LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY A NEGRO IN NEWS Dr. Moton's Observation Is That Negro Criminals Have Easier Access to News Columns Than Any of Fifty Negro Bank Presidents By Albon L. Holsey, Secretary to the Principal, Tuskegee Institute. (Reprinted From The Fourth Estate.) FIVE newspaper men of varying experiences sat down together to discuss the question of giving the American reading public through the regular news channels, certain facts showing the progress and forward strides of the Negro race. Two of these men were Negroes and the others were friends of the race. No group ever came together with more hope and none was more sincere and earnest in its desire to render real service. Although these men have written continuously concerning the race problem, not one of them ever wrote an unkind or an embittered line; and not one had ever knowingly violated any of the ethical standards of newspaper writing. And yet, as these men unfolded their several experiences it was plainly seen that each one had somehow run into the same "blind alley"—that the great reading mass of America is not interested in the Negro excerpt as a criminal. One member of the group related a conversation he had with the editor of a Southern daily paper in which the editor said that he frequently published news of Negro achievements in his paper, because of his personal interest in the welfare of the Negro race. "I invariably receive letters of protest from our readers," said the editor, "when something of this sort has appeared in our columns, so I have been led to believe that the Negro is not generally accepted as news, except in crime." "After all," continued this same editor, "newspapers must have subscribers to enable them to run, and we must either please the majority of our subscribers or close up shop. So far as I am personally concerned, I am willing to give our readers as much of the news about successful Negroes as they will stand, but in the last analysis, they must be the final judge." Another of this group said that in all of his experiences with reporters, editors and desk men, covering a period of fourteen years, the average number of representative Negroes known by them was three and that in most cases these were only vaguely known. He also found that few of these news gatherers knew the local Negroes of standing in their communities, except in rare instances. Still another stated that he had been reliably informed that one of the moving picture concerns which issues, at regular intervals, films of current news, has an unwritten law in its office that the Negro is not news except in crime or in buffoonery, such as watermelon eating contests. He further said that the records of this office showed that when the Negro had been featured in any other way than indicated above, frequently exhibitors had themselves deleted that part of the film because their audiences were not interested. At no time in the conference of these five men was there one word of denunciation uttered. They were, rather, depressed, and one recalled an utterance of Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, who said, in addressing a group of white newspaper men recently, that it was an unfortunate situation in America VOL. XXVIII. that a Negro criminal had easier access to the newspaper column than the presidents of any of the fifty or more Negro banks. With enlarged opportunities for educational advancement in the South, the Negro is rapidly becoming a reading and thinking citizen and he is quite willing to stand on his record as a useful American if the reading public will study both sides of the picture and accordingly measure its judgment. KANSAS EDITOR DEFENDS NEGRO Says That Whites Think It Funny to See Colored People Playing Golf and Engaging in Other White Sports. Chicago, Aug. 11.—William Allen White, nationally famed daily newspaper editor of Emporia, Kansas, in a syndicate article published recently in a number of daily papers, told the "white people where to get off," so far as "poking fun" at colored people is concerned. Said Mr. White: "At Westfield, N. J., a colored golf club has been established and nine-hole course laid out. A colored colony there seems to warrant the golf course. The item that this course is laid out will cause a million giggles to sizzle across the country. Cartoonists will make funny pictures of it. Vaudeville artists will do sketches about it. Something exquisitely funny seems to excite the white race when it sees the colored race doing things which are ordinary parts of the day's work and play to the white people. It is as thought the elephant should drive an auto or a horse play the piano. "The reason for this visibility of the white man at the black man's human activities is obvious and it is not credit to the white man. He thinks it is funny to see the black man doing things that normal human beings do, because the white man does not think of his dark-skinned fellow-traveler on the planet as a human companion. The white man considers any colored man—black, brown, red, yellow, or maroon—as an animal. The anthropological conceit of the white man is ponderous, unbelievable, vastly amusing to the gods. "Why should not the black man play golf if his economic status gives him leisure for golf? Why should he not have a motor car and a country house if he can afford it? Why giggle at the normal activities of men whose skin differs from our own? Something of the same psychological reason is being the fact that we middle-class people make merry over the fact that the worker in the mines or shops or furnaces wears a silk shirt or rents a house with a bath or rides to work in a car. Why shouldn't he? Is he an elephant doing stunts? Is he a horse playing the piano? What's the joke if he develops the same desires and aspirations that we do? And who in God's name are we anyway?" DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 19 1922 State Hist & Nat Society State House ABLE PEOPLE'S PA RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA Administration Finds Places for Competent Colored Men Administration Finds Places for Competent Colored Men White House Breaks Long Spell in Race Appointments President Sticks to Policy Promised—Party Harmony Latest Salvation. (By Ike Murray.) Washington, D. C., Aug. S.—Last week an official surprise was sprung upon Washington, when it became definitely known that the long silence maintained by the White House in failure to reward colored men for service rendered during the last Presidential campaign, was partly broken by the appointment of three prominent colored men to important federal positions. Those who received assignments were: Robert Wadsworth, as deputy collector of revenue for the First district of New York; Franklin W. Morton, junior assistant accountant, U. S. Shipping, and J. B. Hawkins, assistant counsel, U. S. Shipping Board. Senator Calder of New York was the one who turned the trick and landed these above named jobs. It is generally felt that the administration will from time to time appoint colored men to such places when capable and the opportunity occurs. This assurance should at least set to rest for a while the persistent rumor that the colored politician is a "back-door" possibility. The policy of the President, relating to colored men holding lucrative berths under the government, has not been fully appreciated, and while it is charged one or two attempts have been made to keep the ball rolling, sufficiently to produce a pat on the shoulder effect, yet it is not a matter of record that the avenue of hope is entirely closed against those of color where merit has been tested and qualification found. Some claim the "handwriting upon the wall" is plain, and that the Republican party realizes the "Old Elephant" is being pretty roughly handled. Old-timers who have weathered the gale shake their heads and have nothing to say. Other members of the advance guard (fairly good scouts and not quite so serious), pin their faith upon harmonizing all factions and believe proper adjustment of party affairs can be brought about only in this way. Gets One Year for Slapping Bishop Gets One Year for Slapping Bishop Middletown, N. Y., Aug. 11.—Charles Vandyke, a Negro of Goshen, was sentenced to one year in the county jail at Goshen by Justice H. B. Merrill of that village for striking Rev. J. Edward Nichols, a Negro bishop, in the face after the bishop had reprimanded him for using abusive language in his presence. The sentence was suspended during good behavior of Vandyke. 13.583 VOTES FOR SMITH. Cleveland, O., Aug. 10.—According to incomplete returns Wednesday with 6,448 precincts reported, Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, stood sixth among the nine candidates running for the Republican nomination for governor, receiving 13,853 THE DENVER & RIO GRANDE WESTERN RAILROAD SYSTEM. Commenting on seniority rights and pensions, Receiver Young of the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad said: "In recent public discussions of the shopmen's strike, the erroneous statement has been made repeatedly that loss of seniority by returning men involves forfeiture of pension privileges. Seniority rights and pension privileges are entirely separate and distinct. "A man's seniority is determined by the position his name occupies on a roster kept for his particular craft at the point, or for the division, where he is employed. If he leaves the service and returns, his name goes to the bottom of the roster as of the date on which he is re-employed. The importance of seniority is that it entitles a man to the choice of shifts—day or night—and to priority in bidding for better or otherwise more desirable positions as such opportunities occur; also that it gives him preference over junior employees in holding his work when it is necessary to lay men off. Seniority depends upon continuity of employment. "Pensions are based upon total years of service. Under the Denver & Rio Grande Western plan every employé, regardless of grade or rank, must retire at the age of 70 years. If incapacitated he may be retired at 65 years or over if he has been in the service twenty-five years or more. He receives a pension of 1 per cent of his average monthly earnings for the last ten years of work, multiplied by his total number of years of service. "Therefore, if a shopman now on strike seeks re-employment and is accepted within one year from date of leaving the service, he loses seniority—that is, his name goes at the bottom of the seniority roster at the point where he is re-employed, but he does not necessarily lose any of his pension privileges. The railroad's position on the seniority issue does not impair or lessen the pension privileges of its former employés who are now out of service, providing they seek re-employment and are accepted. "Another error which has been circulated generally is that the pensions of railroad employees are paid in whole or in part by contributions from the men themselves. This is not the case on the Denver & Rio Grande Western, nor as far as I know, on other American railroads. Pensions are paid entirely out of the funds of the railroad as a voluntary gift in recognition of long and faithful service, and to assist old employees who have passed the period of active work. The railroad pays the pensions and bears the entire cost or operating the pension department. "The pension system on the Denver & Rio Grande Western was inaugurated July 1, 1917. At the present time eighty-slx employees are carried on the pension roll, and annual payments are now being made at the rate of $44,352.12." MORRISON'S ORCHESTRA MAKING GREAT HIT AT EMPRESS THEATER. Professor George Morrison and his orchestra stars are headliners at the Empress theater on the Pantages circuit. The professor has just returned from a trip to the Pacific coast, where he delighted both Americans and Mexicans, and many honors were bestowed on this already famous musical aggregation. Everybody should visit the Empress and give a right hearty welcome to our local orchestra. American Bar Association's Committee Endorses AntiLynching Bill American Bar Association's Committee Endorses AntiLynching Bill "We find that further legislation should be enacted by the Congress to punish and prevent lynching and mob violence," was the official recommendation of the American Bar Association's committees on law enforcement made at its annual meeting at San Francisco on Aug. 10, according to an announcement made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at its office here today. This action by the Bar Association followed intensive work by the Advancement Association in seeking to have such a recommendation made on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. In March, James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the association, went to Washington at the request of the law enforcement committee to appear at public hearings which were being held to determine the causes of lawlessness in America. Following this appearance Mr. Johnson went again to the second meeting of the committee on law enforcement held at Chicago on April 10. At both of these meetings Mr. Johnson impressed upon members of the committee the urgent necessity of federal legislation against lynching and urged the committee to include in its recommendations to the Bar Association an official approval and support of the measure. The recommendation quoted above gives official endorsement to the Anti-Lynching Bill by the most influential group of lawyers in America. The American Bar Association is composed of the most illustrious lawyers in the country, including such jurists as William H. Taft, chief justice of United States Court; Charles Evans Hughes, secretary of state; Charles S. Whitman, former governor of New York, and the most influential members of the bar in all parts of the country. Endorsement of the Anti-Lynching Bill by the American Bar Association with endorsements that have already been given to the measure make the legal opinion of the country overwhelmingly in support of the constitutionality of the measure and removes any and all excuses on the score of constitutionality which the Senate and individual senators have advanced as a reason for delay in passing the measure. This action also marks another forward step in the systematic work which the N. A. A. C. P. has been continuously carrying on to secure the enactment of Anti-Lynching legislation. Negro Voters Urged To Defeat Kelley Negro Voters Urged To Defeat Kelley Declaring that it is the duty of every color* voter in Michigan to vote against Patrick J. Kelley because of his stand on the question of anti-lynching legislation when the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was voted on in the House of Representatives in January, James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has written to each of the sixteen branches of that organization in Michigan, urging them to support Senator Townsend, who has definitely declared himself in favor of the bill, in preference to Kelley. Mr. Johnson points out in his letter that he is taking such action and urges colored voters to consider their votes not as a narrow and partisan political issue but as one involving the fundamental right of all persons to protection from mob violence and lynching. When the Dyer Bill came up for a vote in the House, he declared, although it was clearly shown that the states had failed to end lynching and punish lynchers and that it was incumbent upon the national government to take some steps to end mob outlawry, Mr. Kelley voted against such remedial legislation, although the Dyer Bill had been declared constitu- NO 44 ORGANIZE COLORED WOMEN PLEA OF REPUBLICAN LEADERS Mrs. Louise M. Dodson, director of organization, Republican Women's National Executive Committee, addressing 1,000 delegates at the convention of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in Richmond, Va., Friday night, August 11, emphasized the need of political organization for Colored women. In speaking of the value of organization she pointed out how little can be accomplished by individuals and how effective work can only be achieved through organized effort in the churches, the government and even in the homes. "Through organization," said Mrs. Dodson, "the Colored women will be able to educate the individual voters. It has been shown that the enfranchisement of women has raised the intelligence of the individual voter. Through organization the women also hope to lower the per cent of the non-voters. This per cent at the present time is a shame to the country. Figures actually show that less than half the qualified voters take the trouble to vote. "Most of us resent the political conditions in Europe where by inheritance certain citizens are the governing class, yet we by our own wills in this country, which is the freeest in the world, in our failure to vote confess our ability to be governed by others than ourselves. This is one of the problems which the new woman voter will help to solve. If the time ever comes when all citizens would interest themselves in the government, many of the evils which are now complained of, would be abolished." Speaking of Republicanism, Mrs. Dodson said: "I cannot see why women with any knowledge of the history of the two parties could be other than Republican. I hope the women of this convention will not only vote the Republican ticket themselves, but will persuade their friends as well to support the Republican ticket. It seems like carrying coals to Newcastle to talk Republicanism to an audience of Colored people because they better than all others, know that the Republican party has given them the opportunity for civil, political and almost physical life itself." tional by the attorney general of the United States, by the House committee on the Judiciary, by Moorfield Storey, former president of the American Bar Association, and many other eminent jurists. Mr. Johnson emphasized that it was not the desire of the Advancement Association to influence the honest judgment of any man in public office but that on so fundamental an issue as that of protecting American citizens from mob violence and lynching, colored voters should not and must not support any man who did not by his vote show a willingness to take some step to end the reign of the mob in America, the principal sufferers from whose deeds are Negroes. Mr. Johnson emphasized finally that since colored voters had said that they would defeat, if possible, any man who voted against the Dyer Bill that failure to defeat Mr. Kelley would mean that colored voters might just as well in the future keep their mouths shut on the subject of rewarding friends and punishing enemies politically. FOREIGN Thirty-two co-eds of Wooster College, Wooster, Ohio, arrived at London from Paris recently in four airplanes. Twenty-four others were expected to follow. The ratified copy of the Washington treaties was signed by King George a few days ago. It is now en route to Washington for the exchange of ratifications. Officers and crews of inter-island vessels who struck recently against proposed wage reductions have flatly refused to accept government arbitration. Foreign steamers are using special permits and supplying a limited passenger and freight service. A violent clash between Socialists and Fascisti caused a suspension of the session of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, said a Central News dispatch from Rome recently. Anger rose to fever hent. Revolvers were drawn and there were threats of killing. Deaths in the typhoon of Aug. 2 at Swatow, a seaport 200 miles northeast of Hongkong, now are estimated at 50,000, the American consul at Swatow has reported to the American legation. The consul added that 100,000 were homeless and relief was needed urgently. A law to enforce the prohibition of absinthe by shutting the lid equally on all absinthe substitutes has been passed by the chamber in Paris. In the course of debate the United States was cited as a country where "morphine and cocaine have replaced alcohol." The Japanese ambassadors to England and France and the minister to Belgium have been appointed delegates to the forthcoming assembly of the League of Nations. K. Horiguchi, minister to Brazil, has been appointed Japanese envoy to the Brazilian centenary. Even Spain has its midsummer American invasion. Although Spain is generally overlooked by the American tourist throng, a party of forty-five American students have arrived at Barcelona under the guidance of Miss Marcal Dorado of New York. The students will spend the summer studying at Rector University. News of the approval of a tariff rate of 2.2 cents a pound on sugar by the Senate at Washington has been received with jubilation by Philippine planters. The protection they consider the figure affords them has put a damper on political agitation against continuance of free trade relations. Opponents of free trade have charged that it is designed to make the islands economically dependent on the United States. Virtually every important coal mine in Nova Scotia is closed by a strike of upward of 12,000 miners. Five thousand Cape Breton miners at a mass meeting at Glace Bay, and other large meetings, repudiated the agreement which their officers made with the British Empire Steel Corporation and declared for the strike. Terms of the latest company offer raised minimum day rates from $2.85 to $3.25 and contract rates 10 per cent. This would give a rate of pay about 22 per cent below the wages of 1921, which the miners are asking. GENERAL Earl P. Burman, 22, of Detroit was killed in a collision on the Jackson (Mich.) speedway. Robert Burman brother of Earl, was killed in 1916 at Coronna, Calif., in a similar accident.

With an additional 128,500 voting for a repeal of the amendment on prohibition, a total of 381,500 are in favor of a change as against 236,329 for continuance of the amendment. In returns from factory workers, a decidedly "wet" vote has been predominant. Attorney Levy Mayer, one of Chicago's most noted lawyers, was found dead in his suite in the Blackstone hotel. George Currey, former governor of New Mexico, was appointed by President Harding to be the American commissioner on the United States-Mexico international boundary commission.

Hossfield of Paterson, N.J., won an all-American typewriting speed contest at the pageant of progress in Chicago against a field of 166 entrants by writing 126 words a minute for thirty minutes. Fred Brown, wounded and captured some time ago near Medicine Bow, Wyo., by a Wyoming posse that sought him as the man who chained and held prisoners two Omaha women in a shack in an Omaha suburb, pleaded not guilty when arraigned in District Court on charges of kidnapping and automobile theft, growing out of his alleged actions. A battle between guards, strikers and employés in the Missouri Pacific railway yards at Van Buren, Ark., occurred recently, according to messages. Police and other officers were rushed to the scene. Over 100 shots were fired, but it is believed no one was injured. A bomb was thrown into the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad yards at Evansville, Ind., a few days ago. The explosion did no damage and no one was near the point at the time. No trace of the bomb throwers has been found. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS DAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD.

Announcement that an agreement between the United States and Germany providing for the determination of the amount of claims against Germany was signed in Berlin was made by the State Department. The agreement provides for a claims commission to be composed of two commissioners and an umpire. The trials and tribulations of senators are not so much concerned with the tariff, the soldiers' bonus and the ship subsidy as they are with the industrial crisis that completely overshadowed the legislative program. Senators are being bombarded with telegraphic appeals from their constituents for relief from actual or impending fuel shortages due to the coal strike, or from transportation or freight tieups resulting from the railroad walkout. The Intermediate Iate Association, composed of representatives of chambers of commerce and trade bodies in eight western states, decided to at once inaugurate a vigorous campaign to have the present Congress enact an absolute short and long haul law. Members of the association meeting at Bait Lake City declined to take any part in the discussion of the proposed legislation, which would place the international steamship carriers under the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission for rate fixing purposes. Formal announcement that recent oil land decisions of the Mexican Supreme Court do not, in the opinion of officials at Washington, effectively protect the rights of American land owners, was made recently in a statement issued by the State Department. The five court opinions upon which some Mexican officials have based a hope of recognition for the Obregon regime, were said in a statement to apparently establish a precedent protecting improved oil lands from confiscation, without furnishing the same guarantee for land in which mining operations had not been actually be- Mnj.

Denver.—Police are seeking an erstwhile tramway motorman who has vanished with $150 he is alleged to have obtained from a green car pilot in one of the neatest confidence games on local police records. The missing motorman drifted to Denver from Kansas City in the tramway strike two years ago. Recently he was instructed to teach a green youth from Kansas the art of handling a street car. A few days ago the youth reported that his tutor had gone on a vacation after selling him the tramway car for $150, telling him he could hire a conductor on shares and make a "pile of money." Greeley. — Inherent reasonableness has made the Monreo doctrine and the "open door" policy of the United States the only two foreign policies on which it can be said that the United States has maintained a clear and consistent opinion, said Dr. Edward T.

Pueblo. — William Jackson, 36 years old, fireman employed by the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad, was killed recently near Sedalia, according to information received at Pueblo. He was on a freight train which left Pueblo for Denver. Near Sedalia is an overhanging bridge, and it is believed he had his head out of the cab window and was struck by the girders of the bridge and killed instantly. Akron.—A terrific hall and wind storm compelled Burlington train No. 14 to stop five miles west of Pinneo, a few days ago, until it had passed. The wind was blowing at a rate of fifty miles an hour and tore the copper wire screens from the ventilators. Hall smashed every window on the north side of the cars, and going thru the ventilators, broke windows on the opposite side. The cars look as they had been thru a battle. Grand Junction.—The J. W. Watson farm implement house, near the owner's ranch, one and three-quarter miles south of Grand Junction, sustained a loss estimated at $35,000 to $40,000 in a fire of unknown origin. Because of the isolated position of the building, there is little fire protection there, and once started, the fire had almost full swing. The building and equipment was insured for $7,000. Boulder.—Leonard Beckwith, in charge of the construction of a telephone line over the Fall River road, stated that he would complete his contract within a few days. The telephone will connect Estes Park and Grandlake. It is being built by the United States national park service. Fort Collins.—Mrs. George S. Hager, 54 years old, drowned herself in Lindenmeier lake, near Fort Collins, while a farm hand was wading out in the water and calling to her. Mr. Hager lived in town at 622 Remington street, while her husband was on a farm near Fort Collins. Durango.—James McGulgan, forme captain of the beach life guards at Long Beach, Calif., and later a prominent ranchman near Durango, died at hospital at Durango of a fractured skull received when an emery wheel broke into pieces.

COAL SHORTAGE eee oe I MoovER DECLARES THE SUPPLY WILL BE AMPLE IF MINERS RETURN SOON. PRICE TROUBLES PASS WITH enieret OF ‘WORK PRICE SITUATIQN WILL BE QUICKLY OVER. Washington.—Early resumption of coal production in the union fields covered by the Cleveland agreement 1s looked to by administration officials to avert fuel troubles next winter. If the miners in those fields return to work soon, Secretary Hoover de- clared there should be no serious shortage of coal next winter, although there may be some minor inconven- fences. Prodaction of approximately 10,000,000 tons of coal weekly, made up of about four-fifths bituminous and one-fifth anthracite, will be needed, according to Federal Fuel Distributor Spencer. yen with adequate production, Mr. Hoover asserted, action by Congress will be necessary to enable federal price control temporarily and to fa- cilitate distribution of anthracite and to supply needs of the Northwest. “With the resumption of mining,” “he said, “the price situation will be jquickly over, While there will be some control of distribution and | prices necessary temporarily the mat- ter will quickly adjust itself.” Céllapse of the fair price agree- “ments made with producing operators, ‘however, when the union mines re- | sume production was indicated by Mr. Hoover, ‘There would be then seventy-five or eighty districts, he ex- plained, to hold into line as to prices by voluntary means which would be an “infeasible machine.” Nevertheless, Mr. Hoover declared, the results of the fair price agree- ments thus far have constituted a “re- markable showing” with 70 per cent of the coal now moving being handled under the established maximums of $2.20 to §275 a ton, Difficulties in the price situation, he asserted, arose from the other 30 per cent, which gave rise to the charges of profiteer- Ing while operators observing the agreements were passing up from $8 to $10 on every ton sold. Emergency price control legislation, which it is understood, President Harding will suggest to Congress, would apply only to coal moving in interstate commerce, in the opinion of the secretary. State authorities, he believed, would have the power to regulate coal prices during the emergency, especially If the federal government, acting na- tionally, gave the states the frame work to build on, He advanced the | opinion that the federal government could control prices charged by oper- ators for coal in interstate commerce and could “deliver coal over the state line at fair prices,” after which the price problem would be one for the states. Optimism prevailed among leaders of the miners and operators directly Interested in the anthracite coal situ- ation following the first session of the joint conference, which is expected to result in a settlement of the strike and send 155,000 men, idle since April 1, back to work, ‘The operators have announced they could»return at the old wage seale. ‘The meeting was said to have been marked by the friendliest of feeling. It was chiefly taken up by prelimt- mary discussion. Both Mr, Warriner and Mr. Lewis appeared enthusiastic over the pros- pect of peace. Neither, however, would say what thelr intentions were, but indicated they were anxious to get together their respective sides so as to be able to go into conference with a definite program. Washington.—With two exceptions, ‘all important amendments to the ad- ministration tariff bill offered by in- dividual senators were approved by the Senate, Senator Harreld, Repub- lcan, Oklahoma, lost his fight to im- pose tariffs on crude petroleum and fuel oll, and Democrats were unsuc- cessful in efforts to reduce the rates gm aluminum, All remaining individ- ual amendments were acted upon be- fore the Senate recessed, Peru Approves Pact.

CONFRONTED as we are with the railway strike and the strike of the miners of the bituminous coal fields, the people of this country are beginning to realize that more attention must be paid by them to labor unions as to their contribution to the development of government at one time and their retarding of the wheels of industrial progress at another. While we have no objections as to the formation of organized labor bodies in the same manner as financial institutions and other commercial bodies are brought about for the regulation of affairs advantageous to them, protection from legislation disastrous to their cause, yet we fail to see the righteousness of the action of those who seem to forget the public—yea, the people of a commonwealth in the great suffering and embarrassment caused them because of the liberality of the constitution governing them. We are quite aware of the fact that a sympathetic vein runs through the labor organizations which have grown to be of national strength in the American republic, and have no thought of underestimating the trouble, privation and tremendously harmful results from lack of railway transportation and shortage of coal from the two strikes—and because of this we conclude that the present action is not merely a private dispute between employer and employed, but a public and national harm, which strikes at the very vitals of good government. Think of railway employés deserting their trains in the deserts of Arizona and California, with passengers, including infants, undergoing a blazing heat, in some instances the thermometer registering 130 degrees, and with a determination to win their point at any cost, forgetting even the very common obedience to the laws of human nature in relieving the suffering of those in distress. In these tense moments between employer and employé, between employé and the public, we are generally approached and asked in no uncertain terms what is the Negro's position in this case. Is he a sympathizer with the striker? Wouldn't he support any laboring organization for higher wages and shorter hours? These and other questions are put up to us, as well as the request for a suggestion as to a solution of the difficulty tending to the amelioration of conditions. We find no difficulty in answering, as from our experience with the treatment we receive after helping to settle disputes with the other side, there being no place for us or any assignment made us for help in the cause, whether it be military warfare or industrial. We reply in the words of Bishop Mead of our city: "The railroad and mine strike will never be settled permanently on the basis of longer hours and smaller wages, nor shorter hours and larger wages, but a final settlement of industrial disputes can only be effected on a basis of common brotherhood. The issue upon which permanent settlement of the disputes can be reached must be greater than hours of work or wages." THE COLORADO STATESMAN emphatically endorses, and therefore must register its opposition to any group, element or organization in our nation that will interfere with the maintenance of peace and harmony among its citizens. CANDIDATES OF INTEGRITY AND ABILITY SHOULD BE ELECTED AT PRIMARIES SEPTEMBER 12TH. TWO years ago we endeavored to bring to the minds of the people the necessity of interesting themselves in the political activities of the city and county of Denver and the state of Colorado, as there are certain things in the West dissimilar to conditions in the East, and so great was the interest aroused, that among the number of candidates designated by the Republican State Assembly for the various offices at the primary election were three members of our group for representatives of the lower house. Unfortunately, we did not succeed in electing even one, although each polled a large number of votes, proving we were anxious to have a representative and we were supporters of people of ability and integrity to represent us. Some thought there was a mistake in having three candidates, as the division among our voters would reduce the strength of either, and if a strong support was not lined up by the other side, our cause would be lost. This prediction came true and we lost. The consensus of opinion resolved itself to this, that if we should afford ourselves the opportunity of another effort, we would agree on one candidate and give all the support we had, as well as the support from others, towards their election in the finals. Now, at the forthcoming primary election Tuesday, September 12, we note acceptances of Republican designation for state and county offices, as well as national representatives, filed with the Secretary of State. Among them are two candidates of our people for the lower house of the legislature. In presenting these candidates for the consideration of the public, we believe INTEGRITY and ABILITY should be among the chief qualities for an aspirant to the law-making body of our state government; and whether candidates of our race; or any other, when we think of the responsibility attached to the position, that of representing all the people and being capable of grappling with the momentous topics of the day, that tend either to constructive or destructive condition of our state and nation, surely we should put aside friendship from a social standpoint, personal gains as financial considerations, positions, etc., and carry to success those who have the integrity, ability and courage of their conviction to champion a cause. These, and these only, THE COLORADO STATESMAN recommends to the consideration and support of all the electors, and a satisfactory term of office will be guaranteed you if they are elected.

I would amend the Constitution so as to provide: (1) That no inferior federal judge shall set aside a law of congress on the ground that it is unconstitutional; (2) that if the Supreme court assumes to decide any law of congress unconstitutional, or, by interpretation, undertakes to assert a public policy at variance with the statutory declaration of congress—which alone under our system is authorized to determine the public policies of government—the congress may by re-enacting the law nullify the action of the court. Thereafter the law would I purpose shortly to introduce a proposed amendment to the Constitution. I would amend the Constitution so as to provide: (1) That no inferior federal judge shall set aside a law of congress on the ground that it is unconstitutional; (2) that if the Supreme court assumes to decide any law of congress unconstitutional, or, by interpretation, undertakes to assert a public policy at variance with the statutory declaration of congress—which alone under our system is authorized to determine the public policies of government—the congress may by re-enacting the law nullify the action of the court. Thereafter the law would remain in full force and effect, precisely the same as though the court had never held it to be unconstitutional. A century and a half ago our forefathers shed their blood in order that they might establish upon this continent a government deriving its just powers from the consent of the governed, in which the will of the people, expressed through their duly elected representatives, should be sovereign. By a process of gradual encroachments, uncertain and timid at first, but now confident and aggressive, sovereignty has been wrested from the people and usurped by the courts. Today the actual ruler of the American people is the Supreme court of the United States. The law is what they say it is, and not what the people, through congress, enacts. Aye, even the Constitution of the United States is not what its plain terms declare but what these nine men construe it to be. In fact, five of these nine men are actually the supreme rulers, for by a bare majority the court has repeatedly overridden the will of the people as declared by their representatives in congress, and has construed the Constitution to mean whatever suited their peculiar economic and political views. The nine lawyers who constitute the Supreme court are placed in positions of power for life, not by the votes of the people but by presidential appointment. Youth, With Its Dual Nature, Has About an Even Fight on Its Hands By DR. A. E. STEARNS, Principal of Phillips Academy. Nobody can understand boys or deal with boys who does not, first of all, appreciate the dual nature of the human being, and particularly as it is intensified and exemplified in youth, because youth starts with just about an even fight on its hands, and has that dual nature in its intensest and most vigorous form. On the one side there is the weaker, the baser, the animal, if you will, pulling him in the directions in which he knows, on his better side, he ought not to go, thrusting temptation in his way, calling him off the beaten track. And then, on the other side, there are those fine ideals, never finer than in the days of youth, those beliefs and convictions in the things that are fine and true and manly and pure, the spiritual side of his nature, the higher man, the manhood that is in him, calling him away from these things, and challenging him to play the game and to play the game fair and true. If you want rugged manhood in the next generation, it is there just waiting to be called into control and action. If you want men of ideals, men who will uphold our laws, men who will stand for the things that are pure and clear and fine in home and family and civic life, men who can continue to lead this nation and not undermine its strength by their own weaknesses, then do what you can to make these conditions to which youth will perfectly and naturally and wholesomely respond. Art Bolshevists to the Incompetent Proletariat of Paint and Brush By CHARLES VEZIN, American Artist and Critic. The Russian Bolshevists "had a cinch" when they started. It is easy to convert people to what they like to believe and what it is to their interest to believe. So all they had to say to the peasants—and they make up the mass of Russia—was: "The land is yours." So the art bolshevists say to the ignorant and the incompetent of paint, to the proletariat of the brush: "The walls of the exhibition rooms are yours." If their picture reaches the "firing line" of the National Academy or the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts or Carnegie Institute and is "fired," they tell him: "Your picture is too good for them." How many generations will it take of bountiful harvests to bring back the Russian people to their physical constitutions? How many generations of ethical soundness will it take to repair the moral attrition of our youth? How many generations will it take to repair the esthetic bolshevism now being propagated in most of our art schools by "professional modernists"? It is this factor that makes discussion futile about merely a passing wave. It will be visited upon the third and fourth generations. A List of Vacation Do's and Don'ts for the School Children of America Swim all you can this summer, but never on a full stomach, or if overheated or extremely tired. Learn to paddle your own canoe, but never rock the boat to scare the other fellow; this has caused the death of thousands of boys and girls. Fly kites, but don't use copper wire instead of twine; scores of boys have been electrocuted when their kite wire came in contact with electric wires; also don't climb telegraph poles. Hike out into the country, but if you go for more than one day carry a first-aid kit with you; also learn to recognize poison ivy. Drink a lot of water, but first make sure that its source is clean. Don't use the streets for play if there is a vacant lot, a clean alley or a playground nearby; if you must use streets for playgrounds pick a street that has no street car tracks or heavy automobile traffic. Don't be a jay-walker; in the city cross streets at regular crossings, never in the middle of the block; when walking on country roads keep on the left instead of the right-hand side of the road, so that you can see approaching vehicles. -at Joslins Sixteenth at Curtis A Sale of Khaki Suits and Dresses At Less Than Half These garments are made of excellent khaki—the kind we have been selling all season at $5.95, $6.95 and $7.50.

We have some pleasant visits from some of them. Occasionally we find one who comes from a city where there is a modern Y building, and he generally expresses surprise that we have not one. We hope his disappointment will be removed when he visits Denver next summer. A very spirited ball game was played between two factions of the younger boys the first of the week. When the successful team had rolled up a score of 27 to the other team's 15, every player suddenly decided that the weather was "too hot to play any longer." Some of the boys of the cadet band have been detained at home by sickness; a few others have missed two or more practices by being out of town and other causes. Sickness cannot be avoided. It is hoped, however, that the parents of these boys will see to it that the boys are kept at home only for sickness, as it throws them back considerably when they miss even one practice. A DIAMOND STANDARD WE very much doubt whether the average Negro citizen of Denver holds a proper appreciation of the valuable contribution to manhood and skillful powness being made each year by a small group of our young men calling themselves the WHITE ELEPHANTS. It is a baseball team composed of colored youths that has gone on year after year with unimpaired strength, with victory after victory being their common lot, until today they are the most talked of and feared ball team in or around Denver. For many years they were members of the city semi-professional league and were generally regarded as the main drawing cards. But they won championships too great a regularity, with the result that this year they were cunningly left out of the league. The white man will not stand the gaff too long in any given line and the fact that for three years in succession the White Elephants bore off the palm as the best ball team in Denver proved exceedingly. Not content with having the city league all to themselves a scheme was devised in which games were scheduled so far ahead that our boys were practically excluded from appearing on the Twenty-third and Welton street ball diamond. But an opportunity was given them last Sunday, and the boys more than made good. One of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a semi-pro game in the city was on hand to greet their bronze idols. All of the old-time fans from "Dad" Mason on down turned out en masse. And to add glory and luster to the occasion the boys won a beautifully contested game. The old-time popularity still followed the team and they proved themselves fully worthy of it. Study the history and unchecked successes of this baseball team from year to year and a lesson can be drawn from it that will prove of value to any Denver citizen. The underlying principles of its achievements are the same that apply to any other rule of life, and that is ORGANIZATION and TEAM-WORK under capable LEADERSHIP. We have in mind at this moment a condition touching upon the history of this team at the opening of the present season. One of the players to whom leadership had been accorded by common consent in past years went East, The White Elephants opened the season as usual, but in a ragged, half-hearted manner. They could not pull themselves together and were buffed about by the most inferior ball teams. A huge vessel upon a vast body of water without rudder or pilot could not have been more helpless. Finally, one day the word rang out, "Freddie is back," and instantly there was another story to tell. The famous White Elephant ball team took on the needed confidence and is once again the dreaded foe of every team in the city. They are sweeping everything before them as of old, and there is a reason for it. The boys have erected a standard of excellence that could well be emulated by organizations of a far different character. Let no one suppose for a moment that this team of capable athletes is merely a patch-work affair. The material is carefully selected and once found worthy is kept constantly in place. The boys believe in one another and have carefully studied the art and know the value of team play. Individualism never contributes to a lasting success and this our proud team found out years ago. Freddie Hill may never wear a medal as a social star or literary genius, but he possesses what many of these are woefully lacking in, and that is the ability to lead men and to organize them into a formidable non-defeatable unit. Perhaps it is to our shame that many of our leaders in other affairs in Denver have not lent greater encouragement to this organization. The boys have struggled for mastery and gained ascendancy over the most forbidding obstacles and handicaps. Moreover, it has been without financial gain for the little given them from the collections at the games is but poor reward for such worthy prowess. The Negroes of Denver owe more to the White Elephant ball team than simple praise and hurrahs during the excitement of the game. There should be some benefit or testimonial extended at the end of the present season as a tribute to the band of stalwart warriors whose unimpeded conquests may be illkened unto the "Glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome."

Fa” a r aS Sy) wa 4 74 PS AAs INGTON — anes Sam is getting ready to send out “Please remit” notices to the allied powers who owe him approximately §12,000,000,000. He has been a patient creditor and he will continue to be patient, but he would like to have some ‘promissory notes, definitely dated, in place of the vague I. O, U.'s he now holds. Expressed in diplo- matic language, the administration, through the State department, is pre- paring to “make representations” to the allied governments and ask them rather pointedly when they are going to begin paying up. Efforts to refund the allied indebted. ness and get America’s creditors started paying on the Installment Cores has graciously allowed the American people to be pre- sented with a new national monu- ment. It is In Riverside county, Call- fornia, and its purpose is to preserve some fine specimens of the rare Wash- Ington palm. Congress says the peo- ple may have it when the donors fur- nish the money to pay the Indians for the land. ‘The senate has passed house bill 7,598. Senator Johnson of California called up the bill and said: “The monument 1s desired in order to preserve what Is probably the only remaining large groves of natural wild Washington palms in the United States. Three adjoining canyons, Palm, Murray and Andreas, each con- taining an extensive grove of these desert palms, are embraced within the area of the proposed monument. Many other specimens of desert flora of major scientific interest are also to be found there. The bill bas the approval of the Department of the Interior, including the bureau of In- dian affairs. It safeguards the In- dians and It costs the government nothing at all.” ‘The bill provides that the secretary ‘ No Pardon for | la ¢ ee ae jo eS NO PARDONS FOR FOES OF NATION ‘PRESIDENT HARDING ‘has put hie foot down hard on general am- nesty for “political” prisoners, He declared that as long as he was Presi- dent he would never pardon any crimi- nal who was gullty of preaching the Mestruction of the government by force. He made this declaration of policy to a delegation seeking a general am- nesty. He told them he could not bring himself to grant general am- nesty until he knew that all prisoners held under the war acts have only committed strictly war offenses. He stated that he was giving con- sideration to the cases and that he had instructed the Department of Jus- tice to expedite reports in all these cases, but concluded by placing a strict ban on pardons for those con- victed of advocating the overthrow of the government by violence. eee e eS era of American clahns against Ger- many has been introduced in the sen- ate py Senator Underwood (Ala.), Democratic leader. It Is provided that American claims shall be adjudicated by a commission, and unless otherwise satisfied pald out of the German property in ac- cordance with the provisions of the Versailles trenty and the separate treaty of peace between the United States and Germany. ‘The bill creates a commission to be known as the enemy property claims commission, composed of six commis- kloners to be appointed by the Presi- dent, by and ‘vith the advice and con- went of the senate, The commission would have practically all the powers of a United States court. Any ques- tion of suflicient importance to war- rant such action would be settled by the Supreme court. ‘The German property Is to be clas- sified and American claims paid out of the several classes of property in their order, each class to be exhausted before the funds of another class are touched. 4 Undor this plan the property of the Rae at least so far as Interest 1s concerned, have been disappointing, It is frankly admitted In administration circles, The prospect is extremely uncer- tain. It is no longer a secret that the various nations are jockeying with each other for advantageous positions in the refunding negotiations, That ts the situation that the for- eign debt refunding commission, made up of Secretary of State Hughes, See- retary of the Treasury Mellon, Secre- tary of Commerce Hoover, Senator Smoot, Utah, and Representative Burton, Ohio, finds Itself in several months after Its creation, It 1s understood here that Great Britain, which has announced her in- tention to pay her obligations to the United States, looks to France to set- tle her obligations to England, and France In turn looks to Germany to make good on her reparations before she pays Great Britain. Furthermore, England expects to settle on as good termg as any of the creditors of the United States. It is now seriously doubted whether anything will be done for months to come unless Uncle Sam gets busy. © | Ga pe KE eI | SS ae a i e Wen Wis = | ETS 5 | oe a: [= — Bee dh I: Se ar | of the Interior shall set aside and ly | administer the monument, which con- al | tains 1,600 acres, “Provided, that be- “l| fore such reservation and dedication s,| as herein authorized shall become n-| effective the consent and relinquish: se | ment of the Agua Caliente band of 1e | Indians shall first be obtained, cover- it. | ing its right, title, and Interest in and ‘a | to the lands herein described, and 30 | payment therefor to the members of 1e | said band on a per capita basis, at a ie | price to be agreed upon, when there n- | shall be donated for such purposes to n-| the secretary of the Interior a fund nt | in an amount to be fixed and deter- mined by him as sufficient to compen- -y | sate the Indians therefor.” aise tas : “Political” Prisoners The delegation asked for amnesty for all the 87 “politieal" prisoners now In federal penitentlaries. ‘They brought with them a petition contain- ing 1,000,000 signatures pleading for the release of the prisoners.

PRESIDENT WILL NOT SUGGEST ADJOURNMENT BEFORE THE BIG JOB IS FINISHED, REST OF PROGRAM DROPPED Administration’s Ship Subsidy Measure Evidently Hasn't a Chance of Get- ting Through During the Present Session of Congress. By JAMES P. HORNADAY | been struggling along with the wool schedule of the tariff bill—not a most lesirable hot-weather — topie—would aot make much of a protest if Presi- jdent Harding should suggest that the tariff bill be abandoned and this ses- |sion of the congress brought to un Jend. But the President does not in- tend to make any such suggestion, He feels that the Republican majority in congress, having undertaken a revision of the tariff, should complete the job. Whether he’ will sign any kind of an old bill which is presented to him is a question which will not be answered until congress completes a revision. The senate could, of course, recommit the tari bill to the committee on finance any day if it desired to do it and that would pigeonhole the subject for this session, but the Republican leadership in the senate, such as there fs, much as it would like to be rid of the tariff bugaboo, has not the cour- age to advocute pigeonholing the bill. As for the rest of the legislative program, it has gone by the board, apparently, ‘The‘real problem before the Republicans in the two branches of the legislative body now 1s to get the tarift bill through before the heat of the congressional campaign comes on, No one any longer prophesies as to when the senate will flsh with the bill in its present form, ‘The con- troversial nature of the proposed les- islation makes it certain that the bill will be in conference a good while. Then after an agreement in confer- ence—the conferees may almost com- pletely rewrite the bill if they decide that is the thing to do—each legisla- tive branch will take plenty of time to decide whether it favors the con- ference report. October 1 Set as the Limit. Ninety-iive per cent of the members of the house of representatives will in- sist on an ndjournment of this ses- sion not later than October In order that they may give proper attention to thelr campaigns for re-election, and one-third of the senators will be in the sume frame of mind, So it Is gen- erally agreed that the tariff legisla- tlon must be In the hands of the Prest- dent by the last week in September. Most of the Iepublican leaders are setting thelr heads very determinedly against attempting any other important legislation In the meantime. It Is now ubout as certain as any- thing can be, short of the actual devel- opment, that there will be no ship sub- sldy legislation at this session, Pres- {dent Harding, necording to persons who are competent to spenk, has prae- tically abandoned hope of getting the administration subsidy bill started dur- ing this session, ‘The nation-wide cam- paign in the Interest of the measure, much talked ubout six weeks ago, will not be undertaken, ‘The members of the house of representatives—the Re- publican members in particular—who were to have set this campaign going during the recess of the house, have not done a thing, ‘There is no at- tempt to conceal the administration's keen disappointment over the fallure of the Republican representatives to take the time during their stay at home to tell the people about the fine points of the proposed subsidy legisla- tion, So far as the administration Is advised, not @ single speech in favor of ship subsidy has been made by fa member of the house since the re- cess came on. Not a Chance for Subsidy Now, ‘The outlook now is that the powers- that-be in the house of representatives will decide soon after August 15, the date on which the house ts to récon- yene, that subsidy legislation must go over. President Harding sald publie- ly some tlme ago that he would re- call the congress {f It should adjourn without giving the administration's subsidy bill due consideration, but a good many things have happened since the President made that observation. As a matter of fact the administration Is not interested at all just now in legisintive matters. ‘The President and his advisers are too much concerned with the industrial situation to give any special thought to anything else. Even If the house should under pres: sure from the White House pass the subsidy bill, the legislation will be plgeonholed ‘In the senate, President Harding during the last few days has made tt a little clearer pet= haps than ever before that if bonus legislation should be passed without any provision for getting the money with which to pay the service men, he wonld veto the bill. ‘The Republt- can leaders in the senate now under: stand perfectly well how the President feels about this legislation and the chances that an effort will he made to put a bonus bill through following the passage of the tariff bill are dally becoming more remote.

Sate rom invaslout ariny, the NeConel Guard and the or ganized reserves, shull Include all of |those divisions and other inilitary: or ganizations necessary to form the basis for a complete and immedimee mobilization for the national defense in the event of a national emergency declared by congress.” So far as the defense of the contl- nental United States is concerned, the law evidently cogtemplates as a min- imum requiremest for security that the country should be definitely organ- ized to prevent an invasion in force at the outbreak of hostilities, ‘The military experts say that before the World war sueh a definite and com- prehensive plan was impracticable. Our military resources were too lim- ited xnd there Was no legal sanction ‘for the development of such a system. ‘Since the World war, with the large ‘number of war-trained officers avall- able, with the initiation of a system for the training of younger men ul- timately to replace them, with more adequate sources of military equip- ment and material, and with a settled legal sanction for the development and training of our traditional eitizen army in thne of peace, the general staff has been able to prepare definite plans for what has aptly been termed “A Na- tional Position In Readiness.” Under this plan, the military organizations required to secure critical landing places on the coast line and favorable lines of advance upon the land fron- tiers can be definitely formed and pre- haved: : ww | The Mouth-Piece | | of the People of; | Colorado and the; | Entire West § | A BELIABLE chronicle F of their doings and F progress; a faithful mirror : of their wants, their hopes, & | their best aspiration. - : | STATESMAN | : Unequaled as an advertising : medium for the business : of professional men and ; | women.

With 18 divisions and appropriate auxiliaries of the National Guard, supplemented py the regular army prepared for necessary ‘expansion, and with certain special units formed in the organized reserves, the country would be able to cover the coasts and land frontiers against se rious invasion at the start. Behind | this first line, the remaining units of the organized reserves, fully constl- | tuted with a framework of officers and | non-commissioned officers, will be pre pared to undertake the training of their raw recruits at once, The country will thus be able de | Iiberately to develop Its military power |to any necessary extent without risk of serious’ disaster through surprise at the outbreak of war, and without the necessity of maintaining a burdensome military establishment in time of peace. Such a military organization causes no menace to any other nation, but assures the impregnability of the continental United States In the event of attack by any possible hostile com- bination, General Pershing says. ‘What General Pershing Says. “It is recognized that the citizen components of the army of the Unl- ted States can be only partially trained prior to mobilization,” con- tinued the general. “While national defense comprises more than the preservation of our continental in« tegrity, the Initial accomplishment of such security will afford time for the orderly development of our great mill- tary resources. ‘Therefore, the per- missible minimum of peace training is that required to prevent invasion at the outbreak of war. “For purposes of illustration, let tt be assumed that a National Guard division Is assigned the initial mission of defending a given beach section, Upon mobilization the combatant ele- ments of this division at peace strength would be ordered to a train- Ing area within reach of this section, which would be prepared for defense. Thereafter it would be practicable to complete the mobilization, equipment and training of the division at war strength. Continuous development in the beach position would not be nec essary after its preparation for de- fense. The troops could be moved back to a convenlent training area and could rely upon naval and air reconnaissance to give ample warn- ings of a possible attack. ‘Thus the initial mission for this division de- termines the minimum degree of training which must be assured in time of peace, the extent to which it must be initially supplied with equip- ment, and the place where it will have Hostile to Dogs and Men, William P.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The proverbial cookie jar has a place in every household where there are growing children. While eating "between meals" is not to be encouraged, an extra afternoon lunch is often needed by children who spend a long day in school and come home tired and hungry. A glass of milk and a few cookies at this hour seldom interfere with the appetite for dinner, and are particularly good for children who cannot have a hot school lunch. Or, if this meal is superfluous, the cookies can go into the regular lunch box, or supplement the dessert. If mother has some unexpected callers she will be inwardly thankful for a full cookie jar. will spread slightly and cookie. The dough shall soft, however, that their shape and spread pan. Drop by spoon greased baking sheet moderately hot oven ab. Spice Cook In the recipe for plain drop cookies omit extract and sift with spoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon and 1-2 teaspoon clove spoon ginger and 2 to mon. Chocolate Co In recipe for plain ounces chocolate (melt spoons powdered cocoa spoon vanilla extract. Any of these recipes will be found satisfactory. They are recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture. Plain Rolled Cookies. (About 60 cakes.) 1 cup sugar ½ cup shortening 1 egg 1 teaspoon flavoring extract 3 cups oilted flour 2 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt About ½ cup milk Cream together the sugar and shortening; add to this the well-beaten egg, the flavoring extract, and the flour, sifted together with the salt and baking powder. Add sufficient milk (or water) to form a dough just stiff enough to roll on the board without sticking. Roll thin, from 1-8 to 1-4 inch in thickness, and cut into desired shape. Bake in a rather hot oven until delicately browned, about 16 to 12 minutes. Plain Drop Cookies. Add enough liquid to preceding recipe to make a dough which will barely drop from the spoon, but which RAISINS MAKE PLAIN DISHES ATTRACTIVE Becoming More Popular in Almost Every Home. Sugar Content Is Practically Predigested and Is Favored for Build- Because of their valuable iron-content, delicious flavor and economy, raisins are becoming more and more popular in most every home. The addition of raisins to every-day foods makes them mose tasty, and of greater health benefit. Many housewives have discovered, too, that by flavoring with raisins they can popularize bread in their homes. The luscious sauce formed from the sugar of the raisins when they are baked in a loaf of bread, permeates the dough with a rich raisin flavor. The sugar, in practically predigested form in raisins, is quickly turned into renewed vitality. When you are overworked and tired, it is because you have exhausted your energy. Then you need energizing nutriment, and a food like raisins, rich in sugar, will often revitalize you. Organic iron, so plentiful in raisins, makes red blood. The blood assimilates it readily and none of the digestive organs are taxed. For building up enduring strength and energy, there is probably no food combining this function with such a delicious flavor as raisins. Many plain foods that you serve regularly can be made more attractive to every member of your household, and more beneficial in a healthful way, by adding raisins. This is especially true in warm weather, when the excessive heat saps so much of your energy. Try raisin bread. Its popularity in your home and its ability to replenish tired people toward the end of a warm day will surprise you. TO CLEAN FEATHER PILLOWS Placed in Hot Water in Boiler and Allowed to Remain Two Hours Is Good Plan. To clean feather pillows have about four inches of boiling water in the wash boiler. Place four baking powder cans at equal distances apart in the boiler. Place two small pillows or one large one on the cans. Cover the boiler. Keep the water hot enough to steam two hours. Take pillows out and hang in a breezy, shady place until dry. They will be like new. will spread slightly and form a smooth cookie. The dough should not be so soft, however, that the cookies lose their shape and spread over the entire pan. Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet and bake in a moderately hot oven about 15 minutes. Spice Cookies. In the recipe for plain rolled or plain drop cookies omit the flavoring extract and sift with the flour 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon allspice, and 1-2 teaspoon cloves, or 1 tablespoon ginger and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Chocolate Cookies. In recipe for plain cookies add 2 ounces chocolate (melted) or 4 tablespoons powdered cocoa, with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Raisin or Nut Drop Cookies. In recipe for plain drop cookies add 3-4 cup seeded raisins or 3-4 cup chopped nuts dredged with flour. Molasses Cookies. (About 60 cakes.) 1 cup molasses ½ cup sugar ½ cup butter or butter substitute 1 egg About 3 cups flour (more if necessary) ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon soda 2 teaspoons ginger 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoon allspice Cream together the sugar, shortening, and molasses and add the well-beaten egg. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and spice. Blend the dry ingredients with the molasses mixture. For rolled cookies have the dough soft enough to barely drop from the spoon as directed for drop cookies. In general these cookies will be more crisp if the molasses and shortening are heated together until the mixture boils. SMALL BASKET VERY USEFUL Receptacle Will Be Found Real Convenience in Bathroom for Various Articles. A small basket with a tall handle over which a scrubbing cloth can be hung to dry may contain a can of scouring powder and a brush for cleaning the bathtub. A small bottle of kerosene may be added by those who have tried this easy and sanitary cleanser. Kerosene cleans like magic, without hard rubbing, and quickly evaporates. In most bathrooms there is a little corner where such a basket can be set on the floor, and it will be found a real convenience for all concerned.—Good Housekeeping. Corn-Meal Fish Balls. 2 cuppins cold corn 1 egg. meal mush. 1 tablespoonful but- cupful shredded ter. codfish. Pick over the codfish and soak it to remove salt, if necessary. Combine the ingredients and drop by spoonfuls into hot fat. Drain on clean, porous paper. These codfish balls compare very favorably in taste with those made with potato and are prepared more easily and quickly. The mush must be as dry as possible.

GOOD THINGS TO "PUT UP" It is pleasant to try some well-recommended recipes, without slighting those which have long been used in the family, for sometimes we find one which we like so well that it is added to the sacred family cook book. have long been used in the family, for sometimes we find one which we like so well that it is added to the sacred family cook book. Plum Catsup.—Take one-half peck of blue plums, one pint of vinegar, half the weight of the plums in sugar—less if liked less sweet. Add a tablespoonful each of cloves, cinnamon and allspice, tied in a muslin cloth. Boil together, strain through a colander and boil again until of the right consistency. Apple and Pepper Sauce.—Cut unripe, tart apples in thick slices, place in layers with sliced green peppers, using one-half dozen peppers to one dozen apples; and over each layer sprinkle salt, using one-half cupful. Tle in a muslin cloth one teaspoonful of crushed cloves, mace, peppercorns, and nasturtium seed, one cupful of sugar and three pints of vinegar; pour boiling hot over the apples six mornings. Then seal. Chili Sauce.—Boll together five cupfuls of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of salt and one cupful of sugar, then add twenty-four large ripe tomatoes, three red peppers, and seven onions, all put through the meat grinder. Cook one hour, bottle and seal. Green Apples and Onions.—Slice green apples, using a dozen apples to three good-sized onions, cook the onions in a little fat until somewhat soft, then add the apples unpeeled; cook until nearly done, then add a little sugar, salt and a dash of cayenne. Serve as a vegetable with pork chops or steak. Canning Young Beets.—Wash and trim, leaving two inches of stem on each to keep them from bleeding. Cook until tender, skin and place in jars with two tablespoonfuls of sugar to each quart, and one teaspoonful of salt. Set jars into a kettle of water and seal, not tight; cook in the water for an hour. Seal and set in the cellar for winter use. The best things are nearest—breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars; life's plain, common and at comes, certain duties and daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things of life.—Lord Houghton. SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS Now spring chicken is low enough to be indulged in occasionally. Cut occasionally. Cut the chicken up as for frying, put it into a deep Scotch kettle with a few tablespoonfuls of water, cover tightly and steam for a few minutes, add a the chicken up as for frying, put it into a deep Scotch kettle with a few tablespoonfuls of water, cover tightly and steam for a few minutes, add a little fat and a tablespoonful of water from time to time; season well and cook until brown. The chicken will be tender and juicy with this slow cooking. Stuffed Steak.—Grind a pound of round of beef through the meat grinder (season with salt, pepper and onion) with one egg. Prepare a bread stuffing as for poultry, grease gem pans, put in a layer of the meat, then of the dressing and lastly a layer of the meat. Bake and turn out on small plates and garnish with parsley. Currant Pie.—Take one cupful of crushed ripe currants, one cupful of sugar, two egg yolks, a pinch of salt two tablespoonfuls of flour and one of cold water. Cook until smooth and thick. Cool and fill a baked shell. Cover with a meringue made of the two egg whites with three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar; dot with half a dozen marshmallows and brown lightly in the oven. If currants crushed and put up fresh with sugar are used, one and one-half cupfuls of the fruit will be sufficient for a pie. Tomatoes d' Uxelles.—Stuff tomatoes with any desired filling and bake until tender. Cover with buttered crumbs and place them under the gas flame to become a golden brown. Apple and Blackberry Jelly.—To each peck of red astrakan apples add three plints of blackberries. Cook the berries, and apples with as little water as possible. Drain, but do not squeeze. Use two-thirds as much sugar as juice and cook until it jells; first cooking the juice for ten minutes before adding the sugar. If carefully made it will be a beautiful red. The apples should be cored, but not pared. Cold Slaw.—Shred a head of cabbage very fine, then pour over the following boiling hot: one-half cupful of vinegar, a tablespoonful of butter. Remove from the heat, add a beaten egg and three tablespoonfuls of sweet cream. Season with salt and mustard, pepper and sugar. Pour over the cabbage boiling hot.

J KIN Be L A candidate for a seat in the House of Representatives at Washington owes to the voters a statement of what he stands for and what he will strive to accomplish if elected. Whatever prominence I enjoy among the people of this district has come through my consistent, constant effort for more than a generation to secure to the people of Den- ver and Colorado relief from the unjust and discriminatory rates for transportation that have obstructed progress, crippled our industries and imposed unjustifiable burdens ‘on every citizen of the commonwealth. There can be no substantial growth in the city of Denver, no permanent prosperity among the farmers of the state, until they are granted equal opportunity by transportation lines with the citizens of other states. I believe the representatives elected this year will regard the demands of the people and that if given the opportunity I could in the next congress secure the reform for which I have given the best efforts of my life. THE VOLSTEAD ACT Every good citizen stands for temperance. No good citi- zen is an advocate of the saloon, Everybody acknowledges the evils growing out of intemperance. It is a question as old as civilization, Intelligent people earnestly desiring a solution to the problem in a way to best promote the general welfare, honestly differ as to the remedy. I am one of those who never believed the best and most effective way would be reached through prohibition. Against my judgment, however, I joined with those in favor of prohibition and voted for it, glad to give the experiment a trial, to determine whether or not it would do what was claimed by its friends. Legally, prohibition exists. Actually it has signally failed. Under it erime has steadily increased in our city and state, as the jails, the penitentiary and the records of the courts amply testify. It has provoked general disregard of the law and les- sened respect for all laws. I have returned to my original belief that prohibition is not the proper and best remedy for intemperance, and un- hesitatingly declare that I am for a modification of the law as it stands and for some regulation that will com- mand the respect and support of public sentiment, without which no law can be enforced or endure. Meantime, I want rigid enforcement of the law on Capitol Hill as well as in the bottoms. Great Publi. Benefactor.
