THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY FEAR GROWING UNREST AMONG THE DARKER RACES VOL. XXIX WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—(By N. A. P.)—h. G. Wells, the famous author and journalist, advocates a unified world control of world affairs, not the "League of Nations," but a gigantic combination of international group on a scale, and with motives staring in their sweeping candor for greater human liberty and justice: Lenin of Russia has been consigned the duty, by the bolshevists of telling of the "progress of world revolution," while Will Irwin, noted writer in Chicago, tells of the "next great war," in which the yellow people of the East will cross arms with the great white races of the West. Added to this turmoil of ideas and conflagration of prophesies is the Stoddard alarm of the "Rising Tide of Color," and the unquestioned restlessness of people of African descent in all parts of the world, including the great millions of Africa itself. In the United States of America, where there are practically fifteen millions of human beings touched by the bronzing glow of Africa's sun, discontent and disappointment are entwined with the emotions of determination, defiance and hatred. These dark-skinned Americans, who in their simple faith have for decade after decade put their trust in God and the gilded promises of certain of the whites, have had a rude awakening. They have discovered that "all is not gold that glitters." They have been disfranchised, segregated, lynched and murdered. The thrills of patriotism have been turned into hollow mockery by the deeds of the unjust. Hope in the possibilities of political opportunities, backed by the honey-toned words of the silvery-tongued orator has been transformed into the sting of hypocrisy and treachery. In such a mood and attitude of mind, fertile soil is found for the strange and radical doctrines. Dismayed by the failure of all that, has gone before, these people quite naturally are turning their eyes to new lighthouses of hope, and directing their thoughts to the appeals of newer chieftains. Overthrow of Injustice. Colored Americans have but one desire: an all united movement on their part is to bring about a realization of that desire, the overthrow of injustice. The mockery of fair play and justice to which they are subjected is making of them a race of cynics. This is true in all parts of the land and among all the various classes of the entire group. It is fraught with seriousness, because sects and isms from other prejudice is an unknown quantity, are taunting these black peoples with unanswerable arguments about the conditions and treachery in America. "We are just biding our time," said one of the adherents of a very radical group. "For what?" he was asked. "Until the dawning of the day when all these hypocrites will be swept into the ocean by the onward march of the legions of justice." Sounds tragically poetical. He would go no further in detailed explanation, but it is known to be a sacred belief that the day is coming when some great force, somewhere, somehow, will bring about a new order of things. These adherents to the "new faith" State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House are eloquent in their ability to express what is happening throughout the world and what is going to happen. They point with pride to heaven. They point with pride to the swift overthrow of governments throughout the world in the last few years, and say that the time is coming in America when, particularly in the South, where black people are denied the most, there will be a gigantic upheaval of some kind that will destroy forever the influence of that class of whites who have held the yoke of oppression on the black man's neck until it has almost choked him. "The hellishness cannot last forever," they say, and with that faith they journey onward, reading, thinking, planning, working." Political Prisoner Is Pardoned by President Ben Fletcher, the only Negro political prisoner confined in Leavenworth, has been pardoned. Mr. Fletcher passed through Pittsburgh last week and paid a visit to the American office. Fletcher was indicted September 28, 1917, by the federal grand jury at Chicago for alleged violation of the United States criminal code, the selective service act and the espionage act. The indictment covered five counts. After conviction these counts were reduced to two by the Appellate Court, but the conviction was affirmed on two counts. He was sentenced to serve ten years. The Pennsylvania committee for political prisoners applied to the President to pardon him October 18, 1922. Fortune Given to Stokes for Meritorious Service Mr. J. C. Wolcott, white, 704 East Forty-seventh street, died at his home Thursday, Nov. 2. In his will he left Mr. E. F. Stokes $5,000 in cash money, eighty acres of land in Merwin. Mo., 400 head of hogs, 60 head of pure breed Hereford cattle, 160 head of sheep. Mr. Stokes had worked for Mr. Wolcott for fifteen years. He came here from Cleveland, Ohio, where he had worked for the White Motor Company. —Kansas City Call. Finds $48,000 in Gold Somerset. Kv., Nov. 9.—While digging in a pit for a sawmill outside the town, David Jones sunk his pick in the top of a not. He pulled the cover and discovered gold pieces arranged in an orderly manner. The state banking authorities, to whom Jones took his find, declare that the gold is hundred-year old English coins worth $48,000. If no one can prove ownership within a year the gold will go to Jones. --- ABLE PEOPLE'S PA ADC E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SATU DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922. Harding Names Cohen for Job In New Orleans Washington, Nov. 8.—Announcement was made here last Saturday that Walter L. Cohen, prominent Louisiana politician, would be named as Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans. President Harding is expected to send his name to the Senate for confirmation as soon as the Senate reconvenes. The position pays $5,000 a year. The appointment is the first presidential one given to a colored man for a post in the South since the Roosevelt administration. Taft, in his inaugural address, decreed that no colored man would be given a Federal job in those communities where objection might be raised, and this excluded all from Southern positions. President Harding announced the same policy. When the Cohen appointment was announced as probable a few months ago it was said that the Democratic Senators from Louisiana would raise no objection thereto and that he had the backing of influential politicians and business men in New Orleans. Coming on the eve of the election, many volunteered the opinion that the appointment was announced to ward off theratened lukewarmness among many colored voters in the North and West. Mr. Cohen has been a conspicuous figure in Louisiana Republican politics for about thirty years. He was a delegate to national conventions in 1912-1916-1920, and was Register of the Land Office during the Roosevelt administration. War Savings Stamps 1918 Series. Due and Payable January 1, 1923 Washington, Nov. 18. 1922.—War Savings Stamps of the series of 1918 became due and payable on January 1. 1923. The people who bought these stamps will receive their full face value upon redemption and will find that the money they saved five years ago has earned every year about 4 per cent compounded interest. In order to afford holders of war savings stamps an opportunity to continue their investment in a safe government security the Treasury Department is offering an exchange of war savings stamps for treasury savings certificates. The certificates are issued in denominations of $25, $100 and $1,000. maturity value, and sold for $20,50. $82 and $820, respectively. Holders of war savings stamps can get them at these prices upon application through their own banks or their postoffices. Exchanges will be made as of January 1. 1923, upon applications presented between November 15, 1922, and January 15. 1923. Immediate payment will be made in cash of any difference due the holder of war savings stamps if he takes the largest possible amount of treasury savings certificates on the exchange. The growing inclination of the people to save and their desire to find a safe reinvestment for their money leads treasury officials to believe that a large part of the six hundred million dollars in war savings stamps soon to become due, will be exchanged for treasury savings certificates.

Plows Up Jar Of Gold Dollars Honkinsville, Ky., Nov. 9.—Henry Kendrick, aged 25, Negro laborer, plowing on Lionel Duke's farm in South Christian, unearthed a glass jar containing 568 gold dollar pieces, minted from 1840 to 1865. He sold his interest to John Boyd, lessee of the farm, for $200. Kendrick came here and bought a second-hand automobile, returning home Friday night. He ran over Herbert Johnson, aged 40. a farmer and world war veteran, crushing the latter's right leg. Johnson's leg was amputated at a local hospital. Kendrick was accompanied by Richard Boyd, aged 12, son of the lessee of Lionel Duke's farm, when he plowed on the jar. He turned over the jar to Boyd, his employer, and signed a quit claim on the money for the $200. There is said to be a high premium on some of the coins. The gold was evidently buried shortly after the Civil war. There is no clue to the original owner. Dyer Has New Bill St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 9.—Congressman L.

We will be pleased if a few of our men will bluster enough race pride or common sense to attend meetings of the N. A. A. C. P. and assist the women who have organized to do the work men should do. It is a deplorable fact that real race work in Wyoming organizations is executed by women. Mr. Will Christian has returned to Cheyenne to spend the winter season. Ask those men who are forgetful of their duties to the race. Those men who do not know the N. A. A. C. P. Ask them if they are aware the Ku Klux Klan is a strong, hustling organization of its kind.

Colored Votes Retire Two Foes of Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill Two congressmen who voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the House of Representatives have been retired by colored votes and defeated in their candidacy for re-election, according to announcement today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. The two congressmen are: Dr. Caleb R. Layton, Republican representative at large from the state of Delaware, and R. Wayne Parker, Republican representative from the Ninth New Jersey district. Delaware colored voters were roused by the untiring and courageous work of Mrs. Alice Dumbar Nelson, who put the facts before them, organized meetings, conferred with newspaper editors, and was instrumental in bringing the N. A. A. C. P. speakers into the campaign against Dr. Layton. Against both Dr. Layton and Mr. Parker, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People conducted a persistent and insistent campaign. The secretary of the association, James Weldon Johnson, and the assistant secretary, Walter F. White, both went to Wilmington, where they spoke before mass meetings organized by the local N. A. A. C. P., in conjunction with the Anti-Lynching Crusaders and the Independent Citizens' League. N. A. A. C. P. press releases were sent to white and colored newspapers throughout New Jersey, informing their readers that Representative Parker had voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the House of Representatives and urging that he be rebuked in the election. N. A. A. C. P. Branches in Parker's district were also urged to do all in their power to defeat him. The entire Republican ticket was elected in Delaware with the exception of Representative Layton, who voted against the Dyer Bill, and Senator Du Pont, whose defeat is partly due to his having persisted despite warnings from colored leaders in trying to force Layton upon voters who would not have him. According to figures from official 1922 registration, the Republicans had a margin of 7,000. There were, however, 12,000 registered colored voters in Delaware, and these proved decisive. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., issued the following brief statement in comment upon these results: "Colored voters had an issue in this election, and they made the most of it. That issue was the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and on the strength of it they retired two men who voted against it and who might, but for colored votes, have been returned to Congress. That is a convincing demonstration of power. This should be borne in mind in watching the Senate's action in reference to the Dyer Bill. The Republican margin has been reduced. But the Republicans can still enact the Dyer Bill if they want to. They and they alone are to be held strictly responsible or the fate of the Dyer Bill by colored voters." FOREIGN The French consuls at Mersina and Adana in Asia Minor have been expelled by the Kemalists. Four thousand Armenian Christians have been killed in the vilayet of Smyrna, and 8,000 more are missing, it was reported by the committee of bishops which has been investigating the plight of Armenians who took refuge in Smyrna after the Greek defeat.

Investigation of the Philippine National bank of Manila by a committee of six members of the Legislature is proposed in a resolution introduced jointly in the Philippine Senate and House. The resolution instructs such a committee "particularly to ascertain the truth of the reports of fabulous, exorbitant salaries paid bank officials and employers." A bank for farmers, sponsored by the federal government, is one of the projects now being considered by the Chamber of Deputies of Mexico City, following the presentation of a bill to that effect by the Co-operitista party, the dominant party in the lower House. The bank is designed to aid small farmers and will be modeled after similar institutions in the United States. Terrific havoc was wrought by fire which broke out in the Italian fleet in the harbor at Naples, said a Central News dispatch from Rome, received in London. The light warcraft Marsala, Russo and Aquila were sunk. Two gunboats were entirely destroyed. Four torpedo boats were also burned. The fire spread from the ships to the shore, destroying waterfront buildings, harves and barges. Since the resumption by Eamon de Valera of his title of president of the Irish republic and the reconstitution of the republican council of state, backed by the republican army, the war in Ireland has entered a new phase. Captured correspondence has revealed proposed war measures which have been submitted to the Valera for approval, and it is assumed that whatever is now done is with his sanction. The Spanish government, it was announced recently, denounced on Nov. 5, the commercial agreement made with the United States, Aug. 1, 1906.

During the boiling over of the second of two earthen tanks on the Gulf farm, near Humble, Toner climbed upon a third tank belonging to the Texas Company, and extinguished sparks which in a few minutes would have added 250,000 more barrels to the loss which was estimated to total 830,000 barrels. The prohibition enforcement measure on the California ballot, providing for making the Eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act the law of California, was defeated. Fire that threatened for several hours to destroy the frame buildings at Selfridge field, the army aviation post near Mt. Clemens, Mich., was brought under control after burning the structure housing the quartermaster's department. The stores destroyed and the buildings were valued at nearly $500,000. Fifty or more airplanes were removed from the hangars and parked on the flying field for safety. The Mississippi Supreme Court at Jackson affirmed the decision of Chancellor V. J. Strickler in the Hinds County Chancery Court imposing fines and penalties amounting to $8,055,075 on the fire insurance companies formerly operating in the state, charged with violating the anti-trust law by conspiring to control rates. The affirmation carries with it the full penalty imposed by the lower court. About 130 insurance companies are involved, the heaviest penalty against any company being $195,875. In a desperate but unsuccessful attempt to escape from the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., Joe Martinez, serving a sentence of murder, fatally stabbed A. H. Leonard, captain of the guards, and knifed four other guards, two dangerously. Martinez was shot by one of the guards and later taken to a hospital after he was found hiding in a coil bunker.

Last of Hawaiian Dynasty Came to the Capital to Seek Restitution of Her Prerogatives. Official Washington had put on her very best clothes and made ready to give royal welcome to a royal guest. True, this visitor no longer occupied a throne, nor was she ever likely to. She did not even move in the court circle, she was the court circle, and although that august body had moved around until it had reached its last lap, still, by nature of its former status, it was deserving of attention. This visitor was the last of the Hawaiian dynasty, Queen Lilluokalani, popularly known in this country as queen Lili, writes Margaret Bell in the Boston Globe. She was an imposing looking woman, not exactly handsome, as we understand the term, but of such obvious strength of character as to rally respect to her standard wherever she went. This particular visit to Washington was for the purpose of interesting congress in her affairs. Being no longer a queen with royal rights, she looked to this country to reimburse her for her sacrifices. Queen Lili's story is unique. When an infant she was given by her parents to another chieftain, a custom long fostered among Hawaiian royalty, because this exchange of children was supposed to promote good fellowship among the different tribes and harmony throughout the islands. At the age of four she was sent to boarding school, where she learned to speak English and think Christian. She spent all of her childhood and some of her young womanhood in school, and when she was twenty-four married an American, John Dominis, the son of a sea captain. She had twenty-nine years' comparative freedom; then her real troubles began. Her brother, the king, dying, Liliukalani became queen, but without the pomp and grandeur which usually accompany such social elevation. "Before I had time to collect myself," she said, "a trap was sprung on me by the wild hosts with whom I was surrounded." A document was thrust before her by the cabinet, greatly restricting her power. To this she objected and the storm broke. Queen Lil managed to keep her throne for two years. During that time her husband died and she found herself deprived of a very vital moral prop. The organization of a provisional government in 1893, under Sanford E. Dole, brought about her abdication and gave the islands one of the best administrations in their whole history. Ambitions began to stir within Lilluokalani, however, and urged her to plot to regain her throne. But there were enemies around her, and her ambitions were learned, with the result that Queen Lil was thrown into prison. That settled it. In eight days she renounced forever all claims to the throne. The government evidently did not place implicit trust in her, for although she was released from prison she was kept under close surveillance in her own palace for practically a year. Then on New Year's day, 1896, she was allowed full freedom, after signing a paper in which she declared her intention henceforth to live in absolute privacy and to avoid even the appearance of being concerned in public affairs. The remaining years of her life were marred by not the slightest deviation from this promise. She allied herself with no party and kept her political opinions to herself. She devoted herself to the writing of songs in her native tongue and traveling extensively in this country. On November 11, 1917, while other thrones were breaking, she passed away at the age of seventy-nine. Interrupted. My employer is a golf enthusiast, and when he has played a good game he never falls to give the office full particulars, with demonstrations, as he keeps his clubs downtown. One afternoon he left about four o'clock. Directly after I dragged out his clubs. Swinging the bag to my shoulder I advanced to the center of the large room. The force ceased working and watched me. I pulled out a stick, dropped a ball to the floor, and swung at it. "Gaze," I commanded, "on the greatest golf performer who ever missed a ball. Last week at Hillsdale I went around in 150, and I will now—" The door slammed behind me. He had returned—Chicago Tribune. Steeplejacks. Defy Death. A wager of £5 has inspired four steeplejacks, who have been repairing one of the tallest chimney stacks in the Mebden bridge district of Yorkshire to extraordinary feats, according to the London Westminster Gazette. They holsted a bicycle to the top, and on a wooden platform one of their number balanced himself on the saddle, while a second sat straddle-legged on his shoulders with outstretched arms. Two other thrilling feats were performed. One of the steeplejacks stood erect on a narrow iron spike on the top of the chimney. Then he selzed the topmost stave of a ladder, raised his legs to the sky and balanced himself for a few seconds on his hands as calmly as if he were on parallel bars on the ground. Thousands of spectators were thrilled by these extraordinary feats. SOLL DRINKS TAXI Yell CHAMPA 410 NIGHT & CHAMPA 26 DAY TAXI --- Oldest in Denver 1865 CUBTIS STREET Budding Romance Nipped.

Sweet, is beginning to groom himself for the great responsibility that will rest upon his shoulders for the years 1923-24, it becomes the duty of every loyal citizen to contribute to the best of their ability to promote the interests of Colorado, which in turn must result in the welfare of its citizens, and the fear of any interruption or impediment in the way of party opposition will sink in comparative insignificance before the large heartedness and liberal tendencies of the people of the great Centennial State. PATRONAGE—With the position of governor comes the usual role of patronage, and those who have worked hard and labored faithfully to secure Mr. Sweet's election will surely not be forgotten by a man, who in his general makeup is always grateful for whatever help is afforded him by his supporters, whether in business or along any other line. As the governor-elect expressed himself recently, the patronage list will not be numerous, as there are certain conditions that will be adhered to either legally or by custom, but he is going to do the very best to please as many as he possibly can, especially from a meritorious standpoint. It is evident therefore that those who have supported him all the way and have proven themselves capable of the positions, need not be alarmed, as Mr. Sweet, being a man of his word, will see that they are looked after, or use his influence to place them. THE COLORADO STATESMAN has no suggestion to offer in this particular, but is honest enough to reason that those of our people who heartily supported Mr. Sweet will not be left out in the cold, and with less anxiety and good judgment will become the beneficiaries of some important positions. BUSINESS IN GENERAL—The great preparations that are being made by the leading firms and general business heads prove that business is returning to normal conditions, and with the usual excitement attendant with an election campaign having been passed, our merchants have entered with a new spirit to throw their whole support to all state and county officials for the successful running of our government. With the return to normalcy therefore, THE COLORADO STATESMAN views with much satisfaction that the holidays, fast approaching, will bring renewed life and vigor into all Coloradoans, and every one striving to make the state the greatest and most profitable in the Union, will result in our not falling short of the MARK OF SUCCESS. NOT FOR OURSELVES BUT FOR OTHERS!! DENVER'S great, big heart has never yet failed in the hour when deeds of mercy were necessary to be performed. It has ever heeded with tender sympathy the sorrowing plight of victims of misfortune. For many months Denver citizens have noted with increasing interest and satisfaction the moulding into shape of one central, compact body to be known as the "Community Chest." Its immediate and direct purpose is to inaugurate a campaign to dispense charity and philanthropy throughout the city. It is an appeal to the community conscience, a visible marshaling of all the spiritual elements in the city, and the "Community Chest" movement will be a success in just proportion to which each individual senses his responsibility and responds to the divine principle that "It is more blessed to give than to receive." The poor you have with you always. No scriptural injunction is needed to drive this fact home to the hearts of all. The Community Chest drive to secure funds to properly care for the charities of Denver opened on the 17th and will continue until the 25th of this month. Within that brief period every one will be given an opportunity to contribute to this great cause. The appeal is universal. Every man and woman within the borders of Denver county should have their names on the list when the final counting is made. The hour has struck when each of us can be of service to our fellow beings. To help the needy, aid the afflicted and lift the fallen is one of life's most sparkling beatitudes. There are few of us but what can give something, and the joy of giving even a little should be as satisfying to those with limited means as that derived by the wealthy in giving much. The campaign cannot be made a success unless everybody does his or her share, and it should be done with a smile and a check. In other years during the drive of the federated charities the slogan appeared on every hand in pictured placards, "SUPPOSE NOBODY CARED." It carried with it the pathos of soul. Let the Community Chest so thrive this year that the answer will reverberate, EVERYBODY CARES. The storm of Saturday and Sunday last, with its stinging wind, its blowing snow and biting cold, amply mirrors the need of sacrifice. It is painful to reflect that there were homes in this great city where the coal supply barely covered the bottom of the bin. There were loving mothers whose eyes were wet with tears as she counted her few pieces of money, knowing that in spite of the snow and wind and bitter cold there was no way in which she could buy a warm coat or shoes for her children. There were homes where there was hardly food enough to last through the day. Our duty then is plain. We cannot escape the responsibility if we would. Supreme joy comes to the human heart only as it responds to the gentle touch of mercy and lives up to its sublime possibilities. There is infinite reward assured him who plants a new joy in the heart of the sorrowing. Those living in the depths know but little of the glory of the hill tops. For them the flowers drop, the days are short and the stars are far away. But who can say that in the final summing up of deeds and sacrifices they will not be placed above those to whom they appeal for bread and are given a stone. The COLORADO STATESMAN therefore calls upon all to lay upon the altar of charity their most generous offering and seek to do for these helpless needy ones what we would like to have done for one of our own in similar circumstances. "The spirit of the Golden Rule animates the Community Chest and all who help make it a success." ```markdown ``` College Education a Privilege and Not at All a Universal Right By ERNEST M. HOPKINS, President Dartmouth College. Too many men are going to college! The opportunities for securing an education by way of the college course are definitely a privilege and not at all a universal right. The funds available for appropriation to the uses of institutions of higher learning are not limitless and cannot be made so, whether their origin be sought in the resources of public taxation or in the securable benefactions for the enhancing of private endowments. It consequently becomes essential that a working theory be sought that will operate with some degree of accuracy to define the individuals who shall make up the group to whom, in CHRISTOPHER Justice to the public good, the privilege shall be extended and to specify those from whom the priyilege should be withheld. This is a twofold necessity: On the one hand, that men incapable of profiting by the advantages which the college offers, or indisposed, shall not be withdrawn from useful work to spend their time profitlessly, in idleness, acquiring false standards of living, and, on the other hand, that the contribution which the college is capable of making to the lives of competent men and through them to society shall not be too largely disassured by the slackening of pace due to the presence of men indifferent or wanting in capacity. We hear much of men seeking an education, but too often they are only seeking membership in a social organization which has reputation for affording an education, from which reputation they expect to benefit, but they can avoid being detached from the association. The assumption should be humorous if it were not so serious that enrollment with a college requires that the college shall either force education upon the individual man or surreptitiously bait him to it rather than that he should crave and at the cost of any effort possess himself of the utmost which the college can give. It would be incompatible with all of the conceptions of democracy to assume that the privilege of higher education should be restricted to any class defined by the accident of birth or by the fortuitous circumstance of possession of wealth, but there is such a thing as an aristocracy of brains, made up of men intellectually alert and intellectually eager, to whom, increasingly, the opportunities of higher education ought to be restricted if democracy is to become a quality product rather than simply a quantity one and if excellence and effectiveness are to displace the mediocrity toward which democracy has such a tendency to skid. Particularly Is It Necessary That Our Lawyers Should Be Educated Men justice to the public good, the privilege shall be extended and to specify those from whom the priyilege should be withheld. This is a twofold necessity: On the one hand, that men incapable of profiting by the advantages which the college offers, or indisposed, shall not be withdrawn from useful work to spend their time profitlessly, in idleness, acquiring false standards of living, and, on the other hand, that the contribution which the college is capable of making to the lives of competent men and through them to society shall not be too largely lessened by the slackening of pace due to the presence of men indifferent or wanting in capacity.

Particularly Is It Necessary That Our Lawyers Should Be Educated Men By HERBERT S. HADLEY, University of Colorado. The question will naturally be asked, conceding that higher educational standards would decrease the yearly crop of lawyers, would it improve the profession as a whole, the administration of justice and the confidence of the people in lawyers and the courts? Particularly is it necessary for the welfare of the country that our lawyers should be educated men within the best and broadest meaning of that term. If our system of jurisprudence consisted of a set of arbitrary rules; it was based solely on a system of logic or philosophy, one might properly become a practitioner who had not enjoyed a comprehensive general and professional education. But such is not the case. Our system of jurisprudence is the result of the struggles and achievements, the hopes and aspirations of men who have lived and wrought since civilization began. It consists of rules of conduct born of human experience and needs. So if one is to effectively understand and administer this system, we must understand history in its broadest sense, philosophy, logic, economics, sociology, and to know something at least of ancient and modern literature and science.

There's Liquor Lawlessness, of Course, but There's Nothing New About That By BISHOP THOMAS NICHOLSON, Methodist Episcopal Church. There's liquor lawlessness, of course, but there's nothing new about that. Licensed or unlicensed, legal or illegal, the liquor business in this country has always been lawless and always will be until it is exterminated forever. It is outlawed today chiefly because it always and invariably broke all laws by which decent public sentiment sought to keep it respectable. Generally speaking, it never obeyed regulations about killing to minors, intoxicated persons and habitual drunkards. It never observed closing hours when it could profitably disregard them. It obeyed only when it was forced to obey. It is the duty of every right-minded citizen to do all he can to forever eradicate this persistent law-breaking business and there is nothing more ridiculous and wicked than its plea that it should be restored because it proposes so persistently to defy the law the will of the people thus registered against it can never be enforced. If there is one thing above another which is the duty of American citizenship at this hour it is the strongest law enforcement.

After spending four months in Europe, I think I quite agree with the enthusiastic American who set forth his sentiments upon his return in the following language: "After comparing devastated France, wrecked Belgium, torn Italy, fired England, disorganized Germany, paralyzed Poland, mad Russia, rusted Japan and snake-ridden Mexico, I'm proud and willing to stand up before any bewiskered Bolshevist in the land and tell him I wouldn't swap these here forty-eight states, prohibition and all, for the whole European stew-pot." Surely the best way to learn to appreciate America is to go to Europe. In the light of old world civilization our own institutions take on a new and wonderful meaning. One thing which fills all Americans with pride is the tremendous strength and energy of this country as shown in its great relief projects. After spending four months in Europe, I think I quite agree with the enthusiastic American who set forth his sentiments upon his return in the following language: "After comparing devastated France, wrecked Belgium, torn Italy, tired England, disorganized Germany, paralyzed Poland, mad Russia, busted Japan and snake-ridden Mexico, I'm proud and willing to stand up before any bewiskered Bolshevist in the land and tell him I wouldn't swap these here forty-eight states, prohibition and all, for the whole European stew-pot." Surely the best way to learn to appreciate America is to go to Europe. In the light of old world civilization our own institutions take on a new and wonderful meaning.

Only the wealth and idealism of America would enable her to carry on such great relief measures. WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS By calling congress in extra session two weeks this fall, President Harding believes the ship subsidy legislation can be well under way if it has not been finally passed in the house by the time the regular session begins December 4. UNION When President Harding yielded to the desire of his party leaders and did not insist upon consideration of ship subsidy legislation in the last session of congress he let it be known that he would insist on its consideration at an early date. WASHINGTON.—Following a conference with President Harding, Representative Campbell (Kan.), chairman of the house rules committee, announced at the White House that congress would be convened in extra session November 20. The feeling is still strong that it will be impossible to get through any subsidy bill because of the pronounced opposition manifested in various sections of the country. Nevertheless the Executive wants congress to go on record on legislation which he feels must be enacted if America is to maintain a merchant marine. As chairman of the rules committee, Mr. Campbell has much to do with establishing the order of legislative business in the house, and he said the first matter to be taken up would be ship subsidy legislation. It is said that one of the reasons why it is likely that President Harding will not insist upon any important changes in the revenue law at the coming session is that he will center his attention on the ship subsidy bill and will be content to allow many other matters to go over until a later time. President Harding recently told Speaker Gillett that he wants to avoid calling the next congress in extra session after March 4. Mr. Harding believes the country would welcome a legislative holiday of nine months next year. Legislation Changing the Revenue Law Legislation Changing the Revenue Law LEGISLATION materially changing the present revenue law is unlikely at the coming session of congress, although recommendations along this line will be incorporated in the annual report of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, to be made public early in December. NOTHING DOING REVENUE LAW The feeling among Republican leaders is that the time is not quite ripe for pressing revenue legislation. Some changes are considered desirable in the present law, which was placed on the statute books in November, 1921, but it is the consensus that from a practical standpoint it would be unwise to attempt anything of a comprehensive nature at this time. Such recommendations as will be made by Secretary Mellon, it is stated, will be chiefly for the purpose of influencing public opinion in the direction which the administration believes the revision eventually should take. Secretary Mellon's recommendations will include those made in his annual report a year ago, such as a further reduction in surtax on individual incomes, a reduction from the high wartime estate taxes, and some method of raising necessary additional revenue by a tax on certain specific articles or a low-rate general tax on a broad class of articles or transactions. Passage of a bill amending the revenue law could be accomplished in the house without serious difficulty, in all probability. When the bill reaches the senate, however, it would be open to amendment, and in view of an agitation for radical measures, such as the restoration of the excess profits tax, higher estate taxes, and publicity of tax returns, it might be loaded down with provisions which would be more obnoxious to the present administration than the law as it stands. Each of the three recommendations meets with strong opposition from the radical element in congress. Big G. P. O. Cafeteria Is Something New building. After eating a hot meal served at cost price, they spend the remainder of their free time lounging in a restroom, or in the big assembly hall playing a phonograph and perhaps dancing. C This government bureau is the first to organize eating and recreational activities on a strictly co-operative and self-sustaining basis, with employees forming the board of directors and the various committees. It is also the only government bureau to run a cafeteria serving meals on a 24-hour-a-day schedule. THREE o'clock in the morning may suggest the end of a festive evening to some people, but it is simply lunch time to 300 workers in the government printing office. At that dim hour, when most of us would prefer dreaming about pie to eating it, the women who get the Congressional Record ready for the early morning mail stop folding and addressing operations to ent lunch. A fund of $4,500 was raised by contributions of $1 or $2 from every member of the new association, and with this capital the cafeteria started doing business January 23. Today George H. Farter, the public printer, estimates that 350,000 meals have been served and the cafeteria is saving the employees of the office $200,000 a year. The big government printing office has gone in for humanized efficiency. The G. P. O. Cafeteria and Recreation association is functioning. When the 3 n. m. lunch bell rings the Congressional Record workers hurry into the elevators that will carry them to the new cafeteria on the top floor of the The entire eighth floor of the big, red printing office belongs to the employees. There are restrooms, shower baths, a well-equipped bowling alley and a large assembly hall with a stage/ at one end. The employees bought a $1,400 grand piano for this hall. Healthier Children: Better Grownups THE story of efforts to make a nation of better grownups by perfecting the health of its children and making them happier was told at the annual convention of the American Child Hygiene association by Harry Hoover, its retiring president. It is the hope, Mr. Hoover said, that eventually "teen policemen may be replaced by one community nurse." CHILD HEALTH BODIES At the same time, Mr. Hoover announced virtually a completion of arrangements consolidating the two great voluntary societies engaged in the work—the child hygiene association and the child health organization of America. He also informed the concession of a plan by which a complete demonstration in every avenue of protection of child health is to be had through the munificence of the Commonwealth foundation which has guaranteed, for a term of years, funds aggregating $230,000 yearly for the work service would result from the combine. To the new and stronger agency, Doctor Kolt said, both professional and public groups interested in the work would look for help and expert guidance in matters relating to the health and physical development of children. Regarding the demonstrations to be had under the assurance of funds by the Commonwealth foundation, Mr. Hoover said that three cities would be selected for the work. One will be in the Far West, one in the Middle West and the other in the South, the secretary said. The plan would be in line with the society's educational purpose, he added. The merger of the two great health societies was declared by Dr. L. Emmett Holt, president of the child health organization, to be an event of significance and importance. He predicted more efficient effort, better administration and a greater opportunity for Mrs. Curtis Harris of 2452 Lafayette street, is indisposed with a bad cold. Mrs. Jerry Stone arrived home last week from a very pleasant visit with relatives and friends in Chicago. Mrs. James Root of 2217 Clarkson street, who has been sick for several weeks is much improved. MR. AND MRS. W. J.

Rahming, Dr. C. F. Holmes and our popular citizen, Robert Stewart, attended the vestrymen's dinner of the Episcopal diocese, Colorado, at the Adams hotel last Tuesday evening. Mrs. Katie Bradford of Topeka, Kan., and Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Mason of Kansas City, Kan., relatives of Horace Mason of 2409 Humboldt street, were his house guests for a few days before leaving for Tulsa, Okla. Mrs. Ethel Edwards of Keeline, Wyo., and Miss Rhodora Dawson of Casper, Wyo., daughters of Mrs. Dawson, arrived last Tuesday evening to attend the funeral of their relative, Mrs. Mary, E.

Evans, son of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Evans of 2352 Glenarm place, arrived in the city Monday from Salt Lake City, Utah, to visit his parents. He has just recently been discharged from the United States army service. The card party and social given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Contee, 2444 Franklin street, Friday night last under the auspices of the Woman's Guild, was a decided success both financially and in point of numbers attending. At the card party of the Women's Guild last Friday night, the first prize was won by Mr. Grant Jones. Eight-eight points instead of Mr. Richard Nunn, having only forty-eight points. Over sight in reading the list of names. Mrs. Emma Daniels of Los Angeles, Calif., passed through the city this week enroute to New York, where she will be the guest of her son, Danny Edwards, the clever bantam-weight prize fighter. Mrs. Edwards formerly lived in Denver, having left here about twenty-six years ago. While here she was the guest of her uncle, C. B. Hill of 2824 Stout street. The following persons were in the city last week to attend the funeral of the late Robert Maxwell; Mrs. M. A.

Beautiful beyond comparison is the only way possible to appropriately describe the delightful social function given by Mr. and Mrs. William J. Brasher, 1523 East Thirtieth avenue, last Friday evening. With a home of exquisite richness, the interior of which has been fashioned to meet the most modern ideas of home making, were dainty decorations and many beautiful flowers adorning cozy nooks, with every comfort of culture and refinement in evidence, the Brasher home was the scene, of one of the loveliest affairs of the season. A novel guessing contest was the feature of the evening in which Mrs. W. H. Phoenix won the ladie's prize and Dr. Clarence Holmes, the gentleman's. Those sharing the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Brasher were Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Holmes, Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Terry, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Phoenix, Mr. and Mrs. Mack Wright, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Thrower, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. D. Rivers, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Burns, Misses Linnie Anderson and Fairfax Richey, Mrs. Josephine Harding, Dr. Clarence Holmes, Mr. John Trusty and Mr. Wm. Sutton. NASH WALKER, PIONEER CITIZEN AND LOCAL CELEBRITY, DIES. With the passing away of the late Nash Walker, pioneer citizen and local celebrity of over forty years' residence in Denver and other parts of Colorado, one of the connecting links between the old and new Denver was snapped when he yielded up his life to the Grim Reaper Thursday, Nov. 9, after a period of nearly four score years of life. Mr. Walker was the father of the late George Walker, of the famous theatrical troupe of Williams and Walker, and was popularly known as a local celebrated character in his famous African Movement, which attracted much interest here and elsewhere. He was also a source of information to those who were anxious to gather first-hand knowledge of Denver in its territorial days, also its gradual rise into prominence. He was well thought of and held in much esteem by many of the leading colored and white business men, and his death is deplored by all classes of the community. Funeral services will be held tomorrow from the Douglass Undertaking Parlors at 2 p. m. Interment at Riverside. The Colorado Statesman mourns the loss of a man who in his own way contributed his share to the interest of the community and who lived his life for the cause of others. C. M. E. CHURCH NOTES C. E.

Roy; Vice president, George M. Williams; Secretary, C. N. Pitt; Treasurer, Dr. T. E. McClain; Chairman Entertainment; Leonard Todd. POPULAR AND HIGHLY RESPECTED PIONEER OBEYS HER LAST SUMMONS. Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Dyer, popular and highly respected pioneer citizen of Denver, Colo., responded to the last summons on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 11, at her late residence, 2552 Welton street, after a continuous illness of four years, suffering from paralysis. She was born in Huntsville, Ala., 65 years ago and came to this city shortly after her marriage to Augustus Dyer in Memphis, Tenn., residing in Denver for over thirty-one years. Mrs. Dyer was quite familiar with its development and on many occasions she was depended on for substantiating facts relative to our municipal growth, religious, educational and social advancement in the community. The deceased was very prominent in church and fraternal circles, having been a staunch member and supporter of Shorter A. M. E. Church for over thirty years, during which time she took an active part in all church activities. She was also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Lone Star, chapter No. 15, for over twenty-eight years, and was very devoted to the principles of the order. She was especially interested in children, thereby gaining the respect of all classes in the community, having won herself into the confidence of Denver citizens. In the home she was untiring in her efforts toward comfort, improvement and cheerfulness. As a builder and helper in the religious and social life of her people she admirably filled her place, and as an adviser and consoler to the youth, as well as others of advanced years, she was never found wanting in times of trouble and distress. Having borne her illness for so long a time with such Christian fortitude, her exemplary life and character can only remind us "In the most of life we are in death," the very oft-repeated Biblical expression which has been proven again and again in this life, and in this event comes with more than ordinary empressiveness, as we pause for a moment to pay our last respect and tribute to the memory of a dear, beloved woman who is now enjoying the rest that remaineth for the people of God, and who, having been borne aloft to a reward meritorious, utters with the exultant Christian, "Thy Will Be Done." The funeral services were held last Wednesday at Shorter A. M. E. Church under the auspices of the Eastern Star, while the Rev. W. H. Thomas, pastor of the church; Rev. I. S. Wilson of Campbell A. M. E. Church, and Rev. H. E. Rahming of the Episcopal Church performed the sacred rites. The choir was in attendance, with Miss Mabel Cole as soolist. Quite a large number of persons of both races attended, and amidst a profusion of rare and beautiful floral offerings the body of Mary E. Dyer was laid to rest in Fairmount Cemetery, leaving a devoted husband and a host of friends to mourn the loss of one who accomplished much for suffering humanity while she lived among us. The funeral directors were the Douglass Undertaking Company.

RIVER PACT IS MADE GOVERNORS OF SEVEN STATES INVITED TO ATTEND MEETING OF COMMISSION. Santa Fé, N. M.—The Colorado river commissioners have drawn up a compact for the allotment of the water of the Colorado river. The commission has agreed finally upon the main principles of a treaty which will be entered into between the seven states in the river basin and the federal government. The commission, headed by Herbert Hoover, its chairman, began its meetings here in executive session on Nov. 9. The commission did not announce all of the details of the compact. Its announcement said the agreement will provide for dividing the basin into two groups. Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico will be placed in the upper division, while Arizona, Nevada and California will be in the lower division. These divisions will divide the waters of the river. The commission did not announce where the water passing from one division to another would be measured, nor did it announce the technical details of the compact, such as the agreement reached upon the actual figures covering the volume of flow of the river. Much of the commission's time was occupied in the discussion of technical details of this kind. No announcement was made, either, concerning any provision for possible future requirements for the Republic of Mexico. A provision, however, was made for the summoning of a second commission in later years to provide for an equitable division of the unallotted water the present commission apparently not being desirous of taking full responsibility for all time for division of the flow of the river. Agriculture will be given preference in rights for use of the water of the stream, according to the commission's announcement, and none of the existing rights in the river will be disturbed. Chairman Hoover announced that the commission was in full accord regarding the urgency of immediate erection of control work to protect the Imperial Valley, California, from floods. The commission had not completed the actual language of the compact. Governors and governors-elect of the seven states of the basin have been invited by Chairman Hoover to come to Santa Fe before the final agreement is signed. The legislatures of the seven states in the basin must ratify the compact before it becomes effective. Congress also must approve it to make it effective. Asks New Trial for Mrs. Clara Phillips Los Angeles, Calif.—Mrs. Clara Phillips, convicted of second degree murder for beating Mrs. Alberta Meadows, young widow, to death with a hammer, will seek a new trial and if that is denied will appeal from the verdict, it was announced by Bertram A. Herrington, her attorney. "There is a fatal error in the record and finally Clara Phillips will be freed," Herrington said. "I will not quit the fight until she is." State Senate Election Results In Tie Common Peals Judge Edwin Cummins ruled that seventeen votes cast in the fifth precinct of McDonald were illegal and the consequence was that the official count showed 12,757 votes for Col. James E. Barnett and the same number for George B. Sprowls. A special election will probably be held. Disagree on Tourist Camps. Kansas City, Mo.—Discussion as to whether tourist camps are beneficial to cities maintaining them occupied the convention of the City Managers' Association here for one day. "There is serious doubt in my mind," said E. C. Elliott, Wichita, Kan., "as to the desirability of tourist camps. I have definitely decided that their maintenance is not a civic duty. It is not right to tax the people to provide lodgings for visitors in motor cars. It would be equally just to so accommodate visitors on trains." Ship Director to Form Cabinet. Berlin—Wilhelm Cuno, director general of the Hamburg-American steamship line, has been commissioned by President Ebert to constitute a new cabinet. Herr Cuno entered a conference with the party leaders to ascertain their attitude toward supporting "a cabinet of work," which he purposes to organize. This will comprise members of the Middle and Social parties, but, according to Herr Cuno, will not have an outspoken partisan complexion.

After watching the volume of water pour over the American side of the falls several minutes she inquired: "Do they turn it off at night?" The girl probably had in mind the water at the Indiana Soldiers and Sailors' monument at Indianapolis, which pours over the stone work there and is turned off late each night. —Indianapolis News.

MRS. ROBERT MAXWELL AND RELATIVES. Tennis in Ancient Days Henry VII was a special devotee of tennis, and had a court built for himself at Windsor, whilst Henry VIII it was who built the famous court at Hampton court, where it may be seen to this day. Tennis was indeed ever a game of kings and princes. Kings of England and kings of France vied with one another in their devotion to it, whilst the courts of both countries followed the royal lead. The faithful Pepys is peculiarly faithful in his references to tennis. Mortality Statistics.

A phone screen covered with plain and figured cretonne, and providing a place for records of telephone numbers and calls will be welcome to men and women alike. Ever Welcome Bags TOTO Christmas time is the springtime of bright cretonnes when they blossom out into all sorts of ingenious and beautiful gifts. The picture shows a work or shopping bag folded and unfolded. It is merely a capacious oblong bag of cretonne, with small envelope, bound with braid, sewed to one side, and, by means of snap fasteners, it can be folded and converted into a pretty shopping bag. This Year's Camisoles ```markdown ``` Every Christmas brings its camisoles and this year's are the daintiest ever. Many of them are made of net and lace, like the model pictured here; others, less transparent, of crepe de chine satin, wide ribbons or georgette. Baby ribbon adjusts them at the bust line and flat elastic at the waist. They are easily made and are lovely gifts from woman to woman. For Men or Women O Christmas brings its pretty candles gayly decked out this year with sealingwax flowers, or paluted and glided. They make lovely gifts for men or women, and so will the ribbon or cretonne-covered picture frame, fastened to a glass front and cardboard back with gold braid binding. The cardboard back is cut out to form an easel support. Gay Little Pin Trees M We can help start the new year right by giving Christmas gifts of little pin trees to our women and girl friends. Two corks and a florist's pin, sharpened at both ends, make the foundation for the pin tree illustrated. The large cork—of wood—is painted green and the smaller cork is glided. They are joined by the long pin, and into the glided cork many pins, with colored heads, are thrust, to form a tree. A band of baby ribbon, tied about the larger cork, holds small safety pins. Smart Nanette Fans ```markdown ``` These brilliant little Nanette fans began their careers humbly in France, one of them, as a plain, small palm leaf and the other as a plaited fiber fan. By means of paint, satin ribbons, organdle or millinery flowers they have graduated into the smart set and will accompany gay frocks to joyous parties. One of the fans pictured has a shirred binding of ribbon in green. Its handle is bound with ribbon, finished with a loop and organdle roses in soft colors adorn it. Painted flowers or millinery flowers and foliage adorn the plaited fan and ribbon covers its handle. Among House Slippers ```markdown ``` Most people look to Santa Claus to provide them with house slippers and he always carries a generous supply of all kinds in his pack. This year you will find among them beautiful bedroom slippers, like those shown above, that are made of ribbons and adorned with little ribbon flowers. To Remember the Baby 1980 Everyone wants to remember the baby and here are two blibs for him, one of them made of pink and white Turkish toweling and the other of honeycomb cotton. The square blib is bound with tape which provides the ties and the edges of the smaller blib are finished with a shell crochet of mercerized cotton. DRY SEA RULING AND SHIP SUBSIDY MANY THINK THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S ORDER WILL HELP PASS THE MEASURE. CONGRESS TO DECIDE IT SOON Chairman Lasker's Appeal to Save the Merchant Marine Leads to Wonder That Americans Cannot Do Without Liquor a Few Days. By EDWARD B, CLARK Washington.—Tightened by a court decision, the lids are on the pewter pot and the wine glass on American vessels, and on foreign vessels sailing this side of the three-mile limit. So it is that now a fact, a condition and a theory, all in one, are here either to plague or to please the public, if the ultimate conclusion of actual prohibition on the part of the high seas is reached. There have been charges in Washington, as elsewhere, that certain things which have been said and certain printed references which have been made to financial disaster in case of prohibition on the high seas are part of a plan to help the cause of ship subsidy in the halls of congress. These charges, of course, come from men who do not like the ship subsidy and they are combated by friends of subsidy just as strongly as they have been made by its enemies. One thing today seems to be definitely settled and that is that congress will vote on the question of a ship subsidy within a few months. What the result will be of course no one but a prophet with the highest kind of honor can tell. It is said today that the men "mentally opposed" in congress to a subsidy outnumber those who are at heart friendly to it, but arguments may prevail to win a majority for subsidy, and the arguments that have been and will be advanced, the friends of subsidy say, are sufficiently strong to win the case. It is not the intention here to discuss the virtue or the lack of virtue of ship subsidy legislation. There are some elements in what may be called the accompaniments of ship subsidy legislation which are not perhaps without their human interest and one of them is the matter of the American travelers' appetites for whisky, beer and light wine on the high seas. Chairman Lasker's Views. It was only the other night that there was a little crossfire of speech in the city of Chicago between Attorney General Daugherty and the shipping board chairman, Mr. Lasker. It is held possible in Washington that this interchange, in connection with some other things, may have its influence one way or the other on the administration's ship subsidy plans. Chairman Lasker said in his speech that with the subsidy a loss of $50,000, 600 a year could be ended within two and a half years. Mr. Lasker has said at other times that the American merchant marine, so far as its passenger service is concerned, cannot enter into competition with foreign vessels if they are allowed to sell cocktails, highballs, straight stuff and wine, while the American vessels are prohibited from so doing. As things are today, no American vessel can sell liquor on the high sens to its passengers and foreign vessels cannot enter our ports unless they get rid of the stuff outside of the three-mile limit. This in a way puts the foreign vessels on a par, so far as the liquor business is concerned, with the American vessels, but it is stating only the truth to say that few legal authorities believe the inhibition will be maintained against the foreign vessels by the highest court of the land. Why Not Be "Dry" a Few Days? So it seems likely that eventually the foreign vessels will be allowed to continue to sell drinks while the American vessels will have to stop selling them, and this leads up to a matter which it has been intimated might be the point of the thing. Without any idea of discussing the rights and the wrongs of prohibition, without any thought of intimating that a man ought not to drink or that he ought to drink, it might be said that it is extremely curious from one point of view that even Americans who want to drink and who are going to travel abroad cannot curb their appetites for the seductive thing during the six or eight days that it takes to cross the ocean to a place where they can get all they want to drink, either for the benefit or the "unbonefit" of their souls and bodies. Even drinking men here say that if Americans would use American ships when they travel the passenger traffic of our marine would pay for itself, and the sage drinking men, or a good many of them at least, intimate that an American who is not willing to go dry for the six additional days that it takes him to cross the ocean is not a very good American. Drink waits on the other side of the water and passengers on any dry ship can have their six or eight days' anticipation, which some people think is more pleasurable than realization, and in the case of drink a good many men will say they are right. Paring Down the Army. Queer things happen in government. The secretary of war and the general of the army today are earnestly urging that the personnel of the commissioned force of the army shall be increased, and at the same time a board of general officers, acting under the law, is at work eliminating more than 1,000 officers from the army. Everybody has been told before this that the army has been shot to pieces. So it has. Congress has cut it down and of course the contention is advanced that the present force is utterly inadequate, even for the purposes of pence. Seemingly, however, both Republicans and Democrats in congress, or a majority of them at any rate, think that the army ought to be further reduced. It is much more likely that there will be reductions than increases. Men who think that the future holds possibilities of trouble look with fear on any further disunion of the army, but as the men who think that no trouble ever again is going to come, are in the majority, the army probably will go the way of further reductions until something happens to make people wish that the country had a police force. It is something for sympathetic Americans to know that the board of general officers which has the thankless task of elimination in its hands is composed of high-minded men who will see to it that those who must leave are those who are the least competent to continue their work. It is going to be a hard thing to prove to any one of the officers who must seek other employment that he is less worthy of retention than anyone of those who is retained, but, knowing the process of study of the records and the caliber of the men who are doing the studying, it can be said that no injustice knowingly will be done. These Are the "Eliminators." The members of the board of general officers are: Maj. Gen. Joseph T. Dickman (retired), president of the board; Surgeon General M. W. Ireland, chief of the medical corps; Maj. Gen. Henry F. McCain (retired), and Maj. Gens. Ernest Hinds and Andre W. Brewster, of the active list. All of these officers are men of high service with unimpeachable records. It never does to look for trouble, but the history of the past, so far as the army is concerned, shows that there always is trouble when promotions, demotions or discharges become the necessary order of the day. Whenever volunteer or drafted forces have come into being there have been accusations that regular officers were being favored at the expense of volunteer officers, and that West Point cadets have been favored at the expense of non-cadets. It can be put down that, as certain as it is going to ra趴 again some day, there will be charges that favoritism figured in the findings of this board of elimination when its findings are made public. Your correspondent believes that every charge of this kind will be baseless. May Alter Tariff Schedules. May After Tarmil Scheduled. The tariff commission is just about to get down to its work. The President is contemplating, through the tariff commission after inquiry, the reduction for some duties which he thinks are too high. It is not at all beside the mark to say that it is possible the thoughts of the President on this subject may be the thoughts of a majority of his party in congress. However, the congress which passed the tariff bill put in it a provision under which the President will act through the tariff commission in the work of raising or lowering schedules, as it may be found that the business of the country demands. It is a new thing which is to be tried out. The lawmakers fixed rates and then fixed a means by which after inquiry the rates could be changed. It is not known definitely yet just how far the President, working through the tariff commission, will go in the matter of changing some of the schedules. There are both Democrats and Republicans here who say he will have trouble on his hands if he attempts to change any of the duties which his party has enacted into law. Controverting this, there are plenty of high tariff Republicans in congress who are ready to say they are willing to trust the matter entirely in the hands of the President and to rest on the judgment of the inquiries of the tariff commission. Already several petitions have been received by the tariff commission in which downward revision is requested on some of the schedules. Also some requests have been made for increases in some schedules. It is certain the commission will have work enough on its hands. There is unquestionably in the Republican party an element which hopes that the President working through the commission will do something to lower some of the present tariff rates. There also unquestionably is another element in the party which does not believe that any tariff rate can be too high. There are some few high protection Democrats in congress, notwithstanding the fact that the party as a party is for lower rates on most of the things which today are "high in the customs." The tariff in recent years has become less and less of a real party issue in one sense, because certain manufacturing interests in strong Democratic strongholds have demanded high rates of duty, while certain agricultural interests in Republican strongholds have demanded lower rates on a good many articles. As a whole, however, the Republican party is the champion of high tariff, and the Democratic party the champion of a low tariff. Fish, which devour mosquito eggs and larvae, were successfully used to suppress a yellow fever epidemic in Peru when all other methods had failed.

We Are Anxious to Help THE CLASSROOM School Children at Lunch—Waiting for the Hot Dish. If the children are interested in their own school lunches and are taught how to pack them properly, they will not only take this task off the mother's hands, but help to suggest foods which give the necessary variety for a well-balanced diet. Children should be taught to prepare sandwiches well and to pack them neatly in waxed paper so they will neither fall to pieces nor dry out before they are to be eaten. An occasional discussion of foods suitable for the school lunch will lead to surprisingly good suggestions from the children themselves, as to what they like to have or what other children bring. When hot cocoa, milk, or soup can be obtained at school the children are better off. Efforts should be made by groups of parents to establish the serving of at least one hot dish with the school lunch. Sandwiches Most Substantial. Sandwiches, because of their convenience, are usually the substantial part of the basket lunch. By varying the bread occasionally, using whole wheat, graham, Boston brown bread, raisin, date or nut bread, or split buttered rolls or biscuit, cinnamon or other buns, the lunches will not seem so monotonous. In addition to sliced roast or boiled meat, bacon, chicken or rabbit may be used. Chopped meat or ground meats of any kind, chopped hard-boiled eggs, moistened with salad dressing, cottage cheese, peanut butter, nut meats, or cooked fish are good filling for sandwiches and also supply small amounts of protein for the midday meal; lettuce, tomatoes, and other salad materials with dressing make palatable moist sandwiches and intro- RECIPE FOR MAKING PURE PORK SAUSAGE Suggestions Made by Department of Agriculture. To 65 Pounds of Fresh, Lean Meat Add 35 Pounds of Fat—Spices Should Be Mixed and Added Before Meat Is Ground. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) Good pork sausage is always in demand. The following recipes for making it are recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture: Take 65 pounds of fresh, lean meat and 35 pounds of fat. Add to this $1 \frac{1}{4}$ pounds salt, 2 ounces fine sage, 1 ounce ground nutmeg, and 4 ounces black pepper. The spices should be mixed together and added to the meat before it goes through the grinder. Cut the meat into small pieces and put through the grinder, using the small plate. After it is well ground, mix thoroughly, to be sure that it is uniformly seasoned. No water should be added if the sausage is to be stored away in bulk. If it is to be stuffed in casings, a little water may be necessary to soften the meat, so that it will slip easily into the casings. Smoked Sausage. The following ingredients are used in making smoked or country sausage: Cut the meat into small pieces and sprinkle seasoning over it, then run it through the grinder, using the small plate. Put it away in a cool place for 24 to 36 hours, then add a little water, and stuff into hog casings and smoke in a very cool smoke until a dark mahogany color is obtained. Corn Meal Mush With Pork. 1 round lean pork, 1 teaspoonful salt part meat and part $ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoonful pow- bone, dered sage. 1 cup corn meal. Water. Cook the pork in water until the meat can be removed easily from the bone. Remove the meat, cool the broth, and remove the fat. Reduce the broth to about a quart, or add water enough to bring it up to this amount, and cook the corn meal in it. Add the meat finely chopped and the season- ings. Pack in granite bread tins. Cut into slices and fry. Beef may be used in the same way, the United States Department of Agriculture sug- gests. duce some vegetables into the lunch; while sweets may be supplied by a jam, jelly, or fruit butter sandwich, honey, brown sugar or maple sugar filling, or by cookies, cakes, dates, raisins, figs, sweet chocolate, or other sweets easily carried. Fruit should be included as often as possible. Children sometimes have a prejudice against salads. This may be because the first salad tasted was not just right. If they have been accustomed at home from an early age to salads with dressings containing very little vinegar or acid, and made with good oil in perfect condition, they will cultivate a liking for them and enable the mother to provide both salad vegetables and salad oil, two valuable foods in their diet. Prepare Lunch Carefully. In packing the lunch basket every precaution should be taken to keep the foods clean and in good condition. Foods that spoil easily should be avoided in warm weather. Paper napkins or towels and thin waxed or parchment wrapping paper are inexpensive, especially if bought in large quantities. These not only protect the lunch but the children's clothing. Washable napkins may be used instead, but they are more troublesome and are likely to be lost. Sandwiches, sweet foods and fruits should be wrapped separately and the heaviest things put at the bottom of the lunch box. Cup custards, apple sauce, jelly and other soft foods can be carried in paper cups or cartons, in small screw-top jars or covered jelly glasses. Milk from home is desirable whenever it can be carried, if no provision can be made for serving it at school. RIGHT CREAM FOR WHIPPING Should Be From 24 to 48 Hours Old and Contain at Least 30 Per Cent of Buttertat. The best cream to whip is good, rich cream, from 24 to 48 hours old, says the United States Department of Agriculture. It should contain at least 30 per cent butterfat to produce ideal results, and be kept very cool. Pasteurization tends to lower the whipping quality of the cream, and homogenization is very harmful to it. Combined they practically destroy the value of cream for whipping. Use for Breadcrumbs Breadcrumbs may be used instead of flour in many dishes, the United States Department suggests. Bakers often use stale bread and dried, finely ground cake in place of part of the flour in making fancy breads, cakes, and cookies, and the housekeeper can often avoid waste by using them in this way in griddlecakes, cakes, cookies, gingerbread, brown bread, etc. Washington Oilcloth Wash oilcloth with warm water and milk. Use one cupful of skim milk to one gallon of water. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE Panned chicken is delicious served with currant jelly sauce. ** * * Bury the yeast cake in salt if you wish to keep it a while. ** * * * Folding wardrobes made of chintz or cretonne can be secured ready made, but any woman can make one for herself. Children who are inclined to be constipated should be allowed to eat five or six figs a day. This helps a great deal. *** If plain clothes are folded immediately after being taken from the line, they can be ironed twice as quickly and need little sprinkling. * * * Clotheslines should never be left out of doors when not in use; they should be carefully dried and put away, otherwise they will soil and mark the linen. * * * Woolen stockings that are past repair can be put to many uses. Cut off the feet, draw one stocking over the other, fold and sew up one end, and you have an excellent glove for polishing anything. The KITCHEN CABINET The other fellow's. Who is the man who seems to get Mary's attention with least regret, Who always seems to win his bet? The other fellow. Just ordinary food served in an extraordinary way is what epicureans call fancy cookery; an art in which the French chef excels. It takes imagination to serve an egg so daunting, so tasty, so attractive, that it is ar- ery; an art in which the French chef excels. It takes imagination to serve an egg so dainty, so tasty, so attractive, that it is artistic. Such a dish is Planked Ham With Eggs.—A slice of ham minced and moistened with cream sauce is spread on a fireproof platter with depressions for each egg which is to be placed on it. Drop an egg in each small nest, season, place the dish in a hot oven to set the eggs. Serve corned beef hash in the same manner and garnish with parsley. A plank may be used, but must be very hot when the meat is placed upon it. Salad Anna.-Cut half-inch slices lengthwise of head lettuce. On these sections lay alternately segments of orange, grapefruit and tangerines from which all tough skin and membrane has been removed. Serve with French dressing beaten smooth with a spoonful or two of catsup. Celery With Cheese Sauce.-Cook celery cut in small pieces until tender. Butter a baking dish or individual baking dishes, put in a spoonful of celery, some seasoning, then a spoonful of rich white sauce; cover with grated cheese, finish with buttered crumbs and bake in a hot oven until thoroughly heated through. French pastry owes its charm to its frivolous appearance, shape, color and decoration. The same ingredients used in the ordinary way would not appeal. We have (the most of us), not passed from the ginger-bread-man stage; we like the taste of food that appeals to the eye, imagination and color sense. The allurement of attractive food draws us to out-of-the-way places, and the most popular places where food is served are those which cater to the magic influence of well-prepared and well-garnished food. Stafford Sausages.—Put six ounces of lean beef through the meat chopper, add one small onion, two branches of parsley. Add one cupful of coid corn mush, one teaspoonful of salt, a few dashes of cayenne, one-half teaspoonful of poultry dressing; mix well to blend. Mold into sausages and fry until a golden brown in hot fat. Oh, wisdom of the gods that made us! When the dog-cart of life at which we tug mires utterly, we still can silp the collar.-Clyde Davis. MORE GOOD THINGS When serving boiled fish, cook it in a steamer or dropped in water tied in a cheese cloth. Remove, drain, bone and skin the fish, divide into fillets and serve with 鱼 Fingaree.—Take the juice of half a lemon, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one tablespoonful of finely-minced onion, two tablespoonfuls of minced parsley, one teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of mustard, one-half teaspoonful of paprika, half a clove of garlic, the yolk of an egg and three tablespoonfuls of water. Put the butter, lemon juice and seasoning into a saucepan and bring to a boil, add the yolk of the egg and water but do not boil; stir until well blended and thick and remove from the hent. Serve at once. Braised Swt. tbreads.—Wash the sweetbreads using one-half pound, cover with cold water and add the juice of half a lemon. Let stand for two hours, then simmer in hot water for twenty minutes, cool and press under a weight to flatten. Remove the tubes and cut in slices. Place two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan, add the sweetbreads and one tablespoonful of chopped onion, one cupful of mushrooms, and when well-heated arrange on squares of buttered toast and cover with Supreme Sauce.—Take one cupful of cream sauce, the juice of one lemon, one well-beaten egg, one teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of paprika, one teaspoonful of onion juice, pinch of powdered cloves, the same of nutmeg. Heat until very hot and pour over the sweetbreads and toast. Garnish with finely-minced parsley and sliced hard-cooked egg. Pumpkin Pudding.—Take one and one-half cupfuls of well-cooked pumpkin, add one cupful of milk, the yolk of two eggs, a third of a cupful of sugar, one tablespoonful of melted butter, a teaspoonful of ginger, a few drops of lemon extract and a little salt. Mix well, pour into custard cups and bake for an hour in a slow oven. Set the cups in a pan of hot water. Garnish with whipped cream and grated cheese. This pudding is better for children than the old-fashioned pumpkin pie. IMPERIAL CAFE MR. AND MRS. E. R; PAGE, PROPS. Our Service Is Unsurpassed 715 EAST 26TH AVE.
