OFFERS PRIZES TO N. A. A. C.P. BRANCHES MAKING BEST RECORD VOL. XXX MME. C. J. WALKER OFFERS PRIZES BRANCHES MAI New York, May 30.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, today announced that the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis had offered prizes to be awarded annually to two branches and to one individual for excellences in services rendered to the Advancement Association and to colored Americans. The prizes are in the form of two scholarships and a gold medal as follows: One scholarship of $100 to the branch which makes the greatest progress in the contest year in raising money for the national office of the N. A. A. C. P., this scholarship to be awarded by majority vote of the branch members to any person who is a student at any recognized college or secondary school. The scholarship is to be known as the Madam C. J. Walker Memorial Scholarship. A second scholarship of $75 to go to the branch of the N. A. A. C. P. excelling in the proportionate increase of its membership. No branch may receive more than one of these scholarships in the same year and a branch may not be awarded the same scholarship within less than three yers after the award. The second scholarship is to be known as the Madam A. Lelia Walker Scholarship and, like the first, may be awarded by a vote of branch members or by a popular election in the community in which the branch is located. The third award shall be a gold medal costing not less than $50 to be given to any individual member or officer of the N. A. A. C. P., not connected with the national office, for rendering, in the opinion of the judges, the greatest possible service to the colored people through the N. A. A. C. P. during the contest year. Any sort of service rendered through the N. A. A. C. P. may be considered but special consideration will be given for services in obtaining money and members. This gold medal is not to be awarded more than once to the same individual. The plan for these awards was drawn up by F. B. Ransom, general manager of the Madam C. J. Walker Company and William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. The aim is to stimulate the activity of the branches in raising money and enlisting members for the Advancement Association's work, and to stimulate a healthy rivalry among the membership of the organization outside of the national office in service to the colored people of America. The judges of the awards shall be the secretary, the field secretary and the director of branches of the N. A. A. C. P., Madam A'Lelia Walker, president of the Walker Company, and some other person to be named by the Walker Company. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., is to act as chairman of the board of judges and William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., as secretary. It is expected that the first wards will be made in January, 1925, based on the work of branches and individuals during 1924. CHILDREN UNDER FIVE YEARS OF AGE (Lincoln News Service) Philadelphia, June 2.—In the state of Pennsylvania there are 274 colored children under five years of age per 1,000 colored women, 15 to 44 years of age, as compared with 511 white children per 1,000 white women of the same age group. In Ohio the proportion is 284 colored and 443 white children; in New York, 219 colored and 394 white; and in Illinois, 227 colored to 426 white children. "The Price of Freedom" (Lincoln News Service) Washington, June 2, 1924.—In his new book, "The Price of Freedom," President Coolidge speaks out clearly in a vigorous, good old American style that is very refreshing and extremely heartening. He speaks for law and order and for self control, and says: "We Americans have been individualists. We are individualists still. That sturdy spirit which makes the pioneer is self-reliance. Without it no people ever achieved liberty. With it no people can be held in subjection. In the protection of the rights of the individual our constitution and our laws set up a new standard, guaranteeing their maintenance against all the forces of society, or even of government itself. Nothing must be permitted to encroach upon those rights. They are the foundation upon which stands the whole edifice of our institutions. If ever the citizen comes to feel that our government does not protect him in the free and equal assertion of his rights at home and abroad, he will withdraw his allegiance from that government, as he ought to do and bestow it on some more worthy object. It is idle to assume that the privilege of the strong has been destroyed unless the rights of the weak are preserved. The American theory of government means that back of the humblest citizen, supporting him in all his rights, organized for his protection, stands the whole force of the nation. That is the warrant and the sole warrant of his freedom. He can assert it in the face of the world. The individual has rights, but only the citizen has the power to protect rights. And the protection of rights is righteous." UNITED STATES AND AFRICA TO EXCHANGE PROFESSORS Washington, D. C., May 29.—President C. B. D. King, of Liberia, has accepted the appeal of Howard University to establish six three-year scholarship for Liberians here and to send Howard professors to teach a year or two in Liberia College. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1924 State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House ABLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, Colored Bathing Beach Proposed (Lincoln News Service) Washington, June 2, 1924.—A bathing beach will be established in the Tidal Basin for the special benefit of the colored people of the district, if the necessary funds are appropriated by Congress, it is announced. An appropriation of $25,000 has been available for a colored bathing beach in the district for the past two years. Various sites were chosen by Col. Sherill, the officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, but none of them were acceptable to the representatives of the colored people. One of these was at the south end of Columbia Island, near the Virginia shore, and another was at the Virginia end of the Francis Scott Key bridge. Finally, after appeals for the location of the colored bathing beach in the Tidal Basin on the shore opposite the existing bathing beach for white people, the secretary of war has agreed to the proposition provided Congress increases the available appropriation to an amount sufficient for the purpose. He has presented the matter to the chairmen of the District of Columbia congressional committees. Alabama Republican (White) Het Up Over "Negro Ascendency" in Party (N. A. A. P. C. Press Service) An attack upon "Negro ascendancy" in the councils of the Republican party in the state of Alabama, has been made by the former chairman of the Republican executive committee in Montgomery, Ala. George N. King, who charged that at the recent county convention Negroes were not only in the majority but had the bad taste to elect people of their own race to the chairmanship of the county committee and other offices. In a published letter Mr. King refers to the "disgusting scenes" o the election and warns Alabama Republicans of "how embarrassing it would be to bring out the fact that your county organization was a body of Negroes." Mr. King alleged that the Negro elected to county chairmanship, George Newstall, was an "undertaker," that he carried on a saloon business until forced out by the federal government and that he owns property padlocked by an injunction from the federal court. These allegations of Mr. King are contradicted by a correspondent of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who asserts that Mr. Newstall was never an undertaker, that he was never arrested for any offense, that he carried on a saloon business about fourteen years and was legally empowered to do so, and finally, that the property referred to as being closed by federal injunction was being run by a white man. Pennsylvania has the largest colored population of any northern state, and is followed, in the order named, by New York, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Indiana, Michigan and Kansas. Negro Riveter Still Holds World's Record (Lincoln News Service) New York, June 2, 1924.—Although after a remarkable performance on May 19th, Goodman Rich, white, an expert riveter, who had just driven 308 seven-eighths inch steel rivets in 37 minutes, an average of better than eight per minute, laid claim to the world's riveting record, investigation of official riveting records shows that Charles Knight, a Baltimore Negro, still holds the world's record as a riveter. At the works of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, in 1918, Knight drove 4,875 three-quarter inch rivets in a nine-hour day, or an average of better than nine a minute. For both speed and endurance Knight's record is still the world title. A riveter in the Scotland shipyards is also close to the riveting speed kings. Young Colored Attorney Presents Government's Defense (Lincoln News Service) Washington, June 2, 1924.—In case No. A-94, St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico Railway Company against the United States, which was called for trial last week in the United States Court of Claims, L. R. Mehlinger, a young assistant attorney of the U. S. Department of Justice, appeared for the United States and submitted the government's defense on its merits, in opposition to Lawrence E. Cake, who appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. Mehlinger is a graduate of Howard University and a professor in a prominent local law school. Democrats to Take Anti-Klan Stand Indianapolis, Ind., May 29.—With the Republicans of this state lined up definitely with the Ku Klux Klan, Democrats in their convention here June 5th are expected to take a decided anti-Klan stand. Dr. C. B. McCullough, Democratic nominee for governor, has declared squarely against the Klan. The following plank has been submitted to the state convention by the National Council of Catholic Men: "We condemn without equivocation or mental reservation all proscription of people because of creed, color, race or religion. We are unalterably opposed to the pernicious practices of the Ku Klux Klan and all other organizations the effect of whose very existence is to create dissension and disorder, divide communities and to cause animosity and bitter enmity among people where friendship and amity among would otherwise prevail." If the Democrats come out against the Klan, that will take some 30,000 colored voters from Republicans. The Steel City Industrial and Commercial Association of Pittsburgh has purchased 110 acres of ground in Fayette county, Pa., to be used as an amusement park. 43rd Commencement Exercises of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute THE 43rd Commencement Exercises of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute have just closed. They will go down as the greatest in the history of the school; auspicious for their large attendance and the large graduating class. Full 20,000 persons attended, many coming from far-away points to witness the graduation of their son or daughter, to honor the great institution founded by the late Booker T. Washington and to themselves be shocked by the magnitude of this human character builder and this isolated but no less great contributor to our good American citizenship. Many noteworthy events made up the commencement, among them being the Annual Alumni meeting at which Mr. Walter L. Hutchinson of the class of 1914 spoke; Class day, the annual field meet, etc., etc. But yet echoing through all Tuskegee and commented upon by faculty and student body alike, is the masterful address of Attorney F. B. Ransom, general manager of the Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. of Indianapolis, Ind., who spoke Thursday morning, May 22, in the chapel before one of the largest graduating and commencement crowds in the history of the school. Ripe with the philosophy of his wide experience, colorful with wonderful mental pictures, highly youthful in student appeal, and richly interspersed with timely humor, Attorney Ransom thrilled the stupendous audience and branded the outgoing graduates with a profound determination to carry Tuskegee's teachings wherever they may roam. Ninety-one boys and girls as the graduating class were his special audience and from their expression of gratitude, their apparent seriousness and their seeming determination they were greatly benefited. Encouraged and led on by the helpful address of Attorney F. B. Ransom, the race may expect much from the class of '24. Fifth Year Since the Passing of the Late Madam C.J.Walker Fifth Year Since the Passing of the Late Madam C.J.Walker THE Sunday just past marks the fifth year since the passing of the late Madam C. J. Walker, but Madam Walker is not forgotten. After all, however sad it is to realize that in the natural course of things we all must go, on the other hand it is heartening to know and feel that if we serve well and unselfishly we will not be forgotten. Madam Walker will not only live in the charities that she gave and the good that she did, but will live in the heart of every colored boy and girl in the grateful consciousness of a struggling race. Madam C. J. Walker stands out as the premier philanthropist of her race, not because she was the first to give largely to the Y. M. C. A., but because her total philanthropic gifts are not even approached by any person of color. It must be remembered that in addition to her many other gifts, the large trust funds created, that she left $96,000 in cash bequests to individuals, schools and colleges throughout the country. Yes, Madam C. J. Walker will be remembered, loved and honored on down the ages. NO.34. Woman Attorney Is Candidate Columbus, O., May 29 (PNS)—Colored Republicans of Columbus are becoming imbued with a marked degree of race-consciousness in connection with the candidacy of Miss Daisy D. Perkins, successful woman attorney, for state representative. Left motherless at the tender age of fourteen months, Attorney Perkins, through untiring efforts and application and a determination, qualified herself and became one of Ohio's first colored woman lawyers, and now enjoys a large clientele. The records of the prosecuting attorney's office will show that Miss Perkins has wone criminal cases during the last two years than any of the other 800 lawyears in Franklin county. Of the 800 lawyers, twenty are colored. SHORT CUTS There are 3,062 counties in the U. S. Of the 148 colored farmers in Colorado, 115 are owners. Ira Bryant is still doing business at the old stand in Nashville. Sixty per cent of the colored inhabitants of Illinois live in Chicago. Two-thirds of the total colored population of Michigan live in Detroit. Ice dealers have started schools for the purpose of teaching drivers efficient salesmanship. Mr. John Bankett of Indianapolis has been nominated on the Democratic ticket for the State Legislature. Mrs. Lena Watters Hall is organizing citizenship study clubs among the women of our group in Illinois. English waiters now go abroad in droves each years to learn foreign languages and to acquire the finesse of the profession. Nearly 32 per cent of our southern-born people, now living in the North, came from the two states of Virginia and Kentucky. Mr. H. L. Sanders of Indianapolis is our largest manufacturer of white duck and linen coats for physicians, dentists, druggists, barbers and waiters. One way out of the dilemma is to embroider the Pullman porter's name on his coat—after he has been in the service ten years. Negro Lawyer Replaces Mulvihill as Mississippi National Committeeman Cleveland, Ohio, June 5.—Republican National Committeeeman Mulvihill, veteran winner of many a hard-fought contest before the Republican national committee, lost his fight Thursday when the committee refused to seat his delegates and accepted instead the delegates headed by Perry W. Howard, a lawyer of Jackson, Miss. The committee's action forecast the replacement of Mulvihill as national committeeman by Howard. The motion to seat the Howard delegates was by Committeeman Hilles of New York. The vote was unanimous. Thirty-eight votes were cast. The most troublesome of the contests was decided Wednesday by seating the Henry Lincoln Johnson delegation from Georgia.

Seventeen thousand barrels of oil, including by-products, have been secured. Former Chancellor Marx consented to attempt the formation of a new cabinet to succeed the coalition government which has resigned. He notified President Ebert he would try to create a ministry on the basis of bourgeois parties. Social Democrats probably will have no posts in the new government. The Austrian chancellor Ignaz Selpel, was shot and seriously wounded while alighting from a train in Vienna. The attack on him was made by a fellow passenger. While the chancellor suffered a serious wound, it is not believed fatal. His assailant was shot and badly wounded while being placed under arrest. Villa Hermosa, capital of the state of Tabasco, Mexico, and considered the last rebel stronghold, fell before a federal attack, according to a War Department announcement, quoting advises from Gen. Vicente Gonzalez. The rebel garrison, under command of Fernando Segovia, was dispersed, suffering a large number of casualties. Ho Tim, editor of Pun Man Po, a Chinese newspaper, was shot and seriously wounded while in his office, a victim of the first tong war on record in Honolulu. His assailant escaped but was recognized. Chief Detective J. R. Kellett says the shooting was the result of a dispute between the two factions of the Chee Kung tong. Floods described as the worst in forty years have followed the heavy week end rains in England, the Midlands and the north of England suffering the most. Several persons are reported drowned, much live stock has been destroyed, and the property damage is heavy, many farms having been inundated. The forecasters predict more rain.

A morgue and a hospital housed all of the thirty-eight subnormal girls who were in the care of the Hope Development School at Playa Del Rey, southwest of Los Angeles, when that institution was razed by fire recently. Twenty of them, charred, twisted forms of what had been little children of less than 10 years of age, or girls in their teens, or young women in their 20's, still children in mentality, were buried at a Venice mortuary not far from the scene of the blaze. The Wyoming public service commission authorized the Sheridan Electric Railway Company to abandon its street railway line between Sheridan and veterans' hospital No. 6, formerly Fort McKenzie.

The Alaskan fisheries bill, urged by President Coolidge and Secretary Hoover as necessary to save the salmon industry from destruction was passed by the Senate, ending a bitter fight which has been in progress for many months. It previously had been approved by the House and provides authority for the Commerce Department to establish closed areas in Alaskan fishing waters and to enforce other measures designed to conserve the fish as a food supply. The annual 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway produced record-breaking time for the great gasoline classic and also brought honors to two race drivers—Joe Boyer of Detroit and L. L. Corum of Indianapolis. To Boyer goes the credit for bringing the winning car across the finish line, while to Corum, who was in the driver's seat of the victorious car as it flashed away at the start, will go the cash prizes of approximately $30,000. AN EPITOME OF LATE LIVE NEWS CONDENSED RECORD OF THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS AT HOME AND ABROAD FROM ALL SOURCES FROM ALL SOURCES SAYINGS, DOINGS, ACHIEVE MENTS, SUFFERINGS, HOPES AND FEARS OF MANKIND WESTERN Eight men were injured, six of them seriously, in an explosion in the Southern Pacific railroad tunnel under construction near Summit, Calif., a few days ago. The accident was caused when a drill struck a stick of dynamite that had failed to explode in a previous blast. Guilty of heresy. This verdict was returned against Bishop William M. Brown of Gallion, Ohio, by the tribunal of bishops of the Protestant Episcopal church, sitting in the case at Cleveland, Ohio. The verdict was read by Presiding Bishop John Garner Murray, Baltimore, in the hushed crowded court chamber of dingy old Trinity cathedral. Ashes of the Hope Development School for Subnormal Children at Playa Del Rey, eighteen miles from Los Angeles, on the ocean beach, yielded the burned remains of twenty-two persons as the result of a tragic fire. Eighteen others, inmates of the school, are in a precarious condition at St. Catherine's hospital in Santa Monica, a few miles away. Former Senator Charles E. Townsend of Michigan, speaking before the United States Good Ronds convention in Albuquerque, said he had "long been convinced that with proper restrictions the states could better handle public lands than does the federal government, and if they were turned over to the states the road problem would be greatly simplified." Frederick M. Greisheimer, uncle of Robert Franks, Chicago boy recently kidnapped and slain, was sentenced to eighteen months in federal prison at Leavenworth in Federal Court at Los Angeles after entering a plea of guilty to a charge of forging a physician's prescriptions for narcotics. Greisheimer, using the name Fred Ash, was arrested in San Diego last February. The fact that Greisheimer was in jail under an assumed name and could not be found after his nephew had been slain had led to a nationwide search for him in connection with the Franks murder case. WASHINGTON The Ford Motor Company was declared by the Supreme Court not to have infringed the Harmatta patent for electric welding of thin sheets of iron and steel, owned by the Thompson Spot Welder Company. President Coolidge signed the compromise tax reduction measure.

Wallace, United States Secretary of Agriculture, to Dr. U. G. Houck, representative of the Federal Bureau of Animal Industry, who is directing the fight from headquarters in Sacramento, Calif. Acting upon the personal request of Maj. Frederick L. Martin, former commander of the army around the world flight squadron, Major General Patrick, chief of the army air service, designated Lieut. Lowell H. Smith to be permanently in command of the globe encircling flyers. A plan to have Major Martin resume command during the later phases of the flight was abonded after he had conferred with the air service chief and other War Department officials. The House substitute for the Senate postal salary increase bill was passed by the House by a vote of 350 to 14. The two bills now go to conference. The chief difference between the two houses is on the Borah corrupt practices amendment added to the bill in the Senate. Under this provision frequent publicity the year around for campaign contributions is required. It is expected the conferees will agree to the amendment. The House bill carries $300 a year increases for postoffice clerks, carriers, supervisors, inspectors and assistant postmasters. The postoffice committee estimated the cost at $80,000,000. Gov. E. L. Trinkle of Virginia was elected president of the United States Good Roads Association at Albuquerque, N. M. Vice presidents-at-large were elected as follows; Chas. E. Townsend, Michigan; Gov.

HORNADAY Washington.—The plans for an army mobilization on the 12th of next Sep- tember to demonstrate the peuce strength of the country’s military es- tablishment ure taking form, Secre- tary of War Weeks has approved the mobilization plan as outlined by the general staff and go Jt seems certain that the program for this demonstra- tlon as originally planned will be car- ried out. Orders relating to the detalls of the Preparations for the mobilization will 0 out shortly to the corps aren com- manders and these commanders will communteate the details of the plan to regular army units within thelr Jur- isdiction and to O, R. C. commanders, to state adjutants general, etc. It is not proposed that the preparations for this demonstration shall place any considerable amount of work on the varlous units that go to make up the peace strength of the military estab- Ushment. It 1s explained that all the general staff here has in mind Is that every organized body of men or women that would heed an actual call to arms in case of an emergency shall on the morning of September 12 come to at- tention, just as they would in case there was actual trouble. Under the revised plan as approved by the secre- tary of war, hospital units, Red Cross units, boy scouts organizations, ns well as all men who have attached themselves to the reserve corps of the army will be expected to report for duty on the morning of September 12. Summer Maneuvers. The September mobilization 1s not to take the place of the regular sum- mer maneuvers. In the Fifth corps area the regulars, the O. R. C. and the National Guard will follow this sum: mer practically the same program they followed in the summer practice drills. In some of the corps areas the corps commanders are planning to have the various military units under them practice on mobilization in advance of the September 12 event. ‘This ix a matter, it Is explained here, that Is entirely in the hands of the corps com: manders. General John J. Pershing has entered heartily Into the spirit that 1s behind the September 12 demonstration. It may turn out, however, that this dem- onstration will not mark his retire ment from the arms, although he 1s eligible to retire on that day. Secre- tary Weeks has nofified President Coolidge that he would ike to have General Pershing remain at the head of the army a while longer. The gen eral will, however, it 1s understood. retire as chief of staff on the day he becomes eligible for a place on the retirement list. Within the next year there will be some sort of a test of the Industrial mobilization plan that has been worked out. Here is how the plan would pre Not Surpassed Anywhere, He Says but in His feart He Is Lover of Open. Washington.—A man from the des: ert has forsaken the great barren spaces for the whirl of Washington socinl and diplomatic life. But for A. M.

Hassanein Bey is one of Egypt's fa- yorite sons. While only in his thirty: fourth year, he has won distinction as fo soldier, athlete, adventurer, scholar and horseman.

Captain Bartlett is aboard the United States coast guard ship, the Bear, America’s most famous “ship of peace,” from which he will make his observations during the Bear's an- nual cruise in Alaskan and Siberian waters. ‘A romantic feature of the voyage Is the fact that the ship which went to rescue Greely, now, in making what may be her last trip, helps pave the way for future alr exploration of the Artic.

He quoted a recent survey of the 22,000,000 children and declared 15, 000,000 had bad teeth; 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 fallen arches, defective spines or Joints; 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 malnutrition; 5,000,000 poor eyesight; 1,000,000 more or less deaf; 1,000, 000 had had or did have tuberculosis: 25,000 had heart treuble, and 200,000 were mentally defective.

As the foremost living authority on practical navigation of Arctic waters Captain Bartlett was named a mem- ber of the polar expedition board. and during the consideration of the Shen- andoah’s flight he furnished much valuable data. An air exploration of the unknown million square miles between Point Barrow and the pole probably would be made in summer months, a time of year when no explorer ever went there, because the unbroken Ice of winter Is essential for surface travel. Ice floes and open water are alds to air operations in the North, while the summer months promise comfort- able flying temperatures and 24 hours of daylight, “The lure of a million square miles of unknown area, which may reveal land bodies that will be of use when commercial air routes are established across the pole remains a challenge to America.” sald Captain Bartlett, before he departed, “Our flag flies at the pole and at Point Barrow—it 1s up to Americans to find and claim what Hes between.” On Golden Anniversary Trip.

Mr. Daugherty had consistently Adopted the policy of accusing assail- ants, instead of defending himself from charges, the chairman went on, and he elted the indictment in Mon- sana of Senator Wheeler, the commit: tee prosecutor, as a “frameup” tlus- trative of the methods.

This was 8,000,000 more votes ‘han were cast in 1916, and 11,000,000 more than in 1912. Yet for every 100 ‘votes cast for President {n 1920, there were 96 stay-at-homes or absentees. The total stay-at-home vote reached ‘the vast aggregate of 25,705,003. “This stay-at-home total of over 25,- 000,000," said Mr, Michelet, “is ar- rived at after deducting 8,467,625 dis- qualified citizens of twenty-one years und over, including about 6,200,(%%) alien or unnaturalized foreign borns and over 2,000,000 illiterate citizens, white and colored, distranchised under the election laws of 12 Southern states.

One of the most Important of the Great Lakes fishes Is the whitetish. The latest figures published by the United States bureau of fisheries re- pért an annual catch of more than 625,000,000 of whitefish, From this it will be seen that it was an economic necessity to prevent the depletion of so Important a food supply. Before undertaking its “nursemaid’s” Job the bureau of fisheries made a study of the whitefish, ‘Che fish live in deep water most of the time, thelr food consisting of small crustaceans, mollusks and insect larvae. During the spawning season, which In Lake Erie begins in the early part of No- vember and lasts Into December, there is a general movement of the fish to the shallows, where the female will deposit from 10,000 to 75,000 exes each, depending on their size and maturity. “The highest vote efficiency percent- age shown by any state in 1920 In the vote cast for President was in Ken- tucky, where there were only 24 stay- at-homes or absent for each 100 votes registered at the polls, Doubtless the closeness of the Kentucky contest— Cox beating Harding by only 4,017— caused both sides to make strenuous efforts to get out the stay-at-homes. The second best record was made by Delaware, 33 stay-at-homes per 100 votes cast. Indiana, the old fighting ground of the national parties and usually described as a doubtful state, came third with only 35 stay-at-nomes for each 100 ballots.” ‘The 12 states of the upper Missis- sippl valley, known as the Middle West, make by all odds the best show- ing for any geographic section. The five east-north central group, Ohlo, Indiana, Ilinols, Michigan and Wis- consin—show 65 stay at homes per 190 votes, as compared with 94 stay- at-homes per 100 votes east by the three middle Atlantic states, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvanta. But the best showing Is made by the west-north central group—Minnesota, Towa, Missouri, North and South Da- kota, Nebraska and Kansas—with 59 stay-at-homes per 200 as compared ‘with 82 per 100 In New England. and other valuable forest growth, the appropriation therefor to be not more than $100,000 « year.

Only 1-cent and 2-cent stamps HISTORY IN THE MAKING THE TWENTY-FIFTH day of May just past marked the fifth year of the death of Mme. C. J. Walker, one of the greatest of our race women and one of the noblest characters known to our current history. The life's story of Mme. Walker reads much like fairy story, such wonders she wrought and so much was accomplished in such a short span of years. During her life time multitudes gasped and stood amazed at her almost unprecedented leap to fame and fortune, and had her achievements been entombed with the earthly body there would have remained much of historical interest that would have surely linked her with the present generation. But Mme. C. J. Walker did more than simply amass a fortune; she builted even more securely than was her mansion of beauty on the Hudson builted. She builted an institution, and that institution, through scientific and systematic application, is seeking to "carry on the wishes, the benevolence and sweet charity of its founder. The Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company is making history and in a way that reflects admirably upon the powers of organization and genius of the wonderful woman whose name it bears. In every growing and powerful institution a master mind and hand must be ever present, and this the Mme Walker Company has in the person of the general manager, Attorney F. B. Ransom. His perfect grasp of the situation and intimate knowledge of the possibilities of the company is leading it to high places of usefulness to society in many ways. Mme. Walker lived not for herself alone, nor does the great institution she founded flourish for material gain alone. A helping hand is given here and there, and only recently the manufacturing company established a scholarship to be known as the Mme. C. J. Walker Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship of $100 is to be handled through the N. A. A. C. P. and goes to the branch making the greatest progress in the contest year in raising money for the national office. This scholarship is to be awarded to any student at any recognized college or school. A second scholarship of $75, to go to the branch of the N. A. A. C. P. excelling in the proportionate increase of its membership, is also offered through the Mme. C. J. Walker Memorial Scholarship. Then comes a third award of a gold medal to be given to any individual member or officer of the association, not connection with the national office, for rendering, in the opinion of the judges, the greatest possible to colored people through the N. A. A. C. P. Here is history, important history in the making; here is co-operation of two giant institutions of the Race, of the kind and character needed in our struggles for a place in the affairs of civilization. The one, secure upon its own foundation of prosperity and wealth, recognizes the usefulness of the other and seeks to spur it on to greater activity and to nobler aims by awards that would be readily approved by Mme. C. J. Walker were she here on earth in person. But General Manager Ransom has the vision and only recently, in a splendid address during the commencement exercises at Tuskegee Institute, unfolded to some extent the broad spirit of philanthropy that is and shall be a controlling factor in the Mme. Walker Manufacturing Company so long as the Race may need a sustaining prop in its effort to stand successfully with other peoples of the earth. GRADUATION THE world takes on a new aspect at commencement time. In all parts of our common land a veritable army of young men and young women are marching forth, poised for achievement. The season is at hand when high school, or college, or maybe boarding school, bids hopeful youth to release its foothold upon the edge of today and plunge with reckless uncertainty into the vast realms of tomorrow. A very hopeful sign of the times is that reports are coming from schools all over the country to the effect that exceptionally large graduating classes are the rule. Thus it would seem that the craving for knowledge is on the increase, which in a broader and better sense means a higher and improved standard of citizenship. For after all the greater ends of education and the reasons for growing educational institutions, are that we may add to our usefulness in this world and to render human society a more worthy species of service. It is an inspiring sight to see a young boy or girl step out into the world with school diploma or college sheepskin in hand and look with clear eyes and unafraid, upon life's great responsibilities. Be it remembered, however, that the diploma or sheepskin carry with them no guaranty of success. They possess no magic charm and are mere certificates of something done, not something to be done. Mothers and fathers see splendid things and behold a wonderful future in the faces of their sons and daughters on such days. It is a vision likely to come but once in a life-time, and may in after years reflect only shallows and misery. It all depends upon the individual character and the individual worth. We have in mind at this time many Negro youth that will leave college or school-room for the last time in various parts of the country. We cannot escape the feeling that their success, for success it is up to a given point, represents sacrifice, toil and perhaps tears. They leave the school room to carve out a future and from the very first are confronted, not alone with individual impossibilities, but also with great racial problems. They must have "Mother and Dad" in mind as they enter upon life's crusted highway, and resolve to make the rest of their journey a little easier if possible. This can be done by a conscientious appreciation of one's immense duty to society over and above selfish ambitions. College degrees and diplomas are beautiful things in the life of the Negro, if only it will keep him in close touch with the Race at all times. The world is demanding the very best in all things, and if we can supply the best then cur years of toil and sacrifice, mayhap hardships, leading up to the graduating period, will not have been in vain. No More "Survival of the Fittest"; a Survival of All Not Too Unfit Ey DR. VERNON KELLOGG, in Atlantic Monthly. INTY years of active study since Darwin, of evolutionary phenomena and of technical discussion among specialists, do not leave evolution just where it was when Darwin and his coadjutors had to drop it. For example, Darwin saw in natural selection a satisfying explanation of the origin of species. We do not see this now. We see in natural selection an important factor in the control of evolutionary lines of plant and animal development, and a restraining sieve for the too unfit species, but not a sufficient unaided cause of species transmutation and adaptation. There is no more "survival of the fittest." There are many, many things about nature that we do not understand. We do not understand the origin of life or the fundamental cause or causes of its constant flux. We lack a satisfying explanation of such highly specialized adaptations as the extremes of protective coloration, the nest-taking habits of the solitary wasps, the extraordinary structural modifications and elaborate life-history of the complete parasites, and, even more baffling, those adaptive specializations which require for their utility very precise reciprocal modifications of structure and habit on the part of two different animal species, or on the part of a plant and an animal, as the orchids and the insects that crosspollinate them. So I want to plead for a wider conception of evolution, a conception as wide as living Nature herself. One of the objections to the acceptance of evolution has been its particularity. It has seemed to too many to be a special explanation of a few special problems in Nature. To a large part of the general public it has seemed chiefly an explanation of human origin, which flies in the face of the Biblical explanation, and hence, by easy implication, is something that denies the Bible, God and religion. But it is much more than this, and at the same time does not have all the significance attributed to it by the theologians. It is living Nature, and the way that living Nature has become what it is and will further become what it will be. Melting Pot, Not Test Tube for Experiments With Theories of Government By MRS. A. W. COOK, President-General D. A. R. The curriculums of our schools must be made to serve the needs of our times, and we must see to it that the conditions of teaching are sound and just, so that if we find among the teaching force in any one of our institutions of learning progenitors of half-baked radicalism, bolshevism, or socialistic communism, imposing their dangerous doctrines upon our youth, we shall as speedily scourge them out, as we would a virulent plague. There is no place in this country for divided allegiance. No man can serve two governments, or two patriotisms. If America is to serve civilization, America must stand first in the hearts of Americans. America is a melting pot, not a test tube for experiments with theories of government. The hope of America's tomorrow is in the boys and girls of today. If the rising generation seems too free, too indifferent to convention, it is because its faults are magnified through the varieties of opportunities for their revelation. Where is the man or woman who has not yielded to frivolous impulse in youth? Where the mature sedateness and decorum that has not been spiced with a dram of youthful folly? Who of us in the fullness of years and good deeds would willingly be judged wholly by one act of our early exuberance? Who dares to mistrust youth? Who dares to appraise the whole of a life by a part? If such there be, let him banish his doubt, and temper his judgment in the records of supreme sacrifice and bright courage of youth written in the pitiless heat of the World war. America's sons and daughters have never failed their country in great emergencies and they never will. Women Have Done a New Thing: They Have Made Lobbying Respectable By MAUD WOOD PARK, League of Women Voters. Women have done a thing which has never been done before; they have made lobbying respectable. In the old days when a certain group or a certain interest wanted a bill put through congress it sent a lobbyist or two to Washington or engaged somebody on the ground skilled at the business to see members of congress and "persuade" them to vote for the measure. In those days it would have been the direct of insult to say on the floor of the house or senate that a man was voting as he had been asked to vote. Now senators and representatives rather pride themselves on having it known that they are voting in the way the women want them to vote. The women's lobby is a "front door" lobby. It works in the open and is effective by reason of the millions of women behind it. Seventeen national organizations of women have representatives in Washington who work for legislation of interest to women in general regardless of party affiliations. They make no secret of it, for publicity is one of their three tremendous assets. The millions of voters behind them and the inherent common sense of the bills they push are the other two. Women Much More Radical and Uncompromising by Nature Than Men By DR. MARIAN PHILLIPS, Woman British Labor Leader. Women are radicals by nature. They are much more radical and uncompromising than men. It's true that in the past women have seemed to be conservative. But that's because only until within comparatively recent times have they had a chance to participate in politics. So naturally they have been indifferent. But once women become politically conscious, they turn to the left. The recent election in England showed that. I think as women become more and more interested in political affairs their radical tendencies will come progressively to the front. I have little patience with a woman's party such as Alice Paul is heading in the United States. I do not believe in separate politics for women. It's not necessary. They should mix with the men. There are plenty of men who are interested in seeing that justice is done the women and more can be accomplished by working in conjunction with men sympathetic to our aims than by working separately. The record of the Labor party has shown that. Of course, there are problems which concern principally women and on which they should have and exercise the greater influence in determining the party's policy.

SPANISH WAR VETERANS AND WALLACE SIMPSON POST WIN HIGH PRAISE IN MEMORIAL DAY PARADE Far surpassing their efforts of previous years and turning out in larger numbers, Corporal White Camp of Spanish War Veterans and Wallace Simpson Post of the American Legion, won much praise and favorable comment from the great crowd that lined the sidewalks of our principal streets during the Memorial Day parade, for their neat dress and distinctive soldierly bearing. In fact, Wallace Simpson post made the finest appearance of any of the units in the great parade and we do not doubt that the boys will again be awarded the trophy annually offered for the best appearance and largest attendance per capita. The members of Corporal White camp, following the parade, were escorted to the resident of Sergt. Barnes, 2749 Lafayette, where the ladies of Amanda Smith Auxiliary served an elaborate dinner, after which the veterans went to Fairmount cemetery, where they fired the usual salute over the graves of their comrades. A similar ceremony was indulged in by Wallace Simpson Post and its Woman's Auxiliary, who in addition planted flowers upon the graves of each of their sleeping comrades. In all, it was a Memorial Day long to be remembered. ORDER OF EASTERN STAR MAKES MAGNIFICENT SHOWING The first annual celebration of the O. E. S. under the direction of and allied with Columbine Grand Chapter of Colorado, at Shorter A. M. E. church last Sunday, was a very striking and beautiful affair.

The three Chapters participating were Lone Star Chapter No. 15, Queen of the South, O. E. S., and Evergreen Chapter No. 36. The sermon preached by Rev. I. S. Wilson was masterly and timely, while the mammoth Shorter choir rendered some high class selections. Program Organ Voluntary—Mrs. G. N. Ross. Opening Hymn—"Begin the Work of Praise."

OUR UNIVERSITY GRADUATES Last Wednesday evening at the City Auditorium the Annual Commencement Exercises of the Denver University were held, and among the nearly 300 graduates who received their various literary and scientific degrees were three of our young men—Charles Liby Howard, brother of Howard & Howard, grocers, who received the degree Bachelor of Arts; Paul James Oliver, who graduated as Doctor of Dental Surgery, and Theodore Holley Von Dickersohn, Bachelor of Science, and a son of one Denver's old and respected families. Hard work and increasing energy, laboring assiduously during the years of their studies, brought them to the goal of success, and what with the commencement address by Bishop Irving Johnson of the Episcopal diocese on the "Sine qua non" of a decent civilization in which he emphasized the qualities that must be possessed by those going out in the world to contribute their part, also the charge given them by Chancellor Heber Reece Harper after he had conferred the degrees and gave them their diploma of merit, our graduates will with stronger determination resolve to carry out such valuable instructions and be beacon lights in the educational world. We offer our best congratulations and wish our distinguished fellow-citizens God speed! and Good Luck! in the ONWARD MARCH OF LIFE. MRS.

MOUNTAIN LODGE OF ELKS IN MEMORIAL SERVICE Special dispensation having been given them by the Grand Exalted Ruler the head of the Elks fraternal society, the members of Mountain Lodge No. 39, I. B. P. O. E. of W. held their Memorial Services last week Sunday at the People's Presbyterian Church. A parade in the Elks regulation dress, headed by the Elks Band, started from Old Colony hall, and traversing the residential portion of the eastern section of the city created quite an attraction—the lady members in their purple and white uniform being conveyed in automobiles. The service at the church was said to have eclipsed all former ones. Dr. T. E. McClain being master of ceremonies. Dr. S. A. Huff and Mr. C. E. A. Starr were the eulogists, and the special address was made by the Rev. C. H. Uggams, pastor of the church. A large gathering listened attentively to the proceedings, including a paper from Mountain Temple No. 174—the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Order, and appropriate selections by the chair The reading of the names of the four deceased brothers for the year: Henry H. Halnes, Wade Harris, Rufus B. Bolden and Curtis M. Harris, and other formalities were gone through, while with a violin solo, played by Master Joseph Miller and accompanied by Mrs. Chinn, and the offering of appreciation for their attendance, the master of ceremonies in a very fitting manner completed another chapter in the work of Elkdom. NOTICE "Music hath charms to soothe the wounded soul." It is a positive fact that the music of the American Negro is the only Folk Song America has. There is existing in our city a choral organization which is making steady progress in the rendition of music by Negro composers, interspersed with those of older music masters. The organization is open for membership to all who are desirous of obtaining instruction, and help give to the community something worth while. Fee of 15c per meeting is required, thus placing in easy reach that which is so essential in all church work, expression, enunciation and phrasing. Meeting Monday evening, June 9, at New Hope Baptist Church. Mr. L. Willhams, president. Committee—Mrs. M. L. Howard, Mrs. R. D. Porter, Miss Johnson. Prof. S. J. Liggins, director. MRS. MARY BURDINE, RESPECTED PIONEER RESIDENT, LAID TO REST Returning to the sod, She laid life down, Believing in her God. Mrs. Mary BurDine, late pioneer resident of Denver, passed into the Great Beyond Friday, May 30, after an illness extending over a period of several months, and was laid to rest in the family plot at Fairmount cemetery, Sunday, June 1. She was the wife of Charles BurDine, recently retired clerk of the Denver postoffice, who had an enviable record of over forty years' continuous service and who was specially complimented by Postmaster General New in an autograph letter for his service to the government, and his steady rise in the department. Mrs. BurDine was a native of Cleveland, Ohio, who having felt the call of the West, desired to join her husband in helping towards its development, and played her part in her quiet, unassuming, unostentatious way during her nearly forty-five years of wedded life. The deceased won the respect of those who knew her and was held in much esteem by those with whom she came in contact. It can therefore be said of her that as a pioneer, she contributed her share to the progress of western life and to the growth of Denver. The funeral service was held last Sunday morning at 10 o'clock from the I. N. Rogers Chapel, 1544 Lincoln street, where, in the presence of a large assembly of both races, a very impressive ceremony was performed, Revs. Anglebarger and Henderson of the Seventh Day Adventist and Baptist Church respectively, made brief addresses emphasizing the Resurrection of the Dead which brought consolation to the grief-laden husband and other relatives, and Mrs. Henry Pinn sang favorite songs of the deceased, accompanied by Hewetson-Watson on the latest improved Estey organ installed in the Rogers Chapel. The flowers were rare and beautiful typifying the love and respect in which she was held by friends and relatives. Besides her devoted husband, she is survived by three sisters to whom the COLORADO STATESMAN extends its sincere sympathy, knowing they will find consolation in the fact that she remained on the scene of action for many years, and performed her part well.

THOS. CAMPBELL, President. O. L. LAWSON, Secretary. Republican Conventions of the Past THE WIGWAM, CHICAGO, 1860 CLEVELAND AUDITORIUM 1924 A Political Glance Backward BY JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN IN ALL the hundreds of thousands of columns that the newspapers of the country have printed about the 1924 Republican and Democratic National Conventions it is dollars to doughnuts that these interesting facts were never mentioned: The Constitution has nothing to say about presidential nominations. It makes no provision for nominating conventions. It is silent on the subject of party platforms. In fact, the Constitution ignores all three as completely as it does woman suffrage, national committees, keynoters, and broadcasting of proceedings. It is interesting to see how George Washington, the first president, was elected. There were no It is interesting to see how George Washington, the first president, was elected. There were no conventions, no platforms, no nominations. There was probably no need of nominations. There were two parties—Federalists and Anti-Federalists—but they were divided on the subject of the Constitution rather than on the choice for president. Presidential electors were chosen January 7, 1789. This was done by the legislatures in Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, South Carolina and Georgia; by popular vote in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. In New York a quarrel between the senate and house prevented action by the legislature. North Carolina and Rhode Island had not yet adopted the Constitution. In the electoral college each elector voted for two candidates for president, the one receiving the majority of the votes to be declared president and the one receiving the next largest number of votes to be declared vice president. Sixty-nine of seventy-three electors were present. Washington received 69 votes and John Adams 34. Washington and Adams were declared president and vice president. It was soon evident that by this method of voting the vice president elected was the leading opponent of the president. Under the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, which went into effect September 25, 1804, the electors vote for president and vice president separately and both must be of the same party. Washington was inaugurated April 30, 1789, in Federal Hall, Wall Street, New York. December 6, 1790, the seat of government was moved to Philadelphia. The campaign of 1800 saw the first nominations. They were made in congressional caucuses—Adams and Pinckney by the Federalists, Jefferson and Durr by the Republicans. A tie vote between Jefferson and Burr in the electoral college threw the election into the house, which chose the former president and the latter vice president. The first convention marked the campaign of 1812. The Federalists nominated Clinton, first by caucus of New York state legislators at Albany and then formally by convention in New York. Madison, the winning candidate, was nominated by congressional caucus of the Republicans. It was not until 1822 that the nominating convention again appeared and then for the first time all the candidates were nominated by conventions held in Baltimore—the Anti-Masonic (Wirt), National Republican or Whig (Clay) and National Democratic (Jackson, renominated). The Republican Convention put forth ten resolutions, constituting the first convention platform ever issued. The Anti-Masonic Convention issued an address to the public, but adopted no platform. The National Republican Convention of 1856 was the first convention of the present-day Republican party. It was a great year for conventions, no less than five being held. They are interesting and important, as preliminary to the election of Lincoln in 1860. The American (Know-Nothing) Convention, with a platform of "America for Americans," met in February in Philadelphia. There were 227 delegates from 27 states. They nominated former President Fillmore (1849-53). A rump Know-Nothing Convention nominated Fremont. The Democratic Convention met June 2-6 in Cincinnati and nominated Buchanan. The platform denounced Know-Nothingism, warned the country that continued interference by congress with slavery and armed resistance to law as to fugitive slaves would end in civil war and disunion and upheld the right of every state seeking admission to the Union to bar or permit slavery. The Whig Convention met in September in Baltimore and ratified the Know-Nothing nomination of Fillmore. This first Republican Convention met June 17 in Philadelphia under the chairmanship of former Congressman Henry S. Lane (Ind.). By formal ballot it unanimously nominated Fremont and Dayton. On the informal ballot for vice president Abraham Lincoln received 110 votes, as against 259 for Dayton. The Republican platform opposed the repeal of the Missouri Compromise of 1820 in re- gard to slavery; favored admitting Kansas as a free state, denied the right of congress to give legal existence to slavery; declared the right of congress to prohibit polygamy; urged a railroad to the Pacific, and upheld "liberty of conscience and equality of rights among citizens." The popular vote on these issues was: Buchanan, 1,927,905; Fremont, 1,391,787; Fillmore, 934-816. Of the 296 electoral votes, 174 were cast for Buchanan, 114 for Fremont and 8 for Fillmore. During the administration of Buchanan history bearing on the slavery issue was made rapidly. Significant events were: The Dred Scott decision of the United States Supreme court that no negro, free or slave, was a citizen, with its implication that the Missouri Compromise had always been unconstitutional in its discrimination against slavery; the farcical vote in Kansas on the Lecompton pro-slavery state constitution; the celebrated "Freeport Debates" of 1858 between Lincoln and Douglas in the Illinois senatorial campaign, in which Lincoln forced Douglas to uphold the doctrine of "popular sovereignty," thus bringing about his own election to the presidency and the defeat of Douglas in 1860; the John Brown raid on Harper's Ferry in Virginia in 1859. The result of the Freeport Debates" as Lincoln had foreseen, was the splitting up of the Democratic Convention in April, 1860, at Charleston, S.C., by the withdrawal of Chairman Cushing and many Southern Democrats. The Charleston Convention nominated Douglas. The seceding delegates held a rump Democratic Convention in Baltimore and nominated Breckenridge. The platforms of both conventions reinforced that of 1856. The Second National Republican Convention met in The Wigwam, Chicago, May 16-18, under the chairmanship of ex-Congressman George Ashmun of Massachusetts. There were three ballots for the presidential nomination. The result of the first was: U. S. Senator William H. Seward of New York, 173; Abraham Lincoln, 102; U. S. Senator Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania, 50; ex-Governor Salmon P. Chase of Ohio, 49; ex-Congressman Edward Bates of Missouri, 48; Gen. William L. Dayton of New Jersey, 14; U. S. Supreme Court Justice John McLean of Ohio, 12, and U. S. Senator Jacob Collamer of Vermont, 10. On the second ballot Seward got 184 and Lincoln 181. During the third ballot—when Seward had fallen to 180 and Lincoln had risen to 231—William M. Evarts, chairman of the New York delegation, moved that the nomination of Lincoln be made unanimous. The 465 delegates so voted. The nomination for vice president went on the second ballot to U. S. Senator Hannibal Hamlin of Maine. The platform denounced the Lecompton constitution (Kansas); denounced slavery and denied the right of congress to legalize it; called for the admission of Kansas, and spoke for a tariff for revenue and to protect industrial development. The popular vote of the election of 1860 was: Lincoln, 1,866,352; Douglas, 1,375,157; Breckenridge, 845,763; Bell (Union) 589,581. Of the 303 electoral votes 180 were cast for Lincoln; 72 for Breckenridge; 39 for Bell, and 12 for Douglas. The election and inauguration of Lincoln brought the slavery issue to a head. The Civil war began with the fall of Fort Sumter, April 13, 1860. The Republican Convention of 1843 met in Baltimore and unanimously renominated Lincoln on the first ballot. Andrew Johnson of Tennessee was nominated for vice president. Lincoln got 2,216,007 votes and McClellan, the Democratic candidate, 1,808,725. In this election the following states did not vote: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. Louisiana and Tennessee held elections and were carried for Lincoln, but their vote was not recognized. Lincoln was assassinated April 14, 1865. Johnson thereupon became president. He was impeached in 1868 and escaped by a vote of 35 to 19, one vote short of the necessary two-thirds for a conviction. Chicago was the scene of the Republican Convention of 1808, which nominated Grant and Colfax. They won over the Democratic nominees, Seymour and Blair. The Republican Convention of 1872 met in Philadelphia, renominated Grant and replaced Colfax with Wilson. They won over Greeley and Brown, nominees of a Liberal Republican Convention held in Cincinnati and endorsed by the Democrats in their Baltimore Convention. Greeley died Nov. 29; his electoral vote was cast mostly for Hendricks of Indiana. The year 1870 saw the contested election between Hayes and Tilden. It was also a great year for conventions. The American National Convention at Pittsburgh nominated Walker of Illinois; the platform demanded prohibition, Sunday observance, and direct presidential elections. The Greenback Convention at Indianapolis nominated Peter Cooper of New York. The Prohibition Reform Convention at Cleveland, Ohio, nominated Smith of Kentucky, on a platform much similar to that of the Pittsburgh Convention. The Democratic Convention at St. Louis nominated Gov. Samuel J. Tilden of New York. The Republican Convention met in Cincinnati and on the seventh ballot nominated ex-Gov. Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio over Congressman James G. Blaine of Maine, his close competitor. It was then that Blaine, "The Plumed Knight," is reported to have said: "I am the Henry Clay of the Republican party." Like Clay he was twice defeated for the nomination in years when his party won; when nominated, he was defeated. The election was close and the returns were contested. Congress appointed an electoral commission. Congress in joint session March 2, 1877, declared Hayes and Wheeler elected over Tilden and Hendricks by an electoral vote of 185 to 184. In the Republican Convention of 1880 at Chicago the adherents of ex-President Grant prolonged the contest until the thirty-sixth ballot, when the field combined on Garfield, who got 399 votes to 306 for Grant, Blaine was again a prominent candidate. In the platform the "Solid South" was called a menace, Garfield was assassinated and Arthur became president September 19, 1881. Blaine was nominated over Arthur at the Republican Convention of 1884. The platform demanded a protective tariff; a gold money standard; federal regulation of transportation rates; civil service reform, and a merchant marine. It was Rev. Dr. Burchard, hending a delegation of ministers to congratulate Blaine, who used the phrase, "rum, Romanism and rebellion," held largely responsible for Blaine's defeat by Cleveland. The year 1888 saw the nomination of Harrison at Chicago by the Republicans and his victory over Cleveland. Harrison was renominated at Minneapolis in 1892 and beaten by Cleveland. McKinley was nominated by the Republicans in 1896 at St. Louis and was successful over Bryan, who had been nominated by the Democrats at Chicago in the excitement following his famous "Cross of Gold" speech. McKinley was renominated in 1900 at Philadelphia, with Gov. Theodore Roosevelt for running mate. President McKinley was shot and Roosevelt became president September 14, 1901. Roosevelt was unanimously nominated by the Republicans at Chicago in 1904. William H. Taft and James S. Sherman were the Republican nominees in 1908 at Chicago; they won over Bryan and Kern. The year 1912 saw the split between Taft and Roosevelt which led to the election of Wilson. The Republican Convention met in June at Chicago and renominated Taft. The Progressive (Republican) Convention met in August at Chicago and nominated Roosevelt and Johnson. Chicago saw two Republican Conventions again in 1916. This time they were in session at the same time. The Progressive (Republican) Convention failed to get the Republican Convention to agree on joint nominations and June 10 nominated Roosevelt four minutes before the Republican Convention nominated Hughes. Roosevelt, June 26, declined to run and advised concentrating on Hughes. Wilson had been renominated at St. Louis. The campaign was carried on while the World war raged in Europe. Women delegates and alternates to the number of 140 were in attendance at the Chicago Republican Convention of 1920 which nominated Warren G. Harding over Wood, Lowden and Johnson on the tenth ballot, and Gov. Calvyn Coolidge of Massachusetts for vice president on the first ballot. The platform denounced the Wilson administration and the League of Nations. The platform of the Democratic Convention, which at San Francisco nominated Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio over McAdoo, Palmer and Smith, indorsed the Wilson administration and the League of Nations. The popular vote was: Harding and Coolidge, 16,152,200; Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt, 9,147,353. Of the 531 electoral votes 404 were cast for Harding and Coolidge and 127 for Cox and Roosevelt. Harding died August 2 at San Francisco and Coolidge thereon became president. The Cleveland Convention is thus the eighteenth of the present-day Republican party. Ten have been held in Chicago, three in Philadelphia and one each in Baltimore, Cincinnati, Minneapolis and St. Louis. It would be interesting could the framers of the Constitution come back and see what modern politics has developed out of their simple directions for electing the president of the United States.

They have earned a joyous two months in the heart of summer and should spend most of the time out of doors. Mothers have been making ready vacation outfits for their younglings and greater numbers of them than ever are arranging to send their growing girls to summer camps. Where this is not feasible, outdooring is encouraged by providing the proper clothes for sports and by making occasions that require roughling it a bit. A good, all-round sports outfit for THE NEW YORK TIMES THE FILM OF "THE LADY OF THE RING" BY JOHN BURTON, AUTOGRAPHED BY JOHN BURTON, AUTOGRAPHED BY JOHN BURTON. THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY a junior, as shown in the picture, is ideal for hiking, camping, touring and all sorts of out-dooring. It has roomy knickers, gathered into bands that fasten with buttons just below the knees. They are worn with a practical and slightly mildy blouse of the same material, which is provided with sufficiently capacious pockets and toned up by smart finishing touches. For ordinary wear gingham remains the corner stone of the younger girls' summer outfit. Many pretty frocks are made of the checked, plaid and plain ginghams, in which the checked or plaid patterns are combined with plain gingham for everyday dresses. For dress-up frocks, voile appears to have outdistanced its several rivals but taffeta silk, crepe de chine.

A star in the mil THE FASHION OF THE 1920S 10 1 GEMS OF SUMMER MILLINERY printed silks and georgette are always among those present, in the showings of party frocks. Many events make up the sum of joys that fill the long vacation, and with a sports suit to begin with and a party frock to finish with, little Miss Early-teens is outfitted to spend a perfect summer. In midsummer, millinery reaches the zenith of its loveliness. It comes into full bloom—and passes all too soon, when, under compulsion, and reluctantly, it is replaced with more stald and simple headwear --- that paves the way for autumn. But, while it lasts, the very best of its offerings are all within the choice of the younger matrons. They are privileged to go as far as they like in the direction of intricate and elaborate hats, or to affect simplicity, and "younger matrons" must be construed to include all those who have not yet graduated into the elderly class. Nothing seems to belong more fully to matrons' millinery than fine lace and this group of hats leads off with a bonnet-like affair of fine milan in black, with small, conventional flowers in varied colors, set about the brim and crown. They are partially velled 3 in fine black chantilly lace, which falls over the brim edge and is extended into a long scarf. Nothing was ever more flattering than lace about the face and throat. The hat at the left achieves the same softening lines about the brim edge by a little curtain of mailnails. This model is made of crepe, overlaid with braid embroidery and trimmed with an exquisite fan of burnt goose. Just below it a hair-braid poke shape reveals strap extensions at the sides that are turned up and fastened to the crown. Bunches of silk wheat and foliage are thrust through these straps and the upper brim is overlaid with georgette crepe. This is a lovely model in powder blue and would be effective in other colors. A star in the millinery firmament THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY shines in the medallion at the bot tom of the group. It is a black and white hat, of soft, brilliant straw with intricate and spirited brim lines. One-half of the crown is covered with small white blossoms and the brim facing is of white braid. Nearly every matron knows that hats with narrow brims and trimming across the back are dignified and sure to be becoming. One of these in milan with wide molre ribbon trimming brings this little millinery story to a happy ending. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (©, 1924, Western Newspaper Union.)
