THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY EX-COTTON KING IN BALTIMORE JAMES S. WILLIAMS INVESTS EARNINGS IN KITCHEN, FACTORY AND BRICK YARD FORMER GEORGIAN TELLS OF DIFFICULTY HE HAD LEAVING THE SOUTH VOL. XXIX. EX-COTTON KING JAMES S. WILLIAMS IN KITCHEN, FACTORY BUYS FARM O FORMER GEORGIAN TEL HAD LEAVING T A KITCHEN for the poor, a com- fort factory, and a five-kiln brick- yard are some of the things in which James S. Williams, former wealthy Georgia planter and cotton king, is investing his money here in Baltimore. Just eleven months ago Mr. Williams decided to quit the South and come to a section of the country where he would not have to hide his hard- earned money in the woods to keep it and where he could breathe the free air of men. He selected Baltimore. For many years, because of the fact that for several successive seasons Mr. Williams won the prize offered by the Southern Cotton Growers' Association for the first bale of cotton ginned he was known as the Georgia cotton king. He owned a rich and fertile farm near Savannah, Georgia, and was said to have accumulated a competence in the neighborhood of $300,000 when a series of misfortunes, including the lynching of an only son and the sudden and unexplained death of his wife made him decide to quit the South. After making his plans he came to Baltimore last April and has since been quietly settling himself into the life and activities of the city. Has Kitchen for Aged Poor The first thing Mr. Williams called to the attention of a representative of the Afro-American, and the thing which he seems to be most proud is the kitchen he has established at his place on Pennsylvania avenue to distribute food and clothes to the aged poor. Mrs. Martha Snowden has charge of this kitchen and has served food daily to any poor and needy aged people who can be reached. At this place on Pennsylvania avenue, Mr. Williams also has in course of construction a $35,000 plant which when completed will include a comfort factory with a capacity of employing fifty women, a three-story apartment and an office. On a 150-acre farm which he has acquired near Naval Academy Junction he has in course of construction a five-kiln brick yard. Here will also be conducted a lime kiln and rock crusher. This farm site, which was originally the old Dr. Adams' estate, is one of the richest farms in this section and he is building here a $25,000 residence. He has also invested in properties 541 and 539 Hoffman street, as well as 1115 Division street. Had Difficulty in Leaving South Men who have physical property in some parts of the South have much difficulty in getting it away, said Mr. Williams. Although apparently I had many white friends, I had much difficulty in getting my effects away. Notwithstanding the fact that the South mistreats her colored men and women, they don't want them to leave, and above all they don't want them to take wealth away. In Jasper county, Georgia, in which Mr. Williams formerly conducted his farm, there are many men of means, he says, that would leave if they could State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House profitably dispose of their property. Thinks Baltimore Needs More Racial Co-operation When asked what he thought of the city of his adoption, Mr. Williams said that the one thing needed here was more racial co-operation. I am working wholly alone in the establishment of some business enterprise when if there were men willing to co-operate we could establish many times as much. Honesty and unselfishness in conducting business, he thinks the keynote to his own success. If the colored people of this city could marshal its forces under unselfish organization along business lines it would be one of the most progressive communities in the world, he said. * * * The above article appeared in the Afro-American of Baltimore, June 1, 1923. Negro Churches Should Wield Greater Influence in Worldly Affairs Negro Churches Should Wield Greater Influence in Worldly Affairs Mr. Roger W. Babson, the world's greatest business statistician, writing in the Presbyterian Continent, says that the great power of the church over the masses is waning rapidly before the encroachment of corporations, business enterprises and worldly affairs, and the church is wondering why it is losing its grip on the masses. He states that the church should not be content to merely build beautiful and costly edifices of worship, but should be interested to the extent that they secure, own and operate various business enterprises. Instead of preaching and scolding about obnoxious conditions, the most effective way to handle the problems would be for the church to be a factor in the determining fashions in clothes, housing conditions, amusement facilities and investment opportunities. Applied to the Negro's wonderful development along business lines might be accomplished if a few of the thousands of dollars wasted annually in the building of over costly churches were devoted to the building of Negro hotels, apartment houses, theatres, office buildings, amusement parks, etc.; and modern methods used in directing the thoughts, motives and associative activities of the masses. Mr. Babson goes on to say "Church is wondering why it is losing its grip on the masses. It wonders why lodges, mutual benefit associations, insurance companies, theaters and other organizations are growing so rapidly while the church is lagging behind. One real reason is that the church is using out grown methods to reach the people, while lodges and mutual benefit associations are using modern insurance methods. Therefore if the church is truly as serious in its desire to accomplish results, its members will endeavor to acquire control of the newspapers, movies and billboards of the communities." BLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1923. Threaten Life of W. L. Cohen Louisiana Appointee Warned Against Accepting Position—Other Port Officials Have Also Received Threatening Letters New Orleans, La., May 26.—Federal authorities were called upon today to make rigid investigation into the writing of anonymous and threatening letters to Walter S. Cohen, Negro, recently named comptroller of customs for the Louisiana port, as a recess appointment by President Harding. Not only were the threening letters sent to Mr. Cohen, but Emile Kuntz, Republican collector of customs, and others of the officials about the offices here were warned that should Cohen take the position, they too would be dealt violence. The letters, which have been turned over to the postoffice inspectors, threatened death for Collector Kuntz, in event the nomination of Cohen is confirmed by the Senate, while others declared Cohen would be killed should he be confirmed. Signed "K. K. K." and "White Supremacy" Several of the letters were signed "K. K. K." while others which were sent to Collector Kuntz protested to the appointment of white women in the same office with Negroes and was signed "White Supremacy." Migration May Stop Lynching Says N. Y. Evening World Newspaper Suggests Negroes Foster Migration From Lynching Districts Suggestion is made to colored people that they foster the migration of their brethren from lynching districts, in an editorial published in the New York Evening World. Says the editorial: "If farmers and planters of a county were certain that a lynching would be followed by the immediate departure of every field hand, the more responsible would find it profitable at least to elect sheriffs who would insure against such a walkout at a time when cotton demanded cultivation or when the crop was ready to pick. Certainty that labor would be expensive and hard to find would be a real deterrent to lynching outrages." Negro Postmaster In Pennsylvania Town Washington, May 29.—Appointment of Charles S. Mayhugh, colored, as postmaster of South Mountain, Franklin County, Pa., was announced today by Postmaster General New as he was leaving the White House following the meeting of President Harding with his cabinet. The appointment was made on the recommendation of Senators Pepper and Reed, and Representative Edward M. Beers of Mount Union, Mr. New stated. "The appointment is evidence of the falsity of the Democratic charge that Republicans only appoint Negroes to office south of the Mason and Dixon line," said Mr. New. "It shows Republicans do not draw racial or sectional distinction in filling public offices on a merit basis." Frank Statement By Dr. Du Bois Mars The Solemnity of the Memorial Exercises at New York City; Others Died of Broken Heart, Said General Sladen Col. Roosevelt Also Speaks New York, May 28.—The solemnity of the occasion was marred when the remarks made by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois somewhat excited Brigadier General Fred Winchester Sladen, Commandant of the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York, who was present to deliver an eulogistic address over the remains of the late Colonel Charles Young, United States Army, Dr. Du Bois had remarked that Colonel Young died of broken heart as a result of the treatment he received by officials of the War Department. Gen. Sladen, who claimed to be a friend of Col. Young, and who by the way was a classmate of his, took, of course, a less sentimental view. For a time heated words passed between the two men, the head of the Military Academy laying aside his prepared oration to defend the military arm of the Government against this assuasion. Among other things, Gen. Sladen said, "There were others who died of a broken heart because the War Department saw fit to retire them on account of their physical condition." He concluded his remarks by saying "I make this point to show that Young was not singled out specially." Other speakers at the meeting were Civil Service Commissioner Moton, who advised Negroes to "fight for their rights and privileges," and Col. Theodore Rooseveit, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, who eulogized Col. Young, declaring that his father had planned to place Col. Young at the head of a Negro regiment which he had hoped to organize during the World War. 'Shuffle Along' Hero Signs Contract for $106,000 Yearly to Star for Film Corp. 'Shuffle Along' Hero Signs Contract for $106,000 Yearly to Star for Film Corp. To Split Salary With Manager—Will Be Seen in Full Length Production Chicago, June 6.—The Southern Film Company of Chicago, which has been experimenting with one-reel Negro comedies peopled by all colored casts, will presently plunge on a full length production. The Valentino of this company is none other than Noble Sissle, hero and librettist of "Shuffle-Along" at the Forest Theater. For him will be built a production big with laughter on his return from Europe in the fall. Sissle yesterday signed a contract with the president of the film company. Sissle was asked what salary he would want. He hadn't believed all he had read about the fortune of Douglas Fairbanks and Wm. S. Hart, and stuttered: "I think I ought to have t-t-t—" "How," interrupted the president, "would two thousand a week do, to be split by yourself and your manager, Mr. Al Mayer?" "Just what I was saying," was Sissle's inspired response, and he wrote his name on the contract. Admits Charge of 10-Year-Old Girl Gets Prison Term Admits Charge of 10-Year-Old Girl Gets Prison Term Case of White Man and Girl Attracts Nationwide Attention Corpus Christi, Tex.—Willie LaRue (white), 26 years old, confessed father of the son born four months ago to 10-year-old Mary Cavander, today was sentenced in Twenty-eighth District Court to serve fifteen years at hard labor in the state penitentiary. Little Mary, who has been living at the Mission Home in San Antonio since she acquired her little, live doll, was not present in the court-room when sentence was passed. An Irish orphan, whose birthday falls on St. Patrick's day, she was taken in the LaRue home upon the death of her parents three years ago. She romped and played about the farm near Mercedes in Hidalgo county on the Rio Grande until she was brought to San Antonio. She was the only witness for the state in the trial of LaRue, who was given a change of venue, because of intense feeling against him in Mercedes, and identified him as her abductor. LaRue acknowledged in court that he believed himself father of the girl's baby, and stated that he was willing to accept the jury's verdict as to his punishment. The state had asked the death penalty be imposed, but attorneys for the defense pleaded extinguating circumstances both in the statutory charge and in the fact that LaRue was not contesting the charges. LaRue's mother and others told the jury that his reputation had previously been good. 3000 Hear Dyer in Chicago; 2000 Clamor to Enter Hall 3000 Hear Dyer in Chicago; 2000 Clamor to Enter Hall A crowd of 3,000 people heard Representative Leonidas C. Dyer in Chicago, urge colored and white people to join with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in pressing for enactment in the next session of Congress, the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Two thousand people clamored to gain admission to the hall, which was crowded to the doors, according to a telegram received at National Headquarters of the N. A. A. C. P., 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Mr. Dyer is closing his tour for the N. A. A. C. P. with meetings in Indianapolis, Detroit and Toledo. As a consequence of Mr. Dyer's strong endorsement of the N. A. A. C. P. and its work, 433 new members were enrolled at the Chicago meeting and pledges were received from 250 persons. 52 Students Compete Only Six Successful Negro Stands Second Urbana, Ill., June 1.—Frank S. Rankin, a Savannah Negro youth who is studying medicine at the University of Illinois, recently took the examination for the position of senior bacteriologist in the Chicago Health Department. Out of the 52 competitors only six passed the examination and Rankin came second among the successful number. NO.34. Negro Migration Forebodes Ill To South, Says Solon Negro Migration Forebodes Ill To South, Says Solon Washington, D. C., June 6—Declarating that the Negro population is leaving South Carolina rapidly and that in his opinion many more were going to leave, Senator Dial of that state said today: "While many people think that this is to the advantage of the South—and it may be in the long run—yet serious consequences will result to many landowners in the very near future. Some may say that we will get the white population to take the place of the Negro—and this is to be hoped—but it can not be done at once." The senator, who has been investigating the possibility of securing foreign labor to replace the migrants, had a long interview with the Swedish and Norwegian ministers. These gentlemen informed him, he said, that many of their countrymen had come to America, but that they usually sought the middle West, as it had a climate similar to their native country. He said in effect that they were splendid agriculturists but hardly interested in growing cotton. The senator advises southern farmers to grow more diversified products and make cotton a surplus crop. Such a possibility, he suggests, is a long way off. CAN'T KEEP UP WITH NEGRO POLITENESS Atlanta, Ga., June 7.-White people were urged to refrain from using elevators reserved for colored people in the sky scrapers here by the Junior Chamber of Commerce which made the matter the subject for its luncheon last Thursday. A spirited discussion was held also on the matter of keeping hats on in elevators in which women were riding. "Colored men invariably remove their hats in the elevators set aside for them and it's a deuced nuisance to keep pace with their politeness," said one speaker. BOULDER, COLO., NEWS We were sorry to learn of Mr. James Clay of 640 Concord having such a serious accident. While working at his carpet-cleaning place of business recently, located on Arapahoe street (east), he in some way became unconscious and fell over the steam hose and was badly scalded before he came too. He got home in some way and is confined to his bed under a physician's care. They fear he may have another stroke, as his age is against him. We hope for the best. Mr. Young, one of the men of our group who had a contract to work on the streets, repairing the street, met with a very painful accident recently. While he was working a car hit him and threw him forty feet; then nearly ran over him. They killed the engine just in time to keep from crushing his life out. He has been paralyzed from his hips down. We extend our sympathy to him and his wife in this the hour of their distress. The Baptist Church had a very nice Bible reading Sunday morning. Rev. Murphy, at Allen Chapel, spoke from the 55th Chapter of Isaiah Sunday night. His subject was "The Sinner's Opportunity." Next Sunday is Children's Day exercises. Mrs. E. G. Chrysler is still slowly improving. Mrs. Hall, who has been suffering so long from a stroke, seems in some way to be better, but she is weaker from not using her limbs. We hope for the best. Mrs. H. Graves needs to be commended for the unselfish and faithful care she has given her mother during her illness. Mrs. S. Tompson is still improving. The re-opening or re-dedication of Allen A. M. E. Church, of this city will be held Sunday, June 17, at 3 p. m. Improvements to the amount of $500 are being made on the church edifice, and a very interesting program will be rendered on that occasion. Would be pleased to have everybody present. FOREIGN Four persons were killed when a military airplane crashed to earth at Tripoll, according to a dispatch from Rome. The French government has conferred the order of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor upon Conte Nast, publisher of periodicals in New York, Paris and London. A son and heir was born to the hereditory Prince of Monaco. The child was named Rainer Louis Henri Maxence Berbrand. A salute of twenty-one guns was fired in honor of the event. Word was received in Berlin that three persons were killed and thirty wounded in a fight between Bavarian Fascist and Socialists at Feucht near Nuremberg. The trouble began when Fascist broke up a Socialist meeting. The advance to Rumania of 100,000,000 francs by the French government, which was criticized in the Chamber of Deputies by the Socialists and Communists, was decided upon two years ago, it was explained at the foreign office in Paris. The threat of stokers and foremen on French steamers to strike unless assured they will receive their usual daily allowance of wine when in New York harbor has raised an issue that probably will be made the subject of diplomatic correspondence with Washington. The building of a radio station in Warsaw, which will be one of the most powerful in the world, has been undertaken with a view to giving Poland the opportunity of direct communication with western countries without having to rely upon communications through other states. The labor unrest in the province of Tucuman caused by the strike of sugar mill workers, is increasing in gravity and further attacks upon the mills by the strikers are reported. The owners decided to close all the mills numbering 20 because of inadequate protection from the authorities, thus paralyzing the entire Argentine sugar industry. Trade unionism in Great Britain is passing through anxious times. The membership during the last two years has decreased more than 1,500,000 and the accumulated funds, which had reached nearly $300,000,000 have been exhausted by the heavy drain of unemployed benefits. The general council of the Trade Union Congress is planning a "Back to the Union" campaign in an endeavor to make up the loss in membership. The statement of the council is that there are 15,500,000 wage earners in Great Britain, of whom only 6,500,000 are members of trade unions. GENERAL Mrs. Nanette Anderson, who was arrested when the automobile she was driving crashed into another car, is the first Chicago woman to be sent to jail for speeding. A. Lindsay Craig, general passenger agent for the Union Pacific railroad at Omaha, and well known in railroad circles of the nation, died at Omaha today from sleeping sickness. Hurling herself from an eighth-story window in Philadelphia, Miss Laura Pahl, 30, a stenographer, was dashed to death. A note in her typewriter begged "forgive me." Frederick G. DeWitt, who figured in the double tragedy at Denver a few days ago, and who had been well-known in New York for many years, was a spectacular figure in one of the most bitter of the continual political fights that took place twenty-five years ago in New York City, when the municipality was consolidated into five boroughs. DeWitt was swept into office as district attorney of Queens county in 1908 by the "Log Cabin party," a strong body of Democrats who rebelled against the leadership of Borough President Joseph Cassidy, boss of the Democratic party in Queens county. Fire in the hold of the freighter William A. McKenney, which arrived in Los Angeles recently from New York, was extinguished after it had burned twenty-seven hours and caused damage estimated at $150,000. The Eleventh district of the Associated Advertising Clubs of America chose H. H. Fawcett of Colorado Springs president. The district includes, Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Wyoming. Last year Mr. Fawcett was vice president. Under the ruling of the associated clubs the office of vice president of districts has been eliminated and district presidents have been created. Although there is little indication of any widespread movement to store up coal, bituminous production in April reached 42,000,000 tons, the largest April tonnage in recent years except 1918, according to the May business conditions report of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Some producers, however, have been storing coal and industrial consumers are showing considerable interest, the report said. Spot prices declined nearly 10 per cent April 5. Bound for the West and Northwest, more than 400 well-to-do Swedish farmers arrived in New York on the Swedish-American liner Drottingholm from Gothenburg. The immigrants said that they had been informed that farmers were in great demand owing to the movement of young American soil tillers to the city. Samuel Gomper., president of the American Federation of Labor, urged Governor Smith to sign the Mullan-Gage repeal bill, withdrawing state of New York from support of federal authorities in enforcing the Volstead law.

Melvin Blackburn, 19, was charged with first degree murder in an information filed by Prosecuting Attorney J. W. Taylor of Twin Falls in connection with the death of his 18-year-old wife. Mrs. Blackburn, it is explained, died after taking a dose of poison she believed to be medicine, which she had received through the mail. Sheriff Charles G. Gragg and a possse were searching the hills near Santa, 25 miles southeast of St. Mariss, Idaho, for Frank Strand, a bachelor homeester who is alleged to have shot and killed W. W. Wedel, a neighbor, in the yard of the Wedel home. The killing was witnessed by Mrs. Wedel and four of their five children. Three surf bathers, members of a party of picnickers, were caught in a rip tide and drowned at Redondo Beach, Calif., a few days ago. They were Ernest Goodpasture, 32 years old, and his brother, Victor, 40, of Huntington Park, and William Lyons, 29, of Inglewood. Laurette and Dorothy Cline, sisters, of Huntington Park, were caught in the same tide, but were rescued by life guards. Theft of a jewel box containing more than $50,000 in valuables was reported to the police at Los Angeles by Mrs. J. M. Engle, who said the box disappeared several days ago while being moved to her new home in Beverly Hills. Mrs. Engle delayed reporting the loss, she told authorities, in the belief that a careful check of articles received at the new residence would reveal the missing gems. WASHINGTON The resignation of Charles E. Lobdell as head of the Farm Loan Board was accepted by President Harding, who simultaneously announced the appointment of L. J. Pettyjohn of Dodge City, Kan., as Mr. Lobdell's successor. President Harding intervened to save the job of George L. Williams, 57 years old, hero of a mail robbery at Jefferson City, Mo., in 1921, where he is a laborer in the postoffice. Williams was injured by the robbers, whom he later helped to convict, and was left jobless by a change in the contract for mail messengers. Because of his age, he was eligible only for temporary appointments and would have been succeeded by a younger man had it not been for the President's action. Lieut. Wendel K. Phillips, army aviator, was killed at Aberdeen, Md., when his plane crashed as he was taking off for a flight. State statutes prohibiting the use of foreign languages in public, private and parochial schools in Iowa, Nebraska and Ohio, and eighteen other states, instructing pupils below the eighth grade, were held invalid by the Supreme Court. Deportation proceedings against James Dale, an English actor now in New York, were cancelled by the labor department. Investigation of charges made against Dale by an English woman, authorities at Ells Island reparted, showed no evidence to justify the proceedings and a warrant issued for him was withdrawn. In a statement criticizing the administration of the packer and stockyards act by Secretary Wallace, the People's Reconstruction League announced that at the next session of Congress it would propose an investigation and seek a transfer of the administration from the Department of Agriculture to the Federal Trade Commission.

Boulder.—A mountain camp, in the Kossler Lake section, a few miles west of Boulder, was dedicated at Boulder recently by the outgoing and incoming student officers of the University of Colorado. The associated students have acquired a camp site of 160 acres and have erected upon it a lodge capable of accommodating 200 persons. Denver.—Notices to more than 1,000 owners of patents to homesteads and other land claims in Colorado have been sent out by the federal land office in an endeavor to have the owners take possession of the patents, the great number of which occupy considerable office space. According to Martha E. Spears, register, some of the patents were granted more than forty years ago.

This racial calculus is bound to be of great benefit if each of these elements will give more careful study of self before venturing a too near approach of the other fellow. And yet we cannot find out the ambitions, hopes and aspirations of a people unless we come in close contact and rub elbows with them in various walks of life. Next week a student conference is to be held in Estes Park, with representative students and teachers from several western and middle west states. We are not fully informed as to the full course of subjects that will come within the range of this conference, but it looks well for the general good of a country when its student body will seek a summer retreat to give serious thought and study to problems affecting our national life. That this is at least a partial program of the conference is evidenced by the fact that two of our ablest race leaders and thinkers have been invited to address the conference. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook and Attorney S. E. Cary will represent our group at this conference. Our interests will be safe in their hands. They have been called upon before to speak to inter-racial groups, and they have always championed our cause nobly. This is not the main thought, however. By the very logic of our scheme of government it is not beyond the scope of possibilities that from the student body meeting in Estes Park in 1923, a congressman, or senator, or governor may come in a few years. Some or many of them may assume the reigns of authority over the municipality, commonwealth or nation. May-hap a thought or suggestion from the lips of our representatives may so deeply penetrate the souls of some of those in attendance at the conference as to have a marked effect upon their whole perspective of the Negro and his burdens in after life. The opportunity is indeed a great one and we are glad we are to be given a hearing before such a conference, and that our cause has been placed in such capable hands. CREATING AN ISSUE FORWARD looking American citizen fear and trembling, lest the 19 us with no defined issue to make Republican and Democratic parties, drawn and of sufficient cleavage to initiate campaigns next year that has been raised by a Democratic governor and threatened breach in the Harding s World Court to Wilson's League of I can citizens they looked very much distinguishable only by a difference in parentage was rendered doubtful by publicans were preparing to desert what they believed to be a Wilsonian crats looked upon our President as League of Nations.

For American citizens who for some reason, lest the 1924 presidential election issue to mark the line of democratic parties, need fear no more but cleavage to insure one of the dear that has been waged since the governor and at a convening of the Harding support over the men's League of Nations. To me, very much like twins, occur a difference in names. Ever doubtful by the great similarity to desert the Harding to be a Wilsonian offspring with our President as simply a wet thus we were getting pretty close to the tariff ideas of the two dark for something over which dear. But Gov. A. C. Smith once has been found and the wet and for a stubbornly contested campaign is an out and out dry and for a platform must be moulded in another words, the Republican party of the question in no uncertain other hand the next Democrat in the hands of the wets. Giving the bill repealing the stunt Tammy Hall was directly back delegation is a powerful factual party and with the added set of possibly Indiana, he will have hosts in the battle of 1924 one acceptable to the New York at the issue will be between that a dry candidate on the D election than one of wet proch victory unless there is a wow next twelve months. This is a modification of the presentidential election. FORWARD looking American citizens who for some time have stood in fear and trembling, lest the 1924 presidential campaign creep upon us with no defined issue to mark the line of difference between the Republican and Democratic parties, need fear no more. A line has been drawn and of sufficient cleavage to insure one of the hottest and most bitter campaigns next year that has been waged since 1896. The issue was raised by a Democratic governor and at a convenient season to save a threatened breach in the Harding support over the similarity of his pet World Court to Wilson's League of Nations. To many thoughtful American citizens they looked very much like twins, occupying twin beds and distinguishable only by a difference in names. Even the responsibility of parentage was rendered doubtful by the great similarity, hence many Republicans were preparing to desert the Harding household because of what they believed to be a Wilsonian offspring within, while many Democrats looked upon our President as simply a wet nurse to the orphaned League of Nations. Thus we were getting pretty close together, and with no great difference in the tariff ideas of the two major parties, the outlook was exceedingly dark for something over which we might enthuse and "whoop-er-up" next year. But Gov. A. C. Smith of New York has saved the day. An issue has been found and the wet and dry question is going to furnish material for a stubbornly contested campaign in 1924. President Harding is an out and out dry and as he is certain of renomination, his party platform must be moulded along the lines of his personal wishes. In other words, the Republican party will be forced to take up the dry side of the question in no uncertain tones. They must speak out. On the other hand the next Democratic national convention is certain to be largely in the hands of the wets. Gov. Smith did not reckon without his host in signing the bill repealing the state prohibition law. He knew his party and Tammany Hall was directly back of him. He also knew that a New York delegation is a powerful factor in the national convention of any political party and with the added strength of New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois and possibly Indiana, he will have much to say as to who will lead the Democratic hosts in the battle of 1924. It may be Governor Smith himself or some one acceptable to the New York executive. And while it is certain that the issue will be between the wets and the drys, it is equally certain that a dry candidate on the Democratic ticket would have less chance of election than one of wet proclivities, yet neither can carry their party to victory unless there is a wonderful shift in public opinion within the next twelve months. This is not impossible and we may see a material modification of the present drastic prohibition laws follow the next presidential election.

Would Reorganize Society Into Three Legally Established Classes By PROF. WILLIAM McDOUGALL, Harvard University. WOULD fundamentally reorganize society into three legalized classes. I would place the reins of government and control in the hands of a ruling class to be known as A, or citizens of greatest worth, and their power would be all-er complete. I would deny the vote to the millions of illiterate, inefficient, and convicts, and designate them as Class C citizens to restrict the number of offspring in this class by a deliberate dictated by principles of national ethics. Between the upper and lower classes would be an intermediary number of this class would be compelled to serve a problem from twenty to twenty-five years before being permitted to rule class. In Class B would be placed all the offspring of A parents, with the opportunity to prove whether they were or down. I would prohibit marriage between the upper and the result of such a system would be to place the political nation in the hands of a reasonably select body of men and nation would thus be fortified against the tendency to die. The A class of full citizens would be protected against the inequality through the intermixture of inferior blood. Under the influence of an ethics in which the national identity recognized the function of parenthood would be restored in honor and importance it has enjoyed in every heart society. We might hope to see the family re-established as the founders, the true social unit, and the nursery of those national to alone raise us above the level of savage life. By its devilish mind may hope to rise to higher and higher levels of culture. What Was All Right in 1794, but There Was No National Pirates Now" WOULD fundamentally reorganize society into three legally established classes. I would place the reins of government and national control in the hands of a ruling class to be known as A, composed of citizens of greatest worth, and their power would be all-embracing and complete. I would deny the vote to the millions of illiterates, mentally deficient, and convicts, and designate them as Class C citizens. I would restrict the number of offspring in this class by a deliberate social control dictated by principles of national ethics. Between the upper and lower classes would be an intermediary, Class B. Members of this class would be compelled to serve a probationary period of from twenty to twenty-five years before being permitted to join the ruling class. In Class B would be placed all the offspring of Class A parents, with the opportunity to prove whether they were fit to go up or down. I would prohibit marriage between the upper and lower classes. The result of such a system would be to place the political power in each nation in the hands of a reasonably select body of men and women. Each nation would thus be fortified against the tendency to die away at the top. The A class of full citizens would be protected against the lowering of its quality through the intermixture of inferior blood. Under the influence of an ethics in which the national principle was fully recognized the function of parenthood would be restored to the position of honor and importance it has enjoyed in every healthy and stable society. We might hope to see the family re-established as the foundation of the state, the true social unit, and the nursery of those national traditions which alone raise us above the level of savage life. By its development alone mankind may hope to rise to higher and higher levels of happiness and culture. "That Was All Right in 1794, but There Are No National Pirates Now" By LIEUT. M. M. WITHERSPOON, United States Navy. man in Indiana stopped me several days ago and he said that we are a navy officer. What in the world does the navy give us here in Indiana and Illinois?" I said to him this: We brought the navy into existence for the farmers. We woven and grain to all parts of the world. The pirates in the North Africa stole our wheat and our corn. They took our seas, but we did not have any navy and we did not want a navy. We a ransom of $3,000,000 a year, but still they took our wheat, until, driven to desperation, in 1794, we built our ships, the Constitution and the Constellation, to protect our corn." He said, "That was all right in 1794, but there are no pirates today." I said to him this: Don't you believe there are no pirates in the world today, would see how these national pirates have sliced up Chinese lives, how they have sliced up Africa among themselves, would like to slice up the United States of America among you would agree with me that there are today as great in the world as there ever were in 1794." We have our Monroe doctrine; we have our Panama canal; lands in the Pacific and the Atlantic. All of these need to be and we need a navy to protect them—a 100 per cent navy. Can We Bring the People to Accept Any Scheme of Promotion A man in Indiana stopped me several days ago and he said to me, "I see you are a navy officer. What in the world does the navy give the farmers out here in Indiana and Illinois?" I said to him this: "We brought the navy into existence for the farmers. We were sending corn and grain to all parts of the world. The pirates in the northern part of Africa stole our wheat and our corn. They took our seamen prisoners, but we did not have any navy and we did not want a navy. So we put up a ransom of $3,000,000 a year, but still they took our wheat and our corn, until, driven to desperation, in 1794, we built our first two battleships, the Constitution and the Constellation, to protect our wheat and our corn." He said, "That was all right in 1794, but there are no pirates in the world today." I said to him this: "Don't you believe there are no pirates in the world today. I wish you could see how these national pirates have sliced up China among themselves; how they have sliced up Africa among themselves, and how they would like to slice up the United States of America among themselves, and you would agree with me that there are today as great national pirates in the world as there ever were in 1794." We have our Monroe doctrine; we have our Panama canal; we have our islands in the Pacific and the Atlantic. All of these need to be protected, and we need a navy to protect them—a 100 per cent navy. Nor Can We Bring the People to Accept Art by Any Scheme of Promotion By ROLLO WALTER BROWN, in Harper's Magazine. We shall not develop a race of geniuses overnight. Nor can we believe that we can bring the people to accept art by any succession. Fortunately, we need to do neither. We need one artistic impulse have a chance. It is strong wherever youth may say that we have less of it in America than has been. In truth, if we accept the judgment of Europeans to us occasionally and write books about us, we possess more of the active kind of idealism, the lyrical qualities of art and militant adventure that might be turned easily into art. It should become legitimate to try, if every one who secretly tries a little, occasionally the trying would be done by the need the magic. And whether the magic appeared immediate at abundance or not, we should be availing much. We should bring both ends of a process that, we must remember, is mutual in the words of a sensible critic who writes today, we should bring the artist with a small public "who will encourage his artist, to do his best, not his worst"; and in the words of a longer walks among men, we should be making an adequate hold of all the good artistic faculty born in the country, a trotto lost among the hill shepherds." Story of a Champion of State Rights Worth Cause Is Now No More We shall not develop a race of geniuses overnight. Nor does any one believe that we can bring the people to accept art by any scheme of promotion. Fortunately, we need to do neither. We need only to let the artistic impulse have a chance. It is strong wherever youth is found. No one may say that we have less of it in America than have other peoples. In truth, if we accept the judgment of Europeans who look in upon us occasionally and write books about us, we possess more than our share of the active kind of idealism, the lyrical qualities of enthusiasm and militant adventure that might be turned easily into artistic creation. If it should become legitimate to try, if every one who secretly wished were to try a little, occasionally the trying would be done by the one who possessed the magic. And whether the magic appeared immediately and in great abundance or not, we should be availing much. We should be helping both ends of a process that, we must remember, is mutual. In the words of a sensible critic who writes today, we should be providing the artist with a small public "who will encourage him to be an artist, to do his best, not his worst"; and in the words of another, who no longer walks among men, we should be making an adequate effort to "get hold of all the good artistic faculty born in the country, and leave no Giotto lost among the hill shepherds." The Story of a Champion of State Rights Whose Cause Is Now No More By WILLIAM CABELL BRUCE, in "John Randolph." was a statesman, John Randolph of Roanoke is to be judge, better-day tests. He was a public man of the early Nineteenth century, and there are statesmen of lost as well houses. If for no other reason, his position as a statesman is because he was the "unusual phenomenon" of the house (borrowed from John Adams) during the brief, dewy era of the establishment and reform and new-born Republican principles which on as nearly a universally popular messiah as the diverse convictions will ever permit any man to be. Secondly, because his searching common sense, eloquence and the integrity, even in opposition, scotched many an ill-digestive measure. Thirdly, because he fully deserved the tribute paid to solutions, adopted at Prince Edward Court House (Virginia As a statesman, John Randolph of Roanoke is to be judged by no such latter-day tests. He was a public man of the early Nineteenth and not of the Twentieth century, and there are statesmen of lost as well as of won causes. If for no other reason, his position as a statesman is secure, first, because he was the "unusual phenomenon" of the house (to use a term borrowed from John Adams) during the brief, dewy era of frugality, retrenchment and reform and new-born Republican principles which made Jefferson as nearly a universally popular messiah as the diversities of human convictions will ever permit any man to be. Secondly, because his searching common sense, eloquence and incorruptible integrity, even in opposition, scotched many an ill-digested and pernicious measure. And, thirdly, because he fully deserved the tribute paid to him by the resolutions, adopted at Prince Edward Court House (Virginia) a few weeks after his death, which ran in these words: "Resolved, that in his death we deplore the loss of the most intelligent, the most consistent and the most intrapid advocate of the rights and sovereignty of the states."

Mr. Allen Collins, 1018 East Twenty-third Avenue, has been indisposed for several days. He is now on the road to recovery, to the delight of his many friends and acquaintances. The COLORADO STATESMAN acknowledges receipt of an invitation to the Commencement Exercises of Westminster Law School, held at Central Christian Church, Thursday night, at which time our good friend and fellow citizen, Thomas Kerney Price, blossomed out as an attorney at law. Our congratulations are extended Mr. Price and we predict for him much success and prosperity. Hon. W. H. Green of Detroit, Mich., secretary of Negro Dept, Gen. Conf. S. D. A., at Washington, D. C., passed through Denver Thursday morning en route to Colorado Springs, from an extended visit to southern California points. Mr. Green was much impressed with Denver during his short stay here.

Admission Free. LEON DE LOACH, one of our prominent young citizens returned last Saturday after several months' visit in New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other eastern points. He reports that our people are making rapid progress in business and are creating very favorable impressions in the large metropolitan cities. He notes also quite a development in religious, social and musical circles and predicts a splendid future for our people who are determined to accomplish. Mr. De Loach appears in very good health and we welcome his return. MISS MARCELLA PARSONS, one of our very promising students of Colorado State Teachers College is among twenty-eight students who were given certificates of proficiency in the Order of Gregg Shorthand Artists. These certificates are given to those only who make ninety per cent in the test sent out by the Gregg Company and therefore Miss Parsons is to be congratulated for such success. She is the daughter of Charles Parsons of 2602 Gilpin Street, who is an employee of several years standing with the Denyer Club. She was a winner of a scholarship last year at Manual Training High School where shew as much liked by pupils and teachers. Dr. C. M. Taylor, Ph.G., of Boley, Oklahoma, has been in the city for several weeks as the guest of Dr. and Mrs. S. A. Stripling, 803 East Twenty-sixth Avenue. Dr. Taylor did some review work in her line of work while here and expressed herself as having profited by the review. While here, she was the recipient of a full share of Denver's unusual and unexcelled hospitality. She is determined to "COME AGAIN." Dr. Taylor is one of the proprietors of the leading Race Drug Stores in the city of Boley, Oklahoma. HEWETSON-WATSON, local reporter on the staff of The COLORADO STATESMAN was painfully injured last Tuesday evening at 8:30 o'clock near his home, Twenty-fourth Street and Glenarm Place. He was knocked down by an automobile which made a sharp turn at the corner. Mr. Watson declares that he was crossing Twenty-fourth Street from east to west and had almost succeeded in reaching the sidewalk when the automobile coming along Glenarm and appearing to continue east suddenly turned into Twenty-fourth within four or six feet of the curb. He tried to get out of the way and was knocked unconscious but while no bones were broken he suffered severe lacerations on the head and face and a sprained right shoulder. We hope him a speedy recovery. PROMINENT NEW YORKERS ARE GUESTS OF DR. AND MRS. E. F.

Mesdames Bagley and Robinson have been life-long friends, and in early girlhood planned to at tome time make an extensive trip together. Their life's ambition is now being realized with a tour covering practically the entire United States, and will carry them into Alaska before returning to their home state. They were greatly impressed with the beauty of Denver and the general hospitality of her citizens. Thursday morning they left for California and Old Mexico, after a pleasant social function in their honor Wednesday evening with Mrs. Canty as host- DR. AND MRS. CANTY ENTERTAIN NEW YORK FRIENDS Mrs. Anthony Bagley and Mrs. Mamie Robinson of New York were guests of honor at a delightful house dancing party, given by Dr. and Mrs. E. T.

LEVELL REMODEL THEIR HOME Mr. and Mrs. John W. Levell have converted their pretty little cottage at 2546 South Broadway into a most convenient and handsome bungalow. The entire interior has been re-arranged and remodeled, with one long, beautiful living room of exceptional attractiveness. These coupled with new fixtures and furnishings throughout make the Levell home one of the most attractive of Denver's many beautiful homes. Last Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. Levell entertained at a brilliantly appointed dinner of six courses, as a house warming event. Among those sharing an evening of unusual pleasure were Mr. and Mrs. Robt. T. Roy and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Gross. LENA FISHER WINS Lena Fisher, represented by S. E. Cary and John Hipp, attorneys, received a verdict Friday, June 1st, awarding her all the property left by the late Basil Hill. This case has been bitterly contested in the courts for the past fourteen months.

Finds Negro Citizens Progressing ONCE a year the COLORADO STATESMAN'S "Man About Town" responds to the inward urge to take a stroll around our great and growing city with a view to "looking 'em over" and to see to what extent our own group is keeping pace with the progressive activities of Denver. Last Sunday we took our annual. Arising early, much refreshed from a good night's sleep, superinduced by a conscience as clear and carefree as that of a baby, we stood for some moments halting between the conflicting emotions of heeding the call of the church bells or heeding the "call of the wild," as our suburban life would suggest. It was a terrific conflict, a tempest in the brain, as Victor Hugo would say, but finally the "call of the wild" won and soon we found ourselves out at 167 Columbine street looking over the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. William F. Hall. Here was a home over which one could easily enthust. Beautiful flowers, running vines, a well laid out garden, and scores of healthy chickens, impressed one that the actualities of life were being enjoyed in generous measure by the Hall family. We were given a royal welcome and found the kind of genuine hospitality that abounds so freely in Denver homes. But time was limited, and so we strolled on. We next came up to the home of Mrs. A. C. Williamson, 2075 East Third avenue. Here was another home surrounded by all the beautiful and good things of life that the human heart could wish for. We were entranced and stood speechless, only to be brought back to earth by the sweetly-mannered hostess who served needed refreshments. We strolled on and on and on, finding here and there and everywhere visible evidences of the prosperity of the Denver Negro citizens. At Twenty-seventh and Lafayette a large duplex mansion was pointed out to us as the recently acquired income property of Fred Clements. Strolling to Glipin Park we found our good friends, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mitchell putting a few touches on their new home that will make it one of Denver's show places. At this time a growing fatigue brought us to the realization that our stroll must come to an end, and so we started back to town. Here an exasperating experience convinced us that before another year we must find other means of locomotion than that offered by a leisurely stroll. We started to cross the street and a loud honk! honk! caused us to jump back just in time to see Jimmy Adams whizzing past in a brand new Rickenbacker. We tried once more, and the warning sound came from a beautiful Cole 8, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Benoit, newly wed. Again we started to dash across the street, but another newly-wed couple, wholly absorbed in themselves, gave the danger signal and Mr. and Mrs. Claude De Priest dashed past in a handsome new Nash. We were at the point of desperation now, and determined to do or die, but we skillfully dodged an opportunity of "dying" by staying on the side lines safely as the Roy family in their Essex, the Hamletts in their brand new Cole, and the Hardys in their Nash all passed in quick succession. Thus, after many trials, we reached the editorial sanctorium fully convinced that our group is enjoying substantial prosperity and progress and are a material factor in the life and upbuilding of Denver. THE DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION THE regular monthly meeting of the Denver Colored Civic Association was held on Wednesday evening at Odd Fellows' Hall, and a most enthusiastic gathering of the members was held. After the regular routine of business was transacted the president then introduced Mr. Quince Record, Industrial Director of the U. S. Dept. of Labor for the Rocky Mountain District. Mr. Record was most cordially received by the members, all of whom know him personally and appreciate his interest in the association. He gave one of the most practical, interesting and beneficial addresses to which we have had the pleasure of hearing. He is especially well prepared in his work and gifted with the ability to explain in detail the workings of his department. He has a wonderful memory for statistics and all who heard him went away better informed as to the industrial situation here in Denver and Colorado.

Mr. Owen will establish a permanent council of The Friends of Negro Freedom here when he returns. The Steering Committee has arranged to have a series of talks discussing the different phases of the organization every Monday night at the Negro Women's Club home at 8 p.m. Monday June 4, the steering committee and friends of the Friends of Negro Freedom had a most interesting meeting at the Negro Women's Club home. Mrs. G. N. Ross' talk on "The Educational Values of the Open Forum" was exceedingly interesting. It not only showed the educational values, but showed how self-expression, concise thought and true leadership can be developed. Monday June 11 the subject will be: "The Status of the Negro in the Labor Organizations in Colorado." Mr. Jas. Myers, a member of one of the labor organizations will be the speaker, after which there will be open discussions. Public invited. Come and bring a friend. WHITE ELEPHANT BASEBALL TEAM CREDIT TO DENVER Negro Citizens Should Give Libera Support to this Great Aggregation of Ball Players Playing errorless ball against the strong Gerhardt Mercantile team at Merchants Park last Sunday, the White Elephants again proved their class as the greatest semi-pro baseball team in the West. It was a remarkable contest, and the issue was in doubt until the last man was out in the ninth inning. Both teams were in fine fettle and put up a clean, sportsmanlike game. Hugh Smith, pitching for the Elephants, was at his best, but it is only fair to say that the gilt-edge support given him was a big factor in determining the final score of 2 to 1 in his team's favor. The Elephant infield consisting of Fields, Marvin, Gross and Hanna, were lightning fast and pulled off double plays at critical moments that were life-savers, while reliable George Walker behind the bat was a tower of strength. The hair-raising feature of the game, however, was the running catch of Eddie Hill, which had it gotten past the fleet outfielder might have caused a different story to be written about the contest. Every man did yeoman service, and we should be proud of our boys, especially we are aware that the team is denied a place in the semi-pro leagues because of their superior ability. We would suggest that leading Negro citizens arrange a benefit ball game in the near future that will give a neat sum to the boys, who by their athletic prowess have brought such great distinction to the race.

The orchestra is large, and appeared in full strength just as it played at Leavenworth for the Shriners' Circus. The kind of artistry they displayed is well told in the words of George E. Lee, the elader of Lee's Harmony Makers of this city, the Lee Orchestra. He says of them: "We who furnish music for local dances every night can appreciate the wonderful progress these noted musicians have made. I paid strict attention to each number this orchestra rendered and I find that the organization has reached a high standard in interpreting music. As an orchestra leader I can appreciate the discipline, the perfect attack, the subdued expression, the solo parts of both voice and instrument as displayed by this splendid band of musicians. It was an inspiration to me, as I am sure it was to others to hear them." Mr. George Morrison went home to Denver on Tuesday. Some members of the orchestra remained over, and were breakfast and dance guests of Mr. Lee on Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Montgomery and Mr. Morrison, a brother, entertained them while here.—Kansas City Call. MARY LEE KNOWLES BENEFIT Mrs. Ovid Brown and her assistants of the People's Presbyterian Church are to be commended and congratulated for their timely thought and charitable action in coming to the rescue of Mary Lee Knowles, a member of the Sunday School, who lies in a precarious condition in a hospital in this city suffering from an illness that will necessitate an operation. This young girl practically an orphan, is a ward of Mrs. Clara Davis who has been caring for her for some time, and the sum of over $80 raised at an entertainment last week Thursday at the People's Church proves that our people are always ready to respond generously to any worthy cause. The entertainment consisted of a program of songs, recitations, piano solos and the rendition of the drama "Beauty and the Beast," in which upwards of twenty children of a variety of ages and size took part, giving a splendid performance. Miss May Ella Berry announced the program, and Miss Catherine Patton was accompanist. The training of the children reflected the highest credit on Mrs. Brown who devoted much time and energy to their successful rendition. Her thanks and appreciation are offered to all those who assisted in bringing comfort and relief to this sick girl. A beautiful feature of this event was the interdenominational spirit displayed, as the performers were from the various Sunday Schools of different denominations. FOR GOOD DEEDS WE ARE ALWAYS REWARDED. AN OLD FASHIONED SQUARE PIANO Just an old fashioned square piano, one that had been cherished by some one's grand mother while she was still young and charming. Carved from great logs of black walnut, highly polished it had been among the finest of its kind. Now—old, every ivory key jangling in discord, surpassed by more modern pianos, it had finally come to rest in a Day Nursery for Negro Children. "There," thought the old piano, "will be an eternal refuge." Quietly, in painful old age, she a big demand for something different in For instance: —Third from the left is a smart gray Oxford with plain toe; instep of black, at ..... $5.00 —On the right is a fancy Strap Pump, white trimmed in gray.

Well she remembered how her ivory keys resounded in the strains of "I cannot Sing the Old Songs," "Believe Me if Those Endearing Young Charms," and last and best loved, "The Maiden's Prayer." Ah, the days of her glorious youth. One day she was rudely awakened from her peaceful lassitude by voices, she listened and heard: "What are we going to do with the hideous old thing? It takes up so much room space and no one cares to torture the air with such discord as those keys create. We cannot sell it, no one wants It. We can't even give it away." Realizing that she was being discussed, black despair, utter hopelessness fell upon and enveloped the old piano. Then, one day came a man from the mountains. He had driven many weary miles to get this piano for his young daughter. Far from the pleasures of a city, poor, and with none of the luxuries and a few of the necessities to which the girls in town were accustomed, yet this child loved music, and in her untutored way managed to create sounds that partially expressed her thoughts. Delighted to procure for his child a piano, any piano, the father drove his tired horses over three hundred miles of snow covered roads, with the proceeds of his poor little crop in his pocket as payment. Finally arriving in town, he drove up before the Nursery Home. Being greeted by the Matron he humbly asked to see the piano. . . She opened a door and pointed within. He stood gazing in wide eyed rapture. "It is perfect." he exclaimed. The moon that night gazed down upon a lonely road, a team of drooping horses, a wagon, a whistling driver and in the wagon, the old piano going to her last home, confident of being once more loved and appreciated. The farmer still had his money to procure some other gift for his child, because the club women after hearing his story had refused to take even a penny for him. ROBERTA GILMER, 2003 AUG. The COLORADO STATESMAN reproduces, with pleasure this simple yet beautiful story woven round the quaint, old fashioned piano that has been such a romantic part of the Negro Woman's Club Home since its founding. It was read before the Club Home Association some months ago by Mrs. Roberta Gilmer. C. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Reverend C. E. Chapman, Minister Last Sunday was an interesting and inspiring day throughout. The hour in the Sunday School proved to be fraught with the usual interest and life. Striking truths were forcibly driven home from the study of the lesson. The hour was a veritable season of enlightenment. At 3:30 p. m., Dr. J. E. Allen, pastor of the Central Baptist Church came over and brought with him his very excellent choir and a splendid representation from his loyal congregation. The following is the order of the services for tomorrow: Sunday School at 2:30 p. m. Praise service and preaching at 3:30 p. m. Praise service and preaching at 8:00 p. m. Sunday is Children's Day, and the Sunday School people are planning to render a special Children's Day program at one of the services. A cordial invitation is extended to the public to worship at any and all services. The services are now being held in the People's Presbyterian Church, corner of Washington Street and 23rd Avenue.

The design of the Flag is pleasing to the OW, after Memorial Day and before Independence Day, comes Flag Day. Our Soldier Dead! The Flag they died to uphold! The Declaration of Independence that gave us the Flag! The Star-Spangled Banner of the United States of America is the handsomest flag that flies. The proportions of the Flag are perfect. The design of the Flag is pleasing to the eye. The colors of the Flag form the most beautiful combination known to man. The significance of the Flag even overmatches the beauty of the Flag. The Flag has ever led to victory. Following the Flag we have marched across the continent and have increased the "new constellation" to 48 stars. The Flag now floats over the wealthiest and most powerful nation of earth. The Star-Spangled Banner is the oldest Flag, the handsomest Flag and the most inspiring Flag that flies. What follows is worthy of the Flag and of Flag Day. "The Flag Goes By." was written by Henry Holcomb Bennett, author, artist, poet and patriot. "The Makers of the Flag" was delivered on Flag Day, 1914, before the employees of the Department of the Interior at Washington by the late Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior and the "Presidential Impossibility"—because he was born across the Canadian border. President Harding's words are a part of his address at the dedication of the Francis Scott Key memorial at Fort McHenry, Baltimore, June 14, 1922. THE FLAG GOES BY Hats off! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums, A flash of color beneath the sky; Hats off! The Flag is passing by. Blue and white and crimson it shines Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines. Hats off! Sen-fights and land-fights, grim and great, Fought to make and to save the State; Weary marches and sinking ships; Cheers of victory on dying lips; Days of plenty and years of peace; March of a strong land's swift increase; Equal justice, right and law; Stately honor and reverent awe; Sign of a nation, great and strong, To ward her people from foreign wrong; Pride and glory and honor—all Live in the Colors to stand or fall. Hats off! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums, And loyal hearts are beating high; Hats off! The Flag is passing by. MAKERS OF THE FLAG This morning as I passed into the land office, the flag dropped me a most cordial salutation, and from its rippling folds I heard it say: "Good morning, Mr. Flag Maker." "I beg your pardon, Old Glory," I said, "aren't you mistaken? I am not the president of the United States, nor a member of congress, nor even a general in the army. I am only a government clerk." "I greet you again, Mr. Flag Maker," replied the gay voice: "I know you well. You are the man who worked in the swelter of yesterday straightening out the tangle of that farmer's hostead in Idaho, or perhaps you found the mistake in that Indian contract in Oklahoma, or helped to clear that patent for the hopeful inventor in New York, or pushed the opening of that new ditch in Colorado, or made that mine in Illinois more safe, or --- BOY SCOUTS brought relief to the old soldier in Wyoming. No matter; whichever one of these beneficent individuals you may happen to be, I give you greeting, Mr. Flag Maker." I was about to pass on, when the flag stopped me with these words: "Yesterday the president spoke a word that made happier the future of 10,000,000 peons in Mexico; but that act looms no larger on the flag than the struggle which the boy in Georgia is making to win the corn club prize this summer. "Yesterday the congress spoke a word which will open the door of Alaska; but a mother in Michigan worked from sunrise until far into the night to give her boy an education. She, too, is making the flag. "Yesterday we made a new law to prevent financial panics, and yesterday, maybe, a school teacher in Ohio taught his first letters to a boy who will one day write a song that will give cheer to the millions of our race. We are all making the flag." "But," I said impatiently, "these people were only working." Then came a great shout from the flag: "The work that we do is the making of the flag. "I am not the flag; not at all. I am but its shadow. "I am whatever you make me; nothing more. "I am your belief in yourself, your dream of what a people may become. "I live a changing life, a life of moods and passions, of heart-breaks and tired muscles. "Sometimes I am strong with pride. when men do an honest work, fitting the rails together truly. "Sometimes I droop, for then purpose has gone from me, and cynically I play the coward. "Sometimes I am loud, garish, and full of that ego that blasts judgment. "But always I am all that you hope to be and have the courage to try for. "I am song and fear, struggle and panic, and ennobling hope. "I am the day's work of the weakest man and the largest dream of the most daring. "I am the Constitution and the courts, statutes and the statute-makers, soldier and dreadnaught, drayman and street sweep, cook, counselor and clerk. "I am the battle of yesterday and the mistake of tomorrow. "I am the mystery of the men who do without knowing why. "I am the clutch of an idea and the reasoned purpose of resolution. "I am no more than what you believe me to be and I am all that you believe that I can be. "I am what you make me; nothing more. "I swing before your eyes as a bright gleam of color, a symbol of yourself, the pictured suggestion of that big thing which makes this nation. My stars and my stripes are your dream and your labors. They are bright with cheer, brilliant with courage, firm with faith, because you have made them so out of your hearts; for you are the makers of the flag, and it is well that you glory in the making." FRANCIS SCOTT KEY MEMORIAL My fellow Americans—The shrines of American patriotism not only reflect the quality of its gratitude, but they are ever-refreshing and inspiring. We are assembled today to rededicate one of these sacred shrines. We are met to commemorate a historic victory in arms, when the young Republic was first asserting its national rights against an armed foe. And we are met to commemorate a very unique achievement in the literature of na- tional inspiration. Here the patriotic sons of the early Republic crushed one of the most ambitious invasions ever aimed against our nation. Here, during the rage of combat, was born the swelling anthem of American patriotism. It is wholly fitting that Flag Day should be chosen for this commemoration and rededication, because our hymn of patriotism is an apostrophe to the flag we love. Yea, it is apostrophe and invocation as well, born of a patriotic and poetic soul in the travail of a sublimely heroic night. * * * * * * * * * * * If one, forgetting the music, will ponder that poem of battle and victory and thanksgiving, I think he will comprehend the elements that have made it great—great as a song of patriotism and exaltation, great merely as a piece of poetical portraiture. The first stanza tells the anxiety with which, after the bombardment had ceased, the author peered through the mists of dawn and asked the one question whose answer would tell the fateful story: can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hall'd at the twilight's last gleaming, . . . In the second stanza he glimpses the banner, and bursts into song of rejoicing. The third stanza is a defiance of the oppressor; and then, in the fourth and last stanza, we find the note of thanksgiving, the prayer that the victory may be justified in the conduct of a race of freemen: O, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation. That was the poet's prayer. We may fairly claim, in pride for the deeds of our fathers, our sons, our brothers, the prayer has been granted. The faith has been kept. It is the hope of every American heart today that it will continue to be kept. The intervening century has brought our country power and high place. It has cast upon us heavy burdens of responsibility, making us share the difficult problems of a world in the turmoil of a new time. We need all the inspiration and faith which fired his glowing soul of patriotism. No generation of men has ever come into the world to find its path smoothed, or to find its problems solved for it in advance. Solution is the fit price we pay for our great inheritance of liberty and opportunity. The outstanding and the reassuring thought of today is the supreme exaltation of Key, in the hour of great trial, to reveal the soul of a patriot, in the night of surpassing anxiety and devotion to country. No concern for self narrowed his thought. No glorification of the individual marred his vision. No pursuit of fame set his soul ablaze. No personal advantage hindered his pen. His country and his concern for its safety were combined in his all-consuming thought; the nation was the great, uplifting and exalting love. In this impassioned, anxious, self-sacrificing, exalting and exulting love of country, transcending all else, Key reached the sublime heights, and wrote the poetic revelation of an American soul aflame. An American citizenship of the high and simple faith of Francis Scott Key, affame for defense, and no less devoted in meeting the problems of peace, will add to the luster of the banner he so proudly acclaimed. Every glittering star is fixed, every worth-while procession is the more impressive for its bearing, every passion for country is refined by its unfolding. On ships of mercy or vessels of war, in the armed camp or at the memorials of peace, in rejoicing procession or flying from the staff over the simple temples of the schooling youth of America—everywhere it pleases the eye, and reassures the heart and stirs the soul, until we sing in all confidence with the poet-patriot— The Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave 'Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave, ```markdown ``` THE COLORADO STATESMAN IIII The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspiration.

This folding sewing screen is light in weight, requires little space and can be easily carried to the porch or lawn for sewing work. The United States Department of Agriculture says that such a screen can be made of the following: Ten feet of lumber $1\frac{1}{2}$ by $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches. Six $1\frac{1}{2}$-inch (butt) hinges with screws to be used in joining the panels and fastening the drop shelf to the cross pieces. One handle with screws for the top of screen. One hook and eye to fasten the panels when they are folded and closed. Two yards of burlap, denim or canvas, 18 inches wide. One dozen brass cup hooks. One yard cretonne for pockets. One yard one-half-inch elastic for top of pockets. Four dozen upholstering tacks for tacking burlap. The following supplies are convenient to have at hand in the screen before beginning to sew; Sandpaper and stain. Needles of good make and assorted sizes. Sizes 7, 8, 9 and 10 are most used. Care should be taken in selecting good colors in materials both for pockets and for outside covering. The colors in the cloth should harmonize with the color of the stain for the wood. Threads, also of good make and assorted sizes. A spool each of Nos. 50, 70 and 100, and basting thread should be on hand. Oftentimes very good dyes and wood stains can be made from nut hulls, roots, berries and bark of trees. The cloth, not being the same texture, will take the dye in a little different shade of the same color than the woodwork if the identical barks or shells are used for making the stain for the frame. A plain, substantial thimble. Celluloid or aluminum makes a good, inexpensive thimble; a brass one is not desirable because it may stain your thimble-finger if it gets moist with perspiration, and may poison you if there is a sore place on your finger underneath it. Wood Stains. A pair of sharp shears, with blades about five inches long, for cutting cloth. To make a good brown stain for the frame cover three pints of bruised green walnut hulls with three pints of water and allow to stand for twelve hours. Strain through a double cheese-cloth and add one ounce of permanganate of potash. This stain may be made in larger quantities and used for floor stain. It gives a rich brown floor finish. If a semi-waxy appearance is desired, one quart of paraffin oil can be added. A similar stain can be purchased on the market at a reasonable price. A pair of small, sharp scissors with good points, for cutting threads, removing bastings, etc. An abundance of medium-sized, sharp-pointed pins. Fine pins are easier to use than coarse ones. A small pincushion. A tape measure. A few pieces of cardboard to use as gages. A pencil. An emery bag for polishing needles the milk, and mix this with the dry materials. Beat thoroughly and add enough more milk (or water) to make a smooth batter about the consistency of thick cream. If the whites were beaten separately, fold them in last. GOVERNMENT RECIPE FOR MAKING WAFFLES The waffle irons should be thoroughly clean and smooth. Heat both sides thoroughly and grease with a brush or swab dipped in liquid fat or rub the iron with a piece of fat bacon rind. Place a spoonful of batter in each compartment of the griddle, near the center, close the irons and the batter will fill the compartments. Bake on one side until the edges seem to be browning, then turn the iron and bake the other side until delicately brown.

Clean your gilt picture frames with the white of egg applied with a soft paint brush. A white enamel stove tray is a time saver. It is more easily cleaned than the metal, which stains easily. Brush out your oven after baking. If rust is permitted to accumulate it will shorten the life of a stove. If you will sprinkle a few cloves in the fat in which you are frying doughnuts you will find the result pleasing.

A city woman never is or very seldom is embarrassed with such riches. Countless detectable dishes may be prepared with sour cream. One is the most delicious of spice cakes, using the cream in place of milk in the recipe and using judgment as to its richness, by adding such proportion of shortening as the usual recipe requires, allowing for the richness of the cream. One or two tablespoonfuls of sour cream in a soup gives a zest that is entirely lacking in sweet cream, adding richness and smoothness to the soup. Roast veal or roast chicken well-browned and then cooked with one cupful of sour cream poured over it, basting frequently, is delicious. Steak With Sour Cream.—Cut steak in serving-sized pieces, brown, put into a baking dish and pour the gravy from the pan over it. Add a sauce, using one cupful of sour cream, two tablespoonfuls of flour, one tablespoonful of onion juice, one-half teaspoonful of salt, and one-fourth cupful of dried and soaked mushrooms. Bake in a slow oven. This sauce is nice with fish or hamburg steak. Chicken Fricassee.—Chop one onion and fry in fat until yellow; add paprika. Cut up a chicken and fry in the fat until a golden brown, add one cupful of water with a tablespoonful of parsley and simmer until tender. Pour a cupful of hot sour cream over the chicken and serve sprinkled with minced parsley and salt and paprika to taste. Scalloped Potatoes and Onions.—Put a layer of sliced potatoes in a baking dish, cover with a layer of sliced onions, adding seasonings and parsley. Repeat and pour over the dish enough sour cream to almost cover. Cover the dish and bake until the vegetables are done. Bolled Cauliflower With Dressing.—Heat one-half cupful of sour cream, adding salt and pepper to season, pour over hot boiled cauliflower and serve at once. Whatever be the origin or extent of the mental habitations that we occupy, for their furniture we are responsible.—Edgar Goodspeed. A baked apple is always palatable and is welcome at any meal. Arlington Apples. Core some good-flavored apples and fill the cavity with two tablespoonfuls of maple sugar and a piece of butter. Bake in hot water to one-quarter the depth of the apples. Serve cold, with or with- Chicken Pie.—Cover a chicken (after cutting at the joints) with boiling water and cook until tender. Add one cupful of diced celery, one carrot cut in dice, two large onions sliced. When the chicken and vegetables are tender remove the fowl and place in a casserole, add six parboiled potatoes, the celery, carrot and onions. Thicken the gravy with flour and butter well mixed, add seasoning, cover with a rich baking powder biscuit crust, leaving a vent for the steam to escape and bake until well done. Add a cupful of cream just a few minutes before taking from the oven. Maple Dreams.—Cut bread in one quarter-inch slices; remove the crusts and butter. Cover a slice with a layer of chopped dates; butter another slice and cover, pressing the slices together to form a sandwich. Cut in any shape, dip in egg and milk and saute to a light brown. Serve with: Lum Lum.—Take two cupfuls of diced cooked sweet potatoes; add one cupful of diced apple and add four tablespoonfuls of maple sirup and a little salt and three tablespoonfuls of bacon fat. Bake in a covered dish, adding one-half cupful of water. Remove the cover and brown, after baking forty-five minutes. Bake one hour. Maple Sauce.—Take one cupful of maple sirup, one-quarter cupful of cold water, one tablespoonful each of cornstarch and sugar. Heat the sirup, add the cornstarch, mixed with cold water. Cook until clear, then add the butter. Pour around the dreams and serve at once. Pineapple Salad.—Cook one egg yolk, one teaspoonful of lemon juice over hot water until thick, stirring constantly. Cool; season highly with tabasco, then beat one-quarter of a cupful of sour cream until thick, and fold it into the first mixture with one-quarter of a cupful of finely-grated cheese. Codfish served with sour cream for the white sauce is a most appetizing and unusual dish. The virtuous feeling of having been saving must be carefully analyzed, for we may be "penny wise and pound foolish." Nellie Maxwell We traveled through the soundless night. And breathed the fragrant June, bright With an unwaning moon; Till from the whitened field the wood Rose dark along the hill. And there with sudden joy we stood To hear thee, whip-poor-will! SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS Paint the outside of the screens, doors and windows, as well as the porch screens, with a thin white paint. It is easy to look out, but those outside cannot look in. A woman reading a book. To prevent files and odors around the garbage can, cover the can with a cloth which has been moistened with kerosene, then place the cover on top of the cloth. Renew the wetting once in two weeks. Try wiping the screens with kerosene where files gather and come in every time the screen is opened. This will keep the files away and if the kerosene is used in small amounts it is not objectionable. Once a week repeat the process. Where several find it necessary to use the same bathroom a great convenience is a small basket, lined with linen or painted white, in which one may carry soap, tooth paste, powder, toothbrush and washcloth. They may be carried and returned all together, saving trips back and forth. The basket may be only useful or exceedingly ornamental, as one desires; but it will be found a great convenience. A large market basket, lined with fresh paper, is a most helpful aid in the house. Carry the laundry upstairs or jars and glasses to the basement; useful for bringing up vegetables, or returning articles from room to room. When going on picnic suppers the little individual cups of paper may be used to serve the salad, providing a bit of green for garnishing. Paper plates and napkins are light and save work. When a funnel is needed and none is at hand, use a tube cakepan. It will work as neatly as one made for the purpose. Keep a cube of magnesia at hand to rub over white shoes until they can be well cleaned. For an emergency this is a quick-cleaning method. I've whiled away dyspeptic hours with crabs in marble halls And in the lowly cottage I've experienced codfish balls; But I've never found a vland that could so allay all grief And soo the cockles of the heart like rare roast beef. —Eugene Field. HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS Add a slice of onion to the tomato when first put on to stew, then remove it before ready to serve.

This is especially a wise treatment for a kitchen floor, where the feet get very tired from much standing and walking. When washing glassware place it in the water edgewise, as, set down on the bottom, it often cracks from sudden expansion. Darn the worn spots of the stair carpet with wool of the same color, being careful to match the color. The spots will scarcely show. Some dress goods are hard to press. For such gowns hang them over the bathtub or in the bathroom, turn on the hot water and shut the door and windows tightly and let them hang for two hours, then open the room and let the garments dry in fresh air. Hanging a gown over a hot-air register for an hour or more will often freshen it wonderfully, if badly wrinkled. Here is a good home-made breakfast food which is worth while trying on the family. Take three-fourths of a cupful of flour, three-fourths of a cupful of graham flour, mix well, add half a teaspoonful of salt, and water, and cook to the consistency of mush. Serve hot with a few dates and cream and sugar. A little tartaric acid, the crystals dissolved in a little water, will remove any fruit stains quickly. Wash the hands well after using. A roast of meat should always be served on a platter large enough to carve it easily, and never serve it with gravy, if you care for your linen. Burn cinnamon or a few cloves on the top of the stove to purify the air after cooking cabbage or onions. A lump of sugar added to the rinsing water will stiffen fine organdles and muslins. Ham is delicious baked in milk. Also with potatoes and milk, as escaloped, with a slice of ham on top. To remove egg stains, rub with common table salt. Add tomato catup to the sauce in the pan when cooking fish.

Glossine To soften dry, curly hair. GINGHAM and its sister fabrics, chambray and percale, are always sure of representation in the summer modes, but occasionally comes a season which shows gingham far ahead of its rival wash-fabrics in popular favor. Just now fashion points persistently to ginghams for morning frocks, apron frocks and house dresses. In the displays, other cottons and some linen bear them company but must be satisfied to hold second place—being greatly outnumbered by ginghams. Nearly always some other cotton in a plain weave, as plique or chambray, is used in conjunction with gingham. I I THE plain material providing collar, cuffs, pockets or trimming, or it is combined with gingham in the body of the brock. This rule holds good in dresses for grown-ups and juniors alike and gingham begins its usefulness with the youngest members of the family and ends it with the oldest. In utility and house dresses for grown-ups and in play dresses for children, plain materials are usually confined to accessories as in the pretty frock pictured. Here the collar, cuffs and pockets are made of white plque outlined with chain stitching and decorated with simple needlework. Often for morning or porch dresses a checked gingham skirt and a plain chambray bodice are joined, with bands of chambray adorning the skirt and bands of gingham doing like service for the bodice, sometimes alced by a vestee or collar. There are numberless ways in which gingham is cleverly combined with other cottons, to make A A woman in a dress and apron is holding a book. THE NEW YORK TIMES becoming frocks that will prove a joy in summer time. The perennial freshness of tub frocks endears them to women. There is a cheerful tendency to bright and plensing colors, especially for house dresses and style is an important factor in their success. But designers see to it that they are simple enough to launder well and that they may be easily put on and off. Knitted art has grown out of the experimental stage into a plane triamphant. Before our admiring eyes a panorama of wondrous knitted garments is furnishing a continuous style program wherein decorative scheme and novelty are playing a leading part.

That the challenge has been accepted by the designers of knitted outerwear, is evident, as the pageantry of handsome garments continues to unfold before our admiring eyes. Interest ever centers about the sweater and this season tells a story of unabated achievement. In the instance of the fanciful sweater here with pictured, the novelty vest is the outstanding style note. The body of this chic sweater is gray, its neutral tone accenting the gay orange and blue checks of the vestee. Study well the H CHARMING GINGHAM FROCK sleeves; they are a departure from the ordinary, the distinguishing feature being cuff bands supporting a forearm fullness. By the way, a sweater is only the initial entrant on the program of things knitted required for a summer's enjoyment. There is, for instance, those altogether irresistible little knitted gowns known as the "Country TITTLE club dance frocks." No aspirant in good dressing can afford to string through a summer's program without one. These appeal to the most fatidious taste, in their alluring colors, and they partake of the formal party type in that they are sometime sleeveless, and are knitted in fandul stitch with clever introduction of the sel or embroidery effects.
