THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY DISCUSSING LEADERS IT IS to be hoped that some way will be found to overcome and nullify the disposition on the part of the leaders of the colored people to antagonize and abuse each other. When one offers a plan for the solution, of some great racial question and gathers together under his leadership a group of followers to put into effect his ideas, some other colored leader proceeds at once to attack him either from the rostrum or in the public print. The leader so attacked, considering that a rank injustice has been done him immediately or as soon as possible proceeds to strike back and as a result the colored folks for the time being are in a turmoil. It seems to us that our leaders should learn a lesson from the denominational church leaders. In most instances, a Methodist church may be on one corner and a Baptist church on the other and the congregations pass each other in a most respectful fashion and the respective pastors treat each other with the utmost deference. But when it comes to politics or to economic questions and even in business, immediately the war is on. This condition of affairs is especially noticeable in the contentions now raging between Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, admittedly one of the brainiest citizens of color in this country today, and the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who glories in being a Negro and in having the masses of that race with him. Dr. Robert Russa Moton is now being the center of an attack, although, like Christ, he is reviled, but he reviles not again. It may be that Dr. Moton has a "cussing closet," where he can enter and have the satisfaction of saying just what he wishes to say concerning his alleged traducers. Then we have the Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, who has the time of his life fighting the white folks in front and the colored folks behind. The moment any colored leaders become prominent to the extent that he is regarded with favor by the public from a national standpoint, he becomes the target for outrageous attacks. The people who do this do not seem to understand that they are injuring the race as a whole, although they may be gratifying individual spleen in this special case. The proper solution of this condition is to realize that these leaders represent different viewpoints. Dr. Du Bois is an American, a believer in socialism, in contravention to American ideals and principles. Marcus Garvey is a citizen of the world so to speak and an African in thought and principle. He champions the cause of the Negroes without regard to governmental groups. He believes in the restoration of the Ethiopian to his pristine splendor and prominence, with an empire or a Republic in Africa. Colored people, Afro-Americans, citizens of color, who subscribe to the Declaration of Independence and who believe that the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States recognize them as entitled to all of the privileges of the original instrument cannot follow, either Dr. Du Bols into the Socialist camp, or Mr. Garvey into the purely African camp. A large contingent of colored people, living in this country, are just Americans and will pay taxes and offer up their lives for this government. Owing to this fact, they are in line with Henry Lincoln Johnson, insisting upon the VOL. XXVIII. right to aspire to office and to hold the same when so elected. They claim the right to accommodations on a non-discriminating basis with any other citizen in this country, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. They believe that people holding license from the public should serve the public, all the public, colored folks included. If the issue should come between Africa and the United States of America, this class of colored people, Americans would owe allegiance to the country in which they were actually born. This is the line of cleavage between these two elements. The trouble has been that the Negroes, who belong to the Du Bois camp have been trying to do business in the Garvey camp and the people of the other types have found themselves in the Henry Lincoln Johnson camp. Sometimes the Garvey type of Negro has found himself in the Du Bois camp. Whenever this has taken place, a howl has been the result, which has emphasized a dissatisfaction which is in a measure was limited. Then comes another type of Negro, who belong to the Robert Russa Moton camp. They represent the class of colored people, who are in a great measure servile in their attributes and habits. They believe in being helped by white folks and they tell about the helpless condition of colored people and the need for money to help them. They champion industrial education and the interest of the southerners in general and the northerners in particular with the idea that better servants can be obtained by the use of the industrial system and that the southern section will be benefited by the more skilled class of colored people, who have learned how to serve. They delight in preparing statistics as to the progress of colored folks along these particular lines and as a result secure private donations and public donations to aid the cause. They secured a virtual army of workers on salaries to do this work, and they keep philanthropic white people informed as to the improvement in home life and industrial energies in all parts of this great land of ours. Millions of dollars are available for this purpose and ever since Gen. S. C. Armstrong outlined the plan and left a black disciple in the person of Dr. Booker T. Washington, this work has prospered. Those who do not subscribe to the Robert Russa Moton type of leadership have no cause for complaint. There are hundreds of thousands of colored people, who can advance intellectually no further than the standard, this distinguished leader has set. Let his alone. The work is needed. The small proportion of the other class can seek their own leaders and accomplish wonders along their particular lines.—The Richmond Planet. DEDICATORY EXERCISES OF THE FREDERICK DOUGLASS MEMORIAL HOME. A souvenir program of the dedicatory exercises of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Home reached the office of the COLORADO STATESMAN this week, together with an invitation to attend the same. We take this means of expressing our grateful appreciation of the honor thus conferred by the National Association of Colored Women, State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House RELIABLE PEOPLE RADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, ABLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 29 1922 Tennessee's Successful Inter- Racial Program Tennessee's Successful Inter- Racial Program Schools Built, Health Conditions Improved, Mob Prevention, Better Relations Generally. Nashville, Tenn., July 28.—(Special.) The annual meeting of the Inter-Racial League, a section of the Tennessee Committee on Inter-Racial Co-operation, which was held here on July 12-13, revealed the fact that most encouraging progress in race relations has been made in this state during the past year. The efforts of the committee have been directed along many lines, chief of which has been that of securing better educational facilities for Negroes. The results reported include $35,000 high schools at Dyersburg and South Pittsburg, $25,000 schools at Brownville and McMinnville, a $9,000 school at Dickson, and a number of smaller schools. A fine library was secured for Howard High School, Chattanooga, and an $85,000 recreation park for the colored people of Memphis. The State Board of Health co-operated heartily in the Health Week program. In Hamilton county every school house was visited in this campaign, eighty-five addresses were made and over 15,000 people were reached. At Murfreesboro the circuit judge has asked the local Inter-Racial Committee to co-operate with his court in dealing with delinquent colored youth. Local committees are working with county agricultural and home demonstration agents to promote better farming, marketing and home conditions. Last, but by no means of least importance, a mob was foiled and a lynching prevented in a Tennessee town last year by the prompt action of the local committee. The annual meeting was held at the Tennessee Negro Normal during the summer session and was attended by hundreds of teachers from all parts of the state. It was addressed by a number of leading educators of both races, including Hon. P. P. Claxton, former U. S. Commissioner of Education; the State Superintendent, and the President of the State Board of Education. Prof. W. J. Hale, President of the Normal, was re-elected chairman of the League, and Robert E. Clay of Bristol was re-elected secretary. under whose auspices the exercises are being held. The history of the connection of the National Association of Colored Women with the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association reads like a fanciful bit of romance. At first it appeared to be only a beautiful dream, then enlarged into a daring hope, until under the able leadership of Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, then president of the National Association of Colored Women, the movement became nation-wide and today the Race is in possession of a national monument worthy of the memory of Frederick Douglass. The souvenir program is a distinct work of art containing photographic reproductions of memorial tablets placed throughout the Home in honor of Mrs. Helen Pitt Douglass, Madame C. J. Walker and others. The dedication is to take place at Cedar Hill on Saturday, Aug. 12, and upon the program appears the names of some of the most eminent leaders of the Race. We regret our inability to attend. --- Georgia Governor Promises Punishment to Lynchers The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced in its offices today the receipt of a letter from Gov. Thomas J. Hardwick of Georgia regarding the lynching of Joe Jordon and James Harvey, two young colored men, convicted of assault, who were lynched on July 1 at Lanes Bridge, Ga., after they had been granted a respite of thirty days by the governor. In reply to the association's request that not only the lynchers be punished but that Sheriff Rogers of Wayne county, Ga., and Deputy Sheriff Tyre, who permitted the mob to take the prisoners from him, be adequately punished. The governor replied: "As governor of this state, I have offered the largest reward authorized by law for the perpetrators of this outrage, and I will instruct the court authorities and the solicitor-general of the judicial circuit in which Wayne county is located, to present the matter to the grand jury at its approaching session. I will do all I can to vindicate the law in this matter." SPECIAL NOTICE TO MME. C. J. WALKER AGENTS EVERYWHERE. The Sixth Annual Convention of Madam C. J. Walker's Agents, which will meet at Baltimore, Md., Aug. 16th to 18th inclusive, promises to be the largest and best convention thus far held by this large group of business women. Important legislation, scientific lectures and demonstrations are on the program, and the Baltimore Union of Mme. C. J. Walker Agents has left nothing undone in its determination to royally entertain the delegates and friends. Every Walker agent is urged to attend and to communicate with Mrs. Alice C. Burnett, National Representative of the Company, who has established headquarters at 1606 Druid Hill avenue, Baltimore, Md., or get in touch with her at that address immediately upon arrival in Baltimore. Better Colored Schools in South Carolina Best Elements of Both Races Cooperating to That End. Columbia, S. C., July 28.—(Special.) —The white people of many South Carolina communities are co-operating heartily with the colored people in the effort to secure better educational facilities for the children of the latter. At Johnson, S. C., a movement is now on foot to provide a $6,000, six-room Rosenwald School. The Negroes have been raising funds for the purchase of a four-acre site, the Rosenwald Fund will supply $1,600 toward the building, and the balance will be provided from state and county funds and by private subscription. A similar enterprise has just been completed at Batesburg, where a $4,500 school was erected by these co-operating agencies, and the contract has been let for a $6,000 school at Leesville, for which provision has been made in the same way. These are among the most recent illustrations of the friendly and helpful relations for which the best people of both races are striving and which Inter-Racial Committees are doing much to foster throughout the South. To this end a strong state committee has been set up in each Southern state and local committees have been organized in 800 counties. Haitian Girl Held in Peonage Released Altida Supplice, a Haitian girl under 15 years of age, has been returned to her home after being held for more than a year in virtual peonage in Washington, D. C., through the efforts of the District of Columbia Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., according to announcement here today. The girl was brought to the United States in 1921 by the wife of a captain in the Marine Corps on a promise of $10 a month in wages and a home. Although the girl was forced to do all sorts of menial tasks, she never received more than $5 for any month's work and at the end of most months she was told that she had nothing due her as her wages had been expended for clothes. These the marine officer's wife purchased for the girl, declaring that the cost was always in excess of wages due in order that the girl might remain perpetually in debt. Becoming dissatisfied, the girl ran away but was caught and returned to her employers. Later she ran away again and this time the case was reported to Shelby J. Davidson, executive secretary of the District of Columbia Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. In company, with Prof. Metz Lochard of Howard University, who acted as interpreter, Mr. and Mrs. William Pickens, who happened to be in Washington at the time, Mr. Davidson called on M. Arthur Bailly-Blanchard, Haitian minister to the United States. The Haitian minister at first seemed disinclined to take any action in the matter, but upon the delegation's insistence he consented to take the matter up by talking with the wife of the marine. She denied the charges, although competent witnesses proved the truth of what the girl had charged. It was discovered during the interview that she had asked the Washington police to arrest the girl and return her. When it was found that this had been done, the Board of Children's Guardians was requested to take charge of the girl until she could be returned to her home. This was done while at the same time steps were taken through the United States Immigration Bureau to arrange to have the girl returned to Haiti on the first steamer. Both of these steps proved successful and the girl has been returned to her parents in Haiti, from whom she had been taken by the marine and his wife without the knowledge and consent of the parents. The successful conclusion of this case circumvents a bold attempt to hold a person in peonage in the national capital. BOULDER. COLO., NEWS. Well, we are having it warm during the day, but we are thankful for cool evenings. Professor Carr, principal of High School of Dallas, Texas, lectured at Allen Chapel, Sunday night, the 23rd, Rev. Carter, pastor, filling the pulpit in them orning. Prof. Carr spoke on "Practical Applications of Our Opportunities." Everyone thought his address fine. Prof. Daniels of Wiley University of Texas spoke at the Baptist Church Sunday night of the 23rd. Everyone that attended considered his address a rare treat. Rev. Jackson filled the pulpit in the morning. Mrs. Luner gave a social gathering NO 41 On Thursday night, July 20, H. S. Hickson, aged 75, a highly respected citizen of Trinidad, was called from a crowd and under the pretext of an arrest was brutally beaten over the head with a six-shooter by one Corporal Chase, a member of the Colorado State Rangers. According to many reliable witnesses and from reports of the affair taken from the daily Trinidad papers, it was one of the most cowardly and unprovoked assaults ever perpetrated upon an American citizen. The matter was presented to Col. P. J. Hamrock, head of the Rangers, and a strong demand made by the citizens of Trinidad and by the Denver Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., that Chase be summarily dismissed from the service. He is manifestly unfit to be trusted with authority and disgraces the uniform he wears as a member of the Rangers. Col. Hamrock's letter on the matter is as follows: "July 25, 1922. George W. Gross, President, Denver Branch, N. A. A. C. P., Capitol Bldg., Denver, Colo. My Dear Sir: I have before me the letter written you by the Rev. J. W. Wright of Trinidad, reciting the facts concerning a very unfortunate and needless assault upon one H. S. Hickson, an aged colored man, on the night of July 20th, by a member of the Colorado State Rangers. This matter had been previously presented to me and I had already taken steps to properly reprimand the offending Ranger for what appears to me an utter lack of judgment and an unwarranted abuse of authority. I feel that you need no assurance from me that I would neither countenance nor tolerate unfair discrimination nor mistreatment of any person because of race or color, and, while in this instance a very serious mistake has been made, I am certain that sincere regret is felt on all sides and there will be no repetition of such an offense. I remain, Yours very truly, P. J. HAMROCK, Adjutant General of Colorado." (Copy) at Mrs. Mosley's residence Monday night, the 24th. About thirty were present. Punch was served. A number of the teachers, visitors of Boulder, gave a pageant on University Hill Monday night, the 24th. The ladies of Boulder gave a reception in honor of the teachers and nurses visiting Boulder at Allen Chapel Thursday. Everyone reports a good time. Mr. Louis Tinis of Denver was a Boulder viscitor Sunday, the 23rd. He left Denver on the 4 o'clock interurban and left Boulder on the 9:50 at night; visited with his sister, Mrs. Sarah Linsley and friends. Mr. Frank Imanuel of Denver spent the day (Sunday, 23rd) in Boulder, visiting friends and relatives. Mrs. E. Horner is visiting her mother in Portland, Oregon. Mrs. Washington and grandson, James, are wonderfully elated over the recapture of the English pill bulldog which was stolen about a year ago. FOREIGN National army troops have gained a fresh victory in west Ireland by capturing Ballyhaunis, County Mayo, from the Republican irregulars. The Free State triumph in the capture of Limerick was followed swiftly by successes in the surrounding district. Secretary Edwin Denby of the American navy narrowly escaped death at Peking in an airplane accident. When flying at a height of 4,000 feet over the great wall, the engine of the plane broke down. The machine was demolished in landing, but Mr. Denby was uninjured. Former enemy allens will be admitted to the British crown colony of Hongkong with the expiration of the anti-alien ordinance next month, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce of Hongkong learned from the government sources. The ordinance will not be renewed, he was informed. There were wild scenes on the bourse as values of the German mark fluctuated in consequence of newspaper announcements that the allies were going to take over control of German finances. There was considerable dealing in foreign securities. The mark went to 535 for one American dollar. Lord Newton, speaking in the House of Lords recently, declared England and Scotland were the dirtiest countries in Europe. He quoted statistics to show that 300 tons of soot fall every year on each square mile of London, which was enough to build a pyramid four times as high as the famous clock tower over the houses of Parliament. Former Premier Orlando, after an hour's consultation with King Victor Emmanuel in Rome, is reported to have refused to form a cabinet to succeed that of Premier Facta, which resigned recently. Signor Orlando, who has been discussing the situation with all the leaders of the various constitutional groups of the chamber, is said to have declared himself against the formation of a short-lived cabinet. Fighting around Shinchow, seven miles north of Canton, has resulted favorably for General Shen Chiung-Ming's forces, according to reports to Chen. These say the troops of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, whose south China government Chen overthrew, have retreated miles. These forces were part of the body Sun threw into Kiengsl province, whose return to Kwangtung, Sun anticipated, would enable him to regain his lost capitol, Canton. Limerick is completely in possession of the Free State forces, it is officially announced in Dublin, but no details of the final engagement with the irregular troops are given. With Limerick and Waterford in the hands of the National forces, the attack on this line now has been opened in earnest and a combined assault is expected shortly. The Free Staters also have occupied Tullamore, where they were received with enthusiasm and popular rej菲icing. They now dominate Kings county. GENERAL Federal survey of strike situation gives 610,000 miners on strike and 185,000 still at work. The last announcement of the governmental agencies seeking to bring about a resumption of work by the striking shopmen, clerks, officers and groups of maintenance of way workers, having been that of the federal railroad labor board to the effect that the board contemplated no further move at present, has left the country waiting for something to happen. With immediate prospect for peace in the railway, strike gone, strikers and railroads have settled down to a test of strength. The statement of Chairman Hooper of the Railroad Ishler Board that the board no longer was engaged in peace negotiations left the situation open to direct negotiation between strike leaders and railway chiefs, or attempts from other quarters. Horace Tanner, 24 years old, contractor, died in a Mobile, Ala., hospital from a broken back suffered while diving in shallow water. Tanner dived from a lofty height into what he thought was twenty feet of water when there was only three feet. The lack of unity between President Pilsudski of Poland and the Polish diet, felt since the beginning of the present cabinet crisis, seemed, in the view of some close observers of the situation, to be threatening to resolve itself into something like civil war. Although gasoline refineries in the United States are breaking all records for production, the reserve supply of "gas" for the nation's automobiles is steadily growing smaller, the American Petroleum Institute disclosed in New York recently. In May, 12,229,975 barrels of motor fuel were refined, topping by over a million barrels the highest previous record made in September, 1920. Yet, according to the institute's figures, if all production should cease simultaneously, there would be only eighty-two gallons apiece for the 10,448,632 automobiles registered in the country. William Allen White, editor of the Emporia (Kansas) Gazette, who, for several days, has been displaying a placard in the window of the Gazette office, now keeps his sign concealed from the public. The yellow poster announcing "we are for the striking railroad men 50 per cent," was removed following the issuing of a warrant charging Mr. White with violating the Industrial Court law. The editor immediately made bond for his appearance when the case is called in the October term of the District Court. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS DAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRE ROUND ABOUT. THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. WESTERN Burglars broke open eighty vaults on six floors of the Paulson building in Spokane, Wash., and stole in excess of $100,000. This is the largest burglary ever committed in Spokane, according to local police. Chris Chfollis, 28, was instantly killed and Charles V. Herman, 28, was injured, possibly fatally, when the automobile they had entered in the races at Lagoon, an amusement resort near Salt Lake City, plunged through the fence. Jeffrey Hildreth and his slayer, Monte P. Rose, sleep together in Fall River cemetery at Redding, Calif. They had been friends for several score years until a law suit estranged them and led to a quarrel as a result of which Rose slew Hildreth and then himself. Spreading over an area that totals between 2,000 and 5,000 acres, the Marble creek forest fire, near Avery, Ida., about eighty miles east of Spokane, Wash., has developed under a brisk wind into what forestry officials consider to be the largest fire in the Idaho territory since 1919. Thomas Lynch, his wife, Mary, their daughter, Katherine, aged 4, and nephew, Philip, aged 3, were killed and four other members of the Lynch family and another woman suffered burns which are expected to prove fatal in a collision between the Lynch automobile and a street car in San Francisco. Report was confirmed by W. J. O'Connor, assistant manager of the American Smelting and Refining Company's smelter at East Helena, Mont., that the wage scale at the plant would be increased 50 cents a day. The smelter will thus be paying the same scale which will prevail in other places in Montana for similar work, said Mr. O'Connor. WASHINGTON Operators from the coal-producing districts of six states have been asked by Secretary Hoover to co-operate with the government and the railroads in a plan to insure the distribution of fuel to the carriers and public utilities and to prevent profiteering during the strike emergency. Republican and Democratic senators joined in demands for prompt payment of American damage claims against Germany and Austria but differed as to procedure during three hours debate on the bill of Senator Underwood of Alabama, the Democratic leader, which proposed an American claims commission. In a comprehensive report submitted to the Senate by Chairman Norris of the Senate agricultural committee, Henry Ford's offer for the purchase and lease of the government's war-initiated projects at Muscle Shoals, Ala., is condemned in unusually strong language, while the Nebraska senator's bill, proposing development of the properties under a government-owned and controlled corporation, is described as "the most wonderful plan" that has ever been proposed in the history of the country. Secretary Hughes has been authorized by President Harding to enter into negotiations with the principal maritime nations of the world with the view to holding a conference in the United States for a discussion of means of preventing oil pollution of navigable waters, especially in important harbors. The Interstate Commerce Commission has declared that an emergency exists in transportation in territory east of the Mississippi river, which required it to direct the routing of shipments of all essential commodities and to fix preference and priority for the movement of food, perishable products, coal and other fuel, and live stock. Failing to get action from the Senate finance committee majority, Senator Lenroot, Republican, of Wisconsin, launched his fight in the Senate to limit to 60 per cent ad valorem the duties in the pending bill on coarse wools, both in the raw and the manufactured state. His proposal met with sharp opposition from spokesmen for the committee and senators engaged in the production of wool, and there were frequent and, at times, sharp exchanges. President Harding has accepted the invitation of the Flathead Indians of Montana to become an honorary member of their tribe. President Harding, in his reply of acceptance, said he had no objection to a proposal to have a mountain peak on the Indian reservation named Mount Harding. Three Japanese cruisers, the Iwate, Isume and Asama, making a world tour, visited at Los Angeles harbor, the only American port at which the squadron will stop. Officials of the Japanese association entertained the personnel of the ships. LATE NEWS From All Over COLORADO Sept. 25-30—Colorado State Fair, Pueblo.

Wray.—On application of the Wray Telephone Company, a subsidiary of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission has authorized extensive rate reductions. Victor.—Because the woman with whom he had been keeping company refused to agree to marry him, Charles W. Dingwall, a barber employed in the shop of W. W. Bonner, committed suicide here. He shot himself through the left lung and died almost immediately. Denver.—Heavy reductions in express rates on fruit and vegetable shipments from the western slope of the state, which will result in a saving of thousands of dollars to the growers and shippers this season have been ordered by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. Fort Collins.—An ordinance restricting the putting up of billboards has been passed by the city council. The ordinance is almost prohibitive in its restrictions. A bond of $6,000 is required by the city before permits for the erection of billboards will be granted, and fines for violation of the provisions of the ordinance range from $5 to $100. Denver.—Federal aid has been asked for by the state in the construction of three and eight-tenths miles of paved road to connect stretches completed or nearing completion between Fort Collins and Loveland, according to Oliver T. Reedy, acting state highway engineer. The distance between the two points is thirteen miles. All but three and eight-tenths miles has been paved or is under contract. Greeley.—Arnold D. Jones, coach of Greeley high school athletic teams for two years, in which Greeley won one state football and two state basketball championships, has notified the Greeley school board that he has accepted the position as coach at Montana State College at Bozeman, Mont. As Jones has signed a contract with Greeley for the coming season the board has refused to accept his resignation. Pueblo.—Emphatic denial that officers of the United Mine Workers in Huerfano county coal fields had telegraphed President Harding for protection against the Colorado rangers was made by Felix Pogiliano, secretary of District No. 15, United Mine Workers, at his office here. Grand Junction.—Accused of forgery, Nels Nelson of Telluride killed himself at the Mesa county jail here by swallowing poison. He was said to have left Telluride after passing a bad check for $260. Nelson was arrested later at Eagle, where he was working under the name of Alm. Jail officials who searched him allowed him to keep a bottle which he told them contained medicine. Aspen.—The biggest silver strike in years was reported here when it was announced that the Midnight Mining Company had uncovered a vein of ore assaying, on the average, $200 per ton. The strike was made by workmen timbering the wall in the 4,900-foot tunnel. They are now making a cross-cut into the vein and an immense yield is expected. The Midnight mine is located four miles south of Aspen and has been in existence about eight years. Denver.—"The coal operators, as well as all other classes of producers of the necessities of life, must play fair with the people of this state." Tht was the statement contained in a proclamation issued by Governor Shoup to the effect that military forces will be withdrawn from the coal fields of the state if coal operators attempt making advances in prices or coal. Boulder.—Fourteen new members for the faculty of the University of Colorado were authorized by the regents at a session here recently. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. Denver.—Word has been received here by C. M. Granger, assistant district forester, from Secretary of Agriculture Wallace of the approval of the agreement of the proposed Cameron Pass road, which is to be started soon by the bureau of public roads. By this agreement the United States government will appropriate $71,000 of the $86,000 estimated cost of a stretch of 9.3 miles of road through the mountain territory. The remaining expense of $15,000 is to be borne by the state. Colorado Springs.—Daniel Fretz, proprietor of the People's dairy of this city, and his family are believed to be the Colorado family killed in a grade crossing accident near Buffalo, N. Y. The members of the family, according to the city directory, are Daniel Fretz, his wife Alice, and three children, Ethel, 17; Harold, 12, and Carl, 10. The Fretz family left here a month ago by motor to spend the summer in New York state, and to make a cross-continental motor trip. Seibert.—A twisting wind, very much like a cyclone or tornado, swept through Seibert recently, damaging many buildings and seriously injuring the 6-year-old son of W. S. Stone, a farmer residing six miles south of town. The boy was hit by a scantling from the lumber yard. The wind came from the northwest, the twisting part coming down in the center of town, and cutting a path fifty feet wide to the edge of the city when it rose to come down again about a mile further on. Silverton.—The Silverton Commercial Club has caused notices to be posted through a greater part of the state announcing that the Silverton Ouray highway, the scenic route to Mesa Verde, is open for travel. The road is reported in good condition and will be open until Aug. 15, and perhaps even later. If the road is closed because of new construction the club promises that notices will be published in Denver and other Colorado newspapers. Denver.—According to a report by the district forest department, 1,000 acres of the national forest reserve have been destroyed by fire in this state since the first of the year. Three thousand six hundred dollars have been expended in suppression of the fires, 62 per cent of which have been traced to carelessness. Damage in 40 per cent of these has been settled by fines or payment of damages. Fifty per cent of last year's cases were settled in this manner. Denver.—The apportionment of the state public school income fund, collected through the State Board of Land Commissioners during the six months' period between Jan. 1, 1922, and June 30, 1922, has been announced by Katherine L. Craig, state superintendent of public instruction.

Manitou.—Injuries received in a fall from a cliff in Crystal park, a short distance from Manitou, late this afternoon, may prove fatal to Louis Jacoby, 8, son of Max Jacoby, a furrier living in Manitou. The boy is in a Colorado Springs hospital suffering from internal injuries and a fractured right arm. He was found unconscious at the base of a cliff, where he had lain for several hours, by a motor party, which brought him to Manitou for medical aid. Greeley.—The body of Irvin I. Hittle, 21 years old, with a bullet through the heart, was found in a dry ditch, separated from the road by a fence, on the farm of W. T. Sylvester, four miles southwest of Greeley. The body was discovered by M. L. Heuthorne, a beekeeper, who noticed something strange in the ditch and climbed through the fence to investigate. It was partly concealed by weeds, and had evidently been thrown over the fence. Golden.—The summer school of the Colorado School of Mines has enrolled the largest class of its history, records show. Twenty-three states and eight foreign countries are represented in the student body. Indications are that an even greater number of students will enroll for the summer term next year. Greeley.—Sheriff Frank Hall and Chief of Police Florence said that they are completely baffled in their investigation into the murder of Irvin O. Hittle, 20 years old, whose partly decomposed body, with a bullet wound through the heart was found in a ditch six miles south of here. Palisade.—Chester Eyer, 20, of this city, was killed and his sweetheart, Miss Elizabeth Scott, 19, of Palisade, was seriously injured when Eyer's automobile turned over on the road to Mesa, twenty miles east of Palisade. The couple were driving to a picnic at Mesa. Walsenburg.—Frank Hefferley, said to be a miner, was arrested here and bound over to the District Court on charges of attempting to intimidate men at work in the mines near Walsenburg. Denver.—Members of the Moffat tunnel commission met to adopt plans and specifications and to make estimates in connection with the construction of the Moffat tunnel, following submission of the special report by the three consulting engineers on the best methods of procedure in building the project. This report was compiled by D. W. Brunton, renowned Denver engineer, and J. Vipond Davies and J. Waldo Smith, engineers of New York city, and was based on a personal study and survey of the tunnel site lasting several days. Cleaning, Pressing and Repairing. All Work Guaranteed 720 EAST 26TH AVE.

PLAN A NATIONAL HIGHWAY SYSTEM STATE AND FEDERAL OFFICIALS BEGIN A SERIES OF CONFERENCES IN WASHINGTON LOOKING TO FUTURE DEMANDS Roads and Bridges Must Be Wider to Accomodate Growing Traffic—Regulations for Motor Trucks May Be Adopted Later. By JAMES P. HORNADAY Washington.—The highways of the country which for the most part have been constructed in state units are to be linked up in one countrywide system. The federal government and the states are now co-operating to this end. A meeting of New England state highway officials and engineers of the federal bureau of public roads has just been held here. This is the first time public officials have got together for the purpose of laying out a system of highways to serve an area larger than a single state. Throughout the summer and fall similar meetings will be held between the federal officials and highway authorities of various groups of states. By the end of the calendar year, if all goes well, there will be, on paper at least, a comprehensive plan for linking up all the state highway systems. This forward step is the result of recent federal road legislation which requires that all federal aid be spent on a connected system of highways designed to serve the needs of the whole country. Tentative road systems have been submitted to the federal bureau of public roads by all except eight states, and the series of meetings that has been arranged for is to determine how to connect and coordinate the state systems. From this time on only roads certain to be a part of the nationwide system are to be approved for construction with federal aid. It is estimated that the national system of highways will comprise about 180,000 miles of roadway. If the system is established in accordance with the preliminary plans, the United States will in time—and that time is not so many years away—have the greatest system of any country in the world. Must Meet Demands of Future. The representatives of the federal government and the state governments who are attending these regional conferences are also taking up the question of how the future demands on the public highways shall be met. The road building authorities have discovered that many of the highways already improved will not meet the future demands that will be made on them. Indeed many of the roads are not wide enough to accommodate properly the traffic that now passes over them. Passenger automobile traffic on public highways, for instance, has doubled since 1916. This kind of traffic continues to show an enormous annual increase. It is the growth of the truck traffic, however, that is causing the federal and state authorities to talk of wider roadways, wider bridges and more lasting road-bed material. There is more or less talk to the effect that sooner or later this motor truck traffic over the highways will have to be regulated either by the federal government or by the states or through a system of joint regulation. It is foreseen that this problem will become more important as the state highway systems are linked into a national system. In some sections of the country the local freight business has very largely been diverted from the railroads to the motor' trucks. It seems probable, so the best informed men say, that with a national highway system in operation, much of the long-distance freight business will be done by a motor truck company. In some localities in the east, the motor trucks are now crowding the passenger automobiles off the highways. Plans for Motor Truck Traffic. Some thought has already been devoted to plans for requiring motor truck companies that use the improved highways to establish terminals, to operate their trucks on a time schedule and to exact from the companies a road tax sufficient to cover the wear and tear on the roads. But before these advanced steps can be taken, it is pointed out, the federal government and the states, since they are co-operating in the building of highways, must widen many of the roads that have already been improved and must see to it that roads that are improved from this time on are wide enough to take care of both freight and passenger traffic. The conferences that are under way here are also taking up the subject of standardization of specifications and tests for road material. Until recently the general tendency was toward individuality in each state without much opportunity for the exchange of ideas and knowledge. Now the tendency is in the other direction. Ultimately, the road builders say, main highway arteries will be constructed of the same building material. A committee on tests of building material has been created by the federal government and the states. Federal-aid road projects totaling 663 miles in length were completed and 541 miles went under construction in May, bringing the total under construction to nearly 15,000 miles and the mileage in completed projects to 17,038. Won't Attack Direct Primaries. The direct' primary method of nominating candidates for public office has been the subject of a good many informal conferences among Republicans here during the last few weeks. As a result of these conferences the party in power will not lead an attack on the direct primary at this time. Instructions are to go out to Republican state leaders that state conventions will do well lead an attack on the direct primary laws. The better plan, the instructions will say, will be to declare for revision of existing laws with the view to the correction of some of the weaknesses of those laws. The primary system is not so popular as it was a few years ago. Men who had something to do with its introduction are now inclined to favor a return to the convention system, but the politicians—and particularly the politicians who are at this time up on the front row in the Republican party—are convinced that the masses of the voters feel it is to their interest to have the primary system retained. "The present is an inopportune time to demand a return to the convention system everywhere," say the Republican leaders. With the Republicans disinclined to go on record in favor of a repeal of state primary laws, the subject will hardly become an issue in the campaign next fall. The Democrats are planning to stand by the primary system. It would seem that the trend would naturally be toward campaign discussion of plans for improving the various state primary systems. Next January the legislatures of about two-thirds of the states will meet, and, undoubtedly, many proposals relating to primary election laws will be made. There is a growing demand that the state systems be made uniform as far as possible; and there is a call for the simplification of some of the state laws on the subject. Primaries Disregarded in 1920 Primaries Disregarded in 1920. Two years from now another pre-convention national campaign will be under way, and the primary laws in the states that survive next year's round of legislatures will be in force then. In 1920 the presidential primaries conducted under state laws, although they aroused much interest and called out a large vote, did not have anything to do with the nominations made by the two old parties. At both Chicago and San Francisco the verdict or mandate of the primaries was disregarded. The professional politicians of the old school in the old parties do not wish to be bothered with the presidential preference primary, and it may be that, in spite of the hands-off policy the Republicans have decided to follow for the present, there will be a demand on the next January legislatures that states repeal laws providing for presidential preference primaries. There is a good deal of agitation for a federal presidential preference primary law—agitation that comes from the progressives in both the old parties—but there are many obstacles in the way of the enactment of such a law. The outlook for it is not as good as it appeared a few years ago. Cabinet Opinion Divided. No attempt is made to conceal the fact that the President's official family is divided on the question as to whether the existing primary or any sort of a primary system should be retained. John W. Weeks, secretary of war, revealed the situation in the cabinet when, in a speech in Cleveland recently, he declared his opposition to the existing primary system. The secretary did not pretend to speak for President Harding; that was not necessary, for the President has on several occasions spoken for himself. He does not like the existing primary system, but he is enough of a politician to realize that the present is probably not the time for making the system a political issue, and so he is in sympathy with the party decision to keep hands off the system for the present at least. At least two members of the cabinet, Charles Evans Hughes, secretary of state, and Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, are ardent advocates of the primary method of nominating candidates and they are in favor of improving the present state primary laws. Secretary Hughes was, of course, the father of the primary legislation in New York state. He had it out with the bosses on this subject while governor, and he has never charged his mind about the wisdom of enacting wise primary legislation. After the election of Mr. Harding as President, and before the inauguration, Mr. Hughes made a speech in Indianapolis in which he severely criticised the political forces that were seeking to destroy the primary. That speech was made at a time when it was generally understood that the reactionaries in the old political parties were planning a raid on the state primary laws. Keeping Umbrella Fit. "If you want to add two years to the life of your umbrella," remarked an umbrella man, as he replaced a broken rib, "put a drop of oil now and then on each Joint. The oil will prevent the water from getting in and rusting the metal. "When your umbrella is wet, don't close it and stand it in a corner. If there isn't space enough to open it, stand the umbrella on the handle and thus allow the water to run off the eight ribs. When you stand it on the peg you force the water to run to one point and prevent it from running off quickly. This often results in the water getting through the material and rotting the stretching."

THE political Sunday clothes are being taken from the old closet of moss-backism, where they have been permitted to hang for the last two years, and are being brushed up and the cobwebs removed with a view to appearing before the voters this fall in their best dress. Democrats and Republicans allike are busy "sprucing up" these days in the hope of being returned the favorite at the final election in November. With this objective in view the various parties have begun to hold their county assemblies, leading up to the big state assemblies later on. As of old and quite naturally, too, the center of interest is about the governorship. Plenty of material is being offered by both of the major parties, some good, some mediocre and some of it being simply impossible. There is no dearth of candidates for any of the offices to be filled, so the people will have a wide range of choices to select from at the September primary election. The COLORADO STATESMAN expects to have a voice in the political affairs of this state this fall, but not so much regarding candidates as to the issues that may be defined in the party platforms. We state without hesitancy that we stand for conservatism as against radicalism, and we believe that the electorate of Colorado will emphatically endorse the party that makes the more open declaration for industrial peace and sane methods in the conduct of the state's affairs. Colorado has too long been the half-way house and political experimental station for wild-eyed reformers, quacks and radicals. We have been able to keep our feet on the ground for the past few years and we intend to advocate this policy in the approaching election. A fair index of party sentiments and leanings will be reflected in the assembly gatherings of both county and state in the next few weeks. Should both the Republican and Democratic parties choose conservative candidates and enunciate principles of a conservative nature, then the choice would mainly hinge on the personal fitness of a candidate. But if Colorado radicals capture either of the big parties at the primary, as they are planning to do, then it at once becomes the duty of the more soberminded to band together in a common cause and make certain that the industrial peace so manifest in recent years be maintained at all hazards. And while we are giving consideration to what the assemblies may or may not do, we again wonder what our own group will do towards getting a representative in the next Legislature. We believe Republican success is almost certain this fall, and a member of our group on the ticket would ride in upon the wave. We have lots of suitable material here that fit in admirably in Colorado's Legislature. Let it not be supposed for a moment that the white race has a monopoly upon qualified law-makers. We have able men and women, too, for that matter, who could do high credit to the Negro citizenry of this state within the legislative halls. We can have a representative if we but will. Let some worthy citizen toss a hat in the ring and then the rest of us get out and boost with all our might. There cannot be a division of our strength if we have the slightest hopes of winning. And in the case of a race representative, as in any other, he or she must be of sound, conservative judgment. None other need apply. THERE is something of an infinite touch of the human equation in the mandate of the Imperial Wizard that henceforth Klansmen in the state of Georgia must go about their mysterious and sometimes nefarious duties with a mask. It remains to be seen how generally this order will be observed and in kind of spirit it may be received. If the invisible empire must now become visible; if the Klan must come out in the open, discarding its cloak of fearsome regalia; if members must now reveal their identity to the world and assume whatever responsibility goes with a membership in that organization, will it not, in a final analysis, lose much of its charm? During the months of its brief and stormy revival the Klan has been charged with many crimes and deeds most indefensible. Hiding in comparative security behind a mask, "covered up," as it were, it has in many instances proven an asylum for the cowardly and evil minded. Perhaps its reputed rapid growth has been much due to the fact that men could be one beneath the hood and quite another thing when met in the ordinary business affairs of the day. Members could be their REAL selves within the invisible government and carrying only an assumed respectability when met in the office or on the street—mayhap in the church. After all, there is entirely too much masquerading in this life in ways other than those offered by the Ku Klux Klan. And it would augur much for the happiness and contentment of the world if an order that a wholesale discarding of masks take place could be made effective. We all wear them to a more or less degree. There is the mask of deceit and the mask of selfishness; there is the friendship mask, the political mask, the society mask, the mask of Christianity and the "holier than thou" mask. Civilization itself is sometimes regarded as masquerading behind a thin veneering which can be easily removed, and reveal the savagery and bestiality within man. So if we would strictly heed the beautiful suggestion of Alexander Pope, to "Know then thyself, presume not God to scan," there would be a more general unmasking going on in the world every day than could be possible through the simple edict of an Imperial Wizard. Were capital to discard its mask of merciless greed and selfishness; were labor to discard its mask of arrogance and criminal avarice, would the nation now be within the throes of an industrial upheaval that fairly threatens stagnation and distress? Then again the church could find convenient hours for a general face-washing that would leave a more purified countenance of applied Christianity than abounds in the world just at present, for too often the very acme of selfishness, which is but another name for hypocrisy, hides behind the mask of the church. We also have the POLITICAL MASK, cunning, scheming and resourceful; sometimes corrupt and at all times to be watched. Political parties and groups founded upon the whims, aims and purposes of man carry with them from the very first all of the imperfections known to human agencies. There are times when an outraged people turn in their despair to the ringing pleas of the reformer, only to find that in a short while the "reformer" is sadly in need of reform. For downright sinister motives, for ways that are strange and paths that are devious, the mask worn by what is called society easily takes first rank. And we are not going to confine our observations to the little backbitings and petty jealousies that crop out following a fashionable pink tea; we are looking beyond the social ties formed by "cross-the-fence" gossip; we will not stop alone within the club or sewing circle, inviting as the field may be, but we refer to society at large, that which builds cities and empires. Society existed before the church, before governments were formed and nations arose to power. But oh, the element of deceit and jealous ambitions that has grown with its growth. Society or the world as we see it today is Janus-faced and wears the hideous mask of a Dr. Jeykill and Mr. Hyde daily. Can it be discarded; can men be their real selves; can they come out in the open free of hate, free of prejudice, free of deceit and clear of mind and conscience as respects their fellow-man? It can only be done, if at all, by a willingness that our real identity be an open book to the world, to MAN and to GOD. LIFE'S DAILY MASK. After all, there is entire or than those offered by the happiness and content of discarding of masks taken to a more or less degr selfishness; there is the f fick, the mask of Christian itself is sometimes rega which can be easily removed. So if we would strict, to "Know then thyself the general unmasking gible through the simple, hard its mask of merciles mask of arrogance and in the throes of an indu distress?

POWERFUL INFLUENCES ARE AT WORK TO ARRANGE INTER- STATE PEACE PARLEY. Washington.—A meeting of executives of 148 of the major railroads of the United States will be called in New York to consider a plan for settling the strike now in progress. T. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the Association of Railway Executives, announced here, after a conference with President Harding. Mr. Cuyler added, however, that "no definite basis" for strike settlement was ready to be placed before the meeting. His conference with the President, he said, had been devoted to a general survey of the situation. While Mr. Cuyler was positive in his statement that the basis for proposed settlement of the strike had not been definitely drawn up, earlier reports indicated that at least a tentative plan had resulted from the conference between President Harding and leaders of the various railroad labor groups. President Harding has made no specific request to the railroad executives, Mr. Cuyler said, when asked if the question of seniority rights had been brought forward at the conference with a view to influencing some railroads to reconsider their stand against returning these rights to striking shopmen. Philadelphia, Pa.—Powerful influences, governmental and otherwise, are understood to be at work to arrange an interstate joint wage conference and thereby bring to an end the soft-coal strike. John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers, would not indicate where and how these influences are being exerted, but he let it be known that he had "every reason to believe that an interstate joint conference of the central competitive fields will be arranged within a few days." Union leaders made known that as soon as they have assurance that sufficient tonnage will be represented at an interstate conference to make a basic wage scale possible, a call for the meeting will be issued at once. Such a call, it was said, may come any day. The statement of President Lewis said that "it is undoubtedly true that to all purposes and effect the mine workers have won their present strike, and it is almost universally recognized in industrial and financial circles throughout the country that no wage reductions can be applied in the mining industry."

The young and pretty Parisienne plaintiff was reported to be in retirement "somewhere in New York," but her counsel declared they would have no difficulty in substantiating the charges that the eldest son of Baron Rothschild broke a promise of marriage. Elks' Silver Is Recovered. Boulder Colo.—Sixteen hundred dollars' worth of silverware and linen, said to have been stolen from the Elks home at Los Angeles, Calif., was recovered by Longmont policemen at a cabin in the South St. Vrain canon, following the arrest of Fred Haley, restaurant man, and his adopted son, Arthur Ploof. Ploof was brought to Boulder in order to separate him from Haley, who is said to have made complete confessions, exonerating his adopted son of any connection with a series of crimes.

WELL-KNOWN BUSINESS MAN DIES. EMANUEL LEWIS, late owner of the Sanitary Grocery and Market, 725 East Twenty-sixth avenue, died Saturday, July 15, after undergoing an operation for intestinal troubles at the Park Avenue Hospital. Born in Chariton county, Missouri, 35 years ago, he was later employed by the Rio Grande Southern, and afterwards came to Colorado, residing at Telluride, and finally in Denver, where he entered the grocery business, purchasing the same from his partner, Misher. Quiet and unassuming, also very charitable, as he always gave his services to those in need, Mr. Lewis became very popular, having won the respect of his fellow citizens. He was a trustee of the Scott Methodist Episcopal Church and was held in high esteem by the Rev. S. A. Stripling, the pastor, and the congregation. He leaves to mourn his sudden death a wife, a father and stepmother, and a host of friends in Colorado and Missouri. The remains of the deceased was taken to Glascow, Mo., for interment last week Wednesday, accompanied by his wife. To the sorrowing widow and other relatives the COLORADO STATESMAN extends its deep sympathy, commending them to the consolation that only Heaven can offer in this bereaved moment.

William Gibson, resident of Denver for many years and a faithful employee of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, died suddenly last week Tuesday, after becoming ill on the way to work. Mr. Gibson was very popular in church and fraternal circles, being a member of Campbell A. M. E. Church and a member of the Knights of Pythias, Damon Lodge No. 5, and its auxiliaries; the Uniform Rank and the Band. He was highly respected by his employers and was looked upon by his friends and associates as a very devoted husband. He leaves to mourn his death a loving wife, three sisters and three brothers, and numerous friends. Funeral services were held from Campbell Church, 1:30 p. m. last Sunday. Knowing the deceased for a number of years as a man who in his own way contributed to the cause of community betterment and the progress of his people it is with heartfelt sorrow that THE COLORADO STATESMAN joins his many friends in offering sympathy to his bereaved wife and other relatives in this very trying period of their lives.

Dear Editor: I am not given to running into print for commending an individual for good services, as I always believe in approaching in person and telling what I have to say, but when public men especially owners or editors of our news organs are fearless in giving expression to their conscientious opinion, which is representative of the masses, we cannot help from indulging in such a public form. Your editorial entitled "Rubbing It In," and your front page article, "The Negro's Debt to Lincoln," appearing in issue of July 22, have been published at a very opportune moment, as while I am an admirer of W. E. B. Du Bois, his educational ability, etc., and give him credit for his work with the N. A. A. C. P., of which I am a member ever since its foundation, yet I cannot condone the wrong he has done in his mud-slinging actions toward Abraham Lincoln, a character whom the world cannot help from paying honor to his memory and his great accomplishments for this nation. Unfortunately for us many of our leaders lead after a few years of usefulness in paths "where angels fear to tread," and whether it is due to the usual conceit that attends them after we have supported them to the point of world recognition, or playing for home at a time they think most advantageous to their financial or political ambition, I cannot say; but in my opinion, Mr. Editor, every Negro editor and proprietor of a newspaper should express themselves as you have done, so that it can be clearly known that Mr. Du Bois' statement is not supported by our press or our people. Our people are willing to be led by educated members of their race, but when leadership begins to jeopardize the masses of whom we form a part, it's time to denounce in very definite terms such kind of leaders.

A visit to the Stanley Hotels was very much enjoyed through the courtesy of Mr. Curtis Harris, general entertainer and information agent of the hotels, who is always ready to do the needful in interesting visitors to the Estes Park.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Harding Asks That Coal Mines Be Reopened and Promises Federal Protection. URGES GOVERNORS TO HELP Negotiations to End Railway Strike Run Against Seniority Snag—France Consents to Moratorium for Germany—Conference at The Hague Ends in BY EDWARD W. PICKARD PRESIDENT HARDING'S last plan for the peaceful termination of the coal strike failed of acceptance by the miners and by a considerable number of the operators. It was that the mines should be reopened under the old scale and that a commission should arbitrate a national wage scale. A large majority of the operators agreed to the plan, but it could not go through unless the acceptance was unanimous on both sides. Then the President put forward his proposal for prevention of the fuel famine with which the country is threatened. This is that the mines be reopened at once and with whatever labor can be procured, and that the state governments in the respective states protect these workers and give assurance of the maintenance of order. This Mr. Harding set forth in a long telegram to the governors of the states, and he promised them the "prompt and full support of the federal government whenever and wherever you find your own agencies of law and order inadequate to meet the situation." Responses by the governors were in the main highly satisfactory. That of Governor Kendall of Iowa, is typical: "As chief executive of the state of Iowa I pledge every resource of the state to the support of the program you have inaugurated for the relief of the fuel situation." From two governors—Morrison of North Carolina and Ritchie of Maryland—cane responses expressing outright dissent from the President's program. The former said in part: "Your position is practically to use the power of the government against the strikers, and they will naturally have little confidence in the impartiality or fairness of soldiers or other agencies of force, however good the reason for such a stand may be." Ritchie declined to take immediate action, saying he would not send the Maryland National Guard to the coal fields until all peaceful methods had failed. He did not state what peaceful methods remain to be tried. Governor Allen of Kansas said the industrial court had ordered the resumption of mining and that about 50 per cent of the state's needs was now being produced. In Illinois there is a situation, previously described, which seems to block the Harding plan in that state. The law provides that no one shall work as a miner without first obtaining a certificate of competency, and no miner can get such a certificate unless he can submit evidence that he has had at least two years' experience as a miner or with a miner. Moreover, the 90,000 miners of the state are 100 per cent organized. There had been some chance that their president, Frank Farrington, would at the proper time push the idea of seperate state agreement, but operators said this hope was dispelled by the springing of the Washington plan. North Dakota is confronted with a crisis that is causing almost a panic among the residents, and the conditions there are peculiar. The state depends almost wolly on lignite from the mines within its borders. The miners, according to Governor Nestos, quit on the national call and not because of any local grievances. The lignite fields, he says, have no economic bearing on the bituminous or anthracite fields, and he believes if they could be placed in a separate category and the operators permitted to deal directly with the district leaders, "the mines could be reopened peacefully rather than by methods which might result in violence." Nestos asked President Harding to use such means as he deems consistent to persuade the United Mine Workers of America to settle the North Dakota problem in that way. President Lewis of the mine workers was not disturbed, apparently, by the promulgation of the President's plan. He said that an immediate result of any attempt to operate mines by non-union labor would be the quitting of the maintenance workers, which would mean the speedy flooding of the mines. This would need no strike order. Lewis added that there were more men out than when the strike started sixteen weeks ago and that they would continue to refrain from work, "in peaceful and - orderly fashion." That their methods are not always peaceful was demonstrated at Cliftonville, W. Va., where a large band of marching stilkers from Pennsylvania encountered a sheriff's posse and killed the sheriff and four other men, FOR several days it looked as if the shopmen's strike might be settled amicably through the negotiations instituted by Chairman Hooper of the labor board. Assurance was given, specifically to the maintenance of way men, that the board would grant re-hearings on wage disputes, and it was believed this not only would keep those workers from going out but also would be made applicable to the other disaffected unions. Moreover, President Grable of the maintenance men said Senator Cummins, who is chairman of the interstate commerce committee of the senate, had advised him that "he is going to hold hearings immediately on disputed points of the transportation act, principally to ascertain how the law may be amended so that the living wage principle would be made clear and so that every employee would be guaranteed a living wage." All this looked very auspicious, and then up jumped the question of seniority and put the negotiations on the blink. The shopmen insisted that if they returned to work their seniority rights must be restored, and the carriers flatly refused to yield to this demand. Both sides set forth their arguments on this point, which have been heard before in many a strike, and as both stood firm, Chairman Hooper issued a statement saying that the negotiations had had no result "and are now at an end." Added to the seniority barrier to peace was Jewell's demand for a national board of adjustment. Though it was believed the strike of the maintenance of way men would be averted, the numbers of the strikers were increased by several thousands in various parts of the country. There were many disorderly incidents, but none of great moment. The government's determination that the mails shall not be interfered with had its effect and Attorney General Daugherty said they were delayed in only a few localities. He added: "It appears, however, that there is a relationship between the railroad situation and the coal strike. Whether this relationship is conspired or inspired I do not care to say at present. One thing is certain; the fault is not all on one side." This lends strength to the belief, expressed in Washington, that the policy the government will follow in dealing with the railway situation depends largely on the results of its action in relation to the coal strike. IN CHICAGO the employees of the surface and elevated roads were all ready to quit work and spent much of the week awaiting the permission of their international president, W. D. Mahon, who was in the east. His delay was taken to mean that negotiations might be resumed and the strike averted, but before this reaches the reader it is likely the people of Chicago will be making their way about as best they can without the aid of the street cars and elevated trains. FRANCE has yielded so far as to consent to a moratorium for Germany on cash payments for from three to, six months. In return she has demanded that the allies maintain the strictest supervision over German government finances, being allowed to inspect all financial projects before they are sent to the reichstag and before they are put into execution. The members of the reparations commission are completing the details of the arrangement. Although Germany can not pay much cash until it has been accumulated by the sale of German products abroad, she can deliver materials to the allies, and France hopes to get in that way a large part of the 900,000,000 francs she is entitled to this year. The Loucheur-Rathenau accord, reached nearly a year ago but held in abeyance, facilitates this delivery of materials and went into effect last week. THE council of the League of Nations is in session in London mainly for the purpose of settling all matters relating to the mandates. Its task was made comparatively easy by the reaching of complete agreements between the United States and Great Britain and France concerning certain of the mandated regions. The rights of Americans are said to be fully safeguarded. FULFILLING predictions, the conference at The Hague has come to an end without results. Russian delegates, after all their stubbornness and after refusal, to meet with a committee, at a plenary session went so far as to offer to submit proposals to Moscow under which the bolshevkii would agree to recognize debts to foreign nationals as well as to furnish satisfactory compensation for seized property through private negotiations, regardless of whether or not credits were received. But they spolled all this by notifying the British delegates that the soviet government would expect immediate de jure recognition. Immediately thereafter the allies and neutrals adopted a resolution definitely ending the conference. The allies and neutrals, finding all thoughts of a general agreement with Russia futile, did not see any use in risking a break among themselves, but each reserved the right to resume separate negotiations with Russia after The Hague conference. Litvinoff, head of the soviet delegation, said: "Russia will attend no more conferences, Genoa and The Hague have been enough for us." PREMIER LENINE of Russia has been killed again, this time according to a Swedish correspondent in Riga. His story is that Lenine was poisoned on a train when on his way to a Caucasian bathing resort and his body was thrown into the River Don. An accomplice of the assassin is said to be impersonating Lenine at the resort. Soviet officials say the premier is in Moscow and almost well. IRISH FREE STATE officials announce that their forces are now in control of twelve counties but are strongly opposed in Donegal, Sligo, Galway, Limerick and Tipperary. Waterford, Cork, Kerry and Mayo, they assert, are in "subjection" to the irregulars. Waterford was taken by regulars toward the close of the week, and In Limerick the rebels were cooped up in the barracks and King John castle after some heavy fighting. The two assassins of Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson were tried in London, convicted and sentenced to death, the case being handled with a neatness and dispatch that arouses the envy of those who contemplate the outrageous criminal court procedure in the United States. SCORE yet another victory for the progressives in the Republican party. In the Nebraska primaries Robert B. Howell, former Bull Mooser, was nominated for the United States senate, defeating the "regular" candidate, Representative Jeffries, who is classed as a stand-patter. Senator Hitchcock easily won a re-nomination by the Democrats. AMNESTY for the 87 so-called political prisoners now in federal penitentiaries was asked of President Harding by a delegation of sentimentalists last week. They carried a petition with a million signatures. The President told them he would never pardon any criminal who was guilty of preaching the destruction of the government by force and consequently would not consider general amnesty. His response will meet with the approval of all right-thinking Americans. HARDING BLAMES CRISIS ON MEN PRESIDENT TELLS RAIL STRIK ERS TO RETURN TO ASSAILS UNION CLAIM HARDING SUGGESTS WORKERS ACCEPT LABOR BOARD DECISION PENDING ARBITRATION. Washington.—Responsibility for further interference with transportation and with production of vitally needed coal was placed upon striking railroad employés and miners by President Harding in again sug_esting that they return to work under conditions already suggested by him while the reasonableness of their demands was being threshed out by the agencies set up for that purpose. Replying to a telegram sent him by J. C. Cleve Dean, chairman of the Railway Employees Publicity Association, Chattanooga, Tenn., charging that the administration was "attempting to put American labor under the gun" by its policy toward the industrial disturbance, Mr. Harding said: "Striking railroad workers exercise their rights of freedom in seeking to hinder necessary transportation of the country, notwithstanding provisions made by law for consideration of any just grievance; and the striking miners seek to prevent the production of coal necessary, to common welfare, notwithstanding the offer of an agency to make an impartial settlement; while the men who choose to work in response to the call of the country are exercising their like right and at the same time are making their contribution to our common American welfare." "No one has attempted or proposed to draft free men into either the railway or mining service, or suggested coercion under military force. The military forces of free America are never used for such a purpose. Their service is only that of preventing lawlessness and violence. That same unchallenged freedom which permits you and your associates to decline to work is no less the heritage of the free American who chooses to accept employment under the terms proposed. "I invite you now to pass judgment on the failure of the mine workers to accept the awards of an able and impartial commission in determining the merits of the dispute between coal miners and coal operators, and I invite you to urge the striking railway workmen to accept the decision of the American railroad labor board, acting under authority of the law, which must be supreme, and return to work under that decision, until you and I, and everyone else interested in American welfare, may join in asking the railroad labor board to give a rehearing on any question concerning which there is reasonable doubt about the correctness or the justice of the decision made." Denying the charge made by Mr. Dean, the President declared that "if you mean to challenge the righteousness of free men to be protected in their lawful pursuits against interference and violence, I will be glad to join you in submitting that question to the decision of the American people." Irish Regulars Continue Gains. Irish Regulars Continue Gains. Dublin.—Additional large areas in the west of Ireland have been occupied by the Free State forces, before whom the Republican insurgents are retiring precipitately. Claremorris. County Mayo, is the latest town to be freed from the Irregulars. Decision Aids Western Slope. Washington.—The decision of the government, put into effect through orders issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission, that food and fuel shall have priority in movement of freight over the railroads in the present emergency, will meet with satisfaction from the fruit and vegetable growers of Delta and the entire western slope of Colorado. Colorado senators have been receiving telegraphic appeals from Delta, Montrose, Cedaredge and other points in that part of Colorado for more cars. Two Die in Traffic Jam. New York.—Two persons were killed in heavy street traffic congestion due to the stoppage of the elevated and surface lines in Brooklyn. A 9-year-old boy was run over and killed while dodging between automobiles carrying passengers who had left stalled trains, and a man was run over and killed while attempting to board a truck on which a dozen of his fellow workers were being taken to their homes. New York.—A message from her dead father urging her to "make an end of all this business," prompted Mrs. Minnie Reisler, wife of "John the Barber" Reisler, widely known sporting man, to shoot her sister, Bertha Katz, police quoted her as saying. Miss Katz was shot in her home here. Detectives indicated they believed Mrs. Reisler's statement, although Miss Katz, in a deathbed statement, told them that Morris Reisler, a son of Mrs. Reisler, fired the shots which killed her.

DIFFERENT BERRIES USEFUL Hecipe Given Herewith Can Be Varied According to the Fruits Available —Red Raspberry Flavor Will Dominate. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) ‘The need for a refreshing fruit punch begins abont the time that the popular gathering known as a “straw- berry festival” 1s in season, and con- tinues long after strawberries are gone and other fruits must be depended on. The recipe given below can be varied somewhat according to the fruits avail- able. If there are not enough straw- berries on hand, part blackberry and part raspberry Julce may be used. As the season advances other fruit juices may be substituted according to the preferences of the persons mixing the punch. A relatively small amount of red raspberry flavor will dominate a great deal of strawberry or other fruit Juices. About the same proportion of lemons, sugar, ginger ale, and other Ingredients should be used, but varia- tions in the amounts of sugar anud lem- on juice may be necessary, according Sag ke 4 > K Ps oP ~ oo, ae pies ‘Nae SN ca ee mi ite ha, reget RB SER Strawberry Festival Time Demands a Cool and Refreshing Punch. to the ripeness and character of the fruit used and the tastes of those to be served. ‘This recipe 1s recommended by the United States Department ‘of Agriculture.

Crush the strawberries with a po- tato masher, add 2 pounds of sugar, let stand 2 or 3 hours or overnight. (About 6 quart boxes will be needed to make 10 cupfuls of juice.) ‘Then heat rapidly in order to make the Juice flow, for 2 or 3 minutes over a hot flame, stirring constantly; be careful not to cook long enough to destroy the fresh fruit flavor. Allow to drip through a jelly bag in order to secure a bright red clear Juice. Combine with other ingredients except the carbonated waters, and let stand for an hour or two, In the refrigerator, if possible. When ready to serve, add fee as may be necessary, and the Apollinaris wa- ter and ginger ‘ale last of all. Salt Intensifies Flavor. ‘The small quantity of salt called for 1s to intensify the fruit flavors. It does not otherwise change the flavor of the beverage. ‘The sugar and water should be boiled together for 5 min- utes and cooled before adding. This syrup will blend with the other in- gredients better than will ordinary granulated sugar. The amount given will serve 60 persons, MAKE BUTTERMILK LEMONADE Refreshing Beverage May Be Made by * Adding Lemon Juice—Some Variations Given. Buttermilk lemonade can be made by adding to each glass of buttermilk two tablespoonfuls of sugar. The whey from cheese making may be utilized in a beverage as well as but- termilk. Whey Lemonade and Punch. 1 quart whey. Slices of lemon or 6 tablespoonfuis su- a little grated or gar. diced rind, nutmeg, Juice of 2 lemons. or cinnamion. Mix, chill, and serve as a beverage. Variations—Double the quantity of lemon juice and of sugar, and add other fruit juices and a little fruit cut in small pieces. This transforms whey lemonade into whey punch. Set the punch away to chill and ripen; serve with crushed ice if desired. Rhubarb, pineapple, grape, currant and cherry fulces lend themselves well to whey punch. A sprig of freshly crushed mint is sometimes added. Nutmeg or einnamon will overcome any character- istic whey flavor. Whey punch may be frozen if desired. LABELS FOR CANNED GOODS ARE FAVORED Information Will Be Wanted Dur- ing Winter Season. Not Always Easy Matter to Remember History of Each Jar or Can— Printed Slips Should Have All Necessary Data. After a busy ten or twelve hours of canning, a woman Is tnciined to think that anything else added on to the day's work would be just a little too much. However, tomorrow 1s an- other day and one can then usually find an hour or so In which to label all yesterday's cans with the Information that will be wanted next winter, It would seem wise to do this, ac cording to the office of home economies of the United States Department of Agriculture, for though at the time of canning we may think we shall always recognize every jar and remember its history, when winter comes we may often be doubtful, until we open a Jar, whether it holds blackberries or black raspberries, or whether a certain glass of Jelly is plum or currant. Labels may either be purchased or made at home by cutting plain paper in pleces about 1 by 2 inches; they should have all the necessary data printed or written on them and then they should be pasted on the jars at @ uniform distance from the bottom. For example, two such labela might read: prt tte eee ee eeee ne neee: HH PEACHES : t COLD PACK THIN SIRUP ' i SEPTEMBER, 1921. ; t GRAPE JELLY ' ’ 1ST EXTRACTION ' 1 SEPTEMBER, 1921. ' Peee oe conse eeseea Fruit, vegetables, and other canned goods should not only be carefully put up and labeled, but they should also be carefully stored. ‘This means that a clean, cool, dark place should be pro- vided. ‘A cupboard with strong, rather shallow shelves and close-fitting doors will protect the products from dust, dirt, and light. If the shelves are wide enough to hold only a row, or at the most two rows of cans, it will be easy to find any particular can which one may happen to be looking for, and such an arrangement will also make the detection of any spoiled goods an easy matter. Moreover, with a closed cupboard such as this, it will not be necessary to wrap gliss Jars of strawberries peas, and other fruits and vegetables that fade when exposed to the light. BISCUIT CUTTER IS USEFUL No Special Directions Are Needed for Using Little Tool for Mixing Faiand loan, For combining shortening with flour In making pie crust, cutting it in with knives is a hygienic improvement that is considered better than the time-hon- ored method of mixing it in with the tips of the fingers. Moreover, aside from hygienic considerations, han dling the dough too much makes a ‘tough crust. __ The office of home economies of the ‘United States Department of Agricul- ‘ture has lately employed a third meth- od of mixing fat and flour, which is to cut in the fat with the biscuit cut- ‘ter. No special directions are needed te ‘guide the cook who would adopt this ‘simple little tool for this purpose. ‘The ‘fat is added to the sifted flour and ‘salt and the two are chopped together | more or less thoroughly, depending upon the quality of pie crust desired. ‘The water Is added and the biscuit cut- ter is used again to combine the water with the fat-and-flour mixture. Having discovered one new way of using an old tool, the office of home economies saw these other possibil- ities: Use it to mix fat and flour for baking- powder biscuits.

Pretty but transient styles are whisked in and out as the seasons come and pass, but there are certain superlative hats for children that do not belong in the transient class. They are the fine milans and leghorns that return with each spring and the velours, beavers and exquisite felts that come with the fall. They trimmed with handsome sashes of ribbon. Some frocks make us long to turn the clock back far enough to allow us to wear them appropriately. We would like to begin life over again at the flapper stage and have another chance to make the most of that delicate simplicity that belongs to the apparel of young girlhood.

Little variations in them bring them into line with new style tendencies, from season to season, as in color or combinations of color and in the manipulation of their subtle and becoming lines. Nearly always they are trimmed with ribbons, but there are exceptions to the rule and novelties of the day and hour, that are found in keeping with them, are appropriated for them. The ribbon trimming also is varied when new ideas are introduced, but, aside from these minor changes, fine milans, leghorns, felts, beavers, velours, in shapes and styles very like those shown here, are staple things in millinery. Plain crepe in dark colors was chosen for the two youthful dresses illustrated. In one of them a plain blouse fastens on the left shoulder and down the left side under flat tassels and cabochons. It has three-quarter length sleeves, fashionably slashed, and finished with a binding. A full skirt is allowed floating panels at each side that fall below its hemline and the soft sash is made of the crepe.
