Uitions for the proposed amendment ure now being circulated in every county through members of the tax re- vision committee, county officials and others. The time to obtain the necessary signatures, however, is short. Almost 24,000 citizens will have to sign their numes to the petitions in time for their presentation to Secretary of Stute Carl Milliken on July 6. There fore the request, “Do it now!” Every effort must be made by all interested persons, suys the tax revi- sion committee, if the measure is to be voted upon by the people at the No- vember election. Otherwise there will be u two-year delay before Colorado can take any step toward remedy of taxation evils. Because the time is so short the committee has been unable to conduct a publicity campaign to acquaint the people generally with the object of the proposed amendment, although the Farmers’ Graoge. civic organizations and other bodies have been stuaying the taxation problems for some time. In brief, the propesed amendment follows suggestion first publicly made last spring by Prof. Herbert S. Hadley of the University of Colorado, who was formerly governor of Mis- sourl, and under whose administration there a state income tax was put Into force, It is intended to meet one of the ‘dest and hardest problems that all tax officials have had to face, the tax- ation of “unseen” or Intangible prop- erty. ‘This consists of credits, notes, money in the bank and similar prop: erty which the taxing officials can not reach or find out about, Millions of dollars of such property go untaxed in Colorado every year. Persons fu- miliar with taxation difficulties _re- wird attempts to assess intangible property as practically impossible. If adopted, the proposed amend- ment would allow the Legislature to do away with the fruitless efforts to tax Intangible property and to pass a law enacting a state tax on incomes instead, the taxes on the incomes of various sizes to be fixed by the Legis- lature finds wise, Thus the people's representatives themselves would de- termine what the income taxation should be. By this means, it Is believed, the taxation burdens would be more equalized. At present lands and per- sonal property pay about 90 per cent of the taxes of the state.

The Emancipation Proclamation beholding character in American history will be found directly true we know spell our country's very greatness. We now enjoy the inestimable reception of right, and yet whose every special blood of devoted patriots of the land was too monumental nor death and the God, for an enduring government of celebration belongs to all our memory. There are times of interest because us to wonder whether we are of peace and national honor since we are times when we are paid not as sacredly safeguarded in inherently ours. However, love of nations, its flag and institutions thus approach of each Fourth of July. Outset, the annual patriotic observance of many of the features that of ancient vintage and giant creature looked upon as a necessary along less dangerous but equal to the hills, a haven in the mountains and one finds renewed health and ample fishing tackle we hike streams or crystal lake in every part. Independence Day means a tourist where one can loaf or play illimitable, and where one can lie only of a day well spent. FOURTH OF JULY celebrations of today are much lacking in the spread-eagle eaglebast and noise that marked the historic Independence Day years eagle bombast and noise that marked the historic Independence Day years ago. Modernity has decreed that we gradually but surely move toward a safe and sane celebration of the day rendered historic by the fathers in a declaration that severed the tie that bound us to a British yoke. Looking back o'er the stretch of years since the issuance of that immortal document, the Declaration of Independence, we find that no nation on earth had its course and destiny so completely marked out by a single state paper as have these United States. From its immortal spirit was born the Constitution, from its high conception the Emancipation Proclamation became possible. Whatever there is of an enobling character in American history, whatever there be that is worthy of preservation will be found directly traceable to those priceless principles which we know spell our country's very existence and from which strong our present greatness. We as a people are today enjoying the inestinable blessings of a nation born of a worthy conception of right, and yet whose every progress has been baptized in the sacrificial blood of devoted patriots of every race. None has regarded any sacrifice as too monumental nor death and suffering as a price too great to pay, before God, for an enduring government. Properly, then, the Fourth of July as a day of celebration belongs to all of us; it is our common heritage of blessed memory. There are times of internal upheaval and conflict that occasionally cause us to wonder whether we are not breaking away from the safe moorings of peace and national honor so devoutly vouchsafed by our fathers. There are times when we are painfully impressed that American citizenship is not as sacredly safeguarded in many of its rights as we believe should be inherently ours. However, love of country and reverence for our country's traditions, its flag and institutions transcends our plaintive cry, and upon the yearly approach of each Fourth of July our enthusiasm knows no bounds. As stated in the outset, the annual patriotic observance of Independence Day is now properly shorn of many of the features that made it tragic some years ago. Firearms of ancient vintage and giant crackers often imperiling life and limb, are no longer looked upon as a necessary means of celebrating. Our patriotism flows along less dangerous but equally as fervent grounds. We of Colorado look to the hills, a haven in the mountains, where business and cares are forgotten and one finds renewed health and vigor. With well-laden lunch baskets and ample fishing tackle we hike over woodland trails and alongside rushing streams or crystal lake in every kind of clean and healthful outdoor sport. Independence Day means a great deal to a Coloradoan and to visiting tourist where one can loaf or play in ideal environment with recreation spots illimitable, and where one can lie down at night to pleasant dreams, conscious only of a day well spent.

But on the other foot. For years the mob spirit in America, un- so all classes of citizens and woe we were laughed to scorn and delens. However, it is the white pith with a loudness of voice far excay our own Denver Times view GEOGRAPHICALLY there is a considerable distance between Kirwin, Texas, and Herrin, Illinois, but in point of atrocious criminality they are not so far apart. In the month of May, Kirwin offers the ghastly spectacle of burning and torturing accused Negroes by the wholesale, while hundreds of mob participants rejoice exultantly as their victims withered in agony over a slow fire. In the month of June, Herrin comes forward with a tragedy that fairly staggers our belief. And in vicious keeping with the parallel already offered, the hundreds of mob participants were no more merciful toward their helpless victims than were those at Kirwin, though in the latter instance all of those slaughtered were white. However, here is our point. The country has grown so familiar with mob outbreaks against Negroes for even the most trivial offenses that the editorial pages of our great dailies seldom give the matter any mention. But note the difference when the shoe is put on the other foot. For years the Negro press has openly contended that the mob spirit in America, unless checked, would in time extend its fury to all classes of citizens and would be no respecter of race or color. Often we were laughed to scorn and not even a respectable hearing given to our pleas. However, it is the white press that is now pleading and is doing so with a loudness of voice far excelling our most frantic efforts. This is the way our own Denver Times views the situation: MAKE THE LAW SUPREME. lands aghast at the atrocities comman- k to unparalleled depths in the a and women who exulted in the b attack on the Lester strip mi- vidences of violence and beat pastime. need to their captors and were dri- and tortured without a show of water in their death agonies, raise our hands in holy horro- red, massacres in Armenia and state of Illinois nor the United ourages to go unpunished.

And still we raise our hands in holy horror at the news of pogroms in Poland, massacres in Armenia and street battles in Belfast! Neither the state of Illinois nor the United States of America can permit these outrages to go unpunished. The issue at stake is far greater than any involved in a struggle for industrial supremacy. It is the issue of the supremacy of the law and the constitution. Apologists will be found for the murderers. Wrongs committed by their opponents will be cited as extenuating circumstances for one of the faintest chapters in the history of industrial conflict in America. But every self-respecting citizen, every self-respecting member of a labor union, knows in his heart that there is no justification for the barbarities committed at Herrin. Mob spirit rose triumphant over reason and decency. Men saw red and in their state of infuriated passion not only committed unbelievable acts of savagery, but stained the cause of union labor with a blot that can never be removed. The Times speaks truly and in our own language, for this same editorial could have been written on the Kirwin massacre. But it was not, however, and we surmise it is only because the shoe now pinches the other foot that brings it forth at this time. The nation should stand aghast at atrocities of this character no matter where and against whom committed. Let our great daily papers throw the weight of their influence behind the Dyer-anti-lynching bill and a long step will be taken toward MAKING THE LAW SUPREME. Negroes Get Half Royalty Of Photo Play Paris.—The heirs of Auguste Maquet are entitled to half the royalties that have accumulated since 1908 on "The Three Musketeers" and other works written in collaboration with Alexander Dumas. This was decided today by the court which has been hearing the suit brought by Mme Rolffe, widow of the nephew of Maquet. Since during his lifetime Maquet waived the right to sign works written with Dumas, their publication may continue over Dumas' sole signature; it was ruled. Experts are to be appointed to calculate the amount due the heirs. The fact that the famous French novelist had a historical writer as a collaborator was established in 1848 when a suit was brought to recover his rights. It appears that Maquet sold his rights in 1846 to Dumas for the sum of 145,000 francs, but as Dumas, on account of the collapse of the Historical Theater, was only able to pay part of the money. WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA, NEWS. "The Second Baptist Church closed their weeks program Sunday night, June 18th, known as the Kingdom Conference. This was one of the most enthusiastic and interesting programs of its kind that has ever been put on in the history of the church. It was the largest attended by both white and colored from the beginning to the end. Pastor Muse, in putting on this program, said "that he wanted to raise $500." The members of the church were divided into two clubs. Captains were: S. A. McCarthy and Ben Padmore. Both young men are last year's converts. These men, with their clubs, were alotted $250 each. We are very pleased to report, that each captain with his club, went over the top. McCarthy and his club, $258.51; Padmore, with his club, $287.45. Total, $545.96 The pastor, while smiling over the success of his program, said: "We have a faithful few of both women and men that we can depend upon and that are always willing to do their best, and we are very proud of them." Rev, and Mrs. Muse are now in their third year of pastorate in Woodland, and they are well liked by both white and colored and the church holds them in high esteem and much regard for them.

Adams, the Virgin Island bandmaster who wears the chevrons as the only man of color holding down such a position in Uncle Sam's navy, left this country for his station in the Islands on Saturday. Before leaving Adams told reporters that he was delighted with his visit and plans to return here sometime in the near future. He thinks that some of our jazz artists could profit more by injecting a little more sentiment into their activities instead of always bowing to the commercial end. "By this I do not mean that they should not get all they can for their work when higher ideals would have a tendency to place the race on a higher plane." Mr. Adams' compositions are being played by the leading bands of the country, which includes Sousa, Pryor, the U. S. Marine Band and a host of others. That he is a musician goes without saying, for the leading white musicians here forgot his color and made his stay one of the most pleasant ever experienced by a man of color. $150,000 Sanitorium Hôt Springs, Ark., June 22.—This community is singing the praises of John L. Webb, supreme head of the Woodmen of the Union, which organization has just completed a $150,000 sanitarium, which is not only a credit to the community and organization but to the entire race throughout the country. Mr. Webb is another one of those "self-made men." He is a product of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and a native of that state. Mr. Webb is an executive of rare ability and unassuming but determined in his manner. He is a member of the Baptist church and takes an interest in all matters of racial uplift. He takes especial interest in boys and their welfare. The Woodmen of the Union is regarded as one of the most substantial fraternal organizations in the country. It is the strongest in the states of the Middle Southwest, but is steadily branching out. During a recent visit to Chicago Mr. Webb seriously considered arrangements for eventually building an office structure in the Windy City.

A. are putting the finishing touches on their plans for the carrying out of the same program at the Rocky Mountain Lake on Tuesday next, July Fourth, and feel confident that, given good weather, the program will be a mammoth success.

The body of George S. Contee, pioneer Denver citizen and prominent fraternal man, who passed away Thursday, June 22, at 1:15 p. m., lay in state at his late residence, 2458 Lafayette street, from noon on Monday last to 10 p. m., during which time hundreds of sorrowing friends called to pay their last respects to the fallen patriarch who had taken such a leading part in Denver affairs for so many years. At 7:30 p. m. the members of Rocky Mountain Lodge, G. U. O. of O. F., assembled at the residence and went through their burial ceremony in a most solemn and impressive manner. The funeral service proper was held at the Church of the Redeemer Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. On this occasion Rocky Mountain Lodge No. 1, F. and A. M., and members of the Knight Templar Commandery turned out in large numbers. The high requiem mass was sung by Fr. H. E. Rahming, assisted by Fr. Stanley as deacon and Fr. Austin as sub-deacon. This is an unusually rare service and rendered only in honor of one who has given distinguished service to the Episcopal. The many who witnessed the service of Tuesday morning declare it to have been the most beautifully impressive service ever conducted in Denver of any race or denomination. Mr. John Clark Mitchell and Mr. Harry C. James, president and vice president, respectively, of the Denver National Bank, were present and were visibly affected over the loss of one who had served them so faithfully and long. The floral offerings were exceptionally profuse and beautiful, the massive metallic casket resting easily in a perfect bed of flowers during the hours the body lay in state. The burial service at Fairmount was conducted with solemn Masonic rites, and with a most appropriate eulogy by Mr. J. W. Hudston, trust officer of the Denver National Bank. Miss Ollie Contee, a sister, came from Washington to attend the funeral. THE COLORADO STATESMAN joins with thousands of Denver citizens of both races in its offerings of sympathy to the bereaved ones. CARD OF THANKS. Mrs. George S. Contee and the family of Mrs. Laura V.

INDEPENDENCE DAY-1922 IN FLANDERS FIELDS Photo by Underwood & Underwood THE FLAG GOES BY Hats off! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums, A flash of color beneath the sky: Hats off! The Flag is passing by! Blue and white and crimson it shines Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines. MARINES IN THE WILDERNESS © Harris & Ewing Blue and white and crimson it shines Over the steel-tipped, ordeved lines. Hats off! The Colors before us fly; But more than the Flag is passing by! Sea-fights and land-fights, grim and great; Fought to make and to save the State; Weary marches and sinking ships; Cheers of victory on dying lips; Days of plenty and years of peace; March of a strong land's swift increase; Equal justice, right and law; Stately honor and reverend awe; Sign of a nation, great and strong; To ward her people from foreign wrong; Pride and glory and honor—all Live in the Colors to stand or fall. Hats off! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums; And loyal hearts are beating high; Hats off! The Flag is passing by! By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN NDEPENDENCE DAY is the American holiday devoted to the celebration of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Of course. But that was nearly 150 years ago. Since then we have had five wars. Since then we grown from a nation of about three millions to a nation of about 120 millions. So the American people may fity celebrate more on the Fourth of July than the Declaration of Independence. I served in this year of A. D. 1922 in a multitude of ways, some good, some bad, some indifferent—necessarily so in a country so big, with so vast a melting-pot population. We Americans have an attractive list of holidays. Christians, New Year's and Easter we share with all mankind. Thanksgiving Day, Mother's Day and Arbor Day are our own. So are Washington's Birthday and Lincoln's Birthday and Flag Day. Memorial Day is the day the nation grieves over its soldier dead and pays tribute to its fighting heroes at their last resting place. The Fourth of July should be different from all our other national holidays. It should have something of Washington and Lincoln's Birthdays in it, much of Thanksgiving Day and more of Flag Day. The Fourth of July should be most of all, as many good Americans see it, a day of nation worship, unstinted and unshamed. The Government of the United States of America secured its existence through war. Every generation of Americans has had its war. As one generation of fighting heroes passes away another rises to take its place. Some have gone, others are going, all will go. None should be forgotten, for their deeds are the basis of the tradition around which our nationalism is built. The heritage of the next generation has been made possible by their heroism. There are those Americans who profess to see in the American nation a peace-loving people, slow to wrath and averse to war. It is true that we are slow to take up arms. This is because war with us is a war, not of a professional army, but of the people. Our people go slow to war because they will not fight unless the provocation is great and the cause is just. But those who believe America is not a fighting nation are utterly and entirely wrong. We are not afraid to fight. We know how to fight. As a matter of exact fact we are the most warlike people on earth. When America goes to war the national heart goes with her soldiers. We are the most desperate in battle. The Flag has waved over our battle-fields for a century and a half. Never has it trailed in defeat. All of America's wars have been in the cause of humanity. America has cause to blush for none, to apologize for none, to feel regret for none. So why should not the Fourth of July be in part devoted to nation-worship and to remembrance of the deeds of the heroes who kept the Flag victorious from the Philippines to France! In an appreciation of our national history it is not necessary to acclaim war or to deify the fighting man. Hand in hand with appreciation of America's valor in war go an appreciation of the evils of war and an appreciation of the lessons of war. The Fourth of July is surely the day of days on which to salute the Flag, remember the heroes who have died for it, applaud the living who have fought for it and declare again, with the poet: In spite of rock and tempest's roar, In spite of false lights on the shore, Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea; Our hearts and hearts are all with thees; Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith triumphant o'er our fears, Are all with these, and all with thee. So first a thought of reverent praise for the five immortals who drew up the Declaration of Independence—Jefferson, John Adams, Franklin, Sherman and Livingston. And then a thought of the many heroes of 76, from the villagers who fired the first shot at Concord to Washington, the leader of our armies, not forgetting such leaders as Marlon and Wayne and Stark and John Paul Jones, or such patriots as the three militiamen whom Major Andre's gold could not corrupt; Hale, the martyr, and Molly Pitcher, the heroine of Monmouth. Next, remembrance for Hull, Brainbridge and Decatur and the Constitution and United States—they beat the "Mistress of the Seas" at her own game, put the American navy on the Seven Seas and kept the Flag flying. The War of 1812 was won on the ocean. And don't forget Jackson at New Orleans—he won for the United States the mouth of the Mississippi. None of the 1812 heroes is now alive; 49 of their widows still live. In 1846 once more the bugle blares and the drum beats—this time against Mexico. Have a thought for Scott and Taylor—and Kearney and the heroes who fought their way from Vera Cruz to Chapultepec. Of these heroes 73 still live. All honor to them! The foe himself recoiled aghast. When, striking where he strongest lay, We swooped his flanking battles past, And braving the mistletoe blast. Sparred home the towers of Monterey. We were not many—we who pressed. But who of us have not confessed. Beside the brave who fell that day; He'd rather share their warrior rest. Than not have been at Monterey? And then came real fighting—American against American! Christendom stood astounded at the vigor of the struggle and the spirit of the combatants. But that is over now. No more shall the war cry sever, Or the winding rivers be red; They banish our anger forever When they laurel the graves of our dead: Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Love and tears for the Blue, Tears and love for the Gray. A statue of Stonewall Jackson was recently unveiled at Charlottesville, Va. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, the orator of the day, said in part: "A nation torn by fratricidal strife, when reunited, is, like welded iron, given increased strength and durability. "From the gulf that separated the sections in sixty-one has come an understanding making for the progress of each and the common welfare of both. This could not have been but for the courage, conviction, and ideals of a whole people. "The sharp battles revealed in its leaders military genius unsurpassed, and in its men and women courage and 'fortitude that reflected credit on both sections and left a priceless legacy to a great and united country. "The men who filled the ranks of the northern armies were prompted by a conception of duty no greater than those who fought under the Stars and Bars. Glorious victories or crushing defeats dim not the bravery and sacrifice of either. When we view those four years of titanic struggle in the light of the present day, either through northern or southern eyes, there is so much glory reflected from both that each merits the greatest praise and has won imperishable renown. It has been the record of these gallant heroes that has inspired and led our sons to victory in every war in which this country has since engaged. "At San Juan Hill the boys from the South, under Wheeler, charged with those from the North under Roosevelt. On the cactus plains of Mexico the lads in khaki from Virginia marched by the side of those from Vermont. At Belleau Wood, Chateau-Thierry, and Argonne, when civilization trembled in the scales the brave boys from every part of this land, under the folds of the Stars and Stripes and to the tunes of "Dixie" and "Yankee Doodle Dundy," followed Pershing for humanity and their country. And today, it matters not in which war they were engaged, the names of northern and southern heroes illumine the pages of history and are enshrined in the hearts of a common country. The Blue and the Gray, In fierce array, No local hates dissever, Strike hands once more From shore to shore, The North and South forever. "The stirring sentiment that prompted a few weeks ago those brave marines encamped on the historic fields of the Battle of the Wilderness, who discovered the little graveyard covered with weeds and briars, with inclusure down, in which, among unmarked graves, was buried the arm of that gallant hero to whom we today pay tribute, is inspiring. These boys from every part of the country wearing the uniform of the American fighting man, sworn to defend the Flag of a common country, and ready to give their lives for its protection, went immediately to work, cleared the graves, resurrected the fence, and clothed the surroundings with an air of attention and care. It was the American spirit, the spirit of the present-day American soldier, whose heart was thrilled, whose soul was touched, and whose patriotism was aroused when he saw that in this modest way he could pay tribute even to the arm of as true a soldier and as daring a leader as ever marched to the tune of martial air." The Spanish-American war, though a little war in comparison with the Civil war and the World war, was an important war. It was won by volunteers. It was marked by valor and efficiency on land and sea—at Las Guasimas, San Juan Hill and El Caney, at Santiago and at Manila Bay. It hastened the day or complete reconciliation between the North and the South. It gave us a realization of our vast resources and man power, and it made us a World Power over night. And surely we can Fourth-of-July over the record of our fighting men in the World war. No need to call the call of heroes, either; or to ask "who won the war?" Oh, the English and the Irish, and the 'owlin' Scotties, too. The Canucks and Austrille-uns, and the 'airy French pollu; The only things that bothered us, a year before we knew. Was 'ow in 'ell the Yanks'd look, an' wot in 'ell they'd do. My word, it 'appened sudden 'wen the drive 'ad first begun; We seen the Yanks a-runnin'—Gaw Blimy, how they run! But the only thing that bothered us that seen the dice begin 'aw in 'sll to stop 'em 'fore they got into Berlin.

(Prepared by the United States Department | can be picked off, and the sea Among the household crafts which are well worth developing is the art of repairing china. In other words, if you are unfortunate enough to break your favorite pitcher or one of great grandmother's plates, don't fail to pick up the pieces, for the office of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture has found out how you may put them together again. Obviously the first difficulty is to get a cement which will be permanent enough to stand washing and reasonably careful handling and which will not be affected by climatic conditions. The Department of Agriculture, after comparative tests, recommends what is known as "grandmother's white lead" process. Cementing Material. The cementing material in this case is white lead such as is used by artists working with oil paints. It may be rubbed with the finger on the raw edges of the dish and the piece which is to be cemented into place, but before the white lead cement is applied, it is well to rub down the edges a very little with emery paper to make room for the thin layer of white lead, so that the dish when completed will not be distorted in shape. Care should be taken not to use too much white lead. Melted sealing wax is dropped here and there on each side of the seam to hold the piece firmly in place so that it will not slip out of place. If the dish is broken in several pieces, one piece after another can be added in the same way. The dish should then be set away and left for eighteen months or two years to give the white lead time to harden thoroughly. At the end of that time the sealing wax PEPPERS MAKE TASTY DISHES FOR WINTER Sauces and Relishes Are Better for the Addition. Flavor as Well as Garnish Various Salads, Whether Vegetable, Fruit or Meat-Three Recipes Recommended. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) Both green and red sweet peppers add zest and pungency to other dishes. It is worth while to put some up for winter use, either for pickle combinations or alone. Chutneys, chile sauces, and other relishes are better for the addition of peppers. Fresh sliced sweet peppers and canned pimentos flavor as well as garnish most salads, whether vegetable, fruit, cheese, or meat. The United States Department of Agriculture recommends the following recipes in which peppers are used: Stuffed Baked Peppers. 1 minced cold 1 table spoonful chopped bacon chopped onion. 1 d chicken. ½ teaspoonful pe- p. 1 cup chicken 1 cup cold chopped chicken or cold chicken 1 table spoon chopped parley 1 cupful roasted bread 1 cupful cooked rice chopped parsley. 1 cupful tomatoes 1 cupful toasted cut into cubes. bread crumbs or Salt to taste. cooked rice. Other cold meats may be ground, seasoned, and mixed with an equal quantity of bread crumbs or cooked rice, moistened with a slightly beaten egg, cream, or tomato, and substituted for either of the fillings. Take six whole medium-sized fresh green peppers or canned whole pimentos. If fresh peppers are used, slice a round off the top, remove seeds, and save the top to replace. Soak in cold water (two tablespoonfuls salt to one quart water) for half an hour; rinse in clear, cold water. Drain, press in the filling, replace the top, and fasten it in place with wooden toothpicks. Put the stuffed peppers in a baking pan, pouring around them enough water to cover the bottom of the pan one-half inch. Bake in a medium hot oven for 20 to 30 minutes. When canned pimentos are used, remove from cans, discard liquor, and allow the pimentos to stand in a bowl for about 15 minutes to aerate before using, thus giving them a better flavor. Stuff as for green peppers and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Instead of actually stuffing the peppers, some cooks like to chop them up and mix them with the stuffing in a can be picked off, and the seams carefully scraped to remove any excess of white lead. The old way was to tie the mended article together before putting it away to dry, but this is not easy to do. If the above directions are carefully followed, a fairly permanent cement is obtained, and the dish may be considered once more as a useful member of cupboard society. Riveting Requires Skill. Professional china menders use rivets of silver or copper wire in addition to a cementing process. This riveting requires special equipment and special skill and is beyond the average housekeeper. Nevertheless, it is well for her to know that such work can be done if the dish is valuable and worth putting into the hands of a skilled workman. An expert in this business can often supply missing pieces, with the design restored if need be, and glazed to appear practically the same as the original. The home worker can supply missing pieces with fair success if they are not too large. For this, plaster-of-paris is worked up with a good quality of liquid glue or other kinds of liquid cement until the mass is as stiff as putty. Work some of the material into the space to be filled, mold into place and rub with a wet finger tip until smooth. The material used acts as its own cement. When the plaster-of-paris piece is perfectly dry, it may be tinted with artists' oil paints to look like the rest of the dish, and with a little care any interrupted design may be continued or replaced. Over such painting as this, when it has thoroughly dried, it is well to apply a coat of light-colored waterproof varnish or enamel. baking dish which is then sprinkled with crumbs and browned in the oven. The dish is tasty and unusual, even when the meat is omitted. Individual earthenware ramekins may be filled with the mixture in the same way. Creole Chicken or Jambolaya. 1 medium - sized ¼ cupful chopped fowl. onion. 2 cupfuls tomato. ½ cupful rice. 1 cupful okra. 1 teaspoonful rice. 1 cupful chopped 1 cupful boiling was sweet peppers. ter. 1 tablespoonful fat. Dress the fowl and cut into joints. Melt the fat, add onion and pepper. Cook for a few minutes to develop flavor. Then add salt, tomato and okra, and simmer for ten minutes. Place layers of the chicken, vegetable mixture, and rice in cooking vessel until all is used. Pour over this one cupful boiling water. Simmer for one-half hour and put in fireless cooker for three hours without the hot disk, or two hours with it. Additional seasoning of ham or bacon, parsley and bay leaf, may be used. Spanish Soup. 4 tablespoonfuls 4 tablespoonfuls flour. butter. 4 t a b l e spoonfuls flour. 4 table spoonfuls green pepper (chopped). 8 pints stock. 1 quart tomatoes (canned or stewed.) ½ tablespoonful salt. ½ teaspoonful pepper. 4 table spoonfuls red pepper (chopped) ½ medium - sized onion (chopped) ¼ onion cooked macaroni ½ teaspoonful vine- ½ medium - sized gar. onion (chapped). 1 bay leaf. ¼ pound cooked macaroni. Cook chopped peppers and onion in the butter for five minutes; add flour, heated stock, and strained tomatoes; strain, season, add cooked macaroni, and just before serving add the vinegar. The peppers and onions may be minced by putting them through a meat grinder. OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE For sting of any kind apply common bluing. A letter sealed with the white of an egg cannot be steamed open. Instead of hemming a silence cloth, buttonhole it. A hem makes a ridge. Use one-half as much cornstarch as you would of flour for thickening. When cream is too thin to whip the unbeaten white of an egg can be used and will overcome the trouble.

FOOD FOR THE FAMILY If one desires a good fruit cake which may be kept for months to be at hand for any emergency try this: Take one pound each of butter, light brown sugar, sultana raisins, seeded raisins, two pounds of currants, one pound each of citron blanched and sliced almonds, one pound of Take one pound each of butter, light brown sugar, sultana' raisins, seeded raisins, two pounds of currants, one pound each of citron blanched and sliced almonds, one pound of candied pineapple, two tablespoonfuls of mo- lasses, the grated rind and juice of an orange and one cupful of grape juice, ten large eggs, one pound of flour, one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of soda, two teaspoonfuls of mace, one teaspoonful of nutmeg, one teaspoonful of allspice, two teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful of cloves and one pound of candied cherries. First prepare the fruit, cutting the citron and pineapple into small pieces. Leave the cherries whole. Wash and dry the currants. Do this several days before the cake is to be made so that they will be thoroughly dry. Blanch and slice the almonds. Prepare the seeded raisins by pouring boiling water over them and allowing them to drain. Tear into small pieces or cut with scissors. Clean the currants by placing them in a colander, sifting well with flour and rubbing it carefully in. Then rinse in pan of cold water until the water comes clear. Dry them in a cool oven or in the sun. There will be small stones to remove. Prepare the cake as usual. Line a cake pan with three thicknesses of paper, cut to fit the bottom and sides. Grease the paper with unsalted fat and fill the pans. Let stand two hours before baking. This ripens it. It is better to steam it five hours and bake one hour. Test it to see if sufficiently baked by pressing with the finger, if it goes back into place the baking is completed. Slip out of the pan to cool on a cake rack or supported on some dish to cool all around in a current of air. Cover with powdered sugar icing made with sugar and milk, then in a day of two cover with Royal icing prepared from egg white, one cupful of powdered sugar and a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Spinach, India Style.—Cook together one tablespoonful of fat and two tablespoonfuls of flour, add one cupful of milk, one-half teaspoonful of curry, one-eighth of a teaspoonful of pepper to the white sauce. Arrange two cupfuls of hot cooked spinach in a serving dish, place sliced hard cooked eggs on top and pour the sauce around the spinach and serve. A home based on right principles will be simple. No ostentation or living beyond one's means; simplicity in entertainment, in offering freely of what one has to friends, without apology or explanation. OUT OF THE OVEN Was there ever a child that did not like cookies? The following recipe for hermits will be one to use often. Hermits — To one cupful of thick sour cream add two cupfuls of brown sugar one cupful of chopped potatoes Hermits - To one cupful of thick sour cream add two cupfuls of brown sugar. one cupful of chopped raisins, two-thirds of a cupful of butter, two well-beaten eggs, one teaspoonful each of soda, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, with flour to make a dough as stiff as can be stirred. Drop by teaspoonfuls on a baking sheet, leaving room to spread. Add a nut or raisin to each. Bake in a moderate oven. Soft Molasses Cookies.—Take one half cupful of butter, two cupfuls of New Orleans molasses and put over the heat. When the boiling point is reached add one teaspoonful each of cinnamon and ginger, stir well and remove from the heat to cool. Add one egg, one cupful of sour milk and one teaspoonful of soda. Beat well and add about four cupfuls of flour, enough to be stiff when dropped from a spoon. Drop on this by the tablespoonful, leaving room to spread, pop at once into a rather quick oven and bake. Soft Molasses Cookies.—Take one half cupful of shortening, one cupful each of New Orleans molasses and brown sugar, two teaspoonfuls of soda, one teaspoonful of salt, and flour to roll. Flavor to taste. A spicy cooky made like the above, adding one teaspoonful each of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger and salt is one especially well liked. Bake all molasses cookies in a slow oven. A plain cooky may be cut with a fancy cutter, sprinkled with sugar and spice or nuts, or decorated with halved almonds at intervals, making a most attractive small cake. Poor Man's Cookies.—Take one cupful of drippings, one cupful of brown sugar, one cupful of New Orleans molasses. Heat in a saucepan until the ingredients are well mixed, add such spices as desired with one-half teaspoonful of soda, flour to handle. Toll thin, quickly and bake.
