LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THE NEGRO'S DEBT TO LINCOLN By ROBERT RUSSA MOTON, Principal of Tuskegee Institute. WHEN the Pilgrim Fathers set foot upon the shores of 'America in 1620 they laid the foundations of our national existence upon the bedrock of liberty. From that day to this, liberty has been the common bond of our united people. In 1776 the altars of a new nation were set up in the name of liberty, and the flag of freedom unfurled before the nations of the earth. In 1812, in the name of liberty, we bared our youthful might and struck for the freedom of the seas. Again, in '61, when the charter of the nation's birth was assailed, the sons of liberty declared anew the principles of their fathers and liberty became co-extensive with the Union. In '98 the call once more was heard and freedom became co-extensive with the hemisphere. And as we stand in solemn silence here today, there still comes rumbling out of the east the slowly dying echoes of the last great struggle to make freedom co-extensive with the seven seas. Freedom is the life-blood of the nation. Freedom is the heritage bequeathed to all her sons. For all who reflect upon the glory of our republic, freedom is the underlying philosophy of our national existence. Conflict of Two Great Forces. Conflict of Two Great Forces. But at the same time another influence was working within the nation. While the Mayflower was riding at anchor preparing for her voyage from Plymouth, another ship had already arrived at Jamestown. The first was to bear the pioneers of freedom—freedom of thought and freedom of conscience; the latter had already borne the pioneers of bondage, a bondage repressive allike to body, mind, and spirit. Here, then, upon American soil, met, within a year, the two great forces that were to shape the destiny of the nation. They developed side by side. Freedom was the great compelling force that dominated all, and, like a great and shining light, beckoned the oppressed of every nation to the hospitality of these shores. But slavery, like a brittle thread, was woven year by year into the fabric of the nation's life. They who for themselves sought liberty and paid the price thereof in precious blood and priceless treasure, somehow still found it possible, while defending its eternal principles for themselves, to withhold that same precious boon from others. And how shall we account for it, except it be that in the providence of God the black race in America was thrust across the path of the onward-marching white race to demonstrate, not only for America, but for the world, whether the principles of freedom are of universal application, and ultimately to extend its blessings to all mankind. In the process of time, as was inevitable, these great forces—the forces of liberty and the forces of bondage—met in open conflict upon the field of battle. And how strange it is, through the same overruling providence, that children of those who bought and sold their fellows into bondage should be among those who cast aside ties of language, of race, of religion, and even of kinship, in order that a people, not of their own race nor of their own creed or color but sharing a common humanity, should have the same measure of liberty and freedom which they themselves enjoyed. Freedom's Costly Sacrifice. What a costly sacrifice upon the altar of freedom! How costly the world can never know nor justly estimate. The flower of the nation's manhood and the accumulated treasure of two hundred and fifty years of unremitting toll were offered up; and at length, when the bitter strife was over, when the marshalled hosts on both sides had turned again to broken, desolated firesides, a cruel fate, unsatisfied with the awful toll of four long years of carriage, struck at the nation's head and brought to the dust the already weared frame of him whose patient fortitude, whose unembittered charity, whose never-failed trust in the guiding hand of God had brought the nation, weltering through a sea of blood, yet one and indivisible, to quietude and peace. On OL. XXVIII. that day, Abraham Lincoln laid down his life for America, the last and costliest sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Today, in this inspiring presence, we raise a symbol of gratitude for all who are blest by that sacrifice. But in all this vast assemblage there are none more grateful, none more reverent, than the twelve million black Americans, who, with their fellow-citizens of every race, pay devout homage to him who was for them, more truly than for any other group, the author of their freedom. There is no question that Abraham Lincoln died to save the Union. It is equally true that to the last extremity he defended the rights of the states. But, when the last veteran has stacked his arms on fame's eternal camping ground; when only the memory of high courage and deep devotion remains to inspire the noble sons of valiant fathers; at such a time, the united voice of grateful posterity will say: The claim of greatness for Abraham Lincoln lies in this, that amid doubt and distrust, against the counsel of chosen advisers, in the hour of the nation's utter peril, he put his trust in God and spoke the word that gave freedom to a race, and vindicated the honor of a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Has the Sacrifice Been Justified? But someone will ask: Has such a sacrifice been justified? Has such martyrdom produced its worthy fruits? I speak for the Negro race. Upon us, more perhaps than any other group of the nation, rests the immediate obligation to justify so dear a price for our emancipation. In answer let me review the Negro's past upon American soil. No group has been more loyal. Whether bond or free, the Negro has served alike his country's need. Let it never be omitted from the nation's animals that the blood of a black man—Crispus Attucks—was the first to be shed for this nation's freedom. So again, when the world was threatened with disaster and the deciding hand of America was lifted to stay the peril, her black soldiers were among the first to cross the treacherous sea and the last to leave the trenches. No one is more sensible than the Negro himself of his incongruous position in the great American Republic. But be it recorded, to his everlasting credit, that no failure to reap the full reward of his sacrifices has ever in the least degree qualified his loyalty or cooled his patriotic fervor. In like manner he has served his country in the pursuits of peace. From the first blows that won the virgin soil from the wilderness to the sudden marvelous expansion of our industry that went so far to win the late war, the Negro has been the nation's greatest single asset in the development of its resources. Especially is this true in the South where his uncomplaining toll sustained the splendors of that life which gave to the nation a Washington and a Jefferson, a Jackson and a Lee. And afterwards, when devastating war had leveled this fair structure with the ground, the labor of the freedmen restored it to its present proportions, more substantial and more beautiful than before. While all this was going on, in spite of limitations within and restrictions without, he still found the way, through industry, integrity, and thrift to acquire 22,000,000 acres of land, 600,000 homes, and 45,000 churches. After less than sixty years of freedom Negroes operate 78 banks, 100 insurance companies, and 50,000 other business enterprises with a combined capital of more than $150,000,000. Besides all this, there are within the race 60,000 professional men, 44,000 school teachers, and 400 newspapers and magazines; while its general illiteracy has been reduced to 26 per cent. Still, the Negro race is but at the beginning of its development; so that if anything in its history could justify the sacrifice that has been made, it is this: that a race possessing such remarkable capacity for advancement has taken full advantage of its State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House ABLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 22 1922 freedom to develop its latent powers for itself and for the nation. A race that has produced a Frederick Douglass in the midst of slavery, and a Booker Washington in the aftermath of reconstruction, has gone far to justify its emancipation. And the nation where such achievement is possible is full worthy of such heroic sacrifice. But Lincoln did not die for the Negro alone. He freed a nation as well as a race. Those conflicting forces planted two hundred and fifty years before had slowly divided the nation in spirit, ideals, and in policy. Passing suddenly beyond the bitterness of controversy, his death served more than war itself to emphasize the enormity of the breach that had developed between the sections. Not until then was there a full realization of the deep significance of his prophetic words: "This nation cannot endure half slave and half free." That tragic event shocked the conscience of the nation and stirred a great resolve to establish forever the priceless heritage so dearly bought. From that day the noblest minds and hearts, both North and South, were bent on healing the breach and restoring the Union. With a devotion that counted neither personal loss nor gain, Abraham Lincoln held steadfastly to an ideal for the Republic that measured at full value the worth of each race and section, cherishing at the same time the hope that under God all should share alike in the blessings of freedom. Now we rejoice in the farseeing vision and the unswerving faith that held firmly to its single purpose, even in the midst of reproach, and preserved for all posterity the integrity of the nation. Lincoln has not died in vain. Slowly through the years that noble spirit has been permeating every section of our land and country. Sixty years ago he stood in lonely grandeur above a torn and bleeding nation, a towering figure of patient righteousness. Today his spirit animates the breasts of millions of his countrymen who unite with us to pay tribute to his lofty character and his immortal deeds. An Experiment la Human Relationships And now the whole world turns with anxious hearts and eager eyes toward America. In the providence of God there has been started on these shores the great experiment of the ages—an experiment in human relationships when men and women of every nation, of every race and creed, are thrown together in daily contact. Here we are engaged, consciously or unconsciously, in the great problem of determining how different races can, not only live together in peace, but co-operate in working out a higher and better civilization than has yet been achieved. At the extremes the white and black races face each other. Here in America these two races are charged under God with the responsibility of showing the world how individuals, as well as races, may differ most widely in color and inheritance and at the same time make themselves helpful and even indispensable to each other's progress and prosperity. This is especially true in the South where the black man is found in greatest numbers and where the two races are thrown into closest contact. And there today are found black men and white men who are working together in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln to establish in fact what his death established in principle: that a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, can endure. As we gather on this consecrated spot his spirit must rejoice that sectional rancours and racial antagonisms are softening more and more into mutual understanding and effective cooperation. And I like to think that here today, while we dedicate this symbol of our gratitude, the nation is dedicated anew by its own determined will to fulfill to the last letter the task imposed upon it by the martyred dead; that here it highly resolves that the humblest citizen, of whatever color or creed, shall enjoy that equal opportunity and unhampered freedom for which the immortal Lincoln gave the last full measure of devotion. And the progress of events confirms this view. Step by step has the nation been making its way forward in the spirit of the great Emancipator. And nowhere is this more true than in that section which sixty years ago seemed Race Question Threatens to Split Walther League Race Question Threatens to Split Walther League Omaha, Neb., July 17.—Disruption of the thirtieth annual International Walther League convention was threatened for a time this afternoon over the question of whether Negroes should be allowed on the international convention floor on an equal footing with white delegates. Dispute arose on the subject between northern and southern delegations when the application of several Negro Lutheran churches for membership in the league was presented. The outcome of the dispute was a resolution providing that a separate Walther league for Negroes be formed and maintained under the supervision of the international executive board. The resolution, after considerable argument between northern and southern delegations, was adopted unanimously. The modern movie, modern dancing and certain preyailing forms of modern drama were denounced as "the vices of Sodom and the lusts of Gomorrah," by Prof. J. T. Mueller of St. Louis, Mo., this afternoon. "Our time has been rightly called an age of rationalism and infidelity in which preachers, teachers and editors all over the country are blasphemously denying the very foundations of the Christian faith. The pervisions of modern infidelity are the snares and pitfalls into which our feet may be entrapped wherever we go," he said. Four new societies, at Cheyenne, Wyo.; Royal, Iowa; Los Angeles, and Lincoln, Neb., were accepted into the league today. Gives Up Kingdom For White Bride London.—For the sake of his white wife, an Australian beauty, whom he married in 1915, the Rajah of Daduketa, in South India, has declared his intention of surrendering his kingdom to his brother and remaining permanently in England. His bride was Miss Molly Frink. At the time of his marriage, he made a state entry with her into his capital with all the gorgeous display of an Oriental monarch. A few days later, the royal couple came to England, where they have since resided except for a short time in 1920, when the Rajah went to Madras to welcome the Duke of Connaught. One of the impelling reasons for the abdication is the fact the Rajah's son by his wife can not succeed to the kingdom. least in accord with his spirit and purpose, yet at this hour, in many things, is vying with the rest of the nation toward the fulfillment of his hopes. Twelve million black Americans share in the rejoicing of this hour. As yet, no other name so warms the heart or stirs the depth of their gratitude as that of Abraham Lincoln. To him above all others we owe the privilege of sharing as fellow citizens in the consecration of this spot and the dedication of this shrine. In the name of Lincoln twelve million black Americans pledge to the nation their continued loyalty and their unreserved cooperation in every effort to realize in deeds the lofty principles established by his martyrdom. "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right," may we, one and all, black and white, North and South, strive on to finish the work which he so nobly began; to make America an example for all the world of equal justice and equal opportunity for all.—The Southern Workman. St. Louis Riots Costly St. Louis, Mo., July 10.—As a result of the riot in East St. Louis several years ago, the total judgment bonds outstanding at present amount to $454,400. The first installment on the principals of these bonds were paid by the Continental Commercial bank of Chicago last week, according to Commissioner of Finance W. J. Veach. A check for $24,000 was forwarded to make the payment on the principal and another for $13,620 was sent to pay the interest for the six month period ending July 1. A number of claims asserted against the city of St. Louis were in favor of colored people, but the large payments will be made to concerns whose property was damaged. Colored Miners Stay Out of Mine War Herrin, Ill., June 30.—Women mocking, men chuckling and children laughing at the mutilated bodies of the slain miners are among the list of the shocking details of the miners' war now blighting the fair name of this section of the state of Illinois. Up to this date no colored miners have been drawn into active participation in this awful drama of carnage and death, although there are many in the state. It is a "white man's affair" and right glad should the colored people in the state be for it to remain, whatever that might chance to mean. No one knows what is the extent of the actual death list. It may be fifty, it may be more than a hundred. It is a sickening and disgusting spectacle that can, with good reason, be placed side by side with Armenia and Russia. It does not now seem likely that colored men will be foolish enough to be drawn into the war. Mob law has gone unchecked so long that the country is reaping the consequences. Rector Dies in Texas Joseph Rector, the father of Miss Sarah Rector, the wealthy Negro girl, residing here, and owning oil lands in Oklahoma, died near Dallas, Texas, Sunday night. He was taken ill on the train, removed to the Baptist hospital in Dallas. There he recovered sufficiently to give directions and then passed away. Mr. Rector died from an attack which came as the result of the nervous disorder with which he has long been afflicted. The funeral took place in Oklahoma Wednesday, with all the family present. The mother and five children went from here Wednesday. The very fantastic story appearing in the Star concerning the death and its cause, is scouted by those who know. The trip which Mr. Rector was on had been through the western part of this country, Lower California, the City of Mexico, and he had come as far north as Dallas on his way home, with all conditions satisfactory. He had been a bondsman for Manuel, whose spectacular release from the Missouri penitentiary was one of the big events of the recent weeks, but he was not heartbroken over anything as alleged.—The Call. NO 40 Leaves Urban League $5,000 Mrs. Ella Sachs Plotz Remembers Welfare Movement in Her Will. The National Urban League for Social Service among Negroes is in receipt of a check for $5,000, being a request to this organization by Mrs. Ella Sachs Plotz, a member of the league's executive board, who recently died in France. Mrs. Plotz shortly before her death, wrote to Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the league, as follows: "Mx interest in the colored race was early aroused by my mother's father, Mr. Marcus Goldman, who was always a great admirer of Booker T. Washington and often told me, as a child, of incidents in his life. Later Mr. Rosenwald invited me to go to Tuskegee, and on that trip I met Mrs. William H. Baldwin. Ever since then I have worked heart and soul for the colored people to help create a better understanding between the white and black races and I feel that the very best friendships I have were started through contacts made in this work." The league's budget for 1922 is $57,000. Close to $40,000 of this sum is in sight. The league now has organizations in forty-two cities, its most recent additions being Columbia and Joplin, Mo., organized by George W. Buckner of the St. Louis Urban League and Tampa, Fla. The Tampa League was organized by Jesse O. Thomas, southern field secretary. The department of research and investigations, Charles S. Johnson, director, has just completed a survey of the industrial conditions of the Negroes of Baltimore and the report is now in process of preparation. Abram L. Harris, graduate of Virginia Union University, class 1922, has been appointed assistant in this department and will act as business manager of the Urban League Bulletin, a bi-monthly publication, which is rapidly gaining a prominent position in the discussion of social problems and the Negro's relation to them. The July number of the Bulletin is available and contains interesting articles by an employment manager on his experiences with Negro workers in northern industries, an interview with Professor Alexander A. Goldenwelser of the new school of social research on "Racial Theory and the Negro;" a review of recent books on the Negro and other interesting discussions of social topics. the annual conference of the league is to be held in Pittsburgh from October 17th to 21st. Problems of health, industry, recreation, migration and housing will be discussed by league secretaries and other active social workers—white and colored. A record attendance is expected. MAY SEND NEGRO TO NEXT CONGRESS. New York, July 19.—Congress, for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century, may have a Negro member after March 4 next. A concerted effort is being made by Negro leaders in the Twenty-first New York district, embracing the largest colored belt in New York City, to nominate one of their own race for the House of Representatives in the Republican primary this fall. The present member from the Twenty-first district, Representative Martin C. Ansorge, is a candidate for renomination. The Negroes mentioned as his probable opponents are James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Wm. H. Ferris, editor of the Negro World. Both have strong backing among members of their own race. The entrance of both in the primary would insure Ansorge's renomination, unless either Johnson or Ferris will withdraw. FOREIGN The publicity department of the Irish irregular army has announced that Eamon de Valera is at field general headquarters, serving on the staff of the director of operations. It is believed headquarters has been transferred from Mallow to Limerick. The provisional government reaffirms its determination to suppress the revolt. Chen Chiung-Ming's troops have broken the drive of Sun Yat Sen's forces in the vicinity of Shiukwan, inflicting considerable losses. Chen Chiung-Ming, who controls the railway between Canton and Shiukwan has sent 14,000 troops northward from Canton. Reserves around Shiukwan appear to have lessened Sun's chances of recapturing Canton. Famine and plague in Russia are under control, President Harding was informed by Secretary Hoover in a preliminary report on the use of United States Grain Corporation funds for relief work. The situation, Mr. Hoover added, promises to be much better after the harvest although it is too early to determine whether American relief work will be extended. Chang Tse-Lin, rebellious Manchurian super-tuchan, still is holding onto the rolling stock he took from the railroad lines between Peking and Mukden when he made peace and retreated northward. As this amounts to about 75 per cent of the line's available equipment, resumption of normal traffic is impossible, despite the more peaceful conditions caused by his withdrawal. Hermann Fischer and Edwin Kern, who for many days have been pursued by the German police as the assassins of Foreign Minister Rathenau, committed suicide, according to a dispatch to Berlin from Halle. The two men shot themselves, the dispatch said, as they were about to be captured in the turret of Saaleck castle, near Bad Koesen, whether they had been traced by the police. A grave political situation is developing in Poland as the result of hostility between President Pilsudski and Adelbert Korfanty, the newly appointed Polish premier, according to advises in London from Warsaw. The Polish army is said to be supporting President Pilsudski, but the supporters of Premier Korfanty are standing firm and assert Korfanty will not heed the president's request that he resign. Formal and official announcement that Great Britain will pay her debt of $4,300,000,000 to the United States, was made in the House of Commons by Sir Robert Horne, chancellor of the British exchequer. "Our debt to the United States is a solemn obligation and it will be met," said Sir Robert. It is expected this announcement will put an end to discussions of "debt cancellations." Talk in Dublin continues to center around approaching operations on a big scale against the Republican irregulars, but the Free State commanders so far have successfully hidden their plans. Meanwhile the National army troops continue to reap scattered successes. Including the prisoners captured by Free State troops during the recent fighting in Dublin, the Nationals now hold approximately 2,000 prisoners. GENERAL Charles Bonzek, a deputy sheriff of Rock Creek, died in the Lutheran hospital at St. Louis of a fractured skull caused by a blow over the head with a baseball bat in the hands of Charles Woolesey of Valley Park. Woolesey, enraged over a decision made by Bouzek, who was umpiring a baseball game at Fenton, near St. Louis, struck Bouzek with a bat. Millions of dollars are to be spent for building during the ensuing year by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, according to the report of retiring Grand Exalted Ruler William Wallace Mountain, presented at Atlantic City. The assets of subordinate lodges now amount to $58,099,234, and the elaborate building program for the year shows that there are to be erected in various parts of the country thirty-one new homes. Edward G. Workman, of Watertown, New York, evidently missed the war, so he brought it to his porch, in the form of a 155-millimeter shell, "a dud" salvaged from the artillery range at Pine Plains. Either the heat of the sun or the blow from a child's croquet mallet exploded the shell, killing eight children and wrecking the concrete house in which Workman's family and that of William L. Sallsbury lived. Grand jury action to fix responsibility for the recent coal mine warfare near Herrin, Ill., will begin as soon as the community has had a chance to "cool down," Attorney General E. J. Brundage of Illinois declared in Chicago upon his return from a personal trip of investigation in Williamson county. Brundage said that "it looks as though the mine owners were indiscreet in their display of armed strength." He declared that the mine guards were accustomed to terrorize the community. Gene Sarazen of Pittsburg a little 21-year-old native-born American of Italian descent, pushed his way out in front of the world's greatest golfers many of them old enough to be his father, and won the national open golf championship at Glencoe, Ill., with a score of 288 for seventy-two holes of play, lasting two days. Clifton, W. Va., where four are known to have been shot to death and possibly several others are dead in the ruins of the McKinley mine tipple is quiet again. Forty-five prisoners were taken by Brooke county deputies THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES. DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN Rudy Knepper, golfer de luxe, is the newly crowned trans-Mississippi champion, dethroning the reigning title holder, George Von Elm, by 5 up and 4 to go in a stirring match at the Omaha Country Club course. It required thirteen holes to decide the issue, although there was scarcely ever a doubt as to the final outcome. Sheriff George White of Santa Cruz county was killed and Manuel Martinez and Placido Silvas, convicted murderers, escaped when an automobile in which the prisoners were being taken to the state penitentiary at Florence, Ariz., overturned on the Nogales-Tucson highway near Contenant, eighteen miles south of Tucson. A coroner's inquest in Los Angeles found Mrs. Clara Phillips responsible for the death of Mrs. Alberta Meadows, her supposed rival for the affections of A. L. Phillips, her husband. The law having had its way with the smiling prisoner, husband and wife were then permitted to see each other for the first time since she was arrested. Mrs. Meadows was beaten to death with a hammer. Twenty men and women, passengers aboard the Tourist, an excursion boat, which became disabled ten miles off Newport, on the Orange county coast, south of Long Beach, Calif., were rescued by the fishing smack Music and brought to Long Beach. When the Music sighted the Tourist the latter was wallowing in the trough of the sea, engine disabled and a sail set to keep her head in the wind. WASHINGTON Clerks employed in postoffices throughout the United States will, during the remainder of the summer season, be permitted to enjoy a half holiday each Saturday, providing the work assigned to them has been completed by noon on that day, under an order issued by First Assistant Postmaster General Bartlett. Ordinary expenditures of the government during the fiscal year just closed fell off by $1,333,000,000 as compared with the previous year, while public debt disbursements showed a decline of $2,131,000,000, according to a statement of classified expenditures for the twelve months ending June 30, issued by the treasury. While optimism as to the outcome of the railroad strike was reflected at the White House, there was further evidence that the administration intends to keep a firm grasp on the situation and that every force at the command of the government will be utilized to insure maintenance of necessary interstate transportation. The final official step in the consummation of the Japanese-American treaty of Yap, concluded during the armament conference was taken by President Harding when he issued a presidential proclamation to the effect that the treaty had been concluded. The treaty recognizes Japan's mandate over the little island, but stipulates that America shall enjoy "open door" privileges and equal rights with Japan. A charge by Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wisconsin, that threats to slash rates in the agricultural schedule has been used in an effort to keep Republican senators in line on rates in the cotton schedule of the pending tariff bill, enlivened Senate debate recently on that measure. The farm population of the United States on Jan. 1, 1920, was 31,614,269, or 29.9 per cent of the total population of the country according to returns of the last census announced in Washington by the census bureau. Of this number, 31,350,640 were enumerated in rural territory and 255,629 on farms located within the limits of cities and other incorporated communities having 2,500 inhabitants or more. President Harding recently sent telegrams directing the operators of all bituminous mines shut down because of strike conditions to resume operations at once, and requesting the governors of those states in which the mines operate to furnish such military protection as may be needed. If state troops find it impossible to cope with the situation, federal troops, it was understood, may be employed eventually. Urging Congress to enact new legislation to destroy an alleged Standard Oil monopoly in the gasoline trade, the federal trade commission charged the corporation with "perpetuating the very monopolistic control which the United States Supreme Court sought to terminate." James H. Wilkerson, a Chicago attorney, has been nominated by President Harding to be United States district judge for the northern district of Illinois. He succeeds Judge K. M. Landis, who resigned to become high commissioner of baseball. LATE NEWS From All Over COLORADO COMING EVENTS. Sept. 25-30—Colorado State Fair, Pueblo. Aug. 2-4—Stampede, Monte Vista.

The dead are Art Ford and Omer Warren; the wounded Vernon Allen and Mrs. Omer Warren. Loveland.—Three women, two of them instructors at the Agricultural College in Fort Collins, were injured when a new car, driven by one of them, plunged over a fifteen-foot bank at the point near where the road from Fort Collins connects with the road from Loveland to Estes Park. Denver.—Officials predicted that the blockade of the tunnel on the Moffat road will be relieved between July 25 and Aug. 1. The tunnel has been blocked for several months. Rebuilding of the part of the Moffat shops damaged by fire July 4 is held up awaiting an adjustment of insurance. Trinidad.—Eugene J. Kerrigan, special representative of the Marine Insurance Company of London, has offered $5,000 for information that will lead to the recovery of $48,500 worth of Liberty Bonds contained in mail pouches which disappeared from the Santa Fe baggage room on the morning of May 21. Sterling.—County commissioners from nine northern Colorado counties unanimously indorsed the proposed $6,000,000 bond issue to be spent on state highways at a meeting held here. The counties compose the Ninth district and include Adams, Logan, Phillips, Sedgwick, Yuma, Morgan, Washington, Weld and Arapahoe counties. Rocky Ford.—An educational department has been added to the features of the Arkansas Valley Fair, and 250 prizes will be offered for school children in Otero county. Heretofore the exhibits of children have been in departments also open to adults. The change is due to efforts on the part of Superintendent Walters of the public schools here. Boulder.—Three hundred University of Colorado summer school students and others attempted to climb Arapahoe peak recently and most of them succeeded. Pueblo.—A protest petition against the proposed flood conservancy district has been filed in District Court by the Rocky Ford Canal, Reservoir, Land, Loan and Trust Company in behal of its stockholders. The petition states that 22,250 acres of the concern are included in the district, that the formation of such district is unconstitutional and prays that petitions favoring such district shall be dismissed and that lands of the company shall be excluded from any such district. Colorado Springs.—What is declared the greatest gold strike of recent years in the Cripple Creek district, once the foremost gold camp in the world, was revealed in two streaks of a rich four-foot vein at the 2,600-foot level of the Portland mine at Victor. The ore in the streaks, one and four inches in width, will run from $10,000 to $20,000 a ton, according to Joseph W. Ady, Jr., of this city, managing director of the mine, while that in the vein, exclusive of the streaks, will exceed $200 a ton. Boulder.—"Look what I got," said G. C. Berry, age 27 as he hopped off the machinery platform of the Strange-Maguire Paving Company. His left foot caught in the gears of the machinery and was amputated at the ankle. He never lost consciousness. He limped off the platform to the boiler room, where other men were working. Boulder.—J. Raymond Brackett, for thirty-five years professor of comparative and English literature at the University of Colorado, died at his home here at the age of 68. Denver. — Conditions in Colorado forecast a production of 29,728,000 bushels for the combined winter and spring wheat crops; 23,495,000 bushels of corn, 7,182,000 bushels of oats, 5,606,000 bushels of barley, 1,151,000 bushels of rye, 18,705,000 bushels of potatoes, 1,577,000 tons of sugar beets, 2,703,000 tons of hay, 4,091,000 bushels of apples, 910,000 bushels of peaches, 402,000 bushels of pears, according to the report just released by the United States bureau of agricultural economies (division of crop and live stock estimates), in co-operation with the State Board of Immigration. The Colorado winter wheat crop will amount to about 22,053,000 bushels if conditions remain exceptionally favorable, and an average yield of nearly nineteen bushels to the acre is finally produced on the 1,173,000 acres left for harvest. Last year the average was only twelve bushels to the acre when the crop amounted to 16,152,000 bushels. Denver.—Four of the eight National Guard units mobilized two weeks ago to preserve law and order during the coal strike were relieved from active duty by order of Col. Patrick J. Hamrock, adjutant general. The three units now in the field in the Frederick district will be withdrawn soon, it is understood. Colonel Hamrock decided danger of trouble is past and that the Ranger force now is adequate to cope with the situation. The units ordered demobilized are: Companies F of Boulder, H of Fort Collins, I of Longmont and the Howitzer company of Cañon City. These have been held in their armories. The company at Brighton still is on duty at its armory. Troop B, the tank company and medical detachment, all of Denver, are in the field. After their withdrawal, it is understood, an emergency force will still be held for a time in the armory. Sterling.—Forty county commissioners from district 9 of Colorado, composed of Adams, Logan, Phillips, Sedgwick, Yuma, Morgan, Washington, Weld and Arapahoe counties, met here for an annual conference on road and other public matters. Commissoner Tiffany of Adams county was chairman. The address of welcome was given by Mayor Sauter of Sterling. Charles B. Timberlake, congressman from this district, and E. R. Harper, secretary to the governor, were among the speakers at the dinner given the commissioners by the citizens of Sterling. A special road tax on heavy vehicles was advocated by some of those present. The talks generally favored the $6,000,000 bond issue proposed for road building. Cripple Creek.—The spirit of gold holds the district in its grip, following a strike at the Portland mine of the richest vein of ore found in the last twenty-five years. Nothing since the days of Stratton's "jewelry shop" in his old Independence, or the "Cresson vug" of 1917 can even approach it, experienced miners say. The "Cresson vug" was a rich find, but the new strike is of vastly more importance since it is a real vein. The Portland strike is also significant in that it was made at a 2,600-foot level, a new record for mining in the state, and seems to indicate that deep level mining in the Cripple Creek district has a future that even dreams might underestimate. Pueblo.—Extensive plans are being made in Pueblo for July 21 and 22, when members of the Colorado Editorial Association will be guests of the Pueblo Commerce Club at the regular midsummer meeting of the editors. The program for the two days includes brief talks by Mrs. Lois Allen on "The Franklin Price List" George Lewis on "Advertising Newspaper Advertising" and Arthur A. Parkhurst on "The Revision of the State Constitution," and a short business meeting. Headquarters for the editors in Pueblo will be in the Hotel Valle and at the Commerce Club. The first session of the convention will be held in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. Boulder, Colo.—Judge S. S. Downer, well-known attorney and for twelve years judge of the Eighth judicial district, comprising counties of northern Colorado, died at his home here. He had been in poor health for a year and became seriously ill a week ago. Judge Downer was a brother of Frank M. Downer, Denver manager of safety, and was 65 years old. Greeley.—The office of public trustee, to which Governor Shoup recently appointed A. M. McClenehan as head, is the object of a stormy fight. M. J. Walsh, present incumbent, has refused to relinquish the station and turn over the records to McClenehan. Pueblo.—C. F. Delliquadri, deputy sheriff, and A. E. Baertsch, said to be demented, were both wounded in a struggle when the officer attempted to place the man under arrest. The shooting occurred on a ranch ten miles north of Pueblo. Longmont.—Howard Roberts, a state ranger who shot and killed John Gaspar, alleged bootlegger, in a prohibition raid at Gaspar's home here, was exonerated by a coroner's jury. Gaspar was resisting arrest, the verdict sald. Fort Collins.—Ground has been broken for the new $117,000 chemistry building for the Colorado Agricultural College, President Chas. A. Lory turning the first spade of earth. Prof. L. D. Crain, Prof. S. L. MacDonald and Prof. E. B. House, members of the building committee, also each turned a spade full of earth. With Professor House at the transit, Dr. G. H. Whiteford set the first stake, and the other three corner stakes were driven by Professor Crain, A. A. Edwards, president of the State Board of Agriculture, and Professor MacDonald. R-U-Ready to Sign Up?

Grand Canyon—"Senatorial Courtesy" One in Every Seven Officers Must Go CABINET'S VOICE IN CONGRESS OK WASHINGTON.—President Harding's views were disclosed at the White House following a regular cabinet meeting which discussed at some length the proposal recently urged by Secretary of State Hughes that members of the cabinet be permitted to speak on the floor of congress on affairs concerning their departments. The President thinks very favorably of Secretary Hughes' recent suggestion in his speech at Ann Arbor that members of the cabinet be permitted to speak in both houses of congress and keep in closer touch with the legislative branch on matters vital to department business. The President let it be known, following the cabinet meeting, that he shares the unanimous judgment of his cabinet that an arrangement whereby executive department heads could go THE sensational adventuring into national parks finance of Senator Ralph H. Cameron of Arizona last February, when he tried to kill the entire appropriation of $88,000 for the Grand Canyon national park, has come to an end with the acceptance by congress of the conference report appropriating $75,000 for the next fiscal year. The bill has been signed. During these months Senator Cameron stood out alone against the entire United States senate, in fact against all congress, showing himself the aggressive enemy of national park development. "We have spent too much money already," he said in his speech, "for isms and fads and chasing rainbows; and, so far as I am concerned, if I can stop it I am going to do it." He explained that one could reach the Grand Canyon by county highway, or a privately-owned railroad, and stop there in a privately-owned hotel. "You can go there in any way you want to, by vehicle, horseback, automobile, Pullman car, special train, or otherwise; and why should we in the United States senate appropriate this money when it isn't needed?" Senator Cameron succeeded in holding his position against the unanimous sentiment of congress and the nation Frelinghuysen's SCIENTIFIC TARiff- MAKING BROADENING of the powers of the tariff commission to recommend to congress rates of duty based on the difference in "conversion" costs in this country and abroad was advocated by Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, a Republican member of the finance committee in a speech in the senate. He introduced his bill in the form of an amendment to the pending tariff measure. Senator Frelinghuysen declared that his plan, advocated by an organization composed of manufacturers, farm organization leaders and others, would insure scientific tariff making. He said that the pending bill, although he had a hand in drafting it and favors it, is not a scientific measure. APPROXIMATELY one in every seven officers in the regular army must be turned out into civil life by January 1 next, according to a preliminary estimate made at the War department of the effect of the compromise reached by senate and house conferees on the army appropriation bill. The unofficial study of its provisions indicates that 2,000 or more officers must be dropped entirely within the next six months. Of those officers to go the great majority will be from the line and many others probably will be demoted one grade. The compromise bill provides for a total of not exceeding 12,000 officers after January 1, 1923. There are now in the service 12,822 officers of all grades. The following reductions in totals in present strength must be made under the bill of January 1: Colonels, 160; lieutenant colonels, 94; majors, 836; captains, 1,258; first lieutenants, 71. In addition the following reductions in each of the staff corps are provided for: Medical corps, 149; dental corps, 77; veterinarians' corps, to congress whenever matters of interest to their departments were under discussion and have the right to speak from the floor, would be very gratifying. In the President's opinion such an arrangement would contribute to speeding up the action of the legislative branch. If the privilege of addressing congress at opportune times when important legislation was under discussion should be given to cabinet members, the President believes many misunderstandings would be avoided and the harmonious relations between the executive and legislative branches enhanced. There is a bill pending which would provide that members of the cabinet should attend congress in a group on stated days each week. This the President and his advisers think impracticable, but they do believe that congress will readily grant the authority for cabinet members to appear on the floor when desired by members. The President has been receiving communications from individuals asking him to censor cabinet officials in their public speeches, Secretary Weeks' recent addresses being used as the basis for these requests. Mr. Harding insists that the present Chief Executive will wield no censorship over the members of his cabinet. THE MOUNTAIN because he invoked "senatorial courtesy." As the plain people outside the senate would put it, he made it a personal matter. The final compromise, laboriously reached, restored practically everything in the original bill except the money for roads and trails necessary to enable people unaccustomed to wilderness hardships to see comfortably the amazing spectacles visible only from the north rim. Though the north rim is also in Arizona, the highway entrance is from Utah. The north rim groups with Zion national park and other great plateau spectacles, and Senator Cameron's compromise, therefore, is all at Utah's expense. The bill as passed provides that no part of the appropriation shall be spent on the north rim. "Scientific Tariff" sen amendment the tariff commission would be enlarged to ten members, with salaries of $12,000 each, and life tenures of office. Not later than December 1, 1923, the commission is ordered to report to congress the results of investigations into conversion cost differences and to recommend the rates of duty necessary. The amendment provides a fund of $1,000,000 to carry out the commission's extended duties. "The determination of rates is properly a subject for expert study and consideration," Mr. Frelinghuysen said. "It ought to be in the hands of a sufficient body of men equipped to give it specialized study, and having the authority to make exhaustive investigation and report to this congress scientific conclusions." He said the amendment which he proposed would vitalize the tariff commission and extend its powers. He would remove the members of the commission from personal and party pressure by establishing a fundamental principle for fixing rates, and it would give them the time, the money, and the authority to frame such a bill as would afford actual, not merely supposed protection to American industry and American labor. DISCHARGE 34; medical administration corps, 66; chaplains, 51. As the bill is read at the War department authority is given either to carry 800 officers and extra numbers in grade until absorbed by the natural losses in each grade or to demote that number one grade each. Recent annual examinations are known to have disclosed the effects of strenuous service and heavy responsibilities in France in the physical condition of many older officers. It is regarded as likely that such men will be retired for physical disability, although their knowledge and experience gained overseas is of the greatest value to the army.

The scintillating brilliancy of roya! social splendor was in evidence Mon- day night when the doors of the spe cious home of Dr. and Mrs. ©. B. Terry were thrown open to 300 guests at a reception of rare appointments given in honor of Mrs, W. B. Terry and Mrs. A. 'T. Jones of Columbus, Georgia., the mother and sister respectively of Dr. Terry. Floral decorations in ample profusion, consisting of American Beauty roses, pink and white carna- tions, shasta daisies, and pink and white sweet peas, with a bank of fern and palms adorned the beautiful reception hall, parlor and dining room. These, with a liberal placement of flickering candles and a gorgeous centerpiece of American Beauty roses and daisies upon the handsomely laden serving table lent a charm of strange enchantment and allurement of almost indescribable grandeur. Standing well within the parlor and surrounded here and there by an assortment of flowers, the guests of honor graciously received Denver, social elite who culled to pay them its highest respect. Mrs. W. E. ‘Terry was handsomely gowned in a most becoming black chiffon taffeta and her stately modesty and pleasing personality was thes triking event of the evening. ‘To her left stood Mrs. Jones, beautifully gowned in black Spanish lace over black georgette and a corsage of Ophelia roses; on her right stood Mrs. ©.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Railway Executives Refuse to Enter Negotiations to End Shopmen's Strike. He Warns Against Interference With Mails and Strikers Reply—France Opposes Moratorium for Germany—Attitude of Russians Disrupts The Hague Conference. By EDWARD W. PICKARD STRENUOUS efforts to bring to an end the strike of railway shopmen were made last week by Chairman Hooper and his colleagues of the federal labor board, but up to the time of writing these had been entirely unsuccessful and the status of affairs did not give much hope of an early peace. Late Wednesday night the railway executives took action that in the minds of many placed on them the burden of blame for the failure of negotiations. They flatly refused to enter into a parley with B. M. Jewell, leader of the strikers, and their reasons were held by Mr. Hooper to be in the main quite insufficient. They demanded that the shopmen abandon their strike and then proceed to settle their grievances through the labor board. They declined to meet Jewell on the ground that, the men having struck in defiance of the decision and order of the board and the controlling provisions of the transportation act, "the issue thus raised is not one for consideration between the carriers and the representatives of the organized crafts on strike, except through the further orderly processes before the United States railroad labor board, as contemplated by the transportation act." Unblased opinion will agree with Mr. Hooper's statement that the executive gave no reason that would satisfy the public. He continued: "In so far as the declination is based on a desire to preserve the authority and dignity of the railroad labor board, it is superfluous. The labor board will endeavor to take care of itself in that regard. The statement in the letter that 'the strike is a refusal to accept the results of the arbitration of the railroad labor board,' falls a little short of accuracy. One of the questions involved in the strike is violation of the board's decisions by certain carriers. It is true nearly all of the carriers have discontinued this practice, but some of them have not." Chairman Hooper intimated that new peace plans of the board involved appeals to the railway lines individually. In many parts of the country, especially the Middle West, Texas, and on the Pacific coast, the disorders due to the strike became increasingly violent, and a number of men were killed. In several states the militia was called out, and in some localities, notably Bloomington, Ill., the engineers, firemen and trainmen rebelled against working under military guard. Sympathetic strikes were talked of. The leaders of the brotherhoods held several conferences and said their men would continue to operate trains up to the point where the military occupation began. President Helt of the railway signalmen announced that his organization had postponed striking pending negotiations with the labor board which are now under way. On one Eastern road all the clerks struck. Determined to guard federal interests, the administration at Washington has been keeping close tab on the developments, and President Harding issued a proclamation "directing all persons to refrain with all interference with the lawful efforts to maintain interstate transportation and the carrying of the United States malls." This was done after Postmaster General Work had submitted to the cabinet numerous instances of interference with the transportation of the malls and the information that a number of roads had been forced to aban- don some of their mall trains. In case the proclamation were ignored, the administration laid plans for the institution of civil and criminal proceedings against individual offenders and the unions. It was understood that for the present the various states would be relied on for protection of workers and trains, but if any failed, the federal troops would be called out, and possibly soldiers and marines would be placed on the mall trains. The President is determined to back up the federal labor board to the full extent of his powers. On Thursday, at the direction of the President, Secretary Weeks ordered troops held in readiness to protect the lines of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road in Texas, where operations were impeded by lawlessness and violence. This was in response to an appeal from the receiver of the railway who was appointed by a United States court. Announcement was made by the Post Office department that if every mall train should cease to run, it would continue to transport mails by motortrucks and airplanes. The department has 56 planes, and the government owns thousands of trucks belonging to various departments. In response to the President's proclamation the executive council of the shopcrafts unions sent him a long telegram setting forth the grievances of the strikers. The labor board was, by implication, charged with partiality, and the railroads were accused of specific violations of the law and of disregarding the orders of the board. The workers, it was asserted, have been and are ready to negotiate with the railway executives and struck only as a last resort. "We respectfully insist," continued the telegram, "that no interruption of commerce or interference with the mails is caused by direct or unlawful acts of organized employees. Such interruption and interference results inevitably from attempts of railroads to operate with insufficient, incompetent and unskilled workmen." At the close of the week all that prevented an immediate strike of the maintenance of way men was the determination of their president, E. F. Grable, to keep them at work for the present. A majority of their general chairmen had requested that they be called together to plan for a walk-out. The stationary firemen and oilers decided to quit work on July 17. CHICAGO was facing an almost complete tieup of its local transportation facilities. The surface street car men already had voted to strike against a wage reduction of 20 cents an hour, and on Thursday the employees of the elevated roads also voted for a walkout. The unions agreed on a joint policy and plan of action, and there was hope that further negotiations might avert a strike. The situation was complicated by local politics and the desire of some of the city officials that the municipality should take over the surface roads and operate them. THUS far only partial success has been achieved by President Harding in his attempt to end the coal strike. The anthracite operators submitted what he regarded as a complete acceptance of his plan of arbitration, but the bituminous operators and the miners' union had not at this writing sent in their reply. Government officials thought both sides were evading an immediate decision with the intention of rejecting the settlement plan if public opinion seemed to approve such a course. Two conditions to the anthracite operators' acceptance were that a separate commission consider wage scales, and that the commission render its decision by August 10, they agreeing to pay in the meantime the scale of March 17. PREMIER MACKENZIE, KING of Canada, went to Washington last week and submitted to Secretary of State Hughes an interesting and, on the face of it, a reasonable proposal. This was that the Rush-Bagot agreement between Great Britain and the United States concerning the Great Lakes and the other boundary waters between this country and Canada be modernized and made permanent. The agreement, which has stood for 105 years and is terminable on six months' notice, limits the armament on the lakes and the St. Lawrence to four vessels of not more than 100 tons burden, each carrying not more than one 18-pound gun. Mr. King thought this an opportune time to suggest to our government that the agreement be given permanency in a formal treaty. Some of the authorities in Washington thought the Canadian prime minister was "trying to take a filer of his own in the disarmament market for political purposes." NOTWITHSTANDING the strong opposition of France, it appeared probable the allied reparations commission would grant Germany's formal request for a moratorium on cash reparations payments, after the payment by Berlin of the $8,000,000 due on July 15. The amount was reduced from $12,500,000 by the crediting of Germany with $4,500,000 on delivery of coal and dyes. The moratorium asked is for 30 months and the prediction was that it would be granted on condition that the allies be given control of Germany's finances during that period. The French asserted the collapse of the mark and the threatened financial downfall of Germany is due to the German policy of issuing unlimited marks and to extravagant government expenditures, and that the granting of a moratorium would not change the basic factors. They believe, in fact, that Germany has deliberately engineered her own insolvency in order to obtain a reduction of the reparations bill. In Paris it was said the chamber of deputies would overthrow any cabinet that consented to a moratorium unless there was a remission of the allied debts. GREAT BRITAIN has no intention of asking that her war debt to America be cancelled. Premier Lloyd George has decided to name delegates at once who will come to Washington to confer regarding the refunding of the debt in accordance with the terms of the Mellon act. These delegates are to have plenary powers and are to assure the United States officials that Great Britain does not consider the American debt as involved in Europe's war debts or in the reparations. Gold shipments to pay the interest will begin in August. DODGING and squirming and evading direct replies to direct queries, the Russian delegates in the international conference at The Hague had, by the end of the week, brought that conference just about to the breaking-up point. Their efforts were directed toward rupturing the solidarity of the non-Russians so that they might lay the blame for failure on some and then enter separate negotiations with others, especially the British. In this they seemed to have failed, for the British stood solidly with the French and others in the demand that the Russians recognize the pre-war debts, give guarantees for the credits they asked, and state definitely on what terms they would restore foreign property to its owners. All this the Russians refused to do, and their attitude made so useless further continuation of the conference that many of the delegates arranged to start for home at once. ALTHOUGH the Irish Free State forces are successfully "mopping up" the rebellious republicans, the disorder in the island is still such that the first session of the new parliament has been postponed again until August 15. By then, it is believed, conditions will be normal and there need be no involuntary absentees. Ulster has thrown another monkey wrench into the new Irish machinery. Premier Sir James Craig says Ulster will not participate in the joint commission which, under the treaty, was to have carefully marked out the frontier between the north and the south. The border, as it now stands, is a continual source of strife. ON THE recommendation o. Senators McKinley and McCormick and the Illinois Bar association, President Harding has named James H. Wilkerson of Chicago to be federal judge of the northern district of Illinois to succeed Judge Landis. Mr. Wilkerson has had a long career as county attorney, member of the Illinois legislature, assistant and later United States district attorney and assistant to Attorney General Brundage of Illinois. RAIL CONFEREES AGREED ON ALL POINTS EXCEPT SERVICE RIGHTS. PEACE PLANS FAIL LABOR BOARD WILL DISCON- TINUE PEACE, EFFORTS IN SHOPMEN'S STRIKE. Chicago.—The failure of all efforts to bring about the settlement of the country-wide strike of the railway shopmen was announced in a statement issued by Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the United States Railway Labor Board. "As there does not seem to be any probability of reconciling the antipodal views of the carriers and the men on the question at issue, the labor board and none of its members is now engaged in any further effort along that line," the statement said. At the same time the statement pointed out that virtual agreement had been reached between the rail heads and the strike leaders on all of the five points in dispute except that of the return to the strikers of their seniority rights—an incidental question which was not originally in dispute between the roads and their men. Railroad executives through the western presidents' committee on public relations of the Association of Railway Executives, issued a statement corroborating Chairman Hooper's statement that no further peace conferences were being held and that the seniority issue was the principal stumbling block. "There are now no conferences in progress looking to a settlement of the shopcrafts strike," the executives statement said. "Chairman Hooper of the labor board has held informal conferences with some railway executives, but these have had no results and are now at an end. "Since the strike was called the so-called question of 'seniority rights' has arisen and has now become one of importance. "The men who have stayed at work or accepted employment during the strike have been given assurances of protection, not only by the railroads, but by the government itself. "Thus it will be seen the fact that the men who are now working have claims upon the railroads and the public." Mr. Jewell, when informed at strike headquarters of the statements of Chairman Hooper and the railroad executives, refused to comment on them. E. F. Grable, head of the maintenance of way union, made public a letter he received from Mr. Jewell, disposing of reports that there was hard feeling between the shopmen and maintenance of way union because the maintenance of way organization had decided against a strike. The letter asserted that the shopmen were "delighted" that the maintenance of way union had found a way out of the difficulties confronting it that will bring justice to the membership. Two Killed in Train Smash. Muskogee, Okla.—Two men were killed and more than a half dozen other persons injured in a head-on collision between a passenger train and an extra freight train on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway four miles east of Tulsa. The freight crew misread orders. The engineer and fireman of the passenger train were killed. Governors Support President. Washington.—Replies from governors of coal-producing states, who were called on by President Harding to cooperate with the federal government in protecting mines at which operations are resumed, have been received in the White House. Most of the governors sald they would support the federal policy, if any emergency should arise, and outlined their plans for so doing. Meanwhile plans went forward to put the government fully in a position to fulfill the pledge of "every assistance at its command," given by President Harding. Prince of Wales Assists at Wedding. London.—The prince of Wales was best man at the wedding of Prince Louis Mountbatten, nephew of King George, and Miss Edwina Ashley, richest girl in Great Britain. King George, Queen Mary, Viscountess Lascelles and other members of the royal family were present. It was announced that the bride and groom would postpone their honeymoon until autumn, when they will go to the United States. Accuse Republicans or Pinchbuster. Washington. — Senate Republicans were accused by Senator Robinson, Damocrat, Arkansas, of conducting a filibuster against their tariff bill. His charge came after Senator Gooding of Idaho, chairman of the Republican agricultural-tariff bloc, and Senator Ladd of North Dakota had consumed four hours in reading prepared addresses. Senator Robinson declared that Senator Gooding's speech—a general treatment of the tariff—was irrelevant and meaningless" ```markdown ``` THE COLORADO STATESMAN ```markdown ``` the Mouth-Piece the People of Colorado and the Entire West RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and gress; a faithful mirror their wants, their hopes, ir best aspiration.

New Type, Latest Style Faces --- THE LABORATORY A Number of Utensils Are Needed for Different (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The housewife who intends to do canning this season had better see to it that she has all the needed equipment ready, suggests the United States Department of Agriculture. Unless she looks over her equipment beforehand, says the department, she may find at the busiest time that some of the utensils that help to make the work easier and quicker are lacking. Whether she uses a steam-pressure canner or a wash-boiler for the actual processing, a number of utensils will be needed for different stages in handling fruit and vegetables. Farmer's Bulletin No. 1211, recently issued by the department, says that for grading, sorting and washing shallow trays, pans or bowls are needed. Vegetable brushes are necessary for some of the Provide Means for Keeping Jars Off Bottom of Boiler. Provide Means for Keeping Jars Off Bottom of Boiler. thick-skinned fruits and vegetables, while for delicate fruit, like berries, a colander or sieve may be preferred. Useful Utensils. Several squares of cheesecloth, or wire baskets, may be used for holding the fruits or vegetables during the blanching process. Some kind of container, such as a large enameled buck- JAVELLE WATER USED AS BLEACHING AGENT Excellent for Removing Stains From Linen and Cotton. Obstinate Blemishes Made by Coffee and Tea, Fruits or Ink Will Yield to Application of This Useful Liquid. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Javelle water, which can be made at home, is a good bleaching agent to use in removing stains from white linen and cotton when more simple methods fall. Obstinate stains made by clear coffee and tea, fruits, or ink, for instance, will yield to an application of this useful liquid. Javelle water should be applied only to uncolored cotton or linen materials, because it bleaches colors and rots silk or wool. In treating stains with javelle water, stretch the stained portion over a bowl filled with water and apply the javelle water to the stain with a medicine dropper. Do not allow the javelle water to remain in contact with the stain for more than one minute. Apply oxalic-acid solution to neutralize the javelle water, and rinse by dipping the stain in the bowl of water. If allowed to remain too long in contact with the fibers, javelle water rots even linen and cotton materials, and it should, therefore, always be neutralized with oxalic acid and the fabric rinsed thoroughly to remove all traces of the chemical. For very persistent stains the javelle water may have to be applied several times, but should be neutralized with oxalic-acid solution after each application. Prepare javelle water as follows: Dissolve one pound of washing soda in one quart of cold water. To this solution add one pound of ordinary bleaching powder (calcium hypochlorite). Filter this liquid through a piece of muslin to remove the sediment. Keep the clear liquid in tight stoppered bottles in a dark place. Cleaning Soapy Sponges The way to clean a slimy sponge is to put it into a strong solution of salt and water. Let it stay for some hours, changing the water occasionally, and squeezing the sponge, then finally rinse in clean water. Handling Fruit and Vegetables in Stages. et, galvanized lard can or washboiler, which will hold enough water to cover a convenient quantity of the product to be blanched, should be provided. Several kettles will be needed for blanching, for rinsing after blanching and other purposes. A teakettle should be on hand for boiling water, which is needed from time to time for filling jars and for renewing the blanching water. Sharp-pointed paring-knives are convenient for peeling and cutting. (It is well to use a silver knife for peeling fruits that are sometimes discolored by steel). Tablespoons, teaspoons, measuring cups and spatulas should be at hand. Some means must be provided for lifting the jars out of the boiling water and for keeping them off the bottom of the boiler during the processing. This may be a tray with tall handles, or a false bottom to the boiler may be used with some sort of utensil to lift the jars. Many kinds of patent holders or lifters may be purchased, or a lifter may be improvised at home. A large buttonhook works well with jars that have a wire spring clamp over the top. Make Work Progress Rapidly. When canning in large quantities, such conveniences as strawberry hullers, vegetable slicers, apple corers, cherry pitters, apple parers, food choppers, scales and saccharometer to determine sugar density will make the work progress more rapidly. If the product to be packed is to be cooked first, spoons, slaves and sauce pans are necessary. Funnels and packing spoons or flexible metal spatulas or wooden paddles will aid in filling the jars and in removing air bubbles. If the canning is to be done out of doors, tables of convenient height, a covered garbage pail and flytraps are needed. A kerosene stove is convenient for heating water. All jars or tins should be washed, before the work is begun, and new metal lids, rubber rings, or sanitary caps provided. HOUSE FLY MOST DANGEROUS Clean Up All Manure Piles, Garbage Accumulations and Other Filthy Spots. Entomologists say the progeny of a single hibernating fly in a single season would, if unchecked, be sufficient to cover the surface of the earth to a depth of two feet or more. Moral, "swat the early fly." In Special Bulletin No. 48, Dr. W. A. Riley, chief of the division of entomology, University of Minnesota, divided the methods of combating the house fly into those directed towards extermination by the prevention of breeding and those serving as protection against the insect. As flies are born and reared in filth of all sorts, the obvious thing to do is to clean up all manure piles, garbage accumulations and slop pools. "However much one's neighbors may continue to breed files for the community, this does not render useless the keeping of one's own premises free from such nuisances nor does it excuse neglect," says Doctor Riley. As the entire development from egg to adult fly may be spanned in eight or ten days and a new generation started every 11 to 14 days, it is plain that every fly killed early means heavy mortality among the possible fly population.

These are good filling dishes, and not hard to prepare or at all complicated as to materials: Plymouth Succotash.—Take two cupfuls of corned beef stock, two cupfuls of chicken stock, one Plymouth Succotash.—Take two cupfuls of corned beef stock, two cupfuls of chicken stock, one cupful of diced corned beef, one cupful of diced chicken, two cupfuls of sweet corn, one and one-half cupfuls of diced potato, the same of diced turnip and dry lima beans. Soak the beans over night and cook two hours, add stock and beans and cook slowly, then add the vegetables and seasoning one hour before serving. Cornish Pasty.—Cut a pound of round of beef in one-half inch dice, slice potatoes and two or three onions. Make a rich biscuit dough and line a deep pastry tin; put in a layer of the meat, cover over all, leaving vents for the steam to escape. Bake until the vegetables are tender—two hours or less. When done, wrap the pastry in a cloth and set out to steam for ten minutes. This softens the crust and seasons it. Serve cut up like pie. The moisture in the fresh meat and vegetables will be sufficient. Rice and Egg Dish.—Take one-half cupful of rice, wash and drain, add a tablespoonful of butter with the rice in a saucepan and fry until yellow; add water and cook until tender, then add a little milk, seasonings and three eggs; stir until the eggs are scrambled and serve hot. This makes a dish which extends the egg, and one which is wholesome. Suet Pudding.—To one quart of boiling milk add one-half cupful of cornmeal, one-half teaspoonful of salt; stir until scalded, add another quart of milk, two beaten eggs, a cupful of sugar, a cupful or less of raisins and one-half cupful of chopped suet, mixed with a tablespoonful or two of flour. Bake in a slow oven for three hours, stirring occasionally for the first half of the cooking. "Just as the purest gold needs a little alloy to harden it and make it practical for use, so the person with the most brilliant mind needs common sense in order to succeed." DELECTABLE DISHES For a nice occasion the following dessert is one especially good to serve: Coronado Bavarian Cream.—Soak two ounces of gelatin in cold water. Take one quart of the ripe strawberries, crush and mix with one pound of Coronado Bavarian Cream. Soak two ounces of gelatin in cold water. Take one quart of the ripe strawberries, crush and mix with one pound of powdered sugar. Beat three cupfuls of double cream until stiff. Add the dissolved gelatin to the crushed fruit, then stir until the mixture begins to set. Mix lightly with the whipped cream; fill the molds and set on ice to harden. When ready to serve, dip the molds in hot water an instant and mold. Decorate with whipped cream and nice ripe berries. Scotch Shortbread. — Weigh two pounds of bread flour, one pound of butter and one and one-half pounds of sugar. Sift the flour, and set the pan in the oven until it is slightly warm, using a spoon to stir and expose it to the heat. Cream the butter until it is white and will keep its shape when lifted with a spoon, then add the sugar gradually, beating until the whole is well mixed. Using the hands, mix the butter, sugar and flour together, squeezing and kneading until the ingredients are well mixed. The better the mixing the shorter the bread. Lay the dough on a molding board, very lightly floured, and press out the mixture with the palms of the hands into a sheet one-half inch thick. Do not use the rolling pin or add any more flour. Heat a sharp knife and cut the dough in squares oblong or triangular. Bake in a moderate oven until a golden brown. Some prefer to bake the bread in a sheet, pricking it well with a fork. Clabbered Milk.—Set away a pan of milk rich with cream to sour and thicken. Chill and serve with scraped maple sugar or brown sugar and grated nutmeg. This is not only good but exceedingly wholesome. Cherry Betty.—Take fresh ripe cherries and well buttered crumbs, put a layer with sugar alternating until the baking dish is full. Bake until the cherries are well done. Serve with hard sauce. Apple Salad.—Take two cupfuls of diced apples, one cupful of diced celery and one-fourth cupful of pecan meats, mix with a highly-seasoned mayonnaise and serve on lettuce. Mint Jelly.—Prepare apple or plum Jelly and, when cooling, add a bunch of mint. When pouring into the glasses, a few drops of peppermint may be added to enhance the flavor. Nicole Marwee The D. P.
