The public schools are still the center of attraction and the fruitful field of comment by the people of this city and the press. The Washington Evening Star, the most conservative paper in the country, is opposing the actions of Superintendent Chancellor of the public schools in a very radical manner. It charges that Dr. Chancellor has been too hasty in his actions; that he has violated the letter and spirit of the law under which this new regime came into being; and it might have added that it has enabled certain of the officials to allow the college spirit to run mad. To be an Amherst man or an Oberlin man is to be among the chosen few. But with all the wisdom which Dr. Chancellor brought with him into the schools, he need not expect to effect any great reforms, for there are those in power who have friends to reward and enemies to punish; and it seems to us that but little has been done since this new board has been in but place "our" friends and put down "our" enemies. We sincerely hope, now that the enemies have been put down and "our" friends rewarded, that the children, for whose good and uplift the schools were established, will come into their own. We are now ready to concede that Dr. Washington has practically captured the school system. With Mrs. DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, SEPT. 21, 1906. Terrell of the board of education, Mr. Weatherless, director of the department of chemistry and physics; Mr. Glenn, head of the department of languages; Mr. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, supervising principal, and with the Washington Bee, with which the brilliant and versatile L. M. Hershaw has been so long identified, advocating all that Mr. Washington is now doing and saying, we can not see what more is to be desired. To Mrs. Terrell it seemed absurd that this matter should be suggested, but we have but to look at the facts and we have our case in hand. But be that as it may, the Press Bureau only desires to see justice done and the interests of the children made the first thought, the primary object of all that is done; for by this light the feet of the future are to be guided, and it is well for those in authority to place the little feet in the paths of fairness and truth, keeping from their little eyes and minds the trickery and cunning that is too often shown in the effort to reward friends and punish enemies. Mr. William L. Houston, our candidate for the grand mastership of the Odd Fellows of America, is being opposed by Mr. Jones of Mississippi, whose battle cry is that the order should have a southern man at its head; to this we answer that William L. Houston is a Kentuckian by Stand Pat! Stand Pat! State Historian & Natural History Society STATES COLORADO, FRIDAY, SEPT. 21, 1906. Stand A half dozen different movements looking toward an independent stand upon the part of colored voters in this present campaign are in progress. Some are clearly the outgrowth of righteous indignation upon the part of colored voters because the Republican party has not treated them fairly and are therefore deserving of attention. Honest effort to improve the conditions of the race are always worthy of notice. While we must agree with these movements in that nothing is to be accomplished by sitting down and waiting, yet it is well known that the Republican state organization, and thereby the local organizations, have been thrown into confusion by the withdrawal of the nominee from the ticket. Every effort now is being directed toward naming a successor. Possibly by the time this article is read, the choice will already be known. It birth and at present resides in the District of Columbia, which was carved out of two southern states. But while he claims this, as he should, he believes that the order has no limits of latitude and longitude, and if he is made the grand master of the order, he will not be the grand master of the South, but the grand master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America, whose fraternal ties go out to all mankind. In his effort to attain unto this high place among his brothers, he invites all those who believe in fraternal ties to join with him and give him the place, as we believe by virtue of his life and work in the order, to which he is entitled. Next month the lines are to be drawn and the battle is to be fought out, and our wish is that the good of the order be the first and highest consideration, to conserve which, in this crisis, William L. Houston, the ideal man and brother, should be placed at its head. Mr. F. G. Wells, an Englishman, has a very interesting article in the last NO. 6 is therefore impossible just now to approach the party with which we have been affiliated and learn through its representatives what it has planned for us now that the conventions are past. To commit ourselves to any of the independent movements planned might be to regret it afterwards and therefore we say "Stand pat." Our grievance is known. The amount of manhood and tenacity of purpose that we have is already estimated by the leadership of our own, as well as other parties. If we are counted worth while by Republicans, and we are necessary to success, it is sufficient to allow the governorship muddle to be settled and then make demands. If other organizations want us, we may rest assured that their bid will be the higher for our refraining from seeking them. Stand pat. issue of Harper's Weekly. He deals at length with the problem, and, like most white men, without really understanding the things about which he writes, taking the same position on the very vital question in our race problem of to-day that was taken in the argument of Thomas Dixon on Booker T. Washington. Like most white men, he thinks that it is best for the Negroes of this country to adopt the Tolstoyan method of non-resistance, demanding nothing, but retreating with a vengeance. To offset this, he speaks of the injustices to the black man, the superior station given the anarchistic hordes of southern Italy and the Mafia gangs from other parts of Europe over those given the Negroes of our country. It would have been well for him to have mentioned the future, pointed out, as we hope he will do, in some future article, the way out of this problem. At some future time he is to continue this discussion, we hope, with beneficent results. Continued on page 9 THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

They might have did better if? Rev. F. P. Greenlee presided at the last official board of the church Monday evening.

He goes to the annual conference with a grand report and hope to materially establish the real worth of Allen's A. M. E. church and the people of Cheyenne. Mrs. E. T. Landor entertained charmingly at dinner last Sunday evening at 5 o'clock. The decorations were exceeding beautiful. In the parlor tall vases filled with pink and white sweet peas harmonized with the dainty lunch cloths which were embroidered in pink.

Five well prepared and delicious courses were served, and those who enjoyed the hospitality of the hostess were Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Smith. Mrs. R. L.

Laura Hain Friswell, in her book, tells this amusing anecdote of Wil liam E. Gladstone. Miss Friswell had been to the wedding of Sir Edward and Lady Ermyntrude Malet, and was trying hard to get out of the erush “LT heard a voice saying: ‘It’s 4 o'clock, it’s 4 o'clock! We shall be late for the house, Harcourt; we must get out.’ The speaker was just at the back of me and pushing dreadfully; but I, grasping my friend's arm, stood back; then I turned my head and saw Gladstone and Sir William Harcourt “What do you mean by this ungen tlemanly behavior?’ I asked indignant ly. ‘We are late for the house, mad am,’ returned the ‘grand old man.’ ‘And is that any reason why we should be killed by those horses? If you were men you would keep the crowd back.’ “She's right there,’ whispered Har. court; ‘we must keep the crowd lack Cbeg your pardon, madam.’ Gladstone looked very cross, but did as he was requested, and muttered something which I took for an apology. They kept back the crowd.” If you want long and beautiful hair If you want your hair tcstop fall ing at once, if you want your hair to lookgnatural and finffy, if you want your scalp cured of all diseases go to 9 Mme.

The chief industry of Bethlehem of Judea, writes Marion Harland in Lippincott's, is that of the mother-of-pearl workers. The shells are brought from the Red sea, and in the hands of native artisans are polished and carved, the larger into elaborate designs; the smaller are cut up for rosaries and crosses. The work is all done by hand, and the methods are amazingly primitive to a spectator from the home of steam and electric power. But the results are extraordinary. The largest shell we saw was carved in scenes from the birth of Christ, the Agony in the Garden, and the Crucifixion, and had the general effect of delicate frostwork. Under the magnifying glass every detail was seen to be perfect in outline and finish. It was executed to order for a wealthy American, and was to cost $160. About 150 people make a living by this industry, which is 500 years old. In the shops the workmen sit upon the floor, their benches in front of them; the air is full of whitish dust, and the light, admitted by the single window and the open door, so dim that the exquisite tracery of the wrought shells is a mystery even before the visitor notes how few, simple and crude are the instruments employed. Up-to-Date Graduation. The introduction of the simple life in the commencement exercises at the Kansas Manual Training Normal School is heralded as a unique event. For the first time in the history of the state students graduated in work blouses and jumpers, and the graduates, instead of delivering flowery orations, gave public demonstration in cooking and woodwork.

Olaus Magnus, bishop of Upsala, tells how a certain noble Englishman saw, on Aug. 27, 1532, "a dead beast of vast magnitude" which had been cast up on the shore at Teignmouth. It was ninety feet long and twenty-five feet in thickness, and evidently a whale from the mention of its blowholes, and the fact that instead of teeth "there grew to his palate above 1,000 plates of horn, hairy on one side." The noble Englishman noted that it had "three bellies like vast caves, and thirty throats, whereof five were very great." On Aug. 28, 1736, an Englishman with business instincts saw two flights of birds collide with such force near Preston that 180 of them fell to earth. He picked them up and sold them in Preston market forthwith. Maid and the Dispensary. It is commonly supposed that the persons who use the public dispensaries cannot afford to pay a doctor. If the dispensary statistics are large then (it is thought) the number out of work is very great. This is not a fair inference. A large number of the patrons of dispensaries are poor, but a large number are not. At Johns Hopkins hospital a story is told of a woman, who, after being treated, lingered in the dispensary. "Is there anything further, madam?" a young doctor asked. "Oh, no; I'm just waiting till they've treated my maid."—The World's Work.

The inhabitants of Aboukir, near Alexandria, were recently treated to a wonderful spectacle. It became necessary to destroy some sixteen tons of powerful dynamite, and the explosives sufficient to blow up a town-were taken to sea and placed below the water. Something like a submarine earthquake followed the explosion, which was heard for miles around. A waterspout shot into the air to a height of 2,000 feet, and fell back in drizzling spray. Simultaneously the sea became a whirlpool of seething water, as if agitated by a hurricane. Heedlessness a Handicap. Heedlessness, quite as much as lack of mentality, is responsible for errors. It is the observation of men who are in the work of directing people at large that more than half of the inquirers expect to ask directions of one or more other persons before they reach their desired place.

One Child in Five at Work in Early Years. "Field and Stream" notes that one child in five in this country spends the years between the ages of ten to fifteen at work in coal mines, factories or similar places. Education is at a standstill; there is no recreation in field or forest; nothing to develop mind or character, everything, on the contrary, to hinder or distort their growth. At fifteen the unhappy little creatures, dwarfed in every direction, pass into circulation. In a few years our citizens' roll will be one-fifth made up of such. In his installation address President Roosevelt said many fine things about our duty and our dawning destiny to lead the world. Make any allowance you judge fit for possible over-statement in the figures we quote, the picture will not be greatly relieved. For there is the other and worse side of it that child labor is one, and only one, product of the greed and indifference of those who are knowingly operative in causing this stupendous piece of cruelty. They are a worse blot on the roll than the children, become adults, will be. In what are we to lead the world? Humanity of conduct? Uselfish disregard for gain? How long does a nation's public policy remain in advance of its average private standard. These children are slaves who derive no shadow of benefit, nothing but harm, from their slavery. Morally and mentally dwarfed men and women, they are prematurely fathers and mothers whose children register and reflect the moral and mental status of their parents. We once held these "truths to be self-evidence: that all men are endowed by their Cretor with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." But perhaps the signers of the Declaration of Independence were not thinking of children in those momentous days!—New Century Path. The Other Ones. "Come, now," said mamma, who had taken the children for a walk through the Zoo, "let's go home and see papa." "Oh, no," protested Elsie, "let's see these other monkeys first."—Philadelphia Ledgur.

On the first consignment of seidlits powders to the Maharajah of Singpur that monarch was deeply interested in the accounts of the refreshing box. A box was brought to the potentate in full court, and the interpreter explained to his majesty how it should be used. Into a goblet he put the twelve blue papers, and, having added water, the king drank it off. This was the alkali, and the Royal countenance expressed no sign of satisfaction. It was then explained that in the combination of the two powders lay the luxury, and the twelve white powders were quickly dissolved in water, and as eagerly swallowed by his majesty. With a shriek that will be remembered while Singpur lasts the monarch rose, stared, exploded, and, in his full agonies, screamed: "Hold me down!" Then, rushing from the throne, fell prostrate on the floor. There he lay during the long-continued effervescence of the compound, groaning as surely monarch never groaned before, and believing himself in the agonies of death—a melancholy and humiliating proof that kings are mortal English Post Office Savings Banks There are in England 15,000 post office savings banks.

No doubt in the remoter districts na- tives often report the deaths of their relatives as having been due to snake bite in order to avold the troublesome inquiries which they detest; and all evidence having been carefully de- etroyed, it is impossible to arrive at the truth. Occasionally, too, a report ed death from this cause is in reality a case of murder. But after making all deductions the number of persons killed every year bh, snakes is enormous. This Is eaused partly by the fanatical dislike which the ordinary native has for killing, or even interfering with, eny wild creature, and partly by the common habit of going about with feet and legs bare. I have myself seen a mative soldier walk boldly into a patch of grass in my compound to drive out a cobra which had been seen to glide Into it. The fact that his legs were dare to the knee did not cause him the slightest hesitation. Fortunately be did not meet the snake, says a writ: er in the Pall Mall Gasette. It {s commonly reported, though with what truth I do not know, that Bwatives cometimes adopt a particular @tabdolical aud ingesious method of getting rid of an enemy, in such wise that the death shall te correctly at- tributed to snake-bite. A umal! cobra, or a kalait—e snake quite as venom. ous—is caught uninjured, snd a piece of string is fastened to its tail. The @tring is then run through the hollow stem of a bamboo just large enough to contain the body of the snake, and by it the creature is dragged, tai! first, inside the cane. Great care Is taken not to injure the repzile in any way. Armed with this abominnble weap- on the murderer waits for a suitable Opportunity for using it. Nothing Is easier than to approach the hut of his intended victim when he is asleep, end creeping through the open door- way to bring the end of the bamboo into contact with some part of his body. The snake, enraged and terri- fled by the treatment which ‘t hns re- celved, bites as soon as its head touches the man. If the victim is sleeping soundly he is probably not even awakened by the slight puncture of the cobra’s needle-like fangs. He passes insensibly into death. The next day his body is discovered, with all the unmistakable symptoms of snake poisoning; and save through an accident, it is not even suspected that a crime has been committed. The mur. Gerer, having liberated the snake and destroyed the bamboo, fs perfectly safe. Ben if suspicion fails upon him it is impossible to prove his guilt. Snake stories, more or lees incredible, abound. The following, which was told to me on such authority that | am forced to believe it, is a fair speci- men: A cobra was discovered in the compound or garden surrounding aa Officer's bungalow, and the entire male portion of the household turned out to destroy it. The snake was driv. ea from one hiding place to anotber @a at iASt 1t toOK refuge In a narrow culvert. All sorts of expedients were tried to drive it out. Shots were fired through the pipe and bundles of burn- ing grass were thrust {nto it, without effect. Finally the culvert was dug up and the snake was found and killed. It was a large and handsome one end therefore the skin was taken off and hung upon a nail driven into the wall of the veranda outside the bunga low. The next morning the owner of the house was astonished by finding on the ground beneath it a second cobra skin. The natives, one and all, declared that the mate of the dead snake had come along during the night and shed its skin there through grief at its loss. This explanation being considered in- credible, it was supposed that some one had indulged in a rather pointless practical joke, though the circum- stances of the case made it difficult to see how this could have been pos- sible. But whatever might be the true explanation, there were the two ‘skins Compromise Verdict. In speaking of the Rumorous side of legal proceedings, a New York law- yer tells of an extraordinary verdict rendered by a jury in Arkansas. The jury had gone out to deliberate upon the question whether the defendant an inflicted damages upon the prop erty of his neighbors by permitting bis cattle to roam at will. The jurors had a “deadlock,” and, according to one of their number, {t was soon perceived that they would bever agree. Consequently, it seemed ‘o them a good idea to effect a com- omiee; oo they brought in this ver- fict: “We, the jury, find the defendant almost guilty."—Harper’s Weekly. DEPARTURE OF THE DEPARTED. a Re ee Se ee ee) ee ment Too Literally. In many rural districts there {s usu- ally one accommodating man, who is called upon, gratuitously, too, to shave when necessary, those who depart this life. The writer remembers this cus- tom as in vogue at Plymouth, Me. a emall town off the railway in Penot scot county, and a gentleman by the name of Blanchard was usually sought at such times, One day an old gentleman had passed away and Mr. Blanchard was sent for; the messenger, being in a burry himself, thought the occasion demanded more signs of activity on Mr. Blanchard's part, and expressed his mind to that effect to which he received the reply: “Well, he can wait, can’t he?” Very soon, however, the shaving kit was gathered up and a start for the work was made, When the house was reached the daughter of the departed one, thinking the call was made to in quire her father’s condition, came to the door and sald: “Well, father has gone.” “Gone! Where in h—l has he gore? I came over to shave him,” re plied Mr. Blanchard.—Boston Herald. PICTURED AN ORDINARY GIRL. Woman Writer Explains From What Type She Drew Heroine.

Ed. Myors has gone to Raton, New Mexico. Miss Virginia Peterson spent Sunday in Pueblo. W. H. Harris, who came to the city from Chicago six years ago for his health, and who has made a valiant fight against the ravages of tuberculosis, died Tuesday at his home. He was buried Thursday afternoon from Zion Baptist church, Rev. Ford officiating, and Q. J. Gilmore having charge of the remains. He was forty-one years of age and leaves a wife and son to mourn his death. The interment was at Fairmount. RUBBERS! RUBBERS!

WE SHIP ON APPROVAL without a cent deposit, Pay the Freight and allow 10 Days Free Trial and make other liberal terms which no other house in the world will do. You will learn everything and get much valuable information by simply writing us a postal. We need a Rider Agent in every town and can offer an opportunity to make money to suitable young men who apply at once. DESCRIPTION: Made in all sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $8.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.80 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented. We will allow a cash discount of 5 per cent (thereby making the price $4.55 per pair) if you send FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement. We will also send one nickel plated brass hand pump and two Sampson metal puncture closers on full paid orders (these metal puncture closers to be used in case of intentional knife cuts or heavy gashes). Tires to be returned at OUR expense if for any reason they are not satisfactory on examination. We are perfectly reliable and money sent to us is as safe as in a bank. Ask your Postmaster, Banker, Express or Freight Agent or the Editor of this paper about us. If you order a pair of these tires, you will find that they will ride easier, run faster, wear better, last longer and look finer than any tire you have ever used or seen at any price. We know that you will be so well pleased that when you want a bicycle you will give us your order. We want you to send us a small trial order at once, hence this remarkable tire offer. OOASTER-BRAKES, built-up-wheels, saddles, pedals, parts and repairs, and everything in the bicycle line are sold by us at half the usual prices charged by dealers and repair men. Write for our big SUNDRY catalogue. DO NOT WAIT but write us a postal today. DO NOT THINK OF BUYING a bicycle or a pair of tires from anyone until you know the new and wonderful offers we are making.

The after-dinner orator is born, not made; the artificial product takes hints and copies in vain. All agree, however, that the unexpected "goes" best. Lord Chancellor Campbell knew this when at dinner of authors he suddenly rose, asked that glasses might be charged, and submitted "Napoleon." There were cries of dissent, but Campbell went on undisturbed: "We as authors must feel that the name of Napoleon should he held in honor, for let us never forget that he once shot a publisher." That toast was drunk with enthusiasm.—Black and White. Woman Financier. She entered a large department store to buy a yard of silk, which the clerk told her would cost her 75 cents. Her purchase left a remnant of one and one-half yards. The clerk suggested that she buy the remnant. "What will you take for it?" asked the woman. "Fifty cents, madam," replied the clerk. "Well, I'll take it, but you can keep the yard you've just torn off." The clerk was staggered for a moment, but appreciating the humor of the proposal made the exchange. Making Flowers Pay.

He smiled a smile of glee intense And then he cleared his throat. And warbled in an idle strain A small impromptu lay; He sang it o'er and o'er again Throughout the summer day: "I do not own a cent of stock In any big concern. I haven't any city blocks Which in a night might burn. I pay no life insurance bill, Ard so you must agree. This world that uses others ill Is pretty good to me." -Washington Star Eternal Problem. Having a girl on your mind is what makes the others in the office wonder what the boss keeps you here for anyhow, but you can't get promoted so as to marry her because you can't think business and get ahead while thinking about her; and you can't stop thinking about her, so you might as well go it like all get out and get her, because it is a hell when you have them, and it is another when you haven't.—New York Times.

Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow; it strayed away one summer day where lambs should never go. Then Mary sat her down and tears streamed slowly from her eyes; she never found the lamb because she did not advertise. And Mary had a brother John, who kept a village store; he sat down and smoked his pipe and watched the open door. And as the people passed along and did not stop to buy, John still sat down and smoked his pipe and blinked his sleepy eye. Special Excursions to City of Mexico And so the brokers seized his stock, but still he lingered near, and Mary came to drop with him a sympathetic tear.

On one of the old turnpikes yet remaining in the South a big touring car had twice rushed through the gate without paying toll. The third time they made the attempt the negro tollman shut his gate, and brought them to a stand. With indignation the half-dozen occupants of the car declared they were entitled to ride free. "Look at your own board," said the spokesman. "It says, 'Every carriage, cart or wagon drawn by one beast, 2 cents' every additional beast, 2 cents.' We're not drawn by any beast at all." "No; but here's where ye come in, sah," replied the darky, pointing to another clause, as follows: 'Every half-dozen hogs, 4 cents.' An' three times four is twelve," he added.

PROMOTES THE GROWTH OF THE HAIR PREVENTS IT FROM SPLITTING AND BREAKING OFF The twelve cents was paid.—Harper's Weekly. Give Russia the Credit. It is a singular fact that Russia is the country which first gave the greatest encouragement to the woman doctor. The Woman's Medical Institute in St. Petersburg, on its foundation, was hailed as the only place in the world where a woman could take out medical degrees. But, in 1886 Minister Warrowsky closed it. Now it has suddenly come to life again, the czar has given it an endowment, and its students have all the privileges hitherto accorded men. Why and wherefore? Because the war is taking all the men doctors, and if their places are not filled the unhappy empire is at the mercy of any epidemic that may come along. Not New or Experimental, but an Old, Reliable Preparation of Proven Merit. Nelson's Hair Dressing is an ideal Hair Pomade. It contains no strong, dangerous chemicals that can in any way injure the hair. You can use it just as long as you wish, or stop it any time without any bad effects. It does not affect the color of the hair. Nelson's Hair Dressing softens harsh, stubborn, refractory hair, prevents it from becoming dry and brittle, and enables you to do it up in any style consistent with its length, at the same time giving it that rich, glossy look so much desired. Tearful Milk. A lady was complaining to her dairy man some time ago about the quality of his milk. "Short o' grass feed mum—short o' grass feed this time o year," said the jocular milkman "Bless you, them cows o' mine are just as sorry about it as I am. I often stands and watches 'em cryin'—regular cryin', mum—because they feel a how their milk don't do 'em credit You don't believe it?" As a Hair Grower we consider Nolson's Hair Dressing the equal of anything made. It supplies the needed oil directly to the roots of the hair, softens and invigorates the scalp, thereby removing dandruff and promoting the growth of the hair. Stops the hair from falling out, breaking off and splitting at the ends, which is nearly always due to lack of natural oil in the hair. Nolson's Hair Dressing is an excellent remedy for all kinds of Scalp Diseases such as Tetter, Itching and Scaling of the Scalp, Dandruff, &c. Nolson's Hair Dressing is delightfully perfumed; put up in handsome 4-ounce square tin boxes (like one shown in cut), and sold everywhere by druggists and agents at 25 cents a box. If you cannot find it in your town, send us 30 cents in stamps and we will mail you a full size box, postage paid.

Our Phone is Main 7905 A Dollar in Your Pocket. The promoter is abroad again. This time it is the Automatic Telephone Company with an offer of service in exchange for a franchise—we wish we could say that and stop—and $'s much per month. The Statesman is not a pet of the old company. We believe that competition is the life of trade, but we don't believe it at cash prices. The plea of the franchise canvasser that "your name means a dime to me" is ingenuous and one is led to sign up despite his better judgment. But if perchance Denver grants a new franchise for telephone service and every business man has to put in a second 'phone, it will be rather costly sympathy. The private user who tries a new telephone will be barred from talking to all those of his friends who have phones now, for, dear reader, don't think for a minute that the Colorado Telephone Company will abandon the field to the newcomer. No, nor don't delude yourself that in the rate war that might start, you will have any benefit, for Rockefeller never lowers oil to crush an opponent, but you pay 25 cents a gallon for twice as long as it was down. The entry of a new railroad means new territory tributary to this city. But a new telephone company means a division of business with increased cost. All those who try the new system have not the excuse that it's cheaper, for service can now be secured at $1.50 per month, which is less than the rate offered by the Automatic company. For five years, by newspaper advertising, street car placards and, most of all, by good service, the Colorado Telephone Company has tried to get new business and make its usefulness to the community greater. Numbers used to run only into the 4,000's. Now they are up in the 8,000's. The population has not doubled in the meanwhile, so it is evident that there has been an honest effort made to cover the field. Of course central is sometimes "sassy," lightning strikes the wires and puts your phone out of commission just when you need it, but humanity is prone to err and the automatic phone is a past grand master of puzzles to even the initiated, and when common --- THE STATESMAN.

We call your attention to this matter more to set you to thinking, and to get you to view your own financial interest, than to give a dissertation on telephones. But we cannot refrain from reminding you that when so much time is wasted and so many mistakes made with an intelligent and expert operator to help out, a dumb automatic phone, with levers galore to pull, and no one to tell whether the phone is out of order, the party out or the other phone wrong, when on answer comes, would make one dizzy. Good service is hard to obtain. Denver is justly proud of its company. The investment of local money in the corporation makes its success the more keenly appreciated. Yet were there any substantial gain for the public, we would say, try the Automatic Telephone Company. But with both convenience and money on the side of the old company, the new should find a cold reception. September 19th and 20th at Elbert.

Brown of Bennettsville, S. C., says: "For years, my wife suffered intensely from dyspepsia, complicated with a torpid liver, until she lost her strength and vigor, and became a mere wreck of her former self. Then she tried Electric Bitters, which helped her at once, and finally made her entirely well. She is now strong and healthy."

The mosquito is a small but powerful insect with a sharp jigger at the end of his snoot. It amuses itself by singing, and lives on blood. When it stops singing you feel a pain somewhere about you, and then you slap where the pain is. The mosquito will bite animals, but prefers the human race. It never does any good to swear when a mosquito bites you. It doesn't help you a bit, and it irritates the mosquito. There was a man in South Chicago who was bitten by a mosquito seven years ago while he was working in his garden, and he has never worked in a garden since. Chicago Tribune. Wm. Williams.

Let young men and women let other books alone, say, for five years, and feed on Shakespeare, Milton and the Bible—not nibble the choice parts—but thoroughly chew and digest, as they read, and the highest mental force and equipment will be the result. By the way, it is not necessary ever to go out of Georgia to point moral of this little sketch. Herschel V. Johnson was a great thinker and a great man. He said, "I know nothing of fiction." But he knew much of Shakespeare, Milton and the Bible! Benjamin H. Hill was a great thinker and a great man. He never read but one novel in his life, and was not conscious of deriving any benefit from that—I mean mental growth! But he knew his Shakespeare, his Milton and his Bible. Why multiply illustrations. Herschel V. Johnson's state papers are models of the best English. Benjamin Hill played upon the English language like a harp— Well, manner and matter is about all you can get out of literature. When you're getting why not get the best?—Atlanta Journal. Soap Bubbles for Weaklings. Blowing soap bubbles for the development of the lungs of nervous and anaemic children is a treatment advised by a Montreal physician, and it has met with remarkable and gratifying results. The Canadian doctor, who has devoted himself to obstetrics, has found in the latter years of his practice that mothers in the fashionable world object to crying babies, and do not hesitate to sanction the use of opiates by nurses—and the nurses give full and unqualified approval—and he recites what is well known to every physician, that the baby which is lulled to sleep and not permitted to howl and yell becomes deficient in lung power, and after babyhood is passed is a weakling. He has undertaken the treatment of just this class of children by the simple but original method of expanding and contracting the lungs by a pastime which the sickliest child will take hold of with little or no persuasion. He has devised a saponaceous mixture which will make "tough" soap bubbles, so that in the desire to increase the size of the thin-walled globe the little patient will exercise his or her lungs to the fullest extent—and the simple little trick is working wonders. Fine Feat of Engineering. Philadelphia is noted for many daring engineering feats. One of the most daring, perhaps, was when a four foot water pipe was moved a distance of twelve feet without interfering in any way with the water service. It is said that no other country offers an exact parallel to this interesting and great undertaking. To realize the remarkable nature of this feat it must be understood that 1,200 feet of pipe, weighing, with the water, about 60,000 tons, was moved out of line 11 feet and then lowered 12 f AT EAST TURNER HALL GIVEN BY RICE LODGE OF ELKS Thursday, Sept. 27 HARRIS FAMOUS ORCHESTRA ADMISSION 39 CENTS THAT'S ALL! Press Bureau Notes Continued from page 1 It is now evident that there has been a misinterpretation of the new school law for the District of Columbia. Section 10 of the act provides, not in terms, but by intendment, that each and every teacher who is removed from the system shall only be removed after charges have been properly preferred or the cause of removal properly stated and the teacher, in each and every case, given an opportunity to defend himself. This clear intendment of the law has not been followed, and as a result of the failure to follow this course, we have a great problem facing the schools of this city, which may be settled by the courts or by Congress, whose action has been greatly misconstrued. This is a very serious matter and demands immediate and careful attention. It is said by those who ought to know, by those high in the councils of the affairs of the city, so far as public sentiment is concerned, that had reform been attempted instead of revolution, much good would have been accomplished; but, it is said, the whole system is now in a state of demoralization, from which it can not recover in many years. We hope this is not the case; but whatever the true state of affairs, there has been a lack of that true statesmanship which should have dominated a work so important as the present undertaking in the public schools of the District of Columbia. CERVUS I.B.P.O.O.E.C. ALCES RICE LODGE NO.39 One thing, we believe, this trouble in the public schools will effect is more marriages. The uncertainty and confusion will have a tendency to cause the young teachers not to require, as has been the case, that a young man to be marriageable, must have a brick house and $5,000; but they will now do with less. It has been charged that the Press Bureau has been merciless in its attacks upon some of the citizens of the national capital; that it has blighted hopes, dwarfed ambitions, held up to scorn the traitorous and unclean, denounced corruption, the unscrupulous, the assassins of character, those who have denounced their brothers without cause and for gain, and that its members refuse to follow drunkards and the honorless way. To these charges we plead guilty, because it is our duty to defend the public and warn them against those who would hinder real progress. We have no desire to wrong any man, except we have to do so for the good of the community in which we live. Perhaps, at some day not so distant, the Press Bureau will be no more, thus giving an opportunity to those whom it has disturbed, to breathe a sigh of relief. We are conscious of the fact, deeply conscious, that there are those among us who would have stopped our activity long ago, but we are going to the end, unawed. P. S. TWISTER.
