LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY DISFRANCHISEMENT IN THE "SOLID SOUTH" VOL. XXX ALABAMA recently enacted a law which prohibits any American citizen eligible for the presidency from seeking support in Alabama unless he be a citizen of that state. Alabama's action is the logical outgrowth of the system of disfranchisement of American citizens which prevails in every state of the Democratic "Solid South," in violation of the United States Constitution and in defiance of the principles of representative government. This constitutes the most malignant cancer upon the American body politic today. It began shortly after the southern states were re-admitted into the Union upon their promise to observe and obey the American Constitution by their disfranchising the Negro in defiance of the 14th and 15th amendments. This action was denounced by the Republican party. The right of the emancipated Negro to the ballot was upheld by the Republican party. The South then proceeded to disfranchise white Republicans in southern states. Now the malignant forces which it turned loose threaten to turn upon the Democratic party itself. Having used the weapon of disfranchisement so successfully upon southern Republicans, both black and white, Alabama Democrats now employ it to bludgeon northern Democratic aspirants for the presidential nomination. Were the evils of this southern practice of disfranchisement confined to the southern states and visited only upon the heads of the Democratic party, the rest of the country would not be necessarily concerned, but such is not the case. The South claims and obtains representation in the United States House of Representatives on the basis of its Negro and white Republican population. But having used these for the basis of obtaining seats in the House of Representatives, southern Democracy proceeds to refuse its Negro and its white Republican citizens the right to go to the polls and vote for representatives in Congress. Eighty members of the House of Representatives from the "Solid South" are holding their seats because by "shotgun" policy and by dishonest and fraudulent elections the exercise of citizenship of a majority of their communities is prohibited. It is a plain statement of a disreputable fact that there has not been an honest free election. In the solid Democratic South for a quarter of a century. But the evil extends higher and further. A state's vote in the electoral college is based upon its representation in both branches of Congress. The "Solid South" casts 114 electoral votes in every presidential election. Everybody knows that these votes are sure to be cast for the Democratic nominee regardless of who he is or for what he stands. Everybody knows this is true because honest elections and the free exercise of the franchise is impossible in any of the "Solid South" states. The Republican party starts into every presidential campaign with a handicap of 114 votes to overcome before it can "begin even" with the Democratic party in a contest for the presidency. There are certain states in the North which are battlegrounds every presidential campaign. If the Republicans, after an intensive fight, succeed in carrying New York, Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Nebraska and West Virginia they have succeeded merely in carrying enough states to balance the 114 electoral votes from the "Solid South" and they must then go out and beat the Democratic party in the remaining northern states. Or, to put it another way: Democratic disfranchisement of Republican voters gives to the "Solid South" in every presidential election, without any contest whatever, a sufficient number of electoral votes to wipe out the electoral votes of the Republican states of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maine, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas. The Democratic "Solid South" attempts to justify its defiance of the Constitution, its disfranchisement of American citizens, its undermining of representative government, its pollution of elections, upon the ground that its action is necessary in order to have a "white man's government." If that be true then it should be limited in its representation in the House of Representatives and in the electoral college to the number of white men in the South who govern. That would give the South a "white man's government" in exact proportion to the white man's government in the rest of the country. —National Republican. Fail to Return South As Claimed by Editors; Cancel Special Train Fail to Return South As Claimed by Editors; Cancel Special Train Chicago, Ill., Dec. 21.—Reports of intimidation of 300 Negro families claimed to be prepared to return South on a special Illinois Central train proved to be a flivver. It is said that when train time arrived only a very small number of Negroes appeared at the station to return South. Rumors of threats of violence said to have been made by whites against the Negroes were widely circulated a few days ago. It is thought that representatives of Southern Cotton Growers' Association had started these rumors in an effort to get the Negroes to return South. In fact, a group of Negroes are said to have threatened the southerner with violence if he did not desist stirring up discontent among Negroes in the community. He was told that his wild reports about 500 Negro families going back South with him on the special was all bosh. According to officials of the Illinois Central railroad only thirty colored families returned South. Reports were circulated that northern whites were going among the Negroes telling them that as soon as they got on the train the doors of the coaches would be locked and not opened until the train reached its destination and also that there was a guard in each coach armed with a gun and a black snake whip. It seemed that the southern and the northern whites made a strong play on the ignorance and fears of many of the Negroes. One young Negro said: "Them folks are simply going down South for the winter, they will be back next spring. That's a great stunt, acting like rich folks—living where it is summer all the time." DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 29. 1923 Tuskegee Trade Graduates Ninety-five per cent of the shoe repairers, 80 per cent of the tailors, 70 per cent of the sheet-metal workers, 69 per cent of the plumbers, 67 per cent of the printers and 55 per cent of the bricklayers who completed a trade course during the ten-year prewar period, 1908-1917, were still working at the trade or engaged in vocational teaching in 1920. A total of 440 students completed their trades during this period. Of this number 299 were still working at their trades in 1920; 75 were employed as vocational teachers, and 13 had died. This survey is confined to the trade graduates over a period of ten years, immediately preceding the United States' entrance in the World War. Although a general average of 67.9-10 per cent for all trade graduates engaged in their trades is a very fair showing, this does not represent Tuskegee's full contribution to the preparation and promotion of more skillful and intelligent workers in the industries. A more complete survey would include all those ex-trade students who have been members of the several vocational classes for varying periods, and who acquired sufficient shop experience and manipulative skill to enable them to perform a limited number of operations of the trade, but who, through unavoidable circumstances, have dropped out of school and found employment in some branch of the trade, or in an allied trade. Southern Workman. Methodist Women in Good Will Meeting Southwestern Social Service Institute Seeks Racial Understanding The Social Service Institute for the Southwest, conducted in First Church, Dallas, Tex., Nov. 13-15 under the auspices of the Race Relations Commission of the Woman's Missionary Council, was well attended and most successful. More than a hundred women, prominent in Methodist circles in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri, were present. The speakers included Mrs. J. W. Downs, Miss Estelle Haskin, Miss Mary DeBardeleben, Mrs. W. A. Newell, Miss Ruth Reed and R. B. Eltazer, each of whom delivered a series of addresses dealing with some phase of race relations. Among the subjects presented were "Interracial Understanding," "Negro Achievements," "Education and Race Relations," and "Methodist of Interracial Work." Dr. J. W. Perry delivered a convincing address on "The Power of Christian Principles to Overcome Race Antagonism and Substitute Good Will." One of the most effective features of the meeting was the presence and participation of two colored women of character and achievement, Mrs. Booker T. Washington and Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett, Intelligent, cultured, unassuming, manifesting the finest Christian spirit, and distinguished for service to their race, these women gave to many of the delegates a new appreciation of what the race is capable of and a deeper sympathy with its upward struggle under heavy handicaps. Mrs. Washington was invited also to address the missionary institute at Southern Methodist University, and made a fine impression on faculty and students. Mrs. Luke Johnson, chairman of the Council Race Relations Commission and Director of Woman's Work of the General Commission on Interracial Co-operation, called the meeting and had charge of the program. Physician Issues Challenge to Profession (Press Service, Howard University) Washington, D. C., Dec. 18.—Dr. John A. Kenny, medical director of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, has just written a letter to President Durkee of Howard University setting forth a unique plan to create a million dollar sinking fund to be placed at the service of Howard Medical College and Meharry Medical School. Dr. Kenny suggests that 4,999 colored physicians, dentists and pharmacists each take out a five hundred life insurance policy payable jointly to the Meharry Medical College and Howard Medical School. In this way Dr. Kenny states, "a million dollars may eventually be placed at the service of these two institutions from this source, which would be a big thing for the work, and a small thing for the individual." To begin this plan, Dr Kenny took out a five hundred dollar policy last year. This year he has found himself able to increase the policy to one thousand dollars, which would give five hundred dollars to each institution. In placing this matter before his associates, Dr. Kenny emphasizes the fact that the race has at this time, but two "class A" medical schools. He urges support and encouragement of these institutions because of the present scarcity of Negro physicians and dentists and the uncertainty for the future with reference to an adequate supply of members of these professions for the members of the Negro race. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell Seeks $20,- 000 Damages Washington, Dec. 21.—Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, wife of Judge Robert H. Terrell of the District Municipal Court, has entered suit in the Supreme Court against the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Company for $20,000 damages for alleged personal injuries by her sustained on account of the defendant's negligence. Mrs. Terrell alleges that on July 23, 1923, while riding in her automobile, she was injured severely in a collision of her car and one owned by the defendant. Messrs. Newmeyer and King, well known attorneys of Washington, appear for Mrs. Terrell. MAN KILLS SELF WHEN NEGRO LAD DIES FROM WOUND Macon, Ga., Dec. 25.—Roy M. Aultman, 36, a farmer, fatally shot himself at his home, near Dunbar, Ga. today, after he discovered he had killed a Negro boy. Aultman died on the way to a hospital in this city. Aultman, according to witnesses, had been drinking and became angry when Negroes to whom he had been lending money, rode past his home in an automobile. He opened fire on the car with a revolver and a small Negro boy was killed. The farmer went to the automobile. viewed the body, returned to the house and fired a bullet into his own brain. NOTED JEWISH SOCIAL WORKER AROUSES NEGROES Ludwig B. Bernstein in Splendid Address Sparkling With Wisdom and Sincerity, Stirs Negro Self-Helping Instinct "Indeed, I am happy to belong to a group that has suffered, proud because we have persisted and persisted," were the opening words of Dr. Ludwig B. Bernstein in an inspiring address at St. James A. M. E. Church Sunday night under the auspices of the Pittsburgh Urban League. He was one of two main speakers, the other being President John Hope. President Hope was the first speaker. He related the early history of his life and his first conscious experiences of his position and mission in the world. He recounted the American experience of the Negro, told an interesting story of the past and present condition of the Negro in the South. The migration of the race claimed his attention. He explained and analyzed it doing for you—but I am asking WHAT DO YOU YOURSELF DO AS A PEO- PLE? Do you furnish the funds for your social work? How do you do your share—not how do the white people do it for you—but what are you doing and how are you doing it?" Dr. Bernstein fired one question after another at the attentive and interested audience intended to arouse their consciousness of duty to self and rise them of the lethargy that comes from persistent and continued dependence upon others. He aroused the people and interested them. He stirred their instinct of self-help and won his way into their hearts. They heard him gladly and felt the force of his questions and utterances. "We believe we have a mission—a mission to be of service to our fellow- men," said Dr. Bernstein referring to his people—the Jews. Then he re "It is our big chance now," said Dr. Hope. Continuing he said, "You are indeed, living in a land of milk and honey. Are you going to eat all the honey and drink all the milk? Thus far practically all that we have gotten has been the crumbs falling from the rich man's table. They are still crumbs, but bigger and better today than ever before. But we should think of life as something more than meat and raiment." President Hope reminded the people that Negroes have a steadily increasing group of business men actively engaged in the business essential to the economic progress of the race. He encouraged them to co-operate with these men and thus help create the power positively necessary to enable the Negro to get anywhere in America. "Has there been any fundamental change in America with reference to our group?" asked the Morehouse College president. "There has not," was his own reply. "Then we must bring it to pass that the American people will cease to think of Negroes in one way and other people in another way. We must bring it to pass that the American people will think of Negroes as they think of other races of men—entitled to the same rights of life, liberty and the same opportunities. "Migration will mean nothing, will settle no difficulties of the race without a change, a very material change in the American mind toward the Negro. To bring about this change will be our one big achievement," said President Hope in conclusion. Dr. Tyson, president of the Urban League, arose when the speaker finished. After some fitting references to the points stressed in the address of the Morehouse College head, he introduced Dr. Ludwig B. Bernstein, director of Pittsburgh Jewish philanthropies, who went to the very heart of social organization in a way never done before to an audience of Pittsburgh Negroes. "We carry our own burdens," said Dr. Bernstein in referring to the Jewish people. "Do you carry yours?" he asked, and continued questioning, "What do you do actually for your dependent people?" "I am not asking what the Associated Charities, the Society for the Improvement of the Poor or other agencies of the whites are NO.11. doing for you—but I am asking WHAT DO YOU YOURSELF DO AS A PEOPLE? Do you furnish the funds for your social work? How do you do your share—not how do the white people do it for you—but what are you doing and how are you doing it?" Dr. Bernstein fired one question after another at the attentive and interested audience intended to arouse their consciousness of duty to self and rid them of the lethargy that comes from persistent and continued dependence upon others. He aroused the people and interested them. He stirred their instinct of self-help and won his way into their hearts. They heard him gladly and felt the force of his questions and utterances. "We believe we have a mission—a mission to be of service to our fellowmen," said Dr. Bernstein referring to his people—the Jews. Then he related a most interesting story of Jewish philanthropy involving religion, health, recreation, the care of orphans and dependents of the Jewish people. He explained the system of contribution and the financial foundation of Jewish social service. At the conclusion of his address a collection was taken for the benefit of the Urban League. Special music by a vested choir featured the meeting which closed after some very appropriate remarks concerning the league and its work by the secretary, John T. Clark.—Pittsburg American. Pullman Employee Made White House Messenger Pullman Employee Made White House Messenger Washington, Nov. 30.—Harry Walter Lugas, 34, a Pullman porter in the Washington district, has been appointed by President Coolidge to a post of messenger in the White House. His appointment was due to a wish expressed by President Harding before his death when he offered Lucas a post at the White House, but was stricken before he could make definite plans. Lucas, who was born in Washington, has an excellent record with the Pullman Company for efficiency, and this fact has been responsible for his appointment to the late President's special train, where he was privileged to serve Mr. Harding. This fact was brought to the attention of President Coolidge by Mrs. Harding, who was aware of her husband's plan. RACE HORSE CARETAKER MOURNED LOSS OF RACE UNTIL DEATH ENSUED Louisville, Ky.—George Juison, 4t, the colored caretaker for the racing stable of Carl Wiedemann of Newport, Ky., owner of the horse, In Memoriam, defeated recently in a match race by the great eastern horse, Zev, was found dead on a cot in the stable with In Memoriam at Churchill Downs on November 24. Juison was in constant attendance on the horse, and his intimates say that he has grieved incessantly ever since the race in which Zev lowered In Memoriam's colors. The doctors say he died from heart disease. QUALITY AT POPULAR PRICES.

Recently a tramp taken up in a New York police court for drunkenness gave his birthplace as Boston. "Yours," said the magistrate, "is a sad case. Yet you don't seem to thoroughly realize how low you have sunk." The prisoner struck his brow with a palmed gesture. "Heavens!" he exclaimed devoutly, "I ha' stood many indignities, but to be scened by a magistrate that splits his infinitives! This is the fast blow!" Ocean Bed Rising. A cable ship of the Eastern Telegraph company, searching for a broken cable between St. Helena and Cape Town, found that the ocean bed had risen two and a quarter miles since 1899. When the original soundings were taken in that year the chart showed a depth of three miles.

Wellington.-Days of effort, rebuffs, and careful planning met success for the Union Oil Company when workers gained control of the terrific pressure of its phenomenal gasser here. The valves, constructed at the new well after hours of difficult labor, were closed, shutting off the flow of oil and gas, to conserve the pressure for an expected production of 800 barrels a day from other wells soon to be drilled.

I never saw such a pair of down-in-the-mouths as when we were over there last night. ‘They hardly said a word to each other.” “And they used to be such an affec- tonate couple.” “Um—more or less, yes. By the way, did you notice Will didn’t smoke?” “Yes. He told me he'd give up smoking for the New Year.” “Um—um!” Charley reached for his pipe. “I guess his wife made him, and that’s at the bottom of the trou- ble.” Now, this is what had really hap- pened: On the thirty-first of Decem- ber Will Naggitt broke his new pipe in two, “Dear,” he said, “I'm never going to smoke again, and that’s my New Year resolution.” “And I hope you'll keep it,” sald Dorothy. “You know you've said that every New Yeur’s eve for the past nine years.” “I know I have, Dorothy. But this time I mean business. And now, what are you going to resolve?” “I don’t know what there Is for me to resolve,” said Dorothy. “I'm per- fect.” “You've got a perfect nerve, I'll say that for you.” “Oh, but my dear, you told me 80 yourself before we were married. Don't you remember?” “A man isn't responsible for what he says in a condition of mental aber- ration, Didn't you know that, my dear? See here, I'M make a compact with you. I'll stop smoking Just as long as you stop nagging.” “1 don't nag.” “You do.” “Now, Will Naggitt, you stop mak ang unfounded charges against me, be- cause I won't stand for it. I've been a good wife to you and looked after you like a slave while you've been indulg- Ing in your extravagances and filthy tobacco, and loafing about the house and at your office, and never a word out of me, because I’m the most long: suffering woman alive and now you tell me I nag you and I'll never open my mouth again.” “All right, Dorothy, as long as you keep your mouth closed in anger I'll «eep mine closed to tobacco.” Will thought he'd have an excuse to start smoking again next day, but that was where Dorothy fooled him. She suddenly turned into a mode! wife. To his most petulant outbreaks there came no reply. And Will became more ‘and more netnlant as the days went by and his coveted smoke failed to materialize. ‘There was no question who was the nagger now. Poor Dorothy was hav- ing the hardest time of her life. And yet, for Will’s sake, she refrained from answering him. His nervous system was totally unbalanced from want of a smoke, andé-she knew that and made exeuses for him. ‘She had always wanted to cure him of his filthy habit, and It was now or never. Will’s pride kept him to the fulfill ment of his vow. A week passed. He got up one morning feeling des- perate. “Whatehermean by giving me this nasty coffee?” he growled. “Haven't you got sense enough to clarify it with an egg? I don't care if eggs cost a thousand dollars a dozen, I'm not go- ing to drink bilge.” Dorothy said nothing, but smiled sweetly upon him. “For. the Lord’s sake, can’t you make toast without burning it?

Presently, as Will bent over his meal, two soft hands were placed over his eyes, “Open his mouth and shut his eyes and see—" “Oh, for heaven's sake quit your foolish tricks. I'm not a kid. Hey, what's this?” “It’s your pipe, you wicked mon- ster!” sobbed Dorothy. “And now I can tell you what I think of you, you fiend in human form, before I go hame to mother, I've stood for all I'm go- ing to stand from you, I hate you and I wish you'd never been born, Of all the wretched, worthless lonfers who ever encumbered the face of the earth you take the cake—is your pipe a-light now, darling?” Dorothy perched herself upon his knee. “Aren't we happy!" she cooed, as the fragrant fumes floated into the air. “Um—um!” said Will, “What de- licious coffee. Give me another cup. Say—I guess I've been pretty rotten to you.” “on, Will, you're always lovely. I've had that new pipe waiting for you for days, but I tried not to give it to you till you started nagging at me, and then Jt was either your smoking again ‘or me doing so.

It is possible to plan and do many things within a year and sometimes the accomplishments of the calendar period may be equivalent to a life time of effort unaccompanied by good fortune and careful man- agement. On the other hand a year thay be crowded with failure, dis- appointment and sadness. Yet each condition goes to make up life's uncertain portion and must be counted én the balances of profit and loss in th® eternal scheme of things. Standing upon the threshold of a New Year may be likened unto an eminence from which one may look back upon the road already trod, with {ts pitfalls and rough places, and to look forward to the further journey along a pathway veiled in mystery and clouds. It is possible to look back upon the beaten path with a feeling of a victory gained, it is always probable that one looks to the future with hope and gladness. ‘Thus we hail the New Year with song and loud acclaim. Making Resolutions We do not know from whence sprang the custom of adopting the New Year as a convenient season for making of resolutions calculated to guide our actions and habits for a period of twelve months. The whole of life consists of two essentials, {.e. “I will or I won't” and any other time in the year will as conveniently serve our purpose if we will only adopt it. The simple proposition resolves itself into a species of self control, and he admits lamentable weakness who cannot take hold of himself and face square around only at the ringing of bells that tell of the birth of a New Year. Always Do Your Best Strictly speaking, there is no time of the year when one can safely neglect opportunity or dodge responsibility. We must at all times make the most of our citizenship and give of our best to society and civilization. We are seeking to escape the designation of a separate entity and yet we are constantly face to face with the fact that whatever may be our future. status as American citizens must eminate from our ability to rise as a race, | Progress Must Be Sure and Steady No other race of people in America have before tiem a problem equal to what we must solve. It abides here, there and every where. “Denver is splendid debatable ground for the Negro seeking a chance in life. It is not all sunshine and roses here by any means, nor would we have it #0 wero it possible. ‘There must be a spur to action, something to try our real mettle and qualities of stigk-to-it-ness, it we would escape the stag-| pation and decay of slothfulness. | Know Then Thyself Some time ago a gathering of men on a Sunday afternoon had an open discussion on “What is the matter with Denver?” Let us suggest as an appropriate New Year resolution, a careful survey of a more import- ant question. “What is the matter with the Negro?” Let us try the unique and unheard of proposition of studying the Negro is he is, as we know him from day to day, as we meet him in lodge, club or church, as we find him on the street and in the home. We have had our fling at the dominant group and have not been at all sparing in. our criticisms, just we insist In every instance. But study the Negro for a year, Let us see what 1924 can bring to us in racial unity and confidence. During the past year our progress has been steady and sure in material acquisi- tion, We have kept up the good work of buying and improving our homes. Ous social life is all that could be wished for in a grestt metropalitan city. Our churches are showing healthy signs of growth and more capably meeting the new day requirements of serving God and His people seven @ays a week instead of on Sunday alone. We have made substantial and sappy advance along business lines and our professionat men and women have brought unusual distinction to the group through distinguished service that has to a large extent obliterated the color line. Look to the Future But there {s still much ahead of us. The important thing is to be- lieve in ourselves and in one another. Believe in your business men and support them; lkewise, Mr. Business Man, believe in your customers and conduct your business along lines of cleanliness, efficiency and honesty ag to make it inviting to those who would patronize you. Merit is the only basis of security; color or race {s not a sufficient reason for patronage. Believe in your profesional group and have then minister to your wants. Believe in your race Journals, take them, read them, and pay for them. If there be a resolution worth the observance let us resolve to give to Denver and to Colorado a concrete example of what may be accomplished in a single year by union of effort and a simple adoption and application ‘of self control, born of the principle “I will.” With these observations and desire to be of greater service, with gratitude for past favors and con- 11Cunco in the future, thé COLORADO STATESMAN wishes for its patrons and friends, and for all who have faith in a bigger and better Denver—A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Our city authorities have done well and are to be commended for taking such a commanding lead in the matter of civic pride. DENVER GIRLS MAKING GOOD Washington Sisters Prove Worth in Eastern Cities Misses Georgia and Isabelle Washington, talented daughters of Mr. and Mrs. George Washington, 250 So. Pearl street, are making enviable records in their school work in New York and Washington, D. C., respectively. Miss Georgia, who graduated from Howard University with high honors a few years ago, recently passed all examinations with satisfactory marks, which gave to her a license to teach in any public school in New York City. At present she is doing special work teaching forty-five boys, but will be appointed to permanent place Feb. 1. Her younger sister, Isabelle, is a student at Howard University, and so splendid has been her record that she also is often assigned special work.

SOCIAL DENVER REPLLETE WITH BRILLIANT FUNCTIONS Christmas Season a Merry One Gay society soared to new heights in its many Christmas day observances this year and, from the holy hour when the melodious strains of Christmas carols resounded through the corridors of various churches and at community gatherings Monday night, to the last stroke of the clock Tuesday night, a series of affairs were given that reflected in their brilliancy and completion a gladsome Christmas spirit. Foremost of these was a delightful dinner dance given at the beautiful country home of Mr. and Mrs. Mack Wright, with Eugene Carter, Marshall Coates and Mack Wright as hosts. The very fact that this trio of good fellows were entertaining marked its success from the start. At 7:30 o'clock thirty-six guests were escorted to the dining room and seated to a wild duck dinner of ample proportions. The dining room and tables were beautifully and gayly decorated, which, with the soft glow of numberless lighted candles, blended richly with the handsomely gowned ladies and the strictly formal dress of the men. Following the dinner, dancing was indulged in to almost the break of dawn. Mr. and Mrs. John H. Warden of Henderson, Ky., were the out-of-town guests. Mrs. William Gibson of 3230 Gilpin street had as her guests at a most delightful dinner Tuesday night, Mr and Mrs. Joseph D. D. Rivers and Mr. Frank DeMar. As a hostess, Mrs. Gibson has no superior and her efforts on this occasion was in happy keeping with the many noted functions of the past, given in her home. Mrs. Gibson's many friends were lavish in their Christmas remembrances and one whole room was laden with presents of rich variety and usefulness. Her house was decorated in Christmas colors and flowers. The home of Mrs. Belle Contee, 2456 Lafayette, was the scene of an exquisite dinner party following the beautiful midnight services at the churches Monday night. Christmas decorations were much in place and the night was gayly spent in games and music following the dinner. DR. OVER CLOSES 15 YEARS OF PASTORATE WITH ZION BAPTIST CHURCH The fifteen years of service which Dr. David E. Over has rendered the Zion Baptist church will be brought to a close the night of the first of January, at which time, also, his successor, Dr. G. L. Prince, formerly of the Francis Street Baptist Church, St. Joseph, Mo., will be installed to direct the affairs of Zion. The church is preparing a rather elaborate reception, including a program to be rendered at 8 o'clock the evening of the first, followed by a reception and banquet served free to the friends of the other churches and the public generally. It is not needful to speak particularly of these appointments as the whole will be carried out in Zion style. Preparations are being made for a capacity congregation. This occasion will give to Denver its first opportunity to become acquainted with Dr. and Mrs. Prince, two of the most able and experienced Christian workers to be found in the race. Dr. Prince is a member of the famous Prince family that has given to the Baptist Church six of the most able and influential ministers in any denomination. Dr. and Mrs. Over will leave shortly on a lengthy tour of the west to the Pacific coast, covering a period of about two and a half months. Rev. Over has taken the work as general representative of Baptist interests, nationally, and expects next fall to assume personal direction of the work of the National Baptist Theological and Missionary Training Seminary as its president. They will say good bye to their Denver friends on that evening. Miss Edna Over, after spending the holidays with her parents and Denver friends, will returns to Lawrence to finish the work of her senior year at the Kansas University. CHRISTMAS SPIRIT REIGNS O'ER ALL DENVER An Ideal Day Rendered the More Perfect by Generous Hearts Denver's Christmas spirit, as manifested last Tuesday, will serve to mark the day as the greatest observance of the world's most beloved festival ever known to the history of the city. The annual visit of dear old Santa Claus gave happiness to so many hearts, and found its way into so many homes that today there are none too poor nor too rich to do him reverence. The Yuletide spirit was evidenced in various activities, largely of a charitable nature, and prevailed everywhere, in mansion and house, jail house and cathedral, hospital and orphanages—no part of the city was overlooked by the generous-hearted patron saint and Denver's needy poor were sought out and remembered as never before. Men's Club Makes City Pilgrimage Chief among those organizations that put in the day spreading good cheer among needy families was the Men's Club of the Church of the Redeemer, assisted generously by Pythian Lodge No. 11. With a caravan of autos laden with all the good things of the season, scores of our leading business and professional men lent themselves to the task of reaching those in far, inaccessible places. Their mission was a success. It was a grand and glorious day. Forty Homes Visited. In the distribution of gifts forty homes were visited, many of them barren and cold, some where two and three members of the family were upon the bed of affliction, and others who had despaired of a visit from Santa Claus. There was candy, apples and nuts in plenty for the "kiddies" and flour, coffee, sugar, dressed chickens and coal for the family needs. Churches Hold Special Services Denver churches throughout the city held special services and Christmas musical programs that were of high order and drew forth large attendance. In fact, it is reported that at practically every church large numbers were turned away, so great was the interest and so eager were the people to hear the especially prepared programs. Wallace Simpson Post Does Noble Once a soldier always a soldier. Once the comradeship of arms and warfare is shared among men there lingers a fellowship and solicitude that stretch of years cannot efface. Under this spell the Wallace Simpson Post of the American Legion extended its Christmas spirit to the imprisoned men of the 24th United States Infantry at Leavenworth by sending a Christmas box to each of the fifty-five men and a similar treat was given each ex-service man confined in Fitzsimmons Hospital. Carolers Make Merry The true spirit of Christmas was symbolized Monday night when the entire city was made to resound with the echoes of Yuletide carols sung by various and enthusiastic groups. Starting from the Phyllis Wheaty home at 10:30 sharp, the carolers invaded all parts of Denver carrying the beautiful Christmas message in melody to many sick persons and to homes that have known recent sadness. It was a lovely thing to do and gave buoyant spirits to many who otherwise would have been denied this delightful feature of the Christmas spirit. NEGRO IS CONVICTED OF CRIM₄ INAL LIBEL Victor Walker Is Liable to Year in Prison and Fine of $500. Victor Walker, colored, former deputy sheriff under Mayor Dewey C. Bailey and editor of the New American Weekly, a Negro newspaper, was convicted on charges of criminal libel by a West Side court jury before Judge George F. Dunklee in the West Side court last Monday. Conviction of Walker, resulting from charges brought against him by Thomas Campbell, colored attorney, marked the first verdict of guilty under the criminal libel laws in local criminal court history. Walker will be liable to imprisonment in the penitentiary for not more than one year and a fine of $500 as the result of his conviction. Immediately after the verdict of guilty was returned in the court, Walker was permitted freedom under $2,500 bond until next Thursday under orders of Judge Dunklee. The bond was fixed by the court over the protests of Deputy District Attorney Earl Wetteneng, who, with Prosecutor H. N. Sales, prosecuted the case. The order of the court fixing the bonds was taken in line with a rarely used precedent under which the court can permit release of a convicted man under bail if circumstances require. The action last night, it was said, was due to the fact that the crime for which Walker was convicted was the least serious of all the felonies and on account of the Christmas season. Charges against the Negro editor were filed several months ago by officials of the district attorney's office after Walker had attacked Campbell in his paper in the course of the political campaign last spring. The articles in question, written under Walker's name, charged Campbell wrongfully, it was decided by the jury, with irregularities in connection with the handling of funds for a colored battalion during the war. The newspaper attacks were directed in an attempt to oust Campbell as a leader in the colored civic association. At the time Campbell was employed in the office of the clerk of the District Court. The charges by Walker were held to be false by the action of the jury in returning its verdict of guilty. The verdict was returned three hours after the case was placed in the hands of the jury.—Rocky Mountain News. DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING COMPANY FUNERAL NOTICE MRS. P. W.

Two women sit in the background. Gummed-Paper Dress Forms Are Aid to Home Sewing. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) home demonstration agents nature, often, compiling, t As a result of a recent visit to the United States Department of Agriculture, an Englishwoman has become so keenly interested in the making of gummed-paper dress forms as an aid to home sewing, that she intends to introduce this labor-saving device to English housewives as soon as she returns, through the medium of women's institutes. Miss Minnie Zimmerman, the visitor, is president of the Loughton Woman's institute in Essex, near London, which has about 370 members. As there are over 2,000 similar local women's institutes scattered throughout England, and as it is required that members "give as well as get" instruction in practical new ways of doing things, the paper dress form seems likely to be taken up widely in England as it has been in the United States. Thousands of women in this country, especially those in rural districts who cannot Applying Gummed-Paper to Living Model. get help with their sewing, have made dress forms according to instructions given by extension agents so that they can fit their own clothes more easily and remodel old garments. Exchange of Instruction. Miss Zimmerman spent some time with extension and home economics workers in the department studying the organization of work for farm women, the methods used and subjects taught, with a view to adapting some of our ideas to English needs. An exchange of instruction was tentatively arranged for when three of our DIFFERENT WAYS OF USING CRANBERRIES They Help Greatly to Replace Fruits and Berries (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Cranberries have many uses in addition to the traditional sauce or jelly that accompanies the Thanksgiving and Christmas turkeys. Coming on the market, as they do, when cold weather begins, they help to replace the fresh fruits and berries that have disappeared from the menu, and furnish fruit acids and other valuable constituents needed in the diet. Cranberry sauce is, of course, the easiest use for these berries, because it takes but a few minutes to cook the cranberries and sugar sufficiently. When made with a small amount of water the sauce will be firm enough to turn out of molds when cold. Any good cookbook gives directions for making cranberry sauce to accompany turkey or other poultry. When cranberry jelly is preferred the sauce must be strained. Cranberry ice or sherbet, made with the juice of fresh berries, is often served with the meat course instead of the more common cranberry sauce. Either the sauce or jelly may be stored, like any other preserves, in sterilized glasses covered with paraffin. It is then useful as a spread for bread, as a sandwich filling, in tart shells for desserts, on ice cream or plain blanc mange, on shortcake, as a sauce for hot cake-like desserts such as cottage pudding or puffs, with pancakes, in jelly rolls, layer cake or charlotte russe. In addition to being spread on shortcake, cranberry sauce can be combined with biscuit dough in several ways. Served in a baking dish, covered with a biscuit top, it becomes "cranberry cobbler"; spread on a square of biscuit dough, such as one makes for Dutch apple cake, and then baked, it makes a cranberry cake, which many people would prefer to a tart or other pastry. home demonstration agents on their return after completing scholarship in France will be taking special courses of training in England. These agents will go to the Loughton Woman's institute to learn glove making and other leather work, and give, in return, demonstrations in making paper dress forms, bottling pectin extracts and packing one or two attractive canned products. Aim of English Institutes. In describing before a group of extension specialists the plan and scope of the women's institutes in England, Miss Zimmerman explained that the aim of these organizations is social as well as educational. Women of various interests and in different walks of life are urged to join them for the sake of community solidarity. The regular meetings are social in nature, including lectures, pageants, historical, musical and dramatic entertainments, folk and period dancing and similar features in which all can participate. In addition there are a great variety of classes conducted in which any woman, who wishes to, can learn to do or make something which saves expenditure or by which she can earn money. Such work as making rush seats, gloves, bags, upholstery, umbrella covers, blouses, whitewashing or soldering is in great demand. The institutes resemble extension work in that voluntary local leaders do a great deal of the actual instruction. They attend special training classes at their own expense and must pass tests before they can qualify as instructors. One-half of the expense of conducting the institutes is raised locally, the remainder is borne by the British department of agriculture, but the state support is to be withdrawn. Fixed Annual Charge. The institutes differ from our extension groups in that a fixed annual charge of 2 shillings is made, and there are other small fees for class instruction and for any refreshments served at meetings. Apparently no meetings occur, either in the daytime or evening, without the customary English cup of ten, but the usual charge of 3 pence seems to be cheerfully met by all of the many members who find that both the social and educational aspects of the institutes add much to their enjoyment of life. Cranberry pie may be made of cranberry sauce or cranberries, either with or without raisins. When equal parts of raisins and cranberries are used it is often called "mock cherry" pie. Cranberry pies are usually made without a top crust, although a lattice of pastry strips may be used, or a meringue may be spread over the top and delicately browned. In a variation of "mock cherry" pie, chopped, pitted, cooked prunes are substituted for raisins. Cranberries may be introduced in many dishes where cherries would be used in the spring. A hot steamed pudding, made by a biscuit dough recipe, is excellent if one cupful of cranberries is stirred in for each pint of flour. Cranberries may be used in richer steamed puddings with more eggs and other ingredients; they may be put into baked or boiled bread puddings, "cabinet" or stale-cake pudding, or plain batter pudding. Most of these desserts require a sauce of some sort. A soft "hard" sauce is excellent with any of them, or a liquid sauce, such as foamy or lemon sauce, thickened with egg and cornstarch, or cranberry sauce itself. Cranberry souffle can be made if it is not necessary to economize on eggs. Steamed brown bread may have cranberries in it. Candied cranberries are easy to make and have many uses. The United States Department of Agriculture has a recipe for preparing them which will be furnished to those interested. They can be put into many of the desserts mentioned instead of fresh cranberries, and used in all the ways in which glaced cherries are used. Dropped in batter and fried, candied cranberries make unusual fritters as an accompaniment to meat or for a luncheon dessert. They are good on or in ice cream, in cake icing, on cookies, in mixed fruit gelatins, in coffee rings, buns or other raised doughs; dipped in sweet chocolate, or eaten just as they are. A very good cranberry relish or conserve can be made of cranberries, sugar, raisins, orange peel and juice, vinegar, sugar and spices. The proportions are about the same as in other fruit conserves containing oranges and raisins. The KITCHEN CABINET (©) 1923, Western Newspaper Union. The roses, the roses that lately blossomed, red. Are wreathed in frosty bud and bloom of sparkling white instead; The sunflower's golden plunder of buccaneering bees Has turned to weathered hostelries for hungry chickadees; The fountain's voice is silent, the dial capped and blind With winter stretching bleak before and sunny hours behind. And yet—like far, faint voices of March-awakened streams— I seem to catch the laughter of little garden dreams. That raise shy eyes of greeting where the circled illac stands. And guard frail blight-brown promiscuity within small fragrant bands. In various parts of the country where deer abound, venison is now being served. The game, wild flavor of the meat is especially attractive to all lovers of the chase. Venison is one of the meats which should not be overcooked; it should be served rare to have it at its best. X Sauted Venison Steaks, Cumberland Sauce. — Cut venison steaks into circular pieces and use the trimmings for making stock. Sauce the steaks in hot butter in a frying pan and serve with Cumberland Sauce.—Soak two tablespoonfuls of citron cut into short matchlike pieces, two tablespoonfuls of glazed cherries, one tablespoonful of sultana raisins, in orange juice for several hours. Drain and cook the fruit in a little fruit juice, add one-third of a cupful of currant jelly, and as soon as the jelly is dissolved add one and one-third cupfuls of brown sauce and two tablespoonfuls of shredded almonds. Venison Cutlets.—Clean and trim slices of venison cut from the loin. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, brush with melted butter and roll in soft bread crumbs. Place on a hot broiler and broil five minutes or saute in butter. Serve with a currant jelly sauce. A roast or a saddle of venison are prepared as one does lamb or mutton and served with currant sauce. Roast Leg of Venison.—Lay a leg of venison in mild vinegar with one-fourth teaspoonful of ginger, one sliced onion, six cloves and ten peppercorns. Turn once and leave two days. Remove from the vinegar, wipe, season well, dredge with flour and roast as usual. A fine roast, if one desires a good-sized one, is fresh ham. Roast until well done, seasoning well with a bit of garlic thrust into the meat, baste often and serve with apple sauce. Amid the clamor of the street The fancy often fills With far-off thoughts; I live again Among the streams and hills. —William Dunn. GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE For a change from the usual method of serving chicken try Cadillac Chicken.—Wipe a chicken, dressed as for broiling, sprinkle with salt and pepper, place in a well-greased broiler and cook eight minutes. Remove Cadillac Chicken.—Wipe a chicken, dressed as for broiling, sprinkle with salt and pepper, place in a well-greased broiler and cook eight minutes. Remove to pan and rub over with the following: Cream four tablespoonfuls of butter, add one teaspoonful of mustard, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of vinegar, and a few dashes of cayenne. Sprinkle with three-fourths of a cupful of soft, buttered crumbs and bake until the chicken is tender and the crumbs are brown. French Macaroon Cream.—Soak one tablespoonful of gelatin in three tablespoonfuls of cold water. Scald two cupfuls of milk with one square of chocolate, add the yolks of three eggs beaten with one-half cupful of sugar. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, then add the stiffly-beaten whites, two-thirds of a cupful of macaroons rolled and one teaspoonful of vanilla. Turn into individual molds and chill. Serve with whipped cream. Molded Salmon—Cook one cupful of stale bread crumbs and one cupful of milk to a smooth paste. Add four tablespoons of butter, one cupful of flaked salmon, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-eighth of a teaspoonful of pepper, fold in the stiffly-beaten whites of two eggs, fill buttered mold two-thirds full and set in a pan of hot water, cover with buttered paper and bake in a moderate oven until firm. Garnish with slices of hard-cooked eggs and parsley. Richmond Corn Cakes.—To three-fourths of a cupful of canned corn add one-half cupful of milk, one-half tablespoonful of sugar and two eggs well beaten. Mix and sift seven-eighths of a cupful of flour, one tablespoonful of baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt. Combine mixtures, drop by tablespoonfuls into buttered muffin rings, set into a dripping pan and bake in a moderate oven. Very nice to serve with chicken or a roast of beef. Nellie Maxwell The KITCHEN CABINET Is there any harmony of tints that has such stirrings of delight as the sweet modulations of a woman's voice.—G. Ellot. GOOD THINGS FOR OCCASIONS A most delightful salad combination is tomato and pineapple. When the fresh fruits are unobtainable the canned may be used, varying the method of serving. For fresh tomatoes use the following: ```markdown ``` Tomatoes With Pineapple.—Peel medium-sized ripe tomatoes, removing a slice from the top of each, and take out the seeds and pulp. Sprinkle the inside with salt and invert, let stand one-half hour. Fill the tomatoes with fresh pineapple cut into fine bits, or shredded, with nuts, using two-thirds of pineapple and one-third of nut meats. Mix with a rich mayonnaise or a cream dressing and serve on a bed of lettuce. Stewed Chicken With Onions.—Remove the breasts and second joints from two chickens. Cook in water to cover with a dozen small onions, until tender. Remove the chicken, reduce the stock to one and one-half cupfuls, drain the onions from the stock. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, add four tablespoonfuls of flour and the stock. Bring to the boiling point, add one-half cupful of heavy cream, season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Add the onions and chicken and bring to the boiling point. Mock Sweetbreads.—Chop one pound of veal, add two ounces of chopped salt pork and mix until well blended; then add two-thirds of a cupful of soft bread crumbs, two eggs, one-third of a cupful of flour, one-half cupful of milk, one-half teaspoonful of salt and one-eighth of a teaspoonful of pepper. Form into eight pieces, dot with butter, using one and one-half tablespoonfuls, and pour around three-fourths of a cupful of chicken stock. Cover and bake one hour, basting every ten minutes. Serve with tomato or white sauce. Russian Salad Dressing.—Take one half teaspoonful each of mustard and salt, one-eighth teaspoonful each of paprika and white pepper, add to these one tablespoonful each of vinegar and lemon juice, one teaspoonful of grated onion, one tablespoonful of chill sauce, one teaspoonful of worcestershire sauce and one tablespoonful of minced green pepper, two teaspoonfuls of minced parsley. Beat all into one-half cupful of salad oil, put into a glass jar and shake well to emulsify. Chill before using. This dressing will also keep for some time if kept cold. Shake well before using. Somehow, in poetry, as nowhere else, there flows along, side by side with words skilfully used, a current that carries us beyond the intrinsic value of sense—Contributors' Club. In using citrus fruits for salads, scald the fruit in boiling water for five minutes, then the rind may be easily peeled, the white skin coming off with it. Fruit Salad. A very attractive and yet simple salad may be pre- minutes, then the rind may be easily peeled, the white skin coming off with it. Fruit Salad.—A very attractive and yet simple salad may be prepared from a grape fruit, an orange and a bright red-skinned apple. Peel the orange and grape fruit and separate into sections, removing all the tough stringy fiber of the fruit. Cut the apple without peeling into eighths, removing the section of core. Arrange a section of grape fruit, then pieces of the red apple, a section of orange, another piece of grape fruit and apple, making a small hemisphere. Place this on lettuce and serve with a spoonful of rich mayonnaise at the side of the salad. Ox Joints en Casserole.—Have the oxtails cut at the joints, cover with boiling water and cook six minutes. Drain, dredge with flour and saute in butter, with one sliced onion. Put into a casserole, sprinkle with one-fourth of a cupful of flour, one teaspoonful of salt, and one-eighth of a teaspoonful of pepper. Pour over two and one-half cupfuls of water and canned tomatoes and cook three hours. Remove oxtails and strain sauce; return both to the dish. Add two-thirds of a cupful of carrot and turnip cut into cubes. These vegetables may be cooked with the meat, making a better flavored sauce. Chestnut Croquettes.—Take one cupful of mashed French chestnuts, two tablespoonfuls of thick cream, the yolks of two eggs, one teaspoonful of sugar. Mix well, shape into balls, dip into egg and crumbs, fry in deep fat and drain. Nice as a garnish for turkey or any fowl. If the conserve shelf is getting low try this tasty combination: Molded Salad.—Add gelatin to tomatoes that have been put through a sieve, seasoned and molded in small egg cups. Serve on lettuce with small spoonfuls of pineapple heaped around the tomato. Add mayonnaise, a spoonful at the side, and serve.
